LL S. MAIL ROBBED.
The great Southern Mail from
Philadelphia to this city, was way
laid and robbed last night, by-three
footpads who were dressed in short
jackets, with their faces painted.?'
They met the mail coacheear Bridge
town (N. J.) and called to the driver,
desiring him to stop, which he did.
They then instantly?rushed upon
inm with presented pistols, and or
dered him down from the box. One
of them cut the traces of the wheel
horses, to make sure of their object.
This done, and the driver secured, j
they proceeded lo roh the passengers, j
five in number, who kept their seats ?
in the coach. They presented pis- \
tols at them, and brandished a large
carving kuife or dirk over their heads,
threatening (heir lives if ihey did not
give wp their watches, packet books
and money. One of the passengers
complied with their demand, and
gave them his gold watch^ and the
others gave them what loose money
they had in their pockets. They
then enquired for the mail, and on
being told that it was not inside of
the 4oach, but forward, theyJeft the
passengers and proceeded to rifle it
of its contents. They tilled a large
pair of saddle hag* and a pocket
handkerchief with letters, ami then
took to their heels. We understand,
that on examining the mail at our
post office, there appears to be two
Philadelphia packages of unpaid
letters from New-York missing, and
probably many single packages from
the south of Philadelphia were taken
out. This is the second time that
our mail has been robbed within a
-short time, and unless the govern
ment will furnish a guard for its pro
tection, there is tto security in trust
ing money in it.
Since the above was written, we
learn, that one ;>f the passengers had
in his charge iiJ33,000 in bills for one
of our banks. As soon as he dis
covered life unpleasant ^predicament
he was placed in, he contrived to
slip the package out of his pocket
on the floor of the coach, and cover
ed it over with straw, by which
means lie saved it* When they
?
searched him, all Ihev found in his
pockets were a few sltil lings in silver.
A rew ard one thousand dollars is of
fered for the apprehension of the
robbers.?Post,

Steam Boat Mbcmarle.
We have, at last, the pleasure to
announce the arrival of the Steam
Jloat Albemarle, in a passage of 11
hours from Ocracock. After meet
ing with much detention in Currituck
Sound, it was found impracticable,
owing to the depth of the water, to
go through, she was compelled to
go to bea again and proceed to Ocra
cock. Tlie Albemarle is intended to
ply lietween this place and Plymouth
ns a ferry-boat, which will go and
return from one pla<;c to the other,
every day. We have no hesitation
in pronouncing her, superior inspeed,
and eijual in every other respect, to
any boat of her class in the United
States: Iter first trip to Plyvvouih
was |>erfortned in two hours and five
minutes, a distance of Si miles!
Suc h a boat as the Albemarle,
lifts long been wanted on our sound,
where the mode of traus|>ortationj
lias hitherto been attended with even
difficulty, incident to such an inland
sen, navigated boats, which from
their kind, were susceptible of little
or no improvement, ai.vl U)~ person?
?: accustomed to w ?iter-tra\e4t?i
. e.ned dangerous in the extreme.
9 this boat lias b-en expressly bui
_r a ferry-boat she has been ma<U
fficiontly large to cany horses a;,
triages, upon dock with safety an
ise, and provided with every ac
?mmodation, which the comfort anr
? uivenience of passengers may re
?{uire. To correspond Mitb the ar
angemeuts of the Steam-Boat, a
me of Stages has been established
.rom Plymouth, through Washing
:on to Newbern, and from Waslug
.on, tlirough Tarborough to Ralei^
?& another from Plymouth, tbroug'
far borough to Raleigh. By the.-.;
new lines, between Raleigh, (N. C.)
and Norfolk, (Yirg.) a distance 01
about "SOO miles, the main mail stagv.
route of travelling through the South
ern States, has been connected with
the Steam-Boat lim^m tin .Chesa
peake : so that travellers from South
to North, and from ^>onli 10 South,
have it now in their power to avail
themselves of all the facilities, which
Steam-Boat transportation affords a
bove every other.
Gen Jones, of Raleigh, N. C.
has issued proposals for puldishing a '
Magazine, one number in every
two months, to be devoted to Agri-,
culture and the Rural Arts, with oc
casional remarks on Political Kcono-1
