ELEPHANT HUNTING.

The following curious account of an elephant
is related in the amusing " Memoirs of John
Shipp, late Lieut. in 87th regiment :"—ln the
year 1804, when we were in pursuit of Hoolkah,
there was in our encampment a large elephant,
used for the purpose of carrying tents for some
of the European corps. It was the season in
which they become most unmanageable, and his
legs were consequently loaded with huge chains,
and he was constantly watched by his keepers.'
By day he was pretty passive, save when he saw
one of his species, when he roared, and became
violent, and during those moments of ungovern-
able phrenzy it was dangerous for his keepers to
approach him, or to irritate his feelings by any
epithets that might prove repugnant to him.—
On the contrary, every endearing expression was
used to soothe and appease him, which, with
promises of sweetmeats, sometimes succeeded
with the most turbulent to gain them to obedi-
ence, when coercive measures would have roused
them to the most desperate acts of violence. By
night, their extreme cunning told them that their
keepers were not so watchful or vigilant. The
elephant here alluded to, one dark night broke
from his chains, and ran wild through the en-
campment, driving men, women, children, camels,
horses, cows, and indeed every thing that could
move, before him, and roaring and trumpeting
with his trunk, which is with elephants a sure
sign of displeasure, and that their usual docility
has deserted them. Of course no reasonable
beings disputed the road he chose to take : those
that did soon found themselves floored. To re-
cord the mischief done by this infuriated animal,
in his nocturnal ramble, would fill a much greater
space than I can afford for such matter. Suffice it
that,in his flight,followed by swordsmen and spears-
men, shouting and screaming, he pulleddown tents,
upset every thing that impeded his way, wounded
and injured many, and ultimately killed his
keeper by a blow from his trunk. He was
speared in some twenty places, which only in-
furiated him the more, and he struck away with
his trunk at every thing before him. His roaring
was terrific, and he frequently struck the ground
in indication of his rage. The instant he had
struck his keeper and found he did not rise, lie
suddenly stopped, seemed concerned, looked at
him with the eye of pity, and stood rivetted to
the spot. He paused for some seconds, then
ran towards the place from whence he had broken
loose, and went quietly to his piquet, in front of
which lay an infant, about two years old, the
daughter of the keeper whom lie had killed. The
elephant seized the child round the waist, as
gently as its mother would, lifted it from the
ground, and caressed and fondled it for some
time, every beholder tiembling for its safety and

animal having turned the child round three times
quietly laid it down again, and drew some cloth-
ing over it that had fallen off. After this it stood
over the child with its eyes fixed on it, and if I
did not see the penitential tear start from its eye
I have never seen it in my life. He then sub-
mitted to be re-chained by some other keepers,
stood motionless and dejected, and seemed sen-
sible that he had done a wrong he could not re-
pair. From this moment the animal became
passive and quiet, and always seemed most de-
lighted when the little orphan was within its
sight. Often have I gone with others of the
camp to see him fondling his little ad-opted ; but
there was a visible alteration in his health after
his keeper's death, and he fell away and died at
Cawnpore six months afterwards : people well
acquainted with the history of the elephant, and
who know the story, did not scruple to say from
fretting for his before favourite keeper."

The Earl of Westmoreland came to town on
Thursday from his seat at Aptlaorp, Northamptonshire,
and left town the following day for Brighton.

A correspondent, who had the curiosity to
count the number of individuals passing into Dr. Monro's
class-room, at var►ous periods •f yesterday, found them to
amount to 68 per minute, or 4080 per hour. Assuming,
what we really believe was the case, that this estimate
would vary little during the whole six hours in which the
doors were open, the total number who saw the body of
the murderer must have been upwards of 24,000.--Edin.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1829.

