Saturday as two young men were walking in the Swifts, about six o'cleck in the morning, their attention ' was arrested by the cries of a female, which proceeded from behind some :stacks in an adjoining field ; they immediately proceeded to the spot, where they observed four or five fellows treating a woman in A most un manly manner : they were stripping her of her clothes, and had got her plaid from hr r shoulders, when the young men went up to her. The villains fled to avoid detection ; but one of them returned, and offered con siderable resistance, when the young men offered to convey the unfortunate female into town, which, with some difficulty, they ultimately effected. The poor wo man stated tl►at she was going into the fields to reap, and had been set upon by the ruffians, who had forced her from the road, and had torn her clothes very much by their violence, whilst she was making resistance.

NEW RESERVOIR OF THE EAST LONDON WATER WORKS. -.....-. The great increase of building in the eastern part of the Metropolis, as well as in the adjoining villages at Hackney, Stratford, Bow, West Ham, and the vicinity, having tendered the former Reservoir altogether inade. quote for the necessary supply of water, great exertions have been made to remedy the defect. From the diffi culty of obtaining ground on this side of the River Lea, the Directors were obliged to procure some on the other side, and that of a very irregular form, in Bow Marsh, near Old Ford, and have excavated two reservoirs, one about eight acres in extent,and the other three,and which are united together,and communicate with the former re. servoirs,and the steam-engines, by means of an iron gee duct, 3 ft. in diameter, carried across below the bed of the Lea. By the force of the steam engines, the united power of which is equal to that of 230 horses, the water may be raised 150 feet above the level of the Lea—and the reservoirs being ten feet deep, it is estimated that they contain at all times enough to supply the district for ten Idays.ln excavating theßeservoir many Roman antiqui ifs have been discovered, such as swords and coins ; and in the gravel, about nine or ten feet below the surface, were I found bones of horses, stags, goats, and sheep. Some of the stags' horns are of great size. The lowest stratum was found to consist of gravel, eighteen inches in depth; above is a stratum of peat, two feet in depth ; next is a stratum of clay and peat, mixed together ; above which is a stratum of whitish clay, for two or tluee feet ; and at the surface is common clay. Thursday, the ceremony of opening the Reservoir was conducted with great pomp, in the presence of an im mense concourse of spectators. including a larpe portion of the beauty and fashion of the E.g. Mr. Vaux, the Chairman, made a short address, aster which the water was admitted, and, during a royal salute, five decorated with flags, containing the Directors, the Ofh cers, and their fair friends, proceeded through the Re servoir; sometimes in line, sometimes abreast; and also performed various evolutions. A rowing -match then took place between two watermen.—The Directors, after this, went to the old works, on this side of the Lea, and started an engine of 70-horse power ; and concluded the day with an elegant entertainment. ARBRoATR.—A principal officer from the port of London, accompanied by J. %smarms, Esq. one of the Surveyors-General for Scotland, called here on Tuesday, on their rounds through the different ports of Scotland. It is understood their object is to learn what farther reductions can,with safety to the collection of the revenue, be made in the number of officers of Custom... Saturday morning, as two children, belonning to Mr. SWIFT, of carnival's Inn, were looking out of the ta ') pair window, the iron bar that went across gave way, and the youngest, Diana, a fine child, about five years old, fell out, and was unfortunately killed oa the spot. Monday week, Courtney, the Flying•man, made an exhibition of flying across the river Avon, at Bristol ; he descended from Leigh Wood to an anchor sunk in the stream, but owing to some mismanagement he struck his head violently as he came down, and was conveyed to the Infirmary in a state of insensibility, but is es• petted to recover. bluinda Iscrairaanica.—Copper ores sold at Cambore, August 3, 1826, 1,691 tons.
