• TO THE EDITOR,.
Stn—Thore having appeared in one of the
morning papers a very erroneous statement that Tapproprlated
the flesh of the elephant to the feeding of the different animals
in my, menagerie, I shall deeply feel the obligation Wpm will
state in your valuable paper, that so far from that being the
truth, I actually had a quantity of meat, which came from
Newgate•market, destroyed, in consequence of its having been
some hours in the room where the carcass of the immense beast
was, from a fear that it might have been impregnated with
the effluvia which arose from such a mass of flesh.
I remain your obliged obedient servant,