His MAJESTY holds a Council, this day, at
Windsor Castle, at which the Speech to be de-
livered on Thursday next will be submitted for
his MAJESTY'S approval. Many a longing
eye—many an anxious heart, looks forward with
trembling solicitude to that Speech, to learn if
justice is at length to be done to Ireland. We
trust most sincerely that Ministers have been
awakened to a sense of their duty as well to the
KING as to his people, by recommending a final
settlement of that great—that all-important ques-
tion-.—a question in which, of all others, our
weakness or power, as an united people, is so
much involved.

Upon this subject, the Times of this morning

remarks :

" As the opening of Parliament approaches,
the public expectation becomes more intense
with regard to the mode in which the great
measure of emancipation will be announced by his
MAJESTY'S Ministers. That emancipation will
be proposed to Parliament by the Duke of Wet-
LINGTONin the ensuing Session, we have no more
doubt than of our own existence. When we
pen this brief prediction of an ocearrence whose
consequences will be beneficially felt by English-
men and Irishmen to the remotest generations,
our readers may be assured that on the " corning
event" we do not speak but from conviction."

It is again whispered that an Ambassador
Extraordinary is to be sent from this country to
Constantinople.

Hamburgh Papers of the 27th ult. have been
received. The cold in Russia, and all parts of
Germany, has been very excessive :

BERLIN, JAN. 25.

In the interior of Russia the cold is from 23 deg. to
30 deg. (Resumer), and this winter is reckoned one o:
the most severe.

tdoscovf*.AAN. 1, (18.)

We have received the melancholy news that General
Count Paskewitsch Erivanski is ill of a bad fever, and that
his life is in danger. A courier who has arrived here
from Mount Caucasus says, that on the 29th October
(Nov. 10) the cold in those countries was 14 deg., so
that all the rivers were covered with thick ice in twenty-
four hours, and the courier was able to walk over and
draw his baggage after him on a small sledge.
Here (at Berlin) the cold is very severe, the thermoane
ter being at 24.

CRACOW), JAW. 12.

Within these few days the news has been spread here
that the second Russian grand army, under the command
of Field-Marshal the Count of Osten Sacken, has re-
ceived orders to march to the southern provinces of the
Russian empire.

The Journal of St. Petersburgh of the 17th
ult. is highly indignant at the false reports cir-
culated by the German and other Journals re-
specting the losses sustained during the last
campaign, as well as the state of the Russian
finances. If we may credit the following, both
arc in a prosperous condition. The war has
been successful, and the finances were never
better :

ST. PETERSBUIIGH, JAN. 4.

The malevolence of certain Journals, which take delight
in inventing disasters of all kinds, which the Russian
army is stated to have suffered during the present war, is
not contented with preteaded military events, to the disd-

vantage of that power. This disposition extends to ode
finances, which many of them endeavour to represent in
the most unfavourable light. 7 hey have lately announced,
repeatedly, that a loan of 100 millions had just been openel
at Paris, in the name of Russia, and have even named the
agents to whom the negotiation was entrusted. We feel it
our duty to contradict this news, as wholly false and un'
founded. The moderate sum to which Russia limited ite
last loan in Holland, in September, MS, even reserving
to itself the option to take only a part of it, sufficiently
proves the prosperous state of its finances, and shows 11
neither needs nor intends at this moment to contract fresh

Dana.

Foreign capitalists, however, know what they have to
think on this subject. We learn that Messrs. Hope aot
Co., the negotiators of the above loan, opened the second
series at the beginning of this month at 99, that is on Oil
same terms as those at which the first series was quickll
filled up. This fact is a sufficient answer to the fatsg
statemeets which we have noticed.

TIFLIS, DEC. 24.

