It is vrry singular, that Lord WILLINGTOW and
MAsIENA have iii their Waggon Trains eight CASL

The Elephant and Rhinoceros have ever been
considered in all ages as the most inveterate ene-
mies of each other ; however that may be (in a wild
state), certain it is, the celebrated S. Potful, at
un enormous expense, has procured both animals ;
and they are exhibited io the same apartment at
Exeter 'Change, without either sheering the least
sytnptom of anger. indeed, his exertions have been
unremitting in procuring almost every species of
birds and beasts worthy of notice, from every part
of the habitable world ; rendering his selection of
animated nature both varied and interesting ; afford-
otii the most ample gratification to every beholder:
we know not which most to admire, the sagacity of
the hnge Elephant ; the formidable appearance of
the Rhinoceros, with his co-t of marl; the majesty
of the Lions, the grandeur of the Royal Tigers,
Leopards. and Panthers ; or the beauty and eta-
price el the Zebra ; indeed, such a combination of
ritritieo were never known since the days of the mt.
