TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARK.

Last night William Williamson, a carman in the employ of
Mr. Rhodes, of Islington, was brought up, charged with a most
outrageous assault upon John Hurley, a watchman, in Tooley-
street ; who stated, that the prisoner, without any provocation,
came up. to him, and in a most deliberate manner struck him with
a shovel, which cut him down the face ; had he made good his
aim, it would have cut his head in two. After which he made
good his retreat. The assault was proved, and John Bassett
was called, who said, that on finding the manner in which Har-
ley had been used., he suspected that some stratagem would be
put in practice for the escape of the prisoner, who had gone to
Barclay's brewhouse, in Stoney-lane. watched the waggon,
which was driven by a different man. Observing something
mysterious in the behaviour of the driver, he stopped it, and
on proceeding to search, found him buried in the grEns,
and succeeded, in lodging him in the watch-house for
the night.- The Magistrate told the prisoner that he might
congratulate himself on the narrow escape of the complainant,
as had the blow taken the effect intended, his life would have
been sacrificed toThe offended laws of his country.—Fully com-
mitted.

A boy, twelve years of age, named Edwin Jones, shopman
to Mr. John Jones (no relation), of No. 14Z, High-street, was
charged with having robbrd his employer of Is. 6d. It ap-
peared that Mr. Jones, suspecting he had been often robbel
by the prisoner of small sums of money, marked 10s. with
a punch, and placed it upon the chimney-piece of his bed-
room. Some of the money being missed, the boy Jones was
searched, and the sum missing found upon him, with the marks.
The Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Smith, upon committing him
for re-examination, observed, that it was exceedingly improper
to expose children of a tender age to the temptation of money,
as it was reasonable to suppose they could not withstand it.--
Also that as some portion of blame was attached to Mr. Jones
he hoped he would withdraw the charge and not be the means
of preventing him from recovering his rank in society by a dif-
ferent line of conduct which the boy faithfully promised to do.

GREEcE.---" An Autumn in Greece," and
" Greece to the close of 1825."—These two im-
portant Works, the delay& d publication of which
has held the public mind so long in suspense,
have at length made their appearance in one
volume. They present a very interesting picture
of the state of affairs, with some of the most va-
luable information we have yet received, upon the
subject of that unhappy country. The former of
these accounts gives, in a vivid style, sketches
and anecdotes of the Military and Political
Chiefs, and of interviews with the enterprising
Capitani, and their hardy followers, interwoven
with an adventurous personal narrative; there is
also narrated a singular event which decided the
fate of Lord BYRON'S protegee. The lattercom-
municates, in a letter to the Right Hon. GEORGE
CANNING, the latest authentic details direct from
Greece, a review of its revolutionary state and
relative situation with respect to the Ottoman
and the other European Powers ; together with
observations made during a nine years' resi-
dence, on terms of connection and intimacy with
the Greek people.
