VIOLENT ASSAULT.

UNION-HALL.—William Daniels, a patrole, was
charged with severely wounding a poor man named
Laws, on Sunday morning last. It appears that
Laws had passed the preceding evening at a public-
house in the neighbourhood, where he met with a
sailor, who proving to be his countryman, both
coming from Birmingham, Laws had invited him
home. The sailor accepted the invitation, but be-
'corning quarrelsome in hi:-4 cups, Laws found it ne-
cessary, although he is a military man himself, to
call the aid of the civil power about three o'clock in.
the morning, to assist in turning his new acquairi-
tance into the street. Instead of doing this, how-
ever, Daniels struck Liws, and seizing him by the
collar, dragged him into the street, when Laws' wife
called out that her husband would be killed.—
Daniels swore he would have his life, and .striking at
him with his sword, wounded *him severely on the
side of his head. Laws was immediately taken to
the hospital, where he still remains ; and .Daniels
was remanded till Laws shall be suffici, ntiv recovered
to appear at this Office.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-Yesterday two women
of the names of Sullivan and Fitzhenry,
committed for trial ti)r robbing Mr. Barnet of a 101.
note, and other articles, in Drury-lane. The prose-
cutor was cruelly treated by ruffians who were con-
'cerned with the prisoners:

The following is the Extra& of a Letter received
yesterday from Rio Janeiro, dated Sept. 18 :-
" The Bear arrived this morning from -Rio
She brings intelligence that the new Viceroy Ol
Buenos Ayres has granted permission to all Englisla.
Residents at that place and it's vicinity to prolong
their stay in that country for three months from tild
date of the 16th of August, after which time their
residence will not be prl,7ltted. The Treaty t hat
was to have been signed in the latter end of Au-
gust is not yet concluded, but I suppose it
reach your country with the Lord Hobart pack(tt.—
If it had been settled, it would have been sew by
the Con,fiance sloop of war, which sailed on the
23d ult. It is conjectured here that the &lay in
the signing of the Treaty is owing to the .recent
change in the Government of our neighbours the
Spaniards ; but I cannot say positively whether
there is yet any •negociation going forward at La
Plata, though one was spoken of as a certainty at
the time of Sir SIDNEY SMITH'S departure; never-
theless, the obstructions that were previously thrown
in the way of commerce at La Plata, are now in
• some ,measure removed by the smuggling trade§
which is allowed only to pacify some of the people
at Buenos Ayres, though this permission is under-
stood to be only extended to the period of the depar•
cure of the English. The ships that have. unloaded
will not be permitted to take in any cargo for Eng-
land, but must now proceed with their cargoes to
Rio and Para, which, no doubt, the Spanish Go.
vernment are aware of, I believe that Admiral Da
COURCY is still off La Plata, or in its vicinity, as we
have no ship of war here, but exped the arrival of
the Magicienne frigate, with the three, brigs and c
cutter that took the convoy from England to thr:.,
Cape in May last. The Lord Hobart piCket is ap"
pointed to sail on the 20th just."

Yesterday died, at his house in .Seymour-place;
after a long and painful illness, JOHN GEORGE, Lord
MoNsoti-= This most amiable and deeply regretted
young Nobleman had just entered his 24th year.
He succeeded his father, the late Lord, in iBOGi
and the following year married Lady SARAS SA-
VILLE, eldest datighter to the Earl and Countess of
MEXISOROLOH, by whom he has left a son, born la
March last.

Five French Officers, on their parolee Tiverton,
