The extensive rnenagerie Of the Messrs.

city. This exhibition coniains not only lion,
but five or six splendid specimens Of that noble
animal. Among them is the noble lion ssEm
peror," presented to President VAN BUREN by
the Emperor Of Morocco. Also the famous
lions used by the celebrated Garter, of London.
The famous white bear, SO much admired by
every traveller who has visited the Royal Gar
dens at Paris, has just been added TO the col


lection. Besides sight Of the animals, there


is performance given which exhibits, in
glowing colors, the power given to man by a
Divine Providence, over the brute creation
We refer to the performance Of Mr. Pearce in
the cage of lions, tigers, panthers, &C., whose

The conduct of some of the hackmen is
getting to be quite outrageous. On Tuesday
afternoon gentleman engaged hack TO take
him to the race ground, for which he agreed
to pay dollar, about twice as much as the
law allows. On the road, the driver, in spite
Of all remonstrance, insisted upon taking up
two other persons. The consequence was
that the gentleman refused to pay the dollar,


which he had a perfect right to do, as the law
entitled him to the whole hack The driver
then assaulted him in most brutal manner
striking him upon the bare head with his whip,
etc. In the struggle. the gentleman, who is a
stranger in the city, lost his hat. 1t is crafty
ing to learn ,ha, the rascal has subsequently
been arrested and held 10 bail. The insolence
Of many of the drivers is unbearable, especi-
ally towards strangers who are ignorant Of the
Jaw.