Nothing important has passed in the Turkish frontiers
since our last communications. The success of the Russiao
arms in the war against Persia has made an advantageous
impression during the present war on the marauding tribes
who live on this side of the Caucasus:; they are perfectli
quiet, and chew themselves extremely well disposed to-
wards us. On the line of the Caucasus, General Emanuel
has gained fresh advantages over the mountaineers.
We have news from Tauris to the end of November'
On the 24th (0.5.) the Minister of Russia notified to
Abbas Mirsa the taking of Varna, and the happy return
of the Emperor to St. Petersburgh, which news his High'
ness heard with much pleasure. On the 25th the Russian
Minister, the officers of the mission, and the Russian sub•
jects who are at Tauris, most of whom are Armeniauo►
assembled in the Armenian church to return thanks to
Heaven for the brilliant successes of the Russian arms.
This ceremony was ascompanied with the ringing of bells,
which are hardly ever heard in Mahornetan countries. The
Minister afterwards gave a grand dinner, and •in the even-
ing the Georgian caravansary was illuminated.
According to the Oriental custom, the display of fire-
works and firing of muskets continued till late in the night,
and it was curious to see the Russian merchants, several of
whom bad been Janissaries, mingle with the crowd, and
share in the general joy. Next day Abbas Mires, desiring
to show the interest he felt in the glory of our Monarch, in-
vited our Minister and the gentlemen belonging to tbs
Mission to dinner.

This entertainment was succeeded by various rejoicing.
and representations in the Eastern fashion, and the evening
was closed with a brilliant display of fire-works.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
At a late hour this afternoon we have re-

ceived by express the Paris Papers of Saturdays
but their contents do not possess any article of
importance that can be depended on.

Nothing of any consequence took place in the
Chambers of Peers or Deputies.
The Three per Cents. were quoted at 75 1. 45e.

The French Papers state, that the troops
which have arrived from the Morea are not to
be put on the peace establishment as originally
contemplated, but that they are to remain
upon the war-footing, and each battalion
is to complete its full complement. This
we . think judicious, till the situation of
affairs in the East is more confirmed. The
greatest activity prevails in the naval department
of Toulon in equipping vessels of war.
In the French Chamber of Deputies, on
Thursday, the choice of Members in the elec-
tion of President was pretty conclusive as to the
liberal spirit which actuates the great majority of
that body. For the office of President of the Elec-
tive Chamber, five candidates must be presented
to the KING, and those five candidates must
unite in their favour the majority of the suffrages
of the Assembly, his MAJESTY generally
choosing the candidate at the head of the list.
On the present occasion the five candidates were
M. ROYER-COLLARD, M. CASSIMIR PER'
RIER, M. DE BERBIs, Gen. SEBASTIAN!, and
M. DE LA LOT, all members of the Liberal party,
or of the Ultras, who last year united with the
Liberals to resist the return, or to punish the
delinquencies of the preceding Administration.
The first of these members obtained 175 votes,
the second 155, the third 146, the fourth 145,
the fifth 132. The candidates of the opposite
party lag far behind, M. RAATEz, the former
President, who is at the head of the list, not ob-
taining more than 90 votes. M. BOYER-CoL"
LA RD may, therefore, not only consider himself
as elected President, but may coneeive himself
surrounded by an assembly, the great majority of
which share his constitutional opinions.

German and Dutch Papers have been received,
but they contain nothing new. A paragraphs
from Bucharest, denies that the Turks have
passed the Danube :

ROITERDAW, JAN. tl3.
His Majesty's frigate Rupel is to be ready far sea hi
the Ist February, to go to the East Indies. It will be
commanded by Captain Tiernan and take en board M.
Van den Bosch, the Goyerner General.

BUCKAftIST, JAI. 5.

Nothing new has occurred since the last Mail, and not-
withstanding the revert of the Turks having lately ap-
peared near Tournul, no fear is felt here of a general pair-
ing of the Danube. Russian officers lately arrived say that
immense preparations are making in Russia for the open-
ing of the csmpaign. The typhus has abated in conse-
quence of the severe cold.

Demerara Gazettes, to the 12th of December
inclusive, have been received this morning, but
their contents are quite uninteresting, the Papers
being chiefly filled with extracts from the English
Journals.

