DREADFUL OUTRAGE ON A FEMALE.—Yesterday after-
noon considerable excitement prevailed in the neighbour.
hood of the Broadway, Westminster, in consequence of
its being reported that a woman had been murdered in
Peter-street, by a man with whom she had lived as his
wife. From inquiries made on the spot, the reporter
ascertained that a married man named Cox, a well-sinker,
and residing in Ship-court, Horseferry.road, Westmin-
ster, was drinking in a public-house in Great Peter- street,
when a woman, named Weaver, living in Duck-lane,
Westminster, with whom Cox had been on terms of great
familiarity, came in, and after conversing some little
cries of the unfortunate
gf
her upon various
p
time, some angry words arose, and Cox told her to leave
the place. He came out, and the woman persisting in fol-
lowing him, was struck a violent blo w , and knocked down,

to her assistance, and
her assailant was prevented from inflicting any further
blows on her at that time. The woman, however, con-
tinued to follow him up the street, and threw a stone at
him, which, however, missed Cox, but passed through a
window in the shop-front of Mr. Richardson, a baker.
It appears that Cox then became very excited, and rush-
ing after the woman, some say he knocked her down,
and kicked her with all his might in the forehead, and
others, that he struck her only with his clenched fist, but
it is evident that the blow was a very severe one, from
the fact that it inflicted a wound on the forehead. A
constable then came up, and the matt went away, and
the woman managed to reach the Rose and Thistle pub-
lic-house, which is a short distance down the street where
the outrage took place, where she fell down a corpse.
The police having been informed of the circumstance,
proceeded in search of Cox, and after some time succeeded
in apprehending him, and he was conveyed to the police-
station in Rochester-row, and the body of the unfortu-
nate woman was carried to the house where she had

department of the islnd. The whole company of
soldiers called out to witness the punishment of
one of their comrades revolted and fled. 15 of

was boarded by a boat's crew of 12 men belonging
to a Spanish frigate, who took possession of the
vessel and conveyed her inside the reef, and after
overhauling her papers broke open the hatches,
took out about a third of the cargo, and opened
the consignee's letters. The cause of these pro-
ceedings was a suspicion that the vessel was con-
veying arms and ammunition for the revolutionists.
After a detention of 24 hours the Spaniards de-
manded $3O of the captain for piloting inside the
reef, and then left him to find his way out in the
best manner he could.

land.

try as quiet and business depressed. Large num-
bers of Indians were met in the plains. The
