CREST. .AL PALACE. Another phase in the capabilities of this magnificent building was developed on Saturday by the inauguratio❑ of the first poultry exhibition—the most perfect, we be lieve, ever yet seen in England. The show consisted of 1,05 5 pens of bhols, including fowl, ducks, geese, turkeys, an guinea fowl, ranged under 59 classes. There were 7 classes of pigeons and nine of rabbits. The show of g ame birds was unusually good. The first prize -bird in the class of game cooks was awarded to Mr. Sewell, of Bridgwater, Somerset, and its price marked at 101. 103. Th e second prize was awarded to a remarkably fine bird, the property of Mr. W. M. de Rothschild, of Gutmersbury Park. Next to the game birds the Dor kings deserve notice. They were divided iota the white and coloured varieties, and some magnificent birds were shown in each of the classes. The principal exhibitors of the Dorking were Lady Eleanor Cathcart, Lady Dacre, Lady Margaret Macdonald, Lord R. Grosvenor, Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Captain Squire, and the Rev. John Farmer. The coloured Dorkings formed a very excellent class, and a cock and two pullets, eight months old, be longing tp Mr. Wakefield. of the Malvern Hills, were most remarkable specimens of early maturity. The Cochin Chinas, classed according to colour, were toler ably good and sufficientlynumerous, there being 127 pens, A cock and two pullets, exhibited by the Rev. G. F. Hodson, of North Petherton, hatched last April, were Priced at 501. Mr. Rothschild appeared desirous of hav ing the honour of asking the highest price for his bird, having marked two pens of cinnamon and buff Cochin at 5001. the pen. This fancy price was, however, topped by Mr. John Wood, of Dorking, who marked his pen of three white Dorkings at 1,000/. ; and two pens of game birds, shown by the Rev. Thomas Lyon Fellowes, were also ticketed at 1,0001. the pen ; one of gold and one of silver pencilled Homburgs, oae of golden spangled, one of silver spangled Hamburge, one of silver spangled pul lets, and one of Hamburg cocks, were also priced at 1,0001. each ; so that the value set upon this score of birds was sot less than 8,0001. The Spanish fowls were unusually good, espe cially the young birds, and the pen shown by Miss Rake, of Brandon-hill, Bristol, to which the first prize was awarded, consisted of three fault less fowls, remarkable for their high condition, beauty of plumage and purity of breed. The first prize for a Spanish cock was given to Master Rake, and it has the honour, it would appear, of being the sire of the youthful trio in the previous class. The different classes of Hamburga are well represented, there being 149 specimens, many of them of rare beauty ; one pen of young silver pencilled, belonging to Mrs. Henry Sharp, of Mill-lane, Bradford, the winner of the first prize, was exceedingly pretty. There were 108 pens of the different varieties of Polish fowl, which attracted a very large share of the attention of the visitors, on account of their magnificent tufts, some of which were of unusual size. The show of geese, though not numerous, was very good, and the finer specimens exhibited that rotundity of form and general symmetry which it is so desirable to witness. The ducks, especially the Aylesburys, were good, and there were some magnificent turkeys —among others, a cock and two hens, shown by the Rev. Thomas Fellowes, of Beighton Rec'ory, deserved the prize awarded to them. The pigeons formed a very interesting feature of the show, and included pouters, carriers, dragons, almond tumblers, short-faced mottoleq, short-faced baldheads, abort-faced beards, short-faced tumblers, jacobines, owls, nuns, turbits, fantails, barbs, magpies, trumpeters, large Spanish runts, large Leghorn runts, porcelains, and other varieties known to fanciers. There was a novel feature in the show in the presence of rabbits, many of which were of the highest order, and attracted the greatest attention. Mr. Houghton had the superintend ence of the show, which was most admirably conducted, and we believe there is no judge who will disagree with regard to the decisions of the judges, who warded the prizes as follow : POULTRY.

There were,a variety of others highly commended, and the exhibition, which will -be continued to-day, to morrow, awl Wednesday, was eminently aucces.ful. The regular Saturday concerts were continued,. hut, notwithstanding Madame itwierc`lolT "'I as enehantin4 ae - ever, the attractions of the poultry show proved too much for the Lou2ical eoterteinmeut. Naval and Military inteiligence. An order has been received at Chatham for the fol lowing regiments to be forthwith completed to their full establishment—viz.:-26th Cameronians, 27th Enni, kittens, the 37th Regiment, and 87th Royal Irish Fusi; leers. The Duke of Cambridge has authorised the transfer of a number of soldiers belonging to the 34th Regiment to the 26th, 35th, and 81st depots, at the Provisional Battalion, Chatham. _ _ Second-class Staff Surgeon J. Ewing has been relieved from medical duty at Chatham, for the purpose of proceeding to Dublin to join the 95th Regiment. Staff Assistant-Surgeon C. E. Le Febvre has likewise received