Innumerable hares and partridges started up nn every side of us.

However, we fol. lowed her up to the thicket, in which eke had taken shelter, and put the elephant's head tight into it, when we }hid the faliffitetion to hear her growling close to us. Just as we were vipectiog her charge ere! y on:alto, and hail prepared our muskets ready to :isittt at her, round wheeled the elephant and beearne perfectly unmanageable. During the scuffle between the elephant and the Mahout we heard the cry, that the limu:ss was again raniilllg down the bank, and a gun went nit She aguos eroswil the Nulla, and we saw the partridges Fleet up from a thicket into which she had pene trated. Jost as we got our elephant to go well in she ran bark spin, and couched under a thicket, oo our left hand bank, near to which she had origi nally been started. All this happened in the space of a short minute. Fraser then called to kis to l•nine routed the hush, as the hostess bring in a fosse between him and or. we hindered him from fit itr. Just as we got out of his reach lie fired, mod as 'mop as our elephant slopped I did the eanie ; berth ohms took effect, for the poor Loners stirred nut trom the pool, loot lay and growled in rather a met tnellosi or follow tune titan that of a tiger. All our guns were loaded with slugs. end after it few dweller:4e*, poor lioness tried to sally front her covet% anti relied over and over into the bed of the calud below. Her loins were evidently all cut to pieces. and her bind party trailed after her. Thu. was lucky fur us, as her fore pints appestrel to be strong and unhurt. She reared herself upon her fore legs, and cast towards us a look that hespske revenge, complaint. and nity, which I thongist to be quite alleeting; per haps, lowers, r, it was the old prejudice in favour of limos, that made me roo f this, as well's the there was an infinite degree of timit and dignity in her attitude; her head, half averted Rom no, was turn. ed back, as if ready to stint at us, if the wounds in her funs had not disabled her. As it was now mer. cy to tire, aid put an end to her aufferitig., I took a steady urns, and shot her right through the head ; she fell deed at once, stud it was found, on going up to her, that the ball had Completely carried away her lower jaw. tier body was dragged op the batik, and Fraser pronounced her to be not two yeats old.

Wilder, seeing the imminent danger of the moment, fired at the Houma, and grazed her side. Sloe immediately- left her hold, ran hack into the jungle, and acres, the canal, where we tiost pert.• lied her. This grand sight we lost by being stivioned is the bed below ; it was said to have loren veoy fine; bat th en we had, in- Vert] of it, revere' clews of this noble snimil, in full rigour; and with the sight or an hyena, which also ran across the Null*. " We then proceeded on the rood to Panntiput, on our elephants, five miles to which is a pretty village. Here I got into my palunkeen; Wilder returned to Dehlee; and William Fraser and Mr. Barton mounted their horses. and rod(' On es hard OR they could. I changed bearers of Seerhana, melee miles, and arrived as P:tnnitpiit, eleven fur ther, at midnight. The Gentlemen had arrived there alma sun-set. After a link bit of din ner. I was glad to go to bed. Next day the gentlemen told me they had crossed again Firose's corral, which appeared very tigerish ; but that part of it, near Pasinuptit, was the finest cons country they ever saw, and doubly delightful after the fatiguing and dreary wastes we have been in for the last !ix days. Penni/put plains were, in 17G1 (1174 of the Hegira}, the scene of one of she greatest battles ever fought between the united Mmselrnan powers of India and the Mahrattee. in which the latter were defeated; fifty thousand Mishrattas are said to have been killed. and the battle lasted three dace. No traces of the field of attle are left. the whole plain being its the highest state of cilltiviition. It is a beautiful scene, .cal. tered with fine trees, awl the fort (a common brick one) and town highly picturesque.

There was an Order issued bus lately by the Mu forbiddi,l4 arms to be worn by Aiabs who come into the ciry from without, and so much was his audio:Ay. respected, thst Ilia eh.. sr rvance of this prohibition was very general. Some persons were found, however, by the (inventor auk his !lave. during their evening rambles, who had disregarded the instulate, and the nett day they were taken first to the Jisser sl Meld', or the Bridge of Salt, near the British Factory, where they were exposed to public view, by having their ears nailed to a post for several hours; they were next taken before the l'olace in the corn-market, and received 'several hundred stroke. of the basti nado en the soles of the fret; alter which, they had their beards and mustachios shaved off. end were ultimately turned out of the city and forbidden ever to enter its walls again.
