A few days ago a tiger of the moft ferocious kind broke look from his keepers, and gm into Stannington wood, between Newcaftle and WI.pcth : nltwithftanding every endeavour has been ufed to find and fecure him, he has not yet been taken.  On the 2 1 R ult. a very alarming fire took place at Fochabers. A little before eight o'clock, at night, the liable, &c. of Vr. Smith, vintner, were difcovered to be on fire. Upon the alarm bell being rung, immediate affiance was given, both' by the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, who exerted themfelves in the molt attire manner, yet it was with the greateft difficulty, from the rage of the flames, any of the range of buildings could be Caved, and, next to a miracle, the hones were got out with fafety, the (tables being involved in flames before affillance could be given. Great praife is juftly due to both the inhabitants and neighbourhood of Fochabers, for their fpirited ex! ertions, as not only Mr. Smith's houfe was in immediate danger, but that whole quarter of the town. We are forry to add to the catalogue of human depravity by the difcovery of an unoffending murdered infant. On Sunday laft, in the afternoon, as the fon of a Mr. Banteni, of Battle-bridge, was walking in a field, juft at the back of Pentonville, he obferved his <log tearing up the earth ; the animal drew him to the fpot, and refuming his labour for a lima time. brought forth a child, wrarped in flannel, which was covered by a rough piece of leather. The lad called fome perfons 1 who were near, and upon examination it appeared to be about ten weeks old, and to have received much violence upon its head. From its putrid Date, it is fuppofed to have lain there near three weeks. It was removed in a (hell to, a convenient place, until the coroner's inqueft could be fummoned.  A Swimmaii.—On Tuefday laft, a young xnan geutcely dreffed, went into the Inn at Roflin, near Edinburgh, and got breakfaft, after which he told the landlord he would take a walk, and be back to dinner. He returned molt pundually, dined, and drank a bottle of Madeira, after which he again walked out, leaving word he would return in a fhort time. The landlord, however, had begun to entertain fume fufpicion of his guell, and accordingly ordered a fervant to follow him at a diftance. He did fo, and foon obferved he was making off ; upon which the fervant run up to him, and alked why he was going away without paying his bill ? The fellow without anfwering a word, immediately pulled two piliols from his pocket, and attempted to fire one of them at the fervant, but providentially it miffed fire, and the fervant infiantly ran forward and fei zed fiim.  He was brought to Edinburgh on Wednefday, and committed to prifon. We are informed his father is a man of molt refpeetable character in that city,and that he has formerly info-cc' fcverely • .•  • Bußr ST.
