RAMBLES in the CRY STAL PALACE

(THIS DAY.)
The receipts of yesterday at the Crystal Palace
amounted to 3,2504, of which 6761. was from the sale
of season tickets, and the remainder, 2 5541., from the
ss. fee for admittance. The continued sale of season
tickets is a result which we have always anticipated,
since the first view of the Exhibition is quite sufficient
to convince any one that a dozen visits will not suffice
for a satisfactory inspection, and for all who may be
able to visit it so frequently, a dozen visits will have
found out long ago that a season ticket is by far the
cheapest method of going to work. %ye confess that we
do not share in the anticipation that inconvenience, at
any rate considerable, will result from the over-crowoing
of the place even during the shilling season; but it
Would still be well if some provision were insti-
tuted to prevent the admission of more visitors
than would allow perfect freedom of locomo-
tion from one department to another. Even now,
at some hours of the day in the transept and
some parts of the nave it ir, difficult to move along; but
a proportion of the present class of visitors flack to the
Crystal, Palace as an afternoon lounge, and scarcely
think of penetrating beyond the transept and the main
avenues ; these, of course, will not be there on the
shilling days, and, altogether, we may assume that the
mass of visitors will be more equally spread over the
building than at the present. Neither do we consider
that the full powers of the buildinc, have yet been
tested, since a considerable portion of' the foreign de-
partments, especially in the rear—the galleries, do not
yet admit visitors. Whatever arrangements are to be
made, however, must be done speedily, as there remains
but a short time before the crowding may be
expected.
In Section 22, No. 265, we noticed several large
spe-
cimens exhibited, by M. Felix Abate, of two entirely
new processes for printing on, and otherwise orna-
menting, metallic surfaces. The first is an electro-
chymical process ; the laws of electricity, developed by
the contact of some metals with the saline solutions of
others, aro hero applied to produce inscriptions
or bright ornaments, with a dark ground on
Metallic sheets, bars, or tubes, thus opening an entirely
new field to the art of printing. and an endless variety
of useful applications in the manufacture of metallic
wares. The other process is chymical, and produces,
through the application of metallic colours, similar but
still more striking effects. Both the
processes are re-
markable for cheapness and facility. of execution.
The same exhibitor has also produced three machines,
With specimens executed by these machines, for smooth-
ing, planing, burnishing, and ornamenting metallic
d
sheets, bars, and tubes, and also for smoothing and
polishing sheets of glass, and of wood for veneering
instantaneously,
and All these effects are produced nstantaneously,
and with astonishing perfection.
A book-case, by the Messrs. Hollands, upholsterers,
of Merylebone-street, intended to form the entire Bide
of a library. It is about twenty-five feet in length, and
between thirteen and fourteen in height. In the centre
is an aperture for a chimney-piece, the embellishments
of which appear to be Per zance marble, but the entire
absence of polish renders it difficult to speak with cer-
tainty. The wood is walnut-tree, bat the details of the
carving are far from being admirably wrought, and the
dingy appearance of the walnut wool gives to the whole
a very gloomy aspect. Its ponderous size has nothing
to enliven it. Narrow slips of green marble, introduced
as panelling, we presume are to represent malachite.
In place of the original they would be much better
omitted. In spite of the gilded perforations in two of
the largest panels, the contrast is not sufficiently power-
ful to give any richness or colour to the general clumsy
effect, which is dismal and funereal throughout. A
bad specimen in the Italian style!
TELEGRAPHING AT S. EA.—Dempster's new equilateral
triangular telegraph isno w in a complete working
shape in the Great Exhibition. In the catalogue it is
mentioned under the head of " Naval Architecture, Class
8, No. 313." The advantages claimed by the author of
this invention may make the sous of the ocean put on

