The Storm . —The severe gales which have prevailed during the last : fortnight have-caused ¦ numerous and melancholy disasters to -the shipping . " A reference to our shipping" intelligence will " show , that the storm of Thursday and Friday week , u ben the wind blew from the eastward , was particularly destructive- to the vessels in the Channel , a number of which were driven on the Irish coast and wrecked . The John Stamp , Pain , from Bombay , for this port , which had been announced off Holyhead , was dri ven by the severity of the storm towards the Irish
eoast , where she was wrecked at Kilkeel , county of Down , on Friday week . Seven , of the crew unfortunately perished . The Paragon , Watt , which sailed hence on Tuesday week for PeraamWeo , was driven on shore on Saturday week , at Ballynecker Strand , near Wexford , and six of the crew drowned . The Riplcy , which arrived- on Friday from Bombay , brought the crews of two vessels which had been rescued from a miserable deat't . Captain Steward deserves the highest praise for the humanity which he displayed on falling in with both the wrecks , but particularly on falling in with the wreck of the Catharine , Davies , from Swansea to Plymouth . The crew were lashed to the ringing , their boat was stove in , and they were consequently unable to make for the Ripleu when she hove in
sight . VY hen the Riptey ' s boat got near the wreck , the sea was so high that it could not board the vessel without imminent risk . Three of the crew however , though almost benumbed with cold , contrived to get an old sail under the stove-in bor . fe , and launching it , contrived to reach the Riplcy ' s boat . The remainder of the crew were saved in the same manner , and on reaching the Rip Icy were tre :-te . i by Captain Steward v . M his : crew with tlie characteristic humanity of British seamen . W ' g trust ; that their conduct will be acknowledged by an appropriate reward . —L / vcrpcjol Albion . " Shipwreck and Loss of Life . —On "Wednesday week Mr . A . Tregerthen , harbour-master of . Llanelly , went with his boat and crew about two
miles below the harbour , to assist in saving the cargo of the schooner Active , of Dartmouth , E . George , master , which vessel lay a wreck on a ' bank of sand , on whichshe struck when , on her voyage tram Truro to Aberavon , with a cargo of copper ore . lhe ^ whole of the cargo was taken out and put into another vessel . Mr . J . Brabyn , ship-builder , havmga good boat , stayed on the wreck , with several shipwrights and others , expecting by hard pumping to raise her from her dock , but all / proved ineffectual for when the flood-tide came it filled her witt water and ; the sea threw her on her side ; they then hauled ^ 2 ^^ -Sk ™* Proceeding into it , when just eleven of them had
, as got in , a Sea struck iff * boat , and drove it with such violence against the wreck , that it stove in the stem ; the nextsea threw the boat far ^ astern , when the sudden jerk of the painter tore the stem clean out from the bow . The crew then drew all together into the stem , endeavouring to keep the bow above water , but the boat paving an anchor in her she filled and immediately went down , leaving the distressed crew , struggling among ti e breakers , and more than a mile frbnv the nearest shore . ^ Mr . Tregerthen , feeling great anxiety for their safety , as the sea continued to rise with the Hood-tide , had anchored about two hundred
yards of the wreck , and was watching their proceedings "> Captain George was also at anchor hear them when , seeing the sad accident , they instantly weighed , aud rowing ia among the breakers , Mr . Tregerthen succeeded in picking up 7 of the meH , Jmost of them in an exhausted state ; and' Gaptain ' George with his boat succeeded in picking up 4 , but a : poor little boy , after calling out on his dear mother , sank to rise no more . The breaking sea and the flood tide running about five miles per hour j soon carried both the boats far away from the wreck , it being impossible to pull against them . They : proceededwith
all speed to + 4 anelly , leaving 6 of themenon the wreck intberigging ) * he sealjreakingcontinuall yovert&em . On arriving at tlauelly , the sufferers were conveyed to

During the storm on Thursday night , hear Arle » Queen ' s county , three persons perished . GnMon ' day , inquests were held on the bodies of two men * who were found dead near Lei ghlin-bridee an ^ three others were lost within three miles of Borris who were interred without an inquest . On the same night three poor men , who resided in the Cas . tlecomer colliery j haying closed up every aperture m their cabin to protect themselves from the snow lay down near a large fire of those coals , which ton ' tain a . quantity of sulphur , and were found dead in the morning ; their sister , in her attempt to escape being suffocated , ran out of the house and perished in the storm . The bodies of these poor people were interred on Monday , and white depositing the same

Lady-like Doings . —In the Insolvent Debtors ' Court , on Thursday week , Lady . Augusta Elizabeth Hawke was opposed on the part of Mesdamei Lcbas , dress-makers , Regent-street , Mr . James hi ea-draper , Charing-cross , and others . TheMn ' solvent had been discharged under the ; Act in 1832 . She had annuities payable throug h / trustees of £ 300 . The debts i . in the present schedule amounted to £ 677 ... The learned Commissioner Harris said , if the annuities could have been made liable to the creditors , they would have parsed to the creditors , under the . former insolvency . The in ' selvent stated that her annuities ; had ' been paid in advance . She had received about £ 88 . since January , but "had ; nothing left to pay into Cburt She had not assumed the ; names . of .- ¦ ¦ Eaw " kuM *
ilnrley , or Harding , and never had bills sent to her in the name of Clarke , but had always gone b y the name of Lad y Hawke . In . answer to a . question from Mr . Hancock , a licensed victualler , as to whether she had herself consumed all the articles he had supplied to her , the ihsolvent said she had sent a compliment of gin to her : : butcher , and told him the gin was better at Mr . Hancock ' s house than an > where else ; she wished to induce the butcher to deal with Mr . Hancock . ( Laughter . ) Her ladyship was ordered to be imprisoned three months from the date of filing her petition .
