THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8,185 s POLICE INTEIIIGENCE.—(This Day.; MANSION-HOUSE. BORROWING WITHOUT LEAVE.—Eliza► Burrows was brought before the court in petty session, charged with stealing a silk dress, two mantles, and some other articles of wearing apparel, value 31., the property of Miss Elizabeth Wheeler, Sun-street, Finsbury-square. From the evidence of the prosecutrix, it appeared that about 10 o'clock in the morning she quitted her room, the first floor back, to go down into the kitchen, not being absent more than five minutes, and upon her return found the prisoner, who was an entire stranger to her, busily engaged emptying her drawers, from which she bad taken a variety of things, some of which she had packed up ready for removal. Upon being asked what she wanted there, she said it was all a mistake, as she fancied the room belonged to somebody else, who was a friend of here, from whom she was about to borrow the things for a little while. Upon being given into custody, however, she admitted that she intended to steal them, pleading poverty as an excuse, and begging to be permitted to go. She gave an address to the officer where she said her brother lived, but upon inquiry he found the man re ferred to was not her brother, but one with whom she cohabited. 0a searching her a large bunch of door keys were found upon her, which had no doubt been used to open doors for the purposes of robbery, as numerous depredations bad recently been committed in the same locality. At her lodgings wore also found 31 pawnbrokers' duplicates, and a letter from her hus band, dated from Culdbath-fields, where he was then suffering a twelvemonth's imprisonment. The aa au with whom she live d , moreover, w a s considered honest and industrious. She was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour, an announcement which produced a violent hysterical shriek. WESTMINS TER. DISGRACEFUL ROBBERIES BY A GRENADIER. — CharIes Crew, one of the Grenadier Guards, was placed at the bar, charged with the commission of the following disgraceful felonies : Aaron Cooke Bourne, journeyman in the service of Mr. Berry, of 12, Stafford-row, Pimlico, said that last evening, about half-past six, the prisoner came into the shop, and pointing to a particular watch in the window, requested to be shown it. It was put before him, and after ex ►mining it he requested to be shown others more valuable. Having got one value 3/. 103. in his hand, he said, " Let me sea the one you first showed me,' and while witness tamed round to get it the accused darted off with the one he held in his hand. He was instantly pursued, and ultimately secured. Adam Munfatroyd, an undertaker, living in Stafford row, said he pursued prisoner for a great distance, and took him with the watch in his hand. Mr. Frederick Berry, son of the owner of the watch, proved that prisoner had committed another robbery of a like description at his shop in Parliament-street, so well known in connection with the lamentable occur rence which took place there a short time ago. He said that on Wednesday night the prisoner came in and desired to be shown some watches; when, taking witness off his guard, he darted out of the shop with a watch. Witness lost sight of him directly. When prisoner was taken to the station upon the other charge, witness im mediately recognised him. A third case from a pawnbroker's at the east end of the town showed that prisoner had committed a robbery there under precisely similar circumstances. the prisoner was remanded till Thursday. MARKET NEWS.—(Thfs Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was limited; consequently, the show of samples small. For most kinds we had a steady but by no means active demand, and Monday's advance in the quotations was well supported. Nearly 12,090 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand this week. Good heavy samples ruled steady, at full prices, but inferior qualities were neglected. There was a fair demand for both barley and malt, and pri 'es were well supported. The show of oats was limited. Most kinds ware in re quest, and the turn dearer. In beans and peas very little was passing, on former terms. _ _ _ We had a fair demand for flour, and Norfolk qualities were rather higher than on Monday. ARRIVALS MIS WERE. Wheat. Barley.

