THAMES,

EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE IN AN EATING-11017SE.—
Thomas Duggan, a cooper, a wild-looking f,llow, without
ccat or neckerchief, who appeared to have been engaged in
a desperate affray, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged
with assaulting Mr. Robert Ford, who keeps a ham and
bebf shop, in High-street, Stepney.

The prisoner entered the prosecutor's shop yesterday
evening and purchased two of those interesting delicacies
called saveloys, and at the same time took up a piece of
meat, which he put into his mouth and devoured. Mr.
Ford charged him 2d. for the saveloys and a penny for the
piece of meat he had eaten. The prisoner at first started
no objection to pay for the meat he had swallowed, but
after Mr. Ford had returned him his change for a six-
pence tendered in payment, he demanded another
penny, and on Mr. Ford refusing to give one, he took up
a long and thin ham and beef knife with which he made
several stabs at Mr. Ford. The knife struck against Mr.
Ford's ribs and was bent. There was no chance of it entering
his body. The prisoner then attempted to seize other
knives, and swore he would cut up the eating-house keeper.
Mr. Ford put the knives out of the way, and made an
nat-
tempt to eject the prisoner. A long and severe struggle
took place, and the prisoner beat Mr. Ford severely,
and then rushed out of the shop. Mr. Ford imme.
diately followed him, on which the prisoner's coin-
wpahniiloens
Duggan, five or six in
him
u
pummelled
The prisoner then ran away, and on being pursued by
Mr. Ford, ran into a public-house in Stepney-green,
took up a pint pot and hurled it at Mr. Ford. It fortu-
natelymber, held Mr. Ford
most unmercifully.
missed him and fell among the crowd assembled in
front of the house without hurting any one. The prisoner
was then given into custody.
Mr. Thomas Broadbank, a gentleman residing at No. 4,
Gainsborough-road, Tredegar-square, confirmed the evi-
dence of Mr. Ford, who would have certainly been murdered
if the prisoner had taken up any other knife than the one
he used, and which bent with every blow.
The prisoner, in defence, said that he received 18s. for a
job be finished yesterday, and got drunk. He lost his
money, lost his coat, and lost his cap. He had also been
locked up all night.

Mr. Selfe—You have been guilty of most dangerous and
reckless conduct, and committed a violent assault on a re-
spectable tradesman. You are sentenced to one month's
imprisonment and bard labour.

.REMOVAL OF MRS. VYSE FROM

NAWGATE.

Yesterday the authorities at the Home office having at
last decided as to the ultimate place of safety in which this
unfortunate person should be confined, information of the
fact was immediately transmitted to Newgate, and the
Governor was directed to be in readiness to deliver
over his prisoner. Yesterday a messenger arrived
at Newgate directing Mr. Jonas to convey Mrs.
Vyse to Fisherton House, where directions had pre..
viously been forwarded. On being informed of the
arrangement, Mrs. Vyse requested that her sister, Misa
Saunders, might accompany her, and no objection being
raised to the application, the Governor, Miss Saunders, and
Mrs. Vyse left Newgate for Fisherton, where Mr. Jonas
delivered his prisoner.

THE LATE CITY SOLICITOR.—The funeral of Mr.
Charles Pearson will take place on Tuesday next.
THE ROUPELL FORGERIES.—Up to two o'clock
this afternoon Roupell had not arrived at Newgate. lie
is expected in the course of the day.
CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—The October ses-
sion commences on Monday next.

STACKS SET ON FIRE BY A RAILWAY ENGINE.—
On Wednesday morning last, about half-past 11 o'clock, a
fire, which at one time threatened the whole of the stacks
and buildings with destruction, broke out on the farm pre-
mises of Mr. Mountain, at Banthorpe, near Stamford.
Immediately on the intelligence of the fire being received
by the Stamford fire brigade, the engines wore despatched,
and arrived at the farm a little after 2 o'clock, but before
they could succeed in subduing the fames, seven stacks of
corn, hay, and straw were totally consumed. The buildings
were, however, fortunately saved. It is supposed the fire
was caused by a spark from an engine passing on the Great
Northern Railway, which runs within 20 or 30 yards of
the farm.—Stamford Mercury.
The duties of the Admiralty are still conducted
by Rear-Admiral Charles Eden, C. 8., Rear-Admiral
Charles Frederick, and Mr. W. G. Romaine, C.B.—Army
and Navy Gazette.

The Duke of Somerset has left his official resi-
dence at Whitehall for the country, and will probably be
absent for a few weeks, unless his presence be urgently re-
quired in London.—.Army and Navy Gazette.
Captain John Moore, C. 8., Private Secretary to
the First Lord, left the Admiralty yesterday for the
country, but is expected to return about the middle of next
week.—Army and Aavy Gazette.
Captain Augustus Phillimore (1855), late in com-
mand of the Curacoa, is to succeed Captain Powoll, C. 8.,
on board the Defence.—Army and Navy Gazette.
TnE FEDERAL ARMY.—The mercantile letters
from New York state that the Federal army is reported to
be demoralized and unable to oppose the Confederate inva-
sion of Maryland, and that it was apprehended that within
a week the communication between New York and Wash-
ington, except by water, would be cut off. The losses of
the Federal army, it is added, are supposed to be very much
greater than has been represented in the newapers, and the
Southerners are said to have captured many guns and an
immense quantity of provisions and munitions of war.
APPLICATION FOR A THEATRICAL LICENSE.--
At the Town Hall, Gravesend, on Monday, an applica-
tion, by Mr. Kehler, for a license to perform " Stage-Plays"
at the Assembly Rooms, Harmer-street, was granted.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO mR. GEORGE OWEN,
THE TRAGEDIAN.—On Saturday night, the 13th instant,
a serious accident, we regret to state, befel Mr. George
Owen, the tragedian. While performing in the last scene
of the last act of "The Corsican Brothers," at the Theatre,
South Shields, Mr. Owen accidentally fell down one of the
traps at the back part of the stage, and sustained a fracture
of his right leg. Upon the accident occurring, perform-
ances were at once brought to a termination, and the audi-
ence left the theatre, Mr. Owen was subsequently con-
veyed to his lodgings, where the fracture was reduced by
Dr. Ridley. Mr. Owen, who Was formerly Lessee and
Manager of the South Shields Theatre, opened that place
of amusement about three weeks ago, and Saturday evening
was the closing night, he, with Mrs. Owen, having to fulfil
an engagement at the Thearre Royal, Whitby, on Monday
evening. In consequence, however, of the unfortunate
accident which occurred on Saturday night, Mr. Owen will
be unable to appear on the board of any theatre for some
time to come. Mr. Owen is much respected in South
Shields, and his friends sympathise greatly with him on
the serious accident which he has unfortunately sustained.
