      The Storm . —The severe gales which have prevailed during the last . ; . fortnight have caused-nun / erous 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 partic'ul . iHy destructive to the vessels in the Channel , a number of which were driven on the Irish coast and wrecker ! . TheJohn Stump , Pain , from Bombay , for this port , which had been announced off Holyhead , was driven ||

      by the severity of the storm towards the Irish coast , 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 Perriamliuca , 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 deatlt .

      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 ¦ ¦ rigging , their boat was stove in , and they were consequently unable to _ make for the Ripleywhen -she . hove in sight . When the Ripley ' s boat got near the wreck , the sea was so high that it could not board the vessel without imminent risk . Three of the crevy , however , though almost benumbed with cold , contrived to get an old sail under the stove-in bcvc . fe , and launching it , contrived to reach the ¦ Rip lfy ' s bout . The remainder of the crew \ rere saved in the same manner , and on reaching the Riplcy , were trei'te-ii by Captain Steward ii . nr ? his crew with the

      characteristic humanity of British seamen . \\ V-trust *' that their conduct will be acknowledged by an appropriaterewtml . —L /? ' « yA ' . / c // Albion . " Shipwregk akd Loss of Life . —On Wednesday week Mr . A . Ttegerthen , 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 ' ' bank of sand , oh which she struck when , on her voyage from Truro to Aberavon , with a cargo of copper * ore . The whole of the cargo was taken out and put into another vessel . Mr . J . Brabyn , ship-builder , having a good boat , stayed on the wreck , with several

      shipwrights and others , expecting by hard pumping to raise her from her dock , but aH proved ineffectual , for when the flood-tide came it filled her with water , and the sea threw her on her side ; they then hauled up their boat , and were proceeding into it , when , just as eleven of them had got in , a sea struck tKe boat , and drove it with such violence against the wreck , that it stove in the stein ; the next sea 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 stern , endeavouring to keep the bow above water , but the boat having an anchor in her she filled and immediately went down , leaving the distressed crew struggling among the breakers , and more than a mile from- the nearest shore . Mr . Tregerthen , feeling great for their

      anxiety safety , as the sea continued to rise with the flood-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 in among the breakers , Mr . Tregerthen succeeded in picking up 7 of the meHjJmost of them in an exhausted state ; and : Captain George with his boat succeeded in picking up 4 , but a poor little hoyV after calling out on his dear mother , sank to rise n ° more . The breaking sea and the flaod tide running about five miles per hourj soon carried both the boats far away from the wreck , it being impossible to pull against them ; They ; proceeded with all speed to I < lanelly , leaVing 6 of the menon the wreck in the rigging ) the seabreakingcontihually overtkem .

      vrarin beds , and medical gentlemen , weresoon attendance . On hearing the sad account that six wore-were on the wreck , and seeing them from ^ anelly through a spy-glass , Mr . John Britten and Mr . Thomas Hugh , tide-waiters , started off in the Queen ' s boat , and when the tide had a little slackened , succeeded in taking three of the men off the wreck , and bringing them safe to Llanellv Captain ReesHopkin , of the Mary , also went down in his boat , and took off the other three and

      brought them safe to Llanelly . Thus seventeen out of eighteen persons wefe , through the interposition of Divine Providence , rescued from a watery grave and are alt in at fair way of recovery ; Great praise is due to the , bravery , skill , and exertions of those individuals » who ventured their 6 wn dives for the preservatioh of their fellow-Tnen ; The body of the boy has not been picked up .. ; . - he was a son of Mr "Wilson , chief boatman in the Coaat . guar , j se ce and a promising youth .-r- Cambrian .

