DOCKYARDS.—TnE FOREMEN'S GRATUITY.—The Admiralty have awarded Mr. Monday, of Woolwich Dockyard, and Mr. James Creed, of Devonport Dock yard, foremen of shipwrights the annual 501. gratuity for their zeal, activity , and ability in the public service during the past year. This gratuity, we may remark, creates more heart-burning throughout the dockyard than any other obnoxious and invidious regulation; and the sooner it is abolished and the money absorbed in the salary of the senior foremen of each establishment, the Ripon, ip on, better.—United Service Gazette. We are sorry to add , that Mr. Creed died on Friday last at his residence. Devonport, after a very short illness.

WOOLWICH, 'MAY 10.—Commander Horatio Blair (1841) to the Coast Guard. Tao Antelope, 3, iron paddle wheel steam packet, ar rived at Woolwich on Friday afternoon from the Me diterranean station, and is to be paid off at this port in the latter part of next week, having been in commission since the 27th of July, 1847. Immediately after her arrival she went down the river again to enable Mr. Trickett, assistant to the chief engineer, to report the state of her engines. The vessel and crew were in greeted to-day by Commodore Henry Eden, an d she now remains under the sheers preparatory to being di muntled and paid off. The Brisk, 14, screw steam-sloop, building at Wool wich, has had her ways laid down preparatory to her being launched in the course of the latter part of the pre sent month. The day day is not yet fixed, but it is ex- Feaedit will be on the 28th or 30th inst. Tee Feizi Saari, Turkish war-steamer, was taken under the sheers at the west end of the yard, and bad her intermediate shaft taken out, and it has been conveyed to Messrs. Maudalay, Son, and Field, the makers of the engines, to have the crank of the shaft repaired. [PRICE SD. thought ' generally Y f speaking too little attention was paid that body.—(H e ar.)

There could be no doubt that those who had embarked in this cause of social improvement had, up to The present time, done so with the view of benefiting the majority of the people. The Noble Lord continued at some length to enforce the necessity of improvement with regard to the religious and moral% condition of a large portion of the people, as the only means of giving a tone to the character of the other por tion of the public—stating that it could be hardly esti mated how close the political and social condition of the people were conjoined together. He believed that a groat deal had been done by that association to improve the condition and habits of the people, and he therefore had great pleasure in proposing " A long life and effi ciency to the Sanitary Association."—(Cheers.) Mr. MONCHTON MILNES proposed " The health of their Noble Chairman." ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The first match this season of the Royal London Yacht Club came off on Saturday last, the course being, as usual, from Blackwell Reach, round a flag-boat moored off Gravesend, and back to the starting point. The contest was for the Challenge Cup, presented to the club by Mr. J. T. Hewes, which was won last year by the Frolic, belonging to Mr. A. Cox. It was a time match; yachts exceeding ten tons allowing a minute to all not exceeding that tonnage, and half a minute to those exceeding it; yachts under ten tons allowing half a minute to those of lesser tonnage. The morning was beautifully fine, and the temperature genial, so that it would have been surprising indeed if there had not been a large muster of the members of the club and their friends (amongst whom were a large number of ladies) to witness the match. The party ac companied the yachts in the Meteor steam-boat, on board which every arrangement (including the engage ment of the Royal Artillery band) had been made for their comfort, convenience, and enjoyment. Several yachts belonging to members of the club, including the commodore's yacht Avalon, were cruising about the river, their graceful forms, light and fragile rigging, and spotless canvass, flitting to and fro in the bright sun shine, and bending gracefully to the fresh breeze, con trasting strongly with the heavier and more sombre looking vessels of our warlike or mercantile marine, and certainly, as we thought, harmonising much better, in this " merry month of May," with the picturesque scenery with which either bank of the Thames abounds. Seven yachts had been entered for the match, but only six came to " the starting post," a point in Blackwell reach, a few hundred yards above the railway pier. They took their places in the following order, beginning from the Blackwell side of the river:— Traveller lO tons Mr. G. H. Jackson, owner Whisper l9 „ Mr. Thos. Eveleigh „ Mazeppa l2 „ Mr. Chas. Bromley ~ Phantom 2l „ Mr. Samuel Lane „ Frolic ....... Mows l5 „ Mr. G. E. Brown 19 The start, which