BO W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
'Two medical students, who gave their names tl3
George Thomas and Emanuel Jones, and W. Cameron,
soldier of the Scots Fusiliers, were charged before
11, r• henry with assaulting a boardman belonging to
Ine Chinese Junk, a policeman, and other persons, and
with being drunk and disorderly.
The circumstances were these :—The two " gentle-
men" were passing the end of Essex-street last evening
about seven o'clock, being at the time in a state of in-
IoZiestion, when they observed the boardman standing
lb the middle of the street with his board descriptive of
the Junk, and surmounted with the dragon, &c. The
Prisoner Thomas struck him violently and knocked the
.and out of his hands. He was carrying his

were indignant at the outrage upon the poor boardman.
regular battle took place, the medical stud' nts mak-
afierce resistance, striking and kicking about them
14 every direction. Cameron was also passing at the
time, and thinking the gentlemen overmatched, volun
leered his assistance, and struck the policeman and the
Meta with him repeatedly. At length the three pri-
fters were overcome and taken to the a anion
h use.
Mr. HENRY said that the boardman had no right to
stand in the middle of the street with his board, but
lhat did not justify the conduct of the prisoners. I,
dtd not appear that Jones bad behaved with so much
liolence as the other two, especially as his
dent. He would therefore make a distinction between
their cases. He sentenced Thomas to be imprisoned in
te House of Correction for twenty-one da) s, and
4113i0n for fourteen, whilst he allowed Jones to pay a
Rae of 51.
The fine was immediately paid, and Jones was dis-
titzged. The other two prisoners weze removed in

RAMBLES in tli• CRYSTAL PALACE.
(THIS DAY )
iThe'attendance at the Crystal Palace continues to in-
tieftee• and we perceive that each day is bringing new
~att_
e, a great proportion of, whom are arrivals from
the country. The complaints which were at first raised
.
in the long duration of the ss. admittance, seem new
p have turned into laments for its brevity, fur there is
hat little doubt that an impression is entertained in the
!ountry districts that when the doors are open at a 6611-
rg, the building will be so crowded that locomotion
40n1 department to department will be difficult, and a
lOisfactory inspection absolutely impossible. The con-
k, querns. is, that all who can afford are hurrying up to
Kohn to see as much as possible before the ss. days are
over, and for the next Lou days we expect that the
eamount received at the doors will be greater than ever.
411sfollowing. are a few of the objects which especially
attracted our attention this morning :—ln the mineral
doparteaent, Mr. Nelis, who is proprietor of the Tyrone
c4"stitution paper, exhibits a case of beautiful Irish
• Os, found in the river Strules, at the town of Omagh.

The carriage department contains specimens of almost
111ery description of private carriages which are used—
the stately family baronche, the dashing curricle, the
knowing dog-cart, and the useful brougham. The in-
t:l.l4l carriage, with a door behind for the introduction
of a couch, intended for the use of those who are unable
either to step into a carriage or sit upright, is an object
of great attention, sad when occasionally the attendan,

to gather round. Mr. Anderson, of Elgin, also ex-
hibits Victoria car, by the construction of which
the danger which always seems to attend those who
tide on the back seat of those favourite conveyances of
the day, called dog-carts, is entirely obviated. It is
rattle with high wheels and low seats, so that no acci-
dent can take place. We can scarcely conceive a more
4greeabie vehicle for general use, and its appearance is of
the lightest description.
In the Southern Gallery, immediately over the tran-
sept, is a counter, which will, we are sure, be visited by
*Very Scotchman who enters the Crystal Palace. It is
certainly one of the most interesting national exhibitions
nithin its walls. It consists of a splendid collection of
loom wove tweeds and tartans, exhibited by Mr.
kt`Dougall, of Inverness, arranged in a manner which
cannot fail to catch the eye of the least observant. The
Collection of tartans embraces all the different clans of
the Highlands in various materials, from the finest to
the coarsest. There are also specimens, native manufac-
ture, of every description and of an exceedingly interest-
Lug nature—linsey woolsey made from bug cotton,
tweeds manufactured at the far distant St. Kilda, gloves
fit the wool of the mountain hare, Highland brooches
carved from bog oak, deer-teeth, and cairngorms. Of
this last article, cairngorm or rock-crystal, the speci-
mens exhibited are, we believe, the largest known. Mr.
WDougall, we understand, has been engaged since No-
!caliber last in getting together the collection now exhi-
bited, and certainly it is one of the greatest national
interest.
The specimens of workings in precious metals and
jewellery are of the richest and most admirable descrip-
tion, and would well repay a day's inspection. A vase
exhibited by Messrs. Watherton and Broyden, of Hen
Betts-street, after a design by Mr. Alfred Brown, is a
gem of art of the inoit exquisite nature; it weighs 95
Ounces, and is ornamented with relievos representing the
Britons, Romans, Saxons, and Normans, the progenitors
" the British nation; and below these, introduced into
'concaves, are busts cf litlSol3, WeilingLun, Milton.