THE SUN,

their considering caps. The telegraph stands on the
south gallery, east end of the building, beside the flag-
staff. There is a large map with dra u ings, plainly showing
that with four flags—white, red, blue, and yetlo a--the
twenty-eight characters of the alphabet are fully sym-
bolized upon an entirely new principle of changing
colours, and to appearance there in never more than ono
flag hoisted to the mast-head at a time. This experi-
ment Mr. Dempster practically demonstrates in the
Great Exhibition as being a decided improvement upon
all other flag telegraphs for showing numbers or letters
during light winds, or calms, &e. Beaidea the map
there is a small printed volume suspended to a brass
chain. This volume contains Mr. Dempster's intro-
duction to the telegraph, with rules and exareples for
the vocabulary, &c. Some general information on the
subject of fi-hery improvements appears also in its
pages. The questions and answers, sentences, &c., are
under an alphabetical arrangement. The numbers to cor-
respond with the seatenc;,!s are also made out upon an
entirely new principle. In Mr. Dempster's intro luc-
tion to telegraphs he plainly shows that with four car-
dinal flags—white, red, blue, and yellow, and four distin-
guishing pend,nta (eight flags in all), he can commence
with No. 1, and proceed up the scale in an unbroken
chain of numbers until he arrives at 128,576. More
than this might easily be obtained by u slight vai ia-
tion, but as such a quantity of numbers is considered
sufficient for any marine vocabulary or dictionary, and
as the 123,576 numbers are derived in a clear, correct,
scientific, and uniform principle, Mr. Dempster bas
ceased his labours from ringing any more changes. In
most other signal books extant all numbers where more
figures than one of the same sort occur are passed alto-
gether; this Mr. Dempster does not consider a scientific
arrangement.

THE LAW ASSOCIATION.—The 34th annual general
meeting of this association, established for the benefit of wi-
dows and families of professional men in the metropolis and
vicinity, was held on Thursday, at the Hall of the Incor-
porated Society, Chancery-lane; Augustus Warren, Esq.,
one of the treasurers, was in the chair. The report, which
was read by Mr. J. Murray, the secretary, stated, inter

to announce that 101. 105. had been given to the asso-
ciation by Mr. John Jaques ,• Si. ss. by the Principal of
Staples Inn ; 51. ss. by Mr. J. G. Hough ; 1/. Is. by Mr.
11. P. Bird ; and 21. 2s. annually by the widow of Mr.
Michael Clayton. The Master of the Rolls, and his
Honour Vice-Chancellor Turner, had both consented to
become vice-presidents of the association. No new case
of the primary class had come before the board during
the past year ; whilst, on the other hand, one of the
claimants, on her marriage, voluntarily resigned all claim
on the funds. The outlay in this branch of relief has
been this year 085/., being less than in the preceding year.
The sum voted at the last annual meeting for the benefit of
the widows and families of persons who had been, or who
had ceased to be, subscribers to the society, was 2001., being
50/. more than the grant for the previous ye?.r. Relief had
also been afforded to six other cases, and there is now a ba-
lance of only 18/., which consequently falls into the general
fund of the association. The directors hoped that a similar
grant for the next year would relieve them from the painful
nessity of rejecting applications, which they cannot but think
the subscribers in general would be willing to include
amongst the objects of their benevolence, but which cannot
receive much attention if this Lind be much under 200/.
During the year, notwithstanding the issuing of an address
at its commencement, only seventeen new members had been
obtained. Since the last meeting 2001. had been purchased
in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., thereby increasing
the funded property to 10,8001. in the Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents., and 10,2001. in the Three per Cents. Reduced.
The report having been adopted, the vice-presidents and
other officers were elected, and a vote of thanks to the chair-
man closed the proceedings.
ANOTHER ROBBERY AT THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—
Yesterday, a second robbery in the Exhibition building
was reported. The article now stolen is a lady's dagger of
a very unique description. It is only six inches long, in the
form of a cross, having steel blade, ivory handle, and silver
cross ornamenting it, and enclosed in a purple case. The
property was seen safe shortly before ten, and at a quarter-
past it was found missing. Immediately the loss was made
known at all the entrances, and extra constables stationed,
in order to catch the guilty_ party ; they, however, got clear
away.
M. MAZZ(NI.—The manifesto to the revolutionary
committee in London, which has been going the round of
the Paris and London journals as emanating from M. Maz-
zini, has been denied by that gentleman.

ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOOLWICH, MAY 16.—Cap-
tain Mundy's company, 6th battalion, embarked at Roff 's-
wharf this morning in one of the Woolwich steam-vessels,
for conveyance to Sheerness, to be stationed there. Forty-
seven gunners and two buglers embarked at the same time
to fill up the three companies removed from Chatham to
Sheerness to-day. It is expected that an additional com-
pany will be stationed at the Tower, and at Portsmouth and
Sheerness, on the arrival of the three companies ordered
home from llalifax, Nova Scotia, and Canada.

DOVER, SATURDAY, 2.10 A.M.—Their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg, Prince Lei-
ningen, and the Duke of Wurtemburg and suite, arrived at
Dover from Calais at 12 30 A.M. in her Majesty's packet
Garland, Captain Wylde. They were received on landing by
Mr. James M'Gregor, chairman of the South-Eastern Rail-
way, and will leave Dover fur London per special train at
10 A.M.
ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A DAUGHTER.---A man,
named Robert Carpenter, and Louisa, his wife, were ex-
amined before the magistrates at Bristol yesterday, upon a
charge of cruelty towards Christina Carpenter, a girl sixteen
years of age, the daughter of the male prisoner by a former
wife. The evidence of the girl, whose body was in a wretched
state from debility and sores, was to the effect that she had
been confined in a small room up stairs for a period of three
months, till at last she made her escape; that sufficient food
was not given her, and that both the prisoners, particularly
the female, had severely beaten her. After a lengthened in-
quiry, the case was adjourned.
We understand that a fine dish of green peas was
gathered from the garden of W. Carrie, Esq., of Ellenglaze
House, on Wednesday last.—Royal Cornwall Gazette.
We believe that the office of Clerk of the Crown,
about to be vacated by Lord Cottenham, is to be filled up by
the appointment of C. J. Tindal, Esq., son of the late much-
respected Lord Chief Justice.
MR. GROOM'S COLLECTION OF TULIPS.—The
friends and patrons of Mr. Groom, the florist at Clapham-
rise, were in the course of yesterday afternoon admitted to a
private view of his tulip show. The exhibition was one of
great interest and astonishing variety, no less than 2,000
roots of the finest specimens of the tulip being displayed
under an awning measuring 156 feet in length. Among
these flowers we observed some specimens of those tulips
which amateurs set such store by, for instance, the Victoria
Regina, Prince of Wales, Duke of Norfolk, Nourri Effendi,
Addison, Catalani, Marshalt eoult, Dr. Horner, and many
new combinations of colour and shape, none of which have
as vet been introduced to public notice. The impression
produced by so many and such exquisitely timed flowers
was most pleasing, and Mr. Groom's exhibition is most in
teresting.
AMERICAN SLAVERY.—The Temperance Demon-
stration Committee have unanimously passed the following
resolution :—" That while this committee desire to cherish
the most friendly feelings and to exercise all the require-
ments of fraternal and Christian hospitality towards any
advocates of temperance from America who may visit this
country, they feel it to be their imperative duty not to wel-
come to their platforms, or to any conference which may be
held on the subject of temperance, any minister of religion or
other gentleman, whatever may be his reputation in his own
country, who hesitates to avow his abhorrence of slavery,
and his earnest desire for its abolition, or who acts under the
influence of the unnatural prejudice against the coloured
portion of the population."
THE LATE THUNDER STORMS.-Last week,
during a violent thnnder storm in Essex, several labourers
at Dengie took refuge by the side of some mustard straw.
Alarmed by the vivid play of the lightning over the straw,
five of the men quitted the spot ; one, who lingered behind,
was instantly struck dead. At Edinburgh, just as a wedding
party were about to enter a drawing-room, a flash of light-
ning struck the chimney, passed through the room, and
broke its way out through the window. If any of the party
had been in the room it is supposed there would have teen
loss of life. On the 24th ult. a thunder storm broke over
Upwell, Lincolnshire. The lightning set fire to a mill, and
killed a labourer. On the same day, at Barrowby, a fine old
ash tree was struck, the bark peeled off from top to bottom,
and two or three divisions made through the trunk. A farm
house at Norton, in Gloucestershire, was struck by lightning
on Wednesday week, and considerable damage was done.
The inmates fortunately escaped. Among other freaks, the
electric fluid effectually swept the chimney.
THE WINDOW-TAX.—The Board of Stamps and
Taxes have issued instructions to the assessors throughout
the country, directing them not to make any assessment of
the window-duties for the current year. These instructions
amount to a repeal of the tax, commencing from the sth of
April last.
LEICESTER TRADE.—No material alteration from
last week can be reported in the state of trade. Shipping
orders to some extent have been received; but these in a
large measure have been Met by the stocks on hand—so that
tho amount of employment remains about the game.

