More Bank Robberies.—On Wednesday evening last, the Coos Bank, at Haverhill, N. H. was opened by two men; the iron chest which stood in the Bank-Hall was taken and carried about half a mile into a meadow—there broken open and left with its contents, consisting of papers only. There was no money belonging to the bank taken; the vault was not opened. On the morning of the 28th, the two rogues were taken, and after an examination, were committed for trial in November next. From the frequent instances of attempts to rob the Banks, it behoves them all to be well guarded.
