THR BURGLAR'S LECTURE. [From the London Timea, Feb. Time, which brings all things to light Fevenled the aecreta of very strange iB just twelve months since a most extreordisary Cornhill alarmed our metropolitan tradesmer property. A jewellor’s shop, though protect ‘was thought a secure was ind on a tents, The thei what 23 motown ust sapeaied,, Mr. Netter, ine jereter who lered, brought an actior manafac- turers who supplied dum with his safe, and one of the niceties of iron work, bbery had been elaborately schemed, and was oniy accomplished by a regular expedition of well egal thieves, The cleverest of the gang had taken . Walker, his family, his habits and his doings under the closest ‘surveillance for seven weeks before, night and day, until at last everything connected with his go- ing and coming, his business and his practice, was thor- oughly known, ‘This information being complete, a party of five of the robbers repaired to the premises at en minutes past six, on the evening of Saturday, the 4th of February, 1865.” The house was let and occupied in floors, Mr, Walker’s shop being on the ground floor, Sir Churles Crosley’s offices immediately above, and ot oitices above Urese, while below Mr, Walker's shop was a room tenanted by a tailor, The occupants, when the thieves arrived on the spot, had not yet all’ left for the but the offices on the second floor were empty, and to those three of the robbers at once ascended by meaus of the common staircase, and there took up their first position, the other two remaining in the street, to watch aud give signals,. At twenty minutes to eght the signal was given by the confederates outside that Mr, Walker's foreman, who appears to have been the last on the premises, was gone, and their operations were at once commenced, The three robbers concealed in the house first went down to Sir Charles Crosloy’s floor, where, more for pas- ms, thay anything else, they opened the sae, f object of the expedition was still postponed, nor was it until past midnight that they began the work. Mr. Walker's shop appears to. haye been secured by iron doors or partitions, but the thieves directed "their atuack against a part which had not unnaturslly been left with less protection. They got into the tailor’s room on the lowest floory mounted “upon his cutting board, and thon forced thoir way througt: the ceiling and flooring into Mr, Walker's shop above. Having thus effected alodgment against the real foint of attack, they distributed the duties of the night. Of the two thievgs stationed in the street one was to be on the Watch lest Mr. Walker or any of his people should return to the house, while the otlier was to keep guard over the police, and give warning whenever any constable ap- roached the shop, Inside, one of the gang sut upstairs, in Sir Charles Crostey’s arm chair, at_ the window of the second floor, to correspond with the gentries in the street, and the signals of these men he communicated by means of 4 string to his comrades below. One of these, placed in the hole half-way between the shop and the tailor’s room, handed up such instruments as were wanted for use, the other did the work,”” and it is he, how a convict undergoing his sentenc ec] Yi tude, who tells the tory FN aR Hl ice ia he first proceeding of the operators wi ba ‘a safe in which the booty wats necered: ead thin PAsetmners was condueted by the insertion of a thin wedge of steel into the almost imperceptible chink left between the door of the safe and its side.

With the end of the ‘alder- gan” {ulvly introduced, and the arm of a strong man noting on the other extremity of the lever, the safe has no longer any chance; and so it was on this occasion. ‘The door was pryed open by the force of this powerful fover, and the booty was won. Ata quarter befors four on Sunday afternoon the thieves were “up in Sir Charles Crosley’s otfice, washing their ba: and by twenty minutes to fiye they werg “‘iiles away” on the Guild- ford road, * ,° ees According to this candid focture on burglary,.the stresvth of asafe must consist in its power to defy ine introduction of the long lever, Once the lever tn, ac- cording to Mr, Caseley’s explanation, uo sale can resist. Indeed, one of the independent witnesses stated that with any safe, however strong, it was only a question of time; but this view of the case should be compared with the cbnviet’s description of the matter, He said that in his profession certain means of opening safes are consid- ered ‘ lawful” and certain others “unlawful.” “Law. ful’* operations were those which could be conducted without noise or alarm, as by wedges and ‘aldermen ;”’ the “unlawfal”? were ‘those attended with noise, and likely to bring about detection. No doubt any safe ever constructed might be forced open if time were no object and secrecy of no importance, but happily for honest peopte, thes? are not often the: conditions of a burgiar. We remarked at the time of the robbery that the one thing which rendered it practicable was the desertion of the promises for six and thirty hours ther, and that proves to have been the fact. The thieves did not get into Mr. Walker's shop, with the safe before them, till five minutes before three on the Sun- day afternoon; that ss, not tit one and twenty hours after the commencemeft of their operations, and oven thon they had got the chief part of their work to doin forcing the sale, The cohviot admitted that the safe yielded sooner than 1 anticipated; indeed, it was pended in about thirty-five minutes; bat the long in- terval between Saturday evening and Monday morning left them with ample time to spare. In the twelve hours of asingle night the work could not have been done. : he real seeurity given by these safes to the pubilic consists in this, that they render robbery imposeible, ex- cept under conditions not commonly realized.

Miss Helen Western is at the Opera House, Pittsburg, Pa, playing to crowded audiences. New City Improvements, THE FOURTEENTH STREET NEW OPERA HOUSE. ‘The new theatre and opera house about to be con- structed in Thirteenth fand Fourteenth streets will be under way in a very short time, The property on which Dunham's firearm manufactory stands, running back to Fourteenth street, is the mte selected. This property has been purchased for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. On Thirteenth street it has one hundred and seventy fect frontage, with a depth to Fourteenth street of one hundred feet. The entrance on Fourteenth street ‘will be twenty-five feet wide and almost directly opposite to Irving place. There will be three doors of exit on Thirteenth street. The plane and specifications are in course of preparation. On the Ist of May the operations of building will commence, and the house will probably be ready by the Ist of November. The company undertaking this enterprise numbers only twenty gentlemen, so that there will be no army of stockholders to eat up the manager's proits and take the best seats from the public. Among those who are interested are Wm. Steinway, Lafayette Harrivon of Trving Hall, H. 1. Bateman and others, We beheve that arrangements are in progress to secure @ superior dramatic company, compored of the pick and choice of all the dramatic corps in the metropolis, This now theatre willbe a great addition to the resources of the city in the way of amusements, and will entirely super. sede the catacombs on the other side of the strect, THE NEW STRINWAY MUSIC Hatt, the ground for which is being rapidly cleared, and which ‘will be completed and ready for opening on the Ist of September, will occupy the entire space of ground in the rear of the magnificent marble store of Mesers.

No balls will be permitted to take place in it—in fact, they will be precluded by the seats being permanently fixed to the flooring—nor will any objectionable assemblies be allow- ed. The hall is computed to cost $90,000, exclusive of the ground and the new grand organ, tho Messrs, Stoin- way having determined to spare neither pains nor ex- pense in its construction, Artists are now busily en- gaged in making designs for the frescoes and other deco- rations, which will be of the most chaste and classically elegant description.
