(From a Correspondent.)—The Isabella,
of Hull, in which Captain Ross made his first voyace to
the Arctic regions., a,,cl in which, by a singular coinci-
dence, he has returned from what msy be presumed will
be his last, was launched at Hull in the year 1812, and
named after the daughter of one of the owners, the late
W. Mourn, Esq., for whom and J. White, Esq., of Cot-
tingham, the vessel was built. She was theii engaged in
the transport service, and was at the taking of St. Sebas-

tian with the troops, when several of the crew were killed.
After the war, she was selected by the Government for the
Polar expedition, and fitted up with double decks and
other requisites to encounter the violence of the northern
sees. After the return of that expedition she was paid
off, and the vessel was then sold to the present owners,
who have taken advantage of the capabilities secured by
Government to engage in the whale fishery, in which she
has been extremely fortunate, her strength and other ad-
vantages having enabled the captains to go further into
the ice than other ships could venture. It was thus that
Capt.in Ross enjoyed the singular gratification, at the
time of obtaining a providential rescue from his hazardous
situation, to find him•elf rescued by the very vessel in
which he bad first gone forth on his great adventure.
DOMESTICATED ANIMALS.—An elephant
(says a recent writer), in a state of irritation, bad slain
his keeper by a blow. The moment he saw the poor man
did not move, he stopped suddenly, seemed concerned,
looked at him with an eye of pity, and stood riveted to
the spot. He then ran to the place whence he bad broken
loose, in fiont of which lay a little girl, about two years
old, the daughter of his unfortunate keeper. He took the
child from the ground, caressed and fondled it for some
time, and then replaced some clothes which had fallen off.
After this he stood over the child with his eyes fixed upon
it ; " and if," says the narrater, I did not see the peniten-
tial tear steal from his eye, I never saw it in my life."
He then submitted to be chained, and stood motionless and
dejected, as if sensible he had done a wrong he could not
repair. H

when the little orphan was in sight. Many persons went
to see the noble creature fondling his adopted; but there
was a visible alteration in his health ;:be fell :away, and
died at Compore six ittombo after.

Henry Lockie, a young man of very decent ap-
pearance, was brought before the LORD MAYOR
yesterday, upon the following charge :
Inspector Wilkinson, of the M division, stated
that the prisoner on the preceding night applied to
him to be informed what sort of punishment awaited
a person who was guilty of robbing a house in
which he resided—whether such a crime was
punishable with death ? Witness replied that the
penalty in a great measure depended upon the cir-
cumstances under which the robbery was committed.
" Well," said the prisoner, " I am the person who
has committed the robbery, and I am come to deli-
ver myself up to you." Witness suspected that
the person was either mad or drunk, and asked him
whether he was not joking, but the answer was
that he had robbed the house of a lady named Ed-
gar, No. 8, Devonshire-square, on the 22d of Sep-
tember, at about half-past twelve o'clock at night,
of forty sovereigns. Witness then sent a police
sergeant to the address of Miss Edgar, who, it ap-
peared, kept a lodging-house, and it was soon ascer-
tained that the prisoner's account of himself was
perfectly corr, or. In the absence of the sergeant
the prioner stared voluntarily that he had opened
the cook's box with a key, and taken out of it a
small box which contained the sovereigns and some
trinkets, but the latter he left behind. This account
completely agreed with the siatement of the cook as
to the sovereigns which had been stolen, and the
property which had been spared.
The LORD MAYOR—I see you have given a
very accurate account of this transaction, prisoner.
Pray, what have you done with the poor woman's
money ? Prisoner—l spent it all except is. 6d. I
took some spoons, too, and pawned them, and burnt
the ticket.

The LORD MAYOR—And what was your motive
for committing this monstrous robbery ? Prisoner
—I did it to be revenged.
The LORD MAYOR--Revenged! Who had
injured you ? Prisoner—The cook, my fellow-
servant. I was leaving the house, and I was pro-
mised a good character, but I heard the cook re-
fused to give it me, and I determined to do some.
thing to make her remember me, so I robbed her
of all she had.

The inspector stated that the prisoner said he had
been spending the money in Birmingham and
Manchester and other places, and that as he drew
towards the last shilling he approached the metro-
polis.

A policeman said that the prisoner acknowledged
that he was diQposed to push his revenge further,
and he had carried a pistol and bullets about him
for that purpose.
Elizabeth Chambers, the cook to Miss Edgar,
stated that the prisoner had been her fellow-ser-
vant, and had been always treated kindly by her.
She sometimes spoke to him about his indolent
habits, and she spoke to nobody else on the sub-
ject. The prisoner had received notice to quit,
but begged to be allowed to sleep in the house one
night more, and was permitted. In the morning,
when witness went down stairs, she found the street
door open, and that the prisoner had departed, and
she soon afterwards found that she was robbed.
The LORD MAYOR—Had he ever exhibited
symptoms of insanity ? Witness—Never, the
slightest.
Mr. Edgar, brother to Miss Edgar, stated that
the cook treated the prisoner more like a child than
a stranger.

The-inspector stated that the prisoner was the
son of a man who had been greatly respected as an
officer in the Union Hall establishment.

The LORD MAYOR—And what induced you to
deliver yourself up, and confess the robbery, pri-
soner ? Prisoner—Because I thought they would
be looking after me.
His Lordship remanded the prisoner for further
examination.
