BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT. Reuter's Telegrams. •ADELAIDE, January 31. Two more ingots of gold, which are alleged to have formed part of the bullion stolen from the steamer Tararua, have been found concealed in the lid of the iron box which belonged to the Hinton, the late steward of the Tararua who recently died here. The ingots are valued at £llOO each. One of them bears traces of attempts' to melt it and to out it in to, confirming the belief that Hinton had accomplices in the supposed robbery. The box in which the ingots were found'is the same in whioh the gold was discovered by the police on the 19th instant. It was most 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.
