WESTMINSTER.-(THIS DAY).

William Cotter, late a butler to the Rev. William
Thorpe, was charged with stealing 34 large silver forks
and 4 smaller forks, and a silver wine strainer, value 701.,
the property of his late master.
Dr. William Thorpe, living at No. 9, Belgrave-
street, stated that he was a clergyman of the Church of
England. The prisoner had been living in his family
as a butler. Ou Tuesday last the prisoner rushed into
his private study, declaring that he had been robbed,
and that all his forks had been stolen from the pantry
and carried off: :On coming down stairs and going
into his pantry, he was struck with the position of the
plate, he having placed it oa a table close to the
window, so that any one going down the area
steps might see it, and exactly opposite his
pantry door, so that all persons going along the passage
to the kitchen could see it, and thus giving them a
chance of stealing it. In answer to a question, he stated
to him that it must have been stolen while he answered
his bell, he having rung for him to give the page a letter.
He then inquired if any one had been in the house, and
learned that no one had been except the greengrocer's
boy. He sent for the boy and his master, and called in
the police, and questioned him as to what he bad done,
and how long he had stayed, when he found that he had
only stayed a few moments. The prisoner then stated that
he had put the key in the pantry door and left it there. On
asking him what had been taken he said only the forks,
they have left the rest. He had a strong suspicion in his
mind, but did not feel warranted to give him into cus-
tody. At night it was suggested to him that the remain-
ing plate should be taken up stairs, and accordingly he
gave directions to that effect. On going from his study
at half-past ten he found that the prisoner had not done
so. He, however, brought it up, when he found that
the silver wine strainer was gone, and on asking him
where it was he said he had forgot it, and would go and
fetch it. In about ten minutes after he came up and said
that had also gone. He received a good character from
his last place, but did not see the mistress of the house.

W. Stevens, page to the prosecutor, stated that on
Monday week a Jew came to the house, and spoke about
ten minutes to Cotter.

H. Taylor, the footman, also proved about the Jew
coming to the house.—The prisoner was remanded.

NEW MOIVL IILY.

- - An intimation of good things in store for the
readers and subscribers of the New Monthly pre-
cedes the opening of its number for February.
Through a very laughable communication, supposed
to have been written to the " Mr. Redactor, Esquire,"
of the magazine, by two foreit;ners, bight Adolphe
Coquelicot and Karl Blumenthal, we learn that those
distinguished personages propose to recount some
particulars of the visit paid to London, in 1851, by
All the World and his Wife. No little fun may,
consequently, be anticipated from the projected
serial, which will doubtless tend very consider-
ably to enhance the attractions of this sterling pe-
riodical. As it is, even without the aid of Monsieur
Cuquelicot, the Aew Monthly contrives to be both
entertaining and—to an unusual extent among the
generality of similar publications—instructive. The
leading contribution in its present instalment is
another of those remarkable revelations as to the
secret policy of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgb, which
have imparted of late a peculiar importance to the
magazine. " Occupation of Sulina by Russia" is the
heading of the latest of these political chapters ; and
through it the reader obtains a vivid appreciation of all
the circumstances connected with that occurrence, from
the time when, in 1840, it received the sanction of Aus-
tria in a special convention. "Hawking at Loo, a Palace
of the King of Holland," is one of those delightful
reminiscences iu the inditing of which Captain
Medwin has already shown himself so often to be a
proficient. Every sympathiser in the sufferings of

r. Milman's biography is
brought to a conclusion. " A Highway Robbery
by Mistake," from the pen of Dudley Costello,
is abounding in broad humour, and cannot fail
to provoke a feeling of hilarity in the perusal.
The pursuit of good fortune under difficulties, by
Messrs. Fluffy and Gimp, presents altogether a most
ludicrous picture to the imagination. An admirable
review is given immediately afterwards of the Rev.
John Collingwood Bruce's historical, topographical,
and descriptive work on " The Great Roman Wall
in North Britain." A little further advance is made
by Nicholas Michell, in his story of " Hester So-
merset," and one or two more glorious chapters of
" Soapey Sponge's Sporting Tour" follow. Master
Cheek's behaviour at the breakfast table is described
with coarse but irresistible humour. Three
other excellent critical notices are contained
in the New Monthly for February ; one relat-
ing to the " Progress of' Arctic Exploration,"
another recounting the " Charms of an Aus-
tralian Squatter's Life," and the last relating to the
" Conversations of Goethe, " recently translated
from the German by John Oxenford. Mr. Joseph
Anthony, junior, contributes a touching " Sketch in
the Streets of Manchester," and besides other papers
not mentioned, the magazine contains a very
lively and delightful account of the " Pavilion Ball at
Brighton, by One who was There." Afterour epitome
of the contents of the number for February, need we
observe that the New Monthly yields agreeable and
diversified entertainment?
