THE GOLD BULLION ROBBERY. MANSION-HOUSE—(THIS DAY). The two men, Burgess and Pierce, were again placed at the bar, this morning, before the Lord Mayor fur further examination, on the charge of stealing gold bars, American gold coin, and coupons to the amount of 15,000/., on the South Ea-tern Rilvay in May, 1855. Greater excitement prevalle.l throughout the day than on the former examination, and for an hour before the business commenced hundreds of per.sons had assembled in front of the Mansion-Howe in the hope of gaining admission to the court, to catch a glimpse of Agar, the principal actor in this adroit and daring affair. The excellent arrangements made prevented the Court from being overcrowded ; and by the kindnes§ of the Lord iayor and Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, every accommodation wa , = provided for, the representatives of the press, and facilities given to the evening papers for the transmission of copy. Mr. C,, , rdon Thompson, deputy chairman of the Seuth-Eastern Rail way Company ; Mr. Cross, a director ; and Mr. Smiles, the secretary, were present during the investigation, watching the proceedings on the part of the c)mpany. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution as on the former occasions ; the prisoner Burgess was defended by Mr. Lewis, and Pierce by Mr. Wontner. The Lord Mayor took his seat on the bench punctually at 12 o'clock, and Agar, the witness, was immediately Put into the witness-b ,, x in custody of a Portland warder, and his examination resumed, commencing with the sale of Cie gold, which appeared in ThursdaN.'e Sun. In con- tinuation he said—The money received for the gold so sold wal taken to Pierce's house, and he hal the greater part of it. Alter this a horse and cart was obtained by Pierc", and we removed the bar gold from his house to mine, at Shepherd's-bush. This was the morning after the robbery in the night. Pierce hired the cart in Grove street, Mornington-square. It was a small shay cart, with a grey horse in it. The gold was in the courier bags, placed in small carpet bags. I rather think the money had for the gold sold was left at Pierce's house, and was kept in a bag. When we got to:my house I found Fanny Kay and the servant girl at home. The gold was taken into the front parlour, and placed be hind the door fur a thort time, and afterwards I took it to my bed room and planed it in a truck. Pierce only helped me in to the parlour with the gold, and then left with the horse and cart. 100 on. of the gold were sold abcut three or tour days aftor. Picrce and I cut it from one of the long broad bars of the Aus tralian gold with a cold chisel and a hammer in the washhouse. The gold W 33 very tough and hart, and it took 15 minutes to cut it off. My hammer was too light for the work, and Pierce got a heavier one, which was bought at Buck's tool shop, in Tottenham-court-road, with which to cut the remainder, as it was wanted for sale or melting, The washhouse was only accessible from the garden ; and to prevent any one seeing what was going on the glass was whitewashed. Fanny Kay, on one or two occasions when we . ware cutting up the gold, came and asked for a saucepan, or such article as she wanted, when it was given to her, the gold lacing covered over that she might not see it. Pierce sold the first 100 ez. of gold, but where or to whom he never told me. 300/., I believe, was obtained for it, and I think I kept possession of it. After cut ting off the 100 nz the remainder was melted, Pierce assi:ting me. The gold was cut up in small quantities, and the stove in the back room on the first floor was taken but, where a furnacs was made and the gold melted. Pierce bought the fire-bricks for making quantity of gold in his possession, but he was discharged as the gold could not be identified.] Witness continued—l took the gold by appointment to a beer-shop called the Alma. Ho left with the gold, and afterwards returned with the money in gold. I took the gold home to Pierce's house, where we counted it and found it all right. About 1,8001. worth of gold was disposed of in this way by Seward. I made him a present of a ls. or sixpence for his trouble on each occasion, but what he got else I don't know. He did not tell me where he sold the gold. I have told the Court of all the gold sold that I know of down to the time of my arrest. I know a man named Seal, but I never sold any gold to him, nor am