THE CII/NESE EXHIBITION.

The collector of this museum has chosen a most
opportune moment fur again presenting to the public
this exposition of the arts, manufactures, and industrial
habits of the Chinese. A commodious and elegant
building has been erected adjoining the Albert-gate,
and, from its near proximity to the World's Fair,
more appropriate site could not have been selected for
the convenience of those visitors who feel an interest
in matters connected with the " Celestial Empire."
Many interesting articles have been added to the
collection since it was last exhibited, and an addi-
tional attraction is promised in the person of " Pwan-
ye-koo," a Chinese lady of rank, with " lotus feet
two and a half inches in length," who is to be ac-
companied by her children, several attendants, and a
native musical professor. This lady is expected to
arrive in the course of is few days, and there can be
no doubt that her " tiny" feet will excite a degree
of curiosity quite disproportioned to their diminu-
tive size.

THE CHINESE JUNK.
This curious specimen of Chinese ingenuity con-
tinues
still to attract numerous visitors, whose at-
tention is divided between wonder that such a strange
barque should have made the voyage to England, and
the extraordinary 'number of articles, whether em-
ployed for domestic use or for religious worship,
which meet the eye of the visitor at every turn,
presenting a curious picture of the semi-civilised
condition of this singular people. The appearance
of the crew who navigated this uncouth craft
through the Indian ocean and across the Atlantic, are
not the least of the curiosities that attract the atten-
tion of visitors.

THREE FIRES YESTERDAY.
Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, the neigh-
bourhood of Blandford-square, was thrown into a state
f e derable confusion, in consequence of a fire of a
seericZsicharacter breakirg out in the private residence
of Mr. R. Billows, 11, Sherborne-street, running into the
above-named square.
Tho flames originated from some cause at present un-
known, and although most of the inmates were at home
at the time, tbs existence of the fire was not known
until it had broken through the roof, and was seen by
the neighbours on the opposite side of the street. The
engines of the London Brigade and parish were soon on
the spot, and were set to work, but in spite of the exer-
tions of the firemen the flames could net be conquered
until the whole of the upper portion of the premisfs,
with the furniture therein, were totally consumed, the

lower part, and its contents, seriously damaged. No.knk',

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Mancha-ter Guardian.)
M.A.NCHESTEIt, TIIESDAY.—Tne increased excess of
eeceilats at the American ports has contributed to a still
farther weakening of public confidence in the present
value of the raw material; and this effect has, in its
turn, operated unfavourably upon the market for yarns
and goods. In general, an impression that some fur-
ther decline in prices must take place has kept the
buyers very much aloof from business; and the aggre-
germ of the day's transantions is therefore inconsiderable.
h ',re is, in some respects, a good deal of variance be-
tween the experience of differeet persons—some having
had more offers or • found rather more inquiry; others
waking an opposite statement; all agreeing, however,
as to an unfavourable tendency in prices. There is no
douht that the German merchants (whose advices show
an active consumption at home, with very scanty sup-
plies) are restrained from operating largely in Yarns
solely by the view above reterred to; and, as itsome
of tin m have been induce d, by the concession of
I. per lb., to venture upon purchases of fair d.
amount.ior

Some uf the makers of domestics have also succeeded
selling on slightly reduced terms.
ROCHDALE, MOZIDA.Y.—There has been a

ber of sales. The wool aseeket, has been dull,

SATURDAY.—There were not neatly buyers

more freely, at fully late rates.

THE CHARGE AGAINST THE MASTER
_ OF ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE.

. On Tueedsy.the usual weekly meeting of ,the directors
and guardians of the poor was held in the Board-room
of St. Pancras Workhouse, Mr. Churchwarden Baker in
the chair.
After some general con;ftsation respecting the charge
preferred against the master of the workhouse,
Mr. E. Hicastate Said that he observed in the report of
the proceedings before the magistrat?, that Mr. Ccwibe
erdered• that the master should have no communication
with the girl Elizs Smith. He (Mr. H.) did not under-
stand how the magistrate's order could be enforced while
the master was in full po,sesaion of his office, which be
continued to execute.—(Hear, hear.)
• Mr. Churchwarden FRAZER that every care .was
taken' to prevent the communication. The girl was
placed order the care of sPisid-niirse, who was directed
to prevent her seeing the master or any one else,,excbpt-
ing the surgeon.
Mr. Ilicsaute—Who could or who dare prevent
the master seeing or speaking with the girl? If any
one dared to prevent him he (the master) could discharge
the person.
Mr. Coos (the clerk)—lf the nurse disobeyed the or-
ders of the board she would be dismissed.—(Hear.)
Mr. HICKMAN cared nothing about " ifs" or " buts,"
he only wished to be informed whether all communica-
tion .between the master and the girl was prevented?
Mr. Churchwarden FRAZER—The nurse was ordered
not to allow any communication betweon them; and
wa+.further informed that a disobedience of the order
of the board would be attended with her dismissal, _

