MAIL ROBBERY /,

A telegraphic despatch was received here on
Sunday evening by the Postmaster Of this city,
informing him that the New York mails for Rich
mond, Raleigh, Wheeling, and points westward of
Wheeling, were robbed on Saturday night at Gray
Ferry, near Philadelphia. No particulars Of the
robbery have been received but, if the entire mails
enumerated were stolen, money and drafts to a
large amount must have fallen into the hands of the
robbers, and it would seem proper that bankers,
brokers, and business men generally should be
upon the lookout for the stolen funds.
We understand that the Post Office Department,
has already adopted measures for the investigation
of the case, and that large reward has been offered
for the apprehension of the robber or robbers.

Welearn unoficially, but no doubt correctly, that
the Hon. THos. BUTLER KING, late Representative
in Congress from the State of Georgia. has received
from the President of the United States the ap-
pointment of Collector Of the Revenue for the port
of San Francisco, in California.
The Administration has, we think, been fortunate
in obtaining the services, ior this important duty,
of gentleman so well and SO favorably known to
the whole country as Mr.. KING, and so distinguish
ed by the ability with which he has discharged the
public trusts which have been hitherto confded to
him. We shall be sorry to miss him in the place
in which we have been accustomed to see him
but we have confident trust that the change of his
sphere of duty will rather enlarge than contract the
sphere Of his public usefulness.
We learn further, also unofcially, that the Presi
dent of the United States has appointed SAMUEL D.
KING, Esq, one of our own townsmen, well known
for his former long connexion with the General
Land Office, and his thorough knowledge of the
Land System Of the United States, to be Surveyor
