THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

George Field, aTreriWasictal;iYoud young man, in
the emloy of Von der Heyde, wholesale tobacwnist,
Lower -street, was charged as follows.
Detective Molyneux said last evening, about 6 o'clock, he
was in the shop of the prosecutor, in Thames-street, and
he there saw the prisoner give a small parcel to a boy, and
tell him to leave it next door, at the public-house, till-called
for. About two hours later he saw the prisoner leave the
warehouse and go into the public-house where he had told
the boy to leave the parcel. He (Molyneux) followed him
in, and the prisoner received the same racket which he
had given to the boy. Witness stopped him, and asked him
what he had got there. He replied that he had lilb. of
tobacco. When asked what he was going to do with it, be
said he was going to sell it to a friend at the wholesale
price, and that he had his employer's permission so to do.
Molyneux not feeling quite satisfied upon that point, took
him to the station, and afterwards proceeded to his residence,
where be found a quantity more of tobacco, 12 cigars, and
several snuffboxes.

Von der Heyde said the prisoner was in his employment
as foreman of the shopmen, and had been with him between
three and four years. Lately, having suspicion of him,
the present inquiries were instituted, which led to his detec-
tion and apprehension. He would Da swesz to any of the
articles found at the prisoner's lodgings except one snuff-
box ; but he believed they were all his property. The pri-
soner had not permission to sell anything to his friends or
on his own account.

The prisoner now said he had no defence to offer ; he
could only say what he had told the policeman, viz., that
he took the tobacco out on business purposes.
The Lord Mayor said that be must send him for trial in
that one, as it was equivalent to " not guilty.
The prisoner's mother earnestly entreated that her son
might have bail, but this the Lord Mayor declined, as he
thought the case was of too serious a nature.

looms amounted to 85,0001. A farther sum of 25,0001. was
sow required to purchase additional engines sod rolling
stock, which he was happy to say the increaeing
trails on their line demanded. The proposal of
the directors was to issue the whole of the new
shwa, limiting calla thereon for the preseent to 51. per
share. This, with the borrowing power given them,
would furnish an amount sufficient for the objects in view.
It was proposed to offer these new in the first in-
stance, at par, to the North London seideea, rateably
aseardiag to their present holdings. Each shareholder

mously carried.

THE DRINKING FOUNTAINS ASSOCIATION.

The first annual meeting of this association,
having for its object the establishment of drinking fountains
in the metropolis, was held yesterday at Willie's Rooms,
St. James's ; Mr. SAMOIL GUKNIT, M.P., the first founder
of • public fountain in London, taking the chair. The re-
port, read by Mr. E. T. Wakefield, the hon. secretary of
the association, entered at considerable length into the
origin and of drinking fountains both in provincial
towns and m ndon, alluding to the success which had at-
tended their establishment at Liverpool, and their subse-
quent iutroduction into this metropolis—the first of
which had been erected at the expense of the
Chairman, and which had !served as an incentive for
ninny others in the same work. The report further stated
that the annual cost for tho water supply to each fountain
would have been 5/. per annum, hut the committee had re-
! pre.ented to the water companies that this was an excep-
tional case, the object of which was charitable, and the
Middlesex Unmanly had given their water free of charge,
and the Lambeth Company at a reduced rate. (This
announcement w:is received with applause.) The com-
mittee in their report proceeded to state that the other
large water companies had not fallen in with this
view, but in • local act of parliament which had
been recently paned it had been expressly 'tine-
listed that the prsimoters should supply a certain number of
fountains for the public use. As proof of the estimation
in which the public held these fountains the plan of
placing a contribution box had been ailopttsl in one instance,
when it was found that ltd. per day had been deposited by
those who had portaken of the advantages, and it was in-
tended to apply the samo system to others.
The total number of fountains already established was 91,
and although some of the cars for drinking had occasionally
been stolen, it was proved that there was a protective care
on tho pirt of the public generally to prevent any destruc-
tion. The receipts for the year were announced to be
2,60 W. 2a. 3d., and the expenditure 2.3471. Is. tld. The
Earl of Shaftesbury, Mr. Slaney, M.P., Lord Radstock, the
lion. T. Byug, and Mr. Paine. Q.C., subsequently addressed
the meeting, and resolutions in support of the association
were adopted.

MINES.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoow.