directions to leave Chatham and proceed to Newcastle, where he will perform medical duty with the depot of the 85th Light Infantry. The screw steamship Cornwallis, 60, Capt. R. A. Powell, and the frigate Mander, 44, Capt. the Hon. J. R. Drummond, are appointed to leave Hamoaae tc-day for Plymouth Sound. The crew of the frigate Eagle, 50, Capt, H. A. Story, at Devonport, got up lower yards and topmasts on Saturday. These ships are all in the Coastguard service. Retired Rear-Admiral Robert Henley Rogers died at Plymouth on Thursday. This officer entered the navy in the spring of 1796 as first-class volunteer on board the Concorde, 36, Capt. Anthony Hunt, whom he followed, in August of the same year. into La Virginie, 38. After cruising on the Irish and Baltic stations he sailed for the East Indies, where from September, 1798, until his return to England in April, 1803, he served on board the Suffolk and Victorious, 74's, flagships of Vice-Admiral Peter Rainier, and the Orpheus, 32, comma.,,de i by the late Hon. Chas. Elphinstone Fleem ing. Of the latter ship he was confirmed a lieutenant, after having acted for more than 13 months in that capacity, Feb. 4, 1803. His succeeding appointments were—May 14, 1803, to the Impetueux, 74, Capt. I'. B. Martin, attached to the Channel fleet; Feb. 21, 1805, to the Drake, 16, Capt. Drury, with whom he proceeded to the West Indies; May 23 an d D ec. 2 following, to the Penguin, sloop, Capt. G. Morris, and Hercule, 74, flag ship of Rear-Admiral J. R. Dacres, on the same station; June 18, 1806, to the Veteran, 64, as signal-lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Dacres ; Sept. 14, 1807, to the acting command of the Hunter, sloop; March 4, 1808, as before to the Veteran; and June 17, 1809, as senior (after 10 months of halt-pay) to the Rhin, 38, Capt. C. Malcolm. For his active services in the last-mentioned ship in the Channel and on the north coast of Spain he was pro moted on the Ist February, 1812, to the rank of com mander. His last appointment was to the Dover troop ship, the command of which he retained from the 30th July, 1814, until the 6th August, 1816. During that period, besides visiting the West Indies and the Baltic, he accompanied the expedition against New Orleans, where he served on shore in the breaching batteries and in command of a body of seamen, and was particularly noticed for his exertions by Sic E. T. Troubridge. He attained the rank of captain on the 2d of September, 1816, and accepted the retirement on the first of Octo ber, 1846. On the 11th of June, 1851, he was placed on the list of retired rear-admirals. Several extensive improvements and alterations are being carried out ix Chatham Dockyard, which, when completed, will make that establishment the most com modious Government dockyard in the kingdom. One of the principal improvements now in progress is at No. 7 granite slip, which is to be lengthened 60 feet, giving a length of 330 feet. In order to give a solid foundation to sustain the immense weights which will be laid on this slip, an immense number of piles have been driven, on which is laid a bed of concrete 15 feet in depth to receive the granite floor. The width of this slip will be 80 feet. The roof is of galvanised iron supported on iron columns. No. 2 dock is also in course of being lengthened to 360 feet, and will be the largest dock of any belonging to the naval establish ments. Considerable difficulties have been experienced during the progress of this work by the constant break ing in of the water, to remedy which two powerful pumps have been erected, which discharge four tons of water per minute day and night. A new workshop for the convicts has been erected at the eastern end of the dock yard, 240 feet in length and 30 feet in width, contiguous to which is a double range of buildings for cement milk, the machinery for which will be erected this week. The whole of the above works are being carried out by Messrs. J. and C. Rigby, of Westminster. A new police station is also being built by Messrs. Foord and Sons, who have just completed a Suppling kiln, in which the timber used in the dockyard will be steeped. The station formerly used by the dockyard force has been removed to make room for the improvements in progress. A new 36-gun frigate, to be called the Mersey, has been commenced at Chatham D..ckyard. She is laid down in the new slip from which the Etna floating battery was launched some time since. The Mersey will be one of the longest frigates in the service, it being intended to construct her upwards of 300 feet in length. The Racoon, - 21, one of the new description of screw corvettes now being built at Chatham, is progressing very fast, a n d i s expecte d to be ready for launching e in the ensuing spring. This vessel and her sister ship, the Charybdis, 21, will be fitted with machinery of 400- horse power. Her Majesty's steam vessel Antelope arrived at Ports mouth yesterday from Woolwich. Her Majesty's steam troop ship Simoom, 18, Com mander Cooke, h a d h er compasses adjusted in Ports mouth harbour on Saturday. Her Majesty's paddle frigate Furious, 12, was taken out of dock at Portsmouth after repairs on Saturday, and into the