a man yoIbing Aimsey.--At an
+ early hour ON Wednesday morning,
whilst the steamboat Boston was on
her way to this city, one ofthe passen.
4 gers named Slade Hale, grocer in
This city, informed the captain that
\ some person had robbed him of 1900
dollars during the night, whilst he was
asleep. The money he alledged had
been in his coat pocket, and the rob-
(. Der cut through The outside Of his
Il coat end extracted it. In corrobora-
lion of his account he showed him the
cut made in his coat, & as the captain
had no reason to doub, his story, when
/ the steamboat arrived here, instead Of
Infringing her into her berth, the captain
kept her out in the stream and sent for
q police officer, until whose arrival no
person was permitted to come on
shore. Mr.. Huntingdon was the o.
ffiCer who went On board and inquir.
Ting into the occurrence, he suspected
that Hale had not been robbed at all,
and proceeded TO search his person.
Mr.. Huntingdon could find none Of the
money on Hale, but found in one of his
pockets two money labels which had
been around packages Of bank bills, &
ltbis confirmed his suspicious that Hale
shad secreted the money himself, which
he said he was robbed Of. No part of it,
however, could be found, & the matter
Terminated for The present. Yesterday
morning, come person connected with
the steamboat, found bank bills 10 the
amount of $500 under the carpet that
covered the stairs, which money il was
surmised must be part ofthe sum Mr..
\ Hale said he was robbed Of. Information
.of this money having been found, was
sent TO the police Office, and Mr.. Hop.
son directed that il should be put back
legain under the carpet where j, was
Efound, and sent an officer to watch for
whoever went to take it away. MIR.
Huntington accordingly went down
\ on board the steamboat, and concealed
himself in one of the births near the
Stairs, where he patiently remained
AneaIly four hours, at the end Of which

athat his name was Wanton w. Capron,

\ AS there appeared nothing criminal
