GREAT BANKING HOUSE ROBBERY. One of the
greatest robberles ever perpetrated, occurred on
the night Of Sunday last. at the London Banking
house OF Messrs Rogers Il Co. Whether con-
E4OOOO -or to the manner in which its abstraction
was accomplished, this even stands foremost in

navigation render the robbers craft comparatively
sasy IN distant parts of the world, it is the duty Of
every man in buslness--of every honest man, to
intercept the purloined booty, and bring if possible
the perpetrators TO justice. 1t is customary
