HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

The residents of Westminster and its vicinity were on Tuesday
thrown into a state of the greatest excitement, in consequence of its
having become generally reported that a woman had been killed by
her husband, he having thrown her out of a three pair of stairs win-
dow, after inflicting several wounds upon her. We regret to say
that there was too much truth in the report, and that an outrage had
been committed of the most atrocious character, and one which will,
in all probability, subject the perpetrator of it to a condign punish-
ment.

The following is the-Embstance of the statement made by the wit-
nesses at the police station in Rochester-row, and which will, of
course, be confirmed in their testimony before the magistrate :—A
brickmaker, named William Luff, has for upwards of a twelvemonth
been cohabiting with a young woman who has passed as his wife,
but whose name is unknown even, as he alleges, to the man who
has been living with her. They took up their quarters a week ago
at No. 4, Pear-street, a low house let out to persons of very indif-
ferent character, where the atrocious violence we are about to record
was committed. At about seven o'clock on Tuesday night Luff re-
turned home, and a violent quarrel was heard in their roam by
other residents in the house, but as matters of the sort are of
nightly , occurrence in low places of this description, it
was perfectly unheeded. After it had been for some time
evident by her cries that he was beating her most unmercifully,
he seized her by the waist and threw her out of the win-
dow, and the poor creature, after falling with her head upon
the wall which divides the yard from another, dropped into the yard.
The thieves and prostitutes of the immediate vicinity, whose atten-
tion had been drawn to the room by the poor woman's cries—to their
credit be it spoken—hemmed the fellow in his room, and took the
senseless victim of his brutality to Westminster Hospital, whilst
others went in quest of a policeman. Robert White, 100 B, on being
acquainted with the eireurostannos, hastened to the spot, and enter-
ing a back room on the second floor found Luff with a knife in his
hand. Ile immediately struck him on the wrist with his truncheon,
and having induced him to loose his hold of the weapon, took him
into custody, and conveyed him to the police station lu Rochester-
row, followed by hundreds of persons. Mr. Taylor, the inspector on
duty, examined about of persons who had something to say on the
subject, and ultimately entered the names of three on the sheet, who
arc in a condition to establish the above facts. White produced a
brick covered with blood and hair, as also several broken articles of
crockeryware, with a poker in a similar condition, and informed the
inspector that there was a pail in the room, in which the poor woman
had bled copiously. . . . . . .

The victim of the wretch's atrocious violence is about 20 years
of age. Not a feature of her face could be distinguished, from the
violence she had received; and the following is the certificate given
by Mr. F. Wildbore, the house surgeon at the Westminster Hos-
pital :
" I certify that a woman, has beta brought to the hos-
pital by 100 B, and is now in a state of insensibility, and it is diffi-
cult to say what may be the consequences."
It is needless to add that the ruffian, who is a strong, powerful
fellow, was detained. He appeared to be perfectly sober.

THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, MAY s.—The Oriental
Company's steam-ship the Pasha, Captain Evans, arrived here this
morning, at 8 ♦.M., and landed her mails of the following dates :
Gibraltar, April 24 ; Cadiz, 25 ; Lisbon, 30 ; Oporto, May I ; and
Comma, 2 ; which were forwarded to London by the 9 o'clock
train. The Pasha brought home 73 passengers and a Hill fruit cargo.
The Royal West India Mail packet, the Medway, Captain Andrews,
with the Mexican and West India mails, is fully expected here to-
morrow; she is believed to have many passengers and a full cargo.
The Madrid, Captain Bingham, will leave the clocks on Thursday
with the Mediterranean and Peninsular malls, full cargo, and a dill
complement of passengers. The Oriental Company's steam-ship
Royal-Tar, Captain Brooks, from Alexandria, with the East India and
China mails, may be looked for at the Motherbank on Friday next.
The marriage of Viscount Castlereagh with the
Viscountess Powerscourt was solemnized on Saturday, at the British
Embassy. The ceremony was performed in a private manner, there
being present only the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, the
Earl and Countess of Roden, and other immediate relatives of the
noble pair. The newlytmarried couple have left Paris to spend the
honeymoon in Switzerlabd.—Paris paper.
HONESTY UNEEWARDED.—One day last week a young
man, while riding in an omnibus from the York and Albany, Regent's
Park, to the Bank, found in it an elegant silver card-case, and on
opening it discovered three 1001., one 301., and one 101. note, with
the numbers on a piece of paper inside, together with a card with
the address of the owner. He immediately delivered the card-case
and contents to the owner, a lady, and received an answer that she
"would think of him," but up to this time her reeellection seems
not to have suggested the propriety of her rewarding a person to
whom she is so much indebted, as he has not seen or heard any-
thing of her. The finder of the card-case is in indigent circumstances,
so that his honesty is the more deserving of reward.