LITERATURE.

STUART OF DUNLEATH.

By the lion. Mrs

3 Vols. Colbzirn.

" The power of writing," says Mrs. Norton, in her
preface, has always been to me a source of intense
pleasure ; it has been my real solace in hours of
gloom, and the name I have earned, as an author, in
my native land is the only happy boast of my life."
That happiness and that boast will be more than ever
justified and augmented by the publication of this
work. " Stuart of Dunleath," although one of the
most mournful, is one of the most beautiful, the
most enthralling, and the most tenderly pathetic
stories that we have read for years. Many novel
readers may, perhaps, find fault with it as "too me-
lancholy," but all who have experienced real emotion,
all who have truly loved and truly suffered—and the
terms are to some extent synonymous—will find their
hearts irresistibly moved and their deepest sympathies
enkindled by the sad, sweet story of the gentle,
loving, unbeloved Eleanor Raymond, narrated as it
is in the most natural and fascinating manner imagi-
nable. The effect produced by the revelation at the
close of the first volume is most powerful and mo.t
admirably managed. We must confess that, habi-
tuated to novel-reading as we are, and hence unfortu-
nately apt to guess the denouement of a story, long
before it arrived, we were as completely taken by sur-
prise as Eleanor herself when she read the letter of
her guardian, the unhappy and unstable Stuart of
Dunleath. We are loath to say a word
that may hint at the nature of that revelation, which
would be doing injustice alike to the readers of the
novel and to the very successful authoress of its skil-
fully arranged story. Yet this dramatic effect is only
one of the many excellent characteristics of " Stuart
of Dunleath." Its greatest charm, perhaps, is the
natural and beautiful development of the character
and history of Eleanor—she is the centre of interest
and attraction, throughout accompanied continually
by the sorrowing sympathy of the reader. Stuart
himself is another illustration of that too-often
justified prophecy, " unstable as water, thou shalt not
excel." During a considerable part of the narrative,
seeing him as Eleanor sees him, believing him what
Eleanor believes him, we follow him with interest and
regard, but by the close of the third volume the moral
purpose of the tale has made itself felt, and we re-
cognise the success with which Mrs. Norton has ful-
filled the intention alluded to in the dedication (ad-
dressed to the Queen of the Netherlands). " Hold-
ing as I do," she says, "that that power (the power
of writing as she can write) entails a certain
responsibility, I have not ventured to present to my
countrymen or to offer to your Majesty a mere ro-
mance—the weaving of idle thoughts to amuse idle
hours. I have endeavoured at least to write with a
distinct purpose, to illustrate the working of particular
faults on our own destinies and the destinies of others,
and at the same time to uphold a wider toleration than
we are generally willing to accord to those defects
which do not exist in ourselves." The powerful effect
produced by our faults on our own destinies and on
the destinies of others, is fully demonstrated
in the sad eventful history of Eleanor and
the unstable Stuart, while the beautiful virtue of
toleration is most exquisitely set forth in the example
and teaching of Lady Margaret Fordyce, one of the I
most charming loveable creatures that ever cast sun-
shine
over the pages of a novel, diffusing gladness
around her. No one extract can suffice to do justice
sunshine
to Margaret, and there is something so infec-
tiouss
in the very character of her goodness,
well as abroad, a sweet temper as well as a sweet
voice, beauty of character as well as beauty of face, to
here,that insteadwe recommend
wm.hphti
lnogve
to describe
at cribhehme her a
make acquaintance with Margaret, who combines all
these charms, and having seen her, not only to ad-
mire, but to go and do likewise. " Popular she was
to her heart's content. From her brother Lanark,
who simply thought there had been nothing like her
since Eve was presented to Adam in Paradise, to the
chance acquaintance who had the good luck to sit by her
at dinner the day before, a unanimous vote was always
given in her favour. The sweet cordiality of her
manner had no forwardness is it, and was balanced
by a certain stateliness and dignity, hereditary and
natural, while her perfect temper, active kindliness,
sincere and unostentatious piety, increased to love
the admiration already inspired by her gaiety, ac-
complishment, and beauty:' Although example is
always more effective than exhortation, we must give
a specimen of Lady Margaret's eloquent vindication
of her favourite virtue—

