The Great Jewel Robberies. --•- BOW-STREET.-THIS DAY. This morning Mr. Flowers resumed the investigation of the several prisoners charged with committing, or being concerned in committing, the recent burglaries at the esta blishments of Mr. Abrahams, of the Strand, Mr. Walker, of Cornhill, and Mr. Johnson, of Threadneedle-street, jewellers. _ _ The case had excited even more public attention and in terest than on the former occasion, and the approaches to the court were crowded with persons eager to get a sight of the criminals. It need hardly be said that at the com mencement of the proceedings the court was crowded to excess, and numbers of persons, disappointed in obtaining admission, remained outside, blocking the passages to suf focation. The crowd outside was nearly as great as on the occasion of Muller's examination, but the approach to the court-room was admirably kept under the judicious ar rangements of Superintendent Durkin, who was ably seconded in his efforts by Inspectors Brennan and Avery. Amongst the gentlemen occupying seats on the bench were Lord George Gordon Lennox, Lord George Gordon Bruce, Lord Hayes, Lord Ingestre, and Sir Richard Mayne. Mr. Nelson, the City Solicitor, was also present. The following prisoners were brought up on remand : William Brown, alias Price, alias Scotty, James and Ellen Hurley, William, H. and Martha Jeffrey, Thomas and Louisa Brewerton, alias Bruton, Thomas and Ann Casley. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. George Lewis, jun., for Mr. Walker and Mr. Johnson; and Mr. Abrams, for Mr. Abrahams. Mr. Kemp, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Beard, defended Jeffrey, Casley, and Brewerton. The case had been appointed to bo heard at twelve o'clock, but up to half-past twelve the prisoners had not been placed at the bar. _ _ Mr.Flo.wers having asked the cause of the delay, Mr. Superintendent Durkin (of the F division) stated that it was thought necessary that one of the prisoners should be seen by certain witnesses, with a view to ascertain whether they could identify him. [lt may be explained that the practice is to place a pri soner for this purpose amongst a crowd of persons of similar general aspect, and then bring in the witness, to anticipate any objection which might arise if the witness had the opportunity of distinguishing the prisoner by his conspicuous, position in the dock. This course was adopted on the present occasion.] A still further delay ensued, and an impression became prevalent that one of the prisoners had offered to give in formation, and was now making a Statement in another room. At five minutes to one o'clock the eighC prisoners (Hur leys, Jeffreys, Casleys, and Brewertons), were placed at the bar. Mr. Abrams said he had no evidence to connect these prisoners with the burglary at Mr. Abraham's. Mr. Lewis—Sir, I again appear on the part of Mr. Walker and also of Mr. Johnson, and possibly there will be other proceedings against them for other burglaries committed in the city of London; and my application to you is that the prisoners be remitted to the city of London, where nearly all the witnesses reside, and where the offences were committed. I need hardly point out the extreme convenience of that course, and I imagine you would not be inclined to put the witnesses to the inconve nience of coming to this distance. At the same time repeat, both on behalf of Mr. Walker and of Mr. Johnson, that they feel the greatest gratitude to the Metropolitan police for the exertions and ability they have displayed in this case. Mr. Flowers—l understand, and would wish to know if it is the case that there is a man of the name of Roberts in custody at the Mansion-house. Is he supposed to be con nected with these burglaries ? Mr. Lewis—He is, and at this moment he is detained at the Mansion-house awaiting the arrival of Mr. Walker and the other witnesses. Mr. Flowers—My difficulty, as I presume you are aware, was the second section of Jervis's Act. These persons were brought before me, and I did not see quite well how I could, without sufficient cause being shown, remit them to the City, which could only be done by a warrant, which, you will remember, sets forth that the principal witnesses reside in the City. Mr. Abrams now states that there is no evidence to connect them with the case of Mr. Abra hams, and as you now state for the prosecution that the principal witnesses reside in the City, I thinx cause has been shown to justify me in sending them to bo examined at the Mansion-house. Mr. Lewis—Very well, sir. And with reference to the other man Brown, who will be brought up presently on the charge of burglary in the Strand, I may mention that there will also be charges against him for offences in the City, and I trust that Mr. Burnaby, in making out the com mitment, will be kind enough so to word it that he may be taken to the City without difficulty. Mr. Burnaby (the chief clerk) said he would bear that point in mind. Mr. Kemp—Surely, Mr. Lewis, you are not going to the City to-day ? Mr. Nelson, the City solicitor, said the Lord Mayor would bo quite prepared to hear the case to-day. The prisoners were then