CONSISTENT TO THH LAST !—Sir James Graham's
Medical Bill purposes to appoint a " Council of Health
and Medical Education," to consist of the following
members :—Fotir from England, four from Scotland,
and three from Ireland. Bravo ! Even this affair could
not be arranged without some insolent and most gratui-
tous mark of inferiority for Ireland. Because we have
a Medical and Surgical School which stand in European
estimation much higher than any in these countries,
Ireland is to have one member less in the Council than
England, or even Scotland ! Bravo ! we say again.
What matchless ingenuity these Ministers have in in-
venting arguments for repealers !—Dublin Pita.
BRUTAL CONDUCT AND PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—
The cutter Design from Terceira, with a cargo of fruit
for London, was proceeding up channel with a fine breeze
at S. by E. when, arriving off Exmouth., about one o'clock
on Friday morning, the 10th instant, at a distance of
about thirty miles from the land, she was run into with
a most tremendous crash by a large barque, name un-
known, running down channel before the wind, and imme-
iately sunk. The perishing crew, at the utmost strength
of their voices, resed one general cry to the barque
for assistance. The mate, throwing off his boots and
clothes, jumped into the sea, and swans away in hope of
being picked up by the barque, and fearing the vortex
would carry him clown. At the same moment the re-
mini:der of the crew, five in number, with the greatest
perseverance and presence of mind, reached their boat,
which was secured on the hatches, and with a very small
pocket-knife succeeded in cutting through the lashing just
at the very instant the vessel sunk from under their feet.
•rhe phrls being both out, two of the men thrust their
thumb: into the plug-holes, and partly prevented the
water from rushing in, while the three other people were
engaged in extricating the boat from the entanglement of
the vessel's sails and rigging as she sunk to rise no more.
This was a work ofgreat difficulty, as the boat got between
the shrouds and the mast. The boat being clear, their at-
rention was instantly directed to the drowning mate ; they
found him nearly exhausted, and struggling with the waves
among a number of loose articles that floated from the
wreck, and hastily pulling him into the boat, they imme
d;atel followed the destructive barque, rowing with two
e-,rs double banked all the time, and as from the first
moment of the collision, helloing and calling vociferously
assistance ; but the ears of the merciless master and
the crews although long within hail and sight, were alike
snsrto the cries of distress. The miscreants shivered their
Lew minutes, when, seeing the boat approach them,
stud detection certain, they in the most ruthless manner
filled their sails and proceeding on their course, without

SUICIDE BY A Doc.--On Saturday
vandsorne and valuable black de,
, of the last, a fine
e
Newfoundlandi
species, belonging to Mr. Floyd, solicitor, olmfirth,
eommitted suicide by drowning Itself in tileri r
flows at the back of its owner's habitation. vFore which
some
days previous the animal seemed less animated than
usual, but on this particular occasion he was noticed to
throw himself into the water and endeavour to sink byiß e
preserving perfect stillness of the legs and feet. B • - g
dragged out of the stream, the dog was tied up for a
time, but had no sooner been released than he again
hastened to the water and again tried to sink, and was
again got out. This occurred many times, until at
length the animal with repeated efforts appeared to get
exhausted, and by dint of keeping his head determinedly
under water for a few minutes succeeded at last in oh-
taMing his object, for when taken out this time he was
indeed dead. The case is worth recording, as affording
another proof the general instinct and sagacity of the
canine race.—Leeds Intelligencer.
