y MILLION or DOLLARS a GEAR.-The
Washington correspondent OF the Baltimore
San says: Commodore Vanderbilt stated in
this city that he made million of dollars II
year, clear of cost, when his Nicaragua line
was in operation. A detailed statement OF
his profits in 1858 aud 81, now published,
shows that the amount was not exaggerated.
The profits will now be much greater, be-
canse trade with California has much in
creased since 1854.
Commodore Van ,erbit began life as q
White Hall boatman, in New York harbor

A Remarkable Trial.

a while since, the Bank of Keep & Brown,
of Buffalo, was robbed of large amount Of
money, by some one who opened the vault
with the regular key, which is Il cOmbina-
ton key. Alexander r. Allen was the clerk
who had charge of this key, and who was
at once suspected of being the robbcr Two
other Young men, named Devereaux and
Burns, were implicated and also arrested
Aliens trial came on first, and although the
proof seemed overwhelming, and the cir
cupstances such as to utterly preclude the
idea of his innocence, the jury disagreed
two holding out against conviction. The
press and public opinion very generally con-
demned these two jurors, and thought the
disagreement Of the jury was a burlesaue
upon judiciary proceedings.
A second trial was had, and then Burns
came forward and swOTe that he and Deve-
reaux committed the robbery. That he,
Burns, was an intimate companion of Allen
that for months the plan OF robbery was
being matured that he wanted to get the
knowledge of the combination numbers al
which the key was set; that on the night OF
the robbery he slept with Allen in the bank ;
that he got the numbers, 8, 8, 6, Z, 4, &, on
one side, and blank =, 2, 3, A, on the other
that while Allen was asleep he opened the
vault, and, with Devereaux, got the money
that Allen during the time turned over bnt
did not wake up; that the bits of the key
were wrapped 10y Allen in n shawl and put
under his head; that the stem of the key
was in the drawer, &c
Burns swears that Allen is innocent, and
that he has not before confessed, hoping that
Allen would be acquitted, but remorse has
now driven him 10 confess. What the re-
suit of the second trial is We have not heard
The young men all have relatives OF the
highest respectability in Buffalo, and the
trial creates great interest.
