CREST. .AL PALACE.

Another phase in the capabilities of this magnificent
building was developed on Saturday by the inauguratio❑
of the first poultry exhibition—the most perfect, we be-
lieve, ever yet seen in England. The show consisted of
1,055 pens of bhols, including fowl, ducks, geese, turkeys,
an guinea fowl, ranged under 59 classes. There were
7 classes of pigeons and nine of rabbits. The show of
game birds was unusually good. The first prize-bird in
the class of game cooks was awarded to Mr. Sewell, of
Bridgwater, Somerset, and its price marked at 101. 103.
The second prize was awarded to a remarkably fine
bird, the property of Mr. W. M. de Rothschild, of
Gutmersbury Park. Next to the game birds the Dor-
kings deserve notice. They were divided iota the white
and coloured varieties, and some magnificent birds were
shown in each of the classes. The principal exhibitors
of the Dorking were Lady Eleanor Cathcart, Lady
Dacre, Lady Margaret Macdonald, Lord R. Grosvenor,
Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Captain Squire, and the Rev. John
Farmer. The coloured Dorkings formed a very excellent
class, and a cock and two pullets, eight months old, be-
longing tp Mr. Wakefield. of the Malvern Hills, were
most remarkable specimens of early maturity. The
Cochin Chinas, classed according to colour, were toler-
ably good and sufficientlynumerous, there being 127 pens,
A cock and two pullets, exhibited by the Rev. G. F.
Hodson, of North Petherton, hatched last April, were
Priced at 501. Mr. Rothschild appeared desirous of hav-
ing the honour of asking the highest price for his bird,
having marked two pens of cinnamon and buff Cochin at
5001. the pen. This fancy price was, however, topped
by Mr. John Wood, of Dorking, who marked his pen of
three white Dorkings at 1,000/. ; and two pens of game
birds, shown by the Rev. Thomas Lyon Fellowes, were
also ticketed at 1,0001. the pen ; one of gold and one of
silver pencilled Homburgs, oae of golden spangled, one
of silver spangled Hamburge, one of silver spangled pul-
lets, and one of Hamburg cocks, were also priced at
1,0001. each ; so that the value set upon this score of
birds was sot less than 8,0001.

The Spanish fowls were unusually good, espe-
cially the young birds, and the pen shown by
Miss Rake, of Brandon-hill, Bristol, to which the
first prize was awarded, consisted of three fault-
less fowls, remarkable for their high condition,
beauty of plumage and purity of breed. The first prize
for a Spanish cock was given to Master Rake, and it
has the honour, it would appear, of being the sire of the
youthful trio in the previous class. The different classes
of Hamburga are well represented, there being 149
specimens, many of them of rare beauty ; one pen of
young silver pencilled, belonging to Mrs. Henry Sharp,
of Mill-lane, Bradford, the winner of the first prize,
was exceedingly pretty. There were 108 pens of the
different varieties of Polish fowl, which attracted a very
large share of the attention of the visitors, on account of
their magnificent tufts, some of which were of unusual
size.

The show of geese, though not numerous, was very
good, and the finer specimens exhibited that rotundity
of form and general symmetry which it is so desirable to
witness. The ducks, especially the Aylesburys, were
good, and there were some magnificent turkeys—among
others, a cock and two hens, shown by the Rev. Thomas
Fellowes, of Beighton Rec'ory, deserved the prize
awarded to them.

The pigeons formed a very interesting feature of the
show, and included pouters, carriers, dragons, almond
tumblers, short-faced mottoleq, short-faced baldheads,
abort-faced beards, short-faced tumblers, jacobines, owls,
nuns, turbits, fantails, barbs, magpies, trumpeters, large
Spanish runts, large Leghorn runts, porcelains, and
other varieties known to fanciers. There was a novel
feature in the show in the presence of rabbits, many of
which were of the highest order, and attracted the
greatest attention. Mr. Houghton had the superintend-
ence of the show, which was most admirably conducted,
and we believe there is no judge who will disagree with
regard to the decisions of the judges, who warded the
prizes as follow :

