ROBBERs.-Some days since the country residence
of Robert F. Morris, Esq, on the Mechanicsville
pike, about four or five miles from the city, was
robbed, during the presence OF the owner in this
city, of large amount of China table setts of the
finest quality, ladies, children and gentemen,s
clothing and other articles, valued altogether at
three or four thousand dollars. Suspicion rested
upon the colored domestics, of whom there were
thirty or forty on the place, and tmplaint being
made to General r. NJ. Patrick, Provost Marshal
General, he caused the arrest of all the suspected
parties, and some of the stolen property was found
in the quarters The investigation is still progress
sing with an energy that shows that the military
authorities anxious to investigate every charge
brought by citizens against marauders and thieves,
and render Justice to all.

WAYS STAR COMBINATION TROrPF, at Metro
politan Hall, is afording the citizens Of Richmond
an insight into the advancement made in the excel
lence and character Of light theatricas, and bur-
lcsque performances since the shut them ont
from all genuine exhibitions four years ago. The
stale Jokes and inspid oft repeated ''gags" that
have bored their ears and senses through the
blockade period, are replaced by genuine delinca-
tons Of negro character, clothed in language that is
at least new, and sensible, and stage tricks and
droleres that are entertaining and never repeated
too often. The troupe is large one, Of such varied
talent that q succession Of novelties are presented
in one night greater than those presented heretofore
in a week. Wray's aleght-of-hand feat of the six
watches and electric chair; the Hindo sports of
Nick Grist the juggler; the songs and dances by
the beautiful ballet corps, are among the most con-
spicuous but by no means the principal attractions
OF Il entertainment.
The Hall has been reftted expressly for the per-
formance of this Company, and is comfortable in
every respect A guard is stationed at the Hal
every evening for the preservation Of order, and
ladies and children can attend with the most per-
feet safety. Prof. Loebman, of Richmond, and lat e
of the Richmond Theatre, is the musical director,
and his orchestral performance adds greatly to
the enioyabeness Of the entertainments.

Nor WELcoxE.-We see by our Baltimore ex-
changes that the paroled Marylanders of Lees
army, who are crowding to their homes in such
hurry, are not met with open arms by the au-
thorties, if they are by their friends. They are
picked up by scores, mostly for a failure to report
themselves promptly on arrival, others for coming
into the State without authority and in the face
of resolutions of the City Council of Baltimore,
and resolutions adopted at meetings of citizens in
the several cour ties of the State. Among those
apprehended we notice the names of George w.
Clotworthy and Lloyd s. Holiday, paroled pr-
