POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

ROBBING OP MESSRS, ROUTLEDOE.—Two men named
Banks and Lacy, were placed at the bar charged with
stealing seven books, the property of Messrs. Routledge.
The property stolen consisted of some copies of two works
entitled, " Our Garden Friends and Foes" and Grant's
"Rob Roy." The books were seen in the shop window of
Mr. Holder, a bookseller of No. 311, Strand, by
Mr. Routledge, and that gentleman feeling cer-
tain the books had been surreptitiously taken from
his premises, spoke to the shopkeeper, and the explanations
not being sufficient he was given into custody, and charged
at Guildhall with the unlawful possession of the books.
Circumstances, however, led to the withdrawal of the
charges against Holder, and he was admitted as a witness
is the case, which was sent by the City magistrates to Bow-
street Police .court. as the offence was committed within the
jurisdiction of the court.
William Thomas Holder said he had for many years
carried on the business of a bookseller in the Strand, He
had on one or two occasions bought books of Banks, but
never imagined they were stolen. The seven books in
question he also bought of him, and he had previously
purchased of him two copies of Craig's Dictionary. The
books were brought to his shop by Lacy, who received the
money for them.
In cross-examination he said he had carried on business
in the Strand, and had known Banks for 12 years. He
would swear he had never had dealings with him as long as
12 months ago; hut it might be nine. He was charged at
Guildhall with receiving the books knowing them to be
stolen ; but the charge was withdrawn on his telling the
solicitor for the prosecution that he could point out the men
of whom he had purchased the books. He never said he
had bought the books of Mr. Vickers. He told Mr. Rout-
ledge he bought the books of Simpkin and Marshall. He
told the lie in this case because he was taken b 3 surprise.
He could not say he told a lie to answer a certain purpose,
but because he was, as he had said, in the first instance
taken by surprise. When Lacy brought the books, he said
he had brought them from Banks. Lacy said he was to
have 30s. He paid him a pound on the occasion, and ten
shillings the next day. _

Mr. George Routledge, of No. 2, Farringdon-street, said
he knew the prisoner Banks by sight, and also Lacy by his
being in the service of Messrs. Hanbury, the bookbinders
who did work for his house. None of the books involved
in the present charge were bound by that firm. He first issued
the copies of Grant's "Rob Roy" to the trade last Wednes-
day week. "The Garden Friends" have been published some
three or four weeks. On Saturday, the 10th of October, he
saw three copies of " Rob Roy" and the same number of
" Garden Friends" in the shop window of Mr. Holder. He
did not take any notice, but on Monday he communicated
with the police. He, however, before he spoke to the police,
went to the witness Holder's shop, and on that occasion he
saw four volumes of " Rob Roy," He sp ,ke to Holder
on the subject, and afterwards he accompanied Jarvis, the
police officer, to his shop, where he gave him into custody
for the unlawful possession of the books. He was taken
to Guildhall Police Court but discharged, and as they
were coming down to this court on the 13th inst., Holder
pointed out Lacy, who was then in one of Messrs. Han-
bury's carts, opposite his (witness's) door, as the person of
whom he had received the books. He had taken stock dur-
ing the last two days of the " Garden Friends," and he found
eight copies deficient, and of " Rob Roy " twenty copies
were missing. The books produced were his property, and
had been taken from his premises without his consent. The
value of them was £2 2s. 6d. _ _ _

Police-constable Ackrill, of the F division, said on Tues-
day last he stopped the prisoner Banks in Clare-market.
He saw him go into a public-house there, with a parcel,
and come out without it. When he asked him what he
had left, he said "nothing," but afterwards he admitted he
had left three books. He then took him into custody. The
books were 3 vols. entitled " Romols."

City police• constable Jarvis said—On Tuesday last he had
Holder in custody outside Messrs. Routledge's premises,
when he pointed out Lacy as the man who had brought
him the, four " Rob Roy's." He was then in one of Han-
bury's carts. He told him the charge, when he said he
had received the books from a man in The Row, but that
he did not enter the name or address.
The prisoners were remanded for a week, bail being re-
fused.

FUNERAL OF LORD LYNDHURST.

