(WORSHIP-STREET.

A tall muscular man, named George Torbernan,
pauper of Bethnal Green, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Broughton, charged with having assaulted and
wounded an old man, named James Elmsley, and also
with having committed violent assaults upon several
policemen.

It appeared from the evidence of the complainant
Elmsley, that he was formerly a weaver, but outing
to distress, he had been compelled to become an in-
mate of Bethnal Green workhouse. A trifling sum of
money having been presented to him by a relation on
the preceding day, he obtained leave of absence for the
afternoon, and good-naturedly invited the prisoner to
participate in his enjoyments. After drinking for
some time at his expense in a public-house, the pri-
soner began to abuse some strangers who were in the
room, and on being remonstrated with by witness, he
snatched up a quart pot, and struck him several vio-
lent blows on the head. Ilis head and face were
covered with blood, proceeding from the wounds
which the prisoner inflicted, and whilst he was endea-
ng to retreat, the prisoner struck him another
blow with the pot, which laid him prostrate. A rush
was then made upon the prisoner by the rest of the
cornpanv, who dragged him into the street, and wit-
ness was conveyed to a surgeon, where his wounds
were dressed.

Sergeant Alderman II 7 stated, that on hearing of
the outrage, he repaired to the spot, where he found
the prisoner surrounded by a crowd of persons who
gave him into custody. He told the prisoner that he
must go to the station house, upon which the latter
instantly struck him a violent blow under the ear and
exclaimed "-- you, I am a Chartist, and if there
were only a few thousand such as me in the country,
we would drive all the police to h—." Additional
assistance having arrived, the prisoner, after a violent
resistance, was conveyed to the station-house.
Police Constable Burcham stated that he was in
the station-house dressed in private clothes when the
prisoner was brought in, and upon seeing him the
latter said, " You are one of the Chartist-hunting
villains in disguise, you, I'll muzzle you ;" at
the same time striking him a severe blow on the nose,
which bled very profusely. The prisoner then seized
hold of his thumb and twisting it round, caused a
sprain, from the effects of which his hand was disabled.
He was forced by several of the policemen into one
of the cells, where some other prisoners were confined,
but soon after he was locked up a cry of " murder"
NN as raised by two poor Germans, upon whom he had
made a brutal attack, and he was then handcuffed and
removed to a separate cell.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that a more desperate ruffian
had never been brought before him, and he should
commit him to the House ofCorrectionfor two months.

STATE of the MANUFACTURING

DISTRICTS.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
The Chartist turn-out may now be considered as
entirely at an end in this district—the resumption of
labour at Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge, Hyde,
and Stockport, being now complete ; and the weavers
in this town, who have shown great obstinacy in their
adherence to the strike, having yesterday returned to
their work, in such numbers as showed that the gene-
ral combination amongst them was entirely broken
up. Some few establishments, both in the town and
in the country districts are still at a stand ; but we
believe that, in all such cases, the absence of the
workmen from their employment arises from some
accidental cause, unconnected either with the original
ground of the turn-out, or the demands which subse-
quently sprung out of it.
There is, however, a new turn-out at Bolton' -which
ought not to be confounded with the political move-
ment which has just subsided. The Bolton spinners,
after having been partially turned out by a body of
strangers, resumed their work ; but, thinking that
they were entitled to an advance of wages, gave re-
gular notices to their employers that such advance
was required ; and, the demand not being complied
with, the greater part of them left their work last
Friday night. Of course there is nothing in the cha-
racter of this turn-out to prevent the employers from
entertaining the proposals of their workmen, or from
giving the advance required, or any portion of it, pro-
vided they find that the circumstances of the trade
are such as to justify that course. We fear, however,
it will turn out that the demand has been premature,
and that the spinners will find their masters wholly
unable to comply with it.
The entire failure of the Chartist turn-out of the
Bth of August, and especially the return of the work-
people of Ashton and Stalybridge (who commenced
it) to their accustomed labour, will enable us to offer
some observations on the origin of that singular
movement, which we have contemplated for some
time past ; but which for reasons hereafter to be ex-
plained, we have thought proper to postpone until the
peace of the district was fully restored. We shall most
likely advert to this subject on Saturday next.

The fishing in Lochfine during the present week
has been of a very remunerative kind; and the fishermen
admit, that so far as the season has gone, it has, both in
quantity and quality, been the most successful they have
experienced for twenty years.— Scotch Paper.
