The Thief Arrested—His Arraignment at the Tombe—His Committal to Prison. One of the most daring robberies ever commigted in this city was perpetrated yesterday morning in the National Park Bank, where aman made a most desperate effort to obtain a large amount of money. It appears that about half-past nine o'clock yester- day morning a man of shebby appearance, who gives the name of Francis E, Pinton, entered the new building occupied by the National Park Bank on Broadway, adjéining the HERALD office, and made his way quietly to the rear poriion of the omMfce, where he suddenty yet deliberately smashed the large plate glass window fronting the money department with alargeoctagon shaped plate of iron, fully ten inches in diameter and nearly an inch thick, with a handle, for the better perfecting his purpose, This plate welghed tully six pounds and so effectually smashed the glass that Pinton found no difficulty tn . gaining easy access to the piles of bank notes lying on the desk, He seized in the hurry and excitement of the moment a package containing $3,636 in pation- atbank bills of varions denominations, with which he davted from the baildine, the large iron plate being of cou aandoued in the bank. The noise of the breaking s nateraily attracted the atten- tion of rhe bank oficials and employes, gud @ vigorous: pursuit was a’ once instituted, The thief ran out of the Ann si a nce of the bank, and aiter a rrested m Maiden lane. n the prisoner was arraigned before Justice Dowling at the Tombs yesterday, Mr. William K, Kitchen. president of the bank, appeared as cot. vig chase he w: ro. nant, aud set forth the main facts of the cuse in atidavit. ‘ir, Mark Chipman aiso testified that he is the money clerk in the bank, and that at the time ef half-past nine o'clock he saw the prisoner come into the b ak and approach the desk, where he Wes envaged in counting money; that as soon as Pinton gov to the counter he broke the glass piaie in front of the department above the connter and in the railing by puching against the glass the iron instrament exhibited in the court room, and that he then seized the package of money already described, having left the rron plate in the bank belinc him. John T. Whitehead testified that he is assistant bookkeeper at the National Park Bank, and that he saw the prisoner break the glass plate (deseribed by. the previous wiiness) with a large iron plate and grab a package of bank notes, Fawin UL. Bonny testatied that he is cheek clerk in the Park Bank, and that as he was attending to bis duties he heard the crash of breaking glass, and that he looked toward the direction of the noise and saw the prisoner in the act of grabbing a package of bank notes from the counter of the money depart- ment, having put his hand through the aperture made by the breaking in of the glass plate In front of said desk; 9s soon as the prisoner got possession of the package he ran out of the bank throngh the Ann street entrance; deponeut instantly ieft his work and ran after Pinton down Ann street to Nassau, through, Nassatt to Fulton, through Dutch to No. 9, when he saw the prisoner drop a package of money, which was picked np; Pinton continued his flight through Dutch street and Join street to Gold street to Maiden lane, where he stopped and stood near the pillar of a store in Maiden lane, opposite Gold; witneas went up and stood near the prisoner until ofMicer Kohler, who was also purauing the thief. came bY and arrested him; the witness did not lose sight of the prisoner fgom tae time he saw bim grab the money in the ba@k up to the time he was arrested; that he is positive of, and cannot be mistaken tuat the prisouer was the man who committed the rob- bery.

Years roll by, great men die and are forgotten, but the memory of Rebert Burns will ever be fresh in the hearts of his patriotic countrymen. Burns was no exception to the many gifted men who went before him, for he had away from earth ere his works were hatled with that appreciation which the world has since testified they deserved. The name of Burns is @ ved on the heart of every Scotchman, as indeed it is treasured by every one who admires @ genius upon whom nature lavished her favors with no niggardiy hand. His brilliant effusions, emanating as they did from a truly s sow, will pn Bee 8 time pee om wit a4 tering speed his grand legacy—and what cou more to the inteliectual mind than his ling ont be bequeathed from genera- ion to His memory will ever be affec- pobre cerely than in this and nowhere, perhaps. more sin- city. Happy reunions will be held to-morrow night, and doubtl nature’s poet will receive the fitting tributes due to his imperishable name. A thoy banquet will take place at the Metro- politan Hotel, where the Committee of Arrai fuente, including the setting of tabiew to. sult guests, uding fu coteries accord to their number.

