A MAN WHO LAT DOWN WITH ELEPHANTS.—On Thurs-
day night, at a late hour, two of the Manchester police,
in passing through Knott-mill, where the Easter fair had
been holding, heard a cry of murder from one of the ca-
ravans in Edmond's (late Wombwell's) travelling mena-
gerie. This was after the close of the performances,
and they had to rouse up Mr. and Mrs. Edmonds from
their bed to investigate the cause of this alarm. On
reaching the caravan whence the cries had been heard,
the keeper of the elephants. Samuel Harrison, was found
in the cage of the two performing elephants (cow and
calf) in an almost insensible state from injuries and ex-
haustion. He was carried to the Royal Infirmary, where
it was found that two of his ribs had been broken. It was
at first supposed that the beasts bad attacked him in
some sudden fit of viciousness, but he has since stated
that having been locked out of his lodgings he went to
sleep in the caravan, and lay down in the straw of the
cage where he was found. The old elephant subse-
quently lay down with its ponderous weight upon him,
accidentally, and thus crushed his ribs, so that he heard
them crack, and cried out "murder," being unable to
extricate himself.
NEW ROUTE TO THE CONTINENT. —We understand
that the Eastern Counties Rai' way Company are making
arrangements f,r a very efficient steam-packet service
between the ports of Harwich and Antwerp this season,
the operations of last year having satisfied them of the
capabilities of the station for carrying on a continental
traffic. It is intended to put on two first-class passenger
boats, which have been built expressly for the Noith Sea

. _
trade, and to confine the service for the present to passenger
traffic. The advantages which the harbour of Harwich pre-
sents for the embarkation of passengers for the Belgian,
Dutch, and Northern ports well known before the days
of railways and steam-packets, and it was at that time
more used by the Government and travellers to and
from the Continent than any other English port on the
east coast ; but as steam annihilated space, and Har-
wich became isolated from the railway world, while its
competitors possessed all the advantages which that
mighty element conferred on society, so gradually she
faded until the town became almost deserted, and its
fine natural harbour remained with scarcely sufficient
shipping business to entitle it to the rank of a mercantile
port. At length, however, our railway engineers have
completed for Harwich that from the want of which it
has so seriously suffered. A glance at the maps of England
and Europe will now show the system of railways
has altered circumstances, and how advantageous a route
to the Continent may be arranged from all parts of Eng-
land, and particularly from the Midland and Northern
Counties, through Peterborough, Cambridge, Ipswich,
and Harwich. Among other advantages attendant upon
the route via Harwich may be mentioned the following
—A short sea passage, a saving of about ten hours, a
harbour on each coast accessible at all times of tide,
railway communication direct to and from the ship's
side at -Harwich, and the facility of always embarking
and landing in smooth water and on to rfirma, with-
out having recourse to small boats.
