on account of any disagreement between the

R0bbeTy-Mr. KEAN arrived this morn
ing from Boston. On his arrival at the Civ
Hotel with his baggage, he discovered that
lns trunk or case, which contained all his va
liable papers, and considerable sum of mo-
neY had been stolen. A case was left very
similar TO the one belonging TO Mr.. X.
Among the papers were some receipts, sign
ed by I.c Roy, Bayard g. Go. Mr.. KS en-
gagements with several managers, and ntf-
mcrOus letters. There were also among
other valuable papers and articles two bank
notes of one hundred dollars each, and
quantity Ofspecie IN English gold The case
somewhat resembling better trunk, left in
the place Of that ofMr. Il. and which is now
in his possession, was filed with stones, an
old pair Of paDtaloons, and vest. Il is sus-
pected that the robbery was committed on
board ofthe steam boat, as mr. X. knows
that his trunk was safe with him at Hart
ford. lie thinks it probable he was followed
by some person from Boston.
