NEW YORK JAN. 30.
Robbery.--Mr. James Thompson, a stranger, from Kentucky, was knocked down about 11 o'clock last Monday night in Warren street and robbed of a red morocco belt containing $50 dollars in N Carolina bank bills, and a pocket book, containing a small sum in New York bills and many valuable papers. The club with which Mr. Thompson was knocked down, was found by his side on the pavement. The blow laid the back part of his head open in a most shocking manner. A man has been taken up under strong suspicion of having committed the villainy, and ordered to prison.