took place about twenty minutes past eleven tie g atm o y 'cl ti o r o s k t. , wsa She a e a d v i e d r y ne g t o , o d h o o w n e e v , e t r h , e l e M n g a z r e e p t p s a i ngteht e first position, as the Frolic led round the point, pretty closely followed by the Phantom and Whisper. As the wind at starting was a few points to the east of north (blowing freshly), the qualities of the boats for beating to windward, rather than for " going free," were dis played in the early part of the match. Of course these are the circumstances under which the seamanship of the crews would be most tested. Aa far as we could judge, and we believe also in the opinion of others better fitted than we are to judge of matters nautical, they one and all acquitted themselves in a most creditable manner. During this part of the match the Phantom (which soon passed the Frolic) had considerably the advantage. Off North Woolwich, however, the Pea.k halyards of the Phantom gave way, and the tinie er lo ro st o i r n e refitting of course threw her far into the rear n kept the lead until the veering t of h h d the char alteration in the course of the rive!, c a g immediate rivals. The Frolic then b e c a me n o d f fi andsl' and e eco t n im d es place. The fol -ng," she wh " running " rather than " beating , passing her in Gal upon hor rival, and suc9ed dn Increasing y her lead from lion's-reach, and in c" " n a a tiOn of the match.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. • Capital-500, 0001 . (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Yid., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true• rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ,)roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or system aticall y applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured.will determine the true Premium equitably asiyable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as tire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his-Interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination Of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analya - of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Pretinium as the ' nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to entorpto arrange. ments as regards tariffs with other offices. •',-, With this view an annual investigation will be iiita e into each fin t class of risk, and a return of o ne moiety, or flay per " .of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers wh Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by tilts Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 35. per cent, without the Average Clause.

Soyer—the wines were unexceptionable, the champagne bier: frappi, and all the accessories in excellent taste. Mr. Harker officiated as toast-master. The Noble CHAIRMAN gave " The Health of her Mas jesty the Queen," " His Royal Highness Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family," adverting to the great interest his Royal Highness had always taken in promoting the sanitary improvement of the dwellings of the working classes. "'she Church," which was re sponded to by the Bishop of Riper —" The Army and Navy," responded to by Dr. Gilchrist. The CHAIRMAN sad—My Lords nod Gentleman, in yoer attention to the present sentees, I feel that there is eat.) thing above all others I ought to bear in mind, and that is, to commit no trespass against the re cognised lava of health. Now an address after dinner of undue length would, I am convinced, undoubtedly bo such a trespass—(A laugh)—bad, perhaps, for the diges tion and elmost dangerous, and on the part of those who hear it, calculated to disturb that placidity of temper which we are told ought to follow, especially upon such a meal as that of which we have just partaken.—(Hear, hear.) I think we shall find in Shakspere, who always hits the right nail on th e head, that the true thing to wish for on these occasions is " may good digestion wait on appetite and health on both."—(Cheers.) I feel, moreover, that it is not for me to impress on such a company as this, which, by its very presence, gives an assurance of its own conviction, the importance and digeity of what is called the sanitary cause— (Cheers) ---a cause which has its business with deaths that may be prevented—(Hear, hear) — since, as we know, in districts where from accident more favourable sanitary condition exists, these deaths do not occur—(clear) --with deaths arising from epidemic end contagious diseases, which amount to some 50,000 in the course of every year—(Hear)—with deaths consequently outstripping in numbers the carnage of the most destruc tive campaigns and the most protracted wars—with deaths, moreover, which strikes down those whom our modern warfare especially saves, and cats off one-half in some districts of all who are born before