We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to
the 13th ult. It is with sincere gratification
we give the principal contents of a proclamation
of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Garrison and
territory of Gibraltar, General DON, dated the
12th January, 1829, in which his Excellency
expresses his satisfaction in announcing the ter-
mination of the epidemic fever which has afflicted
the community, anti feels it the first duty of every
one to manifest his humble gratitude to the
ALMIGHTY for his beneficent interposition.
For this purpose he appoints all places of public
worship to be opened on Friday, the 16th Jan.,
and that the day be set apart as one of solemn
thanksgiving. His Excellency also orders that
all internal measures of quarantine shall cease on

the 16th; that the Courts of Justice, and all places ' SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

At a Meeting of the Catholic Association held
on Thursday last at Dublin, Mr. O'Connell announced the
receipt of 295/. 9s. 5d., from the State of New York
alone. He took the opportunity of passing many deserved
encomiums on the spirit of liberality of the Americans. lie
also announced his intention of setting out for Loudon on
Friday, Feb. 6.

This day's supply of Beasts, Calves, and Porkers, was
very limited for the time of year ; of Sheep moderately
good. Beef and Pork, on account of the shortness of the
supply, and favourable state of the weather for slaughter-

of from 2d. to 4d. per acme ; Mutton and Veal at about

At a Meeting of the Corporation held on
Friday last at Dublin, it was resolved to grant a sum of
5001. towards defraying the expences of a public dinner
to be given to the Duke of Northumberland on his arrival.
The resolution was barely carried by a meagre majority.
In the course of the discussion, Sir E. Stanley, who pro-
posed the grant, observed, that at the Coronation of the
King of France, the Duke spent 140,0001. in six weeks at
Paris, and 53,000/. in three weeks at Rheims.
SILK TRADE IN STAFFORDSHIRE.—We
are sorry to learn that the silk trade, so far as it is carried
on in this county, is in a very depressed state. Several
mills are entirely closed, and in others the daily or weekly
time of working, as well as the number of hands, have
undergone a considerable reduction. —lllizecle tfield Courier

COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE MARKET—Jan, 31.

The late frost having stopped the foreign arrivals, and
our farmers bringing us in moderate supplies of Wheat,
sales were more ready to-day at about Is. per quarter ad-
vance for the best samples. Of Oats the country supply
was large : the finest qualities met a ready sale at a trifle
lower; but the inferior samples were extremely dull, at a
decline of 2s. per quarter. Much of the Foreign Barley
proving of good malting quality, has caused a better de-
mand for our own produce, and sales have been more ready
this week, but with little improvement on late prices.
Malt very dull. Only the finest Rye at all saleable. No-
thing doing in Beans or Pease.

GROUSE SHOoTING.--On Saturday last, a
msn named Joseph Warhurst was fined before S. P.
Humphreys, Esq. in the mitigated penalty of 10/. for
having killed a red grouse on the moors belonging to
Admiral Tollemache, in Tintwistle, on the 3(1 inst., bring
after the time limited by the Act. —Maerlesfeld Courier.

During the whole of the week before last, an

We understand that the severity of the late
storm was so considerable on the Kelso road, that the
Wellington Coach going to Newcastle, was stopped on
Soutra Hill on Monday last, and neither the Dunse nor
the Kelso coaches reached lidinbum gim either on that day
or Tuesday.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.
RAIN AND SNow.—The old Joe Miller
jest of the shepherd boy who was asked by a traveller
whether it always rained in Scotland, replied—" Na, Sir,
it sometimes snaws,"—has been partly verified this season
at Islay in Argyleshire. Up to the 10th instant theme had
been constant rain in the Islands for above two months,
which has now given place to frost and snow.

Since the last fishing season, there have been
22 cargoes, containing 12,653 hogsheads of pilchards ex-
ported from St. Ives ; besides about 1000 hogsheads sent
over land to be exported from Penzance, and nearly 2000
hogsheads sold fresh to persons in the neighbourhood, mak-
ing in the whole upwards of 14,500 hogsheads taken by
the St. Ives fishermen; a greater quantity than was ever
before taken there in one season.—Cornwall Gazette.

