A full-grown lioness was lately consigned by the Sultan ot Zanzibar as a present to Lord Lansdowne, and was safely conveyed to the Zoological Gardens, Calcutta. During a conversation the keepers had an argument as to the fighting abilities ot tigers and lions. The tiger's keeper jumped on to the lioness's cage and lifted up her door, when the tiger leaped on the top of the sleeping lioness, caught her by the throat, and held on for a few minutes, when she died without; a struggle. The tiger's keeper has since run away, and cannot be found. GREAT BOOT PROVIDERS.-Summer now on. Tho Exhibition open. Visit R. Hannah & CO., HastinKs-strect.-'ADvr.] 610
