TRACES OF THE BANK RoBBERs.-The Ports.
mouth Transcript of Monday states that on Sum-
day evening last party of citizens set out to
take walk over tho track of the Seaboard and
Roanoke Railroad. When about three quarters
of mile from town their attention was arrested
by the whistling of partridge near the road side
upon stepping into the bushes to get sight
the bird, one of the party discovered large piece
of cheese and two or three loaves of bread wrap
ped in a pocket handkerchief. This led TO a
general search, when one of the citizens found
under the roots of tree, covered over with rub
Dish, quantity of silver plate belonging to Saml
M. Wilson, Esq. which had been deposited in the
vault of the Bank, and was taken away on the
night of the robbery with the money. In few
minutes more lot of burglars tools were found
secreted under log short distance from the
plate. comprising every thing necessary for the
successful prosecution of burglaries, such as
skeleton keys, lock pckers, bits, files, &c. Fur
Their searcl, was prevented by the approach Of
night but it was undoubtedly renewed the fol-
lowing day; but with what success, we have not
learned
We learn from the Norfolk Argus Of Monday,
that sundry persons, Of suspicious character, who
had previously been arrested, were arraigned Sa.
turday before John Nash. Esq, Justice of the
Peace for Norfolk county, in the basement room
of the Court House at Portsmouth, charged with
being connected with breaking into the Branch
Bank Of Virginia in that town. The examina-
ton Of a man by the name of Bland was first in
stituted, and the evidence against him was of
such character that he was committed to an
swer the charge before an Examining Court of
Justices. A young man by the name of hurry,
an ingenious mechanic employed in the Gosport
Iron Foundry, was afterwards put on the stand,
but the evidence was not sufficient TO impicate
him in the transaction, and he was discharged
Two or three others are in Jail awaiting an exam
ination.
The Norfolk Herald says that four of the fifty
dollar notes, known from their numbers to have,
been part of the money stolen, have been passed
to a Broker in Charleston. s. C.. This fact indu.
ces the belief that the robbers of the Portsmouth
Bank have gone South.
