Newly. The hounds crossed the river Urc,
nearly opposite Newly House, the residence
of Lady Mary Vyner, and sixteen or seven
teen gentlemen entered large ferry boat,
with their horses, for the purpose of con-
tinuing the pursuit Before the boat had
got one-third over the stream, one Of the
horses began to plunge, and something like
a panic among the animals took place. The
boat was swayed first to one side and then
to the other, and finally it was capsized and
turned bottom upwards. The spectators on
the bank took prompt measures to rescue
the persons who were thus plunged into the
swollen river. Those who could thus swim
cast OIL their coats and plunged in to save
their friends, whilst others formed lines of
whips tied together, and threw them within
reach of the drowning men. Several beams
or wood, which fortunately lay scattered
ABOUT, were also quickly launched on the
stream. By these means several lives were
saved, but six of the party were unhap PLY

DEAR SIR: have made 4 chemical cxaminatio

the intent of determining if any foreign
substance had been added to the simple distilled
spirits.

for medicinal purposes, has bc long felt by the
profession, and thousands of lives have been sac
rlhcedby the uso of adultcratcl artclea Dclirium
tremens and other diseases of the brain and
nerves, 80 rife in this country arc very rare in
Europe; owing in great degree, to the difference
in the purity of the spirits sold.
We have tested tho several articles imported
ana sold by you, including YOUR Gin Which Won
sell under the namo of Aromatic Schiedam
Schnapps, which we consider Justly entitled to the
high reputation it has acquired in this country;
and, from Your long experience foreign i'm
porter, your Bottled Wines and Liquors should
meet with the same demand.
We would recommend YOU to appoint some of
the respectable apothccarics in different parts of

and Wines, where tho profession can obtain the
same when needed for medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success IN your new enterprise we
remain yonr obedient servants.
