The lOn Instantly erected his name, and, with
a Tremendous roar, sprang at the tiger. The
tiger was equally eager far the combat, and.
in a parOxysm Of fury, flew at his assailant,
, whilst the tigress fercely seconded her mate.
The roaring and yelling Of the cOmbatants re-
sounded through the yards, and excited in all
the various animals the mOst lively dom0n-
STATIONS Of fear or rage. The timid tribes
shivered with dread, and ran round their ca
ges shrieking with terror. whilst the other H.
ons and tigers, with the bears, leopartls, pan
theirs, wolves, and hyenas, few round their
dens, shaking the bars with their utmost
strength, and uttering the most terrific cries.
The lion fought most bravely, but was evil
dently Overmatched, having to contend with
two adversaries not more than a year from
the woods, whilst he had been upwards Of
seven years in confinement. Still the battle

seized the lion by the throat, and flung him on
his back, when, after rolling over each other
several times, the exasperated tigress pinned
her enemy against the veranda. in that stu

but no sooner was the separation affected than
the lion and tiger seized in their mouths, the

Cholera Morbus.-This disease. which has
ravag4d India and Persia. made its appear

Of Russia, in August, and carried every thing
before it. 1t is calculated that 5000, about
one sixth of the whole population, fell victims
r to it in the city, including the gov prnOr, admi-
raj of the feet, and 60 other officers. About
IL. 900 left the city for the towns and villages
up the Volga, and Of these more than 1000
A persisted; some were found dead by the road

i. dreadful in some all the people persisted
, and the boats were carried down the stream

Bo.irar.-We have letters before us of late
date from the Republic Of Colombia from We.
~ respectable sources, in which it is mention
I'd that the LiLerator (Bolivar) was at Il small
village called Soledad, on the banks of the
. M"gdalena, three days journey from Cartha-
, gena,and two from Santha Martha. His health
was sensibly. even dangerously impaired. He
had refused TO assume the supreme command,
owing to that circumstances. His friends near
him regard him as one who has sacrificed
himself to the object Of his country's welfare,
and without whom the republic will become
a chaos--a horrible scene Of civil war, blood
shed and anarchy. His enemies. on the other
hand, represent Colombia as his victim--the
prey of his ambition, and so forth.

Philadelphia National Gazette, we find in the
Journal OF Commerce this paragraph:
