THAMES.

WOUNDING.—Bridget Fitzgerald, a masculine woman,
who has given the magistracy and police a good deal of
trouble, was brought Mr. Paget charged with violently
assaulting Isabella Quin, whose head was bandaged.
The two women met in a public-house, called the East
India Arms, High-street, Poplar, and quarrelled. The
complainant reproached the prisoner with reporting that
she had lost all her hair. The prisoner called the com-
plainant a fearful name, and took up a large drinking-glass
with which she struck the complainant a severe blow on
the forehead which felled her to the ground. A severe
wound was inflicted, and complainant lost a large quantity of
blood. The glass was broken in many pieces by the force
of the blow. The potman of the public house and another
witness confirmed the statement of the complainant.
Mr. Paget said he was determined to repress by every
means in his power the use of unlawful weapons among
the loose women in the district, The prisoner had com-
mitted a very savage assault, and one attended with great
danger on the complainant, whose eyes very narrowly
escapedserious injury.
He sentenced the prisoner to im-
prisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction
for four calendar months.
The prisoner, on hearing the sentence, said she could do
it on her head, she would serve the complainant ten times
worse when her imprisonment expired, and would be
amply revenged.
ASSAULT ON TIIE POLlCE.—Robert Braxton and William
Bush, labourers, were charged with assaulting John
Cussy, a police-constable.
The complainant was called to suppress a disturbance
in High-street, Wapping:
Braxton and another man were
fighting. Cussy told them to go away. Braxton imme-
diately attacked him, threw him on his back, and kicked
him. He also tore tho policeman's pocket off. Cussy
drew his staff and struck Braxton on the head with it.
Bush and others got him away from the constable. A
few days afterwards Cussy and other constables found the
prisoners and 11 or 12 others assembled in the same place.
They formed a line across the street and pelted the police
constables with stones. The policemen charged the pri-
soners and their companions with their truncheons and
dispersed them, wounding several. The prisoners were
afterwards secured. Their conduct was described by
several witnesses as savage and cowardly.
The prisoners were sentenced to be imprisoned for two
months and kept to hard labour.

From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week have, in most instances, been very
gloomy. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver-
hampton the late bank suspension, together with
the advices from America, has caused a very de-
pressing effect upon all branches of business ; both
cloths and yarns at Manchester have given way
owing to discouraging accounts from the East, and
the few orders executed have been at a reduction in
prices, while the hosiery and lace trade at Leicester
and Nottingham have remained exceedingly dull,
with a downward tendency in prices.
