Kelly arrived in New York from New Con cord, Kv. He was en route to Ponghkeepsio to attend Eastman Colloge. He came via the Pan Handle route. On reaching Jersey City ho took from his boot leg; the Bumd '!i!0 and placed it In his pantaloons pocket. Tho money was in a wallet. After getting on board of tho ferry boat, ho inquired about his baggage, and was told It vo'i dd reach the opposite shore as soon as he , did. After reaching New York he Inquired how Lo was to reach Thirtieth Street IituUon River Kallroad Depot. A man i-tenped up to him and eald, "I am iroing around there and will take you." This inan luui a couch. Ho mild, "Give mo your check and Ret into tho coach. I will bring your baggage iu a lew moments," and left. Ha returned in a short tiuio aud suld, "Your baggage will bo on the net train." This was after dark. Some one then called the man away, and he got upou the box and drove a short dis tance and stopped. Then another man came to the coach ana said to the student, "Come, I'm goln to the Hudson River Depot." The student got out and entered tho second coach. After being In it a moment the driver went oil and got nnother man, and when the two reached tlio couch tho driver said, "Here's another man going to tho same place you are: just remain here till I got your valises." The stranger entered tlio coach and seated him- self by the side of tbo stndcnt, saying soon after, "1 am geltniu, colli: let us go to uiti lire and stay till the driver comes buck." Tlio student l jected. nnd they sat still again. Finally, the stranger said, 4,I must jro to the firo," and (fot out. Soon nfier ho was gone the student missed bis wallet aDd money.

To the olliclals of many of this railroads run ning out of this city the statements about to bo given will not bo news, but to the masses who patronize the railroads some intonnaltoti may be derived as to what they nte likely to lie exposed to while travelling. Several months ago it was ascertained that trnnks containing valuable articles of clothing nnd jewelry were being; broken nlonir the lines ot tbo llarttord and New lltivitift-id tin F.rie niul New York Central KaUroads, and a port io.i o the contents Mo'cn. The ollii'eis of the. roads, it is said, exerted i ery ellort to discover the autlior.s ol tlio roidieri'-s aud the points at which they were perpetrated. Th;:ir Investigations w ii'iil iioiiail. I'iMj'erly eoiilintied lo disap pear in u lnystcrious inatiiier, especially on the Central lioud. It was discovered, however, that nearly all tlio robberies occurred on night, trains between Albany and Suspension Hiide, and be tween Troy and New York. Durintr the laut two uionth, it is said that tra vellers have lost more than 4 KKi.(KK) worth of property on the Central Hail road alone. Kc ccnily the working up of the case has been given to some expert New York detectives, who are now engaged in endeavoring to fathom the mystery of these peculations. It Is understood that in most cases the companies throw the responsibility of the robberies on the city express companies, aim assert that their em ployes are the really guilty parties, but this is by Lo means clear. llio lust extensive robber)' reported occurred on the 4th of November, between Albany and Niagara. At three o'clock in the afternoon the Baron and Raroiicss Olj;a de M.iluta Fralolf, at present residing a', No. Wcs: Tweuty-tbird hired, in this city, took the train from Albany lor tint Falls, having checked their baggage through to their destination. On receiving it at the 1' alls Irotu the railway company it was dis covered that an irnineiiso quantity of costly laces, most of which bus descended through the family to the Baroness, und is valued at a very large amount, had buen stolen from one of her trunks, the locks of which had been wrenched oil by some thieves who gained access to the baggage ear. i ue company's ollicers have since that time devoted their energy to the recovery of the pro perty, without effect. Tliejtrticleii stolen consist in putt of three volants tllottuces), each ten metres long, in all thirty-three yards, for cor sage (.waist), similar laces, eleven yards; five and a ball corsage, one-third of a metro lu width: live volants (tlouuces), one-third metre wide. till. '."-five yards: for corsage (waist), one quarter meter vide, fifty-five- yards: for corsage t wuiot ), oiie-iiiarier metre wide, eleven yards; two volants (flounces), with tunique, twenty-two yards; lour ditto similar laces, forty-seven yards; lor mantilla live and a half yards; two valauts (tloniiccs). twenty-two yards: Utty-tive yards of laces of various widths und designs, and other property, swelling the. total to several thousand dollars." It is understood that the Baron, desponding of ever recovering the property, ban applied t tin cojiipanytoreiinbur.se him for Ids loss, with ni suceess,niMl. consequently, be has just offered a reward ol t KHH) tor its return. It is likely thit this large reward will result in the detection of Home ol the baggage smashers who travel on the railroads for the express purpose ol robbing passengers and their confinement at the Central Police OJlioo, where, the robbery lias been re ported.

