of Handley, exhibited filawney's patent prize corn
dressing machines. Crowds of pleasure seekers from
the country Hocked in during the day, when attrao•
tions in the shape of Ewer's theatrical entertainment,
giants, giantesses, shooting galleries, cheap Jacks,
&a., were amply provided, with the usual
supply of pickpockets, fighting, drinking, swearing,
and the ordinary species of depravity which are un•
fortunately superadded to the bushing of then

have a short excursion on the sea. For this purpose,

however, being very high, and being cautioned by
Thomas Roberts, of the "Jolly Sailor Inn," the
ladies would not venture. Mr. Scott, however, not
feeling any timidity, and being told by the three
men whom ho had engaged that there was no danger,
got into the boat in company with the men and made
for the sea. When arrived near the pier head the
immense waves, breaking 12 or 14 feet high, showed
them their imminent danger, and the men inunedi•
ately tried to turn; whilst, however, the broadside
of the boat was towards the sea the breakers 'aught
and dashed over it, driving it completely under
water an alarm was immediately raised by a reve•
flue offloor firing a pistol, which promptly brought a
number of persons to the spot. T. Roberts instantly
got a life buoy, which wail tied to the body of a man
named Willietu Rowe, who with great pluck Jumped
into the water; fortunately Mr. 'Scott and the men
were good awinuntirs i Mr. Scott soon gut hold of
the buoy, and was rescued without ;toy other Moon.
