TIE ROBBERY or THE DORCHESTER BANK. 1--WE gave
yesterday the startling intelligence, received BY tel
egraph from Boston, Of the robbery Of the Dorch-s
ter Bank, in that neighborhood. II was perpetraied
on Saturday night last, and large amount of both
bank bills and specie-equal to $2O OO0-was ab-
suacted from the vaults of that institution The
singular and unique particulars of this burg ry,
far as ascer'ained up to this time, will be found
in our columns elsewhere. This Transaction is
generally considered, by those who profess to know,
TO have been perpetrated by some Of the same gang
who are supposed to have robbed the jewelry store
in Baltimore, few months ago; also, more recent
ly the Cleveland Insurance Co. of Ohio, Of large
amount of funds--the robbers Of which, have been
just arrested and the money returned. e
Il will be recollected, that Of the burglars who
perpetrattd the famous robbery of the government
Jewels fcm the Washington Patent Office, some
time snce only one was convicted, and the rest es
capped under a stool-pigeon mantle, and have ever
since been abroad upon the community. II will also
be recollected, that time ago, a burglary was
committed on the Westerly Bank of Rhode Island
of which little account has been taken or nves-
tigation made. The robbery of the jewellers shop
in Baltimore, followed soon after; that of the
Cleveland Insurance Company was not long be-
hind; and we now have the magnificent robbery
Of the Dorchester Bank, near Boston--all forming
consecutive series of z" safe preccdens," originat
ing, is generally understood in the fertile intel
lects of some of the stool-pgeon gang, whose head
quarters in this city, whose recent transactions
have begun to be understood and appreciated by
the world at large. The following may be
sidered list of these recent robberies and burga-
res, with the amount taken:-
Tie government jewels from the Patent once
one punis he'd the rest escaped. 900.
The Westerly Bank Of Rhode Isand-no trial,
The jewellers shop in Baltimore no discovery. 10000
The Cleveland Insurance Company-robbers
Tie Dorchester Bank, (ass) )-no discovery. $1,000
Aggregate .$e2 600
All these nefarious burglaries have followed in
a regular line Of succession, and appear to have
originated in the same gang or cotcrte of brilliant
operators who have recently set up business on
the indeps ndent principle, and have located their
headquarters in this city. Some of them have
served regular a1prentceships to the business in
London and other parts ofEurope. The other aids
and assisants 10 the gang, are composed of black
mail reporters TO the disreputable press of New
York and the country, stool pigeons for the of
the independent Vidocq's Of the day, and small law
yers, who set up on their own kook round about
the Tombs, to pick up cases of similar kind,
wherever they can get them, The regular and re-
spectacle police authorities of New York, have been
engaged in making discoveries that will reveal, by
and by, some of the secrets of this gang, and their
recent operations in various parts OF the country
and we are prepared TO receive some astounding
disclosures, one Of these days, that will deveope
the whole Of these ncfarious proceedings, which
have been going on, for some time past, among
the stool pigeon gang in this city and throughout
the country. The respectable police authorities of
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and of other Cities
ought 10 join their efforts with the regular police of
New York, in discovering the haunts and projects
ofthese rogues and their supporters.
PiANFIELD FINANcIEEs ON GENERAL TAYLOR
The Plainfeld hnancers are very severe and savage
on General Taylor, because he insisted that his
cabinet should carry into effect the neutrality laws,
well as the laws Of nations, in reference to the
recent pratcal expedition fitted out by Lopez from
New Orleans, TO the Island Of Cuba.
These pirates and their organs. instead Of ex-
hibiting their teeth in such way, ought to rejoice
and be glad that they have escaped by the clemency
Of the Grand Jury, from the punishment due to
their violation Of the laws Of the country. But the
Plainfeld finsncicrs have always been lucky. A
Grand Jury in New Jersey once indicted them for
pank--one Of batch of bubble banks which they
had set on foot-and the Governor Of New York re-
fused to deliver up the indicted, as the Grand Jury
now have refused 10 look narrowly into the viola
ton of the neutrality laws.
They are lucky but let them have care how
they proceed in these expeditions and practices any
more. They should turn their attention to the
bubble cf enafeing the Bauery-that may do for
the present TO smusc their readers and humbag
the public.
