A SHIP STRUCK BY A SWORDFISH.—When the
barque Maud, commanded by Mr. W. P. Briggs, of Tyne-
mouth, was between the Mauritius and Ceylon on her
homeward voyage, she sprung a leak which was not produc-
tive of serious consequences. :.-he arrived in Tyne last
week, and was put into the Middle Dock for repairs. It
was thee discovered that the leak had been caused by a
swordfish thrusting its formidable weapon through one of
the planksunder the bilge. Apiece of the sword,. 9} inches
in length was found firmly embedded in the plank, which
had been much rent by the force of the shock. The bold
little finny warrior bad no doub mistaken the hull of the
ship for the body of a whale, and it is to be feared that he
would only come off second best, if not worse—Sunderland

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills and Oointment.—
All the maladies incidental to spring can be prevented,
checked in their course, or ultimately cured by these fine
purifying and cooling medicaments. The Pills rouse the
stomach, regulate the liver, stimulate the kidneys, and act
gently on the bowels. The Ointment, rubbed over any
part, penetrates the neighbouring organs, which it frees
from all noxious and irritating humors, and, aided by the
Pills, expels them. By these remedies the skin is cleansed
of all freckles, spots, and disfigurements, without driving
them inwards, or doing harm. It is wonderful how weak..
ness, low spirits, and enervation, give way to vigour and
vivacity under a course of Holloway's medicines, which
may be safely used at all times by both sexes.
