Assault . —On Monday last a yonng man named Thomas Binks . was brought up at the Court House , on a charge of having , on Saturday night , committed a -violent assault upon a female named Emma Crowther . The cemplainant , it appeared , bad been on a visit to . some friends at Bradford , from which place she was returning home to her parents at New Road End , . Leeds , on Saturday night ; having missed the coach she Bet off to walk , and the prisoner coming hp with a cart , she asked him to allow her to ride . He did bo , and after stopping at two or three places ' on the road to get beer , when near Armley he proceeded to take liberties with the girl , and in pulling her about tore her dress . She , however , succeeded in getting out of the cart , and a woman being near she fled to her for protection , and told her what the prisoner -had done . She then got a man to S 3 e her home , and the prisoner was apprehended on Sunday . He was fined £ 3 and costs , or twa months imprisonment .
Hobsb Siealikg . —On Monday last , a laoouring man named Richard Kay . underwent tin examination before John Gott , Esq ., one of the West Riding magistrates , at Leeds Court House , on a charge of having stolen a bay mare , the property of Mr . Wm . Thompson , of Harrogate . The prisoner was apprehended by Policeman Whitehead , on the Saturday morning previous , and by his activity and vigilance the mare in question was recovered , and traced to her owner , as well as a bay horse the property of Mr . John Kirk , of Givendale , which had also been stolen . It appeared that the prisoner came to Leeds on the Tuesday previous , with the bay horse , which he had stolen during Monday night , and after telling a very plausible story , succeeded in exchaneine this
horse with Mr . Charles Covrburn , bay-dealer , Eaststreet , for a mare , the prisoner receiving a sovereign to boot . This mare , after saying that he wanted her for his own nse , he afterwards sold in Leeds market , aad , it ironld appear , afterwards spent most of the money in no very creditable manner . H ^ , however , left Leeds , and on Saturday morning returned with Mr . Thompson ' s mare , -which he had stolen from Harrowgate Stray during the night , aDd which he also took to Cowburn ' e , and offered her for sale , at a figure apparently below her value . This came to Whitehead ' s ears , and be went and took
him . into custody , charging him at the time with having stolen the animal . The latter case © nly was gone into , and on this charge the magistrate decided on sending the prisoner for trial at the West Riding sessions . We understand , however , that a bill for stealing Mr . Kirk ' s horse will be laid before the grai ; d jury at York Assizes , and that an habeas wili be applied for to remove the prisoner there for trial on that charge . The prisoner is Tvell known in the neighbourhood of Harrogar « , Ripon , &c . He is a very £ tout man , and we believe lived for several years with Mr . Mayuard , of Marton-le- Moor .
Thb " Rotal Mjcs" again . —On Saturday last , four young n > en , who gave their names and addresses Thomas Prince , bookbinder , Corona ^ ion-sireet , Joseph Walker , cabinet-maker , Mill Hill , Henry Gavins , machine-rsler , B&ck Rocfcinghaui-Btreet , and Joseph Waring , dyer , Billet-street ,-were brought before the magistrates at the Court House , the first named charged with having " wallopped one of the Charlies , " and the three latter with attempting to rescue hJm when he had been tak-n into custody . The parties , it appeared , were uut on a -spree , " and having become pretty -well primed , were up to the mark , and . as "Royal Mies" ought to do , refused to be quiet when told to be so , declaring their own independence , and their determination to " do as they liked , " not only whh themselves , but with other people's property . They wcie fined 20 s . each and costs , which was paid .
Robbing Hen Roosts . —On Monday last , a man named John . Cluderay , whose reported ofivnees are neither few nor far between , was brought before the magistrates at the Court House , charged with having been found on Sunday morning in the hen roost at Mr . Iredale ' s maltkiln , on the Dewsbury Road , with intend to commit a felony . A servant man , when he went to look after the horses , heard a noise , and dL = coTered the prisoner attempting to hide himself , who , ¦ w hen he desired h : a to come , as he was waiting for him , very coolly told him tlure were two more lads making their escapa over the-wall , and he had better go and take them , and he would wait in the stable until he came back . The man , however , thought one in ihe hand -worth two in the bush , and secured him . The place h ^ d been forcibly entered , but no poultry was missing . He was committed as a rogue and vagabond for three months .
Gabbed Rcbbbbt . —On Monday last , a msn named Joseph Greenwood , was brough- up » t the Court House charged whh having been fou&d in the garden of Mr ; Ellis , of Armlfcy , along wuh three or four others , at an early hour on Sunday morning . In consequence of frequent depredations , Mr . Eiiis had set a mia to -wa . ch bis property , and about four o'clock he came up with the prisoner and his companions ; the othrrsgot away , but G .-ew-nivood , after assauking the -watchman was sccurtd . There was no propcity missed ; the Magistrate ? , therefore , fined him £ 3 and costs for the assault , and in default of-payment committed him for two mouths to Wakefield House of Correction .
Dsxjs . bt DftovF . MM ; . —Oa Monday evening , an inquest was held at the hou-e ef Mr . Wm . Sanderson , the Fonntain Inn , Bridae-foat , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of Mr . Joseph Stephenson , yrh » "was taken out of the river Aire the sime morning , soon after six o ' clock . ^ The deceased was thirty years of a . se ; he has been for a number of yeara clerk with Messrs . J . and H . Richardson , solicitors , and was highly respected . There was no evidence at all to Bhow bow he got into the water . The last time he was known to have been seen alive was about a quarter past twelve on Snnday night , whfn he was leaving the Bnll and Sun Inn , in High Court-lane , from which place he walked with one of t " -: e
watchmen "to the end of the Call * . He was at tfaas time sober , indeed he had had very little to drink , and had been during the evening very full of spirits , and seemed as cheerful as ax ; y person could be . The end of tho Calls , however , terminating the watchman ' s beat" in that direction , he bade him " good night , " and Mr . Sephen-BOn , after asking the man if he was going no farther , turned back , and proceeded alone along the Calls , the watchman then losing sight of him . From this period he is not known to have beea seen , nor is it dear at wbatJiour he got imo the water ; his wateh , which he had in his waistcoat pocket , had stopped at half-past two , but as the cases are very tigbl it might have gone soma time after he bad got in . He mnsk , however , -have proceeded the whole length of Call-lane , and over Leeds Bridge , the body being
found above rhe bridge ; a bat and walking-stick were found by the watchman on that beat at four o'clock in the morning , on the parapet adjoining the river , and only a few feet from the place where the deceased was taken out ; these were identified as his , and their being found led to a search being made . The water wall or parapet , is at this place six feet above the level of the riTer , and is fenced off by strong posts and rails , the . rails bemg double except one length next the corner , where the top rail only goes across , so tbat it seems almost iapossible to suppose that he conld have fallen in , and there is an entire absence of motive for self-destruction ; the affair is involved in mystery . Under the 3 e circumstacnes the jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned , without any marks of violence , but how the deceased came into the water there is no evidence to show . "

