able fall of snow in the lower parts of Cambridge and Huntingdonshires, where the frost was so severe as to destroy all the crops of cucumbers and French beans in the extensive market-gardens round the city of Ely.

3. Ramsgate.-Along the northeastern coast, the wind during the night of Saturday and Sunday blew a perfect hurricane from the N. and N. N. W. and caused the heaviest and highest sea, although a dead neap tide on Sunday morning, that has been known for some years; and sinking and beating to pieces several large boats at Hearn-bay, and dashing with violence against the terrace in front of the buildings at the east end of the Bay: so high a tide, with the exception of one spring tide, is not within the recollection of the oldest inhabitant of that part of the coast. -About noon on the same day, a fine outwardbound ship of 500 tons (the Henry, of London), for New Brunswick and Jamaica, which, after parting from one anchor, had rode out the gale during the night off the entrance of the Narrows, at the ebbing of the tide drove from a second anchor; and after beating about for some time with a signal of distress flying, grounded on the main in Hearn-bay, where, the wind moderating, she lay in safety, while a lugger from Whitstable, which had proceeded to her aid, obtained another anchor and cable from Margate. A brig, which it is supposed was foreign, from her having a Danish ensign hoist ed in the shrouds, was also observed early in the morning in

distress, but drove before the wind to the eastward before any assistance could reach her.

5. The Lord Mayor, in his endeavours to check the abuses of Bartholomew fair, spent the greater part of Tuesday and last night himself, aided by the marshals, city officers, &c. and succeeded in establishing a cessation of every species of disorder by 12 o'clock. Not a public-house or show was found open after that hour.

9. An account has been received from the mate of the Creole schooner, arrived off Dover from Smyrna, that on his passage two of the crew nailed him up in his cabin, while they murdered Captain Johnson, and threw him overboard, wrapped up in square-sail. After a considerable confinement he got to speak to the boy, and learned that the two men, of the names of Turner and Smith, had possession of the ship, and were about to murder him (the Mate), whom they had determined to hang; but the boy told him, that himself and a man of the name of Masson were determined to stand by him, if he (the Mate) would attempt to recover the ship. Soon afterwards the Mate was taken upon deck, and had his hands tied, and was made fast to a staunchion. The two mutineers had then possession of about 600 doubloons, which they had taken from the Captain's drawers. In the evening they began to quarrel about what should be done with the ship, and the Mate, contriving to get loose, suddenly seized a musket, which he knew to be loaded, and put it to Smith's ear, while Masson at

tacked the other, and thus regained possession of the ship, which has passed Dover, on her way to Standgate-creek, whence the murderers will be brought in custody to London.

At Devonton colliery, in consequence of the rope being by accident thrown off the pully of the fly-jack, as the tub was descending, its contents, consisting of four persons, a husband and wife, a father and daughter, thrown to a great distance. The young woman was killed on the spot, the two men died a few hours after the accident, and the wife was so severely injured that her life is still despaired of.

10. Munich.-The Atheneum which has been founded here by Professor Thierseh, for the education of young Greeks, goes on successfully. There are already young men there from Greece Proper, from the Islands, Asia, Moldavia, and Wallachia; among them are the sons of the first families; for example, a nephew of Archbishop Ignatio, a grandson of the late Prince of Moldavia, three brothers of the illustrious name of Comneni, whose family have retired within these few years from the Archipelago to Taganrok, on the Don.

11. Dover.-Yesterday morning the wind blew uncommonly hard from the westward, with a very heavy sea running in the offing, in which a boat called the Po, belonging to the south end of Deal, was lying to, waiting for ships coming up Channel, when, about 10 o'clock, a heavy sea took her on her broadside, and the ballast rolling forward, she went down stern-foremost, with

six men on board. The moment the accident was observed from hence, several intrepid boatmen lost no time in putting off to their. assistance, and happily succeeded, although the accident took place at the distance of more than two miles from the shore, in rescuing four persons from a watery grave, whose names are Geo. Jarman, Solomon Walker, James Tomlin, and James Agar, who had clung to the oars and spars: the two other persons who composed the crew, viz. John Lambert and Matson Terry, being so exhausted with wet and cold, could not keep their hold till the boat reached them, were unfortunately drowned, one leaving a wife and child. Too much praise cannot be given to our boatmen for the alacrity with which they went off to rescue their fellow-creatures from death. A liberal subscrip tion has been opened for the unfortunate sufferers, which we hope will be extended to the boatmen who were so zealous in risking their own lives.

13. In the evening about seven o'clock, as a party of 14 persons were returning in a boat through Rochester-bridge, it was unfortunately upset, and every soul perished.

The persons composing this truly distressing scene had been, early in the afternoon, to Wouldham, a little village between this place and Maidstone, to take tea, and on their return were to have partaken of a little treat in commemoration of the birth-day of a Mr. Gilbert, who then completed his 21st year. They were accompanied by one of the most skilful and sober watermen on

he took to selling oysters in the streets and neighbouring publichouses; that on the preceding evening he was prevented from following this business by the street-keeper, who threatened to throw his oysters about the street, and take him to the watch-house. The unfortunate man, who had previously shown several symptoms of mental derangement, went home in a fit of desperation, and taking his oyster tub, dashed it and its contents up against the ceiling; then taking an old rusty gun-barrel, he loaded it, and placing the muzzle of it to his head, he put the breech end into the fire, on which it exploded and blew his head to atoms. The report brought the inmates to the room, who found him a corpse. Verdict-Lunacy.

14. On this evening, about seven o'clock, as Mr. James Sharp, of Great Winchester-street, was proceeding to Wrotham, Kent, in company with his brother, in a one-horse chaise, they were stopped near the 23-mile stone by seven men, who presented pistols, and took from them a Russia leather pocket-book, containing memorandums, a green morocco pocket-book, a steel purse, a 51. Bank of England note, three 11. notes, two dollars, two watches, with chains, seals, &c. On Messrs. Sharp's arrival at Wrotham, they gave intelligence of the robbery to the Rev. Mr. Moore, a magistrate of the county, who immediately dispatched a large party in quest of the robbers. The men divided them

selves into two bodies, and agreed to meet at Grinsted-green, near Dartford, at six o'clock on Sunday morning. The first party of constables who got to Grinstedgreen overtook five of the footpads, and at first succeeded in taking them, but they soon began to show symptoms of resistance, and a severe scuffle took place. After fighting a long while, the footpads got the best of it, and all escaped. One of the thieves received a charge from a gun in the back; and one of the constables was severely cut in the arm. The two guns belonging to the constables were broken to pieces during the contest; and there was found on the spot the Russia leather pocket-book belonging to Mr. Sharp, containing one 51. and one 11. note, a bag containing three loaded pistols, a powder-flask, and sundry articles of wearing apparel, all which were thrown down by the robbers in the midst of the affray. other party of constables were still in pursuit, and it is hoped will secure this daring gang. There is a great deal of wood in the part where the constables overtook them, which materially assisted them in their escape.