I aware he had I anything to do with it. The gold sold realised from 1 2,2001. to 2,3 001 ., and the money was changed with 1 Bank of England notes by Pierce. After that, a meet ing of myself, Burgess, Pierce, and Tester took place in Pierce's parlour, at Kilburn-villa. It was stated that the gold bad been melted, and how much money there was in hand. It was divided. Tester had 6001., Burgess 70@/., Pierce 6001., and I had 6001. I was paid in notes, which I pit in my trunk, and shortly after parted. The division took place in the evening. Pierce kept no servant, and I believe he sent Mrs. Pierce to the theatre that night to be out of the way. I continued a week longer with Pierce, and I then went to live with a female named Fanny Campbell at Stanley-place, Paddington green, and was so when I was apprehended. Pierce visited me there. When I was arrested Pierce had the remainder of the gold, with the exception of two or three bars that I bad in a trunk at Pierce's ; but I was prevented from selling it by my arrest. The whole of my share of the notes, and some other money was in my trunk, with a Spanish bond for 2001., when I was apprehended, and ell into Pierce's hands. I had before sold similar bonds He lived with me at No. 3, Cambridge-villas. She cor- r,beratecl Agar's evidence as to Pierce's visits there, and his frequently using the wash-house for hours toge ther, with Agar. The windows of the wash•house were whitened, and the door fastened, to prevent my knowing what they were doing. I used to hear hammering and filing in the wash-house. They bad a charcoal fire in the wash•house, and they usrd to fill the copper with water. Charlotte Baker left me about 21st May, 1855. Pierce and Agar continued working in the wash.house • Paid 1! 9i up to the time of her leaving. The witness corroborated Agar as t) his having several courier bags in the house at that time, and other particulars relating to the doings of the two, which it is not necessary to repeat. She added, Agar had a great many tools, which he kept in a green painted box, which was kept in different parts of the house. A large iron bound trunk was kept in the bed•room locked, and Agar kept the key. On one occasion Pierce and Agar came home with two bags in a cart containing charcoal. Toe witness was some time under examination, but her evidence was en tirely corroborative of Agar's relative to his and Pierce's actions at the latter's residence. When they were occu pied in the first floor back room she heard a roaring noise like a furnace, and hammering. Once she looked momentarily into the room and saw the stove was taken out. Pierce and Agar were there at the time, and there was a bright fire in the fireplace. They ran over and shut the door. When they came down to their meals they appeared very dirty and hot. On one occasion I asked them what they were about, and they replied "Leather apron weaving" —a cant term for " Mind your own business." I afterwards saw Pierce bring down large bricks (fire bricks) in a pail and put them in the coal cellar. I last saw Agar on 11th June. He left me very hastily. After he left me I went i n to the back bed- 50 I 411 ia, 7.11 il. ! all Nil all 22 I all 23 all '45 all a. 10.3 3t. il.OO St. 100 5J t all all 20 all 20 all 1 , all 1 8 50 1 45 aiLILW 4' TS.

I took the child's perambulator and some clothes, and gave them to Pierce, which he took home. I got inside a buss to keep an appointment, but on my way about four o'clock in the afternoon I was apprehended. After that, 3,0001., which I had in the Stocks, were sold out and brought to me in Newgate. I gave it to Mr. Wontner, who kept it for some little while. He asked me what he was to do with it, and I told him I wished it turned over, and 2,5001., after deducting the expenses of my defence, was given to Pierce's wife to invest it for the benefit of my child and its mother, but he has not done it. I never saw Pierce from the time of my arrest till a few days since in the hock. I have received letters from him since I have been at Portland, with a portrait of ray child. The canvas bags were destriyed. A round wooden mallet about the ize of a pint pot was used to open the lfoxes ; it was thrown over the pier at Dover the night of the robbery with the wedges. Pierce kept all the money I had in my trunk, the 6001. notes, some gold and gold bars. I ex pected when I was apprehended he would have come to me, and have ma le arrangements