Mr. TchoodAti put the question as a matter of duty,
because Mr. Combo had emphatically forbid any com-
munication between the master and his accuser.
Mr. CooKE—That was not correct, fur Mr. Combe not
only interdicted all communication between the master
and the girl, but also between her playmates, and all par-
ties likely to influence her.—(Hear.)
Mr. HlCENAN—Justice to the meter, to the girl, to
the public, and to themselves, rendered it necessary
that the magistrate's order should be strictly observed.
Mr. DYKE—And so it was.

Mr. Cburchwarden FRAZEA—She was not left in care
of tne schoolmistress, because s. report prevailed that a
bad feeling existed between ber and the master.
The subject her,. droppsd, and the hoard adjburned.

THE FitIMLL Yi GANG.
EXTRAORDINARY. DISCLOSURES.

LEWES, MESDA.Y.—Since, the committal et James
Hamilton (the mAgistrutes having refused to take his
evidence on behalt of the Crown), he has made a full
confession of all the burglaries which he and the gang
have been engaged is during the last twelve months.
The document is of a very extraordinary character, and
shows the immense amount of daring possessed by these
to n. He has also made some revelations to the police
otkers engaged in the case, by which they have been
enatil,d- to discover the receivers of the stolen property,
but frt.rp obvious reasons we are at prssent prevented
from mentioning their names. It is, however, believed
that sr:me portion of the great amount of valuable pro-
perty which has been stoles may yet be restored to the
owners.

Hamilton, in the commencement of his confession,
suttee .'that the gang consistedofr thehimself, Levi Har-
wood fo
and Samuel Jones (hungmtirder of Mr.
Holiest), Samuel Harwood, John and-Edward Isaacs,
William Brooks, Joseph Carter, John and J
alias Smith, Hiram Smith, Thomas Toot, alias Morgan,
Lanh'
William HiDyer, John Brooks, Mary Crowder,
White, and• James Jones. John Isaacs was duly elected
captain, and all the others acted under his direction.
They were all sworn to obey the orders of the captain,
and if any one attempted to back out, or refused to take
part in any robbery or murder, if necessary. he or she
was to be instantly shot; and if any one left the gang
withetit the consent of the captain, be or she were to be
followert, and if overtaken to be shot."

hour after I bad left the men, and bad retuned to Lop_

quired for Brooks; and they came and asked me where
I was going? I told them I did not know, as I was a
stranger to the 'c'ouziry. They searched the tents, but
they did not search me,. although I had the money on
me which I bad shared. This was the same morning
as the robbery at .11ayward's-heath. Whilst the men
were sharing the money the women bid the clothes, and
that. was why the policemen did not find them. The po-
licemen knew the women, and watched them, and talked
to tbeth fdr half an hour. I then moved to a place called
• the Chelan% by myself, but ono tent with John

I Isaacs's wife, afterwards came there. The two Brookses
and John Lams and myself bad each one wife
and one tent, and I had a little girl with
my wife. John Isaacs was to meet me at
the Chesnnts, after he had sold the property. He was
gone a week or better. When be came back he said
there was only 30s. each, besides the guineas, of which
he had only sold one, with the other_ gold, to see what
it would fetch, keeping the others back, so that the
Guildford man should not have his share of them. He
took the guineas again to sell, and gave me a sovereign
down, on a promise to pay me the remainder; but he did
not give me any more money. There was a quarrel amongst
us about a large quantity of plate, which some of them
said Isaacs had concealed and bought his wagget with.
Shortly after this I tell in with Win. Brooks again, near
Henfield, in Sussex, and I and Ned Isaacs went back
again with Brooks. We all three met in Wiucham-
lane, new Henfield, and from there to a place caked

