IN RE THE MITRE ASSURANCE COMPANY.

This was a meeting for the last examination in the case
of the Mitre Assurance Company, carrying on business in
Pall-mall, but no accounts had been filed.

Mr. G. Buller, the accountant, is at present unable to
submit any satisfactory statement, and in consequent e of
the voluminous nature of the accounts it will be some
months before they can bo filed.

Mr. Bayley, for the assignees, applied for an adjourn-
ment, which was granted until the 7th of January next.

POLICE EVTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SANGUINARY AFFRAY FORTUNATE INTERPOSITION
OP THE POLlCE.—Cornelius Riley, a tall, stout fellow, and
Mary Riley, his wife, the first-named of whom was
smothered with blood, and had a pair of frightful black
eyes, the remains of a previous affray, were charged with a
frightful assault on a man named Patrick Roche, in Chapel-
place, a well-known fighting court.
The complainant, who is said to be a quiet man, was en-
tering his house in the court, when the male prisoner pulled
him out, and, with the assistance of two other men, savagely
assaulted him, the male prisoner trying his utmost to gouge
out Roche's eyes, all the while Mary Riley striking him
over the head with a pair of heavy tongs, till the man was
so injured and exhausted that he was obliged to be carried
to a doctor's, his head being severely bruised and he covered
with blood. A person named Spooner, who saw the nature
of the affray, had fetched the police, and there is little doubt
that, but for their fortunate interposition, Roche would
have lost his life, as one of the witnesses said the prisoners
tried to get Roche into their house to " finish him."
Constables having corroborated the other witnesses, it
was stated that the Rileys had mistaken the prisoner for
another man.

Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the male prisoner LS or two months,
and the female £2 or one month.

THE ENCOUNTER IN NORTHUMBERLAND•STREET.
—On inquiring at the Charing-cross Hospital this morning
it was ascertained that both the injured parties were pro-
gressing very favourably.

THE GREAT EASTERN.—We have authority for
stating that the Great Eastern is tobe employed regularly in
the trade between Liverpool and New York, but as at this
season the prospects of receipts from visitors at Liverpool is
good, it is intended to exhibit the ship at that port from the
second week in August (when she is expected to return from
Quebec) until about the 10th of September, when she will
sail for New York, returning to the Mersey about the mid-
dle of October.

The Gironde, of Bordeaux, has received a warn-
ing from the Prefect for an article on the Budget and the
Legislative Body, the said article "attacking the State, and
insulting the institutions which France has given herself."
This is the first warning given to the press since the am-
nesty, and the first application of the law of the 13th June,
1861.
