    On wednesday last, Mr Christopher Preswick of Whitby, a Gentleman whose excellent qualities eminently endeared him to a numerous circle of friends and acquaintance. He lost his life in the humane attempt to rescue from drowning a person whom he observed borne away by a current formed by the outset of the tide round a bank, into which he had been inadvertently drawn in the exercise of bathing. In the effort used by both parties on this occasion, Mr P. was borne off his feet into the current, and both unfortunately perished before assistance could reach them. The name of the other unfortunate sufferer was Paul Stott, of Kirby, late of Whitby, brazier. -- The loss of an individual of the humane and enterprising spirit of Mr Preswick, will be severely felt and deeply regretted at Whitby, the place of his nativity and residence.
