MOST OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT.

Christopher Felton was charged, on two indictments.
for violently astaulting a number of w atchmen belong:
ing to the Ward of Cripplegate Without, on the lots
of October, while in the execution of their duly.
John Foy and his wife were also charged in the same
indictments, but not appearing, they were called upon
their recognizance.
It appeared from the testimony of the several watch-
men, that the disturbance commenced in Sun•court,
Grub•street, where the prisoner was in company with
a man and woman; the watchman on the beat (11i11,)
'told them to disperse, which, however, they refused,
and attacked him violently; he sprang his rattle, when
other watchmen came to his assistance, but no s9oner
had they arrived than several men ran dossn the
court armed with sticks, and a desperate conflict
ensued, in which the prisoner took a most consiicuous
part. Two of the watchmen were so desperately cut
about the bead and face as to be unable to follow their`
employ for several days, and the effects of the bruises
they still experienced.

A Gentleman came forward who happened to pass
by at the time, and he distinctly proved the riotous
conduct of the refractory party, and the cruel treatment
which the watchmen received from the blows of sticks;
indeed, he expected that some one would have lost his
life in the dreadful conflict, which was of the most
alarming description.
The prisoner denied striking the watchmen.
The Itecoatien summed up the evidenCe, and tae
Jury found him Guilty on both indictments.
The COURT severally sentenced him to six months con-
finement for each offence, in the Nouse of Correction,
and there kept to hard labour.

STOPPAGE OF THE RAMC OF MESSRS.
CHAMBERS AND SON, OLD BOND-STREET.

At two o'clock yesterday the unpleasant event was
made known to the public, by the clerks, that the house
would be compelled to suspend their payments for the
present, from temporary and wholly unexpected causes.
At this time the number of applicants did not exceed
ten or twelve persons, but the ill news soon spread
with that rapidity which generally attends calamity,
and the doors were soon surrounded by a group of
claimants, forming quite a mob in front of the house.
Indeed the whole neighbourhood appeared to be plunged
into the greatest state of consternation and dismay.
—The house was established about 36 years since,
under the firm of Birch, Chambers, and Hobb, the
first of whom has been dead some time, and the List has
also withdrawn. Latterly the firm has been carried on
in the name of Chambers and Son. Various rumours
areof course freely circulated. By some, the Opera
speculation, and sudden alarm of many of the oldest
customers, which the recent bankruptcy of Messrs.
Marsh and Co. has cleated, are said t have produced
a most determined run upon the house, for which im-
mediate means could not be obtained. Another report
is, that the house are sufferers by the Berners-Areet
Bank, to the amount of 70,0001. but this would at first
sight appear very improbable, as, from the situation,
we should expect they would have been opposed to
each other. Whatever be the true cause, the calamity
will be dreadful, falling, as it must do, principally
upon tradesmen, resident in the neighbourhood.
—We have already heard some names mentioned in the
literary and theatrical world, whose losses will, we fear,
be great, at leastfrom temporary suspension of payment.
Mr. Chambers, it will be remembered, is the sole pro-
prietor of the Opera House, having recently purchased
the concern out of Chancery. The embarrassments
attendant upon the litigating and obtaining possession
of this property, together with the losses sustained by
the former proprietors, to whom Mr. Chambers stood
in the relation of banker and mortgagee, have, no
doubt, accelerated this event; but another, and we be-
lieve, a substantial reason, is the immense sums advanced
in a new speculation, theimproved patent road material
to eclipse the plan of Mr. M'Adam, and which has not,
as yet, produced any return.—Aforning Paper.
