STABBlNG.—Catherine Sheen, a young woman, was
charged before Mr Partridge with cutting and wounding
Mary Ann Crawley.
The complainant, whose left arm was bandaged, said she
was dwelling at 4, Bluegate-fields, Shadwell. Yesterday
e seated near her own door
evening she was with the prisoner and another young
woman. The prisoner left them in the Commercial-road,

do not care for your bullies or fancy men."
She replied
that she had no bullies or fancy men. The prisoner directly
raised a knife sit:, carried in her band and stabbed her twice
with it. The prisoner raised her hand to stab her a third
time, and a young woman who was standing by prevented
her. The same young woman called for a police constable,
who took the prisoner into custody.

In answer to questions by the magistrate, the witness
said that she was servant in a bad house, but not bad
herself. (A laugh.) The prisoner was a girl of the town.
She had been drinking with the prisoner.

Catherine Matthews, the wife of a brushmaker, stated
that she was with Sheen and Crawley, The prisoner first

then called each other liars, and the prisoner stabbed at
Crawley with a knife she was using in cutting up food.
The women caught hold of each other's hair. Witness
endeavoured to separate them, and was cut on the hand by
the prisoner. A row ensued, the prisoner went in doors,
and the mob that collected in the street broke the prisoner's
windows.

Mr Robert Hughes, house-surgeon in the London Hos-
pital, said the prosecutrix was brought there last night.
There were two incised wounds on the left arm, caused by
a knife being drawn across it.

Mr Partridge said the quarrel between the two women
was a very petty one and very disgraceful. He committed
the prisoner for trial.

Extraordinary Scene in the Tyrol,

A remarkable event has lately happened in the
Tyrol. About the end of last month a man was
sentenced to death, to pay the costs of the trial, and
ail damages demanded, for assassinating one gend-
arme, trying to assassinate another, killing two men,
resorting to violence against the guard in the exe-
cution of their duty, and wounding another man
The culprit, a man named Gasser, had threatened to
kill his wife; she heard of it, and took refuge in a
neighbour's bouse,whereupon Gasser shct the neigh-
bour's dog. The neighbour complained to the police
and two gendarmes were sent to arrest Gasser, but
when he got to his door he fired upon them. One
fell dead, and the other was severely wounded.
On this, gendarmes and guards from another place
were called up. Gasser had barricaded himself in
his house, had three guns, and fired on everyone who
came near. The corpse of the dead gendarme was stilt
before the door, and a relation of Gasser, trying to
take it away,
was shot dead. The excitement was
now intense. Some of the besiegers posted themselves
in the house opposite, fired away at Gasser's house,
and received his fire in return, losing one dead and
hiving another wounded. In the course of the day
a hundred shots were fired against Gasser's house,
and at night he was still in possession. The weather
was bitterly cold, all his windows were broken, and
during the night he took refuge in the cowhouse.
Next morning two cannon were brought up and
some tan cannon shots fired 0
the house. At last,
as all seemed quiet, a body
of men stormed the
house, and found Gasser lying
exhausted, or rather
crouching down, on the floor. He had opened the
veins at his wrists and lost some blood; but the
state of the house, with the windows broken, and
stains of blood on the Thor, baffled all description.
The account of the man
himself is that he was
between 30 and 40, married a second time, father of
two children, passionate drinker of braudy, a bad
character,btawliog, a passionate sportsman. The scene is at

THE ANNIVERSARY MEETING OF THE CHARITY
CHILDREN.—This interesting meeting took place
to-day at St. Paul's Cathedral. The attendance was very
numerous, and the appearance of six thousand children,
supported by the parishes of the metropolis, was peculiarly
gratifying. The effect of the singing, by these six thou-
sand young voices, of the Old Hundnth Psalm, of the
Coronation Anthem, and of Handers divine Hallelujah
Chorus, was sublime beyond description.
