DESPERATE AND MURDEROUS OUTRAGE
BY A GREEK SAILOR. •

On Sunday night, shortly after eleven o'clock, the
utmost alarm and excitement was caused among the
inhabitants of St. George's-in-the-East in consequence
of the following outrage on two Englishmen, who were
stabbed by a Greek sailor, named Emmanuel, belonging
to a. vessel at present lying in the Victoria (London)
Docki, and from the fearful wounds they have received,-
little or no hopes are entertained of their recovery.
It appears that a number of foreign sailors were drink-
ing in front of a beershop in Lower North-street, neer
thewell• known place named Tiger Bay, St. George's-in-
the-East,.when two young men, named Charles Shrews-
bury and Thomas West, went in and called for some
ale. There were two sisters named Eliza Booty and
Jane Booty, both women of the town, drinking
with Emmanuel and another Greek sailor. The
young man Shrewsbury kissed one of the women, when
angry words ensued and a general fight outside. the beer-
shop. One of the females was heard to say " Out with
your knife," and the next moment. Emmanuel drew
from his breast a stiletto and plunged it into the abdo-
men of Shrewsbury. West was then attacked, and he
soon received a similar injury in the side and a stab on
the head. Both men fell bleeding on to the ground,
when several of the neighbours, and the publican from
the' Bee-Hive Tavern, came out to their assistance, and
messengers were sent for the police, and in a few
minutes several constables, with Sergeant Egerton, of
the H division, hastened to the spot, and found the
wounded man as above described.
Mr. Richardson and other medical gentlemen were
called and the injured men were conveyed on stretchers
to the London Hospital, where they were at once [ad-
mitted, and. placed under the care of Mr. Ruttledge, the
house surgeon, who found the stab wounds to be deep
and dangerous. The police went in search of
.the
Greek sailor 'al* the others, and at one o'clock yesterday
morning. Sergeant Egerton and other officers succeeded
in a.pprohendini• the'two women and one of the Greek
sailors; but the man Emmanuel and another woman had
effected their escape, but they will, no doubt, be secured
in a few hours.

It is still reported that the Conservative party
intend to make the equalisation of the customs'
duty on paper the occasion of a great party con-
flict on Monday next.-
Lord John Russell has appointed Lord Dufferin
to the post of British Commissioner to Syria.
His Lordship only returned from a long tour in
Syria and Egypt last autumn.
Australian' coal, for sometime past, has been
sent to India and China, in consequence of the
price of English being so high, as well as of
comparatively small supplies.
