PI? OPOSBD RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY, Major Beresford is a bold politician. In the pre sent emergency, and to keep the Conservative boat above water, he is for no less decided a step than that of simply throwing Lord Derby and Mr. Dis raeli overboard. This is the only interpretation which we can put upon his speech at Castle Hed ingham. Indeed ho all but says it in so many words. "We have lately," he says, " heard it stated that our party is getting low—some even go the length of saying that the Conservative party is de funct, and that we have no definite principles on which we can stick together. I must say it i s no t extraordinary that such an opinion should gain ground, when you see the leaders of our party re pudiating so vital a question as the repeal of the endowment of Mayno o th." Major Beresford's re medy for this ambiguity and contradiction in the b as i s o f his party is a general rally at the hustings round the Maynooth question. He is not, he tells us , as a general rule, in favour of exacting pledges, buthe thinks Maynooth an exception to the general rule, and he proposes that every constituency should now exact a pledge against Maynooth. "I do not hesitate to say that every man who comes forward to solicit the honour of a seat in Parliament ought to be prepared to say wheth er h e c onsiders thi s a pro per application of the public money." There ap pears to be no doubt in Major Beresford's mind how such a demand, if made by the constituency of Buckinghamshire, ought to issue in the case of the right hon. member for Buckinghamshire ; but then Major Beresford's mind is not that of the electors of Bucks, much less is it the mind o f a ll E ng l an d. Here is a rec o n s truction, then, proposed of the Conservative party on the basis of the Maynooth question, and the exclusion of Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli. It is a bold idea, and may, per haps, be as good as any other plan for the recon struction of this party. A time sometimes comes when persons must make up their minds to save themselves by some great loss ; and, if they are o bliged to do it, the quicker they do it the better. It is better to throw our cattle overboard than run the risk of a shipwreck. Soult gained credit by the decision with which he abandoned bis baggage, and so secured his retreat, after the battle that closed the Peninsular war. There is wisdom in a bold stroke and in the ready sacrifice of our pro perty that we may save our skins. So thinks Major Beresford, and he is determined that his party shall no longer suffer from the want of a plain speaker and some plain advice on this subject. He is not afraid of offending Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli, and he speaks out like a man. Much as we admire, however, the boldness and decision of Major Beresford's policy, it is still a question whether the sacrifice in order to secure life may not be so great as to be tantamount to the loss of life itself. We may, perhaps, be only, after all, pining an exchange in the form of our disso- Illa t ion, and only die by the sacrifice instead of dying by the original evil. The remedy may be almost as bad as the disease. It is like cutting off your head. We do not say that the Conservative party might not get on without Lord Derby, Mr. Disraeli, and Sir John Pakington. There are other Conservative statesmen besides these ; there is, for example, Major Beresford himself. He assures the meeting at Castle Hedingham that " he is as true a Conservative now as ever he was in his life." Well, that at any rate is an encou ragement, and must inspire more or less confidence —the Conservative party cannot despair while Major Beresford is left to them. Still a party to which Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli have stood in the relation in which they have , will be considerably put to do without them. What will it have in the place of Mr. Disraeli's brilliant climaxes, his merciless onslaughts, his stinging sarcasms ? Whom will they have to cheer ? They will find it rather dull work, and a party that feels itself dull is very apt to grow dispirited. There will be Mr. Spooner's annual field day, but they cannot have. an anti-Maynooth hunt every day. What will they AO when they are not talking about Maynooth ? Major Beresford does not tell us. He has no bill of fare to propose in the place of the good dishes he takes off the table. He leaves his party sitting round the white table-cloth and looking at one another. This is the great de fect of his bold political stroke. He relieves his party of the inconvenience of too indepen dent leaders, but be substitutes nothing for them. He gives his party union by this bold stroke. Well, but union will not do everything, even if you get it. Let us suppose the Conservative party united, with leaders that give