they reach five years ur t_ o le or a in fine, which threaten all, whofi the many walks of humble eewi dcheers.) Such a cause as this is surely one of i those t h deaths, a importance, which we should do all we can to ibes.especially t increase in the appreciation of all classes. I have alluded to the claims and the dangers of humble labour. Wo have, indeed, close to where we sit, a remarkable build ing, which is in itself a shrine of labour, but while we gaze on the large area of its vast extent, on the won drous results of its harmonious and completed combina tions, on all their gorgeous magnificence, let us not refrain from tracing them back to that crowded workshop, that damp cellar, and that stifling garret, in which so much of that col lected mass of ingenuity and splendour has been elaborated.—(Loud cheers.) Anti we shall derive, perhaps, not the least precious lesson which the Crystal Palace itself, in all its complicated maturity, and in all its glittering.nuity, eon tranaferring our care from the work to the workmen, wherever it may be his lot to weave the slender thread or guide the ductile metal, we study as best we can to surround the scene of his daily labour with some portion of the decencies, the comforts, and the enjoyments with which he so plenti fully enriches our own.—(Loud cheering) There is too much reason to fear that the stimulus of drink is often resorted to us a diversion to the depressing effects of an uncleanly house or a polluted atmosphere.—(Hear, hear.) And it is well known that the typhus fever se lects a large proportion of its victims from among the adult population, and in the full vigour of bodily labour. —(Hear, hear.) And, if I may borrow another hint from the immediate subject under discussion, and the place in which we are mot, and the recollection of which, if I may so speak, must still linger on your palates—(Cheers and a laugh)—.l would beg to re mark that nothing can be so little sanitary as bad cookery.—(Great laughter.) I am not without reverence for the substantial and invigorating qualities of our old English fare, but I think we should be carrying the spirit of nationality very far if we did not admit that with respect to our culinary character we are somewhat has upo n e a r e o a a d r y e - a r d e m all i y ra t h b le ink dis b p:si ma tio y n t d o o ente deficient in variety and resources.—(Hear, hear.) And I would observe that our worthy host here, M. Soyer, e d r i a la w 3' h e i d ch an l sub stantial service, if, besides exercising these more recon dite mysteries, which qualify him to take his place with Vete', Ude, and Careme, he should communicate to our English kitchens some of those arts which would render them at once more cheap and more versatile than they have hitherto been.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") I believe it will be found an almost unfailing rule that the best articles and the beat methods are in the long run the most economical. And if this were .the fitting opportunity I believe it could be satisfactorily shown that the sanitary cause rests its claim to public support as triumphantly upon the ground of financial and econo mical reform as upon any other. After some further remarks, the Noble Chairman gave " The Metropolitan Sanitary Commissioners." Tho toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. Lord R. GROSVENOR said—Gentlemen, some twenty years ago I joined that almost forlorn hope, the So ciety of Metropolitan Improvement. This I may' say, was really a forlorn hope at that time, for we had to at take a frightful mass of evil, ' w hi c h we have been gra dually overcoming over since. However, lam happy to say, in the language of the lawyers, that there is Another gentleman about to follow on my side who really has taken upon himself the principal burden of the acting committee of this association, I mean the Rev. Mr. Herne, who is much more able than I ern to throw some light on, and to give some notion of the proceedings of this society. Before I will permit him to follow nee, as I am senior in the case, I beg to be permitted to say a few words in reference to the immediate question before us. I say that, viewing the state of things as they existed twenty years ago, and as they now are, I must be permitted to congratulate you on the position you now occupy. You have obtained the prohibition of Parliament to intramural interments. Do not then say that this society has been called together for no purpose. You have obtained the abolition of the in come-tax—(Loud laughter)—l mean you have ob tained the abolition of the window-tat.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, you are very powerful, but I do not suite think that you have arrived at the amount of steam power which I had attributed to you when I said that you have obtained the abolition of the income-tax. It was a lapses linguce. But you have accomplished, after all, that which is more important as regards sanitary matters —I mean the abolition of the window-tax.