steam basin, to complete her refit. The Trident, 6, Commander Ciose, and the Meteor, steam-battery, were removed from the fitting basin at Portsmouth on Saturday. The Bulldog, 6 guns, paddle wheel steam ship, Com mander A. C. Gordon, arrived at Sheerness yesterday, at 11 a.m., from the North Sea, last from Hull. The Bull dog was sent from Sheerness in company with the Sara mander, 6 guns, paddlewheel steamsloop, Commander G. T. Mecham, in search of the missing ships from Arch angel, bound for Dundee. It has been ascertained that seven out of the eight missing ships have found shelter in the different ports on the coast of Lapland, and it is feared that ore ship has been lost on the Lapland coast. Her Majesty's iron paddlewheel steamvessel Oberon, ately emi 1 , yed in the packet service between Malta and the lonian Islands, was on Saturday paid off at Wool wich. The freightship Osprey, having shipped 60 quarter barrels of bail cartridge, and 28 half-barrels of blank cartridge, from Wookich Arsenal, sailed on Saturday afternoon for Corfu. The Sir George F. Seymour freightship, Capt. Abell went down to Woolwich on Saturday from St. Ka tharine's Docks, laden with a cargo of Ordnance stores, and, after embarking 41 tons of ammunition, she sailed for Bermuda. The freightship Neptune arrived at Woolwich-pier on Saturday from the docks for the purpose of embarking a cargo of ordnance stores for Gibraltar. The Clara Louisa having completed her cargo of Ordnance stores for Woolwich Pier, has hauled off to the buoy to fill in her maazine with ammunition for Malta.

VICE-CHANCELLOR KTNDERSLEY'S CHAMBERS—JAN. 10. IN THE MATTER OF THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. A meeting was held in this matter for the purpose of making a call. Upon reading the affidavit of the official manager it appeared that the debts of the company were 554,0001., and that the assets were computed to realise 280,0001., with a doubtfulitem of 40,000/.,in respect of the Cefalron Works in South Wales, but it was expected that advan tage would be taken of the bankruptcy to cause a for feiture of the lease of these works, and therefore no value could be pat upon this item. The official manager pro posed to make a call of 751. per share upon the share holders already settled upon the list, and representing 1,507 shares, which it was estimated would produce about 100,0001. Mr. Reed attended for several shareholders, and objected to the call being made for so large an amount as 751. per share, as he understood that the assignees were insisting upon the payment by the shareholders of a ca'l of 501. per share alleged to have been made by the directors three days before the bank was dissolved. Mr. Burton then read the report of Mr. Harding, the official manager, presented to the Court of Chancery, on the general position and prospects of the undertaking, and which formed the bale of the present proceeding for making the proposed call, of which the following is an abstract s—Mr. Harding states that the total amount due by the bank is 554,580/. Appended to the affidavit is the list of contributories, holding, in the aggregate, 1,507 shares ; and another list of persons holding 1,493 shares, the latter being those who dispute their liability as shareholders. A paper is also annexed, showing that the assets and credit of the bank were estimated, on the 20th of September last, at 299,9271., exclusive of the lease of the Welsh mineral property, estimated at 40,0001. With respect to what Mr. Harding says :—" But in consequence of the said bank having since been adjudi cated bankrupt, as hereinafter mentioned, I am informed and advised that the lease of the said Cefn Coal and Iron Works has become forfeited ; and, under such circum stances, I believe that no su c h s u m as 40,0001., or thereabouts, can or will be realised by the assignees under the said bankruptcy. That, so far as I have been able to ascertain, and to the best of my knowledge, in formation, and belief, the assets of the said bank are not sufficient to meet the liabilities thereof, and if the said assets are realised under the most favourable circum stances, there will still be a deficiency of at least 220,0001., or thereabouts, and that such sum must be pro vided by calls upon the shareholders in the said bank ; and, in order to provide the funds required to fully pay and satisfy the creditors of the said bank, and equalise the payments or contributions of the several share holders, I believe it necessary that a call should be made upon the contributories who are settled on the list with out delay." The affidavit then goes to state that, in consequence of legal proceedings having been taken by some of the creditors against the shareholders, many of them were disposing of their property, or were about to leave the country ; that others of them were willing to pay the amounts due on their shares ; and he believes it would be most beneficial to the shareholders generally if a sum of 100,0001. were immediately raised by a call, but the sum he does not think could be raised by any less call upon the contri butories tban one of 751. per share upon the holders of the 1,507 shares, and another call of a