ATTEMPT to AS,7,ASSINATE MAJOR-GEN. EADON-

[ MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—lresterday morning the most
1 intense interest was ex-cited at the west end of the town, in coan--
sequence of a horrid and blood-thirsty attempt upon the life of
Major-General EADON, at his,iseSidenet in Ilerkeley-squar“
by a man 'named William Padmore, of respectable appearance.
who, under pretence of communicating some priw.te busin
to the General, sought an interview, and with. a Twitcher's knife
stabbed hiM in several parts of the body, by which hi's life is
placed in the most imminent danger. The prisoner was taket-i
into custo4y immediately after the act, and carrfeato a watch-
house, from whence he was conveyed in a coach Without loss. eit
time to Marlborough-street, handcuffed and double-iron 4 in
care of several officers, Callowed by a vast crowd of persons.
J. E. CONANT, Esq. immediately attended to the case, arig;
Sir 'Wm. Eadon, the General's nephew, and several of h.
servants attended to give evidence, the substance of which was,
that the prisoner called at the General's house, and said he
wished to speak 'to him. The General desired the servant tst
tell the prisoner he could not see him. The General at the
same time came Out of the parlour to desire the servant to turn
; the intruder out of doors; on which the prisoner rushed upoo-
him. A scuffle ensued ; the servant could not. separate them ;
they both fell, and the prisoner inflicted several wounds with a
butcher's knife on the General, who bled profusely. The Ser=
rant then called for help; on which Sir W. Eadon, nephew to the'
General,. ran from his room, and heard his uncle exclaim; "Oh ! I
-am stabbed, I am stabbed.'" Sir W. ultimately succeededin ex-
tricating his uncle from thiSdreadful situation, which was a task
of great difficulty, the prisoner having
.so, fast a hold of the
General. He !band his uncle wounded in three placer; w....!1
butcher's sticking knife, and seized the prisoner, who made nfr
resistance. Mr. Earle, sur,4eon,. of Georg ..street, was instantly
sent for, who staWl. that -on, his arrival ne found the Genera:
weltering in blood • and in a very faint state; examined his
wounds, of which he found Were were three under' the right
breast of a most serious nature. One of them, in particular,;
which he had probed, was three inches. deep. Did not appre-
hend any immediate danger, but it' was impossible, at present,
to give a positive opinion. He dressed the wounds, and bail
the. Genet al removed to his lied. The General was in so weak. 41'
state as to be incapable of speaking.
The Prisoner, on being called 'upon for his ifra:nce,
I have. had cause for what I have done. r anew the dread-
ful situation in which I stand in consen.,ence of it; but my der
termination was fixed, and my n‘f•ott mach up to abide the
result. I must decline, for tbf, present, saying more. 7
Mr. CONANT said, the evidence was conclusive of a preme-
ditated intention on ale part of the prisoner to commit the
crime of murder. and his dirty was to commit him for trial. Ile- `-
was accordingly ordered to be committed to Newgate.
