This fight, as long as it lasted, was creditable to both
men, and was one of the busiest and most determined
we have witnessed for some time, The punishment was
pretty much on a par, but, it any thing, Barney received

LUCKNOW.—On the 25th of September his
Majesty witnessed an elephant fight. Eight of
these noble animals were engaged in the tremend-
ous conflict, and one of them, Baz-baliader, opt
receiving a furious concussion from his antago-
nist, fell down dead on the spot. In the even-
ing there was a grand display of fire-works, at
which the Princes and all the Nobles of the
Court were present.
Sentence of death had beep passed upon
Ahmed Alli, for the murder of Imam Buksh, a
Khidmutgar, in the service of Arrieer Mirza.
The punishment to be carried into effect was
first proclaimed through the city,. and then the
felon was conveyed to a spot immediately in
front of the dwelling of the mother of the mur-
dered man, where the executioner, with a sword,
severed his head from his body.
MADRAS.—We understand that a murder
was committed on Sunday last, at a place called
Washerman's Pettah, of a very atrocious nature ;
and what adds to its enormity is, that the
offender and one of the sufferers were united by
marriage, and stood in the situation of father
and son. Long-stifled feelings of revenge ap-
pear to have led to this melancholy event. The-
individual charged with committing the offence,
we are told, is a Sepoy, and the victims of his
rage his son-in-law, and a young man, the
brother of his son-in-law's friend. The parti-
culars which led to this catastrophe, as far as we
can learn, were some family disputes, during the
existence of which the old man received some
bad treatment from the two friends; they beat
him. Continually brooding over this insult at
last determined him on revenge. His daughter,
some time after, and when she supposed all angry
feelings had subsided, paid hint a visit, and
passed a few days at his house ; the son-in-law
was also introduced to visit him, preparatory to
his wife's returning, and, while reposing under
a tree after dinner, was shot by the old man,
and instantly expired, the ball having passed
through his heart. Not satisfied with this, he pro-
ceeded to the house of his victim's friend, where
he perpetrated the second murder, not on the indi-
vidual designed, but his brother, by whom he
had been informed that the person he sought
was not at home. Such are the particulars
which have come to our knowledge. We have
not heard what time elapsed between the ill
treatment the old man received and the murder,
but, whether short or long, a degree of revenge
seems to have possessed the old man, which
neither time nor any other circumstance was suf-
ficient to remove. The inquest terminated its
labours on Thursday by. returning a verdict of
Wilful murder" against the old man, and he
was immediately committed by the Coroner, to
take his trial at the next Session.—Gazette,
Dec. 13.

We have heard that, in November last, a
Brahmana astrologer, named Vireswara Vidya-
bigisa, having acquired some money in Calcutta,
wished to go home. He therefore went to the
market Surer Bazar, where perceiving a boat
with three persons, two of whom seemed to he
servants, and the third their master, the Brahmana
called the boatman, who appearing, he asked him
if he would take him on board his boat, for
which he promised to give him something. The
boatmen said in answer that he could ?lot con-
sent to his offer, unless he received his master's
permission. He then immediately retired, and
in the course of a few minutes, returned to the
Brahmana, and informed him that he had ob-
tained his master's permission, and took him on
board his boat, upon condition that he should
be paid four anas. They proceeded through
Vaidavati, and arrived after midnight at a plain
called Chamdani, where the people on board the
boat, who were so many robbers, threw off their
mask, and openly demanded of the Brahmana to
deliver up to them whatever money he had
with him, or else they would put him to death,and throw his body into the river. Upon this
the Brahmana began to call for aid ; but these

A few days since, as some men were convey-
ing a large package of very valuable plate glass, weighing
three cwt., to the Customhouse at Newhaven, which had
been previously landed from a vessel in the harbour, it ac-
cidentally slipped Vont their grasp, and the glass s: as
smashed to atoms.

EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY.—There is now
living in Liverpool, a woman in her 103 d year; but the
most remarkable circumstance is, that she has serving
his Majesty at the same time, nine sons in the army, two
sons in the navy, and two sons-in-law in the arinv,
Eleven sons have fallen in various actions

ANOTHER DEFALTI:ria IN THE CITY.—
The sudden disappear
'...oce of an eminent stock-broker has
caused consider-_
..;ie excitement amongst his immediate con-
nnig"", and in the City generally. He had been for some
time cairving on a respectable and improving brokerage
business in Copthall-court, City (his private resuleure
being in the neighbourhood of Hyde-park), and was re-
markable for his unpretending style of living and punctual
attendance to business. The spirit of gambling, holiever,
urged him to venture deeply in speculating on. Owe Stock
Exchange, and a total want of success in all l'as transac-
tions led him, in order to cover his losses, to resort to the
line of conduct that has exiled him froin his home and
society. Neither relative, friend, or tradesman, with
whom he was connected or acqur.irited, were forgotten ;ay
him in pursuing his coarse oh dishonesty. His conSiden,
