The HORRID MURDERS at GREENWICH.

If has been erroneously stated in several Pa•
pers. that three men servants have been anpre-
hendedsand committed to Maidstone Gaol, eharg-
ed with,the murder of Mr. BIRD and his House-
'keeper.---The following facts are from authority
" We have the satisfaction of stating,. that the
Magistrates of Greenwich have a direct clue to the
discovery .of the murderer of Mr. Bird and his
housekeeper. The property stolen, and clothes
stained with blood, have been found in different
boxes of a man who is well known, but not yet
Apprehended. The man's name is Charles Hussey,
lately discharged from the service of Mr. Steven-
son, of Greenwich, and was formerly, for a short

time, an out-pensioner at Greenwich Hospital.
‘‘" Charles Hussey is about 27 years of age, five
feet eight inches high, of a fair complexion, grey
eyes, brown hair, atid has an impediment in his
IAI
speech ; wore alack cost and waistcoat, min-
gled pantaloons, and a hatband round his hat.—
The best hopes ate entertained that the activity
of the Police, and the publicity of his description,
will shortly lead to his apprehension,"

IS-LR oF WIGHT, MARCH 14.—0 n Saturday af-
ternoon last, a water-spout burst at Stenhury,near
\Vhitewell (about a niiie from the place where the
one lately mentioned burst), which did considera-
ble injury to the farm-there. • It was preceded by a
-violently agitated atmosphere, the noise of which,
for half an hour, resembled a roar, the most dismal
and appalling. When the cloud poured forth its
contents, it seemed to the inhabitants of Stenbury-
farm as though the floodgates of the sea bad broken,
and their destruction was inevitable : the water
rolled down the bill im such irresistible torrents,
that it beat down a lofty wall; flooded all the lower
apartments of the farm, and set the cattle
loose among the streams—the affrighted inhabi-
tants seeking shelter, with their children, in the
upper rooms. The loss sustained by this phe-
nomenon is considerable ; whilst the terror and
painful feelings it excited are indescribable. The.
injury done to Sir Richard Worsley's library by
the water-spout, which partly burst upon it, is
much more extensive than was at the time de-
scribed.