_ _

Second-class Staff Surgeon J. Ewing has been relieved
from medical duty at Chatham, for the purpose of
proceeding to Dublin to join the 95th Regiment. Staff
Assistant-Surgeon C. E. Le Febvre has likewise received
directions to leave Chatham and proceed to Newcastle,
where he will perform medical duty with the depot of
the 85th Light Infantry.
The screw steamship Cornwallis, 60, Capt. R. A.
Powell, and the frigate Mander, 44, Capt. the Hon. J.
R. Drummond, are appointed to leave Hamoaae tc-day
for Plymouth Sound. The crew of the frigate Eagle, 50,
Capt, H. A. Story, at Devonport, got up lower yards
and topmasts on Saturday. These ships are all in the
Coastguard service.
Retired Rear-Admiral Robert Henley Rogers died at
Plymouth on Thursday. This officer entered the navy in
the spring of 1796 as first-class volunteer on board the
Concorde, 36, Capt. Anthony Hunt, whom he followed,
in August of the same year. into La Virginie, 38.
After cruising on the Irish and Baltic stations he sailed
for the East Indies, where from September, 1798, until
his return to England in April, 1803, he served on
board the Suffolk and Victorious, 74's, flagships of
Vice-Admiral Peter Rainier, and the Orpheus, 32,
comma.,,de i by the late Hon. Chas. Elphinstone Fleem-
ing. Of the latter ship he was confirmed a lieutenant,
after having acted for more than 13 months in that
capacity, Feb. 4, 1803. His succeeding appointments
were—May 14, 1803, to the Impetueux, 74, Capt. I'. B.
Martin, attached to the Channel fleet; Feb. 21, 1805, to
the Drake, 16, Capt. Drury, with whom he proceeded to
the West Indies; May 23 and Dec. 2 following, to the
Penguin, sloop, Capt. G. Morris, and Hercule, 74, flag-
ship of Rear-Admiral J. R. Dacres, on the same station;
June 18, 1806, to the Veteran, 64, as signal-lieutenant
to Rear-Admiral Dacres ; Sept. 14, 1807, to the acting
command of the Hunter, sloop; March 4, 1808, as before
to the Veteran; and June 17, 1809, as senior (after 10
months of halt-pay) to the Rhin, 38, Capt. C. Malcolm.
For his active services in the last-mentioned ship in the
Channel and on the north coast of Spain he was pro-
moted on the Ist February, 1812, to the rank of com-
mander. His last appointment was to the Dover troop
ship, the command of which he retained from the 30th
July, 1814, until the 6th August, 1816. During that
period, besides visiting the West Indies and the Baltic,
he accompanied the expedition against New Orleans,
where he served on shore in the breaching batteries and
in command of a body of seamen, and was particularly
noticed for his exertions by Sic E. T. Troubridge. He
attained the rank of captain on the 2d of September,
1816, and accepted the retirement on the first of Octo-
ber, 1846. On the 11th of June, 1851, he was placed on
the list of retired rear-admirals.

Several extensive improvements and alterations are
being carried out ix Chatham Dockyard, which, when
completed, will make that establishment the most com-
modious Government dockyard in the kingdom. One of
the principal improvements now in progress is at No. 7
granite slip, which is to be lengthened 60 feet, giving a
length of 330 feet. In order to give a solid foundation
to sustain the immense weights which will be laid on
this slip, an immense number of piles have been driven,
on which is laid a bed of concrete 15 feet in depth to
receive the granite floor. The width of this slip will
be 80 feet. The roof is of galvanised iron supported
on iron columns. No. 2 dock is also in course
of being lengthened to 360 feet, and will be the
largest dock of any belonging to the naval establish-
ments. Considerable difficulties have been experienced
during the progress of this work by the constant break-
ing in of the water, to remedy which two powerful pumps
have been erected, which discharge four tons of water
per minute day and night. A new workshop for the
convicts has been erected at the eastern end of the dock-
yard, 240 feet in length and 30 feet in width, contiguous
to which is a double range of buildings for cement milk,
the machinery for which will be erected this week. The
whole of the above works are being carried out by
Messrs. J. and C. Rigby, of Westminster. A new police
station is also being built by Messrs. Foord and Sons,
who have just completed a Suppling kiln, in which the
timber used in the dockyard will be steeped. The station
formerly used by the dockyard force has been removed
to make room for the improvements in progress.
A new 36-gun frigate, to be called the Mersey, has
been commenced at Chatham D..ckyard. She is laid down
in the new slip from which the Etna floating battery was
launched some time since. The Mersey will be one of
the longest frigates in the service, it being intended to
construct her upwards of 300 feet in length.
The Racoon, -21, one of the new description of screw
corvettes now being built at Chatham, is progressing
very fast, and is expected to be ready for launchinge in
the ensuing spring. This vessel and her sister ship, the
Charybdis, 21, will be fitted with machinery of 400-
horse power.
Her Majesty's steam vessel Antelope arrived at Ports-
mouth yesterday from Woolwich.
Her Majesty's steam troop ship Simoom, 18, Com-
mander Cooke, had her compasses adjusted in Ports-
mouth harbour on Saturday.
Her Majesty's paddle frigate Furious, 12, was taken
out of dock at Portsmouth after repairs on Saturday,
and into the steam basin, to complete her refit.
The Trident, 6, Commander Ciose, and the Meteor,
steam-battery, were removed from the fitting basin at
Portsmouth on Saturday.
The Bulldog, 6 guns, paddle wheel steam ship, Com-
mander A. C. Gordon, arrived at Sheerness yesterday,
at 11 a.m., from the North Sea, last from Hull. The Bull-
dog was sent from Sheerness in company with the Sara-
mander, 6 guns, paddlewheel steamsloop, Commander
G. T. Mecham, in search of the missing ships from Arch-
angel, bound for Dundee. It has been ascertained that
seven out of the eight missing ships have found shelter in
the different ports on the coast of Lapland, and it is
feared that ore ship has been lost on the Lapland coast.
Her Majesty's iron paddlewheel steamvessel Oberon,
ately emi 1 ,yed in the packet service between Malta and
the lonian Islands, was on Saturday paid off at Wool-
wich.

