The inhabitants of North Shields were thrown 

 into great consternation on the night of the 18th 

 of January, on account of most of the large fleet 

 of ships in the port breaking adrift at ebb tide, 

 occasioned by the sudden thaw. To attempt a 

 description of the damage sustained in masts, 

 bowsprits, spars, anchors, cables, &c. &c. is im- 

 possible, as few escaped, less or more, the general 

 ruin. Two vessels sunk in the Narrows. 



As some workmen of R. B. Sanderson, esq. 

 were opening out an old coal shaft at the Mino- 

 ries, near Newcastle, on the lOth of January, they 

 found at the bottom the entire body of a horse f 

 which, on being exposed to the air, mouldered to 

 dust. The colliery, it is supposed, had not been 

 worked for 84 years. 



On the 22d of January, in the night, two men, 

 with women's hats on, and handkerchiefs tied un- 

 der their chins, broke into Miss Town's house, at 

 Throckley Fell, 5 miles from Newcastle, by 

 breaking through the brick wall. They ransacked 

 it completely, and carried off several articles of 

 wearing apparel, and .20 in money. Before 

 they went away, they had the hardihood to sit 

 down to cold beef, and drink a bottle of wine.
