peared that Corlett, who is a sailor belonging to the sloop
Lady Gordon, lying in the King's Dock, came ashore after
the tide watch on Friday morning, and took a walk past the
Custom-house and along Paradise-street and Whitechapel.
When he arrived near Crosshall-street, lie was overtaken by
two men. One said, " How far are you going ?" He rer,
plied, " I think I'm far enough this way ; I'll turn back.
They immediately seized him, threw him on his face, and
thrust their hands into his pocket. He called " Murder !
as loudly as he could, and Inspector Walker and officer Slack,
who were in one of the neighbouring streets, ran to his as-
sistance and seized both the villains on the spot. Henry had
the copper in his hand which he bad taken from Corlett s
pocket. One of the prisoners threw half-a-crown in silver,
of which he had robbed the complainant, on the ground

ASSAULT.—Mr. Edward M'Knight, a ware-
house keeper, was brought up before Mr. Rushton, on Sa-
turday last, to answer a complaint preferred against him by
John Might, one of the foremen of Messrs. Samuel and
James Holme. It appeared that Messrs. Holme are re-
building the warehouses in Formby-street, and that they
had tied a rope, called a guide-rope, round some bars of the
window of an opposite waroliouse, of which Mr. Al‘Knight
is the occupant. Mr. M'Knight came on the ground in
furious passion, and ordered the foreman to take off the roPe
immediately, with which he was about to comply, when
M'Knight took out of his pocket a large knife, and com-
menced cutting the rope. Might begged him not to do so,
as lie would untie and remove it, telling him that if he eat
the rope he would bring down the hoisting machinery from
the top of the wall, and would probably kill the men working
beneath it. M'Knight, however, persisted in cutting away
the rope, when Might, alarmed for the safety of the work-
men, told him he was a very bad man to do such a wad
thing, and again entreated him to desist, that he might secure
the " derrick," and liberate the men from danger. Mr'
M'Knight still persisting, Might gave the alarm to the
workmen, and pushed M`Knight on one side, to enable Jahn
to loose the rope, when the latter succeeded in cutting it in
two, but providentially no mischief was done to the work-
men or the machinery. He then took a brick off the
ground, and struck the complainant on the head a most
terrific blow, which laid open his temples, and covered the
poor fellow with blood. He appeared in court with his
head bandaged up, and the assault was clearly proved by.
several witnesses. The defence set up was, that 'Alight had
struck at M'Knight; but this was clearly proved not to have
been. the case, but that the conduct of the defendant bad
been of the'inost Violent nature. Mr. Rushton cotnmented
with great severity on the conduct of the defendant, and told
him that had the case been taken to another court, it would
have been of serious consequence to him. He regretted that
it was not in his power to inflict a heavier punishment for
such an aggravated assault on a man who was in the perfor-
mance of his duty, who was displaying every disposition to
accede to the wishes of the defendant, and who had through'
out exhibited the greatest forbearance. lle ordered Mr:
M'Knight to pay a penalty of £5, and again regretted that
it was not in his power to make the punishment heavier.

THE NEW CHURCH IN CATHERINE-STREET*

(Concluded from our paper of Tuesday last.) '
The interior, as well as the exterior, is finished in polished
white freestone, without plaster, or ornament of stucco cir
other material, the whole of the walls and decorations of the
Church of the Apostles being of the most elaborate and costly
masonry.

The present temporary entrance to the choir and its al•sles

is by a door leading from the south transept. The to‘'_

four cardinal points. The four great piers of the tower, the
mouldings of which will meet the groining of the roof ab° ,
them, are each about 25 feet Tinches in circumference; jett
from their great height, they will have . a light and eleale
appearance. On entering the choir, the visiter observes of
cathedral arrangements, and is struck with the splendour...,
this nearly-finished part of the cliurch, which, however.
there being no gallery—will not accommodate a large congr,Z
