NED KELLYS REMOVAL TO BEECHWORTH. Melbourne, August 10.

So secret were the pplice arrangements carried out in connection with the removal of the out-law to Beeohworth to take his trial, that only a few sympathisers assembled at the station. Should there be any demonstration however at the court the examination will be conducted within the prison walls. Kelly has been very quiet since his arrival at Beechworth, and is only visited by his solicitors, Mr. Zincke and Mr. Clark. His sudden removal rather snrprised his Greta friends, and many visited Benalla to confirm the statement made by the Press. An attempt will be made to obtain a postponement of the trial for a week. The witnesses to be examined on behalf of the Crown will be Constable Mclntyre (who shot Kelly at Glenrowan), Senior Constablt Kelly, and Constnble Bracken. The last-named will givo evidence with regard to certain statements made by Kelly at Jones's public-house, Glenrowan previous to the arrival of the police. It is also expected that witnesses will be brought from Jerildei ie. Kelly s demeanour in the train was more extroadinary Hum at first reported. His hatred for Sergeaut Sfceele was very marked. On the way up he sprang o» him and had to be thrown down on the seat by two constables. At Enroa he looked out of the train, and pointod to the feuce, saying, " That's where Steve Hart hung up his horse when he saw the d d policeman coming. The fool passed him and Steve said { ' good-day' to him, but h#did not drop to him." At Glenrowan, Kelly told Sergeant Steele he would like to have him in the bush and he would shoot him ; and that whilst in the bush he had made his own powder. With regard to the proceedings at Jane's hotel, he said he and Byrne started firing from the verandah, as Hart and Dan were too slow in coming out after the police had fired. They fired againfromthe chimney, and it was then that he was wounded. He then went into the house and reached under the beds for Bracken to shoot him. Having done so, he walked out through the back door told Byrne he would braak through the police lines at daylight. When he commenced firing he expected the gang to come out and join him. He was sorry that he and the others had not rushed the station when the train came in, for if he had done so he was certain they would have killed the whole party. — (A Correspondent.)
