ACTIVITY IN THE ROYAL ARSENAL.—Whether the
question of war with Russia and Turkey is believed to
be settled in the minds of the people, the activity dis-
played in every department of this establishment argues
to the contrary. There have been almost daily addi-
tional entries of the men and boys, and orders have been
received for further entries during the ensuing week.
For some time past it has been the practice to pay the
hammermen employed in the establishment wages
varying from 14s. to 18s. per week, but, in future, the
uniform rate of wages for this class of workmen is to be
raised to 19s. per week.—Kentish, Mercury.
ROMANTIC INCIDENT ON BOARD A MAIL BOAT AT
SOUTHAMPTON.—A curious and affecting incident oc-
curred just upon the departure of the Euxine from the
docks at Southampton, with the Peninsular and Oriental
mails, which excited a great sensation among the numer-
ous spectators assembled on the wharf to witness her
sailing. Directly the vessel hauled off, a young lady,
well dressed and of considerable personal attractions, ap-
parently bent upon self-destruction, deliberately precipi-
tated herself from the standing-place into the dock basin.
A seaman, who happened to be upon the jib-boom of the
Euxine preparing to set the canvas, instantly let go his
hold and dropped into the water for the purpose of res-
cuing the lady. This he effected, having managed .to
lay hold of her, notwithstanding her struggles, and to
keep her above water till a boat came to her assistance,
into which she was hauled, and by it taken on shore,
where the necessary attentions brought about a gradual
recovery. A romantic story is said to attach to this
strange event. The lady has been, it is said, seduced
and abandoned by a gentleman who had taken passage
for India by the Euxine. Hearing of his intended de-
parture, the young lady came to Southampton, and
sought an interview with her former lover, at an
hotel where he was stopping with an uncle, who had
come down to see him off. This being refused, the
lady posted herself during the whole of Saturday on
the deck of the Euxine, in the expectation of in-
ducing a reconciliation with her faithless friend.
On the departure of the vessel she had to be re-
moved by force, the services of the police being called
in by the officials of the company for this purpose.
In the meantime the gentleman, under the advice of his
uncle, and to avoid an unpleasant scene, had engaged
a boat to convey him a considerable distance down the
river, where he leisurely awaited the coming of theves-
ves-
sel, and secured an uninterrupted embarkation. Find-
ing herself defeated at every point, h
young lady, in a paroxysm of disappointment and de-
spair, plunged into the water, there. if possible, to
drown her sorrows and her shame. But for the gallant
and prompt assistance afforded by the brave sailor who
risked hip life for her, the poor girhl
before a boat could
get to her rescue.
She is now lying at the Canute
Hotel, and will be taken before a magistrate on
Monday on a charge of attempting self-destruction.
The feelings of the heartless man who first dishonoured
and then abandoned his victim, upon hearing of these
circumstances,
mayNT be better imagined than described.

Dear Sir,—Amon, the numerous cures effected by your
valuable medicines, permit me to inform you of the fol-
lowing : Mrs. Mary Jackson, residing in this town, 75
years of age, had a dreadful bad leg for upwards of five
months; there were three sores on it, and it was swollen
to an immense size. Every person that saw it thought
that she would not recover : however your ointment and
pills alone have perfectly cured it.—Sold by all Drug.