similar amount to be made upon the holders of the 1,493 shares who dis pute their liability. The Chief Clerk, adverting to that part of the state ment above given as to the forfeiture of the lease of the property in Wales, observed that the forfeiture would, in all probability, be one of the unfortunate results of the proceedings that had been taken in Bankruptcy, simul taneously with those in Chancery. It was to be feared that the lessors would take advantage of the act of bankruptcy, an advantage that they could not have taken had the bank been only wound up in Chancery, and if so, a lsss would accrue to the estate in the shape of assets to be divided among the creditors of 40,0001. or 60,000/. Mr. Burton said that a further complication had oc curred in the course of the last day or two. Mr. Hard ing, the official manager of the Court of Chancery, had been served with a writ at the suit of Mr. Maxwell, one of the assignees of the Court of Bankruptcy, and the petitioning creditor of 1,9931., as a creditor of the bank ' • and he had also, it was un d erstoo d , b ees served with similar writs by Mr. Richardson and Mr. Ritchie, two of the other assignees, through Messrs. Linklater, the solicitors in Bankruptcy. The Chief Clerk—Against whom ? Mr. Burton—Against the official manager of the Court of Chancery. The call of 501. made by the Court of Bankruptcy on shareholders, in addition to the call of 751. in Chancery, would not affect the latter; but the former, if found to hold good, and if it were enforced, would go in aid of the liquidation of the debts to the extent of 75,0001., and, if added to the call of 751., and all were paid, which was questionable, would produce sufficient to pay 20s. in the pound —a consummation, he need not say, most devoutly to be wished for. (A laugh.) If the amount represented by the proposed calls could possibly be realised, it would have the effect of staying the most harassing actions, and enable the estate to be wound up with what it was almost amusing to contem plate— surplus for division among the shareholders. Mr. Reed (of the firm of Reed, Langford, and Mars den), on behalf of the directors of the bank, said he was afraid that between the proposed calls nothing would be gut from either. One of his clients, Mr. Alderman Ken nedy, was the only person as yet who had paid the 501. call made by the Court of Bankruptcy, amountieg on his shares to 1,0001., and he (Mr. Reed) also held the alder man's receipts from creditors in respect of a great many debts he had paid, so that if these were allewed to go as a set-off against the call, his client would have nothing more to contribute. Mr. Chilton said that, on proper evidence being given to the official manager, it was in his discretion to allow such payments as against the amount of call. Mr. Reed—This was all very well as regarded the more moneyed shareholders. There were those who e Auld pay the 501. or 751. alone, but who could not pos aibly pay the two calls, or 1251. For instance, there was one shareholder holding shares, and who looked to them almost entirely for his income, and whose friends might as,iit him in contributing to pay the 501. call. He would therefore suggest that a call of similar amount should be made by the official manager, and that he should so make it as that it might be payable by instalments, for he did not believe that a quarter of the persons settled on the list could pay the calls now made. Is was inexpe dient, he thought, to raise the question as to the validity of the call, which must be made and paid in some shape, as it was so desirable to get rid of the fearful litigation that was now going on, and likely to continue, by reason of the claims of rsditors. The creditors trusted the bank on the faith of the names of the shareholders, and he could not understand what honesty there was in the • shareholders endeavouring to shirk their liability. All the shareholders, he thought, ought to pay up, and his clients were ready, according to the extent of their means, to do so, and he was afraid that many of the poorer share holders would have to get away under the pressure. In justice t) the assignees in bankruptcy he must state that they had refrained from doing this, and he knew that Messrs. Linklater had had instructions to issue writs to the amount of 20,0001., if they saw that the interests of their clients were likely to be damaged by the issuing of writs ; and be did not wonder, after the decision of the Lords Justices, at creditors putting themselves ill a po sition to take proceedings. Mr. Burton said that it the calls were paid the ruinous expenses of actions would be stopped. A Shareholder—There may be shareholders who can pay one, but not both calls, and if you put the extra pressure on them they may be ruined. Mr. Burton— There were many who would sacrifice their fortunes to stay harassing executions, and a large body of shareholders, who had tied the country, had ex pressed their willingness to do everything to stay execu tion. Mr. Harding had been told by some shareholders that ,hey would consent to a call of 2001. or more, if !Riga don and execution could be stayed ; and payment or ,he call would have that