Chicago, Nov. 18.-A special cible gram gives the following particulars about the London robbery: A nost daring burglary and robbery has just been committed at Hatton Garden Branch Post Office, and property valued at £100,000 carried off. The brilliant execution of the robbery show it must have been planned by mon of great skill and audacity. Hatton Garlon is the very heart of the north-east part of the city, and the contre of the wholesale diamond market of London. Shortly after four o'clock in the afternoon, when the Post Off clorks had just finished scaling the bags of rogistore letters that were to go out by the night mail from the Hatton Garden Post Office, some thieves entered the office, suddenly turned out the gas, soize: the registered letter-bags; and escaped. Tae bags contained property worth £100,000, No clew to the thieves has yet been discovored.