with me, but he never came near me. He had the whole of the money. When at the coffee-house near the Southampton Arms,Camden town, the master of the house had a long conversation with me in Pierce's absence. It is about three weeks ago that I first made a statement in reference to this robbery to Mr. Reed, the governor at Portland. This finished the examination in chief of this witness. Mr. Wontner said that, as the case must go elsewhere for further investigation, he should best consult his client's interest by abstaining from cross-examining the witness. room and I found the stove put into its place and black ened, and the floor burnt in a few places. I know a person named Tester. I knew him at Sunbridge. I have heard Pierce aad Agar speak of him, but I never saw him at Cambridge-villas. The day before A.gar was apprehended I appointed to see Pierce and Collier, the person who had my child, at the Duke of Clarence, Notting-hill. I found Pierce and Agar there. Agar gave tne child to Pierce, who took the child away in a cab. I was to meet Agar on a subsequent day, but I tound from Pierce he bad been apprehended in the meantime. At that time I received 10/. from Pierce, 51. after, and subsequently 10/. Last January I went to him at Pierce's house at Kilburn-villa; I there saw Agar's trunks, gold watch, and chain. I lived there till April, when I left on account of a quar rel. The watch has a view of Winchester Cathedral on the face, and the initials "E. It. A." After I left Pierce paid mo 103. a week. I was ill, and wrote to him for assistance in May last, and be sent me 101. I have had nothing of him since. I first made a communica tion of what I knew about two months since. Mrs. Pierce has occasionally given me 10s. When I lived at his house I saw Pierce with a great many notes. I first gave information to Mr. Weatherhead, the governor of Newgate. At that time I had no means of supporticg myself and child. Shortly after that I saw Mr. Rees, solicitor to the company, who has since provided me and my child with the means of support. I had previ• ously to this gone to Pierce's for my child's clothes, but they were refused me. After waiting there some time in the kitchen Pierce came down stairs and said to me " What do you want." I. said my child's clothes ;he said " do you," caught me by the hair of the head, drag ged rue round the kitchen, and very much ill-used me. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l have not received 1501. from Pierce. I have received of him 251., 10/ , 51., and 101., and 10s. per week. I went there on one occa sion to take the child away with the clothes it had. I never went there and endeavoured to take it away naked. After I left Pierce I again went to re,ide at Sheppard's bush, and from thence to Greenwich, where I now re side. I have not been to Portland. I was taken away by a man whom I don't know, in a cart from Sneppard's hush. The man was accompanied by Mr. Chapman, a gentleman in Mr. Itee's office. I have not seen Agar since. I took the child from Pierce. I have written to him twice since. I did not know Pierce on the line. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l was dismissed from Tunbridge because 1 left the station against the rules of the company. I was in distress for some time after I left the station. Burgess never gave me any assistance is money. I had been away from the station 12 months before 1 knew Agar, and had got rid of the gentleman through whom I was dismissed from Tunbridge. Mr. Rees does not allow me any money for my support, but he pays my hoard and lodging for me. No period is fixed for the termination of that support. Mr. Lewis asked the witness where she at present resided Mr. Bodkin objected to the question, and directed the witness not to give the requiied igOrmation. At the proper time for her entering into recognisances she should give her aJdresa. Mr. Lewis protested against such conduct. Mr. Bodkin said that at present the ends of justice would be defeated, if the address was given. The Lord Mayor said that, under the circumstances, he could not allow the question to be put. Mr. Lewis said it was a monstrous proceeding, and to get her address he must adopt another course and have her watched home. Here was a woman whose living was paid for by the prosecution, and it was desirable to ascertain her whereabouts, to make some inquiries about her. 43,11 fast k IlAllyrneaa. Farming.