them no trouble. Let us suppose the Maynooth question adopted unanimously, and no hindrance to work ing it in the strongest way. Now, then, what is the position of this united party ? In the first place, their union is gained by desertion. They will be deserted right and left; they must make up their minds to that immediate result. The very members that go half pledged from their constituencies to vote against the Maynooth grant will not be able, in the political atmosphere in which they will find themselves, to act out their pledge. They will falter and look out for any excuse. The political atmo sphere of Parliament will corrupt them, in spite of Mr. Spooner's warnings and remonstrances; that is to say, they will see, as men of sense, the undeniable danger of tampering with such an arrangement once made. They well see Irish diffi culties in their true light, and they will gradually give way to the weight of superior argument and the general sense of the house. You lose in fol lowers, then, as vrell as in leaders, when you throw over Lord Derby an d M r . Di srael i . As you got union at the price of leaders, you retain it at the price of followers. You become an united party indeed, and possibly an active and zealous one, but, at the same time, a small and insignificant one. A small, noisy, insignificant party, attempt ing to compensate for the absence of weight o f names and talent by mere blind zeal on one parti cular question—such is the Conservative party as Major Beresford's policy makes it. That is to say, the;great Conservative party becomes a mere busy clique, working in a corner of the house. It has got union and zeal indeed, but i t is at the expense of intellect and size. It has become a mere con spiracy against Maynooth, and has only exchanged a larva, unwieldy, and divided basis for that of a small knot of zealots.—Times. A WHALE CAUGHT IN THE MERSEY.—On Thursday morning the residents near the upper portion of the river, on the Lancashire side, were surprised at seeing, some distance from the shore, an immense black body floundering in a shoal, and throwing the water and sand in all directions. After some delay some men put off in two trawl boats to the opposite bank, with the view of ascertaiong the nature of the disturber, and on Dearinv, the spot found to their amazement what appeared "very like a whale." Closer inspection proved their judgment to be correct. The animal being evidently exhausted by its violent throes was reached by the fishermen, who firmly secured it by ropes to the boats. They waited the return of the tide, and towed their prize into a small inlet between Speke and Halehead, called Oirglet. It ap pears that the night before, as two fishermen were in their boats up the river, they perceived what they con sidered a large log floating on the surface of the water, and after eyeing it for a few minutes saw it approach, and, perceiving it unmistakeabie move, ran inshore with their little boat, alarmed at so great a monster. The whale is 24 feet long, 121 broad, and upwards of three tons weight. It is said to be the first ever caught in 11 , ie Mersey. THE HIGHLAND BAGPIPER AT MOSCOW.—M'Allister, Lord Stafford's piper, was in attendance in the ante room in full uniform, kilt, and philibeg, it heir)g the intention of the noble host that in some interval of the dance the Russian guests should be made acquainted with the peculiar characteristics of Highland music. But the bardic soul of M'Allistor was impatient of restraint. For some moments he remained standing in the ante-room, heating time to an imaginary reel, and champing like a war horse impatient of the bit, un til at last, what with the strains o f r i va l music from the band, the intoxicating influence of a thousand wax lights reflected from the porcelain walls, and the bright forme of beauty that flitted to and fro before the gaze of the bewildered Highlander, flesh and blood could hold o u t no l on ger; theinspired Gael shouldered his pipes, and, striki ng up a pibroch that would awaken the dead, marched, with measured tread, as if at the head of his clan, in the centre of the brilliant ring round which grand dukes and duchesses . were at that moment dancing the polonaise. Loud above the puny attempts of c at g ut and brass rose the wild martial notes of the bag pipes. The musicians threw down their instruments in despair, the company ceased dancing, and WA.llister was in a moment . t n he h c is entreof pibroob, aann andadmiring beat circle, completely absorbed ' time with as much accuracy ot of the world's and sang froid as if un conscidna o f t h e prese nce of the forem s .Mite.