NEWPORT, JAN. 6. Since the report which appeared in this journal on Monday last, an improved feeling has appeared through out the iron districts of Monmouthshire and Glamor ganshire, in which the recent strikes took place. The large body of men who turned out at Aberdare—be tween seven and eight thousand—have come to the end of their means, and though a.portion of them attempted to support themselves by begging, by far the greater manifested a disposition to return to work at the reduc tion, which amounts in the total to five per cent. more than in the neighbouring county. Threats of the most violent cbaracter were used to prevent them adopting this course—placards in Welsh were distributed at the houses of those who were suspected "turncoats," inti mating that their blood would be taken, and their houses destroyed. Towards the close of last week, however, several thousands returned to their pits and furnaces, and although a portion still hold out, the strike is comparatively at an end. Many of the furnaces cannot be relit and the attendant pits placed in a condition to work in less than six months, some not even in that. On• fuinace had never been extinguished previous to this strike since it was erected, and the cost of relighting it will be considerable. Many of the pits have been seriously injured by water, owing to the intimidation used towards the engineers by the colliers at the com mencement of the strike. Hardly a single furnace throughout the valley was at work, and trade was en tirely suspended. The loss occasioned to the masters j by all this is of course considerable, but with an im pi ovement in the demand for iron it may he hoped tha this will be regained in a few months, and it is certain that the district cannot permanently suffer; In Monmouthshire, also, I am happy to report more favourably than at the close of last week. The Pontypool men now alone remain out, and on inquiry in the neighbourhood to-day, we learn that they are ready to resume work when the furnaces, which have been extinguished, are relit. While the colliers and furnacemen at Abersyoban, Golynos, and Varteg were on strike great encouragement was afforded to all the others in the county, but now that they have accepted the reduction—aementing iu the whole to 20 per cent.—it is hardly possible for these at Pontypool to refuse it. A deputation has accordingly waited upon Mr. Phillips, the manager, offering to come to terms, and they were told that a decisive reply would be returned in a few days. It is said that about 150 have gone away to Risca, where work has been offered them, In a short time, therefore, we may fairly presume that a series of strikes which have already proved unfor tunate to all parties, and which promised to exercise a disastrous influence over the trade of the district, will be terminated. DINNA YE HEAR IT 7 DINNA YE HEAR IT ( Written on a touching incident in Ilavelock's Relief of Lucknow.) 'Mid the khunder of battle, the groans of the dying, The wail of weak women, the shouts of brave men, A poor Highland maiden sat sobbing and sighing, As she longed for the peace of her dear native glen. But there came a glad voice to the ear of her heart, The foes of auld Scotland for ever will fear it " We are saved ! we are saved !" cried the brave Highland maid, "'Tis the Highlanders' slogan ! 0 dinna ye hear it ?" Chorus—Dinna ye hear it ? dinna ye hear it ? High o'er the battle's din, dinna ye hear it? High o'er the battle's din, hail it and cheer it ! " 'Tis the Highlanders' slogan ! 0 dinna ye hear it ?' A moment the tempest of battle was hushed, But no tidings of help did that moment reveal ; Again to their shot-shattered ramparts they rushed — Again roared the cannon, again flashed the steel ! Still the Highland maid cried, Let us welcome the brave ! The death-mists are thick, but their claymores will clear it ! The war-pipes are pealing " The Campbells are coming: " ehd hail i a r t y e hear it ? Dinna ye hear it ? dinna ye hear it ?