TOLERATION.
" I believe not only every one has faults, but every
one has some great leading and especial fault; and es
long as that fault is neither a very mean, nor a very
atrocious one—as long as I believe they do their best to
balance their imperfect nature by such good as lies in
their power, I am as ready to respect and love them as
if my reason were a mole, and had no eyes to spy out
their imperfections."
" Well, I am not."
" So it seams ; but does it never strike you, that
while you have no patience with one man because he is
stingy, another because ho is extravagant, a third be-
cause ho is presumptuous, that there may be something
in your own nature that makes them equally impatient?
To exchange indulgence with, fault for fault, would be
best, don't you think?"
" I think, that in condemning where I see reason to
condemn, I merely follow the principles of religion, and
the dictates of common sesase.'
" Not of our religion, Mr.Marsden: you aro a great
reader of the Scriptures, but they cannot bear that in-
terpretation. In all the history of our Saviour, there is
not one wrathful sentence—not one speech of condem-
nation. He had sympathy and compassion for all hutnaa
infirmities; for sorrow, for sickness, even for repentant
sin. He went about healing and pardoning. Whether
it was Jairus wailing over his little daughter, or Lazarus'
sisters weeping by a brother's tomb, or the lame beggar
who vainly struggled to the blessed pool for cure; the
gentle Jesus felt for all.: ;,;'ho last bitter moments ha
spent on earth, hanging ivtorture on the cross, were
spent in speaking comfortso the penitent thief. There
is nothing recorded after tflia, but his evilamation in the
death-pang. Ohl if eveets'lesson of indulgence could be
taught to man, surely weight learn it there! Even
to those who deny and ddtbt the divinity of Christ, his
life must seem one great and complete emblem of
universal toleration!" :,:4

Excellent as it is, this extract conveys but a poor
idea of the charminvetyle and fascinating in-
terest of " Stuart of Dunleath." The most beau-
tiful portions are perhaWthose passages of mingled
tenderness and pathos in which the heart-trials of
Eleanor, her love for her children, and their sad fates
are recorded. The descriptions of these infants could
only have been written by one fully cognisant of the
depth and tenderness of a mother's love. The cha-
racter of Eleanor would have been more perfect if, at
the close of the story, ahe had returned to Penrhyn,
and she would then iittve more literally obeyed the
favourite maxim of Ate noble-hearted Margaret—
" Fais cc quc dois;urudvienne que pourra." With
this reservation weliardially commend " Stuart of
Dunleath" to the loits of the beautiful portraiture of
natural emotions, warning them, however, that in its
pages sorrow predominates over joy, and that during
its perusal their sympathy will be evoked more fre-
quently than their,l.ipiles.

