Lord Charm and his daughter were present, and were

Prom the fact that the prisoners are known to belong
to • amoricous gang, the greatest inter* was hit in the

Mr. Morgan said the onlv additional evidence that day
would be proof of former convictions.
A sortable named Cook proved a cioaviction against
Hewitt for uttering a forged note, when be had four years'
penal servitude, sod another constable preyed • conviction
against O'Lochlio.
The primers were then committed for trial
Mr. Morgan said that he charged the prisooses with
breaking and entering the dwelling-boor of Mr. John
Laurie, of 10, Hyde-park-terrace, oa the night of the 29th
April last, mad stealing a quantity of valuable property, bat
as that ore was not quite cooiplste he must ask for • re-
mand fora week.

Mr. Tyrwhitt granted the applieatios.
It spyglass that the property et Mr. Laurie's was all
safe at elms at night, and the next morning it wee
diseovered that the premises bad been ouRLrtocaly
entered, an entrance having been gained by kens' the
rails to the kitchen window. A tarred rope and mew-
driver were left behind, and from a collates which had
been forced open, a quantity of valuable property had
been taken. Three men were seen near the previooe
sight as it reeoenoitring, sod on the night of the hargleq
three mos were seen sitting on the step of the neat boar by
Mr. James Ooecbman. Sergeant White, D division, on
going to the lodging of Hewitt, found a jemmy, which the
woman whom Hewitt cohabited with tried unsomaishilly
to secrete, and on Inspector Steer oomoarian the jemmy
with the marks on Hr. Laurie's oellaret he found to
correspond exactly. A noticeable festers in the two eases
is, that a screw was takes from the locks of the kitchen
doors at both boner, so that the burglars might thus gain
admission to the interior, and that tarred ropes were used
in both inatanoes.

THE PROPOSED LUDGATE-HILL VIADUCT.

The following is the opinion of Mr. Remain, the
*unison, on the practicability of mowing Ludgate-hill by
means of a tunnel inneed of the proposed viaduct :
13, Queen's-square, Westminster, May 19.

Sir,—l find that • deviation lir as be obtained for the
Loodos, Chathsni, and Dover Railway so as to pass wider
Ludgate-bill with a gredisat of 1 in 50. and with such
arrangemeets as need out present any difficulty or dined-
rootage is workieg the railway. I *noires • plan of the
line I propose, which pathos through Church-entry and
within 40 feet of St. Martin • Church, keeping clear of the
Old Bailey law othrth and rejoining the authorised hoe at
the junction between Sthoreil-lase and Skinner-street. If
17 fest be adopted as the headway over the pro-
pond New Earl street, there will be no mem=
to alter the parliamentary licit of that street, and
if 18 feet be required those Bose may without dial-
catty be shifted 40 feet southward. This plan in.
voices widening out the north sod of the railway bridge
over the Thames in a similar =nose to she cocain:action
adopted at the Chering•crom-bridge. The metropolitan
station of the Chatham sod Dover Railway might be made
on the high level between Earl-street and Ludgate-hill, on
the present authorised hos, and thus, as regards the /47013,
leaving the station for oontioestal traffic, the company
would remain in precisely as good a positive as their paseat
act secured to them. This arrangement, as you wl7l per-
ceive, would require two arosaiogs of New Farl-street, but
as it is impossible to avoid injuring the effect of the
driest by one of them, the second will beef less importance.
Upon the whole this line appears to me the best arrange-
ment that could be adopted ; bet if the double croseing of
Earl-street be objected to, then a spur-braseli coulit be
thrown out from the intereectien of Ludgate-hill to Skinner-
street, which I have shown by a blue line, on which the
station could be pieced with very convenient levels and
approaches. I hare only to add that the proposed levels of
New Earletreet have Seen carefully considered, and can be
enmity adjothed to the consiog I now propose.

It 'gibs remembered that at the last aitlag of the am,
allusion was made to the subject of the great mama, that
was cast upon the City by what may be termed paw.a
lunatics being sent fm& different parte, cod peril:via;
from abroad, Into the City of London, where the
were compelled to provide for them, and It was raid that it
might eventually become necessary to consider wbethars
county rote might not be required to be levied,
upon the citireas to defray the expense. The idea that;
county rate for this purpose might possibly be May ,
the already heavy burdens bores by the ratepayer, of it:
City Laudon naturally created a good deal of intent,and a great many of the parishes have held meetiomto a,,

Alderman Arrive now presented a petition to its
court from the churchwardens, overseers, and gumlike, or
the poor of the parishes within the City of Loudon Voice
praying the court not to proceed is the go/14km ,

The worthy alderman said that, although"cheM it her
duty to present the petition, in accordance with the dewt
of the petitioner, he mast at the mine time rate
that a very great misapprehension had guts slimed
as to what had occurred lit the former

Alderman Comtism, M. said that pommy the bus
had originated from the obeervatiems that Le ha reaga tai
the former occasion, but it was very far from his intaglis
to have it inferred that the Court of Aldermen mended
to make a county rate for the support of the paper
lunatits, the burden of whose maintenance was throve
upon the City of London. The Coast of Aldermen,
in the fire place, bad DO power to make such a roe, ad
the only legal tribunal for that puma* was the Court of
Quarter fissions. (Hear, hear.) At the same time he
must observe that a regale: system appeared to mend of

City of Loodoo, and if the burden of maintaising sink puma
was to be thrown upon the City's soh,, it weeldhamme a
