IL will be recoliecied that this Bank, which
Is located at Wheeling, was robbed in October
last. On Saturday evening last, two or the
robbers were taken at the Theatre in this ci-
y, and have been sent 10 Wheeling, viz: VIM,
Hun, alias Devaugh, alias Moore, and -
acfherson, from the latter Of whom, We un-
derstand, considerable sum was some time
since recovered in Maryland. Al the same
time was arrested James Dean, alias Samuel
BiddIe, alias Waipool. The latter was dis
charged for want Of evidence to identify him.
u IS presumed, from certain circumstances.
that they are the same persons thai entered
and robbed the Jewellery Store of Messrs.
Montelths in Baltimore, a few weeks since.
OF goods to the amount Of from seven 10 nine
thousand dollars. Mr.. Kelly, of Columbus,
traced them to this city, where they were
discovered and taken by Messrs. Doty, Ha-
