PORT OF NEWCASTLE.—Nothwithstanding the general
commercial depression that has prevailed throughout the
country during the past year, the trade of the Port of New-
castle exhibits a gratifying increase, the customs' receipts for
the year ending December 31st being £432,717, which exceed
those of the preceding year by £22,711.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A young girl of about thirteen
years of age, residing at Dunbartown, near Belfast, went to
fetch a kettle of water, on Friday evening last, out of a well
that had been sunk for a pump, but in which there was no
stalk, the aperture being merely covered with a piece of
plank, when it is supposed her foot had slipped, and she was
precipitated to the bottom. When found shortly afterwards
she was quite dead.

A poor woman of Quievy, in the Nord, found, a few days
am°, while going along the road, a portmanteau containing
7,000 f. Having carried it home, and giving notice of what
she had, the owner entered in a very short time, made his
claim good, and had the whole delivered up to him untouched.
With a spirit of avaricious meanness, hn presented the honest
restorer of his lost treasure with two sous ! saying, " This
will buy you a cup of coffee!