The freightship Osprey, having shipped 60 quarter
barrels of bail cartridge, and 28 half-barrels of blank
cartridge, from Wookich Arsenal, sailed on Saturday
afternoon for Corfu.
The Sir George F. Seymour freightship, Capt. Abell
went down to Woolwich on Saturday from St. Ka
tharine's Docks, laden with a cargo of Ordnance stores,
and, after embarking 41 tons of ammunition, she sailed
for Bermuda.
The freightship Neptune arrived at Woolwich-pier on
Saturday from the docks for the purpose of embarking a
cargo of ordnance stores for Gibraltar. The Clara
Louisa having completed her cargo of Ordnance stores
for Woolwich Pier, has hauled off to the buoy to fill in
her maazine with ammunition for Malta.
The following appointments have been made at the

LAW INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 10.

VICE-CHANCELLOR KTNDERSLEY'S
CHAMBERS—JAN. 10.
IN THE MATTER OF THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.
A meeting was held in this matter for the purpose of
making a call.
Upon reading the affidavit of the official manager it
appeared that the debts of the company were 554,0001.,
and that the assets were computed to realise 280,0001.,
with a doubtfulitem of 40,000/.,in respect of the Cefalron
Works in South Wales, but it was expected that advan-
tage would be taken of the bankruptcy to cause a for-
feiture of the lease of these works, and therefore no value
could be pat upon this item. The official manager pro-
posed to make a call of 751. per share upon the share-
holders already settled upon the list, and representing
1,507 shares, which it was estimated would produce
about 100,0001.
Mr. Reed attended for several shareholders, and
objected to the call being made for so large an amount
as 751. per share, as he understood that the assignees
were insisting upon the payment by the shareholders of
a ca'l of 501. per share alleged to have been made by
the directors three days before the bank was dissolved.
Mr. Burton then read the report of Mr. Harding, the
official manager, presented to the Court of Chancery, on
the general position and prospects of the undertaking,
and which formed the bale of the present proceeding for
making the proposed call, of which the following is an
abstract s—Mr. Harding states that the total amount
due by the bank is 554,580/. Appended to the affidavit
is the list of contributories, holding, in the aggregate,
1,507 shares ; and another list of persons holding 1,493
shares, the latter being those who dispute their liability
as shareholders. A paper is also annexed, showing that
the assets and credit of the bank were estimated, on the
20th of September last, at 299,9271., exclusive of the
lease of the Welsh mineral property, estimated at 40,0001.
With respect to what Mr. Harding says :—" But in
consequence of the said bank having since been adjudi
cated bankrupt, as hereinafter mentioned, I am informed
and advised that the lease of the said Cefn Coal and Iron
Works has become forfeited ; and, under such circum-
stances, I believe that no such sum as 40,0001., or
thereabouts, can or will be realised by the assignees
under the said bankruptcy. That, so far as I have been
able to ascertain, and to the best of my knowledge, in-
formation, and belief, the assets of the said bank are not
sufficient to meet the liabilities thereof, and if the said
assets are realised under the most favourable circum-
stances, there will still be a deficiency of at least
220,0001., or thereabouts, and that such sum must be pro-
vided by calls upon the shareholders in the said bank ;
and, in order to provide the funds required to fully pay
and satisfy the creditors of the said bank, and equalise
the payments or contributions of the several share-
holders, I believe it necessary that a call should be made
upon the contributories who are settled on the list with-
out delay." The affidavit then goes to state that, in
consequence of legal proceedings having been taken by
some of the creditors against the shareholders, many
of them were disposing of their property, or were
about to leave the country ; that others of them
were willing to pay the amounts due on their shares ;
and he believes it would be most beneficial to the
shareholders generally if a sum of 100,0001. were
immediately raised by a call, but the sum he does not
think could be raised by any less call upon the contri
butories tban one of 751. per share upon the holders of
the 1,507 shares, and another call of a similar amount to
be made upon the holders of the 1,493 shares who dis-
pute their liability.
The Chief Clerk, adverting to that part of the state-
ment above given as to the forfeiture of the lease of the
property in Wales, observed that the forfeiture would, in