effect, as it would be the imme diate means of satisfying creditors. Mr. Randall hoped it would be clearly understood that whatever course was determined on all those who paid the 50/. call in Bankruptcy won d have credit given them to that am unt. A Shareholder also hoped that those shareholders who were also depositors would have the amount of their de posits allowed them against the call. (Yes, yes.) Mr. Harding, referring to the Joint Stock Companies' Winding -up Amendment Acts, said that by the 29th section, in the event of a call being made, it was in the power of the official manager to give time to the share holders for its payment. Mr. De Metz—Actions were increasing daily. (A voice—" Going on like snowballs.") The Chief Clerk was of opinion that the more assets the official manager got into his hands the better would he be able to deal with the parties. He did not know what mind exactly the creditors must be in after what had happened, but it ought to be known after the fear ful litigation and expense that hal taken place in both courts, that 555,0001. of debts had been proved in Chan cery without a single farthing expense, while the very contrary had occurred in l'ankruptcy, where they would not receive proof of debts made in Chancery, but put the parties to all the trouble and expense of proving them over again b e f ore t h ey cou ld b e ent i t l e d to the dividend. He (th e Chi e f Clerk) could not arrange the payment of the call, not measure th e means or f ortunes o f the un f ortunate but could only d e cla r e it genera lly. H e cou ld Feeareholderta Mr. 13urton—No; but the official manager could under the 29th s ec ti on of the act, Mr. R an d a ll —My client is a schoolmaster in a country town, and h e i s W i lling to pay as far as he can, but not to such an enormous extent. Mr. Re e d sa i d he believed the question of the validity of the SO/, call in Bankruptcy would come on this term before the law courts, ou the appeal of General Aitchi son. Another shareholder, he might mention, had paid the call on upwards of 20 shares made by the Court of Bankruptcy, and 8001. to creditors, and had at the pre sent moment executions to, the extent of 3,0001. or 4,0001. in his house, and yet he was desirous of doing all in his power to meet calls to stave off executions. He (Mr. Reed) would suggest that the call of 751. be reduced to 251. Mr. Harding—That would only realise 30,0001. Mr. Vanderpunt (for Messrs. LinklaterandUckwood, solicitors in bankruptcy) said that a considerable sum was being collected under the call in bankruptcy. A Shareholder—How many actions are being brought? Mr. Vhnderpunt did not know how many. Mr. Argles—On e. Mr. Vande r pu n - a —That was t o raise ate question, but we have the opinif in-of couribel confirmingethe goodness of the call. The Chief CI It' said, on a review of all the facto, one THE GREAT EASTERN MONSTER SHIP.—Mr. S. Beale, deputy chairman of the Midland Railway Company, and whose name has long been honourably connected with the industrial and mercantile pursuits of this country, is now supplying Messrs. Scott Russell and C,., the build ers of the monster ship, with immense iron plates to be nsel in her conetruction. We had an opportunity of seeing a number of the plates at the Midland Railway station, Derby, on Wednesday last, on their way from Mr. Beale's Park. , ate works at Masborough, to Black wail. The plates have been expressly rolled for the bows of the great ship at Millwall , and vary in size from 2 tons to 24 tons, the largest plate being 27 feet long by 4 feet 3 inches wide, and 14 inch thick. The rough plates from which these beautifully finished plates were cut out were of course much larger. The plates, which have been planed, are quite free from blisters and blemishes, the edges are perfect, and altogether they are an admir able specimen of what can he effected in these days of progress. The difficulty in the manufacture of plates of these dimensions is in having to deal with such a large o;ass of iron in a weefingeheat, and to pass it under the rolls the requistze number of times. As far as we know these plates, in combined size and weight have never been approached. One fact will show at once the trade. estimate of toe difficulty of making heavy plates. At ths quarterly meeting of ironmasters, when the price of iron is fixed, the price paid for plates varying from 3 to 3i OWL is at - the rate of 11. per ton for every single cwt. above tha's amount. In general practice plates weighing from 12 to 15 cwt. each have been considered very heavy, and have seldom been exceeded. The difficulty of rolling these immense masses of iron was enormous. The process 'is this :—Between 3 and 44 tons of iron are bound together and placed in a furnace expressly con stiucted for the purpose, and, after the iron has been heated to a white heat, it is withdrawn and carried to the rolls, and by admirable rnsehanicalarrangement ro ll e d into Plates. The heat given off during this process from such an immense surface and mass of iron is so great as to prevent the workmen approaching within one or two yards e f the plates without their clothes being set on fire or tne skin burnt eff