A most high-handed robbery was committed on Thurs- day night, in tte neighborhood of the Five Points, upon the person of Augustus Scbairing, a German, living at Bridgeport, Connecticut. It appears that he was sitting in the public house, No. 6 Mott stree’, on that evening, when Louis Stratton, a lodging house keeper on the Five Points, when another man eaters¢, aud soon engaged in conversation with him. They tovk three or four drinks of a poisoned liquor whizh the keeper of the place called rum, and soon the German felt very drowsy. Stratton offered to lot him have a bed at his house for six cents, which offer he nccepted, and all three started into the street. but had proceeded but a short dietance when Stratton and his accomplice, as is alleged, knocked the German down, ard, by means of ‘randishing a huge knifs «da pistui, im froin making a noise, while they rob'ed him of $35 in bills on Lridgeport banks, and $50 in coin, aiso his coat in the rockets of which were tvelve pawn ickets for articles ledged, and his cap.

Yesterday afternoon Archibald Henderson, a long bearded man, was found in West Broadway flourishing a formidable sword, much to the danger of avy who approached him.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. I noticed, under the head of ‘Police Intelligence,” in yoor paper of yesterday, (15th day of Decomber,) the arrest of Matthias P. Coons, Martin §., his son, and Clark 8. Dunning—all residents of the city of Brooklyn—apon the charge of couspiracy, which charge was preferred by me; and also that I had been arrested and held to bail to keep the for threatening to kill Matthias P. Coons. Now, sir, allow me, as a simple act of justice to myself, to correct an error committed by your re- porter. That I preferred a charge of conspiracy against atthias P. Coons, Martin $. Coons, and Clark 8. Du ning, is true ; but that J waa ever held to bail by Justi Osborne, on the charge of threatening to take the life of | Matthias P. Coons, or upon any other charge, is false I was Detore Jus- tice Oxborne on the charge of Matthias P. Coon: with threatening to take his life, and claimed @ hearing. He ‘Coons) was not prepared to meet the case. The case wis adjourned for a few days, during which time he (Coons) was notiiied to appear and substantiate his charge, which he did not do. After waiting one hour beyond the time appointed, I was honorably discharged by Justice Osborne. With regard to the $20,000 of notes spoken of in the report, Lean ouly y that I never received that or any other amount of # belonging to said Coons, neitber do I, or did I ever, owr him one dollar, as his receipt in my possession will slow. So for as relates to my being arrested for per- will state that upon affidavits made, I can-ed tt P. Coons to be arrested for obtaining mone: from me under false and ‘raudulent pretences, whic! examination is now pending before Justize Blatchley in Brooklyn; and during this examination, the said Matthiaa P. Coons swore out a warrant for my arrest before Jus- tice Curtis, which Justice Curtis refuses to hear until the false pretence case before Justice Blatchley is fully beard ane disposed of. How your reporter could have made statements in the article above alluded to which did not appear upon any sapers connected with the complsint on which fe made che report I am ata loss to conjecture, One word to my friends, ard Ihave done. In relation to the contro- verey between Mr. Coons and myself, I only ask a sus- jury. pension of their opinion for a short time, when the whole | matter will be laid before them fn a provor form JA .

Before Justice Bogart. THE EMPIRE CITY BANK FIRE. A fire occurred in this bank on the night of the 9th inst., caused by the unsafe constraction of a furnace fiue used for the heating of the bank department. It seems by the evidence shown by the investigat‘on, that the furnace had been constructed by A‘S. Cowles, after the erection of the building, and the sheet tin plates forming the flue were fixed very near the lathes end flooring. The intense heat soon commenced to char } woodwork near the heater in the vicinity of the register in the cashier's office, where the fire seems to have first started, and run up between the lathe and plaster to the ceiling. This furnace flue has been by several witnesses pronounced imperfect and unsafe in its construction. Mr. Dennis Harris, owner of the building, directed the furnace to be constructed in the most per- fect manner, and believed it had been done so. Several witnesses testified to the great heat and smoke for several days prior to the fire, as felt and seen to come from the vicinity of the register, and on the afternoon of the fire, water had been applied on the woodwork to prevent its bye! fire. On several occasions water had been thrown on the baseboard, near the register, fearful that the great heat would wet the wood on fire. Joseph Gravet, the porter, testified to closing the bank at aout five o’cloct, then Jeft, and was absent until between nine and ten o’clock, when, ow his return, he discovered the Dank full of smoke, and the premisps on fire. Mr. Binin- ger, the president ‘of the bank; Mr. French, vicc-pre- sident; Mr. Creamer, cashier; Mr. Hubbard, the paying teller, and others, all ified to the appearance of smoke in the bank since they occupied the building, and also to the unsafe construction of the furnace flue, and that the origin of the fire was caused by the heated flue being in too close proximity to the woodwork. A. f. Cowles, furnace builder, testified that he was employed by Mr Dennis Harris to ercct the bot air fur- nace ip the ssid bank, about the middle of last Septem- ber; Mr. Harris did notinstruct him in price, but direct- «him to put in a furnace in the very best manner; the «stimate wan made for $75; Mr Cowles built the fur- nace in his best mamner, and gave it his special atten- tion, for the purpose of making it secure; he attributes he fring of the buildiug to the neglect and mismanage- ment of the porter or person employed to attend to the fires and the registers: he recollects being called to exa- mine the flues shortly after its construction, and he hen found the wood work in the cashier's room very hot, t that time; he explained to the porter how to manage he regitters and the furnace fire, in order to prevent ecident, as by closing the registers and not opening the water door, at the furnace. the heat would so far in- crense, and not having any ercape, the wood work would be in danger of taking fire; and in’ this manner, he feels satisfied, through not, following his instractions in the management and regulation of the apparatus, the building was set on fire. Before putting in the furnace flues, Mr. Cowles rays he consulted Mr. Renwick, the architect of the building, and also Mr. Cryer, the builder. Mr. Cowles has been for the last twenty ye in putting up hot air furnaces, and for years of that period in this city, and this is the first in stance of a fire occurring from # furnace of his make, and (Lis would not have taken had the parti chase followed his instructions in the management. Mr, Harris, owner of the building, testified emplying Mr, Cowles to erect the hot air furnace in the best man- ner. but he gives ax his opinion that the fire was caused by the neglect of the bank porter to follow the instruc- tions of Bir, Cowles in the management of the fires and registera. FIRE IN DIVISION STREET. On the Ist December a fire took place in the dwelling house of John Desenr:th, No. 163% Division street, in the two story back bedroom. caused. by the carelessness of some of the boarcers in leaving a lighted candle too ncar the bed clothing, ‘Ihe damage done amounted to about $100. Covered by inxurance FIRE IN FULTON STREET. On the Sth inst. a fire took place in the carpenter's shop of William Rogers, in the reat of No. 198 Fulton street. The investigation showed that its origin was caused by rome lighted embers ‘between the hearth stone and the fivoring, buraing off the trmmers and netting tre to, the floor, burning a bile completely through. The fire was evidently the result of the inso- cure manner in which the fire in. the firepla xe had been used. Loss about $200, Covered partly by insurance. ‘Williamsburg City News. ‘Tor Farmers’ anv Crrzeys’ Bayx.—Some little uneasi- ness bas been caused smongst depositors and billholders of the Farmers’ and Citizens’ Bank. in consequence of rumors that their biJls were thrown out by the brokers in Wall street on Thursday.
