MOST EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.---Last night between half-past ten and eleven o'clock, the following strange occurrence took place at Charing Cross :—A large crowd had assembled who were discharging fire-works and applaud ng such individuals as had lights exhibited in their windows in honour of the Queen. The house of one person (an army clothier) became a particular object with the mob, who were a considerable time calling upon the owner to light up, but finding their cries disregarded, they commenced an attack upon the wineows, many of which they demolished. Whilst the crowd were thus employed, a man of good appearance rushed amongst them with a dagger, about 14 inches long, in his right hand, with which he began indiscriminately to stab all about him, and wounded several persons very severely. A man received a thrust through the palm of his hand,a boy was stabbed in the cheek, and a great many others had their clothes rent by stabs aimed at their bodies. The panic which the conduct of this violent person struck into the mob, caused them to disperse in all directions, and no one seemed inclined to oppose his murderous career. At length a young man made a rash at him, and grappled with him a while, but was, by the superior strength of his opponent, at length compelled to desist, and look to his personal safety. However, his conduct had the effect of rousing others from their lethargy; and some one shouted " Fall on the villain altogether." The person who held the dagger seemed alarmed for his safety ; and as the relief guard was just then passing, he rushed in amongst them, and said something-which was not audible, but was thought to be an appeal for protection, but the soldiers passed on without regarding him, and at that moment a youth, who was in his shirt-sleeves, tripped up his heels, and immediately threw himself over him, and wrested the murderous weapon from his grasp, and immediately placed it in his bosom, between his waistcoat and shirt. There was such a violent rush at the moment, and such an anxiety manifested to behold the dagger, that the person who had been the cause.of so cinch mischief and disturbance, slipped off undetected.. The person who took the weapon persisted in keeping it, and finally took it home with him : it was a midshipman's dirk, and was in good repair. The attack on the house of the gentleman before alluded to then increased and continued with unabated ardour, till a detachment of the Life Guards and a division of the Westminster mounted Police came up.  . The Law Officers of the Queen, we understand, are preparing to indict Cuchi, one of the witnesses who gave evidence against her Majesty, for perjury. Robert Coiling, Esq.'s late sale of stock, at Bantpton, near Darlington, produced very high prices. A live years old bull sold for 350 guineas ; another, three years old, 130 guineas. Three bull calves fetched 100 guineas; the cows upon an average, 32 guineas each; and eight agricultural horses 563 guineas. The elegant new Wilts county bridge over the Avon. at Downton in that county, is completed, and was openedon Friday last for carriages of all descriptions. A single grain of Talavera wheat, planted by Mr. Gardner, of Weston, near Bath, in his garden, has, this autumn, produced the extraordinary number of 7,445 grains, and the root still continues in a healthy state.
