Philip Grinney, 36, wheelwright, was charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Hannah Giinney, with intent to murder her. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Ribton was counsel for the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix, who appeared to be still suffering very severely from the effects of the dreadful injuries inflicted upon her by the prisoner, that they had been married for fifteen years, and that three children were the result of the marriage. The prisoner and his family lived in Park-street, Ken nington, and it would seem that for some time before the occurrence took place, which formed the subject of inquiry, he had expressed feelings of jealousy towards his wife, for which, however, there did not ap pear to be the slightest foundation, and that he had repeatedly threatened to destroy her. The pri soner, it appeared, was not only jealous of a young man named Henry Lee, but that he also imputed to his wife an incestuous intercourse with her own brother. At a late hour- on the night of the 24th October, Lee, who is a drover, went to the prisoner's house, accom panied by another young man, and they asked permis sion to be allowed to remain there until the time in the morning when they would have to go to market, and the prisoner allowed them to do so, and they laid down in their clothes in a lower room of the house, and about 4 o'clock in the morning the prisoner got up and let them out. He then returned to his bed, and the prosecu trix was very much alarmed at hearing him mutter to himself, " There is not much chance yet." She after wards heard him say, "It is too soon ; I must wait a little longer." The prosecutrix was so much alarmed at his conduct that she got up at six o'clock and went down stairs, intending to go for some assistance ; and while she was engaged in dressing herself, the prisoner came down stairs and asked if Henry and Thomas (meaning Lee and his companion) were gone. She told him he must be foolish to ask such a question, as he, had let theta out himself ; and the prisoner 'then' sp4d, "We are all alone then, now ?" The prosecutr.W.told him there were as many there as were required, namely, himself, herself, and the three children, and the prisoner then went up stairs again. In a short time he returned, and she observed him take something from his trousers pocket, and then he said he should like to have her brother there by him self. The prosecutrix told him that he knew her brother would not be alone with him, on account of his having threatened his life ; and immediately upon her saying this ho seized her by the hair and commenced a most savage attack upon her with a knife, and cut her throat in three separate places. During this attack the un happy woman seized the blade of the knife and forced it from him and threw it away, and he theu drew a second knife and wounded her with that also. While this murderous proceeding was going on the daughter of the prisoner was down stairs, and was about to call for assistance when the prisoner, using a dreadful oath, made a desperate thrust at her with his knife,. and it appeared that but for her having stumbled at the moment she must have been stabbed between the shoulders. The unhappy woman succeeded in getting the second knife from the prisoner, and he then, according to her evidence, put his fingers into the wound he had inflicted in her throat and attempted to tear it open. After this he dragged her into a back room, where he got posses sion of a third knife, with which he was about to inflict further injury upon his wretched victim, when, in con sequence of the alarm given by the daughter, assistance came, and his wife was rescued from him. The prisoner was taken into custody shortly afterwards, and he then told the policeman that he hoped his wife would die, as then he should be hanged and he should be happy. The prosecutrix most positively denied that there was any foundation for the suspicions entertained by the prisoner, and her brother and Lee were in attendance as wit nesses to confirm her statement. The learned counsel for the prisoner made an appeal to the jury on his behalf. Mr. Justice Talfourd having summed up, the jury almost immediately returned a verdict of guilty of wound ing with intent to murder. The learned Judge, in directing sentence of death to be recorded, said that, although the life of the prisoner was forfeited, and most justly forfeited, to the law, it was not his purpose, so far as his humble power went, that the Capital sentence should be carried out, and he should make a representation to that effect in the proper quarter. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. have, erroneously reported that "Thompson had escaped from his custody," fearing probably the censure of his inspector for not having taken him, or acting, per haps, upon the advice of Mrs. Burroughs. At the sta tion he was desired "to watch the house" all night, but, apparently with9ut any instructions whatever, he procured the assistance of three other constables, and at three o'clock in the morning surrounded Thompson's house, back and front, knocking him up from his bed, and took him into custody. The charge was taken by Inspec tor Hardy, who heard all the circumstances related, and the offer of Thompson to go and fetch the picture (which he (lid, under the escort of three policemen), and yet still retained him in custody ; subsequently transferring him to the George-street station, E division, and thence to Bow-street, where he was examined and discharged. Thompson then preferred a complaint against Earl, Inspector Hardy, and three other officers, for having I illegally detained him, and after hearing the evidence on both sides at great length, Mr. Jardine committed the constable Earl for one month, and fined Inspector Hardy 101., at the same time acquitting the latter of having authorised Thompson's arrest. Earl was sent to prison, and was further dismissed from the force. In spector Hardy appealed against the decision of Mr. Jardine, and was successful, the costs, amounting to eight times the penalty, being