An extraordinary preservation front destruction.—About three weeks oinee, as a servant of Mr. R. Turner, farmer, of Stanford le-Hope, in the county of Essex, was riding a horse belonging to his master, in a field at West Thurrock, in the same county, the animal shyed at something in the way, and backing with his rider, fell into an old well in the field, which had not been sufficiently closed, and was only covered with bushes. In his fall, he, of course, went down backwards, with the servant upon his back. To the astonishment of every person who saw the circumstance, the young man, with great agility, cleared his feet from the stirrups, climbed upwards, by means of the horse's head,. and got out of the well unhurt. The horse was so terribly bruised, and at the same time so completely wedged into the well, that it was impossible to get him out alive, ►e was left there, and the well filled up over him. SHOCKING 011TRA G C.—We have the painful duty to record a very aggravated and brutal outrage. Mr. and Mrs. Townsley, of the Crown Inn, Leeds, having spent the evening with a friend, were returning home about eleven o'clock in the evening of Sun day sennight, when they were met near Nether Mills, and at tacked by . three men, who instantly knocked them both down, and one of Mrs. Townsley's legs was fractured by the fall; her husband hastened to afford her assistance, but this these ruffians were determined to prevent, and by most horrid imprecations and threats of murder. obliged him to leave bis wife in their hands. He immediately hastened to the house of a friend for assistance, and during the short absence, these miscreants treated this tortured and helpless woman in a manner equally offensive to delicacy and humanity, and effected their escape before her husband was able to arrive with proper assistance. Mrs Towni ley was conveyed with all possible care to her own house, and the must able surgical aid was immediately procured. We un derstand her leg was so dreadfully fractured, that the profes sional gentleman who attended her reamannended immediate am putation as the the only probable means of saving her life. This operation she has hitherto declined to submit to, and she now • lies in a state of extreme danger. John Knowles, one of the persons charged with being concerned in this cruel outrage, wai apprehended on Monday se'onight. The examination took place before a Magistrate on the same day. It appeared from the evidence then adduced, that Mr. • and Mrs Tow nsley had been spending the evening at Mr. Ken dal's, the Turk's Head Lou, at the Bank, had that the Prisoner came to the same house, and persisted in intruding into their party ; a scuffle in consequence took place between him and the son-in-law of Townley, and Mrs. Townsley interfering in fa vour of the latter, tore the ruffle of the Prisoner's shirt, at which he expressed great resentment, and soon after left the house, with two men who had come in with him, and whoappeared to be of his party. This was about ten o'clock at night. The Prisoner denied all knowledge of the assault, and said be was at his own house in Hunsiet-lane, a few minutes after eleven o'clock, but he called no evidence in support of this allegation. The Prisoner was committed to the Borough Gaol. Cattle Life Insurance Company, Instituted 1809. Capital 580.0001. Office, Skinner-street.