Ido not now speak of the commerce nor of the jetties which are in the course of erection as the land.ng-place of the Great Eastern. I allude to the hotel system. It has been described too often to require that I should go over the ground again. It is certainly well adapted to those who lead an unsettled life, and consequently displays the wisdom of the peoplein accem modatiog themselves to the part they have so largely to play in the world's history—the part, I mean, of pioncere—of an advanced guard to reduce to their do minion the boundless expanse of forest and prairie land which forms the background of their immediate position, No sooner is a village planted than two or three hotels rise oat of the dust—large rough buildings at first. As the village grows into a town, more costly erections fol low, until at last a superb palace springs up and be comes, as in the Eastern tale, a caravanserai. The pm solvers by the Great Eastern will probably find the new hotel at Portland ready to receive them. When I saw it, the principal elevation of white marble was complete, and it struck me that the beauty of the design corree ponded with that of the material. Perhaps it is rather smaller than might have been expected. In most of the principal towns the hotels are of unwieldy dimensions. The largest in the States is said to make up 3,060 bedr. This is, no doubt, a great exaggeration, but the princi• pal houses in New York do make up about 1,000 beds each, and the style of the public rooms is quite princely. The simplicity of the mode of accounting is admirably suited to a progressing people. On entering the office, you write your name in a book. The clerk enters oppo site to it the hour, or rather whether it is before or after dinner, and the number of your room. You are then fres to the house, and must look after your own interest. No ene will trouble himself whether you eat all day, or eat not at all, and you will pay the same in either case—about 10e. per day. I had the curiosity to count the number of entries, along with my owu, on the day I arrived at the St. Nicholas, in New York, and found it 250. As I have just been speaking about betels, I will now draw to a conclusion my remarks on American travel- ling, by saying, in one Word, that if you have no squeam ishness- about spitting, ycu will find all the arrangements as peKeet as can be desired. Your luggage is safely stowed in your waistcoat pocket in the shape of a label, and you may travel a thousand miles by half a dczen lines of railway without giving it even a thought. A lady travelling alone finds a separate window devoted to her use at the stations, where she may take out her ticket apart from the crowd. She Inds a separate car riage in the train, into which gentlemen unaccompanied by ladies are forbidden to enter. At the' principal hotels she finds a separate entrance, and the master of the house thinks it his duty to attend personally to her wants. If she goes to the post-office for her letters, she finds a separate window railed off for her convenience ; and should she return to the hotel five minutes after the dinner ball has rung, she finds the lobbies crowded by a set of hungry gentlemen, who dare not enter the dining room until she has taken her seat. This is the perfection of travelling arrangements, but to an unaccustomed traveller, male . or female, it is all clouded and disfigured by the vile habit of spitting. Doubtless, the presence of the ladies is some check on this filthy practice. What it might be I dare not conjec ture. What it is, amply suffices to mar the beauty of outer life in America. You meet it at every turn. Marble pavements and Turkey carpets are alike constantly and copiously befouled. Spitting is the monster vice of the country. Next to slavery, it is the great obstacle in the way of perfect civilisation. Do you ask me how ? I will tell you that it promotes and keeps up a want of social union between the sexes. If you look into the drawing-rooms of an hotel, you will ree elegantly-dressed ladies pining for occupation—some listlessly oscillating in the horrid rocking chairs—some nervously passing from the mirrors to the windows, anxious, perhaps, that others should enjoy a sight which has gratified them selves so much—whilst the lobbies, and the bar, and the tobacco-rooms are crowded with their husbands and brothers—aye, and their lovers, too, perhaps, who dare not spit before the ladies. I counted at one time, in an hotel in Kentucky, 125 gentlemen in the lobby, the pavement of which they had rendered slippery and un safe to the feet.