We are sorry to auneunce the death yesterday of a fine
little girl belonging to Licut. iluintlrevilt, of the Preven-
tive S:ation, at East Cowes, who being left alone with a
candle to go to sleep, got out of bed during the absence of
the servant, and by playing with it caught fire to her
gown, which so much injured her that she lingered only
forty-eight hours.
The Globe and Traveller of Monday last contains a
paragraph, said to copied from the Cumberland Paequet,
stating that a few days ago, whilst a boy was bathing near
this harbour, he got out f his depth, and was destroyed.
by a shark, which had been lurking for its prey ! We
can assure the Editor of that paper that no such occurrence
ever took place, consequently that the alarm and censter-
nation along the coast, which he describes, never existed ;
neither did any such paragraph as we have alluded to ever
appear in the Parquet. A stupid cock-and-a-bull story,
somewhat similar to that in the Globe and 7't aveller, which.
had its origin at Dutnfties, we believe, has lately made the
circuit of the newspaper press; we, however, contradicted.
it at the time, and now, it seems, the fabrication is laid to
our charge.2Camberland Pacquet.
Sixteen years ago, a boy, then seven years of age, while
playing with his comrades at the end of Bower's-lane,
Newcastle, a little above the bridge, fell backwards over
into the river Tyne. He had come up again trithestirface,
and sunk apparently to rise 'no more, when Mr. James
Pollock, dyer, who had instantly pushed colfa boat, dashed
into the water, seized him, and brought him to shore. Mr-
Polbek completed his work of humanity by immediately
using means to restore suspended animation, and these
means were happily successful: The parents of this young
man were in humble circumstances, and tittle toned on
without Mr. P. ever seeing than, or seeing or heating from
the ycuth whom he had thtts certainly rescued frocu a pre•
mature grave. Mr. Pollock, however, was lately presented
with a silver medal, which shows that no lapse of time was
suffkient to erase a sense of gratitude from the heart Of the
person in whose behalf he had so nobly exerted himself
&lateen years ago. The boy, then seven years of age, is
now a man, in the employment of Mr. Thompson, tner-
chant and banker at Appleby, in Westmorland. flis name
is William Pearson. The medal he presented to his bene-
factor exhibits on one side a representation of the river
Tyne, and Mr. Pollock diving to re sore him from its waters,
and bears this inscription on the other :—` Presented by.
%V.'Pearson to Mr. James Pollock, by whose courage and
humanity he was saved from drowning in the river Tyne ;'
and on the rim, Eripuisti me morti,lBlo. It was' accore.

" Appleby, Westmorland, June.
"St a,—Wlth this you will receive a medal by the hands of Mr.
Freeman, which lbeg you will accept, as a small token of gratitude,
from one who, through the blessing of Providence, owes his life to
your humanity. It is many years since the occurrence took place,
but I assure you the remembrance of year goodness is still as fresh
as ever in my mind, and will never be effaced from it as long as the
power of recollection is prolonged. I have always had an anxious
wish to present you with some small memorial expressive of your
noble conduct en that occasion, but enlist tunately my lather dying
soon after, and being very young myself, I was prevented, from
taking an earlier opportunity of evincing toy thankfulness. But lam
sensiblr you will have felt your sweetest reward in the approbation
of your own heart. To snatch a fellow-creature front destreetion,
to restere him to his patents, his brothers, and his sisters, who, but
for your courage anti humanity, had long since mourned over his
untimely grave, is a reflection calculated ro cheer yon under all
circumstances ; it will secure you the homage of every feelittg
bosom, and draw down the rich batedietion of Him whose appro-
bation far outweighs the best earthly blessing oe the proudest earthly
distinction. The triumphs of hunisuity are, above all others,
hnd
the
most grateful both to heaven and earth ; but, Sir, I canntst
words to express the fulness of my heart on this (to roe) imtrortant
event. I can only request you to accept this simple offering
ist
remembrance of it ; and whoever you look upon it, let it be with
the assurance of knowing that " the blessing of him that was ready
to-perish" will ever be invoked on you and yours. I ant, dear Stirs
with unchangeable regard, your most affectionate well-wisher,
