T1.0 mystery which has hung over the robbery of the City bank for a week past, and excited so much of the public at tention is at last solved. On Saturday night about 12 o'clock, Justice Hopson, High Constable Hays, assisted by some Police officei s, arrested a man named Ebward Smith, at a Boarding House corner of Broome and Elm streets, in whose possession ua discovered a small travelling trunk filled with Bank Notes, which, on exami nation, was found to contain 8185.735, and proved to be the identical money stolen from the City Bank I he balance 263,203 (including the doubloons) is yet missing. Smith is the very man, who was sus pected by the Police Officers ficm the very first, and they were actually on the look out for hira. Some of this 1. ana previous acta have rendered his character notorious. He is said to be the individual who some yrs ago committed tbe great robbery of 27,0OO sterling from a mail coach in England, and compromised with the Bank loi 9,000, with which ill gotten gain he arrived in this country some 6 or 8 years ago. He is believed to be the same person who took from the iron chest of the steam beat Chancellor Livingston last fall, on her passage hence for Providence, which money was afterwards discovered secreted amongst the baggage and this same man was one of those who recently lobbed the sloie of Mr. Schenk in Brooklyn. By way of a cover to his crimes, Smith has for some time kept a small shoe atoie in Division street a few daya ago he changed his lodgings, and took up his residence in the house above alluded to, under the assumed name of Jones. We understand that his strange conduct in relation to hi trunk, first excited the suspicions of the lanclord and induced him to commui.icate his suspicions to the police, which resulted in his apprehension. Smith was taken to the police office this morning, where he underment an examination but he refused to give any satisfactory answers the money was safely deposited in the bank. Among the money found, is the who' amount belonging to the Morris Canal Company, and the principal part of Messrs S. tc M. Allen's. NEW PRINTING PRESS. For the past three months we have had in operation at this office, a new Printing Press, invented in this city by Mr. I. Adams. During this period tve have done upon it, besides the Statesman, Book tnd Job printing, and can sately pronounce it, in the execution ot every variety of work, by far the best invention of the kind that we hare ever seen. This Press being the second that was, built, it was of course imperfect, in some parts; but by the ingenuity and attention of its manufacturers every obstacle kae been overcome and is now in the full lido

of successful experiment. It will work twelve sheets a minutes with perfect ease, and is capable of doing fifteen or twenty, if necessary. Two boys or girls, to lay on and take oiT the sheets, and a man to turn a large wheel, by which tho whole machinery is put in motion, is all that is required to attend its operation.We confidently recommend it to the attention of our professional brethren. Messrs Greele & Willis of this city aro the sole agents for its sale. Baton Staten;an. PUBLIC MEETING. LAWRENCKBUHGHi I A. APRIL 2.
