EXTRAoRDINARY AssAuIr.

As Mr.. Philips was walking ON Sunday
last, near Merton square, accompanied by
twofriends, a lady elegantly dressed, whom
he soon recognized to be the unfortunate
Mrs. Guthrie, rushed at him in the most
irenzied manner, exclaiming-': sir. you
have ruined an innocent man, and struck
him several times, repeating the same ex-
clamation. She said the Witnesses from
Wales were pcriured, but admitted that
she had deeply injured MIR. Guthrie. She
then took the pamphlet report of the trial.
which she tore in pieces, scattering it in
all directions, declaring that she came from
England for the purpose---and deliberately
retired in private carriage, which, with a
footman and position in elegant liveries,
remained in waiting for her at the corner
ofthe square.-DuJlin Even'g Post, Julys.

SOMNAMBULATIoN.

On Monday night, a gentleman, who
lodges in a boarding<loase in Pearl street.
arose IN his sleep, 1eaped from the third
story window, and walked ONO distance
without waking-untll he was aroused
from his unconscious state by watohlnan.
what IS wonderful, he is not sensible of
having sustained the least injury in the
dangerous descent. Last uight, at the
same hour precisely, he made an attempt
to repeat the leap, but was prevented by
ms acknowledges, just as he had raised the
sash for the purpose. OF the authenticity
OF this statement there is nor can be no
doubt w. i. Columbian.

Niorfazk, SEPT. s.

CsOIt0tF, OepC. ..
A tremendous gale was experienced
here on Monday last, it commenced a
bout II o'clock ON Sunday night from
N. L. and continued with INCREASING yio-
lence until so'clock the next day, when
it gradually subsidized. 1t had the effect Of
raising the tide to an almost unprecedent-
ed height all the uharyes including
those which had hitherto been deemed a.
bove the reach of the tide, were inundated
almost up to Wide Water Street. Much
confusion consequently ensued in those
warehouses having their lower floors le-
vel with the ground, as the water rose
with sach rapidity that the Manageable
articles could with difficulty be removed
out OF It's reach in time to save them.
But little comparative injury however
has been sustained in the town or har-
Dor from this strife of the elements.
Some trees and fences have been blown
down, and two or three vessels drifted
on shore, but viii be got of with little
trouble. We are as yet unable to give
any accurate account of the damage sus-
tanned by the shipping below, the state
ments OF different persons who have come
up, differing materially. II appears how
ever, that the British ship Hamilton
which dropped down on Friday last,
was driven on the Ear at the mouth of
Nansemond river; schooner and a
sloop were drove ashera on Craney J.
sland, and since the tide has sabsided
remain nearly high and dry, and petit
augur broke from her anchorage under
Sewell's point, and drifted ever towards
Newport news. There were a number
of single vessels bound out, and fears
are entertained that they could not sur
sise the fury of the storm.
We learn by applet who came over
from Hampton yesterday, that the pilot
Boat Hiram Of Hampton, fell in with
two schrs. on Sunday to the southwark
of the capss, both bottom itpacards, one
of them was asceEtainetl to be the Pet
ty Augdr President of N. York, the ether
was long black schooner, with a white
moulding supposed from her built to be-
long to Baltimore.
