ExrREss RoBBERY.-The Traveller re-
ports that on the morning of the goth ult.,
just after the steamer penobscot left the,
wharfat Bangor for Boston, Mr.. Dalton
one of the Gilman's express men, found
that a valise belonging to the firm had been
cut open and two packages of money, one
containing 1850 and the other $500, ia
ken. The bell was Immediately rung and
the hands and passengers searched but
without finding any of the stolen money.
A young man named Charles Foster was
in the cabin when Dllten brought down
the ~vaIise, which he deposited at the side
of the safe, having some pressing busine IS
on deck.
When he came to put the valise in the
safe, Foster met him and told him that the
valise had been cut open. On investiga-
ton it was found that the money was
gone. One of the hands on board the
boat saw Foster, before the general search
was, pass quickly by some barrels forward,
and put his hand between them. At this
place the package of $3.50 was found; the
other package of $500 has not yet been
recovered. This fact being shown in
police court, Foster was bound over in
the sum of $4,000 to await a requisition
from the Governor of Maine.

The Wilson Case. The examination into
tho case of Alexander Wilson, arrested IN
New York for shooting AT his sister, lasted
two days, and ended in requiring the accused
to give bail in tho sum of $500 for his ap-
pearance. There is a mystery about the af-
fair which the evidence adduced fails o clear
up. Tho accused is a native Of this State,
twenty-nioe years Of age. He was severely
wounded in the ARRAY, having been repeated
ly and somewhat severely stabbed in the leg.
All the parties to the controversy were well
armed, according to the papers. MI, Wilson,
it wac alleged under oath, bad previously
threatened to ehoot his sister in Philadelphia.
The evidence failed to disclose the secret mo.
tive for the hostility between the parties, but
from a perusal Of the whole Gaze. we incline
10 think the objection of the brother to some
matrimonial projects on foot will prove the
key to these unnatural acts Of violence.
