warding party at one o'clock P. M., who peram-
bulated the streets until six, and were then re-.
liew.ed by fresh, parties, who continu,d't he same
duty until eleven o'clock, wizen they were relieved
by the regular watching party of the night.
The Watch and Ward, belonging to districts
tight and ten, about two o'clock this morning,
were passing rp'ar Silver-stt eet (which is in N 0.7
district, but adjoining'S and 10), and hearing a
great noise, they proceeded towards the spot. At
the bottons of the street they met the regular
watchman, who said that he (host not go nearer,
for fear of his personal safety. On the approach
of the Watch and Ward, rite persons quart ening
called Out, " Here comes the -- Watch. and
Ward," One of the Watch and Ward (a Gentle-
man of the name of CLouGu, who resides in Char-
lotte-street) happening to be a few yards in advance
of the others, was attacked by two of the ruffians,
one of whom stabbed him near the-groin,
sharp instrument, and both of them instantly fled.
A A'OMBII who witnessed the attack gave such a
description of the men, that one of them (a man
of the name of !Jorrobin) was soon afterwards
taken, and lodgeti in the New Bailey. • The other

pear against the prisoners, who must necessarily
'be remanded until he can appear."
