THE STOLEN PROPERTY RECOVERED FROM NEW YORK THTEVES, For some days past there have been rumors that quite a heavy robbery had been committed in one of our city banks, but the matter wa3 kept very quiet, and the officers of the bank in question, (the National Metrepolitan), succeeded in recovering the stolen property a few days since. It appears that on the second day of July the bank officials were gone busy pay! dividends, €c., In addition to their regular busi- ness. Mr. G. H. B. White, who occupies a desk in the northeast corner of the room, (approached by a gate in the iron railing, at this point only about four feet in height), was busily engaged auswering questions on business of some four or five persons, and had before him on his table a package containing negotiable bonds valued at above $15,000, preparatory to cutting off the interest coupons which had fallen due; also, some real estate notcs not Regotiable. During his conversation he looked down to the iable and found that the above-mentioned package had isappeared, as also three men who were in the bank together,and who, it was subsequently as- certained, were joined by two others on the out- side, As soon as the lo3s was known detectiv- 3 were called 1n,and Mr. Charles Flinders has- tened to New York to stop the sale of the bon Mr. Flinders returred with the information that they could be recovered, but It would cost somet i shortly afterwards Mr. John W.

Health Oficer Townshend yesterday addr aletter to the District Commissione: g that on the 12th instant, finding that complaints of neglect on the part of the collectors of garb- age were becoming more frequent, and recog- nizing the fact that we were about entering upon the season when a large influx of melons. green corn, &c., would greatly increase the amount of the garbage to be removed, he in- Structed Sanitary Inspector Kobinson to devote himself for the period of one week to making a thorough investigation into the manner in which the service was belng performed, and to make a report thereon, giving a plain state. ment of facts in the case. He states that he did this in order that he might know to what extent extra service for the increasing acca- mulation would be required; that the.cause of neglect reported in certain sectiodS might be ascertained, and that he might be able to act intelligently in remedying detects, if found to exist. On the lith Inst. Mr. Robin: son made his report, a very thorough one,show- ing that he had fully canvassed the two cittes. From this report it was learned that only nine Wagons were eraployed; that seven of the nin= had enly one man to accompany ¢ach, ard car- Tied only five barrels; that cértain Sections of the City were entirely negiceted; taat in others collections were being made irregularly, and that there was necessity for an immediate in- crease in the service. The report showed plataly that the contract was far from being coruolled With, and would have fully justified him (ihe Health Officer) in reporting that fact to the Commissioners. Thinking, however, that the agent of the bondsman. when the facts were made known to him, might go to work to rem- edy defects and tucréase his Service as required, he addressed bim a polite letter, calilng acte: tion to neglect of certain sections, and Tequesc ing that a few additional wagons be put on: ending his letter with the statement tnat un- less improvement was made, he would not feel justified in certifying to the fact that service had been duly rendered, This letter was handed the agent tn the health office on the 2th, and on the 22d, in reply thereto,there was rceetved a lengthy docame: intemperate and unreasonable throughout filled with vituperation and abuse, from bez. ning to end, and denying, In the most tasu! terms, every statement regarding the se made in 3 (the health officer's) letter, So far as the py alties and silly assertions ar: cerned he cared nothing, but as It shows ly that the parties concerned consider thi service 13 now being properly pertorny If drews i y the puipit | According tocusion | Will be under the super- | ig elder of thts Distt: on Brown.
