COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A NAVAL. OFFICER.—
We have to record an act of great courage and humantty, quite
in keeping with the characteri,tics of a British naval officer.
On Friday night last, at half-past ten o'clock, the nista being
pitch dark, with heavy tain. Mr. Rodney Carter, !wife of her
Majesty's ship Daring, and Mr, Richard Carter, mhishipman
of the same ship, were proceeding along the pier at Colum
bine Quay, Cove, in search of a bo,it to get on board, when the
latter gentleman, owing to the extreme darkness of he night,
stepped over the edge of the quay into the water. He was en-
cumbered with a heavy great coat, and not knowing how to
swim a stroke, with a strong ebb title making down, was in the
most imminent danger, when his companion, Mr. Rodney Car-
ter, gallantly plunged in after him, and succeeded in laying
hold of him as be was sinking the second time. By great exer-
tions he contrived to keep his young shipmate's head over
eater
for upwards of ten minutes, until a boat was sent to their assist-
ance from the Peru, where the watch on deck was attracted by
the noise in the water, and lanterns having been procured, both
were rescued from their perilous situation, though considera-
bly exhausted from their long struggle. The gentlemen, we
understand. though namesakes, are not related to each other,
and, considering the imminent peril of his own life Mr. Rodney
Carter incurred, we feel certain that his gallant and meritorious
conduct will not be unappreciated or unacknowledged.—Cork
Southern Reporter.
FEARFUL ACCIDENT.—OD Wednesday evening,
about ten o'clock, a horse and gig belonging to Mr. Ledger, of
Deptford-bridge, surveyor, having been left at the door of a
house in Sydenham, the horse started off at great speed to-
wards Lewisham, and continued at a galloping pace until it
reached the Plough Inn, at the extremity of the latter village, a
distance of four miles, when it came in contact with a strong
wooden fence on the side of the Ravensbourne, which wasbroke
to pieces, and the horse and gig were precipitated a disianee o
eight or ten feet into the water. A dairyman, named Sherman
ran out of the Plough and jumped into the water, and, with
great difficulty and imminent risk, succeeded in releasing the
animal by cutting the harness, &c., and drawing the horse under-
neath the bridge to the opposite side of the road.
TUSSAC GRASS.—We learn that Mr. Matheson, of
Achany, lately imported from the Falkland Islands a quantity
of Tussac grass seed, part of which was sent to the Lewis and
sown in half an acre of deep moss land which had been pur-
posely improved and enclosed by Mr. Nicolson, tacksman of
Coll. The seed was put into the ground about the end of
Juse last, and in 14 days the grass made its appearance, and it
now nearly covers the ground. Although its growth is slow
it is steady, and from the success that has attended this first
experiment, little difficulty is anticipated in raising this grass to
any extent on the moss!andi of the Lewis.—lnverness Courier.
[ADVERTISEMENT"- GENERAL JOSE GONZALVFS
CURED OF A BAD LEG BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT-
NIENT.—The General some time ago received a gun-shot
wound in the leg, which, from neglect and fatigue, assumed an
alarming appearance, there being a sudden outburst of several
ulcers, and, for a time, mortification was seriously apprehended ;
in this alarming state the amputation of the limb was deemed
as absolutely necessary. The General, however, unwilling to
sacrifice his leg, dismissed his doctors, and set about using
nothing else but Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and with
these celebrated remedies he
_perfectly cured himself in five
weeks, and was able to leave London last week for the Con-
tinent. To be had of every medicine vendor, and at the
establishment of the proprietor, 244, Strand, London,