The Cuban expedition, which started from this city on hist Friday night for the mouth ot the Potomac, where an armed vessel was in waiting to embark the men who had sworn to sink or capture the Spanish llotilla, now on lis way to the "ever faithful isle," has proved a failure. We learn Irom Cubans well lnlonnec! on the plans laid down to govern the movements of the destrovers, that Messrs. George Abbott nnd Albert J.atig had arranged to co-operate with a certain leader of a former unsuccessful expedi tion, and he assured them that ho had made such preparations for the enterpriso that success was certain. 110 promised to meet Mr. Abbott at a certain house in Broadway, near Bleeeker street, on Monday night, at lO'ift) o'clock, when he would accompany him to a tugboat tilled with armed luen awaiting thorn iu the East) river. This boat waB to have gone to sea in pursuit of the gunboats, which they expected to overhaul off Hatteras, where the armed steamer Repub lica, lrom the Potomac river, was to join them. Tegether the two steamers were to attack, and, if possible, board some of the gunboats and sink the others. But this leader failed to keep his appointmeot, aud knowing that the Repuu lica was provisioned only lor three days, two of which had already expired without auy move ment on the part of the New Fork portion of the expedition, Lang gave up the matter In dis gust. He could do nothing without money, which the Cubans refused to advance him, and the lack of energy displayed by the above-mentioned Cuban leader, on whom all had Implicitly relied. Uinhenrteiied him, and he withdrew from the affair. The fifty men who left this city on Wednesday night to join the Kepubliea have re turned. The abandonment of this enterprise, says our Informant, renders the arrival of the llotilla at Havana a certainty. He assures us that the At lanta, or Triumph, as some call her, has nothing whatever to do with this or any other Cuban movement, and that no possible danger now lies between the gunnouts ana tueir destination, it is possible, however, that this statement may not bo altogether correct, as vague hluts are thrown out uy Cubans lu this city concerning tho Triumph." Thoy pretend to expect news of some disaster to the gunboats ere long, and kindly ask all Interrogators to "wait and see." Thus far nothing has been heard of a startling nature by tho well-wishers of tho flotilU. A". 1'. jff'mfs, to-day. OJ- l 1 T S.

The amount which it Is proposed to pay for the lease of the bay is larger in proportion than it is be lieved we can get the whole Island for. There are various stories about arrangements having been made by parties who were in tho secret of negotiations to purchase largely ia the immediate neighborhood of Satnnaa Bay, iu the hope of an advance in property.

Important Intelligence The Official Correspondence Between the State Department and Mr. Motley Relative to tfee Alabama Claims. FROM WASHINGTON. The Alabama Claims. Special Denpalch. to 27wi Evening Telegraph. Washington, Dec. '22. Tho correspondence between the United States and Great Britain concerning the questions pending between the two countries since tho rejection of tho Alabama claims treaty, which has just been sent to tho Senate, covers over one hundred paires of . manuscript, and contains letters from Motley to Fish and from Clarendon to Thorntou. Secre tary Fish, under ilato of September 25, 1809, addresses Motley, stating that when lie left here on bis mission the moment was thought not to be most hopeful to enter npon renewed dis cussion or negotiation with the Government of Great Britain. Tho President Is now inclined to believe that sufficient time has elapsed to allow the sub sidence of the emotions of excitement and Irri tation. Mr. Fish then proceeds to glvo ft his tory of the acts aud events which have so much uUlur'.icd the otherwise amicable relations of the two Governments, and says: "Although the United States are anxious for a settlement on a literal and comprehensive basis of all tho ques tions which now Interfere with the entirely cor dial relations which aro desirable between the two Governments, they do not now propose or desire to set any time for settlement; on tho contrary, they prefer to have that question, and also the more Important question of means and method of removing causes of complaint, of re storing much-delred relations of perfect cor- diallty, and preventing a possibility of tho pre sentation of such questions in futuro to the con sideration of her Majesty's Government. "They will, however, be ready, whenever her Majesty's government shall think tho proper time lias come for a lenewal of negotiations, to entertain any propositions which that govern ment shall think pi.jprr to prcsaiu, aud to apply to such propositions their earnest nnd sincere wishes aud endeavors for a solution honorable und satisfactory to both countries." Under date of June '2$ Secretary Fish w rites Mr. Motley that 'the President wishes, whenever negotiations on I the subject of the Alabama claims are renewed, I they shall be conducted in the United States, nnd he desires at tho proper time you should convey this wish to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It Is impossible to say at present when that time will arrive, but it will certainly have arrived whenever tlie Rritish Government shall propose a discussion or shall intimate a desire to open negotiations." in another letter to Mr. Motley Secretary I'ls-h says:. "The President is not yet prepared to pronounce ou tlie question of indemnities which he thinks due by Great Britain to individual citizens of tho United States for destruction of their property by Rebel cruisers fitted out in ports of Great Britain, nor is he now prepared to speak of the reparation whlckho thiuks duo by the British Gov ernment for the larger account of vast national injuries it hns indicted on the United States, nor does he attempt now to measure the relative effect of various causes of injury, whether by untimely recognition of belligerency, by Buffer ing the fitting out of Kobcl cruisers, or by the supplying of ships with arms and munitions ol war to Confederates or otherwise, in whatsoever manner. At tho present stage ot controversy the sole object of the Presidcut la to state tho position aud maintain the attitude of tho United In tho various relations and aspects of this great controversy with Great Britain. Much other correspondence lias already been made public In various ways. roDflruintlon of Circuit Judge.
