ARLBRO'-ST REE T-CT HIS DAY

A SMASHER.—John Sutifi w. 1.4; placed at the btir be-
fore Mr. Bingham, charged wilh uttering a counterfeit
shilling.
Mr. Date Hies, landlord of the Crown Tavern, Park-
street, Grosvenor-square, stated that yesterday after-
noon, about four o'clock, the prisoner came into his bar
and called for a glass of porter, and threw down a penny
on the bar in payment. A few minutes after he called
for another glass of porter, in payment for which he
tendered the shilling produced. Witness not liking the
appearance of the coin tried it in the detector, when it
instantly broke in halves. Witness gave it to the pri-
soner again, when he (the prisoner) said be was not
aware the shilling was a bad one, as he had just re-
ceived it from a friend; ho then gave complainant a good
shilling, and having received the change left the house.
Directly he had left a constable came in and asked him
if the prisoner had tried to pass a counterfeit shilling,
and having received a reply in the affirmative, he went
in pursuit and took him into custody.
Day, 76 C, said he was on duty in Park-street yester-
day afternoon, when he saw the prisoner, whom he knew
to be a regular " smasher," go into the Crown public-
house. When he cams out, witness went in and asked
the landlord what the prisoner wanted, and on being told
that he had uttered a counterfeit shilling, he ran after
him and took him in charge. On searching him at the
station, several good shillings, sixpences, and fourpenny
pieces were found upon him.
The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded,
for the attendance of Mr. Powell, the Flint solicitor.

ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS IN .ALISTItALIA.—There
was yesterday printed a Parliamentary document containing
the copy of a letter from the Lord Bishop of Sydney to Sir
C. Fitzroy, the Governor, in relation to the rank or prece-
dence of bishops appointed by the Pope within her Majes-
ty's Australian dominions. Sir Robert Inglis obtained the
document. On the 22d of May last the Bishop of Sydney
addressed the Governor, and concluded in the following man-
ner. " The right and full power of her Majesty to bestow
rank and precedence upon any of her subjects, and therefore
upon Romish ecclesiastics, regarded as individuals, and not
as a class or order of men, cannot be doubted or questioned,
if this prerogative be exercised by the customary forms of,
grants for such purposes; but the question I am compelled
to raise is, whether directions issued not expressly in the
name of her Majesty are in force to invest the Pope with
the sovereign prerogative of conferring, even virtually, rank
and precedence at his own will upon his nominees and in
virtue only of his nomination, within this realm." At the
end of July the Governor enclosed the letter to Earl Grey,
which was received on the 4th of January. No answer had
been returned to the letter or dispatch, and both arrived in
this country when the agitation against Papal aggression
was rife.

At a meeting of the shareholders of the General
Screw Steam Shipping Company held yesterdday, the follow-
ing gentlemen were elected directors :—John Margetson,
Esq., Cheapside ; James Laming, Esq., Maida Hill; Richard
Smith, Esq., Manchester; Richard M. Fox' ' Esq. IMP.,IMP.,Duke-street, St. James's; Peter Bell, Esq., firm of Messrs.
Scott, Bell, and Co., Alderman's-walk; 'William Scott
Binny, Esq., late of Madras, Bryanston-square ; Ileniy
Currie, Esq., banker, Cornhill ; John Urlay Ellis,
Esq., late of Madras, Fiuchley-road ; Captain Robert
Fitzroy, R.N., Norlanl-square ; Charles J. Major, Esq.,
Billiter-street ; J. R. Thompson, Esq., St. Peter's-alley,
Cornhill ; John Lambert, Esq., 13, Austin-friars. Mr. Cur-
rie was subsequently appoiated chairman of the board, and
Mr. Laming managing director.
APPREHENSION OF A GANG OF BURGLARS.—For
many weeks past the county of Anglesea has been infested
by a gang of thieves, who have committed many robberies
by breaking into the shops. It is supposed that the whole
gang, amounting to seven in number, have at length been
secured through the exertions of the police, who apprehended
them with some of the stolen property in their possession.
They have been fully committed for trial. One of the pri-
soners has been passing through the country, calling himself
a Hungarian refugee, and another prisoner is a desperate
character, who has been charged with stabbing a man at the
Menai-bridge, who died from the injuries received. Several
highway robberies, attended with personal violence, have
taken place in and near Bangor.

