men, Is IL andinstantly commenced lashng him
with all their might The Marshal then quick
ened his speed, but the mob, which had consi-
ably Increased by the arrival of the number of
coal beavers from Bankside, crowded round him,
when ne was knocked down, and an attempt was
made by the excited populace to drag him
away, 1t is thought, for the purpose of throwing
him into the Thames. His nephew and interpre-
ter, however, managed to keep hold OF him, and
get him upon his legs. He then made another
effort to get away through his attendants. The
mob. however, followed, him up, and lashed, and
peled and hooted him in the most furious style,
He was fogged with the whips struck over the
back with coal beavers "fantail' hats, while an
unremitting shower Of filth was leveled at him.
Several gentlemen who witnessed the attack
attempted to protect the Marshal, who appeared
to be fast sinking from exhaustion and i'll usage,
while his interpreter implored the mob not TO
Kill him. Two young men in the service of
Mr.. Winter, the ironmonger, in Bankside, met
the men, and endeavored 10 restrain them. "He
is murderer" was the reply.-"We won't
have him here the Austrian butcher; we'll teach
him to fog women" Another rush was then
made at him. his hat was thrown high into the
air, amid loud derisve shouts, and his clothes
nearly torn off his back. His moustache and
beard were pulled in the most violent manner,
and one man, who had in bis hand large bla-
ded knife, caught hold of the Marshal beard. and
made strong effort TO cut it off By this time
the party had reached the George Public House,
in Bankside, near Southwark bridge, kept by
Mr.. Ben6eld, and in the confusion the General
succeeded in getting from the moi, and running
into the George. The nephew and Interpreter
remained at the door as long as it was practica-
bic; they. however, were soon compelled to seek
shelter inside, the mob beating them and rush-
ing up stairs. Mr. Benfield at the time was at
tending at the bar, and his wife was up stairs
with her child In an instant tie lower part of
the house was filled by the mob, whose conduct
now became furious, while hundreds collected
in front. Loud were the cfies-"Ont with the
butcher" r!"-"Drag the murderer out!" "Down
with the wretchl'' Several rooms were entered
but the Marshall could not be found, and it was
supposed that he had been concealed. The mob
then became impatient, and would listen to no.
thing else than his production. Several men
scaled the front of the house and got in at the
front room windows. The nephew and interpre-
ter were found on the landing, but the object of
their fury was nowhere to be seen. In few
moments loud yell from the back part of the
premises. Some coal-heaVers had discovered
the Marshall in dust. bin attached to the house.
By the hair of his head they dragged him ott
shouting.-"We have got the Austrian woman
iogger!" This announcement was received
with almost frantic cheers by the mob outside
the house, and the Marshall was about being
dragged along the passage into the streets when
his cries attracted the sympathes Of strangers,
who, with the aid of his nephew and interpreter
succeeded in getting him from the grasp of his
assaiants, and in locking him up in one of the
bedrooms, while others stood sentry at the door.

They replied that if the wretch was not given
up, they would pull the house down. Most

his house, fearing that it would really be
demolished, sent for. policeman, who arrived
just at the moment the threats were being made;
and it being dangerous for him to act alone, he
ran to the police station for further aid. A
