THE NAIL ROBBERS.


The third man concerned in the robbie
ry Of the mail was yesterday committed
to prison BY alderman Bartram, OF ms
city and most Of the money taken from
the mail has been recovered. ltappears
that the whole plan was formed here =
that it was to have been executed Oh this
side the Susquehannah; but when the
men arrived there, they concluded to
cross the river, as there would be a
greater chance Of their getting 10 Balti
more undiscovered than to Phliadei phia.
After the detection of the two in Bal l.
more, the third Immediately stepped on
board the steam boat, and arrived here
on Saturday last. 1t appears that seve-
raj were concerned in the plot but they
did not think it advisable, nor did they
deem it necessary, for more than three
to leave Philadelphia 10 make :hc attack.
As soon as the third man arrived here
there was a meeting with those concern
ed in the plot, and on Monday morning
the money was distributed among them
for the purpose Of exchanging lw" Of
these men we're detected that day whilst
attempting to pass one Of the notes; they
had, however, exchanged between 4J0
and 500 dollars before detection. The
proceeds Of what they had exchanged
were taken TO the principal, and have
since been recovered. On the following
day the principal was taken. and on the
next day four others. All but one are
committed for tria ; the principal will be
set to BaItimore-the others, we pre-.
sume, wal be tried here.
We cannot close this article withou.
noticing The vigilance Of the police, and
the exertions made, in conjunction with
MIR. Bailey and the Young men in his of
fee, in the detection Of the perpetrators
md the recovery Of the money. The
promptness with which the inspectors OF
the prison aided in the detection Of the
principal perpetrator also deserves to be
noticed
When we reflect that in three days
nearly al the money has been recovered,
and all conce' ned have been safely lodg-
ed in prison, we deem it unnecessary to
make any comment on the activity and
perseverance, of those who assisted.
