ARRIVAL OF A FOREIGN DIGNITARY.—AII ele-
phant of unusual size has been imported in the Monarch,
which arrived in the East India Docks on Saturday last. It
is one of four which were purchased for the Royal Surrey
Zoological Gardens; the other three died on the passage.

establishment, making three elephants which are now in the
gardens. We cannot help a
nagement, not possessing passing remark on the liberality
which characterises the conduct of the
orproprietor in his ma-

a portion of their influence on an establishment equally cal.-
culated with that in the Regent's Park to inform and s=uss