      During the storm on Thursday night , hear Arle » Queen's county , three persons perished . On Mon day , inquests were held on the bodies of two men * who were found dead near , Lei ghlin-bridge ' ¦ - and three others were lost within three ailes of Borris who were 'interred without an inquest . Ob th « same night three poor men , who resided in the Ca * tlecomer colliery , having closed up every aperture in 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 sunocated , ran out of the house and perished in the storm . The bodies of these poor people were interred on Monday , and whib depositing the same a coffin was discovered which contained the body of a man covered with a large frieze coat , in the pocket of which was found a pipe and : tobacco , \ He is supposed to be one of a party of Whitefeet who was shot some time since , and / was buried imn \ e . diately by his friends , in the clothes he bad op . Eleven men , proceeding towards home from the fair of Carnew , / Wicklow , took one of the roads in that mountainous district , by way of a " short cut > '' ? 1 Dd not being able to reach a place of shelter , were all lost . They were found on Friday evening , huddled together , and quite dead . Three men who attempted to turn back to Caruew during thestorm perished also . —Irish paper , ¦ : . - v ';'

      Lady-like Doings . —In the Insolvent Debtors ' Court , on Thursday week , Lady . Augusta Elizabeth Hawke was opposed on the part of Mesdamei Ltbasy- dress-makers , Regent-street , Mr . James lir . ea-draper , Charing-cross , and others . The in ' solvent had been discharged under the ; Act in 1332 . She had annuities payable through ; trustees of £ 300 ; The debts 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 passed to the creditors ., under the . former insolvency . The insolvent 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 Hawkins * Harley , or Harding , and never had bills sent to hi in the name of Clarke , but had always gone by fte name of Lady Hawke . In answer to a . question from Mr . Hancock , a licensed victualler , ag to whether she had herself consumed all the articles he had supplied to her , the insolvent said she had sect a compliment of gin to her butcher , and told him the gin-was better at Mr . Hancock ' s Viouse than . any 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 named West , at Cranbrook , in Kent . It appears that Kennard , who is stated to be possessed of a little property , had resided at Cfanbrook , 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 frequendj declared , with an . oath , that he would one day ct

      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 execution , and it did Wot have the effect of preventing * repetition of the annoyance of which he complained , It appears that on several oecasions ; after Kennard had made the threat in question , hehadbeen apoyed in the same manner . The deceased man , West , had been intim&te with Kennard , and the latter haulent him a sum of money . . On Tuesday night , betweeii nine and ten o ' clock , West went to Kennard ' s house tor tlie purpose or repaying the money hei had / toN

      rowed , ' and also to make Kennard a present of some H game . The latter , it appears , had gone home some B n time before , and had retired to rest when West a c knocked at . the front door . Not being able to obtain 9 any answer at ; the front , he went round to thegardeh 9 ^ pate , where he also knocked , but was still unable to jl r , obtain any answer . Itwould appear that Kennard , 9 g { hearing the noise , and imagining that it was some a a nVsc-hievous person who was disturbing him ,: im- ^ o mediately , without making any inquiry , proceeded S to load his gun , and stationed himself at hii 8 ^ front window . West being tired ; of knocking at . g the back of the house , returned $ o the front'II n

      door , and again knocked at it . The knockerwa a S ( scarcely out of his hand when Kennard lifted apth * S y ( sash , presented the gun at him , and shot him through a gj the bead ; he then shut : the window ; and returned to \ M 0 ] his bed , leaving the unfortunate deceased where he ¦ .:. £ , fell . lie was soon discovered by the passers / byj bat ; B ^ quite dead . Application was . ' ¦ ¦ then made to the pn- 1 so ' ne ' r to allow the deceased to be laid in one of hi * jj out-houses , when he replied "that he'd be d—— if . ' / . he should lie put there . " Information of the melan- . ^ ch . ply event having been forwarded to the coroaer . for " this division ' of Kent , he immediately directed the necessary steps to be taken for . holding an inques ^ T and . Kennard was taken into custody , A strict N

      inquiry subsequently took place before the coroner , p . p when the above facts were , elicited . The jury , after id a lull iavestigatibn , returned a ) verdict of " " WilW : 1 . sn Murder against Samuel Kennard , " and the coroner a « e accordingly issued his warrant for his commitment to J : in the county gaol . It is hafdly necessarj ' to add , that m ac the occurrence has created a very great sensation at a .. Cranbrook and the neighbourhood . 3 ^ Lambeth-Street .- ——Lately , soon after the j 3 ;_ Hon .

