A MAD ELEPILINT.

On the 21st of November an alarming occurrence
took place in the came of the Indian Army, to the
no small confusion.of almost every individual. An
order for movement having brought all the baggage
eleillants to their respective stations, for the conve)-
ance of the tents to the next encamping ground : one
of thee wsimals suddenly set off in a violent rage,
and after running in all directions for a gliOrt. time,
shaped his course among a crowd his flight had
brought together, fromh having singled out his
mabotvt,' he psi:old of the pc,or fellow tinsrlaillrr
him to death. This done, he again began to rim
• about, and threw the whole camp into the greatest
consternation : and serious apprehensions were enter-
tained for another poor man, who was all the time
on his back, having ascended it before the anitr..l
first ran away, to adjust the baggage to be conves
on him. Many OffLers crme out of their tents wi!h
loaded guns, but as the el... Thant would not rest a
moment, there was no approaching him within a sale
distance. Another male elephant was then brought
to the spot, and no sooner was he seen by the enraged
animal, than he was most furiously attacked, and
after exchanging tin* or four hard knocks against
each other's head and teeth, the first one turned away
and scampered oat of sight. It was not known where
he went. to ; and the man who was on his back, and
who was given over as lost, returned into camp after
several hours, having saved himself by laying hold
of a bough of a litrge tree, near which the elephant
was passing us his flight.

Av INsorvaNr.—A Peruvian, who was deeply in-
volved in debt,' was walking the streets with a very
Melancholy air; one of his acquaintance asked hint
why he was so sorrowil;l7 " Alas (said he) lam iu
a state of insolvency."-..-" Well," said his friend, " if
that is the case, it is not you, but your creditor; who
ought to wear a woful countenance !"
On the 24th of last month a water-'pout alunwt
entirely destroyed five hoses, ;tear M 4;0;7, in Jut-
land; tore up trees by the roots, and threw them
some hundred paces. A great quantity of hail fell
in the neighbourhood the same day.
GLASGOW, AUGUST 4.--1 I art cs t will be general-in
this part of Scotland by the beginning of September.
The crop will not only be extremely productive in
respect of Grain, hat the quantity and quality of
Straw will more than make up for the deficiency of
Hay. In every respect the crop n ill ke unucualij
fine ; and there is no doubt that the prlces of lira`: a
will fall considerably. Potatoes are both luxuriant
and early ; and cannot fail to be cheap, inlet;
great demand for butcher•meat should make theist
be used largely in feeding cattle.

WISCIIESTER, Auca'ec 6.—A considerable crx-...
city of Grain has been already housed in thikneif•iir
bourhood ; a circumstance at so early a period is r.ot

CORN-EXCHANGE, MAn Axc, A voner C.*
Wheat Trade was exceedingly heavy this mo-nine,
in consequence of the increasing arrivals from al-rcs.e.
and what few sales were made were at full Ss. per
quarter lower than on Atonday. Noncithstandi-g
the immense supply of Oats, both English and F. -
reign, the demand was brisk at an wlvance of ls. pet
quarter, and a large quai,tity has been cleared. Of.
hi Barley there is but little doing, and prices sine Loy
minai. Beaus and Peas support Monoay's prices.