—(Cheers.) You have, .besides that, obtained the prospect of a eon tinuous supply: of good and wholesome water; and I trust that we shall not be disappointed in our expesta dons upon this head —namely, a continuous supply of the purest water to the poorest classes in the metropolis. And you have nearly obtained another thing, and I trust we shall get it; but, to follow the shim of Lord Castlereagh, " We should not holloo until we are out of the woods' I refer to the abolition of one of the greatest nuisances we have to complain of in this town. I hope that you sill obtain this boon—that the decent and respectable lan guage of the cattle-drivers shall not be any longer heard in the streets of this m etropolis—(Cheers)—that that, agreeable titillation which is applied to the unfortunate animals that are driven to Smithfield shall not be per mitted any longer—that that:peculiar perfume which is engendered by the congregation of so much cattle shall be removed—and that the sewers of the citizens Lear that locality shall be no longer overpowered by the filth that is distributed in the immediate vicinity of Smithfield Market. All these advantages you have obtained, or nearly obtained; but you have, not quite obtained all yet. There is something still to be sought after. I do offer you mysincere congratula tions upon the altered position in which you now stand to that which you occupied when I first joined your association. The Noble Lord concluded by w i s hi n g every success to the Metropolitan Sanitary Associa tion.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. HUME also ackeowledged the toast. Lord CARLISLE then gave " Tho Sanitary Reformers in Parliament." Viscount EBRINGTON would not say he wished the duty of responding to the toast had fallen upon a greater veteran in the service, for although Lord Robert Gros venor had said th twenty years ago he had joined societies established for the purpose of sanitary reform; he believed be might say, that prior to the year 1641, iho year in which he first entered Parliament, the cause of sanitary reform could not be considered to have be come a Parliementary question. Although allusion was made in the reports relating to the factory question. and the papers connected therewith, to the health of factory workers and their dwellings, all of which re marks originated in the almost prophetic sagacity of that invaluable friend of his whose name was almost indissolubly bound up with sanitary reform (he meant Mr. Chadwick). and although in some of the poor-law reports remarks were to be found, indeed ho might say, very elaborate reports, by Dr. Southwood Smith and others, of tho amount of preventable diseese and: death arising from want of proper drainage, and although calculations had been actually made as to the cost of the requisite alterations, yet he believed that previous to the completion of the inquiry into the sanitary condition of the metropolis, and indeed of the whole kingdom of Great Britain (he feared Ire land was not included), which was instituted by the Bishop of London in 1839, he believed, ho said, that prior to that inquiry no view had been presented to Parliament of sanitary reform as a social and religious question. He believed that until that time the public had not been made aware that pestilent* and death— the great check to population—were two of the greatest scourges under which the labouring and industrial classes of the population were suffering, and were two of the main causes of distress among those classes. Until then they did not seem to be aware, or the fact had not struck them, that next to a criminal population the most expensive was a diseased population. He said that since he entered Parliament a mighty change had been effected throughout the civilised world in the view taken of this question. He duly appreciated the difficulty in which the Government was placed.• He admitted that to deal with the " august monopolies," and the " concentrated ignorance," strong pressure from without was required; but he could not help reminding gentlemen present that they were the Metropolitan Sanitary Reform Association, and that it was from them that the necessary pressure must come, and such a pressure, moreover, as would cause this me tropolis to be dealt with in the same manner in which less important places were dealt with. To effect the thorough drainage of this metropolis he thought was im possible while the duty was entrusted to a large and no- I plid body of commissioners, who as long as they were unpaid, and had other business to attend to, would never execute what was required from them. A regular mid body was necessary for this; and also, he might aid, that