met in the Market-place, at North Shields. Without
the least provocation, he struck at every person tit at came
in his way, so that the shopkeepers in that quarter were
obliged to put up their shutters, in order to save their
windows. Being a strong, powerful fellow, he was with
considerable difficulty secaied, and sent to the Wiese
of Correction at Tynemouth, where he is perfectly
known.

Mammal's DRAM—Yesterday a man was brought
into the watchhou-e of St. Clement Dinez* parish,
in Portugal-street, apparently in the agonies of death.
Shortly after, he died, and on his person was found
a pill-box, containing some sttong pills of submuriate
of mercury, some of which it is supposed he had had
administered to him in mistake for calomel. The con-
tents of his stomach were taken out by Dr. Cosonavti
with the stomach-pump, and on a chemical inetstiga-
eon, they were found to contain some pills of the same
sort as those found in the pill-box.
DROWNING.—Monday an Inquest was held at the
Dartmouth Arms, Dulwioh, on the body of a yuuug
man, named Thomas Farce, the son of a respect.-
ble tradesman in the neighbourhood. The deceased
and three other youths went to bathe in the Syden
ham Canal ; but the deceased being an indifferent
swimmer, and having got out of his depth, he sunk.
One of his companions, a youth named King,. plunged
in to save him, but the deceased having seized him
11 convulsively, he did not rise. Some labouring melt
shortly afterwards came to the spot, and dived ter the
bodies, which they found grasped together, and brought
up. Medical assistance was instantly procured, and
every means taken to restore the deceased, but without
effect. The other boy who rushed into the water to save
his companion. was suffered to lie on the bank fm
two hours without the slightest attention bestowed.—
Having shewn signs of animation, he was conveyed
home, but he has since become delirious, and serious
apprehensions are entertained for his life. The Jury re-
turned, that the deceased was accidentally drowned.