remitted to the City. The prisoner Brown, alias Scotty, was then placed at the bar on the charge of burglary at Mr. Abrahams's, in the Strand. Mr. Abrahams said he would not offer any further evi dence, but should now apply for the committal of the pri soner for trial. The prisoner was committed. Mr. Lewis mentioned that since the discovery of five watches in the River Thames, near Blackfriars Bridge, last evening, a vessel belonging to the Thames police had been constantly stationed at the spot, and this morning the diver had made a second descent with the apparatus of Mr. Reinke, of 79, Great Portland-street, and had found another watch, which was also identified by Mr. Walker. The state of the tide during the day had prevented any further search from being made, but it was contemplated to send the diver down again to-morrow to make further search. Inspector Potter, of the G division, stated that Scotty had, in 1851, been sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for a burglary in Scotland. We understand that there is some foundation for the rumour that one of the prisoners had expressed a desire to make a statement to the police, but it was not thought expedient for the ends of justice to mike it public. On Saturday the Inspector went to Scotland for the purpose of arresting a man supposed to be a relation of Scotty. This man passes by the name of Miller, but his real name is said to be Barry. Mr. Potter succeeded in capturing him, and found on him a gold brooch, gold pin, and gold ear-ring, all identified by Mr. Walker, a bank book, of the Royal Bank of Scotland, in the name of Miller, and showing £55 paid in, and two shawls which had been identified as a portion of the booty of a burglary in Lau rence-lane. Miller and Barry had also been transported for 10 years. It seems that Scotty was transported under the name of Miller. • Ihe Threatened Lock-out in the Iron Trade. MEETING OF DELEGATES. Yesterday a meeting of delegates of iron works operatives was held at Brierly-hill, South Staffordshire, to consider and determine upon the course to be pursued in relation to the notice of the ironmaaters threatening a lock-out at all the iron works in the United Kingdom if at the close of this week the men on strike in North Staffordshire have not resumed work. The delegates represented, it was stated, some 10,000 men, employed not only at the iron works of England, North and South, but also those throughout Scotland and North Wales, and a portion of South Wales. The number of the delegates was 25, and they were ap pointed at meetings held on Saturday night in their various districts. At those meetings so strong was the feeling of the men against yielding to a notice for the lock-out that out of 20 districts 14 were in favour of resisting tho notice, and several of them had instructed their delegates so to vote under any circumstances. During the greater half of the meeting the speeches were all in accordance with these sentiments, and the masters' notice was condemned in no measured terms, whilst the readiness of the men to submit to any deprivation rather than yield was equally emphatic. Towards the afternoon, however, moderate counsels began to prevail. Mr. Kane and other members of the executive spoke of the large amount of privation which resisting the notice would occasion to colliers, furnacemen, hardware artisans, and others who were altogether innocent in the dispute. The funds, it was said, were great, and would enable the members to maintain the struggle, supported as they would be by other unions, but it was desirous to husband the funds, and at the same time prevent the misery which would ensue, and under these circumstances the speakers thought that the men in North Staffordshire should be re quired to go in. To this the delegate from North Stafford shire replied that under no circumstances were the North Staffordshire men prepared to resume, except on gaining the point in dispute. The delegates, too, whose consti tuents were so strongly in favour of resisting the notice, contended against this step as long as they were able ; but they ultimately yielded to the appeals of the executive offi cers ; and it was resolved that the North Staffordshire men should be respectfully requested to resume work at once. The motion was carried, with the North Stafford shire delegate alone dissenting. If the men in North Staffordshire should decline to act on the resolution they will be cut off from the executives, and the strike will then become purely local. Under these circumstances it was considered that the masters would not deem them selves called upon to carry out the notice, even if the Staffordshire men should remain out. By the speakers who counselled moderation arbitration similar to that now being adopted in the building trades, would, it was hoped, soon be the rule of the iron trade. BALLOON ASCENT.