DESPERATE LBAT OP A FEMALE FROM A RIVER
STICAM BOAT.—Yesterday afternoon the passengers on board
the Bee steam-boat were thrown into a most painful state of
excitement, in consequence of the following occurrence
appears that about five o'clock a respectably-dressed female,
who was sitting on the deck of the vessel, was observed to
take off her bonnet, apparently for the purpose of arranging
her hair, when, in an instant afterwards, she leaped head-
foremost into the River, nearly facing Paul's-wharf. The
captain gave immediate orders to stop the boat ; but before
that was accomplished, the paddle-wheels nearly came in
contact with the poor creature's head. Two watermen,
named Jasper Clements and Edward ulyatt, having put of
in their boats, they fortunately succeeded in rescuing the un-
fortunate woman just as she was sinking for the third time.
She was removed to the nose and Ball public-house, Ben-
nett's-hill, Thames-street, and owing to the medical treat-
ment of Mr. Harper, of Farringdon-street, recovered suffi-
ciently to be taken to the hospital. When restored to con-
sciousness she expressed regret that her life had been saved,
and also that should she recover she would do it again, She
also stated that she had left word at home what she intended
to do. In a small basket, which she left with her bonnet on
the vessel, was a piece of paper, on which was written,
"Marian Johnson, No. 23, Greenhill-rents. Smithfield,"
which, upon inquiry, turned out to be her name and address.

MIDXIGHT OUTRAGE DY ARMED MEN.—MT.
Hine, of Macclesfield, silk-manufacturer, who resides at a
lonely spot about three miles from that town, was placed
in circumstances of considerable danger on Tuesday night.
He and his family had retired to rest a little after midnight,
and was aroused by hearing a loud knocking in front of the
house, which they soon ascertained was made by five men,
masked, and armed with pistols, bludgeons, and other wea-
pons of offence, who were attempting to force an entrance
into the house. They peremptorily ordered him to open the
door, and when asked what they wanted, they said all the
money and valuables he had in the house. A parley of some du-
ration took place, Mr. Hine seeking to point out the illegality
of their conduct, of course without any effect; for, instead
of going away, they threatened the more violently, and de-
manded that they should have his son's watch if no money
was forthcoming. Mr. Hine, jun., added his remonstrance
to those of his father's, assuring them that they had no
money in the house; their place of business was at Maccles-
field, and there all the cash was kept. While this was going
on, part of them continued their efforts to get into the house,
and broke open a door at the back. There was then only
one other door between them and Mr. Hine, and the latter
knowing that, capitulated on hearing them approach it. The
men got his son's watch and some few shillings in silver,
and left the place, swearing that the inmates had got off
madly too cheap, and they might console themselves with
the reflection that nothing worse had happened to them.
We believe there was a blunderbuss in the house, but no use
was made of it.

CLIARGE OF MURDER AT PLTIVOUTII.—At three
o'clock this afternoon (Thursday) information was received
at the police-station of a Peruvian, named Frederick de
Bezon, having murdered an old naval pensioner, named Cos-
tello, a shoemaker. It appeared that the deceased last night
had been out drinking, and his home being in Devonport, he
repaired to Stillman-street, where the prisoner was residing.
He attempted to get in, but was unable. He afterwards
went away, and returned about one o'clock this afternoon,
when he again presented himself at the house in a state of
intoxication. He was desired to leave, but refused, and the
prisoner, who was sober, went down to him to put him out
forcibly. Still refusing to leave, he took hold of nim by the
shoulders, and knocked him down in the middle of the street
—his head coming with great violence to the paving-stones.
He lay senseless for a few minutes on the ground, and was
afterwards taken into the house, when he was found to be
dead. The prisoner has been in the town only a few weeks,
and appears to be on tramp. He was immediately taken
into custody and conveyed to the station-house, where he
now awaits the verdict of a coroner's inquest. The poor old
man is above 6u years of age, and was well known in the
neighbourhood.