On the afternoon of Tuesday, the 31st of December
last, we, James Ilatniltnn, John Isaacs, Joseph Carter,
alias Cockman, John Smith, alias Hones, James Smith,
alias Hones, Thomas Pont, alias Merger!, William Hill
yet.. and William Brooks met. After various meseages
and communications between nureelves, I (Hamilton)
and Brooks and his wife, and James Smith, esme on
from Edeubridge to Crowborough. The other five men
whom we met at Eteubridge agreed to meet us at
Groom bridge, at a barn there just outside. These five
men went to break open a publio-house of Master Ken-
bard's, called the Old Pie. These five men met us out
of Groombridge next morning, just about daylight.
Brooks went to look after them, and found them in the
corner of the wood close to the road. Tney gave us a
plum-cake sad a bottle of wine, and some e hisky, and
tobacco done up in pennyworths. I (Hamilton) had
four, James Smith had four. We (same) three meu and
the woman went on again, having agreed to meet the
flee men the same isf.ernooo (Wednesday) just off
Crowborough-commoo, in a foreign on the Uckfielti
side. Three of us, Isaacs, Carter, and myself, went
into Miss Farncombe'a house, and got there between
eight and nine o'clock to lay in front of the house and
see how many lights and watch them to bed. We saw
the latter fasten the front door. When the house was
dark and quiet we were to go back to some haystacks
close by, where we eight were to meet until it was time
to go. We all met at the haystack between the pay gate
and the house, on the opposite side to Miss Faracumbe's.
We all went to Miss Farncombe's house, and as we were
going we met a woman and either two or three men on
the road. We were all eight together then. We had
left Brooks's wife back at her uncle's, at Crowborough.
There are two gates to Miss Fisrncombe's house, one tor
a foot road leading to the beck door, and one the carriage
road. We left James Smith just inside the little gate to
watch. Some of us went down the big gate, leaving me
(Hamilton) to watch there in case any one came along
the road, and togive notice if any one should. Three or
tour men came Along soon afterwards. I watched them
safe away, and did not give any alarm to those in the
house. In a little while two more men came along and
passed. I think they were gamekeepers. Just before
they got into the house, one of them came nut to me
and said, I am going to stand near that little bush.'
Thomas Morgan and he desired me to give him notice it
any one c-itne,. and he would let them know. When the
two gamekeepers came along I went to tell Morgan, and
did not find him; and soon after be (Morgan) came to
me and brought me a bottle of wine. He said they
had got in, and were rummaging below. Morgan went
back to the house, and a little afterwards he returned to
me again, and he said, They be all come out, and they
think they heard somebody.' They all came out up to
this little gate, and there they all stripped and pulled oil
their clothes and shoes, and pat on their masks, and said,
We will all go up.' We were all eight together then-.
I left the gate to meet them, and after talking about
leaving some one outside, we all agreed to go into the
house toge:ner. We all eight went in through the pantry
window, but Morgan, who was first ready, ran forward
to the house and got a light. We seven, seeing the light,
thought there was somebody come down. Isaac; with
ao oath, said, Oh, come along, follow we; give me the
'pistols, and I will go and fix him.' When we got to the
house we found it was Morgan with the light. Then we
all went in through the pantry window to the kitchen or
front parlour, where we found the butler's coats and
some of the females' bonnets. Brooks put one of the
bonnets on, and Carter put on another; and we put the
butler's coats on, and I (Hamilton) put one on handed
me by Morgan. We all searched about the house. We
found the canisters. Four of us went up one
pair of stairs, and four the other. Isaacs, John
Smith and myself, and another, went up one stair
case. The first room we went into there were two
ladies. Isaacs gave me the candle, and I followed
him. There was no violence in that room. Isaacs
broke open everything that was broken open, and I held
the candle to him. Isaacs asked the ladies where the
plate was. The ladies said, • That is in the pantry,
down stairs.' Lewes and the others took ail the valuable
things in that room. They went into another room,
leaving me behind, holdirg the candle. I did not take
anything in that room. They left me there to mind the
doors, and the ladies begged of me to go outside, for
they would be still. I had a mask ou all that time. I
went outside, holding the door iu my hand. I never
left the door but once all the time the rest were rum-
maging about the house, and that was while they were
going into another room where there was, I believe, only
one talk. I beard the lady scream, aid ask, ' Is that
you, William?' I said, Yes, it is William, math,
don't be frightened; noshing is the matter.' Carter wa •
at the door with a pistol in his band, and when I made
answer, It is William,' he turned round and was
going, to shoot me, only I sung out, all right.'
Then I returned back to the door again to wind the
two ladies, and there I remained until they were all
ready to leave the house. Isaacs returned back to the
room where I was, and said, "Take that little box under
your arm.' The ladies had before that b-gged that it
might not be taken, because it belonged to their grand•
father, I think they said. I took the box down stairs,
and we all went away together. This was between four
and. five o'clock in the morning. When we came out
we turned to the Isft and went up the road. We till
eight kept together until we came to Cro wboroueh-
common, to the forest near the road as we came. We
tarried off the main road at the top of the hid to the
left; and went across the common and a wheat-field and
down into a wood, and there we all eight sat down, and
had some breakfast from what we had brought from the
house, consisting of some hare, veal, roast mutton, and
I think some hog's-meat, some loaves of bread, two
whole cheeses, and two raw hams. We all -shared this
after breakfast, a sovereign tied 7s. each in money, but
there was a deal more money smuggled ausoisgst them
selves. I (Hamilton) had a 5/. note also, which I got
out of a pocket-book which Isaacs gave me as we went
along to carry, and put it into my pocket. There was a
good many more notes in the book. I gave him the book.
and Isaacs took out the notes and give me the book
again, because the others knew I had gut thy book. He
said he would give me half what his got for the notes
This was going along before our breakfast. After the
breakfast and afar the sharing of tae money we looked
the plate over, and broke up what tee thought was not
silver. There aere two gold watches and two silver
ones; the two golo eatchss were along with the place,
and the silver plate which came from the Old Pie public-
house was put along with it. The two silver watches
were put up amongst us !or those who would give most
tor tbein. Carter was the highest bidder at Ils. for the
small watches; and she other oue, a. doubl--cased one,
was taken by Morgan tor 25e. f he trinkets were all
tied up together and put with the plate. Isaecs took all
the plate, &e. in a fl ,g basket. A cutlass w is taken from
the house, and a tree choppsd with it. Hillyer took the
cutlass. We stayed in the wood until nearly ten o'cle'ck is
the morning. We parted at the wood that Thursday
morning. I and J .mss Smith and John Smith came awes
and indeed from she other five, who went another way up
through the wood. We agreed to meet at another place,
and before Lases took the plate to L radon we were
all eight to meet an Waliingham.on tae Friday night.
We three went on to Grouusoridge, and John Smith was
so tired that we could not get him along the road. We
went into the public-houses at Groomoridg-, where we
had a good deal of beer. We the re got tipsy. I dropped
a sovereign, and John Smith picked it up and put it into
his pocket, and took a shilling out of the other pocket
and offered it to me. I had him taken by the constable.
.The sovereign I dropp d was what was given me in the
wood. The constable took John Smith into custody
upon my charge to Tunbridge Wells that (Thursday)
afternoon. I slept at Groombridge tnat night in the inn,
and James Smith was put into the stable. When I was
tipsy the landlord took 183. 6d. from me to take .are of.
Inm the morning, when I got up, I asked the landlady for
aeon the which she reused to give me until she had
conatable. I went to the constable, and told