—Kelland's Transatlantic-Sketches. IMPRORANCE OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE. We find, then, that there exists rules for our guidance in judging of the amount of exercise requisite for health —rules by no means difficult to follow. Still, they are general, not individual. Each must be more or lass his own guide as to what is good for him. He must listen to the kind hints, obey the kind whisperings,. of nature, who is ever watching to point out man's wanderings and lead back to health and happiness. And thus we see that judgment, and discretion, and wakefulness of perception, and a certain knowledge of ourselves, are absolutely essential that we may keep the laws of health. And hero behold the bitter bane of ignorance. Ignoranceis no more capable of obeying Nature's laws, than vice of following in vii toe's ways. God has given instinct to the brutes, but reason to man. They are guided in the laws of life by inst set—man must be led to of. e Ler C 3 by reason. If it were possible to find a btute existing in a manner con trary to the promptiugs of instinct, we might compare the *retched animal to the man who is not guided by reason in his mode of living. How clearly does this de monstrate that before a nation can be healthful and happy, ignorance must be rooted out. How can a people enjoy health who do not obey the laws of health ? and how can they obey laws of which they know positively nothing—of which they have sever se much as heard ? Let him, then, who is anxious for the advancement of his race, sho ,v himself anxious for the diffusion of knowledge. When a knowledge of life's laws shall be spread among the people, when truths now known to few shall bo known to many, when philanthropy shall abridge the hours of labour, and the poor have at least the oppor• tunity of living as they ought, and not be compelled to break God's ordinances—in a word, when the bulk of humanity shall become convinced that the joys arising from the joys of others are far more pure, more deep, more durable than any which mere gold can purchase, then will nations begin to feel how great, bow strangely great, the error of supposing that God's wonderful, beau tan!, perfect world is ordained iota world of woe.' When we cast our eyes around our country—when we look from the families of the affluent, feeble and unhappy from too much ease, down to the miserable huts and hovels of oar wretched, o'er-worked poor, and behold, in every nook and corner of the land, fearfulviolations of the laws ordained to govern man—when we consider that we are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of our fel low-creatures who are positively compelled, whatever be their wills, to break the laws of God to earn their daily bread—and then when we reflect upon the delicacy of texture, the minut>ness of arrangement, the miraculous sensibility of the organs of the beings which these laws are designed to protect and perfect—when we ponder on these things, should we feel surprise at the sickness and sorrc,w th ►t pervades mankind, or ought we not rather to marvel—to marvel with awe and gratitude—at the immeasurable power and love of Nature, who is ever working to uproot the misery springing from man's igno rance.—Hopley's Lectures on Bodily Exercise. SUDDEN DEATH AT A RAILWAY STATlON.—Yesterday evening a conapsitor, named John Bagster, late of Angel-court, Strand, died suddenly at the Euston-sta tion of the London and North Western Railway. De ceased, who was about 62 years of age, had been ailing for some time, was about to proceed into the country in company with his daughter, and was on the po , nt of stepping into a carriage, when he suddenly fell back into the anus of one of the fficers of the company, a corpse. Mr. Joseph Skelding, of Euston-square, has made a post-mortem examination. The cause of death is disease of the heart. THE COLONY OF VICTORIA (AUSTRALIA). — The icl p irtant colony of Victoria (the principal region of the gold mining operations) contained, according to the latest returns, 319,379 souls, but in 1354 (the preceding year), the males fearful,' preponderated—in the ratio of 178,024 to 95,841 females. These figures exclude some 2,500 aborigines, the type of which race is familiarised to the public at home by Mr. C. Reade's Jacky, in the tale of "Never too late to Mend." In 1855 there were 11,941 births, 3,846 marriages, and 6,603 deaths. The total number of schools was 536, the number of scholars, 24,494 ; and the total contributions from the Govern ment and private persons, 115,098/. 311 of these schools are sectarian, 59 national, and 165 private, besides which Melbourne, the capital of the coleny, now boasts of an university, which at present, however, only reckons some 16 students. The sectarian schools are principally divided between the Church of England, the Church of Scotland (the old and the " free"), the Wesleyane, and the Romanists. The revenue of the col my in 1855 amounted to the sum of 4,962,3331., and the ex penditure to 4,716,6961. Customs figured for 994,656/.; the dues on gold exported, for 231,483/. ; postage, for 80,109/. ; assessment on stock, for 71,7041. ; fees f or escort of gold, for 20,510/. ; licenses to diggers for , for 39,821/. ; beer and spirit licenees, for 12 1 ,717 1. sales of land and town allotments for 795,363 . ; pro ceeds of sales of debentures, 'for 562,813/. ; and adjustments of advances on imports for public services, for 1,650,5861.

The number of manufactories was 1,944, of which 1,507 were puddling establishments and 159 quartz-crushing machines. The land under crops in 1855 was 115,135 acres, and the produce included 1,148,011 bushels of wheat, 614,614 bushels of oats, 62,378 tons of vege tables (exclusive of mangold-wurtzel), 83,276 tons of hay, 488,8321 b. of grapes, and 9,371 gallons of wine. The number of occupiers of land was 4,326. The live stock of 1855 included 33,430 horses, 534,123 head of horned cattle, 4,577,872 sheep, and 20,686 porkers.

