ItorAL MENAGERA 'the lattnengers through the Strand seat have served that this interesting depot of foreign curiosities has been lately under repair. The great rooms so the south-eastern side, usually occupied by the grand elephant, having become empty, workout.) have been employed to prepare it fur habitatiou. It is a curious coincidence, that the foreign place in the menagerie iu Downing-street became empty exactly at the same time. There are also extraor dinary points of similitude between the tenants of these two apartments. The elephant is the most sagacious of all the beasts of the forest. The occu pant of the foreign box in Downing-street is famed tur his sagacity. and is equal in tricks and playful ness to any elephant. Their admission into their several cells was also matter of danger and diffi culty. In order to get the elephant into Exeter 'Change, fears were entertained that part of the building moat come down ; in order to get the other into the Cabinet, it was feared that part of it must come out. Fortunately both these great na tional objects have been effected, bet not until after A:uusiderable labour and expense. ASTRONOMICAL RSTROSPECTIONS AND A NTICI PATIO NS.

Thomas Coetereg was indicted for stealing seventy yards of black silk , the property of Thomas B. ifitanbridge, out of his dwelling-house in St. Leonard's, Shoreditch. The Prisoner was a stuntman in the employ of Mr. Stanbridge, an eminent silk-dresser, who had received the silk in question on the 11th of March last, from Messrs. itinim, for the purpose • of its being dressed. W he'll the silk w as sent tor by Messrs. Loam it wail missing, and suspicion falling on the Prisoner, who had then quitted the service of Mr. Stanbridge, be iris taken into custody, and on searching him a pawnbroker's duplicate was foond ou him fur part of the silk, which it appeared he had cut and pledged at tiro different pawn. brokers, on the 4th and 20th of April. Oue of the duplicates he gave to Mr. Harrold, with whom be lodged, for his rent, and he informed him that he had taken the piece of silk in part of a bad debt. The case was clearly proved ou the part of the Prosecution. The Prisoner. in his defence, pleaded extreme dis tress, being reduced from • respectable situation in life, and *ring a wife nod four young children dependent on himlor sapport. The Prosecutor and several other respectable witnesses gave the Prisoner a good character for honesty. Mr. Justice BEST regretted that it was a painful duty which they had to perform; but he feared, as there was no doubt of the fact, the good character which the Prisoner received could there weigh no thing; hut he would take care that it should be made known where it would have effect. The Jury found him Gouty, but recommended him to mercy, in which the Prosecutor strongly joined. Mary Agnes Louisa Butler was indicted for stealing in die dwelling-house of Robert Colterell 351. in Bank of England notes, and a pen-knife, the property of William Drewe, ou the 10th of August last. The Prisoner, when placed at the bar, was al lowed the indulgence of • seat. She was genteelly dressed, and was of extremely interesting appear ance. She appeared about 0 years of age, and seemed in an advanced stage of pregnancy. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case for the prosecu tion, and called the following witnesses:— Elizabeth Cotterell examined—"" I live at 29, Surry-street ; I receive boarders and lodgers in my house. The Prisoner came to lodge with me; she had known her before for a short time. The Prisoner said she had been io France, and was going there again shortly. She stated that she had got married. and was then Mrs. Butler. She came to lodge with me, and had been eight days with me before she was taken up. I had • lodger and boarder, a Captain Drewe. commanding a West 'inhuman; his desk stood in the dining-room. At a little after 14 o'clock on the Saturday, I went to bed, leaving the Prisoner alone in the drawing-room. About half an hour afterwards, I came out on the landing-place, and met the Prisoner coming up stairs. She laid hold of the bannisters of the etairs, and made • noise, and appeared much agitated. I asked her whet she made so much noise for. She said she was tired. Afterwards I heard a noise, and, opening my door, I found her at my daughter's