DI ARLBORO U GH-STREET.

Yesterday Stephen Sandford, and. Sarah Sand-
fi)rd, his wife, and William Leslie, charged v. ith
being concerned in the burglary committed at the
house of Messrs. Stultz, the tailors, in Clifford-
street, on the night of Friday week last, and now
also charged with several burglaries at the house of
Mr. Edge, the solicitor, in Essex-street, Strand,
were brought before Mr. CONANT for re-examina-
tion. At the examination of Sandford on the former
day, it was learned that he resided at a house in
Grange-court, Clare-market, where his wife, the
female prisoner, also lived with him; and on fur-
ther inquiry, Mr. Pitcher, the solicitor for Messrs.
Stultz, discovered that the landlord of this house
was the prisoner Leslie, who had for a considerable
time been in the employ of Messrs. Stultz as a jour-
neyman, but is now a master-tailor on his own ac-
count, and it was therefore determined to appre-
hend Leslie on suspicion of being concerned in the
burglary ; but from the moment that Stephen Sand-
ford was apprehended, Leslie disappeared from his
house, and was never to be found there, although
the officers searched for him at all hours of the day
and night. A stratagem to catch him was at length
resorted to by the officers, and that was by leaving
a summons at the house for him to appear yesterday
as a witness, and give evidence against Sandford as
landlord of the house, and leaving word that it was
merely for this purpose that he was wanted, and
into the trap the prisoner completely fell, for yester-
day morning he presented himself very boldly at the
office, and handed in his summons, when he was in-
stantly taken into custody, and placed with the
other prisoners at the bar.
Two watchmen, who were stationed near Messrs.
Stultz's house on the night of the burglary, stated
that about twelve o'clock on that night, the prisoner
Leslie came up to them, and after getting into con-
versation with them for a little time, asked them to
go with him to a public-house, and he would give
them as much ale as they could drink; but they
refused to do so.
The prisoners were remanded for a week.

RAIL-WAY EXPERIMENT.—On Wednes-
day several gentlemen assembled on the level piece of rail-
way between Edgehill and the Wavertree-road, to witness
the trial of rail-way carriage wheels on Mr. WlNNares
principle. The carriage and wheels weighed llcwt. I qr.
316 a., and was loaded with pig iron, weighing 3 tons, lqr.
cwt. 211bs. making a total of weight to be moved 3 tons,
I I cwt. 2grs. 241bs. A contrivance for ascertaining the
requisite power or weight to move the above was used, and
had previously obtained the sanction of two eminent engi-
neers ; and every means resorted to obtain a fair result,
being assisted by the overlookers, and some men from the
company's depot, to keep the rail-way clear and clean.
The carriage and weight were moved along the road at
various speeds, and with 1011)8., 121b5., 151b5., 171bs. and
191b5., from which the following proportionate results
were deduced :—I lb. moved 334, and kept it moving 41
miles per hour; Ill). moved 470, and kept it moving
miles per hour ; and I lb. moved 616, and kept it moving
23- miles per hour. When motion was first given by
other power to the carriage, th,n I lb. with 617, kept it
moving 4k miles per hour; and 111,, with 800, kept it
moving: when 121 b. 12oz. and upwards were used to
bring the carriage and load forward, it invariably tamed
in speed. On the whole, the results were highly satisfac-
tory, and from them it would appear that a horse's work
on the rail-road, at a slow speed, may be brought to ap-
proximate much nearer to his work on a canal than, per-
haps, had been generally imagined, One point seemed to
be fuunderi that this principle has greater advan-
