A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATlL—Yesterday
day afternoon a gentleman was driving his gig along the
Ilammersmith-new-road, and when nearly opposite, the
Wheatsbeaf Tavern, he was suddenly seized with a faint-
ing fit, and thereby rendered totally unable to control the
hors., who was trotting along at a rapid pace. Fortu-
-
nately Mr. Bullock, the pro etorpri of the Wheat
sheaf, observed the reins suddenly fall from the
gentleman's hands, and ho immediately ran to
the horse's head and succeede in stopping the animal.
After some time the gentlemen,d to some extent, recovered
and Etited his name was Captain, and that he resided at
Starch green, whither he was proceeding when insensibi-
lity overtook him. He was soon seen home by the police,
and medical assistance at once procured. It was most
fortunate for the gentleman that Mr. Bullock saw the
occurrence, and acted with such promptness, otherwise he
would undoubtedly have fallen from the vehicle and been
killed.

A 60-horse power double horizontal steam fire
engine has arrived at Pembroke Dock from the
makers, Shand and Mason, London. This power-
ful engine is intended to be a supplement to the
hand engines already in the dockyard, but which
would to a great extent be powerless against a
heavy Are.
