ELEPHANT KILLING.

The following account at the death of an elephant,
from the New York Gazette of the sth ult. proves that
there is a quicker way of destroying an animal of this
description than was employed here lately :
" This brutal outrage, we learn from the Providence Microcosm,
was committed about midnight, as the elephant was moving with
its keeper and attendants from the village of Chepatchet towards
Smithfield, two muskets, or rifles, having been discharged at it
from the grist mill near the bridge; one of which was loaded with
seven, and the other with two bullets. which killed the noble beast
almost instantly, and imminently endangered the keeper's life. The
perpetrators of the shameful deed left the mill, and mixed with the
citizens who were in the road, large numbers having been drawn
from their houses by the pleasant moon-light night, and a knowledge
of the keeper's intention to remove the animal So surprised were
they at a catastrophe so unexpected, and so disgraceful to its agents,
and so absorbed were they in coattail iating the bloody spectacle
before them, that they made no immediate efforts to discover the
unprincipled perpetrators, and it was apprehended they bad eluded
the arm of justice. By the persevering exertions of the people of
that village, prompted by the best feelings, a discovery has keen
made, and six persons have been examined, and the evidence of
their having been concerned in the affair being strong, have been
ordered to recognize in the sum of 500 dollars each, with sureties
in the same amount. to await their trial before the competent tri-
bunal. The persons apprehended are—Fenner Eddy, John Inman,
Albert lisidy, Francis West, Angell Darling, Benjamin Bowen,
who are persons unable to give restitution, and for w►ose conduct
no motive is assigned other than that of a disposition for mischief.
The elephant was valued at 12,000 dollars."

Thursday, the remains of the Rev. Mr. WILLIAMS.
many years Minister of Gate street Chapel, Lincoln's
Inn Fields, were committed to the earth with much ,o-
'enmity, in the burial ground of Bunhill Fields, City
Road. The deceased Gentleman was upwards of 70
years of age, the greater part of which had been spent
in the Ministry. Tne hearse was accompanied by about
iwenty mourning coaches, filled with Dissenting Minis-
ters and others, friends of the deceased, who followed the
corpse to the grave in procession, surrounded by the
greater part of the deceased's congregation. Several
hymns were sung over the grave, and prayers offered
up in succession by the Rev. Messrs. Slstru, %Lacs,
and ALEXANDER FLETCHER.

It is a fact perhaps unprecedented, that at present,
Loch Tay discharges no wat r by the bed of the river
Tay. It is not remembered by the oldest inhabitant in
that quarter, that they have at any prior period seen a
less body of water than three feet deep issuing from the
Loch by the Tay, in any season—thus the evaporation
from the 14.1c1i has excreted in this, any known season,
by about 180,124,560 cubic feet.
RUSSIAN TRAM—The principal articles imported in
1825 were, rice, sugar, cotton, yarn, dyeing materials,
cotton manufactures, wine, &c. The whole value of
the imports was 182,706,835 rubles. The principal
exports were, tallow, flax, hemp, and corn; the whole
of the exports amounted to the sum of 234,731,448
rubles, exceeding the imports by the sum of 52,024613
rubles.—Si. Petersburgh Journal, June 20.
On the 26th of last month, the cloth manufactory of
M. Lelan, burgomaster of Cherattes, in the province of
Liege, was totally destroyed by fire, with all the ma-
chinery, wool, cloth, and all that it contained. A him-
dred workmen are thrown out of employment by this
venet, which is attributed to negligrnce.
Last week, a young man attempting to pass at night-
fall by a very dangerius road at the extremity of the
village of Gundelwald, slipped, and fell 186 feet,
from one tuft of bushes to another, and then 60 feet
perpendicular into the cataract of the torrent of the
Sevine. The resistance of the water threw him back,
and he caught hold of a rock. Nine intrepid men, at
the risk of their lives, by the means of hooks and ropes,
succeeded in drawing, him up. This young man has
not received the slightest wound or voutusion in this
fall of 246 feet. lie uttered cries of joy while his
clothes were drying.—Freakfort Paper.