The " peace movement," concerning which so many
curious documents were published some time ago, is proceeding with
the utmost vigour, and in various parts of the country are to be found
numereus bodies resolved to prevent all chances of eollision with the
United States, if there is any force in that system of " addresses "
which has been recently contrived. An address has just been sent
to the citizens of Cincinnati, and of the United States generally.
by
the inhabitanrs of Exeter, who have signed to the number of 1,600.

SINGULAR DEATH DURING SLEEP.-011Tuesday Mr.
Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Queen's Head, St. John's-lane,
S t.Sepulchre's, on the body of Francis Brenan, aged twenty-three
years, a gas-fitter, whose death occurred under the following singular
circumstances:—lt appeared by the evidence that the deceased had
for the last two years lodged at the above tavern, and a remarkable
feature connectei with his life, was the peculiar somnolent disposi-
tion evinced by him when at work, and even while eating his meals,
at which times he would frequently doze off, and if allowed, sleep
for hours. On Saturday last he was called at six in the morning, as
usual, when he responded " all right," but he, however, fell off to
sleep again, and about twelve at noon, as, the servant entered the
room to male the bed, he was discovered lying dead. A surgeon
was immediately called in, and who pronounced him dead, and said
that his death had taken place while sleeping. Verdict, " Natural
death."

It is expected that Captain Sir Thomas Bouchier,
K.C.8., will be appointed Vag Captain to Admiral Sir Charles Ogle,
Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth.—United Bsrrice Gasstl4.
We understand that a meeting of influential Mem-
bers of both Rouses of Parliament took place on Tuesday, at the resi-
dence of Lord Robert Grosvenor, on the subject of the Bill about to
be introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. Spooner, " for the
more effectual suppression of trading in seduction and for the pro-
tection of females."
STRIKE ON THE RICHMOND RAILWAY.—On Monday
afternoon, about two o'clock, there was a general strike on the Rich-
mond Railway. The men, to the number of 700, ceased working,
expressing a determination to have an increase in their wages of six-
pence per day. Many of the men being drunk, Mr. Knill, the con-
tractor, apprehended a disturbance, and applied to the police. The
navigators paraded the town of Wandsworth until a late hoar, but
no disturbance arose. The contractor afterwards declared his inten-
tion of not taking one of the old hands on again. Yesterday the
works remained suspended, and in the course of the morning the con-
tractor had a private interview with Mr. Clive, at Wandsworth Po-
lice-court, the nature of which was not made public. At a later pe-
riod of the day a large number of navigators collected about the
court, and ultimately about a dozen of them came to the magistrate
and applied for summonses for the wages due to them. Mr. Clive
servants,o grant their request, on the ground that they were hired
in which case a magistrate could not act. As the demand
was a mere debt, it should be recovered at the Court of Requests..

There are accounts of the 13th ult. from the United States.
The Oregon question was still a subject of general " talk,"
and this, perhaps, is all it ever will be. The Sub-Treasury
Bill was likely, however, to become something more, and may
be expected to pass. Although the Bill may be prejudicial,
it has some few recommendations.
There are accounts of March 11th from the Cape of Good
Hope. All was quiet on the!frontier and at Natal.
The Medway, West India steamer, has arrived at South-
ampton, and her mails are expected to be delivered in town
this afternoon.
The English Stocks have remained very steady to-day,
but there is only a limited business doing. Consols are
96% % for present transfer, and 96% 3/4 for Account.