THE DREASM AND THE WORKER.
By R. H. How, author of I, Orion." '2 Vols.
Colburn.
The author of " Orion" has here taken up his pen
in a cause well deserving of the ability and earnest-
ness with which he advocates it. While illustrating
the peculiar characteristics and distinctions of
" Dreamer and Worker," Mr. Horne's ultimate ob-
ject is to demonstrate the individual importance of
each. The eye and the hand are no less equally
essential to the artist than are both dreamers and
workers to the commonweal. A general without an
army, and an army without a general, are similarly
incompetent for any practicable good. By the mu-
tual cooperation of the dreamer and the worker,
the airy nothings" of the one obtain
a tangible reality, and the material labours
of the other are reduced to fairer proportions and di..
self-teaching, self-
rected to higher aims. In this endeavour to award
the honour due alike to the toiling brain and the toil-
ing band, Mr. Horne has our cordial sympathy ; but
his task does not end here. In his admirable por-
may be,

because his hand is cunningly instructed. In the ex-
ample of Harding it is shown how moral and mental
culture, instead of raising the workman
" above his station," , and making him " un-
fit for his position,' as the saying goes,
only render him more aware of the true dignity
of labour, and more zealous in the performance of its
duties. So, while advocating with energy the value
of the plain practical common sense and laborious
handiwork of Harding, our authori anxiously desires,
as he happily expresses it, "to put beauty into his
soul." To this end he encourages him in his leisure
hours not to seek practical knowledge only,
but even to read poetry. It may; be objected
that all working men are not so well adapted as Hard-
ing to receive such instruction, but the principle
laid down in his case will bear a wide application.
While Harding is a " worker" end something more,
Archer is purely and solely an inhabitant of Dream-
land ; and here we think Mr. Horne has not suffi-
ciently pointed out the cia media that should to a
certain extent assimilate those opposite characters.
While the " worker" as a man is entitled to the intel-
ligent pleasures of humanity, so the " dreamer," on the
other band, and by the same law, must to some ex-
tent beCome a partaker in the labours enjoined upon
humanity. It is as incumbent upon him to give the
world the benefit of his dreams as it is to the work-
man to give the labour of his hands. Some advice of
this kind is very forcibly addressed to Archer
by a brother dreamer, in which he, desponding
because disappointed, is enjoined not to relapse into
idleness because immediate success is denied to his

labours. The remarks on this subject are well
worthy of consideration, but their application is not
sufficiently carried out in the character of Archer.
Although we heartily respond to the sentiment with
which Mr. Horne sets forth, and are fully prepared
to admit the worth and social utility of both dreamers
and workers, we can hardly think his examples so
good as his sentiment ; for dreamy, do-nothing
Archers, such as he has depicted, are little likely
to do the state much service, and the
social value of a dozen such would be insignificant
by th 6 side of one resolute, energetic, persevering
Harding. Yet, if in this solitary instance the moral
of the work is not enforced quite so effectively as it
might be, the very story of Archer and Hard-
ing carries its own lesson, and dreamers and workers
will both consult with profit the conclusive reasoning
and encouraging advice so abundantly to be met
with in these pages. The idea of the " unseen city"
of poverty and sorrow, bid by the palaces, and parks,
and stately mansions of a great town, is beautifully
and feelingly set forth and carried out by the hearty
s 3 mpathy of the Working Harding, and the poetic
fancy of the Dreaming Archer, for which see the
second volume of "The Dreamer and Worker." We
have said nothing of the story itself, but it, too, has its
moral, and very happily exhibits the folly of any life-
long companionship being entered into by persons of
incompatible tastes and feelings. The good and sen-
sible Mary, the first betrothed of Archer, will divide
with the more fascinating Ellen the sympathy and
admiration of the reader.

