that (he confession is not in the possession of
any leading Methodist. If it were, they would
at once see the necessity of bringing it to light,
t Remise coining out, os it must and w ill one
of Ihese days, the fact of the concealment by
any body of Christians would not reflect much
eridit upon them, and as they are perfectly cer
tain tlr.it the assistance which that denomiua
t'on rendered to Avery was based upon a con
v ictiou on their part of his innocence, and hence,
when tisstired of his guilt, nothing in our view,
could prevent them from making it known to
the w hole world."
It seems improbable that fucIi a confession
should be undo in Ohio, and one person in Pro
viilence only have the facts in his possession.

The UonnnnY of Pomtrov's Exprpss. A
number of rumors pievail in New York, relative
to the arrest of Mr. Uiist, of the S racuso House.
One is that 1'inks, the supposed accomplice,
is Tho'nas Banks, who was some ti.no ao a
large mail contractor ; that he was lirst arres
ted in Syracuse, charged with this robbery, and
bailed out in the sum of !.(KMi, by Mr. Host,
of tho Syrieusp House ; that he then left that
place and was apain srrceteiJ in lbilltilo, whin:
he implicated Mr. Knst, who was thereupon
immediately arrested. Another rumor is, that
when Mr. ll:iat was arrested, four or five thou
painl dollars of the money packed in the trunk
wis found on his pernon or in hi house. Ano
ther is, that both Kitst and Banks were in New
York on iho day of tho robbery. And ano
ther is, that they and Cobb returned to Albany
together by the same train of cars, on the morn
ing of the robbery. The next Albany papers

he went to the theatre with I) V , a
cold beater, who, I believe, now trat.siets bu
siness in f" street. He told me, before
he went, to go to the store at such an hour
to tinchnin the dog to take half n gallon of
turpentine throw it out on some shavings in
he room, and then set fire to it, which I did,
and nearly lost my life by sa doing. I then
left the burning house. W'aito returner! from
