POLICE REPORTS.

V tuntat.L.—MariinShuis;rier, the Frenchman charge',
with having attempted to assassinate his master (also a
Frenchman) on the stairs within the dome of St. Paul's Ca.
thedral, was brought tip again yesterday, in order that be
might be liberated, agreeably to the suggestion of Mr. Al.
derman Ansky, as stated in our last; but Mr. Alderman
WINCHEITEII (.he Sitting Magistrate yesterday), haring
heard the evidence read over, ordered the prisoner to be de-
tained until the Sessions.

WORSNIP-STREET.—BRUTAL assumr.—Yesterday Jo-
seph Marsden, a stout, middle-aged man, was charged be-
fore Messrs. TATFOID and BENNETT with assaulting
George Gallois, a man of dlininitive stature.
It appeared in evidence that the parties are both dyers,
employed in the same manufactory, and that on Tuesday,
in consequence of a dispute having arisen about a trifling
wager of 2d, the prisoner threatened to throw the coin.
plainant out of the window unless he was paid ; the latter
refusing to do so, the prisorer deliberately took him in his
arms and actually threw him into a vat nearly full of liquid,
composed of indigo, copperas, lime, &c. where he was in.
stantly surrounded by the other workmen of the factory,
who, Instead of getting him out, stood laughing at him.
Van, one of the officers, having inquired into the nature
of the assault, said it was a miracle that the man had escaped
with his life, the vat being nine feet In depth. As it was. a
quantity of the liquid got down his throat.
Complainant.—Your Worships, I have been espeeterst-
ing blood, more or less, ever since. Ile threw me into the
vat, like a dog into a river. I think he was instigated to do
it by the other workmen. •
Prisoner (quite unconeerned).—Your Worships, we had
been drinking together. I had no wish to hurt the met
any spite against him. I merely chuck'd him in,as it were.
Mr. Twrroan suggested that they should make it up by
talking together.
Mr. BEN NETT..—They can't make it up. It is a most
atrocious case, and merits a severe fine.
The prisoner, in consideration of having a large family to
support, was fined in the mitigated penalty of Ws. or, in
default of payment, one month's imprisonment. Committed.
MAILLHOILOCGH-DTEEET.—Nr. Harrison, of Wardour.
street, again appeared before the Magistrates, for the pur.
pose of communicating the particulars of the arrest of
William Wheatley alias Walker, who is in custody at
Ems, a city in the Grand Duchy of Nassau, and concerting
measures for the safe conveyance of that notorious character
to this country, he having been deta'ned at the suit of the
innkeeper, to whom he was indebted a very considerab'a
sum.

Mr. Harrison said he now found that it was necessary
that the warrant for forgery, which was granted in Jam.
ary, must be backed by the Lord Chief Justice, to enable
the German authorities to deliv.r Wheatley over to the
English civil power.
The magistrates repeated that any aid they could bestow
to enable Mr. Harrison to bring Wheatley to this country.
they would cheerfully afford, and Mr. Harrison, who ha.
made such strenuous efforts to apprehend Wheatley, thcr.
withdrew to the Clerk's office.

THAMES POLICE.-It will be recollected that a person
named Brinell came to this office about a fortnight ago. at d
stated to the magistrates that one Thomas Elliott, fotmetir
Quarter-master of the Sit David Scott, East Indianian, bad
been murdered on board that ressel when off Canton, in the
year 182 h, by sonic of the officers haring confined hint and
another seaman all night in the . spirit room without Wr.
that Elliott was suffocated and brought out dead the hest
morning.
The magistrates, in consequence of Ilumell'a inforntation.
have instigated the fullest inquiry into the circumvent-v.
and yesterday the Investigation finally closed iv the coirphte
refutation of flussell'a story.
It appeared by the evidence of a number of Officers an.!
seamen belonging to the ship, that the deceased was a con.
firmed drunkard, ami that his death was mused, not by su:-
focation for want of air, but by large draughts of brandy,
which bad inadvertently and unfortunately been left within
his teach.
