HYTHE.—On Wednesday afternoon, about four
o'clock, the body of a man, name unknown, was seen floating
in the water nearly opposite Fort Sutherland by a preventive
man on duty, who having procured assistance, had the body
speedily brought ashore. No time was lost in giving infor-
mation to the coroner, who finding' that decomposition was
fast advancing, immediately summoned a jury, which, after
viewing the body, and hearing all the evidence that could
be obtained, returned a verdict of " Found drowned." The
body was given up to the parish authorities for interment. It
is thought probable that the deceased was one of those un-
fortunate persons who lost their lives in the late wreck in the
neighbourhood of Rye. Of course this is mere conjecture.--
Dover Chronicle.

CURIOUS DOCUMENT.—A few days ago a curious
document was discovered by the clerk of Crosthwaite Church,
Keswick, whilst employed in searching one of the old register
books. The interesting document above alluded to contained
the appointment of Percival Radcliffe, clerk, by Oliver Crom-
well, to be the incumbent of the parish of Crosthwaite. This
record bears date the 2d of November, 1652, and is conse-
quently 193 years old.—Carlisle Journal.

On Sunday., a boy-preacher, from Belfast, held
forth in the Market-square, South Shields. After each dis-
course, the father of the boy, assisted by the town-crier and
other?, went round with hats, and took a collection (as stated
by them) for his education.—Newcastle Chronicle.
THE LEG OF A CAPTAIN TORN OFF.—OH Satur•
day Capt. Owen Williams, of the Alfleida schooner, from
Glasgow, engaged with a steamer to tow his vessel up to
Runcorn. A hawser was passed to the steamer for that pur-
pose, and on the word being given to go a-head, it was found
that by some means the captain's leg had become entangled
in the hawser, and he could not be rescued until his foot was

literally torn off above the ancle. He was immediately taken
whore in great agony, and conveyed to the dispensary, where,
about two hours after, he wasibrought up, and the stump am-
putated about the middle of the calf. We are happy to hear
that the unfortunate patient is pronounced out of danger.—
aze.ster Chronicle.

POET OF BRISTOL.—A Committee of the Bristol
Town Council has been appointed to negotiate with the Dock
Company for the purchase of the dock property, with the
view of improving the trade of the port by a reduction of the
exorbitant dues which have for a long period been crippling
the trade of the port.