—Mr. Glaisher, F.R.S., an d Mr. Coxwell yesterday made their quarterly balloon ascent from Woolwich Arsenal in the Mars: The balloon was inflated with 29,000 cubic feet of gas from the Royal Arsenal gasometer, by permission of the War Department, on payment of the expenses at prime cost. The balloon left the earth at five minutes past 2 p.m., rising in an almost perpendicular line for some minutes, and afterwards diverging in a north-east and easterly direction. It finally disappeared behind some thick clouds, taking its course apparently towards the Brighton coast. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO BEER -HOUSE KEEPERS, &C.—Two young men, named Edward Pearce and George Wedlake, were charged as follows : Mr. Peter Bell, landlord of the Victoria beer-house, Riding-house-street, Marylebone, said that on the previous evening the prisoners came into his house, and after being served with some beer went down stairs. After being there for some time they came up into the shop and left by a side door. About ten minutes after the prisoners left he went down stairs, and to his surprise found water flowing all over the place, and on making a farther examination he discovered that the brass tap and about three feet of pipe had been taken from the water butt, the ball-cock had been removed from a water butt in the front area, and the pipe had been cut about in every direction, evidently with a knife, the damage done amounting to 305., in addition to the property taken aw a y. _ _ Police-constable Craske, of the E Division, said he went with the prosecutor, and saw the prisoners together in Great Titchfield-street. They denied all knowledge of the robbery,but admitted having been to the prosecutor's house. On searching the prisoners ho found on them two knives, one of them having mortar on it, and Wedlake's hands had mortar on them. A person not then in attendance saw the prisoners close to the part of the premises where the lead was taken from. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisonerS. Royal Geographical Society. Yesterday evening a very crowded meeting of the members of this society was held at Burlington house, to hear a paper read by the secretary, Mr. Markham, on the " Origin and Migrations of the Greenland Esquimaux," having reference to the probability of an open sea round the North Pole, and especially to hear the remarks of Capt. Sherard Osborn on a more lengthy paper by Dr. Petermann, advocating the despatch of another Polar expedition. Sir R. Murchison took the chair, and the room was crowded by all the chief members of the society. In the first - paper read the secretary proceeded briefly, after expressing an earnest hope that the expedition proposed by Captain Osborn would yet be carried out, to show his (Mr. Markham's) reasons for be lieving that the unexplored regions to the north were, up to the very Pole itself even, not improbably sup porting a small and scattered population. The migra tions of men within the Arctic Zone gave rise to questions closely connected with the geography of the undiscovered portions of the Arctic regions and those questions which could only be solved by a scientific Polar expedition. Until the last nine cen turies the great continent of Greenland was unte nanted by a single human being, and there was a still more remote period when trees clothed the hillsides of Disco, and groves waved in a milder climate over Banksland and Melville Island, and corals and sponges flourished in the now frozen waters of Bar row's Straits. There was a later period, when the Norseman held the land against the old proprietors of the soil, the Esquimaux, who had come from the wilds of Siberia. The last glimpse of the Norse men showed them living in two districts, divided into villages ; but when, after a long lapse of years, Greenland was again visited all trace of the Norse man had disappeared, save a few Runic inscriptions extending as far north asUpernavik, some ruins, and the broken Church bells of Gardar. The cradle of the Esquimaux race was in Central Asia, though even those wandering tribB had doubtless found other tribes of natives before them. There was ample geographical evidence that a large tract un explored in the Arctic regions was occupied by land. The awful ice found on the north-western shore of Prince Patrick's Island showed it to be the aectunu - lation of years, and therefore in a virtually land locked sea-locked to the north, as well as south, east, and west. All the chief Arctic explorers had found remains of huts, fox traps, and horns of animals on Baring, Byam Martin, Melville, Bathurst, and Cornwallis islands, which enabled them to trace the route taken by those early wan derers in search of the means of sustaining life, step by step, along the whole length of the Parry group from Baring Island to Cape Warrender. It was on the coast of Greenland that they at length found a resting-place. Part went south, and, driving out the Norsemen, peopled Greenland, while part, he believed, wandered still further north, where the re quired conditions for their existence might be attain able. All their traditions spoke to there being an iceless sea in the far north, and open water was life to Esquimaux. Such a people would be completely isolated, and, on account of their habits, manners, language, and mode of life, would be to many one of the most valuable results of the contemplated Polar expedition ; and this was