Lis morning a most unexampled scene of distress tonk place on our coast. Tire early part of the night of Tuesday (yesterday) being uncommonly calm and serene, almost all the herring boats from the Ord to Wick put out to sea. About midnight, the wind veer ing to the south, blew a tremendous gale; hardly an) ot the boats had been able to find shelter during the night, and but iew of them, even so late as seven ecinck this morning, had succeeded in gaining the /:,i; boor I,f Wick, or any of the creeks to the south of u. Soon after this hour, a boat from Forse, with Lim men on board, swamped within about 200 yards of the mouth of this creek, situated nearly three miles to 1. - t north of Clythness. In an hour after, the-sink ing boat was dashed on the face of a rock, ard the ui.vrtunate wretches were for an instant seen faintly struggling for their lives in the waves, within twenty yards of numerous seafaring men_ looking on with :.: - .e coldest apathy and indifference. A boat from Clyth perished near Ulbster, with all ca beard, including a father and two sons. At this very moment, Tour o'clock, the wind blows mast tremendously from the S.W. and some boats have been seen out at sea holding on by their nets, wbith i: is to be feared may be overwhelmed by the continuance and increa,ing severity of the gale.

(Front the Southampton Canny Otron:cle of yesterday.) A gentleman, who arrived by the Prince Cobourg, Ham Parket, this atoning, brings intelligence of the almost total de" etructiost of Roues Cathedral, an floaday bet. It was set on fire by lightning about free o'clock is the morning, and continued burning till the evening of the same day, when the fire was ap parently extinguished, but shortly afterwards broke out again with redoubled fury, and was still raging ea Monday morning, when our Worn:rant left Rouen. At that time the flames had extended themselves over the greater part of this once splendid edince;and the great dome had fallen in with a tremendous crash. Several houses in the vicinity have also been destroyed. The most strenuous efforts of the firemen could effect nothing against such a mass of fire ; and, indeed, the melted lead, which ran in torrents from the roof, r.rndered a near approach to the building very hazardous. It is said, that several persons lost their live, though nothing certain has yet reached us. The storm of thunder and lightning which was the cause of this catastrophe was one of the most terrible ever witnessed. It afterwards visited ' Havre-de-Grace, where it is said to have done some damage. The following historical particulars, respecting Rouen Cathe dral, may not prove unacceptable to our readers : It was founded, A. 13. 990, by Robert, Archbishop of Rouen, brother of Richard the Second, Duke of Normandy, but was not finished till the year 1054. It was 410 feet in length, 85 in breadth, the length of the cross-aisles was 164 feet, and the height of the spire 595 feet. There were seven entrances to it, and 159 windows. It was one of the most costly and mapilicent Gallic structures ever seen ; it was literally frosted with ornaments: there was nut the smallest piece of stone, not the back of a niche, nor the base of a figure, but was covered. with the finest Gothic work. In it were interred the bodies of John, Duke of Bedford, Regent of France ; Henry, brother of al.:hoed I. and the heart of Richard Canr-ile-Lion, together with many other illustrious wen. At half-past nine o'clock on Saturday evening a destructive fire broke nut in a large hop stowage be. longing to J. Ennis, Esq. situated at the hack of Hall place, Harming. The flames spread with the greatest rapidity, and it was much feared that the extensive oasthouse atijuining, which was connected with it by a covered platform, would fall a prey to the devour ing element, but fortunately the platform was re moved before the flames reached it, and, although the oasthouse had at one time caught fire, it was soon extinguished, and the building was preserved, prin cipally owing to a small engine kept on the premises. The flames by this time had communicated to a cot tage adjoining the stowage, from whence it soon spread to the back part of Hall-place,which was very shortly in a complete blaze. At this juncture the Kent engines arrived from Maidstone, and were soon followed by the Norwich Union, but (owing to the want of water, which was only to be obtained from pumps and wells at a distance off) they were unable to work for some time, and then only at intervals, as the engines could get filled. Owing to this circum stance the fire was a long time betore it could be get , under, and it was principally owing to the very thick walls of this ancient mansion that the flames were I prevented from extending. Had they communicated to a waggon-lodge at the west end of the house, the greater part of the builcliugs in the yard, with seve ral houses in the street, must inevitably have been destroyed, as the wind set completely in that direction. It was three o'clock before all apprehension for their safety was