BRUTAL ATTACK.—CAUTION TO TUB PUBLIC.--
On the night of Tuesday last, or early on Wednesday
morning, as a gentleman was passing down Gloucester-
square, nearly opposite Hyde Park, he was suddenly
attacked by a ruffianly-looking man, wearing a fur cap
and a great coat, who pinioned his arms, thrust his hand
against his mouth, and then rifled his pockets. The
gentleman immediately raised an alarm, but there not
being a policeman near the spot the scoundrel got off.
LEITH.—FATAL ACCIDENT.—We regret to state
that Mr. G. T. Page, civil engineer, acting at the dock
improvements under Mr. Rendall, met with an accident
on Thursday afternoon that terminated fatally a few
hours afterwards. Mr. Page left his office at four P.X.
to impect the inner dock wall, which, to protect it from
the frost, WP9 recently covered with a coping of straw,
which projccted a little over the wall. Here Mr. Page
incautiously put his foot, and fell a height of nearly
twenty feet, striking his head upon a cross beam in his
descent. When carried home it was found that his skull
was fractured, but a fatal result was not apprehended
till ten o'clock, when the medical gentlemen remarked
symptoms of congestion, and Mr. Page died at one
o'clock next morning. He stood high in his profession
as an engineer, and his sudden death has caused a gloom
among the
many workmen under his charge. He has
left a Nsife and young
family to Lament his loss.--Scots.
