MIND YOUR. STOPS !—ln the account given by
one of our morning contemporaries of the Marquis
of Abercorn's magnificent banquet to their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess of Wales last evening, we read
with some sense of surprise that—" The Royal guests were
received in the grand hall—which was adorned with a pro-
fusion of choice exotics disposed in admirable taste by the
noble host and hostess and Viscount Hamilton—and imme-
diately afterwards that--tine Princess was conducted to the
library, where dinner was served by the Marquis of .Aber-
corn, and the Prince gave his arm to the marchioness."

AN EXPERT SWINDLER.—At Birmingham, on
Saturday, a spruce, gentlemanly looking man, of
middle age, named F. G. Wainwright, was charged with
stealing two gold watches, one silver watch, and three
gold Albert chains, the property of Messrs. Widdowson and
Yeale, goldsmiths, &e., London. This charge merely indi-
cated the extent of the legal evidence against the prisoner
without giving a clue to the extraordinary character of the
case as described by Mr Morgan, and also by Mr Manton,
detective inspector. It appears from their statements
that the prison& has for many years been carrying on a
clever system of commereial plunder, and has conducted
his operations with such skill as to elude detection. His
plan has been to take a house in some respectable vicinity
in the town he might select as the temporary basis of ope-
rations, rarely selecting a rent below £3O, and there to
write in the name of some well-known or fictitious firm
(as the case might suit) to the tradesman he might single
out as his victim, ordering a quantity of goods to the
house. Inquiries on the part of the tradesman ascertained
the fact that the prisoner had actually taken a large respec-
table house in his own neighbourhood, and thus all mire,
givings were allayed, and the goods were supplied.
Sometimes the order would be sent to another town—
frequently to London—and the references in every case
confirming his locus standi, the transaction was opened
with confidence. The prisoner having got the goods into
his possession (and they were usually of a light and valu-
able character, such as jewellery, optical instruments,
watches, &c.) quickly became non est. His " furniture"
being designedly portable, and capable, according to Mr-
Manton, of being accommodated in a small hand-cart, he
was enabled to pack up and be off in double •quick time,
'hout exciting any attention on the part of neighbours.

colour to his own connection with the concern. For a long
time the police have been on the 100k-out for him, but have
never been able to carry their cases home. At last he en-
tered into negotiations with the London jewellery firm men-
tioned at the commencement of this notice, for a supply of
watches and jewellery, and somehow their suspicions were
excited, though not soon enough to prevent the despatch
of tho goods. The police were placed on the alert. The
prisoner was supposed to be in London', but Insp actor
Menton succeeded in meeting with him in Birmingham, on

Friday, and at once took him into custody. On his person
he found one of the watches described in the list forwarded
from the victimised firm, and on searching his house he
found three pawn tickets for the other articles mentioned in
the charge. The prisoner made no reply when asked to
account for the possession of them. Ho was remanded till
Friday.—Birmingham Post.