removed. The whole of the stowage building, containing eight tons of hops, packed and unpacked, together with a cottage adjoining, were entirely consumed. Hall-place (formerly the resi dence of JOHN CALL Esq. but for many years occu pied by Mr. PtLcuEn, as a school) was the greater part destroyed, scarcely anything bat the bale walls and chimnies being left standing. The fire is sup posed to have originated from a lighted candle falling I amongst the hops as they were being packed. The premises, with the hops, &c. in :he stowage, were itr sured ; but we renet to state that the furniture be longing to Mr. FILCHER was no:; much of which was injured and destroyed, and several articles of value stolen, among which were two watches. The damage in the whole is estimated at between P2OOO and 1.::$000. We cannot close this account without a.iverting to a subject which we fain would have spared—we allude to the apathy and indifference. with which hundreds of the hop-pickers and others stood by and witnessed the conflagration, without off :ring, a hand to suppress it, and who, when en treated so to do, with jeers and smiles refused. We know not of what materials beings can be composed, who could thus silently gaze and appear pleased at the destruction of others' property, and who, had they exerted themselves a little, might have saved much of that which was consumed. Amongst this number, we are sorry to say, were many whose dialect told Ifs tbev were from that country, to relieve the wants of v.-hose starving people the beneficence of England has been lately so munificently bestowed. We should have thought that gratitude alone would have stimu lated these to have lent their assistance at such a perilous time.—Maidstone Journal. Wednesday morning one of the Bristol coaches was upset between Keynsham and Bristol, and a gentleman, named HAMILTON, killed on the spot. Friday last, a man in the employ of Mr. Plaxton, farmer, of Weel, near Beverley, took his master's son, aged about four years, with him in the waggon to the harvest-field, and when the carriage was loaded, in cautiously placed the child on the fore-part, behind the horses, from whence he was soon thrown, and one of, tlle wheels passing over him, he was killed on the spot.' The following was written on the back of a £l9, Bank of England note, which, among others, was re ceived by a tradesman in Oxford-street last week, and may serve as a monitor to other prodigals of the present day : " Let those into whose heads this note may pass sympathise with him from whom it is just going,; it is the lust not of S,DhOL which, lathe short period of two years, his folly has dissipated : but he will severely saber, and *hardy too." Saturday next, being St. Matthew's Day, according to annual custom, the Lotto AlAeos, Aldermen, She riffs, and Governors of the several Hospitals will at tend Divine Service at Christ Church; after a Sermon by the Rev. %Vat. litsnov.s HATNE, A.M. they will adjourn to the Great Hail in Christ's Hospital,where two Orations will be delivered—in Latit, by SArrost: HINOESTOIR, in Eligii%ll by JOSHUA NW-mu, the two' senior scholars of the Gramma: bcilool. NORRIBLE FlOll Telt IMMIX JOURNAL OF aternwera 16. Friday evening, some bailiffs having a writ against an individual aimed Walter Irwin, accompanied by M'Clinnick, who, it is said, represented the person who had marked decoction, repaired to Bar rack-street, for the purpose of assessing Irwin ; a scuffle is stated to have taken *arm * in which the un fortunate Irwin received two desperate wounds fiom a sharp instrument; the captors sawed him, and in this state lodged him in the Sheriffs' Prison. At first it was conceived that his hurts were not dangerous; mortal symptoms, however, quickly appeared; and the dying man declared, in the presence of peace officer Phillips, of blonntradeotreet division, 4 ‘ that he knew a man named James Bowles, who (he declared) had stabbed him in the groin with a dirk; he also knew another person named Connell, who had at the same time stabbed him with some sharp weapon in the breast: a man called M'Cormick had a pistol in his hand ;and another, named Hetherington, a sword, when he (Irwin) was assailed, but he could not say whether the two latter had struck at him or not."— Shortly after this declaration he breathed his last. Warrants were immediately is,ued for the arrest of the four just named. They were handed to peace officer Philips, who took two or three assistants with him, and went in search of M'Cormick, to his resi dence in Barrack -street; he was denied there at first, and was subsequently warned not to go up stairs, for if he did, M•Corsnick was provided with a brace of pi-toll and swords, and would assuredly blow his brains out. The determined and active officer de manded his prisoner, and on threatening to force hi., way through all impediments, the doer was opened, and MiCormick yielded himself. The other persons included in the warrant were taken in Charles-street, whence one man made an ineffectual attempt to escape through a b.tck