room, asking for a light. On the following day (Sunday), about two o'clock, I came down, and saw Captain Drewe's writing-desk in the usual place; and, going to lift it, I discovered it was open. The Prisoner, at that time, was gone out. - I took the desk, and locked it up. Captain Drewe had gone out on the Saturday night, and he re turned on Sunday. I did not see him till he ap peared at the breakfast-table on Monday morning. I gave him the desk, and, in consequence of some thing which passed, a Bow-street officer was sent for, who searched the house. Mrs. Butler was iu bed, and, during the time he was making the search, I went to her bed-room, and stand with her she got up, and was dressed, when I let the officer in. Two St notes were found in the rosettes of the bed furniture. In her drawers was found a clasp of a pocket-book which belonged to the Pri soner. It was then detached from the pocket-book, though a few days before 1 had seen it with the poe ket- book. Cross-examined by Mr. ALUM—I have been married seven years. Mr. Cotterell is a convey. sneer, and resides in Camden, in Gloucester. shire, and comes to town four or five times a year. His name is Hobert Dover Cotterell. Mrs. Butler had complained on Saturday that she bad lost her pocket-book, in which was the key of the drawer in which she kept her night-clothes. Mr. Cotterell was called. He said his binatiras Robert Dover Cotterell. %Vas. Drewe examined—l am • master-mariner. I lodged in Mrs. Cotterell's house; on the 26th July I received 150/. from Prescott and Co.. among them was sixteen notes of 5!. Ou Saturday, the 10th of August, I had seven of those notes in my possession; I was going out on Saturday even ing. and in the Prisoner's presence I placed them in my desk, and locked it, in which state it was when I went out. Mrs. Cotterell's daughter, a gentleman named Bristow, and the Prisoner, were in the room when I left it. returned on Sunday, about one o'clock. and went out again in about twenty minutes. I slept out that night, •nd cume home next morning at eight o'clock. Mrs. Cotterell produced my desk, which I found open. I missed my pen-kutfe, and on looking further I found the notes were gone. I went to Bow -street, and fetched Ellis, an officer. All the servants, and Mrs. Cotterell, were searched. I was called into the Prisoner's room when the mo ney was found. She disclaimed all knowledge of the two notes, but said the sovereigns were her own. Mary Ann Ashmore examined.—On the 10th August I was in the service of Mrs. Cotterell. Mrs. Butler went up to bed about half an hour after my i t mistress went to bed; she rang the bell for me afterwardr, and asked me for her pocket-book, which she said she had left on or under the bed; she said she had the key of her drawers in that book, and could not get her night clothes out. Next day she told me I must look for her pocket-book, as she had not a farthing of money but what was in her pocket-book. She said she had foond the key of her drawers on the carpet. She went out that day, and returned betweesi nine and ten o'clock at night. James 111 s examined.—l am a Bon-street WS- • • t • • ter; i went on the 14th August and searched at the house in Surrey-street; I saw the desk of Capt. Drewe, the lock had been forced. Isearched the boxes and rooms, and the persons of Mrs. Cotterell and the servant's but found nothing. I then sent up Mrs. Cotterell, and afterwards went bp myself, to the Prisoner's room. I found in the top drawer of • chest of drawers, three parcels of money, sealed up. In tile first paper was 00 sovereigns, in the other paper was 40 shillings in sil►er, in another paper was 10 shillings in silver, and in another 10 sixpences: there were loose two sovereigns and four Shillings. The Prisoner .was present. I forind a Pocket-book clasp also. I proceeded in my search and left the room, whilst Mrs. Cotterell searched the Prisoner. 