 A very extensive cAlection of wild ani-. malls had, it seems, arrived, consisting of Lions, Tigers, Hyenas A&5c. &c. preceded by the usual pompous halabills posted up in all parts of the city, annolHcing most wonder I full show of wild beasts. Walking the streets with some frienisa short time before the commencement of the exhibition, the at tention of Col. CrockeSw twas arrested by one l of these notices, whicH seemed to have, all of sudden, most eihilirating, animating influence upon his feJings. He forthwith announced a spree to hs friends.

 The mines are now work@ aby forty men, under the superintendence dfMr. Miller, the intelligent director of the alerprize. The horizontal drifts which have. .een excavated, taken together, give about Nn hundred feet of distance in solid rock. Inc breadth of the veins or beds, as ascertalled at present, is not less than ninety feet. Upwards of 20 tons of ore, as a sample, hav4 leen shipped to England, and at least one hladred tons are. now on the ground fit for ths tamping mill.