MA Y 17, 1851.

THE GOLD-DUST ROBBERY.
William Pamplin, the person who has been appre-
hended at Winchester on the charge of being concerned
vi eels, was
gold-dust robbery, and who was remanded last
was again brought up, yesterday, before the
Mayor and magistrates of Winchester.
Mr. Crombie, the solicitor, attended to prosecute on
behalf of the South-Western Railway Company, and a
London solicitor attended on behalf of the prisoner.
The first witness called was a porter at the Win-
chester Railway station, who deposed that the prisoner
came to the station at about a quarter-past 11 last
Thursday night, some time after the luggage train, from
which the gold-dust was stolen, had passed, and asked
what time the next train started. He had a package
under each arm, and appeared by his staggering walk
to be in liquor. Re (the witness) went, shortly after-
wards to the Eagle public house, near the station, for a
glass of beer. While he was there be saw the prisoner
go into the tap-room, and he followed, to make sure it
was the same man he had seen at the station, since the
prisoner did not appear to be so drunk in tho tap-room
as when seen previously with the pack ages under his arm
Another porter belonging to the Winchester station
deposed that he was standing at the door of the station
at a quarter to twelve on ike night of the robbery, when
the prisoner came up and asked if be might stop in the
station until the train left. He was carrying a bag and
parcel. On being told that he could not be went away.
The witness saw the prisoner appear again at the station
just before the train started, take a ticket for the Water-
loo station, and go from the booking-office into the last
carriage with his bag and parcel.
The Governor of Winchester Gaol deposed that on
searching the prisoner when he was apprehended, a
pitce of black cloth was found in his pocket, in which
some heavy box, measuring; 13 feet by 8, plainly ap-
peared to have been conveyed. The cloth bore marks of
having been in contact with sealing-wax and chalk. Une
of the boxes of gold dust missing was about the size of
the above measurement, and on it was sealing-wax, and
if thrown from the train near Winchester, it would have
pitched on a chalky soil.

Inspector Field deposed that he had made inquiries
near the prisoner's residence, and found that the latter
was in the habit of keeping late hours; that his wife
denied, when first asked, that she had quarrelled with
him (the prisoner's excuse for being away from home
was that ho quarrelled with his wife). She, how-
ever, afterwards stated that she had. The witness had
ascertained that a cabman had conveyed a man with
two packages who had arrived at Waterloo-station last
Friday morning by the next mail that left Winchester
after the goods train from which the gold-dust was
stolen to the Shoreditch-station; that the person who
had hired the cab got out of it close to the station, dis-
missed the cabman, and entered a coffee-house opposite
the station, and that a man of a similar description hired
a cab from thence, and was conveyed to another part
of London, which he was not at liberty to name, as it
would defeat the ends of justice.
The prisoner's solicitor submitted to the magistrates
although the evidence against the prisoner was perhaps
sufficiently strong to justify a remand, he ought to be
admitted to bail.

In opposition to this the solicitor for the prosecution
pointed out to the magistrates that the prisoner stated
when apprehended that he had left London in search
of work; yet, almost immediately after he had arrived
at Winchester, he was seen at a distance from the town,
and in the neighbourhood of the spot where the box of
gold was found; and that it had been given in evidence
on a former examination, that, in talking to a woman at
the public•house near the spot before alluded to on Fri-
day afternoon last, he stated that he had missed the 3
P.M. up-train on that day; and yet he had asserted to the
police-officer that he had left London by the 1 P.M.
train on that day; and, consequently, that he had not
arrived at Winchester when the 3 A.M. train left.

When the evidence had concluded the mayor and ma-
gistrates remanded the prisoner until next Friday, and
refused bail.