is richly ornamented with diamonds, pearls, carbuncle,,

Itrounri.

Is a silver cup, the last work of that kind which was
superintended by .Chantrey. It was presented to Charles
liemble on his retirement from the stage. The frieze
represents the Seven Ages, the figure of Kemble as
'Runlet being placed on the summit.
A testimonial is also exhibited which was presented
to Mr. Lumley, the director of Her Majesty's Theatre,
Modelled and designed by Mr. Brown. The figures
Upon this work of art represent Melpomene, Thalia,
lerpsichore, and Euterpe.

• LONDON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.— ['he annual
festival in aid of the funds of this institution was held
William
at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ; Mr
William Cubitt, M.P., in the chair. Atter the cloth had
been removed, and the usual loyal toasts had been proposed,
the chairman gave the toast of the evenii.g—" Prosperity to
the London Philanthropic Society." This, he said, was one
' of many institutions which had been established for the
• amelioration of the condition of the working claws. The
• society had especial claims upon the public at large on ac-
count of the quiet and unostentatious manner in which it
relieved those who were in distress, when their cases came
ender the cognizance of the society, and who would otherwise
have remained in misery and poverty all the days of their
lives. The Rev. Dr. Carlisle returned thanks for the
Army and Navy and for the Royal Philanthropic Society in
an amusing and acceptable speech; and he proposed the
- health of Dr. Lever, who proposed the health of the
Chairman and the Managing Comm ttee. Upwards of 3001.,
collected during Es was added to the funds of the
the
!society.

of the prosecution' against Mr. Eaton, the master of the
workhouse, have called upon the directors of the poor of St.
Pancras to be favoured with such further explanation or ob-
servations as the governors and directors may think proper
to make, with the view of putting them into complete pos-

as possible in what circumstance the charge originated, upon
a certain
what view it was taken up, and to
forward b y the governors and directors, and why it was ul-
timately abandoned by them." At a numerously
meeting yesterday Mr. Mortimore Timpsou moved, and M
Erie seconded, a resolution that the clerk he directed to forr...
ward to the poor-law board a copy of the evidence taken, and
every other information required.
THE FOUR MONSTER CASKS OF WlNE.—Last
week these extraordinary casks were landed upon the East-
ern Dock-quay, where they have remained awaiting the
erection of shears and the additional apparatus until vest he
when the London Dock Company succeeded in re-
shipping them in lighters, and landing them on the Crescent-
quay. 'lse 'two smaller casks were successfully conveyed to
the place appointed for them (a distance of about 80 y ards),
- without initiryi but to attempt a similar duty with the two
larger " monsters ' has caused the greatest consternation
.• among the Dock authorities, they having great apprehension
• respecting the risk ett:d possibility of moving them further
A consultation took place between Mr. John Fowler, the
importer and consignee, of Wells-street, Cripplegate, the
maker of the monster casks, and the principal manager of
the directors. The company were finally to decide yester-
. day by what means they will undertake to place in safety
these invaluable wines.
WItOII'HERY AT THE GREAT EXHIBITION —Yester-
day information was forwarded to the Police Commissioners
• that a iubbery had been committed in the American depart-
ment o f the Great Exhibition, under very mysterious circum-
stances :—lt appears that Mr. D. W. Wisson, of Hertford,
Connecticut, amongst other articles, had sent a peculiar de-
' tached breecber rifle pistol, with stock to form a gun. The
article in question was found in its proper place ,os the day
of her Majesty opening the Exhibition,me person o
butitwrapsersyeosnts erdayWad to have been stolen by so
un-
known. The article, although of trifling value in comparison
with some of the -other things in the palace, has caused no
little consternation amongst the officials, they having con-
sidered, from the strong police force kept in the bu iding, that
it was next to an impossibility for any one to commis a
robbery within the Exhibition •
