ROBBERY OF THE .GREENOCKI3ANK.  Since mirlast, a number of particulars have transpired, in connection with this extraordinary occurfence, which, as they have become the subject of general conversation in town, we cannot omit mentioning, for the information of our more distant readers. We were right in supposing the the thieves were strangers ; intuit now turns out that they had been loiiztedi as an American would phraSe it; for a veryconsiderable time amongst us. Two of the four ascertained to have been concerned in the robbery, are traced to have taken and occupied lodgings at the west end'bf the town as'far back as the 24th of November last, and to haVe met their-confederates occasionally, no doubt for concerting operations, in the;apartments of a spirit.dealer, in Hamilton-street. At. their lodgings they behaved civilly and paid prompt!) ; but althoughthey usually went out at an early hour in the morning, even in the depth of win= ter, and seldom returned till late, no other suspicion was excited, or conjecture formed regarding them, than that they were probably seeking concealment to evade the demands of Creditors.. They changed their lodgings repeatedly since the period abovementioned. A .gig,, which they bad with them froM GlasgoW, was deposited with a stabler at the Rue:end, and was frequently taken away and reti ned. by them during their abode here. Inflict, the whole process, which,mnst have been one of labour such as might have exhausted human perseverance, and fiaught with danger calculated to appal the stoutest heart, seems to have been 'Carried on with a deiterity and success, of which we know not any parallel. Yn r.,the (best from whence the money was abstraeted, "a considerable sum in tole and mixed bank notes'was left. The Cashier's cash chest, containiig. the ,Comparrystock of specie, and of notes which had never been issued; -withs bills, bonds and variotts.other valuable securities, remain untouched; likewise; Iwo 'clist.s under the charge of the deputy. teller,-Inite4 money, and to a Very large; amount. Whitt the sum Was, ivhich was carded off, ire have no authority to say':- common rumour states .it at about 20,006/ of which little mote than 1,0001. were in geld': the notes, it is .understood, were chiefly small -Dotes of the .(ireenock Bank. The whole party having seemed, their retreat, arrived,in Glasgow on Sunday. afternoon. From thence two of them proceeded to Edinburgh, the same night, in chaise hired from a peraon; the- Gallawgate. The other two, it is conjectured, went Off by Carlisle. Monday forenoon they eil'ected the exchange of On Greenock note's fol. "others, at different banking houses in Edinburgh and Leith, without creating a suspieion of so song a nature as to lead to their apprehension. .The amount so exchanged is said to he 5,00.0.1, Their rotAte,tiy te'dinburgh was; followed ; from .thence they were,successively.traced.to Haddingtoti,,. Dunbar, and, ,Berwick ; and by the latest accounts, it appears obvious, they- wouid proceed without delay to London. Sonie time, therefore, will. probably elapse • before the final issue of this daring enterprise is known.—Green'ork Athfrrtiser.  tIENRY MUTTELT, (the brother of JOHN ThirETErr., the -Murderer of WrAar.) who went out, last yeir, -as Master-st-Arrbs, id the Atlas East./ndiaman, fell evelboa-,d, and eras drowned, while the vessel was lying in the at Canton, in the early part of October fast.