their hands and faces. Is the ordinary process of rollin g i ron a plate weighing 9 hat had ev e r b een re cwt. is el ;rendered a li very large one. The largest plate ted previous to those to which iv allurle Wag one exhibited at the Paris Exhibition, weigh ing 1 ton 6 cwt., and which elicited so many remarks. One of tb e plates was 5 feet wide and 17 feet 10 incise, Datring the recent war Mr. Late undertook to roll plates for the Government floating batteries, which operation he duly performed to their complete satisfac tion ; and a number of the sides of thec-e modern engines of war were constructed at his celebrated works. I t is probable that the information and experience gained by the coastruction of these plates enabled' him t;, accom plish a still greater triumph in the manufacture of iron. —Derby Reporter. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1857 thing appeared to be clear, viz, the necessity for a call, whatever that call might be in amount. He had gone through the figures carefully with the official manager, and agreed with him that a call of 751 per share was not too much to meet the exigencies of the case, and a call to that amount must accordingly be declared. Call of 751. per share declared accordingly. A Shareholder in the crowd here said he appeared on behalf of an only sister, who had no means of paying it. ('sensation.) The CHIEF CKEEK—I would not mention that matter now. You must speak to the official manager on a future opportunity. The meeting then broke up. The following is the schedule A referred to in the foregoing examination : Amount proved. Liabilities contracted at the Head Office £267,724 8 10 If /I Strand 110,847 110 11 ~ Islington 74,932 810 ~ Lambeth 43, 6 ,1 16 4 If „ Borough PP„Holborn ,1 Piccadilly „ Pimlico Total.. £554,58017 0 Statement of the Affairs of the Royal British Bank, 3d of September, 1856, according to J. E. Coleman's esti mates. The Schedule C referred to in the foregoing exa mination : committed on the banks of the Regent's Canal, about two years since. In his defence the prisoner said that the tale was in vented by him for the purpose of amusing his compan ions, and that be was quite innocent of any such horri ble transaction. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after a long examination, decided that there was no foundation for the charge, and dismissed the prisoner. LAMBETH.--Mr. Inspector Bent, of the A division of police, but who is principally engaged on the South- Western Railway, waited on the sitting magistrate, the Hon. G. C. Norton, by desire of Mr. Young, and handed in if. 17s. 6d. for the poor-box. Mr. Bent said that on Tuesday last a Spanish gentleman, his wife and son, arrived at the Waterloo road station to proceed by train to Southampton, and were accompanied by one of those persons who call themselves interpreters or commission ere, who hang about the hotels for foreigners, and who eemed to have charge of their luggage, etc. This per son, it was observed, appeared to be in a great hurry to get rid of his charge, and the moment the lady and gentleman, with their son, were seated in the railway carriage, he made off, and his gross impositions would have passed unnoticed had it not been for the accidental circumstance that the gentleman before leaving the sta tion was informed by one of the company's servants that a balance was due for luggage, and this led to the exhi bition of the commissioner's bill of charges. In this do• cument was found a charge of 1/. 17s. 6d. for luggage, from the private hotel in Finsbury-square, ss. for the cab, and 103. for the "coachman." It was also found that a charge for attending and taking the party about London on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, of 4/. 19s , was made, and in fact that this man's charge was much greater than that made for hotel expenses. Nothing towards redress could then be effected. The interpreter was off, and the gentleman was tied to time, but before starting he gave the name and address of the person who had so shamefully imposed on him, and requested that if any of the money so improperly obtained could be got back, it might be given to some charity. On Thursday Butt, one of the company's officers, called on the " in• terpreter," whose name is Francis, and who lives at No. 7, Rose-court, Tower-street, City. Francis returned It. 17s. 6d., his bill being altogether 91. 19s. 6d., and this sum Mr. Young had sent to the poor-box. Mr. Norton observed he was glad to find that the man was made to disgorge, and said be thought such practices were confined to commissioners on the continent, who were the greatest pests that English travellers had to encounter. SOUTH WARK.