BROADWAY THEATER.

Last evening series of singularly beautiful tsbeaux
were presented at the Broadway Theser by Professor
Keller and troupe Of arstes under his direction, who
have acquired European fame. We can entirely
vouch for the correctness Of the statements in the bill
and indorse the description that such Of the tabesux
as touch upon scrpurs subjects are bat living EN-.
"bodients of the master pieces Of ant The subjects
are chosen simply with view of portraying in ami
mated ststuary the glorious works Of genius in paint
ing and statuary and do not deserve to be blended
certainly with any other style of producing such
effects.
At the close of the tabesu Of the Queen Of Flow
err, the Goddess Of those beautiful realms appeared
with an arrnful Of treasures, and with the assist
snee Of Prof Keller scattered them in rich profunon
through the house. There could not have been lees
than a 800 worth of bouquets shcwered into the
upper and lower regions of the house, and We fancy
few Of the fsirer portion Of the audience departed
without fragrant "Reminiscences Of tho night. The

ing tie reasons which governed the actions OF the
Board
Mr.. INVERSION reviewed the action OF the Board
eympathzing with the unfortunate victims of that eX
traOdnaiy tribunal. he could find no better parallel

Buckingham"
Mr.. INERSON said that at a meeting of the Naval
Boatd one OF them submitted resolution providing
that the 81 ssons of the Board should be held openly,
but it was voted down by large majOrit y-thus show
ing that the Board acted like band of secret con-
SpraOrs; in some respects than the Spanish In
quisitor-for that heard the accused in his own de-
fense but this Board struck without hearing.
Mr.. SLIDELL opposed the pending resolutions, and
defended the action of the Board.
M. BUTLER objected to the legal character Of the
Board aud sand it bis conviction that they had not
coLfoned to the law under which they organized.
Mr. CLAYTON denied that any injustice had been
done officers by removing or disrating them without

the Executive.
Mr.. CRITTENDEN said that the law contemplated
rules and regulations by which officers OF the navy
should have that justice which was not accorded to

The General Appropriation bills made the
special order and after the 18th of Aprlexcepting
Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Mr.. CAMPBELL Ohio from the Committee of
Ways and Means to which had been referred bill
for the suppression of Indian HOsttes in Oregon and
Washington, reported substitute appropnatlng
$500 900, to be expended under the direction OF the
President for restoring aud maintaining the peacabe
disposition of the Indian tribes the Pacific Coast,
ana sl2O 900 to purchase gunpOwder. Mr. c. said the
original bill contemplated rather warlike movement,
but the Committee thought it would be better to
port looking to peace on the frontiers, as
recommended by the Secretary Of War.
Mr.. ALLISON, while not disposed to throw any i'm
pedmen in the way of the passage of the BILL was OF
the opinion that the charge made by Gen. Wool
charge was that Gen. Curry, by calling out men, pur
chasing horses &C.. was involving the Treasury in aa
expense of from two to four millions.
MIR. CAMPBELL PENN was in favor of voting the
money forthwith, and holding the Administration to
account hereafter.
MIR. READY said it was sufficient for him to know
that hostties exist, to justify an appropriation for
their suppression.
Mr. LANE Oregon proceeded to show that the war
commenced against the Indians not nstgated by
the white settlers, whom he eulOgised rs orderly,
pesceabe and gallant. The day has passed when Gen.
Wool can chastse the Indians of those Territories.
Mr.. ANDERSON washington Territory insisted
the necessity of the appropriation. 1t was not tot
cut military expeditions OF to pay one dollar for the
expenses Of war but to preserve peace by supporting
friendly Indians their reserves and preventing them
from Joining hostile tribes.
MIR. ZOLLICOFFER, in referring to the conflicting
statements about the affairs of Oregon and Washing
ton, said he thought an investigation was necessary
before voting money.
Mr. PHELPS advocated immediate action on the

DARING ROBBERY AT Rock IsLAsD.-One Of tho
most daring robberies ever attempted was accom-
plished at Cook Sargent Parkers Bank in this city
at noon Yesterday. While Mr. Parker one OF tho pro-
preters and Mr. Heath the book keeper, were absest
at dinner the only person left in the Bank was john
Thorington, the Cashier, when two persons entered
the Bank of them going up to the counter where
deposits made the other went around the end
of the counter and calling MIR. t. aside asked
him if he knew person by the name of Greene Mr..
T. answered and turning round to go to the counter
10 wait upon the other was struck on the head
with a sluDg shot, and seized by the throat with
grasp that b. could not in his stunned condition, shake
off. The other man jumped over the counter and
helped himself to what gold he could carry and clam
bered back while his comrade still held Mr.. T. by tho
throat. They then departed, probably thinking Mr..
Ihoringon was dead, he was black In the face and
unable to move, one saying TO the other, Don't bur
ry, walk slow" All this the work Of not over two
minutes time at broad noon, and on the most public
street and block in the city. When Mr.. Thonngtos
recovered sufficiently to be able to crawl to the door.
be opened it and attracted the attention Of some per-
Son, though unable to speak, and fell back upon tho
floor The news few over the town like wild-hre, and
great crowd of persons assembled and sent out par
ties in pursuit in every direction.
A reward Of $500 was offered, half by the Mayor
and half by Mr. Parker for the apprehension Of tho
men. Az soon as Mr.. Thorngton covered sufficiently
10 enable him to speak, he descrne them a. follows:
One large man, with heavy sandy whiskers black
overcoat, gold fob chain and wool hat. Tho other .
slim man, black hair, whiskers, black clothes black
plOeskin hat.
The struggle with Thorington must have been des-
perate one and it not for the firm grasp upon h1
throat be could have prevented the robbery Piles Of
gold, papers, portfolios and broken inkstands strewed
the floor attestsd the ferceness Of the fight Mr..
T. is severely though not dangerously injured, hs
throat being badly and bis head considerably bruised.
II s supposed the robbers obtained between $4,000
and $4,000. They are still at large. Daily Argus.
