[ADVERTISEMENT.] UNPRECEDENTED CURE BY
HOLLOWAY'S PlLLS.—Thomas Symonds, formerly of Chatham Dcck-
yard, residing in Gravel-lane, Southwark, had been unable to do
his work for t .roe 3 ears. Ills lunge were supposed to be affected,
having a distre,sing cough, with feet and legs swelling, besides which
he could scarcely ever keep anything on his stomach, and was gene-
rally so weak and ill as to barely have power to stand; yet in three
months this poor man acquired almost a new constitution by taking
Holloway's Pills, and is now become so strong and well as to be
able to undertake the laborious duties of a carpenter on board a
vessel about sailing to New South Wales. These invaluable Pills am
sold at Professor Tiolloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, Undel
ind Ay a dtalue mod Witt.

FEMALE AT HUNIBERIfOED PIER.—On Tuesday morning,. as
early as three o'clock, and indeed even before that period,
the attention of some of the watermen aed others connected
with Hungerford Pier, was directed to a young fang*
named Mary Ann Butler, who was walking-about there for
some time in a very suspicious manner, and on being ques-
tioned as to her business at that early hour, she made na
reply, but merely sobbed and shed tears, appearing altogether
melancholy. Soon after she walked away, and about five
o'clock she again returned, and having passed under the
floating pier, she made a few signs in a somewhat theatrical
manner, and then ejaculated in an emphatic tone, " Alas
I cannot bear it any longer, I must and will die ; God for-
give me my sins." She then made a terrific plunge into the
water, and almost immediately disappeared. Two persons,
who had witnessed the eccurrence at this moment arrived at
the spot, and both being expert swimmers dived in After
her, with all their clothes on, and in a few seconds she again
appeared on the surface, when they succeeded in rescuing
her from a watery grave. The unfortunate creature, who is
well educated, and appears to be highly respectable, {was
then conveyed in a state of insensibility and exhaustion, to
the Charing-cross Hospital, and placed under the charge of
Mr. Channon, the house-surgeon. It was at first considered
that life was extinct, but after half an hour's labour at re-
suscitation signs of life became evident. She still remains at_
the above institution, conducting herself in the most rational
manner, but refusing to give any information as to heral
age, vas
friends or the inducement to attempt so rash an act.

morningox a fins child, eight soNIN G DYTIiED DEADLY N
years of -Su n n
brought to the Westminster Hospital, evidently suffering
from the effects of poison. Mr. Tabay having administered
the usual antidotes, instituted an inquiry into the cause of
the symptoms which betrayed themselves, when he weer-
tained that the sufferer had eaten a quantity of the berries
of the belladonna, or deadly night-shade, which anotkex
boy collected in the Willow-walk, Chelsea, and gave him.
For six hours the child endured the most frightful convul-
sions, which were fortunately accompanied by frequent
vomitings, which circumstance, aided by unremitting atten-
tion, saved his life, although he was for three hours in
state of syncope.
REDUCTION OF RAILWAY FARES.-The London and
North-Western Railway have announced a considerable re-
duction of fares between Liverpool and London, and Man-
chester and London, to take effect on the Ist of September,
and promise a reduction of various short fares on the
Liverpool and Manchester line.
SWANSEA PILOT RACES.—These interesting sports
came off at Swansea on Wednesday last, and were witnessed
by a large assemblage of gaily-attired persons, amongst
whom were several of the principal families of the neighbour-
hood. Throughout the afternoon the pier, the beach, and
the look-out house were lined with spectators, and at the
hour of starting the scene was truly animating and exciting.
At three o'clock eleven boats took their respective stations
at the buoy. The signal gun having been fired, an excellent
start was made, the boats being hurried along by a favour-
able stiff breeze. They kept together in admirable order for
some time, and ere they rounded the first mark it became
evident there would be a severe contest; and so it proved.
after a laeautiful race, and a run of two hours' duration, the.
Singleton passed 'the last mark in gallant style only three or
four minutes before the last boat came up. Neptune arrived
second, and the favourite, the Faith, the third. When the
boats were out the spectators had to witness, to their mani-
fest delight, several excellent rowing matches between two-
oared and four-oared boats. The day's proceedings were
terminated by the usual regatta ball, which was numerously
and fashionably attended.
MORPETH GAOL.—A prisoner under sentence ois
death has just made his escape by means of a key he had cut
out of leather. This building cost the county 100,0001., and
during the last three or four years workmen have been con-
stantly employed in pulling down and building up, at an ad-
ditional expense. The court-house, forming part of the
prison is now used as a place of public worship, and on
week-days as an exclusive school-room. It would be well if
the rate-payers, whose property it is, would inquire what,
damage it may have sustained, and by what authority it ha;
been thus employed.—From u Correspondent.

regulations for the sale of horses in Smithfield were posted ht