The ordinary weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the Council Chamber, Guildhall—Mr. J. Thwaites in the emir. The minutes of the last board having been read and confirmed, the following financial statement Wai laid be fore the board : CASH ACCOUNT. Balance in hands of treasurer, Oat. 7, 1856 Cheques drawn, but not presented £7,420 12 6 1,120 16 9 Available balance Amount of deposit account Total general balance £113,921 17 11 SITE OF OFFICES. A report was brought up from the committee on the site of offices, which stated that advertisements had been inserted in the different newspapers inviting offers of suitable premises for the purposes of the board. Two or three letters had been received, offering certain pre mises, but as they were not considered to be eligible, they now recommended that the premises in Greek-street be adapted for the permanent use of the board, to which they asked the concurrence of the board. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR objected to the reception of the re port, on the ground that the committee had gone beyond the subject referred to them. They had been instructed by the board to cause advertisements to be inserted in the newspapers for suitable premises, and were not em powered to ignore what had already been done by the board. He, therefore, moved that the report be rejected. Mr. HawKER moved, and Mr. LESLIE seconded, the adoption of the report. Mr. SEELEY said the committee had obeyed the in structions of the board to a certain extent, but not suf ficiently on the point referred to it, to obtain a better site for the offices of the board than they could have in Greek-street. Therefore, he thought that the report ought to be referred back to them. Mr. Deputy HARRISON was opposed to the reception of the report, as they recommended the adoption of cer tain premises for the board, in opposition to a resolu tion of the board which had not been rescinded. After observations from Mr. Turner, Mr. Pascal], Mr. Dalton, and Mr. Offor, The CHAIRMAN' put the question that the report be received, when there appeared— For the motion l5 Against it Majority Mr. HAWKER then rose to move that the report be adopted. The CHAIRMAN, on learning the purport of the motion, said that it was incompetent for the hon. member to propose any such resolution in its present form. Mr. HAWKER, however, persisted in addressing the board amidst loud cries of "order," "chair, chair," &c. The CHAIRMAN appealed to the members of the board to support him in preserving order. Mr. WARE moved that the board proceed at once to the next order of the day. Mr. HAWSES protested against the way in which he was treated. (Great uproar.) The CHAIRMAN put Mr. Ware's motion, which was carried by a majority of 17 to 1, the only hand held up in opposition to it being that of Mr. Hawkes. Mr. HAWKER then said that the proceedings of the board were scandalous, disgraceful, shameful, and abo minable, and expressed his determination to move this resolution as an amendment to every order of the day. The .Board then proceeded to the next order of the day, which was an appeal by Mr. J. Liddiard against the amount of compensation awarded to him by the Greenwich district board of works for the loss of his office as surveyor of highways of St. Paul, Deptford. The dis trict board did not deem the appointment a permanent one, but one held at the pleasure of the vestry, and that the resolution of one vestry could be rescinded by any future vestry. Mr. Dilators moved that Mr. Liddiard have a sum of 101. as compensation, which in effect confirmed the decision of the district board, which was agreed to. QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE. The board then proceeded to consider the following notice on the paper given by Mr. H. L. Taylor at the last board, held on the 6th inst. :—" To suspend the pay ment of 5001., voted on the 3d inst. to Mr. Jos. Smith until he has appeared before this board to answer ques tions touching information respecting certain calcula• tions, said to have been furnished by him to a member of this board, and that Mr. Smith be requested to attend this board on Friday next." Mr. H.L. TAYLOR then put several qnestions to Mr. Smith as to the information he had conveyed privately to Mr. Doulton on the question of the main drainage, and that gentleman said he had done so at the written request of Mr. Doulton, on calculations he had made, according to the instructions of Mr. Bazalgette, their chief engineer. He had supplied the information to Mr. Doulton on his own responsibility, as Mr. Bazalgette was absent at the time. In answer to questions from other members, Mr. SMITH said he conceived it to be his duty to give to any member of the board such information as might be requested of him to the extent of his ability. Mr. DOULTON vindicated the course he had taken, and said he should not be deterred from obtaining any infor• matien he might require by such puerile motions as those given by the hon. member for the city of London (Mr. H. L. Taylor.