Murder in Kent . —A man named Samnel Kennard Was brought to the county gaol at Maidstone on Saturday , charged , upon : . the coroner ' * inquisition , with the murder of a man namea West at Cranbrook , in Kent . It appears that Kennari , who is stated to be possessed of a little property , had resided at Cranbrook , and that he was given to drink and was frequently intoxicated . While in that state frequent jokes had been : passed upon him ; and , after he had gone home to his house , he had been annoyed by persons knocking and ringing at his . door . This incensed him to such a degree that he frequently declared , with an oath , that he would one day cr
other shoot some of the persons who annoyed him in the manner described . Although it was " known that Kennard had a gun in the house , yet it was not believed that he would carry his threat into execn . tion , and it did Wot have the effect of preyentinga repetition of the annoyance of which he complained , It appears that on several oecasions after Kennard had made the threat in question , he had been " annoyed in the same manner . The deceased man , West , had been intimate with Kennard , and theflatter had lent him a sum of money . On Tuesday night , beWeeiv p ine and ten o ' clock , West went to ' Kennard ' s house for the purpose of repaying the money hei had /
borrowed , and also to make Kennard a present of some game . The latter , it appears , had gone home some tine before , and had retired to rest when West knocked at . the front door . Not being able to obtain any answer at the front , he went round to thegafden gate , where he also knocked , but was still unable to obtain any answer . It . would appear that Kennard , hearing the noise , and imagining that it was some mischievous person who was disturbing him , immediately , without making any inquiry , proceeded to lo . ad ^ - his gun , and stationed himself at his front ' ¦ window . West bein g tired ; bf knocking at the back of the house , returned ; to the front
door , and again knocked at it . The knocker wa scarcely out of his hand when Kennard lifted up the sash , presented the gun at him , and shot him through the head ; he then shut : the window ; and returned to his bed , leaving the unfortunate deceased where he fell . He was soon discovered by thepassers . byj ba : quite dead . Application was then made to the prisoner to allow the deceased to be laid in one of hi * out-houses , when he replied < Y that he'd be d— - if l . e should lie put there . " Information of the melancholy event having been forwarded to thecoroaer for
this division of Kent , he immediately . directedthe necessary steps to be taken for holding an inquest * , and ; Kennard was taken into custody . A strict inquiry subsequently took place ; -before the coroner , when the above facts w ef e elicited . The jury , after a full investigation , returned a . ' verdict of " ViilW Murder against Samuel Kennard , " and the coroner accordingly issued his warrant for his commitment to the county gaol . It is hardly necessary to add , th at the occurrence has created a very great sensation at C ranbrook and the rieigbbourhood .
Lambeth-Street ,- ^——Lately , soon after the Hon . Gv . C . Norton took his seat on the Bench , police constable . W . Perry , H . 71 , came before him and stated , that in consequence , of an app lication made to him about half an ; hour , before by some ' the inhabitants in the neighbourhood , relative . to » female who was dying at the bouse No ., 20 , K ? f market-stfeet , Whitechapel , he went thither , and on going up slairs . he found a middle aged femals lying on thefloor of a miserable apartment ; in which there was not a vestige of furniture . ; ; The unfortunate being appeared in the last stage of misery ' the few rags she had on her were not sufficienttff cover her , and her arms and other parts , of her bod ? being naked , it could be seen that she was . redoes to a mere skeleton , with the bones ^ almost protrudiDf
through the skin . He put some questions to ; hff » and learned that her name was Kitty "Woodward , afl ? that she was a native of Corky but had lived in ^ country for many years . She stated that she Jjr made application for . relief to the officers of VThi ^* chapel , but they refused to do anything fpr , l * beyond passing her : to Ireland : He also learne " from her that she formerly got her living by selliD ? things in the street , but latterly she existed by gating a little broken victuals from some bum ^ families' in the : neighbourhood ;; hut being q ^ unable to go out since the morning , she was . ft "" that time without sustenance . The officer addea ^ that he was Certain the ; unfortunate woiiian ** dying as fast as she could from want of necesar ! ' and if something was not speedily done for b « f )| . would be a corpse , and he waited on his ffor > w "
to knowwhat was to be done . Mr . Norton desired him to proceed . at ° nW to the relieving-officer or overseer of Wbit « B » P parish , and to tell them that if they did not P ^ ' ^ g mediate attention to the case , they must abide to
consequences . ¦ ¦ ¦ . -- . "¦¦'' ¦ - . ¦ " Perry in va short time returned , and said that ° ? going to Whitechapel workhouse , he was &xe c t £ r go . to the house of Hughes , the relieving-o »?' which he did , but found' thathe was out atten ^ to his duties . He then proceeded to the ¥ jj * ¦ Ahnond , the second relieving-officer of the " !" chapel Union , but he could hot interfere , . *• , case was oui of bis district , and recommended ^ ( Perry ) togo atonce to Mr .

