ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE MR. THOMAS, THE BU-
PERINTENDANT OF THE NEW POLICE.
A most diabolical attempt was made to take the life of Mr. Thomas,
the Superintendent of the New Pollee, about twelve o'clock last night.
It is the practice of Mr. Thomas, nightly, to inspect the division, to see
that the men are on their duty. Between eleven and twelve o'clock,
he proceeded along the Strand, and up the Intended new road to
St. Martin's-lane. On his arriving about the middle of the
ruins he was accosted by a fellow in the dress of a waterman,
who looked steadfastly at him, sad immediately struck him on the
head with some heavy weapon, which he bad concealed, by width his
hat was cut and bent over his eyes. A second blow felled him to the
ground, and a third rendered him so far senseless that he was only able
to exe, 0 Oh don't."
The ruigan then inflicted farther injury on his person, and eventually
left his victim under the conviction that he had effected his diabolical
purpose, from what was subsequently discovered. Mr. Thomas, on re-
viving, with difficulty reached the station-house in Covent-Garden, where
he became so weak thatusistance was called in. It was found that his coat,
2 waistcoats, one of them of a very strong texture, and double folded,bis
Simla jacket and girt bed hem cut through, and the flesh perforated
near the apex of the heart. Mr. Thomas rise no idea as to the identity
of the ruffian, and ascribes the preservation of his life to the folds of the
waistcoat, and the hurry in which the ruffian was to escape, conceiving
he had dispatched him.

The nephew of Mr. J. C. Hobbouse, M. P. for Westmin-
ster, has been rusticating in the Isle of Wight, a few weeks
at Freshwater hotel, and was at Rya hotel lest Saturday
night, weary of a long walk, when some officers from New-
port went there and took him, handcuffed him, and
brought
him to Newport, where be, his letters, and journal,l
be has kept for some time past, were examined at the Town
hall, he was then liberated. Mr. H, who was in his walk-
ing-drees,with dirty shoes and ens of them torn, declares he
will proceed against what be calls the over-officious parties.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Mc.. 9.
SCOTCH APPZLL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR delivered' most able judgment in a

land decided that it was not a sale by bulk, and consequently the pro•
perty of the landlord.

The LORD CHANCELLOR affirmed the judgment of the Couri
in Scotland, but without costa.
