ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A GREEK PRIEST,
PARIS.
ISACARUS, a native of India. known to ti,any Eng.
lishmen visiting that City, and who has long officiated there as
a Greek Ecclesiastic, was last week attacked near the Altar ontis
Chapel by a villain, who attempted first to tilt rust Litt tongue, and
then sever his head from his body with a ramie or knife! Al-
/hough his throat has been cut its many plaliks..yet,his long beard
appears to have saved him from instant destruction. His mouth,
face, and hands, are also mangled, and he now lies in an Hospital
a shocking spectacle. The assassin is in chains in prison, and will
•
speedily be brought to trial.
An appeal is now made to Englishmen, which is never done in
vain, in behalf of suffering humanity.

ATRULY.PISTRESSING CASE.— Among all
the calamities of a private nature, occasioned by oppPesslon
2nd injustice, perhaps the following is the most distressing, yet easier
remedied than any made public for some yens past :—Thomas
istwoodi late of Stelling, near Canterbury, farmer, who has a wife
and family of seven children, was, after a loss of £3OOO by unforeseen
calamities and misfortunes, and the badness of the times, com-
pelled to go to prison in January, 1892, on two actions of debt
amounting to £172. His loss in the year prior -to his imprison-
spent was at least £1000.• Siting made bankrupt, he passed his
final examination Slptember, 1822, when the Senior Commissioner
expressed himself in the presence of the Assignee thin—" Mr. At-
wood, we, the Commissioners are perfectly satisfied with your ac-
counts, and your conduct has been that of a Gentleman througheut
tie business.”—Thomas Atwood not being in execution, or under
any sentence of Court, has received no allowance whatever
from the Plaintiffs, or the Assignee, and is, after the loss of all
.his property and nearly two years' imprisonment, now in the
Fleet Prison, unable to get his discharge, and is, with his two elder
Children dreadfully distressed, without daily support, sihile his
WiSe, a fenlale of delicate sonstitution, borne down by misfortune,
is, with five of the Children and her Mother, 72 years of age, at
St. Peter's-lane, Canterhury,•in the most abject state of distress,
existing on Parish Allowance of Bs. 6d. per week, 3s. of which
they pay for rent, leaving only 51. 6d. foe the support of Seven
Persons. Words are inadequate to describe t 1 state of wretched-
ness to which this Family is reduced, having heretofore enjoyed the
comforts of life, bat now, through unforeseen circumstances, are
in want of every article of necessity. For a small sum of. money
T. A. maid obtain his discharge these sixteen months past t to ena-
ble him to do so, get his certificate, and return to his &shined
Family, this humble appeal is made to a generous and humane
Public for assistance. This case will bear the strictest test of in-
quiry, and printed Particulars seen at Messrs. Riddell and Ross,
in-
wiry, Dealers and Grocers, 86, Fleet-market; and at Mr. Edward
Becket's, Printer, 59, Crawford-street, Mary-la.bonne ; who have
kindly consented to receive Subscriptions for T. Atwood, No. 4,
in the Fair Fleet Prison. The smallest Donation will be most thank-
fully received and gratefully acknowledged.

IMPORTURE UNMASKED.
TILE progress of MERIT, although frequently as-
sailed, is not impeded by Ewer and Drmictunt. The ag-
gression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscious rectitude
vdtimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand object—public
approbation. The test of experience is the guarantee of fiwour, and
liasestablishod WARREN'S BLACKING in general estimation;
of w‘bieis there cants not a stronger proof than the tacit acknow-
kdgment of * host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude
oa the smeary a sporious preparation so the genuine article, to the
great•Vpointmem of the unguarded purchaser and manifest in-
jury of A tupust, whose character and interest by this iniquitous
sygelli ate 'Egliallf `subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an
indispensathr duty to CAUTION THE PUBLIC against the
samamoorri,ot Unprincipled Venders, who having no character to
bur, and stintubsed by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at
the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour!

All otkess are counterfeits; and in many instances the imposition
labels are artfully interlined with a different address, in very small
