Mr. Sedgewick, we learn, is, the bearer
Of the original ships papers. 1t may be

GREAT BANK ROBBERY.

We learn that the banking house of
the Philadelphia Bank was entered by
means of false keys, between Satur-
day evening and yesterday morning,
and robbed Of small notes amounting to
about sirty three thousand dollars. How
a robber could gain admittance to the
vaults of an institution which keeps
constantly in pay an outside watch, we
cannot imagin; but this has been done
twice within a year in Philadelphia,
and was twice done since in New York.
Among the notes taken were about
thirty eight hundred dollars of the
Doylestown Bank, nearly an equal a.
mount of the Bank of Germantown;
and considerable amount in Trenton
notes. The rest was in notes OF Phila-
delphia banks, including those of every
denomination except thousands and five
hundreds. The number of Elites sto-
len is very small.
It will be seen by the advertisement
of the cashier Of the bank, that re-
ward of Three Thousand Dollars is Of
Eered for the detection Of the robbers.

The suhjoined extract, from an article
IN London paper on the state and pros
poets of the English manufactures, de .
serves particular attention, not so much
on account Of the statements which it con-
talns, as on account of the quarter from
which they now proceed There is moth,
ing now in the facts which have long been
but TOO well known TO the manufacturers
Of this country but we have seldom seen
them set forth so plainly and intelligibly,
and 10 manner calculated to appeal so
strongly to the understandings and feelings
OF all who take patriotic interest in the
support of our manufactures. Here is a
candid confession on the part of the En-
glish manufacturers, that they can "con
trive,n at present, TO ward off the danger
of American competition, not III conse.
! quence of being able 10 undersell permG-
nentiy, or furnish better and cheaper ar
ticle for any length of time, but by their
liability 10 lose vast sums" and incur &C.
normous temporary sacrifices" in order TO
PROSTATE our manufactures in their infan
cy, and prevent them from gaining that
strength which would speedily SET foreign
competition at defiance, without the as
sistance of protecting duties. II is their
power of preventing the establishment OF
| American manufacturers, and not of con-
tending with them if our own government
! or people should permit them TO gain a
firm footing. which enables them TO effect
'fhe ruin and despair Of the pains taking
/ maker OF domestics "
Their power consists, according 10 the
writer Of this article, in their "enormous
/ capitals" low rate Of wages, and "super-
excellent machinery" Incorporation of
manual labor TO machine power IN the
production Of manufactures is so triiling,
that the difference between the rate OF wa
ges in this country and England, yields
them no advantage worth speaking of. 1t
is not actually so great as between Great
! Britain and many parts even OF the Con
tnent Of Europe, which have been "delu-
ged" by British manufactures. The "sn-
per excellent machinery can be had at
least as good in this country as in any part
of the world. The mechanical and inyen-
tive genius Of our countrymen is almost
proverbal: and in water power, and cheap
ness of fuel, we certainly have the advan-
tage over Great Britain. II is in amount
of capital that their strength consists ex'
cusively-and there is capital enough IN
this country, if 1t were permitted to accu-
mulate in The manufacturing branch OF IN
dustry to form an effectual bulwark against
the enormous temporary sacrifices" OF
the British manufactures.
