pumps were immediately set on ; and the water, which was rushing
into the vessel through the port, tried to Imstopped, both front the
cot and inside of the vessel, with such articles as we thought of and

the utter impossibility of saving the vessel, the boats were launched
off the deck. The crew were obliged to betake themselves to the
boats without being able to save an article. Immediately after
hoeing off the boats, and in about half an hour after being
struck, the vessel sunk. We then directed our course in the: bous

MAIDSTONE, JULY 10.

Sunday morning, as the soldiers of the Cavalry depot
in this town were bathing in the Medway, two of them
undertook to convey across Serjeant Watson, who could
not swim. By some accident, when they arrived at the
middle of the river, the Serjeant slipped from his sap.
porters and sank to the bottom ; as he did not rise,
great alarm was instantly excited, and whether the other
men were unable to swim, or did not like to venture to
dive, we know not, but they only cried out lustily, thit
by the "Holy Shannon," the Serjeant would he drowned.
A barge came up at the time, and passed over where he
had sunk. In the dismay some one called to O'Neil,
a recruit, who had been only a few days in the garrison,
who, with the utmost rapidity, flew to the spot, dashed
into the water, and diving to where the man was sop
posed to lay, found bim on his back with his arms es.
tended and senseless. O'Neil, with considerable dd.
culty, forced the body to the surface of the water, and
with those on the bank got ii out, when he employed
such active and judicious means as in a short time pro-
duced signs of returning animation: the Serjeant was
then taken to the hospital, and, in the course of the day,
became completely restored. In the a ternonn, at a
muster of the, garrison, the Commandant (Sir Jahn
Brown,) called O'Neil out, and in a most animated
manner praised his gallant conduct, which, he said,
reflected the highest honour on him, and Sir John told
him he should endeavoar to procure from the Humane
Society a reward for him, to which he was justly en-
titled. Some of O'Neil's comrades afterwards made a
subscription for him, which they compelled him to ac-
cept, as a mark of their sense of his conduct.—Mad-
stone Gazette.

A fowling piece was stolen from the house of Mr.
Wu. HERON, of Morpeth, about eight years ago, and
about two years afterwards set down at his back door,a
;Tittle injured. Much to Mr. HERON'S surprise, he re•
ceived an anonymous letter on the 20th inst. enclosing a
note as a recompense for the injury.
A Gentleman was waited upon by four woßmen,
L usually emplayed by Mm, at Whitsunday last, who presented their
compliments to him, and pm him in mind at; their New Year's gifts
which be had wisely advised them to put off till the tam, as they
would at that time be of greater use to them. Well, my lath, said
the Gentleman, here are your gifts, choose one guinea or a bible !
I canna read vera weel," said the first, " jest tat the
tiller " I can read weel eneuch, and hae a bible at bame,"
said the second. " but my rents to pay," and he took the gui-
nea ; the third also made the same choice. He, ow came to

Gentleman looked at hint with an air of goodness, and aside"
Johnny, will you take the tiller, a thing which you can get any
time by your industry 7" " Wed, Sir, as you say it's a semi book,
tak it Name and read it to my wither, for she bliti and I
dinna think we have shook of that name at hame." He took the
bible, opened it, and found between the leaves four one-pound
notes. The others hung down their heads, and the Gentleman
old he was sorry they had not made a better ehotte.—Gla•

proprietor of an eating-house in Soho, and I homes Me.
lotus, a constable, were indicted for assaulting and
falsely imprisoning Wm. Matthews, a butcher. The

not like what was cut for him, objected to it 03
which the latter collared and struck him serval
times, and ultimately sent him to St. Ann's wed"
house, where Mellows was the night constable, and by
whose order the prosecutor was locked up in the strong•
room, and for a considerable time bail was refusei.-..
Under the direction of the CHAIRMAN, the Jury
per

ratted Mellows, but found Matthews Guilty, who
sentenced to pay a fine of 51. to the King.
