the crew of the prirateu on the first occasion, and
to lodge her in a port.

TO substantiate the. defence,- Kennedy, an
American, and another witness, were called.‘—
These Aitnesses were serving on bad the privw eer
when she was taken. Their testimony Corroborated
the defence, thnt the prisoners had formed a plando
get possession of the privateer, by overpowering.
the crew ; but, on being class-examined, it lout,
ed out the two of them (Qtinitlis airtlCurbLit), hai
also sersed in the-Napoleon privateer.
The Judge•observed, that the distresses of ilia
prisoners was no excuse for serving the enemy.--...:

11. Jemott was indiEted for stealing, on board the..
ship Maria, doilars to the amount of 70,0 W)!. the
property of various merchants.

It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner-,
conjunction .with others, had bargained tor a yes,,e/
called the Maria, a, d they Succeeded in the
chase for 7001. put porting to have acted as agents
for Lazarus and Cvhen, t o .Lws. Atter the pur-
chase of the vessel, it was announced by. advertise-
.mentat Llo) d's, that she was bound, for Pz-rnam-
bucco. A person named De S3lva was appointed
Crptain, and she vas laden with the doll ,rs' in ques-
tion, and other goods, to a very considerable amount.
Instead of proceeding on her voyage to the Brazilit.
she was steered to A port in the 'West Indies,' where;
the Maria was transformed into the Columbus, of
New York, by being painted from black to yellow.
The prisonet was a, kind of supercar'o on the voy-
age; and at Cuba the dollar chests were broken
open, and carri,:d otT 'in a schooner, under his di-
rection. The ship was afterwards taken into another
port•and sold.

In defence; the prioner stated himself to hare
been merely a servant in the employ of tl:e owners,
and did not know that -the cargo was misapplied
when &livered on board the schooner.

It, however, turned out, from various circum-
stances, that the priSoner was privy to the whole
fraud. Pearkes, an officer at Bow-street, producvd
some letters, found on the prisoner, to his wife,
and which proved that he was even in want of a dol-
lar when he sided on board theMiria, but that on
his return it was proved,that he was north 60001.,
and he was getting heavy blls discounted, and de.
positing large sums in a banker's hands.
The prisoner was found Guilty—Deuth.
The Judge proceeded to pass sentence of death on
the prisoner, separate from the rest, and he inform-
ed him that he had no lopes of mercy.
The other four prisoners received sentence of
death also, but the Judge gave them sone hope
of mercy.

The RhinoceroS and 'the_ Elephant being the
largest -and -strongest of all terrestrial animals, a'e
considered the most formidable enemies to each
other;—how highly gratifying it mist be to any
person w‘ao takes even the }east notice of Nature's
wonderful pryduaions, to see t o such poker tel
ememies, so closely united, in perfeM harmony, in
the very centre of this great metropolis ; but that
is not all, the most fierce inhabitantK of the exten-
sive tOrests of Asia, Africa, and Atnerica, even
those of the most blood thirsty nature, are seeo. fit
peaceful enjoyment of health, daily improving id
size and condition, seemingly delighted with the
familiarity of their keepers, 'thid even at being no-
ticed by strangers—a scene equally astonishing as
is pleasrog, and confers the bight st credit Ott
Mr. POLITO, the Proprietor of the Royal Menagerie,
Exeter, 'Change, whose peculiar treatment of ani-
mals has enabled hint io possess the finest speci-
mens and the_greatest variety. ,