The mining market remains quiet, and there has
been scarcely any change in prices this morning.
The transactions have been chiefly confined to
shares in East Caradon, WhealiWrey, Tolcarne, and
Rosewarno United mines.

In colonial mining shares, English and Austra-
lian Copper have been dealt in at 2f, and Kapunda
at 1 to if prem. Foreign descriptions are inani-
mate.

At the River Tamar Copper Mine meeting yesterday, the
accounts showed a credit balance of 353/. 18s. 4d. The
report stated that the directors were disheartened at the
alownee of a remunerative discovery, but surrounded as the
mine is by dividend paying adventures, they think that
eesu with the funds in hand it is not impossible but that •
remunerative discovery may yet be made. The reort
awl accounts were adopted, and the directors agreed to
forego their fees for the present.
The Vale of Towy Mine sold yesterday four parcels of lead
ore, computed at 45 tons, which realised 5781. 15s.

WEsnallaYlE PALACE Ro7IL CORPANY.—The
Gth half-yearly meeting of thin company was held Yester-
day at the building, in Victoria-street ; Lord Chelsea in the
chair. The directors in their report expressed regret at
being unable to announce the opening of any portion of the
building, and referred to the proceedings which had been
taken fur the purpose of obtaining an injunction to restrain
them from carrying out their agreement with the India
Board. The portion of the building to he leased to the board
had been reedy for occupation some time, and would, but
for the proceedings referred to, be now producing 500/. per

company, hearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. The
caatriwo moved the adoption of the report, which was se-
conded by Mr. W. Jones ; an amendment, however, was
moved by Mr. Alderman Copeland, to the effect that the
meeting should be adjourned for a week, in oiler that the
result of Mr. Simpson 's appeal to the House of Lords in the
proceedings referred to, should be made known. This was,
however, negatived ; and, after some discussion, the report
was adopted.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

The entertainments at the Crystal Palace yester-
day, which were of a very varied description, were for the
benefit of Mr. Strange, the enterprising contractor for the
refreshment department. The weather was unusually fine
for the season, and the consequence was that a very nume-
rous audience was attracted to the Palace. There was the
usual coucert under the able direction of Mr. Manus,
enlivened by sole* from Mr. G. Tedder, Misses
Gresham and Jane Palmer ; and is addition Mr.
Mackney, the eelebrebrated " nigger" buffo, contributed
two or three of his most popular songs. The bal-
loon went up according to promise, and made, as we
understood, • prosperous voyage, which terminated some.
where in the neighbourhood of Bromley; and in the evening
Mr. Strange entertained his personal friends in the new
sedoon which has recently been opened at the end of the
south transept. About 150 gentlemen eat down to a most
luxurious dinner. The chair was taken by Mr. Hem, 31 P.,
supported by Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P., Mr. White,
Mr. Strange, ltev. Mr. Roberts, and oue or two
merchants of endemic-6 interested in the prosperity of the
refreshment department of the Crystal Palace. The chair-
man, who exhibited great aptitude in addiesing himself to
the different topics. proposed in succession, "The Queen,
Prime Albert, and the met of the royal family." In pro-
posing the hitter thast, he took occasion to notice the
loyal enthusiasm with which the heir-apparent had been
received in the Ganadion Forams% and trusted that what
his Royal Highness sew there would deeply impress him with
the responsibility which some dawent fall to his Int. The
next prominent toast was the "Refreshment Department,"
to which Mr. Strange returned thanks. He said that he felt
deeply gratified for the commendations with which his hum-
ble efforts in a very bumble, but very necessary, depart-
ment of the Crystal Palace aneugements, had been received.
He had always endeavoured to look well to the osenrnissu-
riat, and he was not aware of any instance in which his
annngements had broken down. On a very recent day he
had entertained about 70,000 Foresters, nearly egnal in
camber to the army which Mewled the •
and to this day he had not received a com-
plaint that one man had been deprived of his
pint of beer or of his ham and beef sandwich. It was all a
question of organisitioa ; and whether the number to be
fel was 1,000 or 100,000, the same system answered, and if
the food was lestiful not the slightest inconvenience oould
be expssieopeil. He had done his bed in the arduous situa.
Use in which he wasplaced, and to the voice of the general
public he must appeal as to whether his exertions hail been
escosaffstl.

Time speech, which wee received with loud cheers, tenni.
sated the business of the evening.