but one out of the many branches of knowledge which would be en riched and advanced by future North Polar ex plorers. At the conclusion of the paper Capt. Osborn, who was very warmly welcomed by the meeting, rose to read a brief abstract from Dr. Petermann's commu nication on the subject of Polar exploration, a paper which the gallant captain said was much too long to read in extenso, but was still so valuable that the so ciety were determined to print it among the regular papers. The learned doctor strongly recommended that future attempts to penetrate to the Pole should be made from the Spitzbergen side rather than from Smith's Sound, and he supported his views in favour of this route on the ground that the sea there would, he believed, be found to be almost free from ice. England, which had done so much to promote the maritime interests of the world, should again be the first to take the lead in this great branch of geogra phical discovery, for it was only from her great re sources in men and ships that a solution of the pro blem could be looked for. Capt. Osborn, in referring to the heads of this paper, said he did not at all wish to oppose Dr. Petermann's theory that there was an open sea round the Pole, for the learned doctor was by no means alone in that opinion, Professor Maury holding it also. He, as a sailor, thought they were both right in so believing, though he also thought that water cauld not be reached except at a certain time when all navigation was at an end. He did not think, however, that the whole of the 150,000,000 square miles of unknown Polar regions was water, and for that, among other things, he was anxious anxious for an expedition to set the question at rest. With another expedition there was every chance of most successful explorations being made, and a cer tainty of the return of those who took part in it— a certainty which he believed, however, would not be so greatif Dr. Petermann's route by Spitzbergen were chosen, and he was naturally of opinion the route by Smith's Sound was so far much preferable. The service to which he had the honour to belong had been in a state of peace for ten years, and he was anxious that young and energetic men should be al lowed to go and win their promotion, and in doing so promote at the same time the ends of science ; and he regarded it as the duty of the Geographical Society and of the public to urge on the Govern ment in that direction. He quite denied that there was any real danger to be feared from these expedi tions if properly organised and commanded, and he referred to the case of Dr. Rae, who had been sup ported by the natives for months. There would certainly be no lack of volunteers for such an ex pedition, and he believed one English Admiral was prepared to lead, if necessary, a squadron by Spitz bergen to the North Pole. (Hear, hear.) M'Clintock and Allen Young, and many others whom he could name, were perfectly ready to go at once. He (Captain Osborn) had been told he must pOint out where the funds were to come from ; but with that he could have nothing to do. The nation gave ten millions a year to the navy, and in the late ten years had spent no less than 150 millions on it, though after all this the fighting vessels which they possessed might be counted over the fingers' end. (Much laughter.) - Of this great sum 'half a million only had gone to the scientific department of the profes sion—not more than the 230th part of the whole amount. He should certainly like to have more than that spent, especially when even of that sum money was taken in one case for a cricket-ground, or in others spent in the wages of servants at various establishments. In conclusion he urged the society to do all in its power to work upon public opinion in favour of another expedition to the North Polar regions. Professor OWEN, in reply to a request from the chairman, briefly pointed out the benefits which were likely to accrue to the science of zoology if an open sea round the Pole were reached. He thought it was the duty of the Government not to rest as long as there was a part of the world which ought to be observed but which had not been visited at all. The unfortunate termination of two of the expeditions had rather alarmed the public mind on these matters, but he thought there was no real ground for fear if the expeditions were equipped and furnished by the aid of the experience which had been acquired by more recent Arctic investigations. After a few brief observations from Lord Hough ton and Capt. Maury, both of whom strongly sup ported the idea of a fresh expedition to the North Pole, the proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks. THE NEW CONFEDERATE FLAG.—The plan of the new Confederate flag, submitted some time ago by Major Rogers for the consideration of Congress, has been adopted by the Military Committee of the House and Senate, and will henceforth be the national emblem of the Confederate States. Our readers will remember that the change made in the flag consists in the division of the field into a white bar and a red bar in equal proportion, the red bar being at the outer end of the field.--Richmond Whig.