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said while be thought Mr. Smith had acted indiscreetly, he could not place such a limit to his feeling as to what had been done by Mr. Doulton, in surreptitiously obtaining information from a subordi nate officer in the absence of his superior. Such a course was calculated to strike at the root of all confidence, if, in the absence of the superior officer, members should go to the chief office, there pry about, and get crude information from subordinate officers, which they well knew could not be relied upon, and which the chief engineer bad never been identified with. He hoped they would that day set up a principle that the subordinate officers of the board should not be tampered with, as one that was calculated to be attended with the worst results. He concluded by moving, "That Mr. J. Smith had acted indiscreetly and committed a breach of confidence in communicating crude information upon an important subject connected with the main drainage to an individual member of this board, without the authority of his superior officer. Mr. COLLINSON seconded the motion, and condemned the principle of members going privately to Greek-street to obtain information for the purpose of tripping up the heels of their chief engineer. If he (Mr. Collinson) re quired information, he thought the proper course would be to come down to the board and ask publicly for it, and not go privately about and pick up indirectly infor mation from the subordinates. Mr. BAZALGETTE, with the consent of the board, said the course of obtaining information indirectly was at tended with the greatest !possible inconvenience, as he did not wish to endorse opinions which he had not pre viously examined and tested. Mr. BRISTOWE opposed the motion, and said it was not to be endured that members were not to go to Greek. street and ask questions of their own officers. If that was to be the proper view of the matter' ' he fur one should consider it to be inconsistent with his position, and should at once resign his seat at the board. Mr. SEELEY said he had no intention whatever to have spoken upon this question, and he should not have done so but for the observations of the gentleman who had just sat down. He differed altogether with the conclu-ion to which he had come, for he did not consider that the whole 45 members of the board should be at liberty to visit Greek-street, to go into every room in the house, and ask questions of every officer they might meet with. If that was Mr. Bristo we's view of what they ought to do, he did not agree with him, or that toot they should call upon the clerks in the office to give them information on the ground that they were their masters. He did not conceive that they were at liberty to go to Greek-street and ask of either Mr. Jones, Mr. Smith, or Mr. Thompson, all sorts of information, or have papers out of their desks without the consent of their superior officer. Mr. WILKINSON supported the views of Mr. Taylor, but thought the object sought by Mr. Taylor had been already answered by the discussion which had taken place, and hoped that he would not press his resolution. The CHAIRMAN said as this was a question of discip line, he thought if they passed the resolution proposed by Mr. Taylor that it would prevent subordinate officers giving any information whatever, which would be a re striction most objectionable, and therefore he hoped Mr. Taylor would not press his resolution. Mr. R. TAYLOR defended his colleague, Mr. Doulton, and said if members were restricted from obtaining infor mation from Greek-street, their own office, he should resign his seat at that board. His colleague, Mr. Doul ton, had his family at Brighton, and knowing that an important discussion would take place on the main drainage on Monday, he went on the Saturday to Greek street, and asked Mr. Smith, in the absence of Mr. Ba zalgette, for certain information to prepare himself for that discussion. Mr. CoRRIE moved the previous question. The motion was seconded and put, and carried by a large majority. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR protested against the way in which this question was disposed of. The superintending architect then brought forward a number of reports on applications made for the permis sbiuoinuointg chimney-shafts, thebon .ba ard ey t a oc f e t r e r c„ certain in premises, which were quite of a routine and formal character, and the board adjourned.