—William Rose and James Low, two well-known thieves, were brought up in custody, charged with breaking into thecounting-house of Messrs. West and Wagstaffe, coal merchants, Commercial-wharf, Jommercial.road, Lambeth, arid stealing therefrom a quantity of bye-laws of a masonic lodge, held at the Star and Garter, a badge of the order, and a silver cigar tube. Henry Baraett, 81 L, said that about 11 o'clock on the previous night he was on duty in the Commercial-road, when he saw the prisoners and another man lurking about. Suspecting their character he watched them, and saw two of them go towards an open wharf, the third man remain ing outside. About 20 minutes afterwards witness went down the prosecutors' wharf and found the counting. house open, and on entering he perceived the desks open and papers strewn all about. Witness thenlwent up the wharf and saw Rose walking fast towards the street, and as soon as he saw him he threw the badge of the order (produced) away. He pursued him and took him into custody. Having handed him over to another constable, he went to look after the other men, when he met the prisoner Low coming from the wharf. He stopped and asked him what he had about him, when he replied no thing. Witness told him he must go to the station house, as he believed him to be concerned with others in break. ing into the counting house of Messrs. West and Wag staffe. He replied that he knew no hing about that, but he could tell him something rather singular. Low the❑ produced from under his coat a parcel containing a n urn oer of bye laws of a masonic lodge, and said that, a few minutes previous, he saw a man running away throw it into the road. He picked it up, and was about to carry it to the station house. Witness told him he must go to the station house and explain the circumstances. On the way t) the station house be saw the prisoner Low throw a bunch of keys away, which witness picked up. When he afterwards searched him he found in his trousers pocket a silver cigar tube. Mr. Wagstaffe identified the latter as having been stolen from his desk, which he had locked up on the previous evening. The other property was also•left safe in the counting house at the same time. The counting house had been entered by breaking a win dow, and all the locks inside had been forced, but for tunately the thieves had missed the cash box. The prisoners, who said nothing in their defence, were remanded for a week. THAMES.—MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—Honora Tindal, a young woman who has been frequently in custody for robbing seamen and others, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch, 51. in gold, and 20s. in silver, from a Frenchman named Francois Lancet. An Irish woman, named Honors Hulaghin, was com mitted for trial on Tuesday last for robbing the prose cutor, and he swore positively to her. Dunaway, 129 H, a detective officer, having subsequently received information which convinced him Hulaghin was inno cent, and that Tindal was the guilty party, Herlaghin was sent for from the House of Detention and placed alongside . the woman Tindal. The Frenchman, who was examined through the medium of Nor ruoyle, 133 H, a clever linguist, said that he was late a soldier in the British Foreign Legion, and on the Ist of this month he went home with the prisoner Tindal after he had drunk with her. He gave her Bd. to obtain a pot of ale, and after he had drank a glass of it he fell into a doze. Soon afterwards he heard the prisoner moving about the room, and saw her take up his waistcoat, which he had placed on a chair, and run away with it. He followed her, but was unable to overtake her. He had previously sworn to Herlaghin, but he was now positive that Tindal was the woman. Mr. Yardley committed Tindal for trial, and liberated Hulaghin in her own recognisance to appear at the sessions. Sporting Intelligence. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Edward Horace Montefiore, who has been charged with the forgery to the amount of 5,3001., and with having committed extensive frauds, was again brought up before the Lord Mayor for re-exa mination. Mr. Ribton, instructed by Mr. Roy, solicitor to the London and Westminster Bank, attended for the prose• cution ; Mr. Lawes for the defence. Mr. Ribton said he should be able to prove that a letter bad been received from the prisoner, dated May, 1855, in the name of Langfelt, when he was in treaty for the purchase of a schooner for 6001. He was then traced to London. In reference to the document signed " Silvery," the learned counsel would be able to prove that to be in the prisoner's handwriting. The prisoner was then traced from London to Leith, and theAtiaptain of the ship in which he sailed, as well as the waiter at an hotel in Edinburgh, would prove that in July of the same year he was passing in the name of Lyon. He afterwards passed in the name of Montefiore. This was the whole of the evidence in addition to that already adduced in respect to the first charge. The bills which had been proved to be forgeries were written "London," although uttered at the Cape of Good Hope, and therefore there could he no doubt as to the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor in the case. The bank at the Cape had been defrauded by the prisoner, by means of forged letters of credit, of 8001. With reference to the second case, the prisoner had been proved, if not absolutely to have presented the letters of credit, yet to have made such allusion to them in the presence of one of the directors of the bank as to have identified himself with them. The document signed " Silvery" pointed especially to this case. On the sth or 6th of June the prisoner