AN OFFICER MILLED BY A TI6E&

We regret to have to record the occurrence of a
most melancholy accident that has occurred near Neemuch,
in the death of Liwtenant Charles Newel Grant, of the 2nd
European Light Infantry. An officer, writing to us from
Neemuch, under date the 26th March, says :—" A party of
officers, viz., Captain Baumgartner, young H of the
2nd, Crawford, of the 13th N.L. and poor Grant, proceeded
on a shooting expedition to Ruttunghur? 30 mike off. The
first day they obtained khubbur of a tiger, which was shot
without any accident happening. (in Saturday forenoon they
were again Warned of the presence of a very large tiger
some five miles from their camp, to which spot they
proceeded, and coming up with the tiger each gave him a
couple of barrels, wounding him very severely. The beast
then made off for some short jungle, and after beating for
him they found the brute again about four or five in the
evening, when some shots were fired and he was again hit.
He then turned to the right, where poor Grant was in ad•
vance of all, and on seeing him fired at him ; the brute then
seized him, the beaters bolted, and the tiger commenced
to bite and claw pair Grant fearfully, carrying him
off to some distance. The other oaken were only
aware of the occurrence by bearing Giant cry out
to Baumgartner to come and kill the brute. The latter in
the most plucky and brave manner ran to the spot, and
found the tiger on the top of Grant crunching his arm.
Baumgartner had only one barrel loaded (his shilcaree had
also bolted with hie rifle) ; but like a fine fellow AS he is. I
he went close up. and placing the muzzle just behind the
animal's shoulder, fired, sod seeing that even than
the tiger would not relax his hold, drew his revolver
and tired the five barrels into its head. Henisted then
eune up and fired two shots into the savage beast's
head, when it died ; but before poor Grant could be
extricated the brute's jaws had actually to be fovced open.
Poor Grant was than removed in a dooly into Neemuch,
but itaavoidably some tweaty odd hours elapsed before his
wands could be dressed, owing to the distance he had to be
esnied. Oa reaching Neemuch Loden Arnott and Wright
were immediately in attendance, and did all that human
skill could, but the pour fellow breathed his last on
Tuesday afternoon, the 25th instant. The tiger was of
the Lived size, measuring twelve feet in length."—Poona

A letter from Athens says :—" At the recent
fete on the anniversary of the Greek Revolution, a tranapa•
rency was exhibited representing seven girls with chains
on their hands and feet. The English Consul, thinking
that the figures contained an allusion to the lonian Isles,
demanded the removal of the painting ; but the authorities
declared that no allusion was intended to those islands,
which are under a constitutional regime, but to the seven
Greek provinces, which are groaning under Turkish.domina-
ties."

A letter from Toulon says :—" The civil war
which seems on the point of breaking out between the dis-
united State. of America is shout to open for the French
arsenals a market for exportation which certainly was not
foreseen. It was stated that American agents have come
to France to purchase arms and military equipment.,
which the storehouses of the state will be only too glad to
get rid of."

It is reported that Garibaldi's stay in Caprera
will be very short. He is expected at Turin in a few days
to meet Kossuth, and the assertion that he will he present
in the Chamber at the debate on the national armaments
is persisted in.

A Turin letter of May 3 nays that at a very late
hour on Thursday night the Hungarian refugees, on the
receipt of r telegram, held a special meeting, which lasted
three hours, and that the next morning several Hungarian
officers of rank left for the head-quarters of the Hungarian
Legion in Southern Italy.

Father Gavazzi has just published at Naples a
pamphlet, entitled "Bares tette d'ltalts," being a reply to
one by td,Maasiimi d'Areglio on the came subject.

The Regno d'halia announces that the Neapo-
litan clergy are signing a petition to the Pope, praying him
not to persist in the fatal path in which his government is
engaged, and to renounce his temporal power.

The Tuscan Monitore announces that the Emperor
of the French has sent the public library of Onnesto, which
has just been opened, a copy of his works elegantly and
richly bound.

His Excellency Mr. Faulkner, the American
minister at Paris, and his Excellency Mr. Dallas, the Ame-
rican minister at London, will return to America towards
the end of the present month.

" The differeum which hasarisen," says GaZignani,
"between the French proleeteuits end IL Ginza on
account of his laoguage in favour of the temporal power of
the Pope, seems to be assumiog a wider range. Now that
the first general astouishreent excited by M. Ouleot's wards
has somewhat subsided, individual act. of displeasure begin
to show them elves, which will probably end in Went IL
Guisot to reaps the post be holds as president of the two
