THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE.

'The storm appears to have been very violent through-
out the district.

At Selby, a factory was li!own down, and two women
buried in the ruins, but they escaped with a few bruises.
At Haddlesey, near Selby, the storm was attended with
awful effects : a barn was blown down, burying three men
in the ruins, who were taken out dead.

At Pontefract many wheat stacks were destroyed, and
the pinnacle was blown off the old church and fell through
the roof.

At Wetberby a number of buildings were unroofed ;
trees were blown down in all directions.

At Doncaster, the roof of the gas-house was neatly
stripped of the slates, and two pinnacles were blown from
the church.

At- Leeds, the hurricane was fearfully violent ; buildings
were cJrnpletely unroofed, stacks of chimneys blown into
the streets, whole windows blown in, and trees uprooted.
In a cottage near Park-lane, a chimney was blown down
by which a horse was killed. A factory chimney fell into
a piptye, and completely severed the head of a fine pig.
At Headingly a chimney was blown down with such
violence as to burst through the roof, and fell into a room
where the family were sitting, ane severely injured the
servant, and one of the children of Mr. Heaps, the occu-
pier; Mrs. Heaps sprung out of a window and escaped
with a few bruises, but the servant had her leg broken,
one of the children had one of its legs broken and its hip
dislocated ; and a neighbour, who had gone into the
house fur protection, had her foot severely crushed. The
only one who escaped was an infant child, which was
sheltered by being under a table in the middle of the room,
but how it had come there no one could tell.

The chimney of Mr. Scott, at Little Woodhouse, was
blown down, and the roof entirely demolished. All the
family escaped from the premises except an infant about
15 months old which was lying in a cradle; the little
innocent was covered to the depth of at least three feet with
bricks, tiles, and mortar, where it remained for more than
four hours before it was thought of. When the rubbish was
removed from the cradle, the child was found calmly sleep•
ing, with its cheek on a brick, having been protected from
injury by a rafter falling across the cradle.
The effects of the storm were felt with equal severity
in Bradford, Keighle}, and, in fact, in every part of the
West Riding. At the last mentioned place a bore and
cart were overturned, and both the animal and vehicle
rolled three times over before the blast.

adduced :—John Wood, a porter, said he went with de-
ceased into the Wi,ite Lion, and they each had a glass of
whisky and water, of which they drank a part. He then
sent witness to a cook shop in the neighbourhood for some
beef, ham, pickled onions, and a small loaf. On his re-
turn, witness found three young men in the parlour whom
the deceased had treated with a glass of ale apiece. H-
eat some of the onions, and then took a little of the ham,
but at the second mouthful a piece stuck fast in his throat,
and he became black in the face. Witness put one of his
fingers into his mouth for the purpose of removing the
piece of ham, but could not succeed. A surgeon was then
sent for, but before his arrival (which was in about five
minutes) the deceased had expired with his head leaning
on one of witness's arms...—Verdict—Accideotal Death.

EXTRAORDINARY INTERRUPTION OF A

MARRIAGE CEREMONY.

Yesterday morning a young couple, residing in
he neighbourhood of Saffron-hill, who after a long
courtship resolved on tying the happy knot of wed-
lock, proceeded according to appointment to St.
Andrew's Church, Holborn, for the purpose of
having the ceremony performed by the clergyman.
Not being blessed with a fortune, and unable to an-
swer the customary demands in the shape of fees,
the bri legroom made an application to the overseers
of the parish, who being aware that the longingand
anxious pair were honest and industrious, they al.
lowed them to be united in forma pauperis, and
Cover, the beadle, was deputed to accompany them
to witness the celebration of the solemn service,
,ind to pay the fees. At the appointed hour the
officer, the bridegroom, arid his chere amie, attired
in their " holiday clothes," the latter being in vir-
gin white, followed by a motley group, repaired to
he church, when after a short interval, the Re-
, ererul Clergyman arrived, and having put on his
clerical habiliments, he proceeded to the altar, and
commenced the ceremony in awful silence, when a
fellow of dirty and ruffi tnly appearance,well known as
a vagrant,interrupted the proceeding,by asking Cover
relieve him, and he insisted that lie would have
relief before he quitted the church. Cover and the
Clergyman remonstrated with him on the impro-
priety of his conduct, but it only had the effect of
inciting him to the grossest insult and abuse ; and
at length Cover ordered him out of the place, arid
was about to exercise his authority as an officer,
when the ruffian made a desperate blow at him,
,vhich he fortunately warded off. The fellow again
assaulted him, and he was necessitated to act upon
the defensive, and they fought several rounds in
the presence of the " would be united" and the
parson, and the utmost alarm and confusion pre-
vailed—the bride was all amazement, and her in-
tended stuck close to her with an evident deter-
mination to protect her from insult, until the
Rev. Gentleman rushed from the altar, and in-
terfered between the combatants ; and perceiving
that young Cover had the best of it, and not being
aware that he was a constable, he took the part of
the vagrant, when Cover took out his authority, and
seizing the fellow, led him to the watchhouse close
by, where he lodged him preparatory to bringing
him before a Magistrate. He eventually returnede
to the church, and witnessed the marriage ceremony
performed to the mutual satisfaction of all present,
when, the fees being paid, the parties proceeded be-
fore a Magistrate with the prisoner, and he was com-
mitted to prison and hard labour for two months.
The happy pair afterwards proceeded to their re.
idence, and regaled themselves heartily with some
of the good things prior to enjoying ,the " honey-
moon."

Prince Esterhazy arrived at Chandos House
yesterday evening, from Belvoir Castle, where his High•
ness has been participating in the splendid hospitalities of
the Duke of Rutland. It has been said that he will not
quit this country even for a time, in consequence of his
lather's death. Count de Fries, who has recently arrived
from V:enna, as an Attache, we believe, to the mission,
attends the Prince when be leaves town.

