iIBERDELN, MARCH 31.

Monday last, the vessel Friends, of and from Lon-
don, loaded with wood, bound for Aberdeen, when
attempting to make the harbour of Peterhead, was
driven in amongst the rocks ar the back of the west
pier, where she at present remains a total wreck. For.j
tunately by the exertions of some seamen under the
direction of Captain William Sangster, the crew were
got stfe on shore.
Monday a young man fell from one of the ho'd
beams, to the bottom of a vessel repairing at Fuotde:;
his head having struck a treenail, his skull was se-
verely fractured, aud. he was carried to the hospital in
a very dangerous state.
Wednesday last, the gaff of a brig In this harbour,
being incautiously let down with great violence, struck
the Mate of the vessel on one of his legs, which was
thereby broken and shockingly shattered ; in which
state he was.carried to.the hospital, but now is in a
favourable Nay of recovery.

Yesterday R. Pither, S. Ansell, and J. Miller, were
charged, at the Mansion house, with attempting to
break open a linen.dra per's shop, in Sun-street, Bisl eds-
gate. One of the City Patrele stated, that early yes-
terday morning he saw the prisoners lurking about the
shop; that on his approach, two of them decamped,
and the third came towards him, whom he secured,
and found on him a paper, the size Of the crown of a
hal, painted to resemble the shutters ; that he spec.
dily, with assistance, secured the other two near the
shop, on one of whom he found a centre-bit, with
which they had just bored a hole in the shutters, ex
actly fitting the paver found on the prisoner first taken,
and which would have enabled them to have cut the
glass so as to have drawn the goods through. In
their apartments were also found a number of imple.
plements of house-breaking. They were committed
for reexamination.
WORSHIP-STREET—Yesterday a man named Pearce..
was fully committed, for trial, charged by a *publican
in Holywell-street, Shoreditch, with whom he lodged
three nights only, with stripping his apartment of all
the moveable articres. •
MARI.BOP.OUGH-STIVET.—A man of colour, six feet
in height, of the name of Cole, was yesterday charged
at this office with ravishing a decent woman, who
,resides in. Lawrence lane, St. Giles's, under circum-
stances the most aggravated. It appeared in evi-
dence, that the prisoner followed the prosecutrix home
from Covent-garden Market late on Satutday night,
and when at her own door, he forced her into a cel-
lar, locked himself in with her, and perpetrated his
diabolical object. The poor woman was kept more
than two hours in this situation, and her shrieks were
heard by the neighbour's, who took it to be an Irish
squabble, and consequently did not notice it at the
time. The evidences altogether, was too shocking
• for description, ai.d the prisoner was fully committed
for trial.

HATIVS-GARDrN.—Ttics lay, a young monster,
six tren years of age, named John Bee, was charged
by Esther Foote and a male friend, with thrusting a
large corking pin fastened to the end of a stick, five
or six-inches' long, into the side of the young woman
on Monday night at ten o'clock, in Holborn. Several
other females felt the keenness of his diabolical frolic.
Having committed similar offences in the City, he
was sent there, and committed to the Sessions for
want of bail. •
