wrists, ankles and thighs. He had bled several
quarts, but physician being called in, his wounds
were staunched and he may recover,
On recounting the money yesterday morning the
whole amount stolen was found in the several pack
ages Mr.. McKie was at the lower police Office at
an early hour yesterday morning, when Justice Par
ker very properly delivered the money into his
hands, takinga receipt therefor. Mr. McKe i'm
mediately counted out $4,000, gave $1,000 to ex-
officer Walker and the other 81 900 to ex-officer
Sweet. We heard that some third person had en-.
tered claim for portion of the reward, but pre-
sumo that such claim is without foundation.
The ex-officers who made the arrest searched the
room at 264 Washington street, which Daily had
occupied, yesterday, and found a. dark lantern and
variety of burglars tools on the premises. There
is no doubt that he is an old and experienced rogue,
and 1t is also probable that he has given his pro-
per name to the police. Mayor Harper would be
wise to reconsider the removal of these two efficient
ex-oicers, there isno doubt their re-appointment
would meet with general favor.

now open for the The principal edlhce
has been greatly enlarged and improved, and is
now one of the most delightful summer residences
in the Union. Theparlors are large, and furnished
in the most elegant manner, and the sleeping apart
ments are so cool, so comfortably fitted up, so
hushed and quiet, that the most distracted head
may here find undisturbed repose. The prospect
from the upper windows, moonlit night, is
lnexpressibly beautiful. The silvery bay-the bold
headlands of Staten Island, sleeping in the deep
shade-the tall and gently waving trees the high
bank which overhangs the beach--the dark and
| frowning batternents of the fort-the dim ocean,
nthe distance, stretching FAR way beyond the reach

with images of overpowering grandeur. cd ~ 9,
| Even in the mnutest details, the fine taste and
judgment of Mr. Reed are conspicuous. The out
buildings have been removed to considerable dis
lance, and no longer offend the eye from the bed
rooms looking inland. A back piazza will soon be
added and thus a cool and delightful promenade be
afforded when the sun is in front of the building
The fine garden affords delightful play ground for
the children, for whom and their nurses separate
dinner table has been provided, where every atten

great addition to the comfort of families frequent

Hamilton House. Along the bank of the river,
one to Bath and Coney Island, across to Flat-bush
in every direction the roads are in fine order and
very picturesque. Below the Fort, we must add,
preparation has been made for beautiful bathing
ground, equal to that at Rockaway, and far supe-
rior in point of air. health and comfort, az there
are no marshes or malaria in any direction.
| The house, we need hardly say, is managed in
the best possible manner, and the table loaded with
wines and delicaclss to touch every palate. In a
few days regular intercourse three or four times
daily will be established between the house and
the city by the steamboas-and to those who pre-
fer it, or may occasionally wish to take that route,
we may state that the drive to South Brook.