Mr. Wontner said he was instructed by Piero to state that the 2,5001. handed over to him for invest ment for Fanny Kay and Agar's child had been invested by him in Turkish Bonds, and that they were taken pos session of by the officers when he was apprehended. Mr. Bodkin said that that statement did not tally with the notions entertained by the prosecution of the facto. Mr. Bodkin said that at present he advised the wit ness not to answer the question. The witness declined accordingly to answer the ques tion. I had no instructions given me not to see any person pending this irquiry. My child is now living with me. She took half a sovereign once from Agar when he was counting gold-1001. at least. By Mr. Bodkin—Before Mr. Rees provided me and sly child with support we were destitute. Before that I was living in part of a room with a friend. I saw Agar after his conviction at Pentonville, in the presence of Mrs. Pierce, but I never had any conversation with him about this robbery. I first knew of it in February or March last, from Mrs. Pierce. It being five o'clock Mr. Bodkin proposed an adjourn ment, as there were a great many witnesses more to be examined. Mr. Lewis said, from what he had heard, the case was likely to occupy several weeks, and he therefore asked that Pierce should be admitted to bail, as the trial could not come off before the January session. The Lord Mayor decided on refuting bail under any circumstances. Mr. Bodkin said that as the prosecutors would have to go abroad for Tester it would be desirable to postpone the case for some period, and he suggested a formal re mand of eight days. Ultimately the further examination of the prisoners was remanded till one o'clock on Monday next. There are upwards of GO witnesses to be examined for the prosecution. the furnace, and brought them to my house in a bag. The bricks produced are those used in making the furnace alluded to, on which were distinctly now to be seen particles of gold adhering. I left them in the garden at Cambridge-villa, and I have never seen them from that time till now. We used charcoal and coke in melting it. Two bags were used, one I procured and Pierce the other, which we bought near Wildferness row. The first lot of crucibles (5 or 6) were br.ught in St. John's-square, and they were purchased by me and Pierce. It was proposed to melt the gold into an "iron ingot," which was procured at a jeweller's chop near Clerkenwell Church-yard. I think I purchased it ; it was about 3 feet long, 3 or 4 inches wide, and tapering at the bottom. The melting occun'.ed three or four days. - On the first day Fanny Kay Was not there ; we bad sent her to see the child who wan at nurse, that, she m i g ht be out of the way; she returped at night. The servant girl at the time bad been discharged. On the following day Pierce, came in the morning and assisted me in cutting it up and melting it. Fanny Kay was at home that day and provided dinner for us. She came up to the door, but we refused her admission to the room. The melting created a very great heat. Fanny Kay remarked it, and as we were much heated and in a state of perspiration, it being warm weather, she wished to know what we were about. On one occasion the beat was so great that we bad to pet the fire out. to prevent the house taking fire. In lifting out one of: the crucibles from the fire a fnece -broke and it fell, and part of the gold rau about the filer and burnt it, r.nd the remainder into a tub of water we had . at hand.. Each bar when melted weighed aboutloo ounces as near as possible. The bars so melted I put into a trunk is my bed-room, where it remained a short time, and then it was removed by a horse and cart to Pierce's house, Crown Ter race, Hampstead. It was', however, the same cart we bad on a former occasion, and was hired by Pierce. Tee gold remained there for a short time. I had a quarrel with Fanny Kay, left her, and took lodgings at g.ilhum road, leaving t'no furniture with Vanny ; the lodgings I took were about two miles from Kilburn gate. I went there by the ria:n o of Adams. I went b y that name at Shepherds'-bush, and Fanny Kay as Mrs. Adams. The gold was afterward s removed by two o r three hers at a time, by me anl Pierce, from h is hous e t o my lode;inge, on the Kilb urn - road; Pierce then s hifted his reerdence to Kilburn-villa, and I assisted hint urnitnre.

