The island of Lewis (one of the Hebrides) was
visited on Tuesday, the 16th of February, by a dreadful gale,
which, owing to the suddenness with which it came on and
veered round from south-west to north, gave rise to the most
serious apprehensions for those who were at sea. It was espe-
cially so for the fate of such boats along the coast as might
have ventured in the morning in pursuit of that precarious
vocation to which so many of the islanders are industriously
devoted. No accounts have, however, as yet been received of
any having been unable to regain their homes excepting two.
These were boats belonging to Bayble, which is a fishing port
a few miles to the eastward. Obliged to abandon their lines,
which are usually set at a distance of three or four miles from
the shore, they were driven to Lochs, the name of the land
which lies to the leeward. In one of them, the individuals on
board, seeing the impracticability of reaching Bayble, had
made no effort to return to it. They bore away at once, and
after being nearly swamped by the heavy sea which was run-
ning, landed in safety. Had those in the other boat followed
this course, they might all have survived the efforts of that
terrible day. The less fortunate crew amounted to six ; they
appear to have had a new boat, strong and well equipped, and
to have been themselves the ablest company belonging to the
station, circumstances which, it is presumed, made them vainly
determine on braving the blast by an effort to return to their
families, and, having recourse to their oars, to push against
a head sea and an adverse wind blowing at the time in over-
whelming gusts, accompanied by intense cold and alternate
showers of rain and hail.

Letters were received yesterday from Milan to the
9th instant. The Marquis of Hertford was still sojourning in
that city with a boil Rant circle of nobility, which made the
Milanese extremely gay. His Lordship, whose health was
much improved, had given a series of balls, remarkable for
refined taste, splendour, and magnificence. Amongst the
most distinguished in the Thespian circle at these fetes, the
accomplished and talented Malibran (La reine des prime donne
as she is there termed,) excited as much admiration by her
graceful dancing, as enthusiasm by the exercise of her unri-
Ns-iasltleer i

few days previously, in Les Capulettcs, ably assisted by her

her marriage with M. de Beriot would take place. Shortly
after Easter, we can state upon her own authority, this fasci-
nating vocalist may be expected in London. The Marquis
of Hertford intended to return home the first or second week
in May.

This action was brought by the plaintiff, a cabinet-
maker, to recover from the defendant, the landlord of the
Dolphin Hotel at Chichester, pecuniary compensation for
the injury he had sustained in consequence of the improper
use of a vicious horse, and the negligent driving o f his
servant.

Mr. THESSIGER (with whom was Mr. Clarkson) having
stated the case, called witnesses who spoke to the bad
character of the horse.

Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE, for the defendant, attributed
the accident to Mr. Armstrong, in having offered a bet
to the driver to induce him to go at a quicker rate than
was compatible with safety. The Learned Sergeant then
called witnesses, who deposed to the absence of vice in
the horse, and his aptitude for the work to which he
was put

The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 300/.
CROWN COURT.—In the case of William Edge, indicted
for arson, the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

TIrE DANUBE.—Austria, reflecting that the
Danube, the largest river of Western Europe, flows for the
greater part of its course through her dominions, and is also
her own way to Byzantium, has determined to encourage upon
it a line of steam-boats. This, in the form of a measure of
industry, amounts to a protest against the invasion of the
mouths of the river by Russia. There is to be one grand line
from Vienna to Smyrna, by Constantinople ; and another from
Vienna to Trebizonde. The service from Presburg to
Smyrna commenced on February 18th, and will employ seven
boats, namely, three on the Upper Danube, between Presburg
and Dreichora ; two on the Lower Danube, between Slela-
Cladova, Galatz, and Hirsova ; one from Hirsova to Constan-
tinople; and one from Constantinople to Smyrna.
ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—A premeditated and de-
termined attempt at murder took place at Whitestable, near
Canterbury, Kent, on Tuesday night last. John Towgeod,
a mariner of that port, who for many years sustained a re-
spectable character, but has lately fallen into dissipated habits,
became acquainted with Harriet Thomas, a married woman
whose husband is living at Canterbury ; he lived with her
until lately, when she left him for a youth named Edwards.
This exceedingly enraged Towgood, who said if he ever saw
Thomas with Edwards he would murder her. On Tuesday
afternoon, Thomas and her sister-in-law, Mary Ann Summers,
left the house in which Thomas's mother, under the assumed
name of Steele, lives. This house is in a narrow passage
within two doors of the King's Arms. They passed through
some fields, and were seen joined by two young men, one of
whom was Edwards, and in their company they remained till
ten at night in a beer-shop. It appears that Towgood had
watched the women from the time of their leaving Stecle's
house ; for soon after Edwards arid his associate joined them
Towgood came up and said, " I will follow go where they
will ;" and lie then told Thomas he would be the death of
her sooner than she should be with Edwards. He afterwards
went out and took a coat to a pawnbroker's, and with the mo-
ney be obtained upon it purchased a large horse-pistol with
five balls and some powder. Thomas and her companion re-
turned home about 10 o'clock at night ; the young men left
them a few minutes before they returned home. Towgood
had been waiting for Thomas's return, and when she and the
woman Summers were. passing down the passage leading to
Steele's house he took his station at the lower end of it. As
soon as Thomas passed him he fired the pistol ; she fell
screaming " Murder." Summers fainted, and Towgood ran
out of the passage and threw his pistol over the hedge on the
opposite side of the road. The parish watchman was within
hearing, and took Towgood into custody. He did not offer
any resistance, and said, " He had killed her he loved,
and now he could die happy."

DREADFUL SUlClDE.—Yesterday an inquest was
held at the Crown, Brewer-street, Golden-square, before Mr.
Higgs and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of A. 13.
Oldreich,
Esq., a native of Germany, and a ilamburgh mer-
chant, of considerable property. It appeared from the evidence
I that the deceased was affected with a determination of blood to
1
the head, which created a desponding state of mind. About
half-past seven o'clock yesterday morning he precipitated him-
! self from an attic window to the stone yard beneath the house,
No. 6, Golden-square, where he lodged. His head was lite-
rally smashed to pieces, and he died on the spot. The Jury
returned a verdict of " Temporary Derangement."