William Salt Hardwick, who was some days ago, to gether with Henry Attwell, charged with having com mitted a forgery upon the banking-house of Messrs. Gosling and Co., of Fleet-street, was brought before the Lard Mayor, at the Mansion-house, upon the charge of having committed a forgery with intent to defraud the firm of Messrs. Pemberton, Heywood, and others, of Lombard-street, bankers, of 1,0001. Mr. Mullens, the solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for Protection from Forgeries and Fraud, at tended for the prosecution ; Mr. Lewis for the defence. Mr. W. P. Nicholls, clerk to Messrs. Pemberton, Heywood, and Co., said—Messrs Stephen Kennard, and Co., of Austinfriars, keep an account at our house, and are in the habit of accepting bills payable at our house. On Saturday, the 14th of June last, the bill of exchange for 1,0001. produced was presented to me for payment by John Clemente (one of the witnesses for the prosecu tion). I had my doubt about it, and Clemente was de tained. It purports to be drawn by L. Roupe upon Messrs. Stephen Kennard and Co., at thirty days' sight, to the order of R. Ryley, and purports to be accepted 12th May, 1856, payable at our house. I had gone so tar as to select the notes with which to pay the bill. Cross-examined—l have never seen the prisoner to my knowledge before this day. SMr. William Inkersole said—l am in the service of Messrs. Stephen Kennard and Co. The acceptance to the bill of exchange produced is certainly not the genuine acceptance of our house. I know Mr. Lavington Roupe, of Hobart Town, and have constantly seen his signature to bills, and from my acquaintance with his signature I state that this is not in his handwriting. It cannot be meant for an imitation, as his handwriting is very small. I have seen the prisoner before. About the 27th of May last be brought to our house the bill of exchange for 2001. produced, dated Hobart Town, Feb. 16, 1856, drawn by Thomas D. Chapman and Co., upon Messrs. Stephen Kennard and Co., payable at 90 days' sight to the or der of "William Crossley and C 0.," and W. S. Hard wick. The prisoner left that bill at our house for accep tance. He asked that it might be accepted then, but I objected, and told him to leave the bill until next day. He said he was going out of town, and he would tell his ' bankers Coutts and Co., to call for it. The acceptance to that bill is the genuine acceptance of our firm. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis-4 cannot say that the genuine acceptance ever got into the hands of the prisoner. I don't know who called for it. We do not take receipts for bills left for acceptance. There is no firm of the name of Roupe in correspondence with our house. We do not take any memorandum taken as to persons who call for accepted bills. The Lord Mayor—ls it usual with your house to ac cept bills drawn from Australia without advice ? Wit ness—lt is. The Lord Mayor—You would accept a bill for 1,0001. if you knew the signature of the party ? Witness—Yes. John Clemence said—l am servant to Mr. Joseph Goff, of" Hale"-park, near Salisbury, Wiltshire. In the month of June last I was out of a situation, and my wife and I were then residing at No. 23, Haddington• street, York-road, Lambeth. I presented the bill of exchange for 1,0001. at Heywood and Co.'s bank. In the beginning of the week I was in the city of London making many inquiries to get a situation, and on one of those days I went into a ware house in the City. I don't know exactly where that warehouse was, but I think it was somewhere near the lower side of Cheapside on the right hand side, to wards Sir R. Peel's monument. It was in one of the warehouses there. I made inquiry for a situation as a messenger at that warehouse. I there saw the prisoner and the person of whom I made inquiry for a situation. I was told that they did not know of anything that would suit me, and I then left the warehouse. Shortly after• wards some one called me, and I looked round and saw the prisoner, who called and beckoned to me, and I went up to him. He asked me if ever I had charge of horses, and with whom I had been living. I told him I had been living with Mr. G. Fortescue. He then told me he knew of a friend of his who wanted a man as a messenger, and very likely I should hear from him, and he asked me for my address, and I told him my name and where I lived in London. I told him I had been a groom. I had been in the service of Lord Ebrington and Mr. Fortescue. A day or t wo afterwards I received a letter at my lodgings. It came on Thursday evening by post. In consequence of that letter I went on the Friday morning to a house in De Beauvoir-town, Kingsland-road. A man not the pri soner, opened the door to me. I showed to ' him the letter I had brought. He took it from me and kept it, and did not return it. He looked at the letter, and said, " This is concerning my situation." He said to me, "You have been living with Mr. Fortescue." I had not said anything to him about Mr. Fortescue. He then made a statement as to what he wanted me for, and as to who he was. In consequence of what then took place, I went to see him again on the Saturday, and he sent me then to the Bank of England to get change for a 201, note. The note pro duced I believe to be that note. It is dated 7th April, _ _ 