The following interesting communication is addressed to the Editor of the Madras Courier, and dated Coimbatore, April 21, 1819. Next day, eight tame female elephants were introduced into the enclosure; the Mahouts couched close on their necks, covered with dark cloths. The object of the tame ones was to separate one of the wild from the herd, and mob him. When this was accomplished, four Kut Mahouts, whose profession is to catch elephants, crept between the legs of the tame ones, and having fastened strong ropes to the hind legs of the wild fellow, secured him to the nearest tree; but the Kut Mahouts then retired towards the ditch, and the tame elephants, leaving the captive to his struggles, went after others. In this way 23 elephants were captured in six days, without the parties engaged meeting with the slightest accident, to the great amusement of the spectators, who perched on trees overhanging the enclosure, witnessed the sport without sharing in the danger. The sagacity of the tame Elephants-the address and courage of the Mahouts in approaching the wild ones-the anxious moments which passed from the cast of the first rope, until the last band was tied-the rage of the animals upon finding themselves entrapped, and their astonishing exertions to get freeafforded altogether a scene of extraordinary novelty and interest. Early in February last, about 3000 people of a Two ditches were cut from the entrance, to a hill on one side, and to a rock on the other, to prevent the elephants passing the enclosure. On the outside of the ditch, a a matting of branches about 6 feet high was placed, to give it a formidable and impassable appearance, and green bushes and branches were also stuck about the entrance to conceal the ditch, and to give it as much as possible an appearance of Jungle. When all this was completed, the people were reThis very celebrated and learned writer, The mournings of its widowed mate made an imand amiable man, died lately at Brunswick.pression on his mind which was never crased, As we hope shortly to be enabled to present and occasioned him frequently to introduce the our readers with some interesting biographi- dove in his pictures.

One of the elephants calved in the enclosure; and the young one was sufficiently strong to run about with its mother the first day. To naturalists, it may be satisfactory to know that the young elephant sucks with the mouth, and not with the proboscis, as is THE DRAMA. No novelties worth notice this week in the dramatic world. VARIETIES. On the first Tuesday of the present month the shock of an earthquake was severely felt at Cork and adjacent parts of Ireland. Madame Bianchi and Mr. Lacy's arrival in India has excited a strong sensation in the musical world. At a recent sitting of the French Academy, M. Alexander Duval read his comedy in verse, entitled;-'Orateur Anglais, ou l'Ecole des Deputés, preceded by remarks on comedy. At the Vaudeville, a parody on May Stuart has been produced. The scene of the conference between the two queens is hishly amusing. It commences in a very courteous strain, and ends with the tearing of caps.

We hear that another book, besides Louis's history of his reign in Holland, emanating from the Buonaparte family, is about to appear: it is a system of education for the exking of Rome, drawn up under the eye of is father the ex-emperor, and formed in the cabinet at St. Cloud. In Number 167 of the Literary Gazette, we mentioned, that a carriage with sails had been exhibited in the Jardin Murbeuf, at Paris. It appears that this carriage is of English construction; the object of the in-agents on courage; a medical and anecdoti-vels among us, and they are being trans ventor is to substitute sails for horses. The mechanism is simple and ingenious. A helm fixed at the hind part of the carriage, serves to guide it; and by the aid of sails fastened on masts, it receives the force ne cessary for impelling it forward. It is said, that in favourable weather, a carriage constructed on this plan is capable of travelling thirty miles an hour. The original idea of this machine is by no means new. About the year 1774, the Count de Gribauval, an officer of artillery in the French service, exhibited the model of a mechanical carriage, which was set in motion without the help of horses. In Russia and Sweden, when a boat is surprized by frost in a river or lake, it is placed on skaits, and continues to advance by means of its sails. Such is probably the origin of the new invention. 2. On the influence of moral and physical cal notice, by Baron Percy. 3. A historical eloge on M.