This morning, at half-past nine o'clock, the remains of
the venerable Lord Lyndhurst were removed from his man-
sion in George-street, Hanover-square, and deposited, with-
out ostentation and with very little ceremony, in a humble
grave in Highgate Cemetery. It was one of his lordship's
last requests that his funeral should be as simple as possible,
and his wish was rigidly adhered to.
Last night, at 12 o'clock, Lady Lyndhurst took a parting
look at her deceased husband in the presence of Dr. Thomas
Hawkesly, who attended him with the greatest care
throughout bis lengthened illness, and at six o'clock this
morning the coffin was finally fastened down.
At nine o'clock the mourners and those who were to take
part in the funeral ceremony arrived in George-street.
There were present Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Beckett, sons-in-
law of the deceased; Mr. Clarke, Mr. Barlow, and Mr.
Ogden, executors; Mr. Winslow, the Rev. Henry Howarth,
8.D., rector of St. George's, Hanover-square ; Dr.
Hawkesly, the Earl of Encabo, ough, Right Hon. Spencer
Walpole, M.P., aid numerous of her friends. Mr. Du Cane,
M.P., a son-in.law of Lord Lyndhurst, was prevented from
attending in consequence of severe indisposition.
The deceased was placed in a leaden coffin. The coffin
consir ted of oak, covered with black Genoa velvet, su-
periorly finished with gilt nails, massive gothic gilt
handles, each surmounted with a baron's coronet. On the
lid was a brass plate with this inscription :—John Singleton
Copley, Baron Lyndhurst, Privy Councillor, F.R.S., died
October 12, 186?, "in his 92d year." Above that was a
shield with his arms and crest engraved ; the arms argent,
a cross, sable within a border, azure, charged with eight
escallops of the field ; supporters two eagles proper, col-
lared, or pendant therefrom, an escutcheon argent charged
with a cross as in the arms—motto, " Ultra pergcre."

The funeral procession consisted of four mutes centred
by a Nuke mounted with the plume, the hearse, which was
not the old-fashioned box, carriage, but of an improved
character with open sides, drawn by four horses plumed
and draped; displaying open medallions and fringed with
silver, :with a cornet on each side and at the end, the
coffin being partly visible and covered with a rich pauldron
of velvet. The hearse was followed by four moarning
coaches, drawn by two horses draped and plumed.
In the first carriage were Mr. Selwyn, Mr. Beckett, Mr.
Clarke, and Mr. Ogden. In the second were Mr. Wins-
low, the Rev. Henry Howarth, 8.D., and Dr. Hawkesly.
The third carriage contained the Earl of Ellenborough,
General Forrester, M.P., the Hon. Spencer H, Walpole,
M.P., and Mr. Barlow. In the fourth carriage were Mr.
Chandler, his lordship's house steward, Mr. Brown, and
Mr. Grist, confidential servants. Four private family car-
riages followed, and then came the carriages of His Royal
Highness the Duke olCambridge, the Duchess of Cam-
bridge, Lady Glengall, Lady Anne Beckett, and others of
the nobility and gentry who were personally acquainted
with the deceased lord.

Starting from George-street, which was well filled with
people anxious to witness the proceedings, the procession
moved along the south of Hanover-square, Regent-street,
Langham-place, Portland-place, Park-crescent, Albany-
street, Park-street, and through Kentish-town to High-
gate-hill. On reaching the Cemetery the procession was
met by the Rev. Arthur Heber Scholefield, M.A., of Trinity
College, Oxford, who commenced the solemn funeral ser-
vice appointed by the Church. On leaving the chapel the
body was deposited in a brick vault, and the remainder of
the service having been performed, the mourners returned
to town.

The funeral arrangements were under the direction of
Mr. Pike, of Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, assisted by
Messrs, Garston, of Welbeck-street, who supplied all the
appointments. Everything was conducted with the utmost
decorum,

Naval and Military Intelligence.

THE NAVY.