I' uneral of Mrs. Howard of Corby. (From the Carlisle Express) The funeral of Mrs. Howard, wife of P. 11. Howard, Esq, of Corby Castle—the sudden death of which lady on Saturday morning week was re corded in our issue of that day—took place on Thursday, at noon, the body being deposited in the family mausoleum adjoining Wetheral Church. The occasion, as might have .been expected, was one of general mourning throughout the neighbourhood, not simply because it was a Howard who was dead, one of that reverend family of which Cumbrians are so justly proud—but also because of the amiable character borne by the deceased lady. In the cot tage and in the hall alike, will common. testimony be borne to her genuine worth, for of those noble and generous qualities which tend so largely to dignify wealth and position, Mrs. Howard was in no small measure a partaker. A more mournful spectacle than that of Thurs day's funeral procession the fair domain of Corby has perhaps never witnessed, and its impressiveness was all the more powerfully felt when the mind, even though it were but for a moment, was permitted to recall the many pleasing and delightful associa tions of that far-famed beautiful place. Yet without, save but for the assembling strangers, clad in mourning, there was nothing to tell of the bereave ment and gloom within. " The silent snow pos sessed the earth," brightening rather than conceal ing the beauties of the landscape ; and the innume rable developments which were everywhere observ able of the fresh young life of the early spring, left no room for expressions of regret at human loss. In consequence of the deceased lady being of the Catholic faith, and the family vault being in the English Church, it was necessary that two funeral services should be performed. The ceremony was commenced in the morning at half-past nine o'clock, when the Catholic burial service was performed pri vately in the Castle, by the Rev. W. Ryan, of Warwick, the Rev. Canon Curry, Carlisle, and the Rev. Mr. Darnell, tutor to Master Howard. The funeral, though of a private character, was very largely attended by the gentry of the county, and by Mr. Howard's tenantry ; and although the pro cession was not to start until twelve o'clock, num bers of persons began to assemble in the grounds fully a couple of hours before that time. All who wished were permitted, after the private service had been concluded, to enter the chamber in which the coffin was placed. The windows being closed and curtained, the apartment was illuminated by the glimmering light of candles. A crucifix was placed at the head of the coffin, and each piece of white drapery against the walls was embellished with a cross, while various other emblems were exhibited, Thecoffin, which stood in the centre of the chamber, and which had been supplied by Mr. Creighton, of Carlisle, was of a most elegant description. It was made of mahogan and covered with black silk velvet, the edges being studded with croslets. Eight gilt handles were placedon the side and at the ends. On the lid was a large fioreated cross, on which, done in red and blue enamel, were the initials " E. M. H.," ; also a shield on which were the Howard and Can ning arms, and a large square gilt breast-plate, bearing the following inscription :—" Pray for the soul of Eliza Minto Canning, wife of Philip Henry Howard, of Corby Castle, Esquire, who died Feb ruary 11th, 1865, aged 55 years. Eternal Rest give to her, 0 Lord, and let Perpetual Light Shine upon her." There were other two coffins within, one of oak, and the other a leaden case. At 20 minutes past 12 o'clock the hearse, which, along with the hired conveyances, was furnished by Mr. Sykes, was drawn up in front of the castle, and the body was immediately borne out and placed in it. Messrs. Toppin and Sons, of Carlisle, who had been entrusted with the funeral arrangements, then proceeded to form the procession. In the first carriage, preceding the hearse, were Dr. Elliot, Carlisle, and