He put some questions to to ¦ and learned that her name was Kitty Woodward , ^ I that she was a native of Cork , but had Jived in . ^' country for many years .

Twelve Carlist battalions

Don CARios , after stopping one day at Tolosa , with the Infante Don Sebastian ^ set out for Esteiia on ihe 22 nd . ; A letter from a correspondent in Alexandria , dated February 1 , states that a Pole who had escaped from Teflis , and had made his way , to Egypt , had been claimed by the Russian Consul , and . that he had been delivered into the hands of the latter

      by order of Mehemet Alii . The unhappy < deserter was immediately fut on board a Russian ship ,-and sent to Constantinople , where he was given up to M . de Boiitenieff . A number of Poles were embarked in each of the armed vessels of the Russian imperial navy . During the Viceroy ' s la ^ te visit to Caiidia , a Russian frigate , then lying off the . coast of that island , had on hoard fourteen Poles , one of whom , formerly an officer in the aTmy , was employed . in a menial capacity . Since their embarkation , which was two years previously , they had been allowed once to go ashore .

      Hanover . —The King of Hanover has annulled the elections of Lunenburg , Hildesheim , 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 timeion 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 .

      Deprayityv A man named Ozanne , who appears to be a man of some property , was rec < ntiy condemned , by one of the French provincial . tribunals , to five years' imprisonment and a fine of 350 francs for the seduction of . his own daughter . . The French penal code cbntainf a paragraph making it a crime , punishable by fine and imprisonment , to he habitually instrumental in ' the corruption oi' yourh . This paragraph has been taken advantage : of on ihe present occasion . The prisoner appealed apdnst the sentence , on the ground that he had not been Jidbi tuaily guilty of the offence ; but this quiVble was not allowed to prevail .

      The Bedouin Arads were exhibiting their feat ; of strength and agility at-the -Court Theatre-of Brunswick , in the evening of the 4 th ult ., when the following deplorable tiectdent happened : —One of them was throwing a somerset over the heads , of his compauions , 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 staggered and fell . A medical ma . ii im ^ mediately examined the poor boy , and found that the wadding of the gun had entervd the back of his neck . The matter was extracted , and hopes were entertained that thu wound was not sericu . - —

      vomitings came on , and before morning the sufferer was dead . On examining the wounded part afterwards , it was found that cne of the vertebrae of the neck / was broken , and the spinal marrow injured . During this operation the countenances of the Bedouina expresssed the deepest distress . The man who . had caused the death remnined crouched in iv corner , with his eyes fixed on the body , without gesturexir motion , as if completely stu ^ jficd . On the 6 th the body waa washed , and then deposited in the burying ground , without any ceremony , according to . ' the customs of Africa .

      jLxceedingly distressing accounts of the disasters occasioned by the last high tides appear in-the . Paris papers . On the 25 th and 26 th of February , the districts of Lois , Ars , Lacov . avde , -and Gilien , in the island of Ithp , were overflowed by the sea . The loss sustained by the inhabitants is estimated at 4 , 000 , 000 francs ( £ WO , 000 . ) The sea forced . a passage through the dikes , destroyed the crops in the barns , milled the salt-in , the stores , and injured the vines and grain . The districts of Lanonc , St . Marie , Martrais , and Riveron zlso suffered

      considerably . The rait marshes and works near- G we - randa were also inundated ( hiring the nightof the 24 tb , with a great loss of property . At La 1 ' o . chelle the tide covered the quay- ; , and was at one moment on the point of entering the pround floors of the houses . On the coast ' of ; Brest the sea likewise rose to an unusual height on the morning of the" 25 th , inundating a number of housts and . stores in Camaret , and ruining several edifices contiguous to the bridge . The fishing-boats , which had been drawn up on the strand for the winter , were with difficulty saved from total destruction . ¦ "
