S'urrty Gardens, e:q,ired, after a comparatively short
floss. Yesterday the body was opened and carefully
examined in the presence of several medical and scientific
gentlemen, by Mr. Spooner, and the cause of death was
evidently an inflammation and disease of the lungs. It
appears that the last long and severe wintej !Ins seriously
affected the constitution of these animals as it has the;{' of human beings, and the consequence to Mr. Tyler has
been very serious. Within the last ten days be lost a
lion, for which he had been offered 300 guineas, and a
short time ago he could have got 700 guineas for the
elephant whose death is above recorded.
Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India

William Joseph Eastwick.