all probability, be one of the unfortunate results of the
proceedings that had been taken in Bankruptcy, simul-
taneously with those in Chancery. It was to be feared
that the lessors would take advantage of the act of
bankruptcy, an advantage that they could not have taken
had the bank been only wound up in Chancery, and if
so, a lsss would accrue to the estate in the shape of
assets to be divided among the creditors of 40,0001. or
60,000/.
Mr. Burton said that a further complication had oc-
curred in the course of the last day or two. Mr. Hard-
ing, the official manager of the Court of Chancery, had
been served with a writ at the suit of Mr. Maxwell, one
of the assignees of the Court of Bankruptcy, and the
petitioning creditor of 1,9931., as a creditor of the bank ' •
and he had also, it was understood, bees served with
similar writs by Mr. Richardson and Mr. Ritchie, two of
the other assignees, through Messrs. Linklater, the
solicitors in Bankruptcy.
The Chief Clerk—Against whom ?
Mr. Burton—Against the official manager of the
Court of Chancery. The call of 501. made by the Court
of Bankruptcy on shareholders, in addition to the call
of 751. in Chancery, would not affect the latter; but the
former, if found to hold good, and if it were enforced,
would go in aid of the liquidation of the debts to the
extent of 75,0001., and, if added to the call of 751., and
all were paid, which was questionable, would produce
sufficient to pay 20s. in the pound—a consummation, he
need not say, most devoutly to be wished for. (A laugh.)
If the amount represented by the proposed calls could
possibly be realised, it would have the effect of staying
the most harassing actions, and enable the estate to be
wound up with what it was almost amusing to contem-
plate— surplus for division among the shareholders.
Mr. Reed (of the firm of Reed, Langford, and Mars-
den), on behalf of the directors of the bank, said he was
afraid that between the proposed calls nothing would be
gut from either. One of his clients, Mr. Alderman Ken-
nedy, was the only person as yet who had paid the 501.
call made by the Court of Bankruptcy, amountieg on his
shares to 1,0001., and he (Mr. Reed) also held the alder-
man's receipts from creditors in respect of a great many
debts he had paid, so that if these were allewed to go as
a set-off against the call, his client would have nothing
more to contribute.
Mr. Chilton said that, on proper evidence being given
to the official manager, it was in his discretion to allow
such payments as against the amount of call.
Mr. Reed—This was all very well as regarded the
more moneyed shareholders. There were those who
e Auld pay the 501. or 751. alone, but who could not pos
aibly pay the two calls, or 1251. For instance, there was
one shareholder holding shares, and who looked to them
almost entirely for his income, and whose friends might
as,iit him in contributing to pay the 501. call. He would
therefore suggest that a call of similar amount should be
made by the official manager, and that he should so
make it as that it might be payable by instalments, for
he did not believe that a quarter of the persons settled
on the list could pay the calls now made. Is was inexpe-
dient, he thought, to raise the question as to the validity
of the call, which must be made and paid in some shape,
as it was so desirable to get rid of the fearful litigation
that was now going on, and likely to continue, by reason
of the claims of rsditors. The creditors trusted the bank
on the faith of the names of the shareholders, and he
could not understand what honesty there was in the •
shareholders endeavouring to shirk their liability. All
the shareholders, he thought, ought to pay up, and his
clients were ready, according to the extent of their means,
to do so, and he was afraid that many of the poorer share-
holders would have to get away under the pressure. In
justice t) the assignees in bankruptcy he must state
that they had refrained from doing this, and he knew that
Messrs. Linklater had had instructions to issue writs to
the amount of 20,0001., if they saw that the interests of
their clients were likely to be damaged by the issuing of
writs ; and be did not wonder, after the decision of the
Lords Justices, at creditors putting themselves ill a po-
sition to take proceedings.
Mr. Burton said that it the calls were paid the ruinous
expenses of actions would be stopped.
A Shareholder—There may be shareholders who can
pay one, but not both calls, and if you put the extra
pressure on them they may be ruined.
Mr. Burton— There were many who would sacrifice
their fortunes to stay harassing executions, and a large
body of shareholders, who had tied the country, had ex-
pressed their willingness to do everything to stay execu-
tion.