On Monday morning, the 19th inst., a youth
about sixteen years of age, named Brown, belonging to
North Shields, went out, as he said, to amuse himself on
the ice ; but not returning, his parents became greatly dis-
tressed, supposing lie was drowned. On Thursday a letter
was received from Berwick, wherein he confesses his mo-
tive for going away was to see the murderer Burke hanged.
It is imagined this strong desire originated from a supposi-
tion that Burke is the person who attempted, about two
years ago, to steal the body of his sister, whilst lying a
corpse, but was frustrated.—Tyne Mercury.

A marriage lately took place in a village not
far from this city, under what is considered rather singular
circumstances. The bride and bridegroom were pretty
far advanced in life; and their marriage banns had been
previously proclaimed about 30 years ago; but the friends
of the bride unhappily at that time interfered, and the
marriage was stopped. Things remained in this state a
considerable time, till at last one of the party got married ;
and the other was not long in taking the hint, and " doing
likewise." After a number of years had passed away, the
former bridegroom became a widower, and the former bride
a widew. As time had not been able to extinguish their
affection for each other, and as there were now no parents
to interfere, and again retard the solemn ceremony, it was
at once agreed that they should be united firm and fast is
the holy bands of wedlock, which ceremony was gone
through a few week, ago with all due form.— Glasgow

OPENING OF THE OPERA-HOUSE.

" LA DONNA DEL LAGO."

