THE PORTSMOUTH ROBBERY.
7The NorEnlk HeraId. Of the 21st saws:

II nc HOEIO3k k1efot0s OF Ahc @lot says
We learn that one OF two arrests were made
yesterday on suspicion of being engaged in the
robbery ofthe Portsmouth Bank, but as far as
we could ascertain, no satisfactory clue has
been obtained.
The same paper, of the 22nd, publishes the
following proceedings Of the Board Of Direc-
tors of the Portsmouth branch:
OFFicE BANK OF VIRGINIA,
Portsmouth, Jan. 20, 1852.
Whereas, of the notes issued by the Bank of
Virginia, payable at this Office, of the denomi-
nation OF one hundred dollars, amounting to
twenty thousand dollars, only eleven hundred
dollars thereof were in circulation at the time
of the robbery committed on Saturday or SUM-
day night last; and, whereas, the balance there
of, viz $4,000. were then stolen, ResOlred,
That this Office will not redeem any notes of
the said denomination except upon the most
satisfactory evidence that they were bona fde
from this Office and were not sto len or other
wise improperly obtained.

CASHIER.
A Geographic dispatch, received Yesterday,
states that two men, named Harden and Garn-
err, had been arrested on suspicion at Hamp-
ton, and discharged-no ground for OBTAINING
them being discovered. We suppose these are
the two men who are reported to have gotten
off the steamer at Viewpoints News, with guns
and hunting apparatus, their shot pouches
seeming to be very heavily laden with shot
These, rumor conjectured, contained the
American gold.

FROZEN To DEATH-We learn some mel
anchoiy facts, relative to the freezing to death
of some men on the Lake. The facts, for which
we are Indebted to our friends Captain Dan
Hickok. are as follows: On Monday evening,
about nine o'clock, the schooner Gen. Worth
capsiZed on the Lake. She was loaded with
lumber. The crew cut away the rigging, and
she righted up and drifted over to the shore,
near the mouth of the Canal. Yesterday morn
ing, hunter by the name of VIM. Boughton
went out to her with his boat, and found four
of the crew still alive, two frozen to death,
lying on her deck, completely covered with
ice. One man jumped overheard, to swim
ashore, and as soon as he got out of the wa
ter, he likewise froze to death. The schooner
is two miles above the house, about quarter
ola mile from the shore, with the foremost
gone.-NeW Orleans Dektn of the l5th.

relief to those who are weary with wsiiing Tor

better to be cutting " high dutch" than doing no.

at the prolonged suspension of trade. The

places of refuge to all moody citizens, and the lie

Generally II Is SO brief. that 'amateur skaters
hardly get toerably familiar with locomoton on the
ice before it Is over and they hang up their skates
until the mex, winter But owing to the fine oppor-
tunity the present winter has afforded, some OF our
bucks are beginning to move about on the CLASSY ice
with something like grace. Some who were quite
awkward short tune since, are not only masters OF
both high and low dutch, but are making bold efforts
at cutting their names in the ice Even some little
bows who few weeks since were exercising them
selves desperately upon every little patch Of ice in
the cutters, have mounted skates and ventured out
upon wider field These gallant advances in the
youthful population has filed the Dispatch with sort
of emulation that can scarcely be restrained. The
public need not be surprised to see it out in few
days on skates, going ahead at a terrible lick. We
