BOLD ROBBERY IN NEW YORK.
Arrest Of the Thief md Recovery OF the
Money.

The boldest robbery every committed in New
York took place ct tho PARK Bank, on Broad
way, at half-past nine o'clock on Saturday
morning. Two or three men entered the bank
while the clerks we're preparing for tho busi-
ness Of the day, and without attracting atten,
ton passed to the rear. One Of the clerks had
taken large amount Of money out Of the safe,
and piled it up on his table. 1t was done up
IN bundles Of various amounts. Some OF these
bundles rested against the large plate glass
fronting the desk, which it was supposed
would ba adequate protection against thieves.
The iapitor was in the front OF the building
with the cashier, and the clerks were aI ~. at
tending to their duties behind the railing.
when suddenly loud crash was heard. and
the breaking OF glass resounded through the
room. The startled clerks looked in the dlrec-
tion Of the noise, and saw young man reach
through the broken glass and take out roll OF
bills, with which he fled out OF the Ann-street
entrance. Mr.. Ryder and MIR. Barry, attaches
of the bank, and number Of other persons,
ouickIv started in pursuit. When Mr. Ryder
reached the street the thief had about hun
dred yards start, and was gong down Ann
street, toward Nassau. The cry OF "Stop
thief" was taken up, and large numbers joined
in the chase, The thief turned into Nassau,
and down Fulton-street Ryder gained steadl-
Iy ON HIM until he reached Dutch-s rect, when
lie slipped The money from under his arm and
let it fall to the ground, hoping thereby to stop
the pursuit. Mr.. RYDER did stop and pick up
the money, but Mr.. Barry kept on, aud in time
gained on the thief. Down Fulton, to Gold,
and through Gold to Maiden lane, the chase
continued, when the strength Of the thief gave

precinct, took him in charge. The thlef gave

From this detailit appears that the cost per
spindle with looms 10 $13 go, but safer cal
culation would be $14 per spindle.
For one hundred spindles without looms
would recommend one story building one
hundred feet long and fifty feet wide. II
looms are added, one hundred and forty feet
long and fifty feet wide. For two or three
thousand spindles, let the building be two or
three stories high, each story the same In Ca
pacity as above recommended. =,
As the cost Of labor and materials In dt-
ferent localities varies, I refrain from giving
any estimate Of the cost of building mill to
contain the above machinery: ANY one can
do this with the capacity and cost OF mate

labor and material, could be erected much
cheaper than one adapted TO our Northern
climate.
The return from cotton in well managed
mills is eighty-fve per cent, although many
return seVenty-fve per cent. A loom IN fair
operation will produce thirty-tWo yards per
day, running at one hundred and ten picks per
minute, and making cloth si1ty-four PICKS OF
threads Of weft per inch.
The Matteawan Company have sent ma
chinery to the South for large number OF
mills, and could probably furnish it as cheap

Southern company to start mill well, and IN
the shortest possible time, would be to engage
good practical manufacturer, and let MIN put
the mill in operation and furnish competent

has been adopted, and believe with success.

INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE CHINESE EMBASSY AND

INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE CHINESE EMBASSY ANI
THE FRENCH EMPEROR.
PARIS, January 2-The Chinese Embassy to-
day had an audience with the Emperor. They
proceeded to the Tuileries, where they were
received with the courtesies usually extended
to diplomatic representatives OF high rank, but
without military honors, and were ushered into
Tie presence of the Emperor. The latter was
accompanied by the Prince Imperial and by
Marquis de Lavallette. Mr. Burlingame, ad-
dressing the Emperor, said he hoped France
would receive China as sister. France had
hitherto enjoyed all the privileges accorded by
China to European powers. China now took
upon herself the duties OF civilization and in
ternational courtesy. The Emperor, in reply,
expressed his satisfaction OF seeing China take
such step, and said he would ho pleased to
cooperate with her representatives. He re-
ferred to the commercial advantages likely to
arise from closer relations, and concluded
with general congratulations. ALI the mem
bers f'the Embassy were pleased with their re-
ception. When the Marquis de Lavallette per-
sonally introduced Mr.. Buringame, the Empe-
ror expressed his astouishment at finding an
American acting as Ambassador of China, to
which MIR. Burlngame replied in happy man
ner. and long c--aArsation ensued between
the Emperor and the Ambassador. Messrs.
Brown and Deschampes, Secretaries OF
Legation, were then presented to the En-
peror, after which Mr. Brown formally
laid in the hands of the Minister OF War the
credentials of the ambassadors from the En-
ueror Of China. When this ceremony had been
performed the in terview terminated. The am
bassadors were subsequently received by the
Empress Eugenie, when MIR. BurGngame took
occasion to convey the fluctuations OF the En-
Aeror Of China to her Majesty and to the Inn
perial fsniily.