FORGERY AND EMBEZZLEMENT. -- A telegraphic

from the police authorities in Birm,
am, to h
young man suspected of forging his employer's name, and
obtaining by the fraudulent signature the sum of 801. from
one of the banks there. The young man had fled from Bir-
mingham about a week before, and was supposed to be in the
neighbo-irhcood of this city. Within an hour the fugitive
was apprehended by. A_P Levy, who dexterously traced him
out ; and the same nightintimation cf the capture was tele-
graphed to Birmingham, from whence an officer was imme-
diately dispatched for the prisoner, with whom he returned
on Saturday morning.—Edinburgh Courant.
KING'S COLLEGE LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC
usioN.—The annual conversazione of this association of the
students took place yesterday evening. The spacious rooms,
forming the library of the college, were thrown open to their
use, and were quite crowded. The principal (Dr. Jeff) and
the professors were present, and appeared to take a lively in-
terest in the proceedings. Previously to the conversazione
there was a lecture delivered by Mr. ITN:night, one of the
students, upon the literary character of the age, in which he
spoke principally of Macaulay, Carlyle, and Dickens, de-
claring that each of them spoke part of the truth, but that
neither of them spoke the whole truth, and that the rising
generation must look for some better guide. The lecture
was listened to with attention, and at its close elicited ap-
plause. The auditory, however, did not seem reluctant to he
released, and introduced into the library, where a variety of
mechanical inventions, pieces of sculpture, beautiful en-
gravings and prints, and other objects of interest. afforded
them au hour or two of great intellectual entertainment. It
appears that the members of the "union" meet weekly
(when papers are read, &c.`, but this is their annual reunion.
Altogether it appears a valuable and laudable means of
mutual improvement and entertaiment ; and it was impos-
sible not to observe the cordial cheerfulness with winch !he
students entered into and enjoyed it, and the good fk,eling
and good fellowship which it eyident:y footers among the
scholars of all the dificreat departments in the college, all
of whom are combined, and co •eperate in this literary
" reunion."

TH GREAT 7:III1B1TION.
On Tuesday a very ingenious mode of testing the
strength. of the galleries in the Chrystal Palace was put
in practice, and the result, as far as it
highly satisfactory. Some weeks ago experiments were
made with the same object, in the presence of her ga-
jeety and Prince Albert; but, notwithstanding the fa-
went, proved
vourable results then obtained, it was considered very
desirable to subject the galleries to some trial
which
might afford a guarantee of their sufficiency to bear such
crowds of visitors as are expected for months to throng
every part of the exhibition. The difficulty, however,
was to devise an adequate test, such as would inspire the
public with confidence in the safety of so light and airy
a structure. Mr. Field, of the firm of Maudslay and
Field, the eminent engineers, has the merit of
having
suggested a very happy method of setting this
1 vexata questio at rest. He recommended that a
nuer
the
her of ;strong square frames should be made,
ld
in
interstices of which 68-pound shot shou be
placed, and that these, joir.ed together, and forming anY
the o
weight which might be considered sufficient for b-
jsct in view, should be dragged along the galleries. Ac-
cordingly, seven frames were made,
each capable of
hnldit:g 36 cannon balls, of the site just mentioned.ll
this way a pressure of 71 tons was readily obtained, and
as it was ascertained by Mr. Brunel that the greatest
weight which could be obtained by packing men as closely
as possible on any given space was 951 b. to the sqfoot,
uare
foot, such a test, representing 1001 b. to the square
was considered amply sufficient to establish the strength
and security of the galleries. The pressure of an t
ordi-.
nary crowd, such as that in the pit of a theatre or ti
a meeting, does not exceed from 501 b. to 601 b. to,
the square foot, and it must he remembel
that, as a great part of the gallery spec 111
be occupied by light articles displayed on
stallsc,
the number of spectators that can circulate there at
one time must be limited. Moreover, the rouges
' made to run at the sides close to the pillars, where the
strain is least likely to be dangerous. Bearing all these
things in mind, the experiment made on Tuesday wise
252 68-pounders must be considered conclusive. As ,i;
their wooden frames they were rolled along bY,,,s"e
ueited strength of a large party of Sappers, the Pwarr,
and girders betrayed no sign of weakness, and the ll°
_e
ing of the gallery did not vibrato nearly so much as the
a drawing-room during a ball. The Executive Cougnitl.
and the principal members of their staff watched the exPer.o
ment with great interest. Mr. Cubitt, the engineer I
chief of the building, was also present; and Lord C4.1...511;
vine and Mr. Cobden represented the Royal CO 0
on the occasion. It is Mr. Cubitt's intention to test all
the galleries in this manner. The experiments wed
made in the centre of the gallery,wbere the strain iv u
be most severely felt.