Isaacs was to come himself by the first third-class train
I from Reading to Woking, and I was to meet bun. I met
'him there. He came to my house the same Saturday
afternoon,t.
ey expecting to find Hilly er and. Toot that Satur-
day nigh
did not come. Isaacs stayed with me
Isaacs went alone on Sunday morning
all Sunday t the alias- two ones
to Rienbridge and on the way me
Smiths, and asked them to be of the party. Toot and
night. I
'Hiltyer were there before us. Brooks and Carter were
there also. 'That made eight."
It is estimated that the amount of property stolen by
;be"' men during the last two years cannot be less than
Morton, the. superintendent o
`'s"i• When Isaacs was appf
the Tunbridge. Wells
rehended at Frome Mr.
police, succeeded in tracing to the possession of the pri-
soner a valuable diamond ring, a gold chain, and a silver
hunting watch,w,in •
ch were a portien of the property
stolen from the
Misses Farncombe in December last.
These articles ho
use
where on his person, and in the
were.
. .
where he was staying. Mr. -
Morton'immediately seized

them, and the friends of the prisoner forthwith applied
to the county court at From', and procured a summons,
which has been served on Mr. Morton for the amount of
10/. 10a.. the alleged value of the articles.
It will be seen, from the statements above given, that
the band of burglars known as the "Frimley gang" is
now c mpletely broken up. At the last sitting of the
magistrates, the Chairman of the bench publicly stated
that the whole credit of the capture of these daring men,
and the exposure of their system, was due to Mr. Bid-
deleombe, the superintendent of the Surrey police.
