u n ,tftfftft 11fs feo56er of tdc City Baak taken.-The mystery which has hung over the robbe- l y of the City Bank fer week past, and excited so much of the public at ltention is at last solved.
 On Saturday night, about twelve O. icloek, Justice iiopson, High Constable Hays, assisted bysome police officers. ar rested man named Edward Smith, at q boarding house corner of Broonne and Elm streets, in whose possession was dis covered small travelling trunk flied with bank notes, which, on examination was found to contain Sl85,73S, and proved to be the identical money stolen from the City Bank. The balance S63. 203, including the doubloons, is yet mis- sing.
 Smith is tho very man who was sus- pected by the police officers from the very first, and they were actually on the look out for him. Some of this mans previous acts have rendered his charac- ter notorious. He Is said 10 be the in- dividual who some years ago committed the great robbery of G27, 900 sterling from mail coach in England. and com promised with the Bank forf9, ,O00, with which ill-gotten gain he arrived in this country some six or eight years ago. He is believed 10 be the same person who robbed the iron chestof the Steam- boat Chancellor Livingston, last fall, on her passage hence for Providence. which money was afterwards discovered secret l ed amongst the baggage; and this same man was one of those who recently rob- bed the store of Mir. Schenck in Brook l fyn.
 By way oi a cover to his crimes. Smith has for some time kept small shoe store in Diyision-street-a few days ago he changed his lodgings, and took up his residence in the house above aiiud- ed to, under the assumed name of Jones. We understand that his strange conduct Tn relation to his trunk, first excited the suspicious of the landlord. and induced him to communicate his suspicious to the police, which resulted in this appre.
 
 hensIon.
 Smith was taken 10 the police office this morning, where he underwent an examination. but he refused to give any satisfactory answers. The money was safely deposited in tie Baak.-.9dp.

The BLUE BErasEp {. Memo" ,te under strapper for the heads of the ( Jaw-Bone' faction, is really too contemptibte to merit our notice. This parsonage, as the sigma ture of his production implies, is truly soBeDy--he carries the brand 0-ssf=sATEL- nIrF-L,0 too indelibly stamped on his fore head, for us to notice either lis annony- nous production or his Editorial para graphs, and we should not now have conde- seended to give the codfsh upstart even this passing notice, but for the fact of his having been empowered to ofliciate in the capacity of pro fem. Editor, in the absence of his lord and master, Lihle Billy. To know him, is a sufficient refutation of all lie has said, Editorial and otherwise. This man can excite no other feeling in our breast, than pity mingled with contempt.

A making 1t ahigh misdemeanor for white man to reside in the Cherokee Nation withouttaking the oath ofallcgiance and obtaining apermit from his Excellency the Governor, or his agent, is now in a course of execution. Unlast Sabbath, alter the usual time of divinc-seryice. the Georgia Guard arrived, and arrest cd three of our citizens, riz. Rev. Sam nel A. Worcester, missionary of the < lneHean Board for Foreign Missions 1; Nf. John r. Wheeler, one of the priu- ters of the Cherokee phenix; and Mr. Thomas Gann--the two last mentioned are citizens, with Cherokee famiIies.- Mir. Isaac Proctor, assistant missionary at Carmel, had the evening before been taken, and came with the Guard as q prisoner. They were conducted to the residence of Mir. Taryin, where they werekept under guard during the night. In the morning they were marched of by way oi Etahwah, were we presume, thesame evening the Rev. John Thomp- son, another missionary of the Ameri- can Board, was arrested.
 Our object is now simply to give facts as they have occurred before our eyes, and not to indulge ourselves in remarks --the scene has just commenced, and We must wait until it closes. Although our readers will recollect, that the law under which these worthy men arc taken Is express, and the punishment severe, taaprasoi'ntent fa the peniteltiqrg for not Cess hdn four years, yeti would be do- ing injustice to the good people of Geor- gia to say, that the law, enacted as this has been at a time of great excitement, will assuredly be executed. The Court may honorably acquit them, and thus save the credit of inc State. It does not become us, therefore, to anticipate the result, and comment upon these pro ceedings at this time. Nor are We dis posed to censure the Guard, for doing what they undoubtedly feelto be their duty. We must observe, however. that we cannotsee the propriety and tie use ot such a military movement to arrest. without process, few unarmed and peaccable individuals and VIC Lad ra- ther by q great deal they had come or some other day instead of the Sabbath The men for whom they were in pursuit were not going to run away and leave the country: they would have been as sure of finding them on any other da, as on tie Sabbath.
 In justice to the commanding officer (Col. Nelson) we must say, that he act ed with q great deal of cniity and kindness towards his prisoners while 1T this place. lie was so accommodating as to allow Mir. Worcester to return with q guard this evening, and take sup per and attend worship with his family he also gave him the same privilege il tue morning. We wish we could Sd, that all acted kindly, but we are oblig ed tcsaotieeqoite d different behaviour "a behaviour, however, we have reasot to believe, disapproyed by the comnan der.-P Phcrliu.

 "An object of gloomy interest pre- sented itself, a few hours after despatch
 ing my last letter to you; it was the wreck of avesselat sea. A handsome and entirely new hull, lay bottom up wards, washed by the surf of high and broken swell. We lowered boat, and took her alongside with a stout rope, in hopes of being able, by taking the end back to the ship fo heave the lost yes- sel upright; but finding 1t exceedingly dangerous to the boat to attempt that experiment, directed one of the car pentcrs 10 leap on the wreck with an axe. The intrepid fellow succeeded. and in despite of it's tumbling and toss ing, cut a large holein the bottom, from which issued a current of confined air, 'so very fntid as to indicate but too plain y, that some of her unhappy crew were still inhabitants of their faithless bark. " ( hailed, but no sound was heard, but that of the disturbedsea among her shat tered timbers.