The interest taken in Professor Faraday's lec tures seems to increase as the course approaches its termination. An hour and a half before the lecture begins perions collect round the entrances to the theatre to obtain good places, and on the opening of the doors there is a crash and a scramble like that at the pit doors of a theatre. Yesterday, when. the fifth lecture was delivered, an elderly gentle man and a lady fell to the floor in ruhieg inside, but fortunately without sustaining any sawn in. jury, and every seat was filled sonic time before the appointed time for the lecture. The Prince of Wales occupied the seat in front of the lecture table as usual. The effects of the induction of electricity weret further exemplified and explained by Professor Faraday, who commenced by giving illustrationi of the influence of differently shaped surfaces. A, cube of wood covered with tinfoil was used in the first illustration. The cube w as charged w ith e l ec . tricity when placed upon an insulating stand, and a small square of metal, insulated by a handle of shellac, was applied first to the centre of one of th e flat sides of the cube, and afterwards to its corners, to thbw that a much larger quantity of electricity is concentrated at the latter points than on the flat surface. When the metal carrier, after touching the flat surface, was applied to the electrometer, the leaves only slightly diverged ; but when 'the corners of the cube were touched the gold leaves ex panded widely. The influence of surfaces was still further exemplified by points, from which the electricity exerted by the large machine was dissipated se rapidly as to prevent it from exhibit ing strong electrical effects. One experiment, which illustrated the different effects of induction when operating on metal points, and on pointed non conducting bodies, was very curious. A small rod of metal was balanced so as to allo w it to turn freely, and at each end was fixed a piece of tinfoil rounded at one part and pointed at the other. When this apparatus was electrified, the_balanced rod turned rapidly round, as it would have done had a jet of water issued from each point by the re-action of the air. Similarly shapedpieces of thick paper were then substituted for the tinfoil, and when the ap paratus was again electrified the rod tuned round in the opposite direction—the points moving so as to meet the air instead of being repelled by it. • The apparatus called a condenser was then explained, and ale() the action of the eleetrophorns—the phe nomena of both depending on induction—but it must be admitted that the connection between those phenomena and the property of induction was not very clearly explained. Professor Faraday next proceeded to notice the discovery of the Leyden jar, and he exhibited the experiments which led Muschenbrook to make the discovery of the electric shock, which frightened that philosopher so ranch that he would not take another for the whole king dom of France. A small phial was partly filled with water, and a cork, with a nail pushed through it, constituted the original Leyden jar. This simple apparatus when held to the conductor of the electrical machine collected a chargoaufficient to make Professor Faraday start. He then proceeded to illustrate the successive improvements in the Ley den jar, and to prove that the charge is contained in the glass, and not in the metallic castings on each side, which only serve to conduct the electricity.. Thus, for instance, a conical tumbler with a movable outside and inside casing was charged, and the metal carvings having been removed and applied to the electrometer exhibited no trace of electricity, but when restored to their places inside and out side the tumbler, a report was made when the dis charging rod was applied to the outside and to the connecting rod. An illustration was also afforded of the fact that the electricity of a charged Leyden jar becomes manifest only when connection is made between the outside and the inside. The lid with the wire and brass knob of an ordinary Leyden jar were removed, and on then dropping a suspended ball inside no electricity was communicated to it, nor was any given off by the outside of the charged jar, but when connection was made between the inside and outside coatings, after the lid was put on, a smart explosion proved that the jar conta ine d a strong charge. To pursue the invention on to' its more powerful effects, in the accumulation of elec tricity in quantities so great as to be dangerous, the large electrical battery of the institution was charged and exploded. Professor Faraday, at the conclusion of his lecture, showed a simple arrange ment which had been made by one of the young gentlemen attending his lectures, for accumulating electricity, as in the Leyden jar. It consisted of a finger glass partly filled with water, into which a glass tumbler was introduced. When electricity was communicated to the water in the tumbler it became charged like a Leyden jar. