GREAT ROBBERY.

BosToN, August6.-On Saturday night
last, the Cumberland Bank building, in
Portland, was entered by false keys, and
robbed of over TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS. [THs whoie
capital Of the Bank is 5 800, 900. About
S 10000 were in Cumberland Bank bills,
mostly fittiss, twenties and tens. AS
there are no fifty nor twenty dollar bills of
that bank, lawfully in circulation, and
but few tens, il is hoped this circumstance
will lead TO the detection of the thieves.
There was also about nine thousand dol
lars III bills on the old Portland Bank,
Name Bank, and one five hundred dollar
note on the (BostoD) Manufacturers and
Mechanics Bank. About 81 600 in gold,
and 5 5 600 in silver, were taken at the
same time; a part ofwhich has been re-
covered, and hopes are entertained that
The exerflons made 10 recover the proper
~, will be further successful.
A reward of S 1000 for the detection of
the thieves, and the recovery of the pro-
perry stolen, or 500 for the conviction OF
the thieves, have been offered by the d.
rectors.
Our country brethren are informed,
that tue circulation of Cumberland Bank
bills is suspended here, and that the
banks yesterday refused TO take them.
