 ed in the same room. While at breakfast, this morning, Clark cut open and rified his
 valice, and departed, leaving his bill unpaid, and his baggage behind him. r--ass+'r isai'l MT. Harris was not more than twenty min- utes from his room. The discovery was made; so soon that it is confidently believed, the, This Clark is we'll known robber.

 Clark is an adept in robbery. He had a
 narrow escape at Rochester, where he at
 tempted to rob the room of a British Officer,
 and got off in a struggle to arrest him, with
 out his hat He is well educated, with a. greeable manners, and renders himself a
 pleasant travelling companion. He isa man
 of short stature, light hair and complexion ; deeply pock n1arSed,, and about forty years
 old. ..Areward of three hundred dollars is offered for his apprehension. a,T The money was principally of the Canton Bank, Ohio. ~; 4 o'clock P, M. The fellow who robbed the President of the Canton Bank, has just been
 brought in. He was arrested two miles from the city, by a>man of whom he attempted to
 buy Q horse. He had either hid the money or given it to an accompiice. He is cool, accomplished villain, who affected the great
 est astonishment that HE should be suspected ofsuch an act l! I never saw villain put on better face. That Poor Boy, Rahinsonf was not ,r.ere ixlssrzurubtc 7inS features and

 men, and yielding millions of dollars, is now
 the inmate of a prison. sf Yes, this extraor-i
 dinary man, who but yesterday was lord of
 most he surveyed, is now consigned to a cell four feet wide and eight long He was struck down in the very midday of career of un- paralelled enterprise, the memorials of which attract the eye in every direction. All the |
 genius which ador1 this magic city, are the creations of Mr. Rathbun. This spacious
 Church, yonder beautiful Theatre, that splens
 did Hotel, those numerous blocks of Stores, and these elegant Mansions, were all erected
 by Rathbun. These stores, filled with mer- chandise, invite custom under the name of B. Rathbun." This Black smiths shop,
 this Coach -maker's shop, these Brick and
 Lime kilns, and that Saw-mill, all belong to
 Rathbun. Those stages running hence to Chautauque, to Batavia, and to Niagara Falls, all bear the name of" B. Rathbun. !" In short, this most extraordinary man was either di- rectly or remotely connected with all thebu- siness relations of Buffalo, and the surround ing country, His brother, Lyman Rathbun, who managed the money department is con
 fined in another cell. His nephew, Rathbun
 Allen, the clerk who is supposed to have com
 mitted the forgefies, was arrested in Ohio,
 and was yesterday committed to the same prison. The wife of B. Rathbun is held in
 universal regard. In her praise every tongue
 IS eloquent. and for her every heart, in this city, bleeds.e Lyman Rathbun, also; has an
