VIOLENT ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO
MURDER.-We last week gave-the particulars of a murder-
ous attack upon William Manley, one of the constabulary
officers, by six men, on Newton Moor, with the view of
preventing his appearance at the ensuing Chester assizes,
in the prosecution of the Rev. Mr. Stephens. Since
then, another violent attack has been made, almost in
open day, upon George Nicholls, a special constable, of
Dukinfield, and a corroborative witness against Mr.
M.Douall, a Member of the National Convention for
Ashton, on a charge of misdemeanor, whose trial will come
on in the ensuing month at Chester. A systematic animo-
sity has prevailed amongst the working cla:ses of that dis-
trict against Nicholls, for the part lie has taken in the pro-
secution ; and he has already been deprived of employment
at his usual colliery, in consequence of the colliers of New-
ton Wood having struck against his working in those pits,
whilst his peace and his life has been threatened in a
variety of ways. On Monday last he had been at Sta.
lybridge ; and on his way home to Dukinfield, by the
canal side, he was attacked by John Cooke, of Staly
bridge, and John Williamson, of the same place, cotton
spinners, who threw him into the canal, and then ran
away. Fortunately two privates of the 20th regiment,
now stationed at Dukinfield, were passing at the mo-
ment, in the advance, one of whom pursued, and the
other jumped into the water to the assistance of Nicholls,
who, after being released from drowning, joined the pur-
suit with the other soldier. After a severe chase, Cooke
was run down ; Williamson, uho is a determined charac-
ter, succeeded by the interruption of the turn bridge, and,
thus cutting off the pursuit, got clear away. Nothing can
exceed the exertions made by the soldiers; and to them is
owing both the preservation of Nicholl's life, and the ap-
prehension of one of the villains and the identification of
the other.—Since writing the above, Williamson has sur-
rendered ; and on Wednesday the two prisoners were
brought up at the Court House, Stalybridge, for examina-
tion. The prisoners have been admitted on bail to appear
on Friday.—Stochport Advertiser.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE ARGYLL

STEAMER.—We have the painful task of announcing a
very fatal accident which occurred last Thursday on board
the Argyll steamer, while that vessel was on her annual
pleasure trip during the fair, to Locbgilphead, with up-
wards of 200 passengers. The vessel, according to cus-
tom, was to touch of different places on her passage, and
the first was Renfrew Ferry. She had just stopped at the
Railway Wharf there,and new passengers were on the act
of getting on board, when the boiler burst with a tremen-
dous explosion, to the terror and dismay of all on board.
The consequences were dreadful. Boiling water and steam
rushed out upon the passengers in a torrent, and all was
confusion and terror. When the steam had cleared away,
the fatal effects of the explosion were at once ascertained.
Two engineers were killed almost outright—a fireman
was so seriously injured that he was not expected
to live when the accounts came away, and five
or six of the passengers wore grievously scalded.
Prompt assistance was immediately afforded to the
sufferers, and all, except the engineers and fireman, are
expected to recover. One of the former was a frighful
spectacle, his face and head being dreadfully lacerated by
the force of the explosion. The fireman was in the act of
descending below when it took place. We have only
I eard one cause assigned for the bursting of the boiler.
It is stated to have been recently patched, and the new
plates having been imperfectly rivetted, could not resist
the pressure of the steam. No fault whatever, we believe,
can be imputed to the Master.—Scots Times (Glasgow).
LAW.---LOOSE WOMEN.-It appears that the
City police have received orders to remove all prostitutes
whom they may find walking at night in Fleet-street, or
any other large thoroughfare. One of these wretched
females was brought before Sir Peter Laurie on Friday at
Guildhall, when Sir Peter said if the police bad been in.
strutted to take up these women for merely walking to and
fro they had overstepped their authority, for the law made
them punishable only when they conducted themselves in.
decently or riotously. The policeman said the metropo-
litan police apprehended these women for only walking up
and down. Sir Peter replied that the city officers must
not follow that example, or they might have actions for
false imprisonment brought against them. Mr. Whithair,
the superintendent, came in to explain the order. He
meant to prevent women from patrolling a particular dis-
trict. If a woman walked from Temple-bar through Fleet-street and straight on she was nottobpneoiintte,