door. All the prisoners were safely lodged in Newgate. At one o'clock yesterday, Alderman Jones, as Co- roner, attended the Sheriff's Prison, in the Chapel of which a Jury was summoned, and an Inquest held. Mr. R. Sennet attended as Agent far the prosecution, and Mr. T. Taafe on behalf of the prisoners. Surgeon strokes proved that the deceased had died i= conse quence of wounds iraiicted on him by sharp instruments. Denis O'Loughlin was next examined—He said that he con ducted business for Mr. M'Caem, in Barrack -street, and that he saw a great tumult ottside the door on Friday evening after tea; he Identified Bowles and Connell (who are under bailiffs) as haviug been then present; Hetherington and WCormick were likewise there: be said he observed the deceased ; saw him stab bed with a bayonet, &c. and by persons wisom he would know azsin. Bowies desired witness "to hop off, for that Irwin was his prisoner." Irwin refused to go with the men who held him ; his hands were then bleeding ; one of the bailiffs swore most vio lently that, if he would not go to prison with him, they would murder him. Peace-officer Phillips was next exatnined.—Tie deposed as to the declaration of the deceased previous to his death, it was in substance as above. Alderman Jos deprecated in strong terms the bar bareus conduct of the bailiffs to:Yards their wre:ched prisoner—at the same time animadverted on the ne cessity of due submission to the laws in all cases, where actions were marked against debtors, and in conclu sion, told the Jury that having been assembled only for the purpose of inquiring how the deceased came by his death, he conceived that little difficulty op posed itself to conviction in the case then under their consideration. The body of the deceased was examined, and the two ghastly wounds inspected. The prisoners were in the room during the Inquest, and were heard iu their defence, they were then with drawn to Newgate, and after sonic short delibera tion, the Jury found the following verdict We find that the deceased Walter Irwin, came by his death inconsequence of wounds inflicted on him with some sharp instrument, by James Bowles and James Connell, and that William Hetherington and Hugh M , Cormick, were, during part cf the time present, armed with a cane-sword, and pistol." A few days since, a young lady, named Term Nowlan, was committed tor having taken a hat from the head of Mr. M'Currnick, and ran into Pye-corner ith it. When taken she declared, "on her honour, it was only a joker—Dublin Paper. A VERY LARGE Fisu.—Saturday last, a fish weigh ing two tons, got amongst the rocks on Killiney shore, where atter ineffectual efforts to regain the deep water, it was at length exhausted, and was taken possession of by the country people when nearly dead. Crowds assemble to view it, notwithstanding that 10d. admission is demanded. In length it is 21 feet, and is very full about the middle, probably eight feet in girth. FARSIMOYY v. PRODIGALITY.—A person of rather singular habits, well known by the name of Dicky Willan, has been in the neighbourhood of Witherslack, Westmorland, for some years, and is at present lodg ing at Matthew Martindale's, of Uipha, reaping corn ' for James Thotnlinson. He regularly reaps, binds, and shocks between 35 and 40 hattocks per day ; and, what is still more remarkable, he lives upon nothing but meal and water. He takes with him to the field a small bag of :teal, and a tin can; and when hungry, he repairs to the nearest pool or ditch, and then he revels in luxury over a new-made can of o:udy ! About three years ago, he reared for Mr. W. Stockdale, of Witherslack Hall, 42 or 43 hattocks per day—his diet meal and water, his bed the hay mow. It is certainly worthy of notice, that when this singular being has earned five or ten pounds, he re sorts to some public-house, and then makes merry with his neighbours till all is expended. It is not uncommon, at those times, to see a bottle of gin, a bottle of rum, and a bottle of brandy, all on the table at once ; and the little man urging his companions to drink. When these revels are over, he returns peaceably to his labour, living upon meal and, water, and sleeping in outhouses, till his purse is once more replenished. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.. Yesterday Jain Clienibers, and Eli Huai, were charged at Bow street, with killing a dog, the property es !ii Inksou, of York place, tilaettei IUS. Ou Saturday afternoon the prisoners, and sense other carmen, were driving along the Bromptora-road, and amusing themselves with hone-whipping every dug that came within reach. Mr. Inkson came out of his house at the moment t hey were passing, accompanied by a-favaiuite little doz, which ran into the road, and immediately received so severe a whip ping from the prisoners that it could barely crawl. Their Com panions in the rear, as they successively came np, also bestow_.: their Luke., and at length the pour animal ran miner 1 Wheel and was crushed to death. IL lawn said he would not have lost 1 the dog fur X5O.
