ROBBERY OF U. 8. CrsroM-HoUsE.-
The front door of the Custom-House, loca-
ted on fifteenth street in this city, was dis
covered to be open yesterday morning; and
the Collector, VIM. NJ. Harrison, Esq, be-
ing informed Of the circumstance, re aired
to his office, and found that the safe, con-
tanning tho United States treasure on de.
post at this place, had been blown open
with gun powder during the night, and
$20,6es in gold coin abstacted by tho
robbers, who, after helping themselves TO
that amount, left over $4,000 remaining
in the safe and scattered over the Aoor,
where it was placed apparently for removal.
The money was contained in QUE Of Her.
rings large sized salts, the lock which was
powder proof but into which enough was
introduced through hole cut below BY a
cold chisel, to enable the burglars to blow
the safe open. Tho force Of the powder
was so great that one side Of il VAS entire.
ly spoiled, the bosts of the lock being crack
ed and the iron work rent in peices. -
The robbers must have been skilled in
tho business. It is surmised that they en-.
tered the Custom House by the front door
door, the lock # which they picked for
that purpose. They may have concealed
themselves in the building previous to its
being locked, and thus had bctter opper-
tunity 10 perform their nefarious work. Il
is very certain that for some time past tho
city has been filled with fast men from
abroad, who, judging, from their looks,
would not stop at any scheme calculated
to "put money in their purse" 1t is pre-
sumed that tho races and near approach Of
the State Fair have brought or will bring
here m influx of notorious chararter quito
sufficient to give an uneniable character to
Richmond. ..
AS the amout stolen would be 10 much
for one person TO carry with ease, it il not
unfair to pcnume that several persons were
engaged in tho robbery Of the Custom
House. s20,6ss would weigh nearly 100
pounds. 1t may safely be set down as the
most daring robbery ever committed here.'
All sorts of minors were ahoat yesterday
about the arrest Of two parties supposed
to be conccrcd in the affair, but they wero
without foundation. No one has yet boen
arrested, and inasmuch rs the robbers left
no clue likely to lead to their Identification,
It will be somo time yet before the perpe.
traitors will be traced ont. hI