The Biter Bit , —Few perhaps who are pot well acquainted with the habits and power of the weasel , will credit what we are about to relate , though it is not the onlysimilar instance that has come to our knowledge . A short time ago a gentleman , whilst npon a journey in the neighbourhood of Llandrindpd , observed a kite hovering near the ground within a distance of fifty yards from him ; he stopped and saw .-him pounce upon hisprey ; he then began to ascend to that measureless distance which seems to be his pride upon a hot day ; he had not , however ; left terra firma but a few seconds till he bogan to
quarrel with his bargain , he seemed as it were endeavouring to mend his hold ; at length , having ascended to a distance almost beyond the ken ofthe eye , he fell like a stone dead to the ground . Our informant immediately ran towards the spot , and to his great surprise saw a little weaser leave the body of the bird , and make leisurely away ; upon examining the kite , he found a wound upon the neck , whioh was the cause of his death , and the question seems to be—did the weasel ^ disentangle himself from the bird ' s claws , and yide comfortably upon his back till he effected his restoration t ° M 8 owa fi ^ atent?—Hereford paper : ;

It appears from the evidence taken before an 'inquisition , held the same day , by Sir Richard Franklin and Mr .

Gn Sunday morning-, for the Jast time , he renewed his plaint before his inajnoratu , but sho still refused . H « then wrote a letter , couched in the most -:-affection- ' ate terms , enclosed a lock of hair , and having dressed himself in his ree ; inientals , he deliberately loaded a .-large horse pistol , applied it to h'fo-h ' ead , and literally blew out hi 8 brains .

It alighted pri a farm called Ware Farm , in the qcqupation of Mr .

