A vicious Burt—A very respectable man, named
Maitland, farmer, in Quarry of Laithers, ritar Tur-
riff, while leading a bull to Bartle-fair, on Friday
week, was attacked by the icfuriated animal, and
tossed in the air to a considerable height, by which
he was so dreadfully injured, that he died in a few
minutes. The bull then ran at a boy 'WhOpetOinini,•
nied Mr. Maitland, and, but for the intervention of
seine people, who witnessed the shocking catoltoophe
from an adjoining field, and drove away thelniTal,"
it is probable he would have shared the tablet:ate.
A shocking catastrophe occurred tti theee zotmg
men of the names of Head, Wilson, and raw, be-
low the Tower, near Rotherbithe shore,.on Monday
evening. They had taken a boat with two other
men from Lambeth, and in passing the tier of shipr
ping, the boat got tinder the bow of a fishing snack
uni.cr weigh, and was inktantly suoic. The persons
whose names are mentioned were drowned, but the
other two were saved by, the ..bands 00 4pard• the
smack. Kitson was an expert swimmer, but the sur-
vivors suppose that he was stunned by the smack._
They had all been drinking freely.
