    Mail Robbery. - On Tuesday evening of last week the western mail bag containing the mails for Utica, Geneva, Canandaigua and Rochester, and the branch routes therefrom, was cut open and all taken out except the bag for Utica. The robbery was accomplished between Albany and Schenectady. The mails stolen contained letters and papers for the southern and western counties of the state. The large bag would undoubtedly been taken had it not been secured by an iron chain.
    The mail bags have been found near the turnpike, about 3 miles from Albany. The letters and package had all been opened, and the money taken out. The letters and packages have been preserved by the Postmaster at Albany, who has advertised them as intelligibly as their mutilated condition would permit. We do not perceive that any of them were directed to persons in this vicinity. The amount of money taken is up posed to be small. The robbers have thus far escaped detection.