Mr. J. Stansfeld, M.P., Junior Lord of the Admiralty, is
at present daily engaged at Portsmouth Dockyard in inves-
tigating the dockyard system of account-keeping and the
mode of carrying out work in the different deparments of
the yard. The system of keeping the accounts of the yard
may certainly be very much simplified, and there is no doubt
Mr. Stansfeld will, in the end, have reason to be satisfied
with the reforms he may effect. He will, however, be much
less at home in dealing with the great question of labour in
the yard. It certainly is a matter of surprise to those who
frequently visit our great national dockyards that so little
work is done in them. The visitor hears of thousands of
persons employed, and yet sees no work executed to be
compared with what he would expect in a private yard of
the same magnitude. This is precisely the situation at
present in Portsmouth Dockyard. Repairs are being reads
(a work taken in hand certainly net a day too soon), tram-
ways laid down, sheds, stores, and workshops cleansed and
whitewashed, ornamental grass plots formed, trees planted,
and hideous old figure heads stuck up in different parts of
the yard. There are men at work on the Royal Sovereign
certainly, but she is not more than three parts completed,
and 35 or more hands have been taken off her during the
past week, on tho plea that employment cannot be found
for them on board. There is a delay in the delivery of
the armour plates for her turrets, the officials say, and
therefore the men are sent from her to other work. However
the case may lie between the Admiralty officials and the
contractors, certain it is that now, instead of having the
Royal Sovereign afloat by Christmas, as was looked forward
to as a certainty a month or two back, that event is post-
poned until March next. It is impossible to look at the Royal
Sovereign without coming to the conclusion that while the
vast resources and labour of Portsmouth yard have been so
long employed, and are still employed, in simply converting
a broadside into a turret ship, Mr. Laird's yard at Birken-
head—a comparatively petty establishment—turned out
three new turret ships. Can Mr Stansfeld grapple with this
labour question satisfactorily ? If he deals with it on the
broad basis of an en, ire reform of the whole system, he may
achieve, possibly, a satisfactory result, but if he has only
power to deal with it on the ground of retrenchment, he will
fail utterly, as others have failed before him. The dockyard
Istern, like the Admiralty system, is rotten to the core, and
to effect any beneficial reform the existing state of things
must be entirely swept away, and a new one substituted, It
is admitted now by all parties, except among those person-
ally interested, that no permanent reform or good of any
kind can be effected with the Board of Admiralty until it
ceases to be a political board, closely connected with the
Ministry of the day. A similar radical change must take
our dockyards before any permanent good in them
place in
can be effected. Take the shipwrights as an example of the
employed skilled labour of the yards. A man receives 4s. Gd
per day ; he works in a gang of 20, superintended by a
leading hand who has over him an inspector, a foreman
being over all. Now, one mare in this 20 may not earn more
than 3s, per day while the man working next to him may
earn 6s„ yet both aro paid alike. A discretionary power of
measuring work is vested in the master shipwright, but is
never exercised except when extra hands are placed on a
ship and the work is hurried. In such cases, if a man is
found to have shirked his work he is mulcted in his pay ac-
cording to the established scale of prices, It is needless to
say that if a man is found to have done more than his re-
quired quantity of work, ho is not paid the extra money for
it. It certainly seems that here a system of payment accord-
ng to the work done could be introduced with advantage.
It might be so, but not under the present "system." The
leading hand," who has the mast immediate charge of the
gang of 20 men, is but one of themselves, and receives only
6d. per day over the pay of the men under him. Another
aspect from which the employment of labour in our yards
may be viewed is in the repairs of ships in commission, say
the Channel Fleet. The fleet, or a part, as is at present the
case, arrives at Spithead, and every ship requires repairs of
some kind or other which must be carried out by the labourers
at the yard.
Two, perhaps, of the ships go into harbour,
and the necessary work goes on without any loss of time
beyond what "routine" and "system" impose. The ships
at Spithead must remain there, for the moorings in the
harbour are taken up by harbour ships or useless hulks, and
therefore there is no room for ships that have come in from
sea wanting repairs, however urgently their services may
be required, even if an enemy were off in the channel. All the
ships, however, must be repaired, and so men and materials
are sent off to Spithead. The amount of daily work which
can be done by 200 workmen under such circumstances is
very small indeed, as every Commander of a ship that has
lain at Spithead "under repairs" can well remember to his
infinite disgust. When a war comes upon us with any great
naval power, our "heads of departments" say we shall clear
off all the old craft up the harbour, even if we shoved them
on the mud, and remove the present craft off the dockyard
moorings higher up, so that the meetings off the yard
would be available for a dozen ships to come in to from sea
and lie at during their repairs when not in dock. Now,
why should not this be done in times of peace ? Why
must we wait until a war " conies upon us" to provide
the necessary means for the due reception of our ships
in harbour on coming in suddenly from sea for repairs or
refit ? why, in fact, should we continue squandering so
many thousands
annually in this one item alone when the
remedy is so obvious ? Ships and shipwrights have been
referred to thus in connexion with Air. Stanfeld's visit to
Portsmouth yard simply because they are naturally the most
prominent features in our dockyards, but there is no single
department in those establishments but what cries out loudly
for reform. A change is going on in Portsmouth yard, which
has perhaps attracted much notice, from the fact of its oc-
curring during Mr. Stansfeld's presence at the yard. The
steam factory is quietly absorbing the steam reserve.
Whether this process will be finally and successfully accom-
plished, and, if so, whether the Admiralty will sanction and
t, yet remains to be ascertained.

