DARING ROBBERY,

PHILADELPHIA, November 2—Last evening about 8 o'clock, a most daring robbery was committed at the house occupied by Mrs. Livingston, in Market street, three doors above Tenth. The front door on Market street being open, two men and two women walked boldly in, securing the door behind them, went directly up stairs where the family were sitting in a back room—presented pistols, tied Mrs. Livingston and a servant girl back to back with silk handkerchiefs they brought with them, and tied the arms of Mrs. Livingston's daughter behind her. and while one villain stood guard over them with a horseman's pistol, the other man and woman broke open trunks, bureaus, &c. and ransacked the house.—After tarrying about half an hour and using threats to extort money and valuables, the robbers secured the family in a back room and departed, taking with them a variety of plunder; among which was a gold watch, encircled by two rows of diamonds— a first quality feather bed with a check outer cover—a rich damask bed quilt—a female work bag containing papers and other articles—a purple velvet reticule with gilt clasp—watch chain—necklaces, and a variety of other jewelry—with many other articles. and the keys from the doors The robbers were all white persons—the men middle aged and of a middle size, one of them had on a blue short jacket with three rows of small buttons. The men are described as rough looking; the women were disguised and had their faces muffled, but there is no doubt they were well acquainted with the house, and acted as guides. Information has been given to the Police, and we hope for the credit of our city, that so daring a robbery committed in a populous part of the town so early in the evening, when the moon shone bright as day, will not go unpunished.—Prompt measures should be taken to secure the villains, in order that females may feel themselves secure when dwelling alone.