Mr. Arras, Warwick Bridge, who had attended the deceased ; the Rev. W. Ryan, of Warwick Bridge ; and the Rev. W. Blake, of Wetheral. The second carriage was occupied by P. H. Howard, Esq., and J. G. Fleming, Esq., of London, who married the late Mrs. Howard's sister ; and the third by J. Errington, Esq., of High Warden, near Hexham, a relative to Mr. Howard by marriage; and Mr. Fleming, jun.,—those four being the mourners. The pall-bearers were Major Hamilton, Warwick Green ; Captain Ferguson, Morton ; Mr. Losh, Wreay Syke ; James Fawcett, Esq., Scaleby Castle ; J. P. Senhouse, Esq., Netherhall ; G. G. Mounsey, Esq., Castletown ; Captain Walker, Wetheral Plains ; Captain Irving, Wetheral ; W. Forster, Esq., Car lisle ; T. 1-1. Parker, Esq., Warwick Hall ; T. H. Graham, Esq., Edmund Castle ; and Capt. James, Barrock Park. The whole of the carriages-23 in number—having received their respective occupants, the cortege moved slowly out of the grounds. A num ber of Mr. Howard's tenants, gardeners, carpenters, labourers, and other people walked in couples at the rear. Groups of spectators were gathered in the grounds and at the entrance gate, as well as along the road, but the greatest order and quiet pre vailed. Passing along the low end of Corby, the route taken was by Eden Banks,. which brought them into Wetheral village, instead of under the railway bridge on the low road, the time occupied in going round being about an hour. On entering the village the church bell began to toll, and the procession halted on the green, whence the body was borne on the shoulders of six men to the church, the mourners and others walking in procession be hind. The Rev. W. Blake, accompanied by the Rev. T. G. Livingston, met the body in the church yard, and at once proceeded with the burial service by reading the opening sentences. While those in attendance at the funeral were entering the church, the Dead March in Saul was played on the harmo nium by Mr. Metcalf, of the Carlisle Cathedral. Among other preparations which had been made for the occasion, the communion table, reading desk, and the seats appropriated to the mourners were draped with black cloth. The coffin having been placed on a bier on the centre of the choir, and the large congregation having settled into their places, the service was proceeded with by the chaunting of two psalms, the first to the Gregorian Chaunt in E minor, and the second to the Gregorian Chant in A minor. The lesson was then read by the Rev. W. Blake, and at the conclusion of it, a hymn— " When our heads are bowed in woe." wits sung (from " Hymns Ancient and Modern "), and during the singing the body was removed into the vault, whereupon the mourners took up a posi tion round the entrance to the mausoleum, while the remaining portion of the service was gone through. Another hymn, " Jesus lives," from the collection already named, was sung, after the con cluding prayer, and then the benediction was pro nounced. At the conclusion of the service Mr. Howard, the Rev. W. Ryan, and the Rev. Mr. Darnell descended into the vault, where they re mained for a few minutes, and then Mr. Howard, who had expressed himself " much gratified by the solemn and appropriated service," accompanied by the other mourners, withdraw from the church. While a dismissal was being played by Mr. Metcalf, many of the congregation availed themselves of the opportunity to enter the vault, in which arc now deposited the mortal remains of six of the Howard family. The funeral arrangements were good, and we understand that Mr. Howard expressed himself much pleased with the satisfactory manner in which they were carried out by the undertaker. .1111=.••••••••••.-- -- ----- .-----.-- ----- MILL—If any one thing had to be selected which should prove more clearly than any other the utter impossibility of comparing the perfection of divine with the imperfection of human skill, few bettenk examples could be chosen than that familiar fluid, milk.

