Ths Anes of GihrnItnr.

A correspondent oc the London Tele-
graph, writing from Gibraltar under
date of September l6, says: sr vv.s
''The Governor, Sir Fenwick Williams,
Of Kars, is popular, and makes an ex-
cellent commander. He and his prede-
cessors have mainly devoted themselves
to defending the apes that are 10 be
found on the rock against hostile attacks
from the garrison or town. These apes
are the only wild monkeys in Europe,
They have been here from time immewo-
rial, and they are reverenced as muck
as their brothers in the sacred groves Of
Benares. The most stringent orders are
issued against injuring them. From the
signal battery on the top Of the rock
soldiers are always on the lookout with
telescopes for them, and the number
seen every day is registered in book.
A few months ago young gentleman
arrived here fresh from school, as an en-
sign in a regiment. Wandering over
the rock with gun he espied an ape,
and as he thought it would be interest
ing to send home a stuffed monkey, shot
it. Imagine the horror Of the town and
garrison when the lad came back through
the streets bearing with him triumphantly
the result of his days shooting. An
ofiicer-even an ensign-is a very great
man here. The inhabitants did not dare
rush upon the sacrilegious wretch who
had slaughtered creature almost as
holy as an officer. Some sat at their
doorsteps in silent horror, aud yelled
their countenances. Others followed
the corpse of the dead ape to see what
would happen to its murderer. Gibraltar
was in it-for it-a state of wild excite
ment. When the ensign reached his
barracks, his colonel and brother officers
explained to him the fearful crime of
which he had been guilty. So great, in
deed, was the offence, that it was felt
that the Governor alone could deal with
it. Sir Fenwick Williams is man of n
kindly nature; but even he, | under
stand, thought for some time of nothing
less than cashiering the unfortunate en-
sign; while one or two of the permanent
authorities, who, on hearing what had
occurred, Immediately went to the Gov
ernment House to tender their advice,
were strongly in favor of the lex tall
onis. and the ensign being slain, to
avenge the names Of the slaughtered
ape. After lengthy discussion he was
consigned to captivity. he has since
been released, but he has left his own
name in prison, and is now called by
every one Du Chaillu."