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY IN IRELAND. The people of the country district between Lurgan and Portadown were startled on Wednesday last by the announcement that the daughter of .a wealthy and respected farmer in their neighbourhood had eloped with a labourer who has been in the employ ment of his married sister. The facts, as they have come to our knowledge, are certainly astonishing, and we sue no reason why they should not be laid before our readers. The father of the young lady is Mr. M'Clelland, who resides at Ross Cottage, between the two towns abo►e mentioned, and he is represented to be so comfortable in his circum stances, that he could give his daughter a marriage portion of 1,0001. or 2,0001., should the man of her choice secure his consent. In, August last his eldest daughter, who is, we believe, over 30 years o f age, and has, like most ladies of her years, refused several eligible offers, went on a visit to a younger sistor, who was married, and resided not many miles from her father's house. Here she made the acquaintance of the partner of her flight, who rejoices in the suggestive name of Wm. Cupples, and has not seen more than 18 summers. Their young hearts would appear to have been suddenly smitten with each other's attractions, and the intimacy be tween them became closer in the absence of the master and mistress of the house, who were away travelling for health during the autumn, and on their return home the " gay Lothario" cculd not boar to think of losing for ever the society of the object of his tender affections. Her father would never, it was certain, consent to their union, but love overleaped the social distinction between them, and so they resolved on an elopement. Having come to this determination, they seem to have made their arrangements like people of the world—not like people in love. The young lady returned to her father's house, and having provided herself with some additional clothing, proceeded on Wednesday morning to Lisburn, whet o she was met by her faithful swain, and both of them came into Belfast. The elopement no sooner became known than the most active measures were taken fur discovering the fugitives. But Belfast does not seem to have been thought of till yesterday, when Miss M'Clelland's sister came into town and informed the police of the occurrence. Now, police-officers are well known to be the most matter-of-fact men in the world. It is questionable whether any of them were ever really in love ; or, if they were, it could not have affected them as it does ordinary mortals. .At any rate, it is proverbial that they have no sympathy with lovers, however true; and, consequently, when Inspector M'Kittrick, of the detective force, and Constable Cardwell were entrusted with the duty of discovering the parties, they set about the mat ter as if stolen pocket handkerchiefs, and not hearts, were in question. It was soon discovered that Cupples and Miss M'Clelland had taken up a tem porary residence with an acquaintance, one of the men of the fire brigade, who, fortunately for them, resides near the police-office. The police-officer knocked at the door, and after some delay it was opened. Miss M'Clelland was there, but where was Cupples ? He was found concealed in the pig sty ! The young lady resolutely refuses to return home, and avers that she would not take 6,0001. to leave the man of her heart. It is not known what further steps her relatives may take in the matter. —Banner of Ulster. Tait DUBLIN MILITIA.---The three divisions of this regiment stationed at Bradford, Burnley, and Ashton. under-Lyre, have been removed, by orders from the Horse Guards, to Aldershot. It will be remembered that these men have created disturbances in all the three towns where they have been quartered—at Bradford and Burnley using their bayonets freely. At Ashton they had only their belts to use in the attack upon the inha bitants, and had the worst of the encounter, many of them being severely handled of whom 12 were taken before the magistrates and committed for trial. When the news became public that orders had been received from the Horse Guards to remove the regiment to Alder. shot, it was understood that the three divisions of it were to be first concentrated at Ashton, and the soldiers stationed at the latter place expressed their determination (when joined by their comrades from Burnley and Brad ford), to take a full revenge upon the inhabitants. In consequence of this design becoming known to the autho rities, the Mayor of Ashton took steps on Wednesday to avert the possibility of such a collision, by communicat ing with the officers of the regiment, and with Lieut.- General Sir H. Smith, commandant of the district. The result was that he took the precaution of sending a troop of dragoons from Manchester to overawe any attempt of the kind threatened, but the necessity of their presence had been removed by the Ashton Militia being marched from their barracks to the railway station at St . islyb a egise , instead of that of Ashton, where a train.waswin w for them. By this manoeuvre th e . soldie ftedesipt as dis clear of the town (the barracks being Ashton) and "' - re giments at Stalybridge side of As . 0 of the turbance avoided.
