EFFECTS OF THE HIGH WINDS.

At eight o'clock yesterday morning, part of an additional
building erecting at Mr. Ridley's Moor-cloth-manufactory,
Islington, was blown down. The workmen had providen-
tially left a few minutes before, to go to their breakfast,
and the buihling being at a distant part of the premises,
and quite detached from any other, no further injury than
its own fall was sustained, or any impediment occasioned
to the business of the factory.
During the whole of Wednesday night and yesterday
the wind blew a heavy gale from the west ; much damage
was done at the east end of the metropolis, many streets
being strewed with tiles and chimney-pots. At Mile-end,
New-town, a watchman was stunned for some time by the
falling of a chimney-pot, his hat (a glazed one) being cut
through the crown. At Hoxton, on the New North-road,
some new paling, in front of garden ground, was blown ,
down to the extent of thirty yards: - Below London-bridge, I
much damage has been done, by-Craft and boats drifting ;
a barge, laden with coal, was driven athwart one of the
=mall arches of London-bridge, but was towed off at the
OA tide ; she sustained considerable damage.
At ten o'clock yesterday morning a chimney-pot was
blown off one of the houses on Ludgate-hill ; luckily it
struck the coping-stone in its descent, and fell in fragments,
passing over the heads of 14 persons in the street.

ST. KATNARIN DOCUI.—In clearing the ground
preparatory to the construction of these docks, it has
been necessary to pull down the church of St. Katharine,
one of the most ancient structures in tile metropolis. 'rhe
workmen are now engaged In removing the tombs and
monuments in the church and cemetery adjacent. Already
they have commenced the work of destruction upon the
tomb of the Duke of Exeter, grandson of Edward the
I First, who was 6xheaded about four hundred years ago.
On opening the vault, three stone coffins of rude workman-
ship were discovered, two of which are supposed to have con-
tained the bodies of the Duchess and one of their children ;1
of tzhom, however, no traces remained. On removing the
lid of the third, (that of the Duke) several of the bones
were found. The skull was found entire, with the teeth
still fixed in their places, sound and quite perfect, and the
enamel not in the slightest degree impaired by time.
Mairreas AND SeRVANIA.—By an Act of Parliament
passed on the 17th June, 1823, intituled, " An Act to
enlarge the powers of Justices in determining complaints
between Masters and Servants, and between Masters and
Apprentices, Artificers, and others," it appears that in ease
any servant, after being hired, shall refuse to come into his
or her service, the masteror mistress has no reniedy against
the servant, eccept Me coqract
.for Airing is redacad into
toritilg, and signed by the contracting parties.