Speller was from home at the time ( about ten o ' clock at night ) ,:- ' and- Ins housekeeper and- servants were awaiting \ m Temrn . The first indication of the approach oJ the whirlwind was an unasual uoise , wiiioh produced a great deal of alarm among the
1 i . ma tew , who , hearing the piteous howling of the yard ai'if , ventured to look out of the door , in order toaacerr [¦ aiii the cause , when they saw the thatch and almost iho entire roof of the carthouso whirled into the air , aud the whole of the materials of tho shed scattered in all oireotioiis . They had no sooner rctreatdd to me dwcliinf-house , when the thatcli from a very jirge barn was forced agaiu > t it , and at the same naomeut the uitsB from the roof were Dearly all torn : off , and many of them -ihruwn to a great distance . It then pa .-sud on to the siack-yard , and coming in contact wifh a recejttly-sracked hay-rick , pulled it completfly to pieces , an a carried a great portion of it ue « ny bait a mile across the fieldB ; and 60 evenly was it spread , ih&t it had the appearance of having tjtvii carefully laid out to dry ^ The Jive etock on the lurm fortunately escaped , although Beveral trees around the pasiurts were torn up by the aoots , and oraiiy of them thrown to the middle of the fields .
Xlie si anding crops also received but iittle damage , a » d from th \ i it ia inferred that the power o > £ the wnirlwind must have kept from three tH four feet fiom the ground . It is somewhat extraordinarY lUat the tffeets of this uhaccountable visitation should be cOHfined to one farm , the occttpanta of nekhbouring farms having heard nothing of it till the following day . The poor dog was foand-buried in the ruins of . the shed , close to which he / was chained , but waa got out without having sustained any injury . The column of wind appears to have taken a circuit , as Bevefal trees in an opposite , diredtion were either torn up , or stripped of their branchvs . Where it first arose cannot be ascertained , but it passed off in a north-easterly direction from ihe farm , which fact was indioatea by the scattered hay . The noise produced is described as beiug temfio , and the destruction of property is very considerable . It is a singular fact that the same spot has several times before suffered severely froia storms ; on one occasion nearly all the standing corn was destroyed by tempest * 1 ¦ .-

Hercuies Outdone . —The mast stspetidous effort of human strength and endurance ever exhibited , or that ever may be again , was witnessed by a large auditory on Monday evening , at the Bowery theatre . It was announced in the bills that Moris . Paul was to resist tli e power of two of the strongest ; horses to be foniid iu New York , on a wager of 1 , 000 dollarg . The animals selected to pull against him were a pair of large sized Pennsylvania bred horses , that are in tlie daily habit of drawing from two to three tonsof granite at a load , suspended freman ; enormous track used for that purpose . Paul , after firing thecaBnon , weighing 4 Q 01 bs . from his Bhoulders , and ascending the fireman ' s rope ¦ feet uppermost to the flies , by means of his hands alone , and other Herculean feats ,
proceeded to place himself horizontally upon a strong oak ladder , made for the purpose , in order to make tho grand effort . The horses were led on by their regular driver j and harnesBed to a vope fastened to Paul ' s teet . To this rops was attached three broad ribands , or girths , one Of which v ; a $ drawn tightly oyer his loins , and the others over each shoulder ; The brace afforded by his feet against the step of the ladder , the divided power of the girths , arid ' . his hold with both hands upon the upper part of the ; ladd % constituted his only resistance to the itamease power he had to contend wich . Paul ' s bodyj when thus disposed , regctnblsd that of a malefactor upon the inquisitorial rack , preparatory to being torn to pieces ; When the colossal liorsea
were brought upsn the stag , 'e and attached ; to thei feet of the intrepid performer , a sensation of horror seemed to pervade the house . It was deemed certain , by those haviDe ; charge of the horses , that he w cuid be drawn off the ladder . The word was giveit' —tUe hariices straightentd—the ladder creak&d and Btrained ^ -the : two ropes by whichi one end of it waseecured to the stage stretched and threatened to break ; the horees , aided by a platform Bpon the stage with cleats ! to brace their feet ; , strained every muscle and vein , —the weli-known voice of the driver —the lash repeated again and again , all failedto force the enduring champion from , lua hold . .

his triumph . Pattl offered to jrepeat the ^^ performanoe , and to resist with , one haadv aad one feot , but the manager » efy propei'iy would not permit it .