1856, and numbered 37,212, and has the name of R: Ryley, De Beauvoir-place, Kingsland, upon it. It was not written in my presence. He told me also to buy two ten shilling adhesive stamps. I changed the note for gold, and bought the two stamps and took back the money and the stamps to the house at Kingland. The person I saw at the house at Kings land told me to go and get some lunch, and come back again. I went back accordingly, and that person told me to take to Ilessrs. Heywood and Co.'s the bill produced here for 1,0001. I received it with the receipt on the back already written. I was detained at the bankers', and went with the officer to Kingsland, but I have not :eon the person who gave me the bill since that time. About a fortnight ago I went do 'n with the officer to Yarmouth, and there saw the prisoner, and pointed him out as the person who had spoken to me in the City about the situation. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l was told by Hag- gett, the officer, that I was going about the bill of ex change to Yarmouth. He said some people had been taken at Yarmouth. The officer took me to the station house at Yarmouth to see the prisoner. I saw no persons together. They were in separate cells. I did not see there the person from whom I received the bill. The person from whom I received the bill was a middle-aged man, and did not resemble the prisoner in any way. I never saw the prisoner except at the time I mentioned and at Yarmouth. Re-examined by the Lord Mayor—l recognised the prisoner when I paw him in the cell at Yarmouth, as the person whom I had seen in the City, acid to whom my evidence relates. Mrs. Ann Sewell, wife of James Sewell, of 23, Had dington-street, York-road, Lambeth, said—ln June last the witness Clemence and his wife were lodging in my house. I recollect the Saturday in that month when Huggett brought Clemence to my house. On the Wed nesday previous the prisoner called at my house in the afternoon and inquired if we had a young man living with us in want of a situation. I said, "Yes ; Mr. Cle mence. He is not at home, but I expect him shortly." When he was going away I asked him if he would be kind enough to leave his name. He said it was of no consequence, he did not himself want him, but a friend of his, and Mr. Clemence would hear from him. On the Friday the letter came addressed to Mr. Clemence. I went to Yarmouth and into the goal there. I was shown into the yard where there were two people walk ing about, and I immediately pointed out the prisoner, wno was one of them, as the person who had called at my house to inquire for Mr. Clemence. _ _ - Cross-examiced by Mr. Lewis—There was a younger man than the prisoner walking about the yard. I did not go into the yard at first, but looked through a grating, and did not recognise him then. I was not told that the prioner was the person charged with this of fence, but was !eft to identify him myself. The Lord Mayor—Have you any doubt that the pri soner is the person who called at your house to •inquire for Clemente ? Witness—l have no doubt of it. Mrs. Elizabeth Cole, of 3, Belchamp-villas, Bucking. ham-road, Kingsland, said—On Wedncz - lay, the 11th of June, a man who stated his name to be Ryley came to my house to hire a sitting room and bed room, and gave me ss. on account of a week's rent. He said that he would not sleep in the house till the Monday. He came for about an hour or two each of the two or three suc ceeding days. On the Thursday I recollect that the wit• uess Clemence came to him, and also on the Friday and Saturday. On the last day Clemence called twice, and after he went out the second time Ryley went out, but never returned to the house. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l never saw the pri soner before this day. He is not Ryley. I do not re member that any one but Clemence called upon Ryley. Clemence did not stay long when he called. Perhaps it was 20 minutes or half an hour after Clemence went out that Ryley went away. The distance from our house to Liombard-street is about two miles and a quarter. Mr. John S. Peter said— I am in the service of Messrs. Dufour and Co., of 19, Gresham-street, at the corner of Wood-street, Cheapside. I have seen the prisoner several times at our house. We have known him as carrying on business at Hobart Town, Australia. He was at our warehouse on Tuesday, the 10th of June, and paid over the sum of money mentioned in the receipt produced, which is in my handwriting. Cross examined by Mr. Lewis—The prisoner did not act as agent to our firm in Australia. If he had sent for goods, we should have only trusted him. We have given him credit to the amount of between 2001. and 300/ , and the money he paid that day was the balance of the account be owed to us. I am not aware that we have sent him samples except when he wanted them. It is very likely