The game will be played out this week. The Shrews bury Meeting will bring tho legitimate racing season of '56 to a close, and a clear field will be left for the jumpers. Mr. Frail seems determined to wind up the sports with eclat, and be has supplied an amount of racing which would perhaps be impossible in the summer months. The programme, in fact, is not a little puz zling, and I shall be somewhat perplexed to discover the "good things" for which Shrewsbury is notorious. That the meeting will be successful no doubts can be entertained, and all persons who know Mr. Frail and his staff of officials are convinced that the proceed ings will be conducted with due regularity and effi ciency. The acceptances for the different handicap events were not published until Saturday ; the betting brotherhood have, therefore, had no opportunity for the commence went of operations, and in all probability the betting will be confined to the " post," the cautious people wait• ing until the numbers appear on the telegraph board. S.till, even then, they will perhaps be compelled to con duct their epeculations with care, for the proceedings connected with MiFs Harkaway at Hoylake show that the telegraph is not unfrequently used for the purpose of putting horses in the 1 , ole. Berks . To enter into an elaborate discussion of the compa rative chances of the accepted animals in each race would only occupy space unnecessarily, and, in fact, in the absence of all trustworthy information as to the probable starters such a discussion would be simply absurd. I shall briefly express my opinion on those horses that seem " well in" on paper. Twenty-two have accepted for the Shrewsbury Han dicap, and of those I am induced to believe that the most favourably treated are Lord Alfred, Cossey, Imogene, Merlin, and Gaudy. The first-mentioned horse has undeniable speed, but his staying powers are somewhat doubtful. Still his impost is light enough to enable him to "get home," espacially ainortgit the mode rate class of animals which he will encounter. Cossey is slow and game, and, de-pits his 71b extra, his chance is still formidable. Imogene's running at Liverpool would indicate that sbe has lost all form ; still, should she go to the post to-morrow, I shall be disinclined to withhold all confidence from her: Merlin is dangerous, but as I am not acquainted with his owner's "inten tions," I shall not express a decided opinion on his Choh Cleve: Col yer's, 31r. Daere's, Loru Durham County.. chance. Should be start I 41411 not be amongst his op ponents, but in his default I shall look to LORD ALFRED a.,d IMOGENE to pull through. Of the yearlings I know nothing. For the Corporation Piate I shall select Leamington and Poluaoodie. Hopeless Star has certainly bean very leniently ban• dicapped for the Steeplechase, and should she show only an accident ought to " take the shine out of her." Should Lord Alfred and Polinoodie go unpenalised to the poet for the Steward Plate, I shall be inclined t) "stand them" against the field. The Dipthong colt, Vaulter, and Oriando are my " fancies" for the Nursery. A FRESH MAN. lIOYLAKE MEETING. SATURDAY. The Selling Stakes of 3 80V8 each, with 20 added Three-quarters of a mile.

On the return of the Lord Mayor, Mr. Lewis proceeded to cross.exarnine the witness. He said—l have stated all I know about Burgess in connection with the robbery. lam 40 years of age. I am not a forger, nor never forged or uttered a forged instrument. I was convicted on false evidence for ut tering forged instruments. I have received the pro ceed. ofifour or Eve forgeries of bankers' cheques in small amounts. I knew a man of the name of Nash, who was transported. He was an acquaintance ut trine. I never received from him the proceeds of forged checks or bills. I have recAved money from him. Mr. Lewis pressed the witness on these transactions, but he declind answering thEt questions, and appealed to the Lord Mayor. . The Lord Mayor told Cee witness he need not answer the questions if he did r.et like. Witness continued--I have stated what I have done, and I decline to state anything connected with the trans actions alluded I have made false keys for five years past. During the past twelve years I have passed by the naraes of Whitfield, Adams, Agar, Richardson, and Archer. Agar is my real name, but I mostly went by the, name of Archer. I have known Seward six or seveli years, and had many transactions with him by dis counting bills for persons he has intro iuoed to me. The bills so discount:A were tradesmen's bills, and not the result of stolen produce. I read and knew of Seal being in custody for the robbery. I have seen Seal, but I don't know him. He termer!), kept a betting office in Bedford-street. I read Seal's examination in the newspao ers. I did net trouble . my bead about c o mi ng forward.. I looked as it as only a casual matter. Wit ' nests declined to answer how he had obtained his living for the last tea years. I lived in Chiswell-street as a servant, but no robbery took place in the establishment whilst I was there. I never heard till now of 'a robbery having taken place at Mrs. Davis's, where I lived as a servant. I never heard of an action being brought against the foreign railways for this robbery. I have visited America six or seven times during the last ten years. I never took property there for sale.