King-street, St. Jaar!s's-squar
George Christie,

On Thursday morning, about eleven o'clock,
as Mr. James Evans, the superintendent of Thames
Police, was going up the river in a Police galley, rowed
by Cromarty and Jones, river constables, and while
passing the front of Somerset-house, a large piece of
coke, nine or ten pounds weight, was thrown from the
terrace or the window of the Stamp-office, facing the
river, which fell on Evans's shoulder, and seriously in•
jured him. The lump afterwards fell in the bottom of
the boat and was broken to pieces. Mr. Evans and his
men immediately landed, and endeavoured to ascertain
who had thrown the coke, but were unsuceessful. They
learned, however, that coke was burned in the Stamp-
office, and Evans has no doubt that it came from that
establishment. Had the coke struck him on the head,
in all probability he would have been killed on the spot.
Evans, who was on his way to Scotland-yard at the
time, made a report of the circumstance to the Com-
missioners of Police.
THE FISHMONGERS' AND POULTERERS'
UNITED BENEFIT SOCIETY.—The annual festival of this
useful Society was celebrated on Friday at the Mitre
Tavern, St. Martin's-lane ; Mr. Goodman in the chair.
Mr. Fairman ably officiated as Vice Chairman. Nearly
100 ladies and gentlemen sat down to an excellent repast.
The Chairman in a very happy manner proposed the
usual loyal toasts, which were received with enthusiasm.
The healths of her Majesty the Queen and his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales, being members of the
Fishmongers Company, had especial honours done to
them. Mr. Goodman, in a good speech, proposed " Suc-
cess to the Fishmongers' and Poulterers' Benefit So-
ciety." Then followed in succession several other toasts
referring to the praiseworthy charities established and
prosperously carried on by both trades. The greatest
good humour prevailed. Several of the members fa-
voured the company with some excellent songs, one of
the best of which, perhaps, was a song evidently com-
posed for the occasion ; it was cleverly gives by Mr.
Forrester, the Secretary, and elicited great applause.
JONATHANISMS.--AS a proof of the hard-
ness of the times, there's a man at Ohio who only kills
half a pig at a time. An epicure, down East, has his
game dressed so high that he is obliged to get
out of his
garret-window to eat it —Punch.
