Posr orrIor, Cry OF Nrw YoRx,

Albany received on Friday morning note from the
Postmaster of New York TO the following effect
Posr oFrrcr, s.r c,rrSr Nrw :, ,ss' ,YsossK'
We received no pouch from your office oi the ith hs
oy the o'clock boat presuming 1t contained as usus
for Baltimore, have written to those offices.
! have also communicated with the department a
Washington. Respectfully yours,
ROBT. ii. MORRIS
The mail here sposen of was taken to New York il
the Knickerbocker steamboat. 1t was not IN charg
of mail agent, no such officer being appointed
boat, which lands at all the river post Offices
II was not M ssed till of the 18th We in
formed by the Posi- Master here that the person who's
duty is TO bring the mails TO the New York Post Office
states that he found the mail bags lying the dec
of the boat, the officer in whose room they wer
usually placed for safeguard having retired to hi
berth and left them on the deck. instead OF retain
ing them in his room, and delivering them to the pos
office porter when the boat arrived. The "pouch
spoken of in Mr.. Morris letter was not among them
The boat reached New York at O'Clock in the morn
ing The mail must have been taken off in the interya
between the landing and the arrival OF the porter from
the office. How accurate this statement may turn
to be cannot tell but as stands it throws the
sponsblity for this affair upon the management at the
other end of the route.
The mail exceedingly valuable The CONNER
c!ai Bank had enclosed in i drafts to the amount
$4,000 the State Bank $40 000in all about $l20000.
These were in all instances we believe, drawn paya
BILE to order and forged endorsement will be necessary
before they be made available to the robbers
No money as far as yet ascertained, was lost.
The information of the robbery came here so late a.
to render unavang all efforts for the recovery OF the
loss or the detection Of its authors These efforts are
however pushed vigorously and trust ssfully
by Postmaster Norris in New York
Mr. Wasson suggests that possibly the mail may have
gone on Southby mistake This Of course, will soor
be known, --.4i6ony -9aas, Nor To-