Mr. Harding had been told by some shareholders that
,hey would consent to a call of 2001. or more, if !Riga-
don and execution could be stayed ; and payment or
,he call would have that effect, as it would be the imme-
diate means of satisfying creditors.
Mr. Randall hoped it would be clearly understood
that whatever course was determined on all those who
paid the 50/. call in Bankruptcy won d have credit given
them to that am unt.
A Shareholder also hoped that those shareholders who
were also depositors would have the amount of their de-
posits allowed them against the call. (Yes, yes.)
Mr. Harding, referring to the Joint Stock Companies'
Winding-up Amendment Acts, said that by the 29th
section, in the event of a call being made, it was in the
power of the official manager to give time to the share-
holders for its payment.
Mr. De Metz—Actions were increasing daily. (A
voice—" Going on like snowballs.")
The Chief Clerk was of opinion that the more assets
the official manager got into his hands the better would
he be able to deal with the parties. He did not know
what mind exactly the creditors must be in after what
had happened, but it ought to be known after the fear-
ful litigation and expense that hal taken place in both
courts, that 555,0001. of debts had been proved in Chan-
cery without a single farthing expense, while the very
contrary had occurred in l'ankruptcy, where they would
not receive proof of debts made in Chancery, but put the
parties to all the trouble and expense of proving them
over again before they could be entitled to the dividend.
He (the Chief Clerk) could not arrange the payment of
the call,
not measure the means or fortunes of the unfortunate
but could only declare it generally. He could
Feeareholderta
Mr. 13urton—No; but the official manager could under
the 29th section of the act,
Mr. Randall—My client is a schoolmaster in a country
town, and he is Willing
to pay as far as he can, but not
to such an enormous extent.
Mr. Reed said he believed the question of the validity
of the SO/, call in Bankruptcy would come on this term
before the law courts, ou the appeal of General Aitchi-
son. Another shareholder, he might mention, had paid
the call on upwards of 20 shares made by the Court of
Bankruptcy, and 8001. to creditors, and had at the pre-
sent moment executions to, the extent of 3,0001. or
4,0001. in his house, and yet he was desirous of doing
all in his power to meet calls to stave off executions.
He (Mr. Reed) would suggest that the call of 751. be
reduced to 251.
Mr. Harding—That would only realise 30,0001.
Mr. Vanderpunt (for Messrs. LinklaterandUckwood,
solicitors in bankruptcy) said that a considerable sum
was being collected under the call in bankruptcy.
A Shareholder—How many actions are being brought?
Mr. Vhnderpunt did not know how many.
Mr. Argles—On e.
Mr. Vanderpun-a—That was to raise ate question, but
we have the opinif in-of couribel confirmingethe goodness
of the call.
The Chief CI It' said, on a review of all the facto, one

