t e nItVI een tregret to state that Mr. Marquard, the superin-
tendent ot
dis-
persing a disorderly mob on Stepney-green, on Wednes-
day night, was stabbed by some cowardly miscreant. It
appears that a Chartist meeting was announced to be
held on Stepney-green on that evening, and precautions
were taken to prevent any outbreak. The whole of the
K division, both horse and foot, were mustered in the
vicinity of the Green; a squadron of cavalry in readiness
to act if necessary, were drawn up in the grounds at-
tached to the King Harry Tavern, in the Mile-end-
road; a numerous body of special constables were also
at hand. Towards eight o'clock a few stragglers made
their appearance on the Green, and their numbers
continued to increase until half-past eight, when the
road became impassable, and the horse patrol of the
K division received orders from Mr. Marquard to

I clear it, and keep the t'uorouglifiiro open for carriages
and 'wises. This was effected, but not without
some diflizulty, and there was a good deal of yelling
an I abetting on ttn part of the mob, which at half-past
eight o'clock consisted of about eight hundred persons,
principally youths, thieves, and disorderly persons,
from the neighbourhood of Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel,
and Ratcliffe-highway, with a sprinkling of Chartists
from Bethnal-green and the vicinity. No speakers pre-
sented themselves, although the Chartist leaders pro-
rui,ed to be there. After the superintendent had

repeatedly remonstrated with the people, who appeared
bent on mischief, and ccmmenced groaning and hissing,
the whole of the K. division advanced from five different
points, under the direction of Inspectors Horne, Fraser,
Holmes, Waller, and Smith, the horse police charging
in front. The green was soon cleared, but the mob
rallied again in the side streets, which Mr. Marquard
gave orders to clear. The police, who acted with exem-
plary forbearance, soon effected a clearance; but up-
wards of two hundred traversed a very circuitous route,
and made their appearance on the Green, near the
Royal Oak, once more. The mounted police were drawn
across the road, and intercepted them. A few stones
were thrown at the police, and the rabble groaned. Mr.
Marquard then gave orders for the ground to be again
cleared, and the police charged the mob, and inflicted
some hard knocks with their truncheons on the most re-
fractory, and in less than two minutes the Green and
surrounding thoroughfares were free. The mob did not
re-assemble. When the last charge was made Mr.
Marquard was in a narrow street within a few yards of
the Green, driving the people before him, and calling out
to them to get out of harm's way, but not using his
truncheon, when he received what he supposed was a
kick on the left leg, and of which he took no notice; but
a few minutes afterwards, feeling the limb very stiff and
painful, he was induced to examine it, and found his
stocking and boot covered with blood, which was flowing
copiously from a deep wound in the top of the leg. Mr.
Marquard was carried to his home in a state of great
suffering, and was immediately attended by Mr. Falconer,
a surgeon, who, on examining the wound, stated that he
received a stab from some double-edged and very sharp
instrument.

PitINCESS'S THEATRE.

---
The notion of an inherent sanctity in the person
of royalty, which was illustrated by Ne touchez pas
a le Reine—played at this house as Dying for a Kiss
—has served for the foundation of another drama,
entitled in English Spanish Marriages. A young
gentleman, who is in love with a great heiress, has
saved the life of the Queen of Spain, and thus has
earned the Royal favour, while he has put his neck
in jeopardy. The deed of heroism was performed is
the dark, and a foppish personage, hoping to obtain
the hand of the heiress, who has resolved to marry
the Queen's preserver, takes advantage of this cir-
cumstance, and pretends to be the real hero. A con-
demnation to the scaffold of the man who has
dared to touch the Royal person, even for the
purpose of preservation, induces the impostor to
abandon the dangerous honour, while the
genuine man of valour glady accepts the peril.
The Queen has merely devised the condemnation to
discover the truth, and bestows the hand of the
heiress on her preserver. The fopperies of the im-
postor (played by Vining) cause some amusement,
but, altogether, the piece is a weak one, with little to
distinguish it from other ephemeral productions of the
kind. The principal female characters are made as
effective as they can be made by Mrs. Stirling, Miss
Cooper, end Miss Emma Stanley. A ballet divertisse-
ment called Menorella is without novelty of idea, but
is rendering pleasing by the talents of Mademoiselle
Aurioli anu Mr. Flexmore. The lady displays great
vigour and power of execution in her dancing, and
Flexmore, who is one of the best clowns of the day,
shows much fantastic invention as a comic mime:
The Crown Diamonds is played at the Princess's on
alternate nights, and Madame Thillon is supported
by Mr. Allen. The re-engagement of this gentleman
is highly advantageous to the company.

Tug JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL.--A special
meeting of the Ancient and Honourable Lumber Troop
was held on Wednesday night, at the Troop Hall, Fetter-
lane, to take into consideration the rejection of the above
Bill by the House Of Lords. The colonel of the troop,
upon taking thechair, briefly explained the progress of the
Bill until its rejection by the House of Lords ; and some
excellent speeches were delivered on the subject by Mr.
Marsh and Mr. Fitzwalter. The latter gentleman ob-
served that the constituency of the city of London was
not likely to submit tamely to the implied dictation of
the House of Peers. Baron Rothschild should present
himself at the table of the House, and as he of course
would not take the oath "on the true faith of a Chris-
tian," a new writ would issue, and then it would be seen
whether lordly bigotry was to bear down_public opinion.
THE NATIONAL GALLERY.-..MR. VERNONS
Ple-
TUREs.—Yesterday the trustees of the National Gallery,
issued the following regulations to the public for view-
ing the pictures recently given by Mr. Vernon to the
nation, at that gentleman's mansion in Pall-mall:—
"Regulations for viewing Mr. Vernon's pictures.—The
public to be admitted by tickets on the Tuesday and
Thursday of etch week from the Ist of May to the 9th
of September, 1848, between the hours of ten and three
o'clock. Tickets to be obtained on application at the
National Gallery on the first four days of each week.
Not more than three hundered tickets to be issued for
each day."
Lord John Russell will find his most formidable
antagonists in that overwhelming body of the middle
and working classes, who are equally determined to keep
the peace and to have extensive reform.—Patriot.
