December 19. 8—6t MISCELLANY Some extraordinary instances oi abstinence are recorded in Medical works, but we do not recollect anv, that in all respects can be compared with this : “ Ann Moore aged 48, now living at Tutbury, m Staffordshire, lias swallowed no kind of food whate- r, either solid or fluid for the last two years and a half. Her appetite began to decline about seven years ago, in consequence of a weak di gestion, and in March, 1807, the passage to her stomach became com pletely closed, so as not to admit of her swallowing a single drop of wa ter ; from the pit of her stomach downwards she is a mere skeleton, notwithstanding which her counte nance is perfectly cheerful, and has the appearance of good health. So late as last Sunday she was visited by the writer of this article and was then in excellent spirits, and felt no pain whatever, except a slight shoot ing over her forehead ; she has been offered £ 1000 to visit the metropo lis, and though poor, she declines leaving her home & friends. She ne ver sleeps, but amuses herself by read ing all night, Sc receiving the visits of vast numbers who daily flock to her humble roof. Her memory is ama zingly retentive, and she feels no in convenience but from the approach of persons who have been drinking- spirits, which affects her much. Nu merous medical men have gone from London, to behold this wonderful phenomenon, and on examination are fuiiy convinced, from her ap pearance, that no imposition whate ver has been practised.” CLondon Morning Herald Something Singular.

On the thin day, the gale abating, and the wen .her growing moderate, we cut th' shrouds, and cleared away the masi trom the wreck, she nearly right cd, but was full of water. On th sixth day after being on the wreck we saw a ship, which hoisted Ameri can colours and bore down, we sup posed to our assistance, but at sun set she lost sight of us—the sbij stood by us all the night, during which time we could distinctly se. her, though it is believed we were not seen by those on board of her— about day-light, a severe gale sprur. up, and the ship losing sight of us iroceeded on her course* \\ r e saw several other vessels pass us, bu not near enough to be hailed.