until the privilege of supplying this great city with water was pieced upon such a footing that it was no longer in the hands of persons who could make it a commercial speculation, he feared ant even a paid board could do nothing. In conclusion, the Noble Lord thpialLed the company in the names of the sanitary re formqrs in Parliament, and begged to aseuro them that he for one, so long as he rernainad a Member of Parliament, would do his duty in the cause which they had met to commemorate. Tao Nob'a Lord sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. CHARLES DICKENS, in proposing " The Board of Health," said ho was placed in that awkward position which involved the necessity (if ho faced the chairman) of turning his back upon the company; and if he faced the company he must necessarily turn his back upon the Noble Chairman—(Laughter) — but as the company formed the majority, he thought, with the chairman's permission, he should pursue the wisest course by turn ing to the more numerous body, especially as he thought that course would be most acceptable to the chairman himself. Few were the words which were left for him to say to them, either upon the need there was for sani tary reform, or as to the usefulness of the Metropolitan Association. No man could estimate the amount of mis chief which was born of dirt ; no man could say it stopped here or there in its morel or physical effscts, when both were begun in the cradle and were not at rest in the miserable grave.—(Bear, hear.) The air that was generated in Gin-lane would be carried by a stray wind into May-fair ; and when pestilence raged in St. Giles's no list of lady patronesses, however long, could keep it out of Almack's.—(Hear, hear.) Twelve or fifteen years ago, some of the valuable reports of Mr. Chadwick and Dr. Southwood Smith much enlarged his (Ur. Dickens's) previously imperfect knowledge of those truths, and made him earnest in his sphere of helping on the sanitary cause. He could honestly declare that all the use ho had since made of his eyes and nose—(Laughter)—had only strengthened his con victions that a searching sanitary reform must precede all other remedies, and that even religion could ,do nothing until the way was paved by cleanliness and de cency.—(Cheers.) He did not want authority for that opinion. The speech of the Right Rev. Prelate (the Bishop of Ripen), who was a true sanitary reformer, they could have thirdly listened to without emotion. Of what utility was it to send missionaries to masses of miserable men and women condemned to live, degraded and filthy in their persons and habits, in the most wretched holes and dens? Putting himself in the posi tion of one of those poor benighted and neglected persons he would ask what natural chord of feeling remained in his bosom? Was it the remembrance of his children? That remembrance was of sickness, distortions, scrofula, and fever. Had it reference to his hopes, his latent hops, of immortaliy ? He was so surrounded with material filth, that his soul could not rise to the contem plation of immortality. Or, supposing he was a mise rable child, bred and nurtured in some noisome place, and admitted in these better days into a ragged school, what could the few hours' teaching that they gave him even there do for him against the force of the vicious and ever-renewed example of his whole existence.-- (Hear, hear.) Give him his first glimpse of heaven through a little of its light and air. —(Loud cheers.) Give him water—help him to be clean; lighten this heavy atmosphere in which his spirit flagged, and in which he became the indifferent and callous creature that they saw him. Gently and kindly take the deco body of his relation out of that close room in which he grew to be so familiar with the change of death, that even its sanctity was lost amid the surrounding filth and squalor, and then he would listen—oh, how wiliingly— or Hire whose thoughts were so much with the poor, and who had compassion for all of human suffering.— (Applause.) The toast he (Mr. Dickens) had to pro pose was, the health of those without whose assistance that which was so much to be desired could never be carried into effect. His toast was " The Board of Health," and while recommending this toast to their notice he would make a passing allusion to the transparent palace so near them, which was an illustration of the fact that no groat thing no ever be done without a quantity of abuse and a number of absurd rumours being heaped upon it. They had, no doubt, all heard of that unfor tunately always-in-difficulties and never-to-be-too much-respected lady, and his very old friend, " the unprotected Female. —(Laughter.) At a family dinner party, where he last heard from that venerated lady, she was seriously alarmed for the sparrows in that certain casks of gunp owder had been smuggled into Mth r e . P E a x x h t oibni'tsi Exhibition a s u s glass-palace, a r e, for she mysteriously hinted th e semblance of coffee. — (Laughter.) Those dark lints of the old lady wore very much of a piece with the names which had been applied to the Board of Health. That Board had been called a Board of " centralization," and, therefore, it was con demned. He thought that in the time of the cholera the public had a pretty good opportunity of judging between this so-called centralization and what he might, he thought, call " vettrylizetion."