PosT-oFFIcE RoBBERY-NashUiAe,A April 70,
P. M.-Aubry Wilson was tonight arrested and
lodged in Jail, charged with robbing letter, April
4, mailed from Louisville and directed to Wesly
sand dollars Tennessee bank notes, and sixteen
hundred dollars in checks. 1t has been known for
some time that the above robbery had been perpe-
trated, but the Postmaster here has not been here
tofore able to affix the guilt on any one until this
evening, when part of the money was discovered
in circulation in the city and traced to young Will
son. Immediately on being arrested, he admitted
his guilt to officer Cleveland. He was employed
in the Post-office last July, and continued in the
office clerk, until discharged last January for in
attention. He confessed that on the night of the
4th of April, he entered through some of the

EXPECTATION OF SPEcIE.-The export Of
specie to Europe appears to be steadily on the in
crease. For some time back it has ranged from
Sl,50O,O0O to S2,00O,OO0 per month, but now is
far beyond that amount. During last week the
precious metals exported from the port of New
York amounted to $1,191 ,029. The necessity OF
this drain, in consequence of the heavy imports, is
made the more apparent from the fact that the pre-
sent shipments not in silver, which commands
a premium in Europe but the supply of that
metal beng nearly exhausted the premium of it
being driven up too high in consequence of the
large demand, nearly the whole of the amount now
going forward is in gold, and the larger proportion
in American coin. Nat. Intel.

INTERNATIONAL CoURTEsY.-The Right Hon
Thaddeus Mcdonnell Mayor of Limerick ha,
addressed letter of most friendly courtesy t.
" The Right Worshipful A. G. Kingsland, Mayo
OF New York." dated Chamber of Commerce
Limerick, March 81 1884," in reference to the
intention of many American citizens to embark
from New York, for the purpose of visiting the
great Industrial Exhibition of all Nations to open in
May.
Mayor Mcdonnell says that he has been re.
quested by his fellow citizens of all ranks to address
this letter to Mayor Kingsland, representing the
anxious desire, long cherished by the people oil
Limerick, to establish closer intimacy with the
people of the American Republic, and conveying
the most earnest invitation to the Americans to
have one of their steamships to leave for the
Worlds Fair, chartered for Limerick, on the
Shannon, that the Americans may know how much
lrshmen have appreciated their humane bounty in
the season of famine, and accept, on the occasion
OF their landing, welcome to Irish shores by the
people OF Limerick, the peculiar capabilities OF
its port, and partake of public banquet in the re-
nowned and ancient city.
The Mayor notices the most westerly position of
Limerick on the European shore as favorable to
a commercial intercourse with the United States,
and that Limerick has uninterrupted communica-
ton with London, by railway and steam, in twenty
two hours. He awaits reply, that the citizens of
Limerick may know when to expect to meet their
American friends in the Shannon.

NEW YORK LEGIsLATURE-Mr. Wsbster.-
Resolutions introduced into both Houses of
the New York Legislature, and became joint a
short time ago, to address Mr.. Webster in com
mendaton of his on the Compromise
measures, during the last Congress, and invite him
to visit and partake of the Inequalities of the State
Capital These resolutions were referred in the
Senate to the Committee on Federal Relations,
and have been since " unearthed " by the determi-
nation of the mover of them, from that bourne
whence scarcely travelling resolution is ever
known to return. The result is to be regretted.
The Senate of New York, (or rather its President0
could not afford to do what the Legislatures of
Maryland and Pennsylvania have so gloriously
done-made Annapolis and Harrisburg the radia.
ting points from which have recently been dis
persed all over the Union, received every where
unaffected admiration, some of the most sublime
views of our National Union which its history has
suggested. The vote in the Senate was fifteen for,
and fifteen against the resolutions, the President
casting his vote in the negative.
