This morning, upon the Recorder taking his seat, Charles King, formerly a plain-clothes officer in the C divi,ion of the police, was put upon his trial for having conspired, with a number of young thieves, to commit feio❑ieF. The prisoner, who is described in the calendar as haminerm ,n, aged 32, was arraigned upon several in dictments, contai,iing counts for stealing and receiving, and the first one proceeded with was that of having stolen upon the 31st Dec , 1853, a purse, containing 175., from some person unknown, at the parish of St. Mary AL botts, Kensington. Mr. ',Bodki❑ and Mr. Clerk prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended. Upon the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mr. Sleigh applied to the Court to postpone the case until next ses sion, as Mr. Duncan, who had been retained by the pri soner, was unwell, and he (Mr. Sleigh) had not had time to sufficiently study the prisoner's instructions, which had but that day been put into his hands. The Recorter said that, the case not being of a com plicated character, he thought that Mr. Sleigh could do sufficient justice to the prisoner without the postpone ment, as it was merely a case of the credit due to the witnesses. M. Bodkin then stated the case to the jury, and said that the present prosecution had been ordered by the Government, and it was one about which great anxiety was felt, as the charge against this man was, if untrue, one of a most wicked character ; and if true, he could conceive no offence more heinous, as the prisoner was one of those members of the police force who were placed in plain clothes to prevent the commission •f crime, and his position therefore afforded some facilities to commit crime if he felt disposed. The charge about to be proceeded on was this : The prisoner had got ac qnainted with a young thief, named Reeves, now undergoing a sentence of two years' imprison ment in the Westminster House of Correction, for picking pockets, and from what that boy had stated to the officials then they had taken these proceedings against the prisoner, and the boy's statement was that prisoner had taken him and some other boys, upon the 31st of December, 1853, where the skating was going on upon the Serpentine, and there pointed out to the lad Reeves a la,ly, whose pocket he picked. After Reeves had picked the lady's pocket of her purse he gave it to the prisoner, who, having shown the boy what money it contained, and then putting the money in his pocket, hid the purse in a tree. The boy then picked another lady's pocket of some loose silver, and the prisoner afterwards, at a coffee-shop in Sloane-street, divided the proceeds of the day's plunder. The case did not rest upon the testimony of the boy alone, for the circumstance of hiding the purse was seen by Sims, the park-keeper, who called the atten tion of the police to it ; and although they could not prove the prisoner to be the party, the fact of some one having hidden the purse,. as stated by the boy Reeves, would be clearly proved. Prisoner had also been seen at the Zoological Gardens and other places with the boy Reeves. The evidence adduced fully bore out the statement of .he learned counsel. M t.t-4KI T N W.S-a HIS DA Y.

F by Tag° TILE ADVANCED SQUADRON OF TBE BALTIC FLEET. On Saturday morning the 31st ult. the advanced squadro , of the Baltic fleet had entered the Kattegat and sighted the island of Anholt ; a separation was then ordered, the senior officer. Captain Watson, taking the route through the Great Belt to Kiel with the Euryalus and Conflict. and the remainder, under Captain Yelver ton, proceeding on direct through the Sound to Elsinore ; the Imperieuse, Euryalus, and Conflict, to Kiel ; the Arrogant, Amphims, Tartar, Cossack, Esk, Desperate, and Archer, to Elsinore. At tike same time the Despe rate was detached to Wingo Sound to ascertain the state of that anchorage, and send on the colliers (if any there) to Elsinore. On Sunday morning the ships under Captain Yelverton anchored off Elsinore, having encountered much opposition from the floes of loose ice in passing up the Sound. The harbour of Elsinore was c ompletely blocked up, and no opening could he seen in the direction of Copenhagen. The ice continu ing to move down in increasing quantities, the steam I w as ordered to be kept up ; the pressure on the ships soon became too heavy for either anchors cr cables, and of the four ships, three—viz., the Arrogant, Esk, and Tartar—parted from their anchors ' • the Arrogant's was lost in the attempt t o wei g h it ; but the others were fairly dragged away, and carried down some miles in the ice-field before they could clear themselves. The ships then anchored a few miles to the northward, behind Kullen-point ; but during the bight considerable quan tities of ice continued to pass them, without, however, occasioning further damage, and this morning (April 2) soon after daylight they again weighed, and proceeded under steam, with as much speed as the circumstances would permit, through the Sound to Landscrona, aoma ji but secure harbour on the coast of Sweden, about 12 miles distant from and within sight of Elsinore. Here they arrived on the afternoon of the 2d inst., and with the assistance of the harbour master and pilots all r were (notwithstanding that the ice in the ha rbou r was still unbroken) got inside and safely moored head and stern ; the harbour itself, enclosed between an island and the mainland, is very small, but in no part less than five fathoms of water ; once inside, the ships of the largest size can lay in safety, let the wind blow from whatever quarter it may ; but the approach is intricate, and the difficulty of getting in much increased when ob structed by ice. The Desperate rejoined the squadron from Wingo Sound on the morning of the 2d, having been unable to get inside on account of the ice. Two or three vessels, supposed to be colliers, had contrived to get in, but with considerable damage, and one had been totally lost. The Desperate has been again sent away with despatches for the senior officer. The Sound is at present pretty free from ice as far as can be seen from this (Landscrona), but the pilots and the people here say that for the next 10 days it will be constantly passing in immense floes, which no amount of steampower would enable us to resist. The Belts are also, they say, full of ice, and Kiel harbour completely blocked up_ In fact, great surprise is expressed at our having come out so soon, as for some weeks nothing can be done in the Baltic, and our remaining here must be attended with more or less risk.