WESTMINSTER. DRAMATIC PERFORMANCES AT MUSIC-HALLS.—Directly after Mr. Arnold took his seat upon the bench this morn ing, Mr. Roberts, solicitor, addressing him, applied for a summons against the nominal proprietor of a music hall in Regent-street, Westminster, for violating the Act for regu lating theatres. Mr. Roberts said that they were acting at this Music-hall, without the license of the Lord Chamberlain, a stage play called " Mazeppa." It was a burlesque upon the original production under that title, and was represented by two persons at a scene upon the stage, who represented four characters. Tho whole was a dramatic performance. Mr. Arnold—Were there real horses ? Mr. Roberts called a person named Field, who described himself as a private inquirer, who replied that the bur lesque was performed with - basket horses. There was a stage, footlights, and a proscenium. A dialogue was car ried on between the two persons who were upon the stage. There was no scenery, the front of the stage having cur tains drawn on either side of the stage, and a looking-glass at the back. Witness went to the music-hall on the 23d inst., and having paid sixpence for admission saw the representation described. Mr. Roberts said that there could be no doubt by all the previous decisions that this was clearly a violation of the statute. It was not necessary there should be any scenes. Mr. Arnold—There were none used in stage plays in Queen Elizabeth's time. The summons was granted. THAMES. A STRANGE ROBBERY.—Edwin Robert Tuffs, aged 21 years, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing 29 seamen's beds, the property of Henry Thomas. Mr. StOdder% solicitor, stated the case for the prosecu tion. The prosecutor was a manufacturer of seamen's beds, and carrying on his business at No. 4, Caroline-street, Ratcliff. A few months since the prosecutor found Tuffs in a most destitute state, and without food or lodging. He fed and clothed him, took him into his house, and gave him employment. On Saturday morning last, during the ab sence of his master, the prisoner loaded a truck with 29 beds in the presence of his mistress, who said to him— "'Why are you going to take away the work this morning, you know it is the Jews' Sabbath, and they will receive nothing to-day." The prisoner said the goods were or dered, and be was going to take them to Catcbpole and Salmon, two of his master's customers. Mrs. Thomas believed his statement to be correct, and allowed him to take away the goods. In the afternoon she saw the pri soner again, and asked for the money for the goods. He made an excuse and said he had not been paid. Soon afterwards he left home, and when his master returned Mrs. Thomas knew for the first time the prisoner had no autho rity whatever to remove the 29 beds. It was also ascer tained that ho had not delivered any beds to Catchpole and Salmon, and had not received any order from them. The prisoner was not seen again until yesterday, and his master then met him at the corner of Heath-street, Com mercial-road. The prisoner said I have sold the things and spent the money, and am come to give myself up. Mr. Stoddart, in conclusion, submitted that the prisoner should be sent for trial, and that the prisoner had added ingratitude to robbery by his offence. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas confirmed in every particular the statement of Mr. Stoddart, and police-constable Harris, 526 K, said the prisoner admitted to him he took the beds away, sold them, and spent the money. The prisoner said he was guilty, and added, "I had no intention of robbery. I took the goods out, sold them, and spent the money on myself." Mr. Paget—l call that stealing. The prisoner—l did not break into any premises. Mr. Paget—No, you did not. The prisoner—No, nor take the goods away secretly. _ _ Mr. Paget—No, you did not, but you have committed a most impudent robbery, ana I sentence you to be impri soned for six months, and kept to hard labour.

POPULATION LOP .GREAT BRITAIN.—In the year 1864 there were 739,163 children born in England, and 495,520 persons died ; iu Scotland there were 122 , 445 born and 74,303 died. Th e bi rth ra t e i n England was at the rate of 3.56 per cent. on th e es ti ma t e d population ; in Scot land, 3.60 per cent. ; and the death rate was 2.38 per cent in England, and 2.35 in Scotland. Both birth rate an d death rate were high, and abo ve the average. The natural' increase of population in the year by excess of births over deaths, was 244,243 in England, and 38,142 in Scotland : in Great Britain therefore 282,385. But there were 73,365 Englishmen or Scotchmen among the 208,900 emigrants from the United Kingdom in the year. The population of England in the middle of the year 1864 is estimated at about 20,772,000 ; of Scotland 3,118,700 ; of Great Britain therefore 23,890,700—an increase of 762,182 since the census of April, 1861. HER MAJESTY'S STAGHOUNDS.—Yesterday this pack met at a select spot a short distance from Burnham Beeches, where a deer was uncarted, and gave some good running to a fine field, including several sportsmen from town. The meet yesterday was held, it is understood, in lieu of that appointed for to-day (Shrove Tuesday) at Burnham Beeches, which it is said will not be held. This notice may therefore prevent disappointment. The weather yesterday was first-rate for hunting, and the ground was also in good condition.