went to the London and Westminster Bank and applied for a letter of credit for 101. He filled up the usual form, paid the 101., and obtained the letter of credit. This was a forgery of a name, and he (M:r. Ribton) submitted that it was evidence for a jury, whether, when the scheme was commenced in London, they were not satisfied that the documents were forged in London. The learned counsel said be had a third charge to make against the prisoner, of having defrauded Messrs. Guthrie and Co., of London, of 811. When the prisoner reached Cape Town he was received by the first families there on ac count of his negotiating the forged letters of credit. Ile gave grand dinner parties, and issued cards of invi tation with a coat of arms on' them, and was there con aidered one of the most celebrated and illustrious per sons in the town. In fact, for the purpose of carrying 'out his scheme he had forged the name of Baring Bro thers, as well as those of the directors of the London and Westminster Bank, to various documents. Under ali these circumstances the learned counsel submitted that the fact of juri-diction was clearly made out. Several witnesses were examined in confirmation of the statemeut of the learned counsel, and the prisoner was again remanded. BOW-STREET.—Thomas Johnson, a young man of 18, was charged with breaking into the house of Mr. Forster, of 12, Alfred-place, Bedford-square, early on Saturday morning. The parlours of the house were in the occupation of Mr. Sidegreaves, a student at law, of Middle Temple. At about 5 o'clock in the morning, this gentleman heard some one effecting an entrance into the adjoining room. He arose, took the life. preserver which he kept in readiness for such occasions, and pro ceeded to the apartment, where be beheld' the prisoner standing upright. The prisoner was so instantaneously cowed that strong measures were unnecessary. Mr. Sidgreaves, therefore, only seized the delinquent by the throat, and, calling to his landlord, held him till apo lineman could be procured. The prisoner said, "Two men outside told me to get in, and they would follow. They are there now." Mr. Forster dashed into the street, and pounced upon a young man standing close by, but the youth said, "if am the son of Mr. Smith, of Tottenham-court-road." The landlord, knowing a per son of that name, imprudently allowed him to depart. Mr. Henry eororaitted the Prisoner for trial. WORSHIP-STREET.— Win. Fish, a cab-driver, wearing the badge numbered 4,121, was summoned upon the charge of having exacted an excessive fare and used abusive and insulting language towards Mr, B. Hooper, Queen's-road, Da!ston. The complaisant said—On the evening of . Wednesday, the 31st ult., I hi re d t h e d e f en d an t' s ca b, in which I was conveyed with my wife and son, from the carriage stand in Holloway to my residence at Dalston." On reach in our destination, I handed ls. 6d., which I c , mceived to be the full fare, allowing for the extra passenger, as the distance was under two miles, but the defendant refused the tender, and declared, with an oath, that if he bad known his customers he would not have taken us at ali. The defendant then commenced a volley of abuse, but after uttering the words, " You are a old —" he suddenly paused, and wound up the sen tence with the observation, "I won't say what, but I mean anything but a gentleman." The demeanour and gesture of the man were so rude and insulting, that in order to get rid of him, I pulled out some loose silver, amounting to 4s. or 55., and invited him to pay himself, to which the defendant replied, "Oh, that's the dodge, is it ; you mean to summons me, so I may as we ll ta k e it all," at the same time sweeping the whole of the money into his band. The defendant then deliberately mounted his box, and after some bantering remarks to another cabman who had just set down a faro opposite, be drove off with the whole of the money. The complainant's son, Mr. E. Hooper, was also examined, and fully confirmed his father's evidence. Mr. Hammill said it was one of the worst cases of the kind that had ever been brought under his notice, and he should order the defendant to pay the maximum penalty of 3/. for his insulting language, together with 40s. for exacting more than his fare, or to be committed, in default, for three months to the House of Correction. The magistrate, however, at the urgent intercession of the complainant, w as su b sequent l y i n d uce d t o remit a portion of the penalties. CLERKENWELL.—WaIter Booth, a young man aged 19, an inmate of the Islington Workhouse, was charged by James Arnault, a pauper in the same estab lishment, with having committed a murder. It appeared that on Christmas night several men in the Islington Workhouse were sitting round the fire, and agreed to amuse themselves by telling tales and relating wonderful events. While the history of a murder was being re cited the prisoner became very uneasy, groaned, and left the room. On his return he still seemed much distressed, and, on being asked - what was the matter, he proceeded to relate, with many circumstantial details, an account of a murder and robbery which he said he had himself 20 0 0 1100 0 0 ANKS.
