More Financiering.—Two fellows went into a house in Boston the other day, said to be a house of doubtful character, though we should doubt that, and in the absence of the woman who kept it, stole money to the amount of $5,000. On their errand, they encountered a girl, an inmate of the establishment, whom they tied, and otherwise maltreated, and then made their escape. Since then, a person named Washington Dunbar has been arrested, supposed by the description given by the girl, to be one of the robbers.
Dunbar's examination was postponed on Thursday, in consequence of the continued illness of the girl who is the witness.
