commended to take from 20 to 25 grains of the Vs(

A most extraordinary affair has happened st r

thirteen persons who there went into the water'
have lost their reason, and shew a wild insanity'
their eyes staring in their heads. The gentle;
men of the faculty who have examined them, 11°
ordered severe exercise as a remedy for their afilic'
tion. One way is, the placing them on very noel
cars, and driving them smartly about. It is a serf
singular occurrence, and has astonished die peOL
in that part of the country,
The company at Ramsgate are now enjoying

On Tuesday se'nnight in the forenoon there ‘l,
an alarm of fire in the Fadory belonging to Mes,fsf6e.
OLIVANT, in Portland street, Manchester. 6,
tnost immediate assistance was given ; but notwi1
fire
standing, that part of the building where the ne
began (only very lately ereded) was soon in ?rig
flame from the ground to the top, the roof 114v1he
fallen in. It was for some time hoped that be
other and much larger part of the Factory o"`3
have been saved, and to effed this desirable oboel
the engines were ad-lively employed ; but it
.wasoo..
vain. The flames slowly, but effedually,
ated themselves beyond the boundary of the diouish
wall, and in a short time all 'attempts to Willi to
them were fruitless--every thing was consurne'vej
the walls, a part of which was obliged to be geurous
down in the course of the day, from the clang
state in which they were left. • iroo
