eign relations, he, the speaker, had
taken every pains to secure for the
society high character for not ask
ing without giving, and for fulfilling
its promises. This was often labori-
Gus, and involved delays; but he
made it a point nevcrto lose sight of
a distinctly expressed want by any
correspondent, if 1t were at all within
the compass of the society. The re-
quests sometimes took difficult and
strange forms, such as the skin Of
paltypus, the skeleton of kangaroo,
or a series of chronological photo
graphs. But he never had yet to
admit the society beaten, although
at the present moment there was
distant prospect of defeat through the
medium of request for examples of
the dugong family, which did not by
any means come at call. To him the
labor of all this correspondence was
as nothing compared with its engross-
ing interest ; apart from its results to
this institution, to science, and to the
progress of horticulture within the
colony, a mutual respect in more
than one instance, had been created
which made him often feel as if, when
writing to man he had never seen,
he was addressing an old friend. So
long, therefore, as he could conduct
the foreign correspondence, there was
little chance of its languishing. The
number of seeds and plants, especially
of the former, which now came to the
society was greatly on the increase,
and it would be gratifying alike to
the members of the society as well as
to its friends abroad to know that
the superior skill already secured, and
the improved and enlarged appliances
in progress, would for the future Sc
cure the raising of all seeds. however
difficult of culture, which might be
sent to the establishment with any
trace Of vitality left. He was CRATE
full for the kindly way in which his
services had been alluded to; but he
had his real reward in the success Of
the society, and its contributions to
the social as well as the material ad-
vancement Of the colony, and to the
cause Of science.

charge OF receiving goods that had been stolen
from II. b. Clalin 4 Co.. ended yesterday. Mr.
Clailn. sitting within the bar. was one of the
Interested spectators.
Thomas Bolton. tho States principal witness.
testified that he was formerly light porter in tho
employ Of II. y. Cla1n & Co. In 1872 he began
to conceal needles and spool cotton to the extent
of 70 900 ofthc former and fifty dozen ofthe latter
every day. He took them AWAY in his pockets
and sold them to David j. Hall. the keeper Of n
variety store in Pearl street. He frequently met

the fact that the needles and cotton had been
stolen.

not agreed. Judge Sutherland ordered that
