APPREHENSION OF HUSSEY.

Hussey arrived in town yesterday afternoon, and
was brought up at five o'clock to Bow-street, fur
examination. He was apprehended at a fatm near
Woodstock, in Oxfordshire. While in detention there,
he took an opportunity to tbrow.away a ring_ and a
watch ; but the place into which he threvrthem being
afterwards searched, the ring and the watch were
found, and prove, it is said, to have been part of the
property stolen from the late Mr. BIRD. Vickery af-
terwards stripped him, and found in his boots another
ring. His examination at Bow-street was a very
shut one, no witnesses being in attendance.—His
answers to the fuw questions asked him consisted
in a denial of his guilt, and an assertion that
he had found the watch and rings. The Magistrate
ordered him to he committed to the House of Cor-
rection in Coldbath-fields, and brought up again on
Thursday next. His apprehension is owing w a
publican at Woodstock, who knew Hussey from the
description given of him by an Officer, who was
searching for him. The publican. on looking for him
in the town, saw him come out of a public-hous;
and go towards the fields ; he was pursued and taken
in a farm yard near the town. His brother was pre-
sent at his examination.

BOXERS.
Painter came to London after the battle exhibiting
very few marks of beating, and Spring returned yes-
terday morning with one black eye. The fight is
considered- altogether as the tamest which has been
seen a king rime. Painter attributes losing to having
been stunned by his head going against the stake in
the-first round, and to his arm being disabled from
the same cause. The only blood seen was horn a
slight hit in the centre of Painter's nose.
A second battle was fought between Davis, a sci-
entific little Jew, and a countryman who had fouad
an inttuder's hand in his pocket.. In the row, the
countryman struck Davis, and a turn-up took place,
but as they shewed some symptoms of de:ermined
fighting, they entered the ring and peeled. Bet ssco
seconded the Jew, and the countryman brought .the
other to the scratch. A good fight of half an hour
followed. Science was opposed to strength, and whilst
the Jew was tapping his adversary's claret, with sci-
entific left-handed hinges, the countryman worked
away with his right, but he was ultimately beat.

THE WINTER I.V THE NORTH.
COILIACHAR AT ABERFELDV, MAncit 22.—For
some weeks past we have had very stormy weather
here, with coasidtrable falls of snow ;..but yesterday
and to-day the storm was tremendo is. On the 20th
we had a considerable fall of sin w, which was very
much drifted to-day by the violence of the wind.
Within a mile and a half of either bank of the Tay,
many of the houses were completely hid in snow, and
in many the inhabitants had to cut their way under
the vast wreathes of snow that had overwhelmed tht it
humble dwelling.. There is great reason to fear that
many thousands of sheep must have perished by the
severity of the storm. In the intervals between the
snow showers, it was sublimely grand to see the fury
of the drifted snow, and approaching shower, above
the falls of Moness and Birks of Aberfeldy. In the
remembrance of the oldest inhabitant there has n•it
been such: a storm at this advanced period of the
season. Our seed time here must be very late row,
as little or nothing is as yet done to the lahouring
the ground. At \Veem the storm was so severe, tl at
in that populous neighbourhood there were not forty
people in church that day.

Mr. Young, of Barrowtield Road, by which accident
the workshop, with the materials, were nearly ccn-
sumed; but, by active exeitions, the adjoining I rs;-
perties were saved. Mr. Young, in consetiutaice of :lie
alarm, was taken ill.
Friday night, te.tout nine o'clock, Peter Muir,
Whitburn and 61?sgow carrier, was attacked by thrce
fellows about a mile beyond Tollcross, and rebbed
about 200/. Two of them.seized him and duets him
on the ground, where they held ham, while the thiid

in whi.ll the money was-deposited. The villa'n* did
no- take his watch.
Monday, as a lame man was carried about from
door to door, in the Iligh-street. Glasgow, in a hattd-
barrow, begging, he arrived a: the door of a shop,
whoa the boys began to trace him. He laid aho,.t
him stoutly w a cudgel, till the alarm was gi
that the police we,.2 et n:ing, upon ;.vhich h.: stated
nimbly up from his carriage, and shouldered and ran'
off with it so quickly that he could net be overtaken!
Friday s?'imight, about twelve u7clock at Light,

nied by a woman of the name of Margaret Robot-

house of Allan Jamieson, St. John's-street, Perth, for
the purpose of being married, and remained there
for the night, Jamieson having told them that he
would get a clergyman to mascy them next day for
jOs. A clergyman was accordingly pictured, in the
person of John M•Diarrad, a corporal en the Staff of
the Perthshire 31ilitia, who, being dressed in black
clothes, went through the ceremony iu due form, and
received ss. for his services from the bride. • After
the ceremony, the patty regaled themselves plenti-

of the sitting Magistrate, Jamieson and 'Ml•Diattrid
were committed to jail en Mcnday, and Brodie on
Tuesday, to answer for this disgraceful outrage.