- I have taken bank notes there. By Mr. Bodkin—Seward is about 45 years of age. He is rather stout, and about 5 feet 1 inch or five feet two inches in height. There are two brothers, Henry and James. The man I referred to is called James. He is of a dark complexion, with dark hair. Cross-examination continued—On my return I have brought my money back again, and as much more as I could make. Seward has written ono or two letters for me, but I can't remember on what occasion nor when. I can write myself. After Seward has written the let ters for me I have not been in receipt of money in con seepenca. I and Pierce went to Sterne's and met Burgess, knowing he used the place. I can't say if the meetings were by accident or design. We knew the time Burgess's train would arrive, and we went to Sterne's expecting to see him. Some meetings were by appointment, but it is impossible for toe now to say which and when they were. I always knew the train Burgess was .on. He continued on one train for a month at a time. I have known him to be on a train for two months at a time. The keys were tried seven or eight times before they were found to fit, and it ex pended over a period of probab!y three months. Bur gess was al waye in the van, It was the break van. Sometimes the van was next the tender, and at other times a carriage was between them. The guard in the break van can see through a window in front the engine. man and stoker, but they cannot see into all the vans. The guard carries a light in his van. I think on the night of the robbery the engine-driver and stoker might have looked into the van. We commenced operations as soon as the train started, and bad one of the boxes open when we got to Rygate. We made no loud knocking, and I doubt if they could have heard it. After the was committed I saw nothing of Burgess till the division of the spoil at Pieree'e house at Kilburn. I cannot say how long that was after the robbe;;;;;;;;th:. day of the week on which the division took place. I can't give the month, day, or week when this took p:ace. It must have been shortly before my arrest. Mr. ,Lewis declined further cross-examining the wit ness until a future day, when the boxes in which the gold was packed are to be produced. The witness was re-examined by Mr. Bodkin, and minutely described the formation of the break van and the window in front with the sliding door shutting off the luggage ; the iron safes were placed at the back pat t of the van,' and where the boxes were broken open no one could see it.. On one occasion during that night Burg e a s hung his cape in front of the window. Th N e ' a y ii: tu y il l e i d 47 a , ts a sea re c s h iectable looking female, was next nailed and put into the witness box before Agar left. other and shook hand.., and en Agar's leaviro e followed him out, of the court and re mained a eeee4e;.

THE PANAMA ROUTE.—A further illustration, such as those repeatedly presented during; thethe pact four or five years, of the superiority of the Panama route for com munication with Australia was afforded on Satur day, in the Melbourne dates received by La Piata. They teach to the 2d of September, or about four weeks later than the previous advices. Neither letters nor papers have come to hand containing any very full in formation, len r 'appears probable that the value of the extraordinary gold field alleged by the last accounts to have been discovered in New South Wales must have been to some extent confirmed, since it is reported that the masters of vessels at Sydney were unable to obtain crows owing to the departure of the men to that dis trict, and also that it was attracting increasing MM. hers from the old gold fields in the neighbouring coiony of Victoria. The Lightning is said to have sailed from Melbourne with a large amount of gold about the 25th of August, in which case she is 82 days nut. THM AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—PLYMOUTH, Saturday.— On the oecasiuu of the departure. of the feet ship of the line, the Istamboul, belonging to the Australian Auxi liary Steam Clipper Con ipany, the directors visited this port and were entertain ed at an impromptu dinner last evening by the .director s of the Plymouth Great Western Dock Company, at th e Globe Hotel, when the usual toasts were given. A eriong the guests were Mr. B tylie, wt., sailed from Pt' /mouth in 1338 as surgeon of the emigrant ship Alfrei i, and who is now returning to the eidoey. This gent lemen settled at Geelong, where be amassed a fortune, and has twice filled the civic chair ; be spoke in confide int terms of the intention of the colo nists now to dein Jt.g3 their labours more especially to the cultivation of ti le soil, and expressed himself satisfied with the benel cm' results that will accrue both to the colony and the parent country. Mr. Gooch, the chair man of the cot opany, stated in the course of his speech that the Istam boul has 1,600 tons of cargo, which, at the rate of Si.. , would give 4,8001., and that the receipts from paaseree ere amounted to 1,800/, ; these sums are expected to d, efray the expense of the voyage, and leave the hinnewar:ei receipts for profit. Tho Istamboul sailed after b o'cic .ele this evening direct for Melbourne.. 'The 48 " ship, the Indomitable, is appointed to leave the Thame s on the 31st of December, and Plymouth on the of Jam eiry.