1 was then culled into the room again, and searched the bed ; furniture; I pressed the rosettes at the bottom, and felt something rattle; I pressed against the other, and Mrs. Cotterell then mid, what is that rattling? and put her hand to it. I took oat two 5/. notes; these are the notes [the notes produced]. I asked the Prisoner if she k..ew how they came there ? She said she knew nothing of them. The moory she said was her's ; she had had it by her three weeks or • month. Afterwards, on the 2711, of August, another I. note came into my hands, and I went with Mr. Price, a surgeon of Kensington, to see the Prisoner in Tothill-fields • where she then was, _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY—The Prisoner stated before the Justice that the money was sealed ep for the purpose of paying her expenses to France. Francis Newcomb, clerk to Prescott, Grote, and Co. proved the numbers, dates, and amount of notes paid to Captain Drewe. The notes were all dated June 19, lin% and the numbers ran rept- I.irly, awl in that regular order they were given to Captain Drewe. Captain Drewe recalled.—Fle took the notes, and paid them regularly in the order he received them, and never mixed or transposed them, so that the lowest numbers of Potts were those he paid away. . . _ Jones Price examined.-1 am a surgeon and chemist in Kensington ; on Sunday, the 11th of August, I sold a bottle of laveuder.water to the Prisoner, between seven and eight o'clock ; she paid for it by a SI. note [the note produced]; this is the note; the address she gave I wrote on it, No. 8, St. James's-place ; she said she had the note from Mrs. Grey, the lady who keeps • school at Brook Green. It was a remarkable bottle that had the lavender-water—[the bottle produced]—that is it. I went with Ellis, the officer, and saw the Pri soner at Tuthill-firlds; it is painful to me to state it, hut the Prisoner is the person I am sure. Ellis stated, that he received the lavender bottle from Mr. and Mrs. Cotterell ; he saw it taken from the mantle of the dming-room. Horatio Curtis, assistant to Mr. Price, chemist, at Kensington, recollected seeing the Prisoner at the letter end of the month of August. Win. Syers, a pastry-cook, at Kensington, recol lected the Prisoner being in his shop on Sunday, the 11Th August. She wanted change of a 5/ note, which he could not give her. Si. her only fur a short time, but thinks the Prisoner was the person. Ann Gray keeps • school at Brook Green, fur persons of the Romish persuasion. She had not seen this Prisoner at the bar for seven years b e t. re the 10th A upset ; she never lent or paid her a I. Bank of England note. _ -- Hodges. bootmaker, at 152, Piccadilly— The Prisoner lodged with him ; she came on the 12th July, and left the id August; she told birn she was going, but she did not pay her reut. The case fur the Prosecution being closed, the Prisoner was asked what she had to say in her de fence. She rose and stood for a short period, and then requested permission to address the Jury from her seat. which being granted, she proceeded, look ing occasionally at a paper, iii a voice at first nearly inaudible, but gathering strength, she went on. She argued on the danger of forming a judgment adverse to her from circumstances which might bear another and more favourable construction. She gave as a reason why she had not disclosed the name of the person from whom she had actually received the money, that it would he compromising the peace of a family. to which nothing could induce her to consent, though she could prove that she had received some money within three or four weeks of the time when she was apprehended. She conclud ed in • broken voice with • pathetic appeal to the Court and Jury on the forlorn, fnendltss, and des titute situation in which she stood. Joseph Singleton, r porter, was then called, who Mated, that he had brought from Boodle's club house a letter for the Pri►oner, which, from the feel of it, he thought contained money and bank notes. It was about a month or five weeks op. Mr. Justice KtcHARDBOX summed up the evi dence to the Jury with his accustomed clearness. His Lordship charged them to acquit the Prisoner of the capital part of the cha►ge, on account of the mistake in the name of Mr. Cotterell. After $ short deliberation the Jury returned a verdict of guilty of stealing, but recommended her to mercy, in which the Prosecutor joined. The Prisoner retired from the bar in great agi. tation. Williams Reading was indicted fir stealing in the direlling•house of Robert ‘Vesiwood 200 watches end various other articles of jewellery to the value of 1,0001. and six soverrigns, and Benjamin Solo mon* was indicted as an 'Fernery. . _ Mr. CUIIWOOD stated the care to the Jury, and culled It.
