know that the heart of neither is a carte blanche —you can-

interest, which will be found eventually to coincide with your
owe.
swan, then, an fern mature to all intents and purposes ;
of that there is so doubt, whatever the of the matter may
be ; bat although capricious birds, wild la their very nature,
like most living creatures they have some attachment to place.
The first point, therefore, is to settle them agreeably in their
destined home. Old birds are less likely to be contented with
a new abode, unless very distant from their former one, and
are seldom to be obtained in the market. Cygnets may be
procured every autumn ; Maley have been pat up to fat for
some time, so much the better, se they will the sooner be-
come tame, and conunted with a small range, which I am
supposing to t• the thing required. Tie disadvantage el
having cygnets to begin swan keeping with, is, that they am
lees ornamental till they have attained their perfect plumage,
and the proper orange colour of the bill, and that they do
not breed till the third year.
In selecting any water-birds whose plumage is alike in
both sexes, and which cannot therefore be disunguished with
annul, the best rule is to see them in the water, and take
that which swims deepest for the female, and that which
floats with greatest buoyancy for the male, remembering that
all creatures of the masculine gender hays the largest lungs
in proportion to their size. Toe neck of the cork-bird is
usually thicker. An experienced eye, will, besides, detect a
certain femme' gentleness and modesty in the one, and an
alacrity aid baleen in the other, which is a tolerably safe
snide, as well m as appropriate and becoming attribute to
the ereatans themselves. It is cheaper in the end to give a fair
nee for a pair of old, well-seaweed birds to begin with, than
to nadirs* the ease, the delay, and perhaps disappointment
of nursing eygaete throughout their youth of three long years'
dumdum. Meithisto and claezu of the orange on the
bill, sad fall development of the knob or " berry,' indicate
the complete maturity of the bird. Supposing, however, the
reader to have obtained two cyenets that are not mere
friends, bat actually husband aad wife, he will recollect chit
those reserved for fatting are never pinioned lest it should
sheik their r regress, and he will request the operation to he
=before he has them home, in order that they may
II fewest possible disagreeable reminiscences con-
gested with the spot were they are to spend their lives.
There are two ways of pinioning birds; at the elbow joint,
and at the wrist. The amputation of the pert of the wing
which corrigenda to our hand is quite sufilesient to prevent
the flight of the short-winged species, as far as migration is
concerned, &agar's them len than the closer pruning, and
still leaves them the means of escape from a dog or • poacher,
allows them now sad then in their gambols to fancy they are
free, end to enjoy a sort of half-run, haltfiy from the lawn
into the water. Kindness, comfort, and good feeding must
be employed to keep them at home as far as possible ; but
the loss of the lastjoint only of the wing will not be enough
to prevent swans from joining any travelling corapanues
who are on the way to the Arctic circle. I should recom-
mend the female to be pinioned at the wrist, the male at the
elbow, trusties to their mutual attachment to keep the lem-
maimed bird from deserting her mate. But however it be
done, let it be set about is a work manlike meaner; no
chopping nor backing, nor hewing, nor butchering. Many
cygnets an annually killed by the clumsy way in which
their wing is lopped off. They suffer tram the shock to
thetr nervous system as much as from the hemorrhage.
If any brook rune into and from the peed where they are
remain, their , through that channel mast be pre-

Wort, In the service of a milliner, and whose father
was described as holding a situation under government, was
Merged with having rohni mosey and oilier property from
several children.—The first charge war brought forward by
Yr. A. Lloyd, whose daughter deposed that while paring
through Kingslaad-road, about a fortnight since, • ith some
articles of grocery, she was accosted by the prisoner, who
requested her to deliver a message in an adjoining street,
and offered to take care of her parcels till she returned. The
articleawere entrusted to her. and when the child returned the
prisoner had disappeared. She saw nothing more of the pri-
soner until the preceding afternoon, when she accidentally
met her near the same spot, and pointed her out to a police
sergeant who was questioning her en the subject, when an-
other child happened to pass, and at ones re-
cognised her as having phisciered her also on a
former occasion by a similar artifice.—Sergeant Godfrey in-
formed the rnagi•trate that upon reaching the court that
morning the prisoner was recognised by a constable me
having been in custody at another station•house a few days
sines, upon a charge of the like description, which she de-
nied with such pertinacity, and so confidently vaunted her
respectability, that the complaining parties decl ned to pro-
ceed with the prueacution.—The prisoner did not attempt to
deny the latter allegation, but persisted that the several
charges were without the slightest foundation, and that the
witnesses were unholy mistaken in her identity.—The ma-
gistrate remanded the prisoner fur a week, and refused to
admit her to ball.
MARLBOROUGH STREET.—Comousx or lama

PAOPSIII.—Two children were ek aged with having been
found begging. The eldest, • girl aged 11, said her lather
and mower, who with • number of paupers came from Ire-
land about six months ago, were apprehended about a mouth
ago for begging, and had been committed for a month to the
House of Correction. The girl, her sister, aged 8, and her
brother, aged 8, were left in the streets foully destitute.
They had made application to the parish authorities of tit.
(;ilea's to be taken into the house until their parents came
out of prison, but had been reload shelter. Foe nearly • ti
month they bad wandered about the streets begging by ci
day and sleeping in doorways or oc staircases at night.
Mr. Bingham saw, it the girl's statement was true, it was •
WO that ought tobe attended to, and ordered the Mendieity b
officer to take the children to the workhouse, with • request
for the children to be admitted. 1
ANOTHSS CA•a.—A woman with an infant presented her- s
sill before Ilr. Hardwick to know what she must do under
these circumstances She bad been committed for begging:
she had been discharged that morning, and the moment sus 1
left the prison her four children, the eldeq about 10 year* c
old, ragged and shoeless, were given into her charge
What was ahe to do ? She was willing to work 1
night and day to support her children. She was 1
without money or any other mew of procaring a
shelter for her children even for one night—Mr. Hardwick
remarked that them cases, shish were unfortunately too fre-
quent, could not be reached by a magistrate. It was cer-
tainly • very hard position for the woman wbe placid in, i
but the law made no provision fir such cases, and be did not II
clearly see what was to woman, whose name 4
was Sarah Harvey, having stated that she could, perhaps,
get • living if she bad • little stock of netted articles, was 1.
furnished with 7t. to set her up in bu-inese.

paticulare of the previous txaminations have already ap- -
peered. Mr. Rioter stated that on the note being return, d
to him ea a Jewry two or three days after he pasted it, he
went to the prisoner, who at first said he took the note at
Chester, and then contradicted himself by saying that he
bad received it in London. Re said he would bring the
forward from whom he received it. This he di,: nut