A letter received at Plymouth from a naval officer at
Jamaica states that on the 24th of September there were in
Port Royal hatbour her Majesty's screw steamship Aboukir,
86, Commodore Peter enter° tt, C.B. ; the screw steam
frigate Ariadne, 26, Capt. Ed ward W. Vansittart ; the
Paddlewheel steam sloop Barracouta, 6, Commander George
J. Malcolm; the screw steam sloop Petrol, 11, Commander
george W. Watson; and the screw steam gunboat Cygnet,
5, Commander Walter S. De Kautzon. The vessel last ,
named returned from Port Antonio on the 13th with
machinery damaged, after an ineffectual attempt to save a
stranded schooner (the Quick Step), the cargo of which had
been previously landed. The Barracouta left Port Royal on
the 19th of September to endeavour to settle a disturbance
at Pedro Cays, where the Americans (Northern States) had
landed a gun.
Having accomplished her object, she re-
and was preparing to proceed to St.
turned to Port Royal,
Domingo, where an insurrection had broken out among the
negroes. The screw steam gunvessel Landrail, 5, Corn-
wader W. Arthur, left Port Royal on the 13th of Sept.
The screw steamsloop Desperate, 8, Commander Arthur T .
Trupp, from Tie:lMo, arrived on the 18th, and left on the
22d for England, via Bermuda,
The _Bermuda Royal Gazette of September 15 states that
the Plover, 5, Capt. the Hon. Amer L. Corry, which arrived
there from Halifax on the 10th, left again on the 12th for
Charleston, South Carolina. It was stated that when the
Challenger arrived in Hamilton she would bring instruc-
tions for the ImmortalitCa Capt. Hancock, to proceed to
New York, for the purpose of taking the Commander-in-
Chief, Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, up to the city. The
United States' war ship Fort Jackson, Capt. Allen, three
days from Hampden Roads, anchored at Murray on the 9th,
and left the same day for Rio Janeiro.
The screw steam corvette Polorus, 22, Capt. Boys, left
Plymouth Sound on Thursday for the Cape of Good Hope
and China.
The Dauntless, Capt. J. B. Dickson, is ordered to proceed
from Southampton Water to Spithead, to change some
her guns. She bent sails yesterday morning.
An official intimation has been given that the next exa-
mination of candidates for admission to the Royal Military
College at Sandhurst will commence on Thursday the 17th
December next at Chelsea Hospital, and that for admission
to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich on Monday,
the 4th January, at the same place.

THE BLAKELY GUNS AT CHARLESTON. —We
are given to understand that the heavy gun made on the
Blakely pattern, which recently burst at Charleston, was
constructed at Richmond. The 800-pounders sent from
England were only being mounted when the latest advices
left. The Prince Alfred gun, manufactured by late
Mertsaleyn
Steel and Iron Company, is now the property of CaP
Blakely.

6to 1 agst Catch-'em Alive
1000 to 60 agst Anfield (taken)

BETTJNG AT MANCtIESTER-FRIDAY.

The little done hero for these few days past has been but
a reflex of that done on the course at Newmarket.
Catch'em Alive is decidedly the favourite for the Cam-
bridgeshire Stakes, for whom 11 to 2 was taken and wanted.
Lirnosina is not quite so firm. Carnival, after winning his
match, was in great force. The prices quoted against Ex-
chequer and Bathilde were hardly obtainable at the finish.
