Daring Robbery.—A valise was stolen from the City Tavern (Doolittle's) last evening, containing from $7000 to $8000. The valise belonged to Mr. R. B. Kinsley, the proprietor of the Newport and Fall River line of baggage wagons. Mr. Kinsley is constantly passing between Boston and Newport, bringing and carrying letters and money for his friends and customers on the route. He puts up at Doolittle's. Yesterday he came on in the stage coach, bringing his valise containing two packages of bills to the amount of $7000, for the Suffolk Bank, and a large number of letters to merchants in the city, containing as he thinks, cash to the amount of $2000 more. On his arrival in the city, he deposited his valise in his box, in the Bar Room of the Tavern and locked it. It being too late to deliver the packages and letters, he left it there, perfectly safe as he supposed. About half past nine, intending to go to bed, he went to look after the valise and take it to his chamber, but he found that the lock had been picked and the valise stolen. There is no clue to the discovery of the thief, nor does suspicion light strongly on any one. The deed was bold, and was no doubt perpetrated by some accomplished rogue, who knew the nature of Mr. Kinsley's business and the probable contents of the valise. Mr. K. offers a reward of $500 for the recovery of the property, which we hope may be restored to him, not only on account of the lawful owners, but for the sake of Mr. Kinsley himself, a most excellent and worthy man, whose distress at his misfortune, is truly agonizing.