we may have put some samples of lace and stockings in the packages we have sent out to him. I think he required us to send out samples of something he could do business with in Australia. Mr. R. A. Bailey, clerk in the Acc mutant's Bank note Office, said—l 'produce a 201. note, No. 37,212, dated 7th April, 1856, which was brought into the Bank of England on Saturday, the 14th June last, in the name of R. Ryley, De Beauvoir-place, Kingsland, which I changed for gold. Mr. J. H. Langhorn, cashier to Messrs. Puget and Co., of St. Paul's Churchyard, bankers, said—The 201. note produced was given out by me for gold to some person who said he applied from Mr. Wheeler, the manager of the business of Mr. Walker, who keeps an account with us. Mr. Wheeler proved that be bad not sent any person to ,etet the 201. for gold. Mrs. Meek, of 20, Ne'son-square, Blackfriars-road, said : Iu May last, the prisoner and his wife came to lodge at my house. They had three rooms. I was at home when the officer searched those rooms. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—The prisoner's wife continues to reside in my house. George Scott (the detective officer) said—On the 18th of September I searched the rooms at the house No. 20, in Nelson-square, and found the receipt produced and the bill of Exchange I produce for 100/., drawn from Melbourne. Mr. Mullens—That is my case, my lord. Mr, Lewis asked whether there was anything in th evidence at all likely to touch his. sib ent ; or whether his lordship thought it would be necessary for him to make any observations upon what had bee n stated. Mr. Mulleins said the evidence was quite strong enough to justify the commit tal of the . prisoner for trial, and he commented upon the chk: yin of circumstanc e s, which he submitted put it beyond all doubt that the prisoner had been a principal cone octor in the affair, and had exercised a great dea l of IT iget uity for the purpose of evading detection. The Lord Mayor said he was afraid that there was a number of cases to which the power of the magistrates to act as judge and jury did not extend. He considered that it was his duty to send the present case to a higher tribunal, and he would d o so without making any com ment likely to subject bin ► to the imputation of prejudg- ing. The prisoner was then ad dressed in the accustomed form by his lordship, art, d h avm,g said that he Iwould leave his case in the hands of h is solicitor, was committed for trial. Henry Atwell, who was charged with having, in con- junction with W. S. Hard wick, forged upon the house of Gosling and Co., the ba rakers, was then placed by his side at the bar, and they were both committed for trial for that offence. TILE CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDS. EXAMINATIt )N OF ROBSON. [The following appeared in part of our impression of yesterday.] At the Lambeth Police Court, yesterday, William James Robson, who lately held a responsible situation in the secretary's office at the Crystal Palace, was brought up in custody o f Superintendent Lund, of the P division, and plat 3d at the bar before Mr. Elliott, charged with forging an , I uttering a number of Crystal Palace shares. The prisoner, who wr is dressed in a travelling poncho, and bad a far cap on, R Pas accommodated with a seat. Mr. Grove, the secretary, and other officers of the company, were present,. Mr. Hawkins, instrucf,ed by Messrs. Johnson, Far quharson, and Co., for the prosecution, stated that the prisoner in 1853 was principal clerk in the transfer office, and had charge of the books and the scrip cer tificates of persons who h ad left shares for security at the office. He continued in the company's service till 19 th Sept. when he absconded and was subsequently apprehended at Elsinore, where be was residing under the name of Smith. On 19th September some irregularities were brought to his ztotice, which he said were more ima ginary than res , ,l, and the learned gentleman having stated the motive of the prisoner's absence, entered into the particulars ol" the charge, one of a series of frauds, which was that of having fraudulently disposed of 50 shares, the property of Mr. Robert Robertson, near Leeds, deposited fo r safe keeping with the company, which will be found in the following evidence : Mr. Grove, secretary to the company, deposed that the prisoner was in the service of the company. He entered into it in Ai oil, 1853, and continued in it until the 19th September last. He was the chief clerk in the transfer department, and had the custody of the transfer book and the r3gistry of the shares. Certain share certificates were in the office belonging to individuals who had not taken them away, and they were in the prisoner's custody. Mr. R. Robertson of Leeds was the owner of 51 preference shares. The last time he saw the, prisoner was on the 20th Septem ber, when