BROADWAY THEATRE, At this favorite establishment Mr. John E. Owens’ per- ‘eonation of Joshua Butterby, in Tom Taylor’s comedy of Victims, is in delightful contrast to his Solon Shingle, and establishes, ina brilliant manner, his claim to be tanked among the most versatile comedians of the age. ‘The character is entirely dependent for its success upon ‘tho power of its representative, and its signal success ‘conveys the highest compliment to the humor and sur- passing delicacy which marks Mr. Oweus’ embodiment ‘of it. The comedy—which 1s now exclusively identified ‘with Mr. Owens’ fame in this country at least—has been ven at the Broadway for a week to cfowded audiences fevery night, and it would be difficult to conceive of heartier or more demonstrative merriment than its hero evokes, The culminating effect of the picco is the nidi- culous blunder by which the peace offering of Joshua 4Mr. Owens) to Minerva (Mrs. Hind) becomes changed from a silk dress to a pair of lavender colored *‘unmen- (eionables,"’ and the famous screen scene of The School for Scandal is scarcely productive of moro genuine ‘mirth than this capital situation never fails in exciting. The comedy is excellently presented in all its appoint. ‘ments, and is notably well played, especially in its load- dng characters. The Fitzherbert of Mr, Jobn K. Morti- ‘mer and Tom Owens’ Curdle are admirable porsonations, ‘Wictims will be given at this theatre, with Sr. Owens’ farce of Forty Winks, every night for some time to ‘Come, and at the regular matinee performance every Saturday.

STUPENDOUS ROBBERY. One Million and a Half Dollars in Bonds Stolen. MYSTERY OF THE ROBBERY. THE LOSS FALLS ON TWO INDIVIDUALS. Additional Particulars of the Affair. DESCRIPTION OF THE STOLEN BONDS. Two Hundred Thousand Dol- i lars Reward. THE RECENT GREAT ROBBERIES. INGENUITY OF BURGLARS. he. hee ae. In yesterday's Henatp we gave a brief account of the extensive robbery of one million and a half of dollars in government securities, which were abstracted from the safe of Mr, Rufus L. Lord, the well known capitalist real estate broker, and owner of the late Stock Exchange, whose office is located at No, 38 Exchange place, in this city. ‘The discovery of the robbery was made on last Thurs day morning, when Mr. Lord, on making an unusual inspection of the interior of his money safe, missed the two tin boxes containing the stolen bonds, At first he was perfectly nonplussed, and sat down in silence to deliberate on what measures to adopt to secure the stolen papers and the arrest of the thief or thieves. He was not long in arriving at a conclusion—namely, an imme- diate visit to the police headquarters in Mulberry street, and there inform the proper officer of his lov. The case was immediately placed in the hands of Captain John Young, chief of the detective force, who summoned a number of his most expert men to “work the case up.”” Mr. Lord’s statement was very briof, and he could give no information whereby the officers could get 4 clue, nor could he give the namo of a single person to whom he attached suspicion. Captain Young at once visited Mr. Lord's office. It is a very unpretentious one, on the street deor, aud near the Merchants’ Exchange. Its furnitare is of a very plain character, and certainly bore no indications of its being a place where #0 large a sum as the amount stolen would be deposited. The safe from which the bonds were taken is the ordinary old wall or bank safe, secured by a very simply constructed lock. Within this was another safe, in which valuable papers, such as stocks, bonds and railroad securities, were kept. ‘The lock of the inner safe has been out of order for some time, so that it could not be bolted. Captain Young made an examination of the safe, and was not Jong in arriving at the conclusion that it was rather # poor place to keep valuable papers, as apy unprofessional burglar or bank thief could open it without any extraordinary skill or effort, Mr. Lord is eighty years of age, aud it is said that of late he has been apparently somewhat carcless as to the safety of ‘The following is told by way of short time since ho took from his saf ery large quan- tity of government bonds, and then cut off the coupons, placing the latter in bis pockets and going home, leaving the pile of bonds lying loosely upon the table in his office. When be had gone the porter noticed the bonds lying there, and not knowing exactly what to do in the case, finally decided to put them im his handkerchief and take them bome to Mr, Lor¢, On banding the bundie te kimm, he (Mr. Lord) asked the porier Where he got them, and od Being told remarked quietly that he did not think he bade “St dope anything like that befure, It is also stated that ou tho Asys when thé interest on the stolen bonds was due he would {ake the tin boxes containing them, and, taking « seat in BXé ofice, near the street window, there occupy the greater part o¢ the day in cutting of the coupons. When the detectives requésied Mr. Lord to furnivh the nambers and description of the stolen property he could not give them, and it was only by the persoval exertions of Captain Young that the list embodied in this report was obtained. He did this by visiting the office of the Su Treasury aud there examin. ing the coupons ou which Mr. Lord procured the interest om the last payment day. It is further stated that Mr. Lord has been repeatedly known to leave his safe un- locked when going home, that ou a recent occasion he did so, when it was carefully locked by the junitor of the building, who returned him the key on the following morning, that ou snother occasion the janitor found the safe key in the wash hand basin. On the morning of the discovery of the robbery, however, this was not the case, a8 the outer door of the safe was locked, and th key was in Mr. Lord's pocket The first theory of the detectives was that some person who was sequuinted with Mr, Lord's habits of going in and out of his office during business hours got an impression of the safe key from which a duplicate was made; but subsequent events have dixpetied this Of the one million and a half dollars worth of bonds stolen over one million was the property of Mr. Lord, and the balance belonged to a friend of his, whose name has not transpired. It was in Mr. Lord's office not for business parpaes, but merely for safe keeping There iv one fact connected with this fobbery from which it may be inferred that the wae committed with haste. On « shelf the safe, over the one (rom which the tin boxes were taken, were upwards of one million of dollars worth of various American railroad securities. Mr. Lord cannot positively state when he last saw the bonds There ix, therefore, » possibility that it Might have been a day or two before the robbery, and as the bonds were negotiable probably ere this the thief has reaped the benefit of this etupendour piece of rascal ity. The following is ® list of the stolen property Bro. kere, bankers and dealers in government and other secu rities are requested, if any of these bonds are offered to them for sale, to notify, in person or by telegraph, John A.