—(Loud laughter.) He dared to say that the company present had read the re ports of the Cholera Board of Health, and he dared to say they had also read reports of certain vestries. — (Laughter.) He had the honour of belonging to a con stituency which elected that amazing body—the Mary lebone Vestry—(Laughter)—and he thought that if! the company present would look to what was done by the Board of Health at Glasgow, and then contrast those proceedings with the wonderful cleverness with which affairs were managed at the same period in the parish of Marylebone, there would be very little difficulty in judg ing between them. His (Mr. Dicken's) pet vestry even took upon itself to deny the existence of cholera as a weak invention of the enemy (Loud laughter)—and although that stout denial had, unfor tunately, had no effect in stopping the ravages of the pestilence, still it would now serve as an example to show gentlemen what was the meaning of " vestryliza tion "as distinguished from "centralization." There was another word, also, which had been used in accus ing the Board of Health—he meant "delay." In this accusation there might be some truth; but he would, just in defence of the Board, suggest to them a case somewhat in point. Let them suppose a good chorno meter, which would not go when its master forgot to wind it up. Now ho thought the Board of Health was in a somewhat similar predicament; there was all the anxious desire to " go," all the machinery was in per fect order, but the machine could not be put in motion from the fact that its gentle lord and master had fallen into a slumber, and forgot to wind it up. Lord R b. Grosvenor had alluded to a saying of Lord Crtlerecg at " Do not halloo until you; ar e out of thewpo'' Ttent would make a capital adage for sanitarytntthe Woods—and reformers. them not halloo before they wereout Health was in the Forests.—(Laughter.)

He would not dilate upon these exertions, but he would refer to the reports which had emanated from the Board of Health, to show the interests which they had taken in promoting the best in terests of the people.—(Cheers.) He had for many years studied the reports upon there subjects with the greatest interest, rind he must admit that he was Intr. prised to find the little attention which was paid to the reports of Dr. Southwood Smith and others relative to them.—(Hear, hear.) He was:pleased by the mention w hich had been made by the Board of Health. because be The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks. The SECRETARY then announced a number of sub scriptions to the association, amounting to about 3001., including Lord Robert Grosvenor, 251., and the ch3ir mati 101. 103. _ _ Mr. GEORGE CRUIHSHA.NK proposei "The health of he visitors," and tir.

G y D a I rIS W T e s t R I O n d ß i a n Al E a t O b L e D R 0 - ROBBER Lam-packet longing to By the arrival of the Great Western steam-ship, be- Cornpsny, a few days since at the port of Southampton, an immense quantity of gold from California was brought to this country, and which was consigned to the Bank of England, The gold, principally dust, was enclosed in tin canisters, which were again enclosed in small wooden boxes, about 18 inches long, 7 or 8 inches broad, and 6 deep, the average weight of each box being half a cwt. On Thursday 157 of these boxes were un shipped from the Great Western, and placed in four railway trucks by the servants of the Southampton docks, and the packing superintended by officials of the Weit India Mail Company, and two clerks, as under stood by the informant, attached to the Bank of Eng land. The four trucks were pro?erly " sleeted" and made secure before leaving the Deck Company's pre mises, and before they were attached to the ordinary goods train for London, they were separately placed on the weighing bridge at the Southampton station of the South-Western Railway, the weight of each being taken. Tho usual time for the goods up-trein starting was eight o'clock, but frets some delay it did not leave Southampton until nine o'clock. It is customary when property of a valuable description is not insured and taken by the ordinary goods trains, for the per sons who are acting as agents for the owners or con signees to ride in the trucks containing the property. This custom, however, was departed from by the