he left witt'l Mr. Fasson to investigate the irregularities. Mr. George Fasson, treasurer and registrar of the Crystal Palace Company deposed that Mr. Robertson was owner of 51 shares, No. 199,499 to 199,500 inclu sive, share certifioates had been prepared for them. On the 20th of September he was present with Mr. Groves, when the prisoner was charged with irregularities, and he left with prisoner •to go to his resi dence at Kilburn to have the matter explained. Upon their arrival at Kilburn he left the room as if to procure the materials for the necessary explana tion, having first said something about lunch ; he did not see him afterwards. Before leaving the room he (prisoner) spoke to his wife about some transfers. Before witness left the house a note was handed to him written by the prisoner, stating that he (witness) was not to be under any alarm, that prisoner's property was over 30,000/., and that all would be right, but he admitted having done wrong in letting Mr. Remington have shares that were in his possession for money he required ; that he (pri soner) was gone into the City and witness and pri soner's groom was to follow him. He then left and consulted his solicitor. Mr. Clement, stock broker, of Lothbury, deposed that he sold the eight shares referred to in September, and handed the money over to the prisoner. Police-sergeant Coppin deposed that he apprehended the prisoner at Copenhagen on Tuesday last, where he was residing under the name of Edward Smith. He said to him, " Mr. Robson, I am come about the affair of the Crystal Palace." He replied, "I am very sorry. I know I have done wrong, and I must suffer the law." Witness asked him if he had any objection to accompany him to London, and he said "No ; be should be very glad to get back." Witness told him to prepare for leaving. On him was found 35 dollars in Danish money, and other small Danish coins, and a gold watch and chain ; in his box witness found some silver spoons, forks, a diamond ring, and other articles. He also found on him his passport and passport book. Prisoner's sister was at Copenhagen with him, and travelled in the name of Agnes Smith. Mr. Fasson proved the handwriting, " E. T. Smith," on the passport produced was the prisoner's. Superintendent Lund deposed that on the prisoner being brought this morning to the police station he said to him, " Mr. Robson, this is a bad job." Prisoner said, " Yes, I'm miserably guilty. I'll make all the repara tion I can before I go. I hope they won't confine me for life solitary, but I don't mind being transported, for I deserve it. I carried a ring about me at least three months with prussic acid in it, and I intended to destroy myself, but something came across my mind as though it were from the Almighty, and the rea son I did not do it was not to make my poor unhappy wife's latter days miserable, and I threw the ring into the sea ;" he went on to say, " I give over all my property to the Crystal Palace Company ;" and he said he had lent money to the ex tent of nearly 3,0001. This was the whole of the evidence adduced, on which Mr. Hawkins asked for a committal. Mr. Elliott said he thought the case was not corn• pleted, and should adjourn it. Mr. Mount, solicitor, who was present, addressed his worship, and said that a fiat in bankruptcy had been issued against the prisoner, and as a messenger from the Bankruptcy Court was in attendance, and the articles produced b y Sergeant Coppin were not the pro duce of the fraud complained of, he asked that they might be handed over to that officer. Mr. Hawkins said he hoped the lion. magistrate would not make the order that day. Mr. Elliott accordingly declined. The prisoner, who was enveloped in his poncho dur ing the whole of the time of the examination, and held a white pocket handkerchief to his face, on the advice of his solicitor, Mr. Lane, who watched the case fur him, declined saying anything. The further hearing of the case was adjourned to Monday, and the prisoner was removed in custody of Mr. Superintendent Lund. TESTS OF PURE WATER.—The following practical rules for testing the wholesomeness of water will be useful :-1. The water must be perfectly colourless and transparent, leaving no deposit when allowed to stand undisturbed. 2. It must be quite devoid of smell. 3. When litmus paper is immersed into the water, the colour of the paper must remain unaltered. 4. The water when boiled must not become turbid. 5. About half a table spoonful of the fluid being evaporated to dryness on the spirit lamp, there must be a slight resi• due left at the bottom of the spoon not turning black from organic matters. 6. The residue obtained by evaporating to d r y ness a sample of the water in a fierce- Tam cup upon the tea-urn, must not become black on the addition of a solution of sulphuretted hydrogen.—Dr. Marcet in Medical Times and Gazette.
