pleasing. On this stand there are some excel- I
lent specimeng. of biscuit statuettes, chiefly copies
of Thorwaldsen's works. The Copenhagen Art
Society also exhibits various specimens of porce-
lain ware, and some very clever works in silver
and bronze. There is also a piece of repousse
work, intended for the top of a lady's work-
table, of considerable merit. A case of brooches,
bracelets, and other ornaments in gold after Etrus-
can and Roman patterns, will, perhaps, not bear com-
parison with the exquisite beauty of Signor Castel-
lani's gems in the Italian Court, but the quickness
with which this revival of ancient art has been
caught up, and the finish of the workmanship, speak
highly for the taste and skill of the Copenhagen
goldsmiths. One of the chief attractions we can
hardly call it—but certainly curiosities—of the
Danish Court is the '• oateotome," an ingenious me-
chanical contrivance, invented by Professor Nyrop,
of Copenhagen, for performing difficult operations
on bony substances. There is a large display of
surgical instruments, which appear to be all of first-
rate quality. Another interesting feature of the
department is the very ample collection of Green-
land furs and Esquimaux dresses.
We understand that on Saturday last, as soon as
Mr. Palgrave had withdrawn his _Handbook, from
sale in the Exhibition, Lord Granville wrote to
Baron Marochetti, expressing, for himself and his
colleagues, their great regret that a work the sale of
which within the building had been authorized by
the Commissioners should have contained criticisms
on distinguished artists who had been invited to
contribute to the Exhibition, the tone and substance
of which the Commissioners disapproved.
The arrangements are now completed for carrying
out the idea suggested by the large employers of
labour who desire to distribute tickets among their
workpeople, and packets of halfcrown and shilling
tickets may now be obtained at the Commissioners'
offices. The public will nut be surprised to hear
that the Queen, with her usual kind consideration,
has been the first to avail herself of the plan, and
that she has already purchased a considerable num-
ber of halfcrown tickets for distribution among the
pupils of the art schools, and persons connected with
the Royal household.

SURREY SESSIONS—May 21.

(Before S. E. Johnson, Esq., Chairman.)
John Wilson, 52 years of age, described on the
calendar as a betting-man, was indicted for stealing
a cash box containing five £5 Bank of England
notes, about £3O in gold and silver, and a gold
watch and chain, the property of Alexander Har-
greaves, the landlord of the Free Masons' Arms,
Courland-place, Larkhall-lane, Clapham ; also with
stealing a cash-box containing £65, the property of
of Mrs. Ruth Stubbs, the landlady of the Royal
William public-house, Dorset-street, Clapham-road.
This case lasted several hours, and excited con-
siderable interest in the crowded court. The facts,
however, may be briefly summed up as follows :
On the evening of the 4th of March the prisoner
and another man visited Mr. Hargreaves' house.
He was supplied with a glass of ale in the parlour,
and some time afterviards the prosecutor ascertained
that his bedroom had been entered, and his cash-
box, containing the money and the gold watch and
chain, had been stolen. The prisoner had decamped,
and nothing more was heard of the robbery until
the 14th ult., when the prisoner offered one of the
stolen £5 notes for change at the Rockingham
Arms, New Kent-road, when he was given into
custody. The prisoner was also identified by the
barmaid of Mrs. Stubbs as being in the Royal
William public-house, Dorset-street, Clapham-road,
on the 16th of November. During the absence of
Mrs. Stubbs thieves managed to enter the, parlour
and carry off the cash-box containing £65. The
bank notes were produeed by Mr. Bailey, inspector
of bank notes in the Bank of England, and traced
to the prisoner. A great deal of evidence was gone
into, and after a lengthy address to the jury by the
learned counsel, a verdict of guilty was returned.
Former convictions having been proved against
the prisoner,
The Chairman sentenced him to ten years' penal
servitude.
William Aked, 15, was indicted for stealing three
diamond studs (value £80), a five-guinea piece of
the reign of Queen Anne, and other articles of
jewellery of great value, the property of Mr. Joseph
White, of the firm of White and Fairchild, whole-
sale grocers, in High-street, Boroughs and Alfred
Tuffell, 25, and Susan Aked, 49, were indicted for
receiving a portion of the property, knowing it to be
stolen.

It appeared from the learned counsel's statement
that Tuffell and the lad Aked ware in the employ-
of the prosecutor at 13, High-street, as ware-
houseman and errand-boy. On the evening of
Saturday, the 12th ult., Mr. White entered his
bedroom, and discovered that a drawer had been
opened, and he missed three diamond studs, a gold
pin, a five 'guinea piece, and a masonic jewel. He
was compelled to go to Brighton immediately, but
he mentioned the circumstances of the robbery to
Mr. Richards, the Inspector of the Brighton
Railway Company's Police, who investigated the
matter, and traced the property. The younger
prisoner had offered one of the diamonds for
sale at Mr. Brookes', silversmith, High-street, when
he was stopped, and the female hnd parted with an-
other to a pawnbroker; and Tuffell had also sold
the five-guinea piece to a money dealer in Lom-
bard-street for £5 2s.
The jury found them all guilty, and
The Chairman sentenced each to 12 months' hard
labour.

Francis Chesnall, 16, pleaded guilty to embezzl-
ing various sums of money belonging to his master,
Mr. S. Austin, butcher, Rotherhithe-wall.
The Deputy-Chairman sentenced him to four
months' hard labour,

Robert Henderson, 44, was indicted for stealing
a piece of silk, value £l7, from the premises of Mr.
G. Picken, draper, High-street, Southwark.
The prisoner had been in the prosecutor's employ,
but was discharged on account of some disagree-
ment. He, however, was allowed to sell on com-
mission for the prosecutor, and on one of his visits
he contrived to steal the piece of silk.

The jury found him gu4ilty, and
The Court sentenced him to six months' hard
labour.

Elijah Charlton, 21, was indicted for burglari-
ously breaking into the dwelling-house of Sarah
Edwards, and stealing therein a quantity of bacon
cigars, &c., at Richmond.
Mr. G. Allan prosecuted, and Mr. Thompson (in-
structed by Mr. Edwin) defended the prisoner.
Virdict—guilty. Sentence, four months' hard
labour.
