Robbery ON the stanislaus.

irrcm the bau joaquin hepuollcan June Io.
One Of the most deliberate robberies we have
ever heard Of was committed on Wednesday last,
q. the forks of the road, where there two sign
posts, eight miles beyond the StanIslaus. As i've
persons, one named Mathew Rule, another Henry
H. Tandy, two Frenchmen, and one Pole, on that
day, were on their way to stockton from the Mari
posa mines, they were passed, between the Norwe-
gian and Texan tents, by three Americans, two OF
whom rode splendid match horses, Of a strawberry
roam color, and the other brown mule They saw
them again at Burns's, again between the Tuo-
lumne and Dry Greek; the robbers stopped at the
Dry Crock tent until the travellers had passed,
but overlook them at the forks of the road before
described, and made the attack. One ofthe French
men was in the wagon, and had double barreled
shot gun loaded with fine shot, but the robbers
presented their pistols at him, and said, "You
id robber, we've got you now; get out Of that
wagon, and give up the money" MIR. Rule, think
ing that the Frenehman might have committed
some robbery, told him TO got out; the poor fellow
got out accordingly. The sooundrels then attacked
Rule, demanded his meney, said it was their busi-
ness to rob, and intended to have all the party IS
worth. Each of them had two six-shooters and
long knives. Rule and his companions had no
arms, and, therefore, were compelled to yield up
their purses, amounting to $2l4. They then drove
their victims into hollow, bound them, and after
unhitching their teams tied them up to the wago
administered draught Of water to each of the cap
tiyes. and coplly left them.

at is more blessed to give than to receive
Itwill relate mos, affecting incident Of
charity and suffering, which came to my
knowledge directly from the lips Of one Of
my most esteemed friends, Of one OF Gods
mobiles, specimens Of man, Paul Poe. He
is Spanish gentleman, and formerly a
merchant in this city, but is now resident
of Barcelona, where he retired some years
since with handsome fortune. Owing to
the constan, political disturbance in his
own native country. he obtained Consul.
ship from our Government, which he now
holds, and which he obtained only for The
purpose Of being protected.
The incident occurred with particular
friend OF his and mine. he being also a
Spanish gentleman, Of great wealth. and oI
course Catholic. His name being Span
ish and somewhat singular, | have forgot
ten it; knew him, however, well. In a
conversation with Mr.. Poe upon the subjec'
of charity, he related this story.
Mr.. Parilla was going home from his
store in Grand street, few evenings since,
when he was stopped in Broadway, near
White street, by woman, who accosted
him in this manner:

SIGXERS OF THEDECLARATI0N OF
INDEPENDENCE.
ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON.

Although Robert r. livingston wa.
not one Of those who signed the Declare
ton of Independence, yet his name should
ever be insepsrably connected with theirs
for he was oste Of the committee of the
immortal Congress of 1876. to whom was
lntrusted the momentous task of framing
that revered document With such con.
siderations ne have deemed it our duty
to append the memoir of that great man
to the biographies of his colleagues in the
National Council whence emanated that
Declaratory Set which gave birth and
freedom TO great nation.
Robert r Livingston was of noble lin
eage-noble. not only by royal patent, but
in high and virtuous deeds He was born
in the city Of New York, In the year
l747. and was educated at Kings (now
Columbia) College. He graduated with
honor in l764. at the age of seventeen
years. aud then entered upon the study of
the law, III New York. under Mr. Smith,
a barrister of considerable eminence there.
and subsequently Chief Justice of Canada
He was also an historian of New York.
Not long after obtaining his license as
attorney and counsellor. Mr. Livingston
was appointed Recorder of the city of
>ew York. At that time (l77I. the ex-
citement in the colonies against the home
government was strong aud general. and
he warmly espoused the patriot cause
his father was also an answering patri-
1t. and because of adhesion to the rebels
they were both elected from Office.
In l775, Mr. Livingston was elected a
member of the Continental Congress, as
sembled in Philadelphia, where his activ-
ity and zeal we're such that he was re-elec-
ted for l776 He took part in the de-
bates which occurred on the motion Of
Richard Henry Lee. of Virginia. declar-
ing the United Colonies free and indepen-
dent and hs was placed upon the com
mittee. which Congress appointed to draw
up Declaration of Independence, In con
formity with the spirit of the revolution.
and was present when ii was adopted
The name Of Mr Livingston was not
affixed to the Declaration Of Independence.
but in regard 10 the reasons why his sig
nature was withheld, his biographers are
silent. We venture the opinion that he
regarded as correct the doctrine that the
representative is bound to act In accor-
dance with the expressed will of his con
stltuents. st the time the Declaration
was acted upon and adopted, the Provin-
clal Assembly Of New York still withheld
all sanction 9f SO strong a measure, and
hence it Is probable that Mr.. Livingston
did not think proper to take the response

without the sanction of his con

They deemed it just the crowd should shrink
Before the cap and gown;
They thought il wrong the poor should think

Made for the use of lords and kings,
And only meant for such

And so the mass from habit gave

The prince may act gayer part;
But he who works for bread
May have, purchance, warmer heart;
And, perhaps, a clearer head.

Behold brighter day!
