COURTING ET MOONLIGHT.—..RAMSGATZ DEC. 27.
An accident that nearly plowed fatal occurred here a
few nights since; a Lady and Gentleman enjoying the
pure breezes of a cool December evening on the Cross
Wall of our Pier, by some unlucky mancetivre ven-
tured too near the edge, and were precipitated into the
water, and but for the timely exertions of Mr. Ecnva ED ,
FOSTER, they would have met with a watery grave; he
was on duty near the spot, when throwing a rope round
the Lady she had sufficient presence of mind to hold by
it until safely landed ; the Gentleman, although an es•
cellent swimmer, sunk tt ice, when luckily Mr. Fos.
TER'S boat preserved his life.
Thursday, an extraordinary high tide occurred at
&rood ; the Gas Works were greatly damaged—so
much so, that the operation of the works k stopped,
and notices were distributed to,,the inhabitants, that till
the damage was repaired, the town could not be sup-
plied as usual. A number of distressing events oc-
curred in consequence: a poor old woman was drownei
in her bed.
As a servant of Mr. GREOsON, a surveyor, in the
Commercial-road, was passing along the road on :ler
way home, just before nine o'cleck last night, with some
porter in one hand, and 19s. 6J. change out of a sove-
reign, in the other, she was met by asman, who forcib
opened her hand, took the silver out of it, and made
off, the young woman, from frigLt, being unable to
make any alarm.
Early yesterday morning, the house of Dr. Mitchell,
of Gate-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, was broken into,
and robbed of several articles of plate, Btc. The
thieves bad leaped over the railings, and forced an
entry through the area-door. Fortunately, some of the
servants going down stairs startled them, when they
made a precipitate retreat by the hall-door, which they
bad previously unchained and left open, without bein;
able to collect and carry off the test of their booty.
Mrs. Bishop, who, as lately stated, was buried under
the ruins of a large chimney stack at Fordwich, ex-
pired on Monday.
