A A'CW York Ctambler Robbed of 10,000 In Ills Own Snloon, The New York Iribwuof this morning 8iy: About 7 o'clock last evening William Mrev, one of the attaches ot the naming saloon on the second iloor. No. 660 Broadway, was seated in tbe saloon alone, near one of the windows on the Prince street side. Ho was gently smokiuu, 1he eas not be ne lit in tho apartment, altbongh the street lamps partly re lieved the gloom. While thus tugasjed some one unlocked the door leading imo the apartment. This dul not snrpri-fjlnm. aj several of the persons connected wlt'a the pla-jo pos sess a key. Tbteo men entered the room, one of whom, walking over to where Mr. Morey sat, brandished a knife brforc his dice and said: "Bou't move, or I'll stab you." The room was too dark to distinguish the faces ot th ) men, one of whom stood near the dcor keeping guard, while a second stood ready to asilst bis comrade with tbe ktille. 1 he glitter ol the koite-blsdo conld be seeo, however, as tbe roflian held it poired ready to s'rike at tbe least indication of a shout for help from bis victim. Thinking that plunder wai the object of bis visit, Mr. Morey took .iron nu iusidc breast-pocket a roll of b lis, amounting to $300, and banded it to tbe tblof, telling him to take it and begone with bis companions. This did not sutisly thcru, however. Again tcilm? Mr. Morey that if he mado the slightest alarm he would meet with instant death, the roboers threw him on tbe floor, and gngped aud bouud bim secun lv. They then took from an inside breast-pocket a package conlalniue $7400 in Treasury notes, bis trold watch and chain, and a valuable diamond pin. aud with their plunder made good their escape. A snort time af.er their departure, Mr. Morey succeeded In re leasing iiis bauds from their confinement and removed tbe gag. He had received no serious injury at tbe hands of his assailauts, although tney Daa used him riuuer roughly, pro ceeding to the Frank I in Hireet Police Station, he related what had befallen hira to Captain Jourdnu. Tbey returned to the saloon, and on examination it was ascertained that no violence had been used in elmcting an entrance. Either the thieves had been given one of the seven keys carriei bv tbe proprietor, Mr. Garvin, the employes, and a lew of the frequenters of the place, er tbey had procured a false key. It is more than probable that Rome one wbo knew tbat Mr. Moicy was in tbe habit of carrying a large sum of money about hira had acquainted tbe thieves with the fact, aud bad, perhaps, loantd a key for the purpose of admitting them into the room. Captain Jourdan questioned theofliceron ibe post, and an old man who keeps au apple stand on tbe corner of Prince street and Broadway, with reference to tbe ufl'air. Both stated tbat tbey had teen three men hangiug around that vicinity in the early part of tbe evening, but had tnousht nothing of it, us it is tbe custom ot many of thoe suspicious characters who in habit thi; Eighth ward to frequent tint neigh borhood in the evening. This lobbery is one of the boldest tbat bus taken place in this city for manv year?. Owing to the darkuessof tbe room, Mr. Morey enn give but a very imperfect de scription of tbe thieve?, aud tbe chances for their apprehension are very poor. The New York Money market, From the Timet. "Tbe Money market Is stifticlcnlly easy at7 per cent., with ezooptlous at 6 per cent., but the return of currency and conutrr bank balances from tbe Booth and West Is yet to be felt In tbe direction of increased loans and dis counts. There Is already, however, a good Inquiry for prime merchant paper, and also soiue disposition to make loans on slock collateral on 1"30 days' notloe. Do rnesllo exchanges are generally In favor ol New York, or If adverse, as at New Orleans, the difference is too slight to require tbe trans mission of currency from New York. Trade shows, for the week past, soma Improvement lnthellneof export, and wo learu that on Saturday freight engagements to a fair extent were made for cotton per steamer to Liverpool, That market begins toexblbltslgnsot respond ing to tbe recent epeculat Ion on t his side. Our experts to Liverpool are now 04,287 bales less tbantothe sameautelastseason, while the re. eel pis of the crop.ou the seaboard, by the Circular of Messrs. Kaston, are 1)4,500 bales more; or, lncludlDH the ov rland receipts, as made up by the financial Chronicle, 228 800 bales more. Last week Great Britain only took. lD.OO-j bales out of 85,005 bales reeeived at all the ports. Less tbsn 700,000 bales ont of a or op now variously estimated at from 2,550 000 to 2,700,000 bales have yet gone forward to foreign market our own spinners bave taken 1150,000 bales, and the stocks on hand (a large portion of which Is held on speculation) bave In creased 017,000 bales, all exclusive of the overland account by the Chronicle. These facts should tell favorably upon tbe foreign exchanges later In tbe season, and lndlrecily noon the orloe of eold, were the latter othr. wise governed than by tbe capricious nps and downs of tbe gold-room. The business in foreign merchandise continues to show a de cided Improvement over last winter, and the amount upon which customs duties were paid In January Is full i' per cent, in exoess of the same month In 1808." Prom the Herald. "Money was In ample supply during the week at teven per cent. Tbe exoentlonal trans actions at six per cent, were iluctnailng In amount from day to day. The remittances from tbe West are still coming quite freoly, and the banks report that our merchants are making their collections with greater facility. Money Is not going so abundantly to t he South. The planters have nearly all reall,d, aud tbe cotton Is now In tbe hands of broker or dealers with New York connection or of New York origin. A Georgia paper says that many of tbe farmers of that (state have now stored away la their money boxes all the way from 91000 to $8000 and 910,000, the proceeds or last year's crops. This Is more money than tbey have teen tor a long, long time, aud they begin tofeeliloh already.

About 7 o'clock in the evcuivg the upper Kobauza dam, which supolied the borouah with water, gave way, letting down the water with such force aa to curry away the lower dam also.
