Mr. John Scott, carrier from Manchester to Glas-
- -

e

gow, as travelling in the trail-coach towards Man-.
Chester, on the 1 tith inst. was taken suddenly ill at
golton; he 'was put to bed, and, during the night, -
in a fit of insanity, got out of the roOin window, and
•fell into the-street. He was Much bruised, and -
scarcely able to utter a word : he lingered till Satin--
day se'nnight, when he died.
Saturday se'nnight a' very shocking 'occurrence.
took place at a public-house 31013 J-shore, below,:
Liverpool : Several men, part of crie, crew of the
Ship Neptune, which had run on shore a-little belo*--,
the Fort, had been employed in getting. her
They'had left the Vessel and gone. into the public- '
house.for refreshment, 'when t person ,came to re-
eueSt their immediate attendance at the Ship, and
not being able to prevail on them to leave the house
instantly, he had recourse to the dreadful stratageth
of scaling the roof of the house, and dropping a
cartridge of gun-poWder down the chimney; in con-
sequenct of which one man was killed on the spot„
another had his arm so lacerated as to make ampu-
tation at the shoulder necessary, and several others
were severely hurt ; the house was shook to its
foundation, and the doors shattered to pieces.
On the night of Thursday the 9th inst. or early
on Friday morning, during the storm, a large and
heavy corn stack, supported on the timbers of a helni,
in a farm-yard at Wyton, Holderness, dropped down
to the ground nearly in a' perpendicular diredion,
and retains its form without visible alteration.—
What is also remarkable, the fall was so instanta-
neous, that two valuable beasts and a pig, also a
game cock, and a number of other poultry at roost
in the helm below, were all buried, and lay dead
under the stack.
Yesterday sent-light a beggar woman, apparently
in liquor, being observed by Mr. Leslie, baker,
using a child very ill in the street of North Shields,
he' humanely took it from her, and committed
it to' the care of another woman till the next
morning, when the pretended mother came and
demandedit. Oil the woman offering to give up
the
.child, it• screamed alodd to be kept'front that
bad woman,- Who was not her mother. This, of
course, caused a minute inquirfr when the child
gave the fellowing account her name wat
'Sally Gardner, and that she belonged to Liverpool—
that her father was a sailor—that her mother died
one morning, and at night she was sent out to buy
a pound of candles, when she was met by that wo-
man, and a man without 'an arm, who took the
money from her; and carried her out of the town,
when they stripped off her good clothes And put
I old rags on her—and that they had beat her cru-
elly every day since. During this 'examination, the.
wretch made her escape • across the water, where
she was pursued and taken, and sent off to Durham
corredion-house. Her nanie is 'Donald, and
travelled with a vagabond of the name of 'Al`Gilley,
who was seen in South Shields, but made his escape.
-The girl appears. to be between eight and nine years
of age, and is a very pretty child. The is in the
South Shields poor-house tLti information (# het
friends- is 'obtained.
