(AY eiMA—MOTMt’S TIMGSAMS). ADELAIDE, Jan. 31. Arrived, this morning, Orient steamer Cuzco, from London, Dec. 18.

Two more ingots of gold, which it is alleged formed part of the bullion stolen from the steamer Tararua, have been found concealed in the lid of an iron box which belonged to Hinton, the late steward of the Tararua, who recently died here. The ingots are valued at £l,lOO each. One of them bears traces of an attempt to melt it, and to cut it in two, confirn ig the belief that Hinton had an accomplice in the supposed robbery, The bex in which the Ingots were found Is the same as that in whieh the gold was discovered by the police on the 19th inst. It was ingeniously constructed, but the weight of the lid attracted the notice of the police, and led to the discovery of the remainder of the gold. Hinton died in poverty. The box in whieh the gold was discovered is bound both inside and outside with an iron lid. It is convex, with a chamber in the centre carefully papered over. MELBOURNE, Jan. 31.