FINE CITY RESIDENCES. Fine Hoases and Wealthy Owners—Crose Streets vs, Avenues. ‘The elegance and costiiness of the dwellings of the wealthy inhabituots of any city may usually be taken a a fair index of its wealth, In alllarge cities a certain portion seems to have been set apart for the residences of the “apper ten,” and wherever ‘this class 1s more than usually well-to-do more than ordinarily handsome houses are to be found. New York does not differ from other places in this respect ; for in the Empire City as mapy, if not more, hand- some dwellings can be found than in any city of equal size in the Old World. Deseriptions of Fifth ave- nue, Madison avenue and Lexington avenue—the three Most fashionable avenues of Gotham—have already ‘appeared in the columns of the HERALD, but these thoroughfares do not by any means contain all the fine hoases, nor does all ihe wealthy portion of the Population dwell upon them, Between Twenty-third street and Forticth street, upon the cross streets, may be found a large number.of noble mansions, in- habited by well known prominent citizens, In this article it will be impossible to traverse the whole of this distance, or even to mention all the elegant houses between Twenty-third street and Thirty-fifth Sureet, but some of the principal among them will be noticed, The most fashionable portion of these streets, a8 is well known, lies between Sixth and Madison avenues, between which limits both sides of the various thoroughfares are full of finedwell- ings.

MILITARY NOTES. The War Department has acknow!edged the jus- thee of our plea for the trans‘er of the Fifth United States artillery. In yesterday's issue we published orders from Washington ordering the headquarters of the Fifth from Dry Tortugas to Fort Adams, New- port, R. I., and the distribution of the several com- panies and batteries of the regiment among the forts of the Northern coast. Now that the Military Association has adjourned it is proper to ask wuat 1s or was it all about? There- was certainly two days’ “deliberation’’ at Stemway Hall, but whether the association assembled for the purpose of settling points of order and proposing amendments to the constitution it is impossible to Say. Sureiy an intelligent body of miitary men would not assemble for such trivial purposes, yet the record of the proceedings show that the session of the association waa not productive of a particle of benefit to the National Guard. The Military Association, having raised the expec- tation of certain regiments by offering a guidon—for which it had not money to pay—to the best drilled corps m the First aud Second divisions, should have either withdrawn its premium or have raised the necessary money. The dileged impossibility of de- termining which reghnent was the best drilled ts linphy fudge. Could not the Inspectors General of Division wake ins] jon and report to their com- manding officer? If the First and Second division have not an officer capaole of performing that duty it is time they haa, . A committee of the Washington Grey cavairy, headed by Major E. H. Kent, the commandant oi the battalion, has Issned a cordial invitation to the ex- members of the Greys to meet at the headquarters, corner of Houston and Greene streets, on reday evening, the 28th inat., for the purpose of forming a veteran corps in connection with the present organi- zation. The meeting will, no-doubt, be largely at- tended, General Burger, commanding the Second brigade of infantry, was honored by a full dress parade of the First regiment of artillery at the State Arsenal on ‘Thursday evening last.

It may not be generally known that the smallpox ina very malignant form has been raging for several months past in the city of San Francisco. The ept- demic has extended toa greater or less extent to nearly every part of California, and in the adjoining State of Nevada. In gome localities—for instance, in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties—the population has been actually decimated, and in consequence @ fecling of uneasiness obtains that disturbs to its very foundations. The victims to the te: malady in San Francisco can be counted by huo- dreds, and 1t develops {telf m such a horrible aspect that the nearest of kin fy from the bedside of the patient. Interments take place during night, and the minds of the living are continually filled with apprehension. In a great city ike New York, where so many ab- sorbing questions are ever amsing, attention can be hardly withdrawn to consider matters relatung to sanitary questions in a distant part of the republic. In San Francisco (and we speak on the best and most reliable authority) yellow flags are to be seen on every street, and the heartless and rude work of the undertaker (for in cases of smallpox the work is rudely performed) ts constantly in progress, ion The city authorities ado) hate f ic. At frst it was de- ether check the 8] of the termined to convey all persons afflicted, wh rich or poor, to a pest house, and for a time the sys- tem was carried out. The very name of pest house caused fright to the community, and it was changed to that of ital. A number of ladies, known as Sisters of Mercy, volunteered their services as nurses, which were ole accepted and measures adopted to place infected localities under @ species of quar- antine. The epidemne still increased, and it would appear that during the last month the deaths in San Francisco were over five hundred, the population of the city betng only one hundred and th! thousand. Tnia is % most unusual mortality, and its extent is entirely by smallpox, [tts well understood that no city in the world is favored with 9 more sa- lubrious climate than the metropolis of the Pacific. Among the first steps taken by the San Francisco authorities was that of affording an opportunity to all of being vaccinated, and they subsequently made vaccination compulsory. hysicians were employed for this pu! and the disease still spread, Leas than a month since ft was found that fnoculation was no safeguard, and the concluston arrived at was that the vacciae matter used was of No value, or qt Jeast that jt had not the qualities it Possessed in other count 4 Cannot our physicians in New York send to the Pacific coast vaccine matter, 4o as to arrest the terrible malady and earn for themselves the grati- tude of the people?