four gentlemen who were in charge of the gold-dust amounting in value, it is said, to a million and a half, and they occupied a first class carriage, which was next to trucks containing the treasure. These gentleman were—Mr. Beard, Mr. Beardmore, Mr. Winohip, and a Mr. Quirk. Two of the gentlemen are clerks in the Bank of England, and Mr. Winohip has been for eight or nine years past frequently intrusted with the convey ance of very valuable property. It had been remarked as a singular fact that the parties in charge of the four trucks were most pressing on the guard and his breaks man to go and get something to drink at the different stations which the train stopped at, commencing with Bishopstocke, six miles from Southampton. The guard did have, as also his breaksmen, something to drink at Basingstoke, and at a station some further distance on, but both men were sober when the train arrived at Nine Elms, which was about three o'clock on Friday morning. Between five and six o'clock the same morning Mr. Thorne, the night superintendent of the goods traffic, found that three of the boxes containing the gold-dust were missing, and the aid of the local police was called in, and Thomas Bent, a detective constable of, the metropolitan police, but attached solely to the South-Western Railway, was soon upon the spot. The boxes missing were severally marked—the first, " B." en the top, and " N.M.R." on the bottom, and weighed 531 b, •, the second was marked " C. M." upwards, and " J. J. C." underneath—this box weighed 3elb. 120 z.; the third box had written on it " D. Dunbar and Son," had no weight marked, but was valued at 6,500 dolls. After the gold had been removed from the truck whence the boxes were supposed to have been taken, the truck was loaded with iron to the same weight as the gold taken out, and Mr. Bent, Mr. Thorne, and Sergeant Eastman, of the V division, took the truck by special engine to Southampton, where it was put upon the weighing-bridge, and the weights tallied, thus prov ing incontestably that the three boxes of gold-dust were not in the truck when it left Southampton, or there would have been a deficiency. They then returned to London, and information was sent to all the stations between Nine Elms and Southampton to search the intervening spaces, and at a late hour on Friday night information was received that the box directed to " D. Dunbar anti Son" had been discovered by a boy on the bank of the railway near Winchester station, and unopened, and that a man was in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the stealing of it. On Saturday, William Plankin, a middle-aged and respectably attired man, who described himself as a tailor, living in Earl-street, Soho, WAS taken before the Mayor and several other magistrates at Winchester Town-hall;lMr. Crombie appearing for the South-Western Railway Company, and Mr. Duffel!, the superintendent at the Southampton-docks, was also in attendance. The evidence given was to the effect that on Friday afternoon a boy, the son of a licensed victualler, whose house is near the Winchester station, was looking for birds' nests on the railway bank near the station, when he discovered the box partly hid by a bush. He took it home, and his father wont with him to the station, and Gradidge, the railway policeman, suggested that a watch should be kept near the spot, which was done, end as late as half-past 11 o'clock that night the prisoner came to the spot, and the constable took him into custody. Tho box had not been replaced, and when the prisoner was asked why he was there, he said he had lost his way in going to the station. On being questioned by Inspector Field, one of the detective officers, who is specially employed in this mysterious affair by the South Western Railway Com pany, ho said he lived in Earl-street, Soho, and which I has subsequently proved so be correct; that he was a tailor, arid came down to Winchester by the train which l eave s Waterloo station at 1 P.N.; but it was proved at the examination he was seen in Winchester before the arrival of that train. Ile said his object was to look for work, but he had not asked a single person, although he went to the public-house kept by the boy's father who found the box, where he partook of bread and cheese, and afterwards to another inn, where ho had a chop, and said he bad unfortunately lost the 2 o'clock up , -.rain- but there is no train leaves Winchester at that hour. Tho prisoner declared his innocence before the Mayor, who considered the circumstances sufficiently suspicious to remand him. A large body of the city detective police are posted on the various roads leading from Sauthampton and other places to prevent, if possible, any of the missing property finding its way to the metropolis through that channel. - - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