The musk-loving portion of the community enjoyed a
richer feast upon this occasion than years of its previous
records can furnish, in the way of vocal perfection. PISA-
RONI is avowedly the most accomplished mezzo soprano
that ever trod the boards of this splendid theatre. The
singular bursts of enthusiastic admiration which she drew
from her delighted aoditocy, upon her first appearance
on Saturday night, were such as to convince the heart
and judgment that she is decidedly the greatest artiste
of the day ; and, when it is considered that no adventitious
aids, in the way of personal attractions, lead the mind to
form an estimate of her professional qualifications, through
the medium of exterior beauty (a circumstance, most per-
sons will admit, that is more or less favourable to the vo-
calist happy enough to be in possession of them), we
are lost in astonishment at the sensations her energetic
display, both in her singing and acting, creates in the
mind of the beholder. We say beholder—fur, in spite
of a very diminutive person, and of an unprepossessing
countenance, her earnestness (which, at times, is as ter-
rible as that of the late JOHN KEMPLE, or KEAN, in his
best day), carries her auditors' feelings along with it.—
In tenderness, too, she is equally perfection ! some mor-
ceaus of her declamation, upon Saturday night, and of her
appeals to the softer emotions of the mind, were absolutely
electrical. Ere long, we shall devote a few observations
to the peculiar manner, as well as beauties of the stile
she so felicitously embodies, combining, as it does, the
most satisfying enunciation, united to a clear, decided, and
most masterly comprehension of her author's meaning.
Mademoiselle MONTICELLI is, as we before remarked, a
pretty woman, end more than a pretty singer ; she in-
dicated much talent, and very considerable judgment, in
her personation of the heroine, Ellen. But the next re-
markable feature of the performance was the Signor
DONL:ELLI ; his vocal organ is of the most magnificent
kind that we suppose tenor singer ever yet exhibited. Of
prodigious power—yet, with that power, possessing qua-
lity, flexibility, and the most minutely perfect intona-
tion. But what even is the possession of so many
enviable qualities, were they not supported and chas-
tened by the judgment ? which Signor DONZELLI appears
to be no less remarkable for. His opening scena afforded
ample proofs of this rare combination, for we were utterly
at a loss to determine which of the passions he most ex-
celled in. He was loudly and rapturously encored, as well
as PISARONI, not only in the several arias, but in the
morceaus ensemble; and at the conclusion of the opera the
three debutantes were loudly called for, and were ulti-
mately led on the stage by CurtioNt, to receive the
reiterated acclamations of sincere and grateful applause
from an auditory, in a large degree professional, and com-
posed of numerous well-known cognoscenti. CERIONI
was received, upon his entree, with much applause, and he
acquitted himself with his usual judgment, although
labouring against a little cold. The Ballet "La Som •
nambule," which is highly popular in Paris, was produced
upon this occasion ; and, though of greater duration than
we are inclined to admire, never flagged one moment i❑
interest, from the commencement to its close. COULON is a
most delicious artiste; and our young friend Num NE
LEROUX returns to us three years' riper in years, and at
least fifty in judgment and talent. The music of this
charming Ballet is above the common order,—very gay,
and at times admirably expressive of the passing events of
the interesting tale it materially assists to tell. It is
interspersed with solos, in alternation and combine-
tion : as clarionet (which was beautifully given by Mr.
WILLIAMS, WILLMAN'S successor), Mons. TOLBECQ on the
violin, and a violoncello, solo, by a gentleman whose
name we are sorry that we cannot now record having
forgotten it; but, as we have touched upon certain in-
dividuals who gave token of great talent upon their se-
veral instruments, we must be excused for extending our
observation towards the orchestra generally, more espe-
cially as it appears to have been the general
theme of discussion in the musical world. The
facts are simple, and susceptible of brief disclosure.—
Certain talented individuals of the late seasons orchestra,
are so overwhelmed with professional engagements at one
period of the season, as to render a full attendance at the
necessary rehearsals of the operas on their parts absolutely
impossible. The present lessee, Mr. LAPORTE, fancies
that the mere rapid production of novelty is indispensible
to the greater gratification of the public, as also more pro-
ductive to his own interests. He therefore stipulates for
such and such terms with the future members of his or-
chestra, which are rejected with scorn, and some in-
dignation ! The first feeling every man is as much at
liberty to make use of as Mr. LAPORTE is to extend his offers.
But even-handed justice is at open war with the latter
feeling, when it is supposed to lead to efforts approxi-
mating to violent coercion. An attempt was made upon
Saturday night, as soon as the orchestra commenced the
opera, to stifle its efforts by a row. When, however, it
was heard, it gave convincing proof that it was fully com-
petent to perform the arduous task allotted to it upon this
occasion ; thus affording another memorable fact,
that the frequent collision of the members of a
numerous orchestra is often (nay most frequently),
more essential to complete and good effect, than its being
in possession of great names, whose numerous engagements
elsewhere absolutely forbid the indispensable attendance
requisite for the perfect illustration of a complicated Opera.
We have no hesitation in declaring, that it never was given
so smoothly, or with more decided effect, and strict atten-
tion to the " ensemble," than upon the present occasion.
In this opinion we are supported by those whose judgments,
being free from controversial bias, we are yet more in-
clined to respect. The rehearsals (we before remarked)
had been frequent, and of long duration—and, the final
results of the musical director's tact in these matters
is now too well known to require our commendation ;
awl facts speak sufficiently for themselves—the talented
sod energetic Motu led the Band, in SPAGNOLETTI'S
absence,—he appeared to have embibed all the minutest
intentions of Rossttil'S clever opera, and by his undeviating
attention to the " chiera oscura" of the picture, was en-
abled to produce several beautiful effects, quite new to us—
amongst the principals we were pleased to recognize several
old friends, foremost in the list, the inimitable DRAGO•
NETT', himself a host.

very great. A prodirjc,v,a crowd. collected at an early hour
in the foreno,n, and besieged the class-roam door, eager
to zair-1 admission, and it was with difficulty the regular
students could obtain access although a strong party of
police was present to preserve order. The lecture was
very long ; and about two o'clock the crowd outside ma-
nifested signs of impatience at the delay, and proceeded to
evince their disapprobation by throwing stones and t,n.-.avy-
balls at the police. Not satisfied with this di;pay of in-
dignation, they next dircctcd their venf4.e:ince against the
windows of that quarter of thu CVilege in which the lec-