THE GREAT EASTERN MONSTER SHIP.—Mr. S. Beale,
deputy chairman of the Midland Railway Company, and
whose name has long been honourably connected with
the industrial and mercantile pursuits of this country, is
now supplying Messrs. Scott Russell and C,., the build-
ers of the monster ship, with immense iron plates to be
nsel in her conetruction. We had an opportunity of
seeing a number of the plates at the Midland Railway
station, Derby, on Wednesday last, on their way from
Mr. Beale's Park., ate works at Masborough, to Black-
wail. The plates have been expressly rolled for the
bows of the great ship at Millwall, and vary in size from
2 tons to 24 tons, the largest plate being 27 feet long by
4 feet 3 inches wide, and 14 inch thick. The rough plates
from which these beautifully finished plates were cut out
were of course much larger. The plates, which have
been planed, are quite free from blisters and blemishes,
the edges are perfect, and altogether they are an admir-
able specimen of what can he effected in these days of
progress. The difficulty in the manufacture of plates of
these dimensions is in having to deal with such a large
o;ass of iron in a weefingeheat, and to pass it under the
rolls the requistze number of times. As far as we know
these plates, in combined size and weight have never
been approached. One fact will show at once the trade.
estimate of toe difficulty of making heavy plates. At ths
quarterly meeting of ironmasters, when the price of iron
is fixed, the price paid for plates varying from 3 to
3i OWL is at -the rate of 11. per ton for every single cwt.
above tha's amount. In general practice plates weighing
from 12 to 15 cwt. each have been considered very
heavy, and have seldom been exceeded. The difficulty
of rolling these immense masses of iron was enormous.
The process 'is this :—Between 3 and 44 tons of iron are
bound together and placed in a furnace expressly con
stiucted for the purpose, and, after the iron has been
heated to a white heat, it is withdrawn and carried to
the rolls, and by admirable rnsehanicalarrangement rolled
into Plates. The heat given off during this process from
such an immense surface and mass of iron is so great
as to prevent the workmen approaching within one or
two yards e f the plates without their clothes being set
on fire or tne skin burnt eff their hands and faces. Is
the ordinary process of rolling iron a plate weighing
9hat had ever been re cwt. is el ;rendered a
livery large one. The largest plate
ted previous to those to which iv-
allurle Wag one exhibited at the Paris Exhibition, weigh-
ing 1 ton 6 cwt., and which elicited so many remarks.
One of tb e plates was 5 feet wide and 17 feet 10 incise,
Datring the recent war Mr. Late undertook to
roll plates for the Government floating batteries, which
operation he duly performed to their complete satisfac-
tion ; and a number of the sides of thec-e modern engines
of war were constructed at his celebrated works. It
is
probable that the information and experience gained by
the coastruction of these plates enabled' him t;, accom-
plish a still greater triumph in the manufacture of iron.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1857

thing appeared to be clear, viz, the necessity for a call,
whatever that call might be in amount. He had gone
through the figures carefully with the official manager,
and agreed with him that a call of 751 per share was
not too much to meet the exigencies of the case, and a
call to that amount must accordingly be declared.
Call of 751. per share declared accordingly.
A Shareholder in the crowd here said he appeared on
behalf of an only sister, who had no means of paying it.
('sensation.)
The CHIEF CKEEK—I would not mention that matter
now. You must speak to the official manager on a
future opportunity.
The meeting then broke up.

Statement of the Affairs of the Royal British Bank, 3d of
September, 1856, according to J. E. Coleman's esti-
mates. The Schedule C referred to in the foregoing exa-
mination :

committed on the banks of the Regent's Canal, about
two years since.
In his defence the prisoner said that the tale was in-
vented by him for the purpose of amusing his compan-
ions, and that be was quite innocent of any such horri-
ble transaction.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, after a long examination, decided that
there was no foundation for the charge, and dismissed
the prisoner.

LAMBETH.--Mr. Inspector Bent, of the A division
of police, but who is principally engaged on the South-
Western Railway, waited on the sitting magistrate, the
Hon. G. C. Norton, by desire of Mr. Young, and handed
in if. 17s. 6d. for the poor-box. Mr. Bent said that on
Tuesday last a Spanish gentleman, his wife and son,
arrived at the Waterloo road station to proceed by train
to Southampton, and were accompanied by one of those
persons who call themselves interpreters or commission
ere, who hang about the hotels for foreigners, and who
eemed to have charge of their luggage, etc. This per-
son, it was observed, appeared to be in a great hurry
to get rid of his charge, and the moment the lady and
gentleman, with their son, were seated in the railway
carriage, he made off, and his gross impositions would
have passed unnoticed had it not been for the accidental
circumstance that the gentleman before leaving the sta-
tion was informed by one of the company's servants that
a balance was due for luggage, and this led to the exhi-
bition of the commissioner's bill of charges. In this do•
cument was found a charge of 1/. 17s. 6d. for luggage,
from the private hotel in Finsbury-square, ss. for the
cab, and 103. for the "coachman." It was also found
that a charge for attending and taking the party about
London on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, of 4/. 19s ,
was made, and in fact that this man's charge was much
greater than that made for hotel expenses. Nothing
towards redress could then be effected. The interpreter
was off, and the gentleman was tied to time, but before
starting he gave the name and address of the person who
had so shamefully imposed on him, and requested that
if any of the money so improperly obtained could be got
back, it might be given to some charity. On Thursday
Butt, one of the company's officers, called on the " in•
terpreter," whose name is Francis, and who lives at No.
7, Rose-court, Tower-street, City. Francis returned
It. 17s. 6d., his bill being altogether 91. 19s. 6d., and
this sum Mr. Young had sent to the poor-box.
Mr. Norton observed he was glad to find that the man
was made to disgorge, and said be thought such practices
were confined to commissioners on the continent, who
were the greatest pests that English travellers had to
encounter.