The Duke of Rutland having relinquished
his residence in Sackvil e-street, his Grace's brothers,
Lords Charles and Robert Manners, have taken chambers
in the Albany. The Noble Duke, during the approaching
season, will take up his temporary abode with Sir Frede-
rick Trench, in Bolton-street, or with Mr. Sloane Stanley,
in Currm-street.

We understand that the Rev. S. Coates,
Curate to the Rev. L. V. Harcourt, at Stokes'ey, in
Cleveland, has been presented with the perpetual curacy
of Thirak. From the truly Christian conduct and bene-
volent disposition of the above gentleman, in visiting the
dmyies of the sick, and contributing to their necessities,
the poor of Stokesley will have sincere cause to regret his
leaving that place.— York Courant.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Yesterday,
at Lord Tenterden's, in Portman•square, by the Hon.
4nd Rev. M. Eden, brother of Lord Auckland, the lion.
Charles Abbott, brother of the present and son of the late
Lord Tenterden, to Emily, daughter of Lord George
Stuart, and granddaughter of the late Marquis of Bute.
After the ceremony, the happy couple left town in a new
travelling chariot and four, for Bills, the seat of Captain
Townshend, in Hertfordshire, therein to pass the honey-
moon. Hence they go to Italy. The bride, who was
given away by the Duke of St. Albans, was dressed in
white satin and blonde lace. In the evening, a grand
dinner was given by Lord Tenterden to the members of
that family.

According to official returns, the average price
of wheat for all France, for the month ending the 31st of
December, was 14f 87c. the hectolitre, which answers
to 11. 14s. Id. the English quarter of eight bushels im-
perial tneasure ; according to our own official returns, the
average price of wheat for England and Wales for the six
weeks ending on the 3d inst. was 21. 9s. 6d. the quarter.
It therefore appears that the average price of wheat in
England is 45 per cent. higher than the average price in
France, and that with the sum of 2/. 9s. 6d. a man may
buy 11 5-S bushels of wheat in France, whereas, with
the same sum he can only buyeight bushels in England.
A most calamitous fire broke out about three
on Sunday morning last at Entry Court, near Sandwich,
and it is feared it was an act of incendiarism. Two
barns, with their contents, two wheat stacks and seven
other stacks, were entirely consumed. The Government
engines from Deal, aided by the Sandwich engines, arrive'
in time to prevent the stabling and other buildings from
falling a prey. The loss may be computed at 2,6001.
Mr. Bridger, the out-going, and Mr. Brice, the in-coming
tenant, are fully insured. The buildings are insured in
the Kent, and the stock in the Phoenix and liqyal Ex-
change. The fire was raging and visible at a great dis-
tance so late as nine on Sunday night.—Kentish Gaq,
THE LATE SToßrt.—The effects of the
hurricane on the 3lst of last month are visible along the
north shore, several walls fronting the cottages on the
sands which withstood the force of the former storm on
the 29th of November, have yielded to the latter. The
wall which divides Mr. Miller's grounds from the shore at
Bootie is laid prostrate in his shrubbery, and on various
parts of the shore there remain marks of the fury of the
gale. A flat has been driven op on to the high ground in
the creek of Beacon's Gutter, where she will remain until
the next spring tides, when she may be launched off again.
A schooner, laden with oatmeal from Ireland, was stranded
in Bootle Bay, the major part of her cargo was saved by
being transhipped and carted on shore. Masts, yards,
and several fragments of wreck lie scattered along the shore,
supposed to be the remains of the Jamaica and Grecian,
which have been wrecked on the banks outside. The
railings on the land adjoining the Esplanade are torn up,
and the water has worked up the soil as far as the centre
walk of the Crescent at Waterloo.—Liverpool Courier.

Mr. Colman (says a correspondent) has taker,
another authoritative step in regard to a drama in prep!
ration at Hull, in Yorkshire. It appears that the worthy
burgesses of that town, not contented with presenting
Captain Ross, the Arctic navigator, the freedom of the
borough, &c., deter mined to have a drama written on
the subject of his enterprise and sufferings. For this
purpose Mr. W. L. Retie, the author of •' The
Rake's Progress," and several other successful dramas,
was sent for by the manager, Mr. Downes, at 4
great expense, to write a drama on Captain Ross's expe-
dition. The piece was written in two days, and sent to the
Lord Chamberlain's Office to be licensed. Lord Belfast,
who acts as Chamberlain pro tem., by the advice of Mr.
Colman, refused to license any drama called " Captain
Ross," as it was unwarrantably using the name of a living
individual. The title of the Hull piece has been changed
accordingly, though it is understood that neither the
Captain nor his friends had any objection to its previous
appellation. What increases the annoyance to the
manager is the fact, that a minor theatre at Hull, being
unrestrained by a Licenser, has brought forward a
piece under the same title unmolested ! The in-
structions to Mr. W. L. Rede from Mr. Colman
ran thus—" Omit the name of Captain Ross, he may be
called Captain' only when directly spoken to, and the
Captain of the Victory' when mentioned." As the
greater part of Captain Ross's adventures occurred alter
abandoning that vessel, the piece which has been produced
at the Hull Theatre has a singular effect upon the mari-
time auditors. It will be recollected that some of our
great achievements by sea and land have been dramatised
will great effect in London ; and although our Dramatic
Licenser will not allow any person to assutre the name of
Captain Ross, George Chapman has frequently played
with great applause, at Astley's, "His Grace the Duke of
Weliington," in the celebrated military spectacle, the
Battle of Waterloo.
