found a piece of cloth which bad been dropped in the
street. Several table-cloths, articles of apparel, German
silver tea-spoons, &c., had been removed inside ready for
being carried off. These were identified by the servant
girl, as was a tea-caddy, which the depredators had bro-
ken up, in hopes, no doubt, of obtaining cash. They had
abstracted from it a German silver caddy spoon. The
prisoner, who was distinctly sworn to, when asked what
he had to say to this charge, merely replied " not guilty."
It was stated that he had in January last been apprehended
for stealing boots. Mr. Rushton committed him for
trial at the present sessions. _

ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—IG accordance with the usual
custom, the first grand opening fete of the season, at these
unique pleasure grounds, took place yesterday (Whit..
Monday) evening, and on no previous occasion have we
.had more gratification in congratulating the proprietor,
_Mr. Atkins, and his energetic corps, on the unparalelled
triumph of their exertions. The weather, after being ex-
ceedingly showery for some time past, became at once
beautiful, and the lively green, displayed on every plant,
was only surpassed in beauty by the richness of the com-
paratively many flowers that already decorate the gardens.
The refreshment saloon, which is newly decorated, was
thrown open. The Camera Ol:scura and Centrifuga
Railway were ,in full operation, and the Menagerie, to
which many important additions have been made, pre-
sented instruction and emusernent to hundreds. The
subject selected for the fete is a model of Hecla and the
surrounding chain of snow and ice mountains, and is not
only peculiarly adapted for pyrotechnic displays, but for
its scenic effects, as it presents at all times a ridge of

mountains,

liberation of the frozen-up shipping, the whole forming a

CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND WRESTLING.
Yesterday, at tha High Park Coffee House, there was
probably some of the hest wrestling that has ever been
witnessed in this neighbourhood. Owing to its being

unable to give the whole of the falls. Tie uay was ex-
ceedingly fine, and the company, if anything, too newer-
Otis. In the early part of the proceedings, Jonathan
Whitehead,of Workington, made a public acknowledgment
of his error in compromising a fall last Easter, at the Old
Swan, before he would be allowed to compete. The
competitors were divided into two classes,—men not
exceeding 104 stones, and men of all weights. We
shall just proceed to give the last rounds, whereby it
will be seen that the best wrestlers in the north of Eng-
land were engaged in the struggle. MEN NOT EXCEED-
ING, In STONES. Fourth round—Joseph Hewitson,
Keswick, threw Jonathan Whitehead, of Workington ;
Joseph Ilarr.ngton, Keswick, threw Walter Douglas,
Lorton ; Adam Park, Cockermouth, threw John Ken-
dall, of Workington. Fifth round—Joseph Harrington
threw Adam Park ; Joseph Ilewitson, odd man. Hew-
itson and Harrison, being friends and from the same
place, divided the prize, lest it might he thought they
made a sham wrestle for betting. MEN OF ALL
WEIGHTS. Fourth round—William Jnkson, Kin-
neyside, threw Charles Scaife, Haltwistle ; J. Mar-
tin, Mellon, threw William Robinson, Renwick ; J.
Harrington, Keswick, threw J. Ivison, Carlisle; J. Long-
mire, Troutbeck, threw Roper, Lanonby ; J. Batey,
Tarnrigg Moor, threw A. Park, Cockermouth. Fifth
round—W. Jackson threw J. Batey ; J. Longmire threw
J. Harrington ; J. Martin, odd man. Sixth round—
Jackson threw Martin. Final-Ist fall, Jackson threw
Longmire; 2nd fall, Longmire threw Jackson ; 3rd fall,
Jackson threw Longmire, and won the prize.

BIRDS.—In order to induce birds to hatch their eggs,
they should be kept in a cage. open only on one side.
Plaeeci very high, and within reach of plenty of air and
light. They must not be often looked at, for they will then
cease to ail, and the eggs become chilled. When they
collect every particle cf down or straw which accident
places within their cages, they desire to lay their eggs,
and materials for a nest should be given to them. To this
sufficient fond for two or three days should be added, that
they way be disturbed as little as possible.
