the bear's attack, and that 'ancient caution had not been
used in placing it in a place of security." They also recom-
mended that the other bears at Gosport should be muzzled ;
it would have been a great deal better if they hod recom-
mended them to ho shot, for whenever they are paraded
through the public thoroughfares, they naturally incite
great alarm in the minds of the majority of pass-by,

New CE3fETERY FOR MARTLEBONE.-013 Satur-
day the burial board of the parish of Marylebone reported
to the vestry in flavour of purchasing twenty-seven acres
of land at Finehley fora cemetery. The estate is called
Newmarket Farm, and is situated at East End, Finchley,
shout four miles from the northern boundary of the parish
of Marylebone. The purchase money is 5,2001., thus under
2001. per acre. The situation is of convenient access from
the parish ; it is off the main road, but approached by a
good read leading from it. There is a cottage upon the
land, of the value of about 401. per annum, which,
with the timber upon the ground, is Included in the pur-
chase. The .and tax amounts to W. Is. 6d., and the tithe
rent chugs tolls. Ild. per annum. The soil is of a light
loamy clay, and the ground affords great facilities f^r
drainage. Lord Palmerstos.hu approved the ►ite upon the
report ef Dr. Sutherland, and the vestry will have next
Saturday to annul or ratify the bargain.
THE CZAR AND THR EMPEROR OF CRINA.—A I
letter from St. Petersburg of April 25, mentioned en the
Paine, of Paris, says :—" There is much talk in the best
informed circles of a secret mission of a ltu!sian envoy,
sent to Chios overland, and who it is said, has already ar-
rived at Kiatha, a town belonging jointly to the two
pvernments. It is confidently reported that the object is;
hies mission is to offer to the sovereign of the Celestial Em•
pipe the aid of Russia for the purpose of quelling the in-
surrection in his dominions."
REPCSLIC oP ECCADOR.—Tho latest letters from
Ecuador, received by the Consul-General of the govern-
ment, at Pei', confirm the news that perfect tranquillity
prevailed in all parts of the republic. There was no goes-
ton whatever of a new invasion being attempted by °cite-
ral Flores. He was still at Chili, on the estate where he
had taken up his residence. Even if he should succeed in
organising some means of attack, there was every reason to
believe that his new expedition would have the same result
as the first one.

Bey, whose health bad ssmewhat improved, hu bed a slight
nkfore. It is nevertht 1:u hoped that ho will be able to
carry out his proposed plan of coming to Europe, is order
