A Bean ST MlN.—The following extritrilinet7
atom has been sent its, dated Berne, March - -"An Eeagtls
getitleinius, Captain I. - . of the British army, met his
death here last eight is a meet dreadful moiner. Captain
L -, after supping with mete friends, took • walk through
the city le company with three other Enelielinsen. A. the
beer pit lay in their way, the party went formations to look
at the bean. This pit was separated into two con,parttneata,
in on: of whiela was a he•laer, nod in the other the ie.
male and several cubs. White, healing over the nibs^
*Aching the &omelet. Captain 1. -- overbalanced himself,
-1,4 fell over into that part of the pit in which the old hear
v..• confined, brooking his arm in the fall. (lee hour
flamed before arc assistance was obtained and brought to
the spa. Effort, were then mole 4, eftricate the unfortu-
Sate nun from his perilous position by means of hoisting
him up with ropes. It is remarkable that lip to this time the
oblbtsir, although the most savage of the family, and them.
Im placed to a mparlite ivenfortrnent, had not attempted
f. injure the y.mni.: man. But this state of things was not
S. Iwo king. At the moment when he was being hoisted
isa of the pit and load reached half way up, the hear
be am.. savage awl tore him ,lows into the pit again. A
horrible struggle then ensued, which after nearly half an
foon's duration resulted in Captain L—'s being killed by
fvrocious beast. Om of the party of Englishmen would
Lnv jumped into the pit to his friend's aid had he not been
lily restrained by the bystanders. Great indignation
.svtpressed by the iohabitaets of Berne that no aid came
bum hefprirter whence it ought to have been rendered
"ol at the nsk of life. A sentinel was reread at shout
body mices from the pit, and I understand that • searching
''''"flotiou has Wee instituted into tine man's conduct.