: A letter from a correspondent in Alexandria , dated February 1 , states that a Pole who had escaped from . Tettis , and had made his way to Egypt , had been claimed by the Russian Consul , and \ that he had been delivered into the hands of tbelatter by order of Mehemet Alii . The unhappy . deserter was immediately fut on board ' ¦ ¦ a Russian ship ,-and sent to Constantinople , wher ^ he was given up to M . de Boutenieff . A number of Poles were embarked in each of the armed vessels of the Russian imperial navy . During the Viceroy ' s late visit to Caiidia , a Russian frigate , then lying off the . coast of that island , had on board fourteen Poles , one of whom , formerly an officer in the army , was employed , in a menial capacity . Since their embarkation , which was two years previously , they had been allowed once to go ashore .
Hakover . —The King of Hanover has annulled the elections of Lunenburg , HilcLcsheim , Stade , and Harburg . ^ The deputy of Gottingen , M . Hugo , has not been allowed to take his seat in the house . Accounts from this last city of the 23 rd , mention that news from the capital was there expected with great anxiety . The electors of Hanover , convoked for the third time on the 20 th , refused to proceed with a new election , in compliance with the royal rescript , which had declared their deputy unduly returned . The principal cities of the / kingdom , consequently , will not be represented in the States . '
Depravity . ^ A man named Ozanne , who appears to be a man of some ' property , was red miy condemned , by one of the French provinciat . tribunals , to five years' imprisonment and a fine of 350 francs for the seduction of . his own daughter . The French penal code containl a paragraph making it a crime , punishable by fin | ahd imprisonment , ' to be habitually instruinental in ' the corruption of . youth-. This paragraph has been taken advantage of" on-the present occasion . The prisoner appealed ab'dnst the sentence , on . the ground that he had not been hdlA tuady guilty of the offence ; but this quibble was not allowed to prevail .
The Bedouin Arads were exhibiting their fcati ; of strength and agility at the Court Theatre of Brunswick , in the evening of the 4 th ult ., when the following deplorable accident happened : —One of them was throwing a somerset over tht heads . of his companions , and at the . same time firing a musket charged with powder , when the youngest of the party , a youth , aged 16 , without uttering a cry or speaking a syllable , withdrew behind the scene , and there stag ^ rcd and fell . A medical ma . ii im . mediately examined the poor hoy , nnd found that the wadding of the gun had enterv . d the back " of his neck . The matter was extracted , and hopes were entertained that the wound was not
serious—vomitin . es came on , and before morning the sufferer' was dead . On examining the wounded part afterwards , it was found that cne of the vertebrEe of the neckwas broken , and the spinal marrow injured . During this operation the countenances of the Bedouins expressst-d the deepest distress . The man who" had caused the death remnined crouched in a corner , with his eyes fixed on the body , without gesture-or motion , as if completely stupified . On the ( ith the body way washed , and then deposited in the burying ground , without any ceremony , according to . ' the Customs of Africa .
. Exceedingl y . distressing recounts of the disasters occasioned by the last high tides appear in the Pari * papers . On the 25 th and 26 th of February , the districts of Loix , Ar ^ , Lacov . arde , and Gilien , in the island of It he , ' were overilowed by the sea . The loss sustained by the inhabitants is estimated at t , 000 , 000 francs ( £ 1150 , 000 . ) The sea forced a pas ' sage through the dikes , destroyed the crops in the barns , meiled the salt in the stores , and injured the vines and grain . The districts of Lanonc , St . Marie , Martrais , and Riveron also suffered
considerably . The-salt marshes and works near- Gncranda were also inundated din-ing the nighfof the 24 th , with a great loss of property . At La IlQchelle the tide covered the quays , and was at one moment on the point of entering the pfround floors of the ho . uous . On the coast of Brest the sea likewise rose to an unusual height on the morning of the' 25 th , inundating a number of ' houses and stores in Caniaret , and ruining several edifices contis ' uou ^ to the bridge . The fishing-boats , which hr . d been drawn up on the strand for the winter , were with diflicuHv saved from total destruction . .. "
