CURIOUS SCENE AT NORTH SHIELDS.--A =e-
ago lier Majesty's lieges at North Shields were higoot
amused by the following scene which took place in, his
town. It appeared that a Yarmouth captain towhiell
wife do not live on those terms of endearment w,ber
should exist between two who have been joined togielot
in holy matrimony, and, in fact, the husband had Jwer
appeared before the North Shields magistrates, to ans,„iut
the charge of his wife for rough usage ; the comi"`"her
was, however, dismissed, the lady not being withouth
faults, and especially inclined to indulge too roue and
drinking strong draughts of aqua vitce. As the ey
and three other Yarmouth captains were on their ;jet
from the justice-room, the North Shields town-c"iiirl
came within view, and the husband said, if the job n°,o,
be done reasonable, he would have his wife cried do
and the crier agreed to do it for is. 6d. The Ville
being paid, the official, who formerly served in the .;,,00
as bugler, blew a blast so loud and clear that it :
attracted a large assemblage, among whom wer"the
majority of the fair sex of Shields. To the audience ocl
crier proclaimed that Captain ,of the ship wilactr
not be answerable for any debts his wife might contrto
&c. This so excited the indignation of the wives' sae one tall Amazonian-looking woman proposed that a f
scription be immediately gathered for the purposcLe,
crying the captain down, who, they were sure, must uzio;
bad one to cry his wife down • however, this was yr.
agreed to, the general wish being that summary veow
geance should be inflicted. The captain, on seeing b
matters were likely to end, sheered ff, and song"
safety in his ship.—Newcastle Guardian.

EXTRAORDINARY WORK OF ART,-.We have be of
favoured with a sight of a piece of workmanshic'ol
which some of our readers may possibly have he
n-b-0$
something. We are at a loss to give it a haine'f
tbere is no difficulty in describing it, as it consists to
vast number of pieces of fine cloth (they araool3;dis
3,570), of divers colours, worked together with he
and silk, into various forms and devices e..4'
, with such 71.4
and delicacy, that the whole resembles a sort of tape
*"d
in which we have representations of men and beasts'
vessels under sail and at anchor. The beau
tine
workmanship is most extraordinary, evincing In
~,,uch
artist sot only first-rate skill in his calling, but
refinement. His name we have pleasure in 131.11„ biS
known—he is Mr. John Munro, of Paisley, and, to
honour be it spoken, this beautiful production of w.,„'1,01
executed during those hours of leisure when too it, et
of his class are wasting their health and subston
