THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 28.1866 CITY BULLETIN. THE BAYARD ROBBERY. BBCOVEHV OF HOST OF THE STOLEN PBOPsarr. ; The bold robbeiy committed yesterday at the office of Mr. C. P, Bayard, No. 209 Chestnut street, waß the chief topic of dis cussion among bankers, brokers and others, during yesterday afternoon and this morn ing. Circulars, containg descriptions and numbers of tbe bonds and securities in the box were sent around' yesterday afternoon, and it was not likely that any of the stolen property conld be negotiated. . ; Tbis morning the box was returned to Mr. Bayard by a Mrs. Hens, who keeps a lager be»r saloon at No. 405 Callowhill street. In tbe rear of the houße of Mrs. Hens, there is an alley running in from York avenue. This alley way is not mnoh used. Tbis morning the sister of Mrs. Hens and a servant were about leaving the house, and. discovered a tin box in the alley. It was locked and had the key in the look. The box was taken into the honse, and Mrs. Hens at first supposed that it belonged to some peddler whom the police were after, and who had deposited it in the alley for safety, i Mrs. Hens read an account of the robbery of Mr. Bayard in the papers, and then thought that the box might do the stolen one. She proceeded to Mr. Bayard’s place, and that gentleman immediately identified the box as the one which had been ab stracted yesterday. . An examination of the box was made and it was found to contain nearly all tbe secu rities which wore in it yesterday. Only a few government bonds are missing. About $3,000.; in bonds which conld have been negotiated with little or no difficulty, were overlooked by the thieves, and were left in tbe box. ; There is yet no cine to the rasoals who committed this bold and adroit robbery. I Professor Blot’s Lectures. —As was to be expected, after the heavy gale last bight, Professor Blot come ont this morning with increased effect, as was manifested by a considerable accession to bis class, at bis second lecture. The programme for to day’s lecture was as follows: Boned Turkey, Z6phlrs, Fish d la vinaigrette, Croque en bouche, Beef a la mode, Steaks broiled, M&ringues. The of preparing a boned turkey, commenced at yesterday’s lecture, was completed in beantifol style, and judging from the intelligent questions and the attentive interest of the fair audi ence, it may be assumed that tbis “capital operation”'in gastronomy will be repeated during the coming week in many a private kitchen, where such an attempt would have been scouted at, bet yesterday, as ridiculous in tbe extreme. The remainder of to-day’s programme was gone through with the same careful particularity which marked yesterday’s lecture, the constant variety of the instructions kept up the interest of the -audience without the slightest appearance of restlessness or fatigue. The announcement of the fifth article of the programme, Ztphirs, was apparently received by the fair audience as a subtle joke of Professor Blot’s, and a peep into the private note-books would probably reveal the fact that point was not lost upon the quick wits of the lively class. The lectures of tbe course will be resumed on the 3d of January, and proceed daily, until com pleted. Fire in a Tenement House—Narrow Escape op a Child.— This morning, about half-past eight o’olock, a fire was discovered in a three-storied brick honse, in Quigg’s court, on Quarry street, below Third, occu pied by Aug net Dufner, a shoemaker. The third siory was rented to a Mrs. Kauffman, who goes ont to do work. Tbis morning she went out as nsual, and left a little boy six years of sage, locked up in the room. There was a-hot stove in the apartment.and it was pretty well surrounded by inflam mable material. Mr. Dufner heard screams from the child, and rnshed up to the room. He burst open the door, and found the loft in flames. The alarm was given, and the firemen were soon on the ground. Be fore the fire was extinguished, the roof was burned off, and the roofs of two adjoining similar buildings were badly damaged: All three buildings were flooded with water. There was a family living on every floor, and the household effects of all were pretty well ruined. Women and children were obliged to get into tbe street as quick as possible, and they bad to seek shelter from tbe cold in houses in the neighborhood. The structures damaged are owned by Messrs. W. D. and E. H. Frishmuth, and are insured'in the Fire Association. It wilL be seen by an advertisement in another column, that the leases of the Dock street wharf and Bonth street wharf, Dela ware, and Arch street wharf, Sahuylkill, will be disposed of at public sale, ou Mon day, Dec. 31st, at 12 o’clock, noon, at the Philadelphia Exchange, by M.

Petition Against Curtailing the Currency.-—Petitions are circulating throughout the country for signatures pray ing Congress to refrain from the passage of any act authorizing the curtailment of the National currency, or having in view the return within a limited time to specie pay ments. This movement, it is known, is in opposition to the policy of Secretary Mo- Cnlloob, who maintained that the country wants more labor instead of more currency. The Secretary has returned to Washington to-day from a visit to Western Virginia. He has given up the intention to proceed North, not having any business to call him thither at present Aged Suicides.—Three persons, the youngest of whom was fifty-seven years of age, destroyed themselves in the west of England during one: week in November. Two of these events occurred in ■ Cornwall, where one James Shakerley, fifty-seven years old, hung himself on tbe farm pre mises of his brother-in-law, and where a wo man named Hill, aged fifty-nine, of Bodin nieb, threw herself into the river Fowey. Both had for some time been in a despond ing condition; so, also, had a widow, in good circumstances, named Bastin, aged sixty, who hung herself: at her farm-house near Rockear, South Devon.