SOUTH WARK.—William Rose and James Low,
two well-known thieves, were brought up in custody,
charged with breaking into thecounting-house of Messrs.
West and Wagstaffe, coal merchants, Commercial-wharf,
Jommercial.road, Lambeth, arid stealing therefrom a
quantity of bye-laws of a masonic lodge, held at the Star
and Garter, a badge of the order, and a silver cigar tube.
Henry Baraett, 81 L, said that about 11 o'clock on the
previous night he was on duty in the Commercial-road,
when he saw the prisoners and another man lurking about.
Suspecting their character he watched them, and saw two
of them go towards an open wharf, the third man remain-
ing outside. About 20 minutes afterwards witness went
down the prosecutors' wharf and found the counting.
house open, and on entering he perceived the desks open
and papers strewn all about. Witness thenlwent up the
wharf and saw Rose walking fast towards the street, and
as soon as he saw him he threw the badge of the order
(produced) away. He pursued him and took him into
custody. Having handed him over to another constable,
he went to look after the other men, when he met the
prisoner Low coming from the wharf. He stopped and
asked him what he had about him, when he replied no-
thing. Witness told him he must go to the station house,
as he believed him to be concerned with others in break.
ing into the counting house of Messrs. West and Wag-
staffe. He replied that he knew no hing about that, but
he could tell him something rather singular. Low the❑
produced from under his coat a parcel containing a n urn-
oer of bye laws of a masonic lodge, and said that, a few
minutes previous, he saw a man running away throw it
into the road. He picked it up, and was about to carry
it to the station house. Witness told him he must go to
the station house and explain the circumstances. On the
way t) the station house be saw the prisoner Low throw
a bunch of keys away, which witness picked up. When
he afterwards searched him he found in his trousers
pocket a silver cigar tube. Mr. Wagstaffe identified the
latter as having been stolen from his desk, which he had
locked up on the previous evening. The other property
was also•left safe in the counting house at the same time.
The counting house had been entered by breaking a win-
dow, and all the locks inside had been forced, but for-
tunately the thieves had missed the cash box.
The prisoners, who said nothing in their defence, were
remanded for a week.

THAMES.—MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—Honora Tindal,
a young woman who has been frequently in custody for
robbing seamen and others, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch, 51. in
gold, and 20s. in silver, from a Frenchman named
Francois Lancet.

An Irish woman, named Honors Hulaghin, was com-
mitted for trial on Tuesday last for robbing the prose-
cutor, and he swore positively to her. Dunaway, 129
H, a detective officer, having subsequently received
information which convinced him Hulaghin was inno
cent, and that Tindal was the guilty party, Herlaghin
was sent for from the House of Detention and placed
alongside . the woman Tindal. The Frenchman,
who was examined through the medium of Nor-
ruoyle, 133 H, a clever linguist, said that he was
late a soldier in the British Foreign Legion, and
on the Ist of this month he went home with the prisoner
Tindal after he had drunk with her. He gave her Bd.
to obtain a pot of ale, and after he had drank a glass of
it he fell into a doze. Soon afterwards he heard the
prisoner moving about the room, and saw her take up
his waistcoat, which he had placed on a chair, and run
away with it. He followed her, but was unable to
overtake her. He had previously sworn to Herlaghin,
but he was now positive that Tindal was the woman.
Mr. Yardley committed Tindal for trial, and liberated
Hulaghin in her own recognisance to appear at the
sessions.
