TSB FANCY.

Monday, a benefit for Ward, took place at the Tennis Court
Great Windmill.streer, to relate the particulars cif which would
be a waste of space ; it was similar to those which have so often
been described, and was crowded. Ward challenged the world
for five hundred pounds.
Another meeting occurred near St. James's.street. The condsuct
of a Gentleman who has lately avoided the Ring, as connected with
pugilism, was commended. at. list of prize-fighters who had nevvr
lost a batik was handed about, and the majority of those present,
on retiring, declared their decided intention of never again risking
a guinea on a heat.

FATAL •ACCIDENT.

A MAN TILLED WE THE ELEPHANT AT EXETER .CHANOP..

Yesterday, a Coroner's Inque,t was held on the body
of John Tiessen, the keeper of the elephant at Exeter
'Change, who was killed by that irtrnense animal.
The principal witness was John Cottel, who deposed
as follows :—I am one of the keepers of the beasts at
Exeter 'Change, and yesterday morning we went to the
ekphant's den to clean it out. As usual, I took the
spear with me to keep him in subjection, bpt the de-
ceased told. me to put the spear down, as the animal
knew h m well. I put it down, and the he ,st, after
playing with it under his feet, took it up in hi, trunk.
and waved it about several times. The deceased then
struck him with the broom, and said, " Come round."
The beast turned quickly. and brushed the deceased
with his right tusk on the breast, and pressed him ag.rinst
the bar of the den, and the deceased fell immediately,
and the elephant stood trembling, as iicon4cious he had
done wrong. • I am quite certain that- the occurrence
was purely accidental. The elephant was remarkably
tame, and was pirticolarly fond of t':e deceased. I
have been in his den. and cleared it out :nice the acci-
dent, and the animal was perfectly kind.
He was asked the weight of the beast, and he replied by the ad-
measurement he weighed four tons and a ha.lf, and consumed from
seven to nine hundred weight.o day, and about thirty.kve pails
of water.

The Jury returned a ♦erdict " That the deceased was killed by
the elephant accidentally."—Deodand is. on the beast.

Three Lades have appeared in the capital of Pratte
who, as fencers, challenge the best professors of the art.
By accounts from Montreal to the 'S.+ ult. we learn
that the Act empowering his MAJESTY to grant to the
Canada Land Company the Clergy Reserves in Upper
Canada, had been published in the (Peke Gazette.
By this Act his MAJZSTY is anthori•ei to sell and con-
vey to the Company, in fee-simple, one-half cf the
Clergy Reserves, and the money to he paid by me
Co.npany is to be appropriated exclusively to the sup-
port and maintenance of the Protestant Clergy of toe
Province. The shares in the ' mufti-taking arid in its
profits are to be deemed personal estate, and as such,
transmissible accordingly. •