A,..lsopp and Sons, brewers, Burton-on-Trent, has consente d to take the chair at the approaching anniversary festival of the above institution. The fete will take place to%,va. - ds the latter end of May. s AaIMUNITION FOR THE TURKISH CONTINGENT.—Dor, ug the past few days a vast quantity of stores and amm,Ani tion for the Turkish contingent in the Crimea, includiL'g no less than 3,000 tons of the newly invented shells ' have been deposited for shipment on the premises of Orsi and .A.rtnani the depot for Javel Mannie, at Old Shot Tower-wharf, Lambeth. The shells are taken in barges down the river to Woolwich, where they are charged with the combustible material, prior to trans mission to the Crimea. OLD ENGLISH AND PATRIcTIC SONGS.—Among the most attractive of the numerous attractions offered at the Polytechnic Institution is the musical lecture by Mr. G. Buckland, with vocal illustrations of old English and patriotic songs. Of the five songs which Mr. Buckland sings, " Stand to your guns " is, to our mind, the most powerfully rendered. His audience seemed to prefer " The Old Politician," in which there is much scope for dramatic action and mimetic display—of both of which qualities Mr. B. is a master. We know no vocalist who combines so conlpletely the excellences of a sweet yet powerful singer, and that perfect knowledge of his art which can alone enable him to turn his voice to good account. We hope yet to see him as popular in the London concert room, and on its platforms, as he already is throughout the provinces.

Her Majesty's ship Himalaya, was at Karatch on the 27th of March ; a letter of which date says : Commander Priest, " It has been blowing hard occasionally from the south ward since last mail, but as this anchorage is a very snug one no damage and but little delay occurs. The Himalaya is very busy discharging her 350 horses ' which are in most superb conditi on an d fi t f or any work. She has lost four altogether since they were first embarked at Portsmouth (March 2). Three of these were shot, having glanders, farcy, and infectious diseases, the fourth died of coups tion of the lungs. This noble ship made her lounge from Cork to this place in 14 days, including stoppages of 11 day at Gibraltar, 7 days at Malta, and 30 hours at Scutari —or lass than 12 days under steam. Report sends her hence to Alexandria to pick up the 10th Hussars. The Vesuvius goes to Balaklava with the stores brought out by the Himalaya to-morrow. " There are many transports both in English and French creeks." The squadron at Spithead, consisting of the Neptnne, 120, Capt. Hutton; the Orion, 91, Captain Erskine; the Powerful, 84, Capt. Massie ; the Calcutts, 84, Captain Stafford ; the Pvlades, 21, Capt. D'Eyncourt ; the Cen taur, 6, Capt. Clifford, were signalled at six o'clock on Wednesday night to weigh and proceed to St. Helen's, at daylight yesterday morning, to get out of the way of the court-martial on the officers and crew of the late Tiger, as the ships will be wanted to go into the Downs to form a guard of honour to receive and salute the Emperor and Empress of the French on their forthcoming visit to Eng land. The Duke of Wellington and the St. George remain at Spithead. Vice-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, 5.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of Portsmouth, hoisted his flag on board the Neptune yesterday afternoon, and was to take the squadron to Dover Roads, starting last night—signal was made at one to prepare for sailing, and the order in cluded the Falcon, Commander Pullen ; the Cruiser, 16, Commander the Hon. G. Douglas; and the Ariel, 9, Com mander Luce ; the squadron, therefore, consists of nine sail, and the two exe r ci s i ng b r i gs , th e ealark and Rolla, were added at St. Helen's. The appearance of this squadron was very picturesque yesterday riding off Portsmouth ; Sir Thomas Cochrane took his band. with him and made the best preparations for doing justice to expedition on which he was going.

Hyde, left Southampton yesterday afternoon with artil lery and horses for the Crimea, as stated in The Sun of yesterday. Previous to the vessel's departure 40 of the troops were sent on shore, it being found that owing to , the crowded state of the ship there was not sufficient accommodation on board for them. They left during the day for Woolwich. The Volcano floating factory has left Woolwich for Greenhitbe, to have her compasses adjusted, and will then proceed to the Baltic. Orders have been received at Woolwich to fit out, with all despatch, twelve 9-pounder field batteries and two 12-pounder field batteries, for immediate service.