eventually allowed out of her Majesty's Treasury. After these proceedings, an action was brought against Thompson, by Mrs. Burroughs, and Thompson became a petitioner in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, where in the presence of Earl, and the whole family of Burroughs, he swore that his real name was " Charles Sears." Earl immediately reported the fact to his solicitor, Mr. Lewis, who applied to Mr. Jardine on his behalf for a summons against Thompson, to answer the charge of perjury, and this was served upon him immediately upon his discharge from Portugal-street. Earl now proceeded to support the charge, by stating what he had heard in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and by denying some of the statements made by Thompson when the case was originally before the Court. He added, that he had lost his situation in the police, be sides having endured the month's imprisonment, and he called Inspector Hardy, the three constables who as sisted in the arrest of Thompson, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Burroughs, as witnesses to confirm his evidence. Mr. Jardine had given every possible attention to the facts disclosed in these proceedings, from time to time, as they had come before him, and he did not see the slighT,- eqt ground for the conclusion that Thompson had committed perjury. The whole case exhibited the most blundering and scandalous mismanagement on the part of the police that he had ever experienced. The sum mons, therefore, was dismissed. Directly Thompson had left the court an extraordinary scene occurred. The Burroughs family rushed upon him with savage ferocity. Miss Burroughs spat in his face, pulled his hair, and struck him in the face, and the police had hardly dragged her from him when her father pounced upon Thompson in much the same style, giving him two blows in the face, and challenging him to fight like a man. In consequence of this disturbance, all the parties returned to the court, and Burroughs and his daughter were charged with the above assaults. Thompson stated that the defendants followed him into the street, abused him in the most filthy language, and assaulted him in the manner described above. No one could imagine the life he had led through these people. The evidence as to the assaults having been confirmed by the police, The defendant Burroughs began conducting himself in a violent and disorderly manner, abusing the com plainant and his witnesses, and declaring his anxiety to have a stand-up fight with Thompson in the body of the court.

WELSH SALMON FISHING.—The salmon fisheries this year throughout the Principality have been extre waters, mely good, the angling, particularly in the preserved being all that could be wished for. There has been a large supply of fresh water in the various carestreams, which has tended much to the run of fish. Great and attention :are now paid to the preservation of the fisheries, and the labour thus bestowe d is amply repaid by the increased number and size of the fish, and during the past season many very heavy fish have been cap• tured. The fenco days are now setting in, w hen it is to be hoped that the waters will again be well preserved, so that the next season may repay the angler. IRISH RAILWAYS.

STATE OF TRADE.—The accounts of the state of trade in the manufacturing towns during the past week show great general steadiness, although throughout Lanca shire there is a continued tendency to diminished acti vity. In the Manchester market the prices of the pre vious week have scarcely been sustained, and in several districts the manufacturers have come to a resolution to work only four days instead of six. According to the notices already given, 40,000 operatives will be affected by this measure, irrespective of the 60,000 who have so long suffered from their miscalculated strike. At Bir mingham the chief topic has been the alteration in the French tariff on iron and coals. Great firmness prevails, and manufacturers are unwilling to come under fresh con tracts at present prices. At the same time, the general trades of the town are kept in an uncertain position by the frequent upward movements in the prices of copper and other materials, and the various firms consequently mani fest an indisposition, in accepting orders, to commit them selves to positive quotations. An appeal made to the Birmingham workpeople for subscriptions in aid of the strike at Preston seems to have met with little success. The Nottingham report shows an improved feeling in the hosiery trade, and great steadiness of prices, while lace manufactures still remain unusually dull. In the woollen districts there has been a very satisfactory busi ness, and the demand for goods is in advance of the supply. From the Irish linen-markets, also, the report is favourable. At the same time, although on the whole the accounts of the industrial state of the entire kingdom are far better than could possibly have been hoped under existing circumstances, the high prices of food and fuel are beginning in many quarters to be strongly felt. THE DUKE'S FIRST VICTORY.--Perhaps it may in terest the future author of the Life of the Duke of Wellington to be informed of his first victory. It was not in India, as commonly su pposed but on Donnyb roo k- roa d near D u bli n th a t his first laurels were won. This appeared from the Freenam's Journal, "Sept. 18, 1789, where we learn that in consequence of a wager between him and Mr. Whaley, of 150 guineas, the Hon. Arthur Wellesley walked from the five mile stone on Donnybrook-road to the corner of the circular road in Leeson-street, in 55 minutes, and that a number of gentleman rode with the wiivalhkeenr, itw hiosserehcoorlsleeesthede kept in a tolerable smart trot. that those were Irish miles, even deducting the distance from Leeson-street to the Castle, whence the original measurements were made, this walk must be computed at nearly six English miles. OMICRON.—Notes CM/ Queries. MINIMIII Mr. Jardine said the male defendant was a stupid, it conducted fellow, and, like the police, had been very badly advised throughout. His behaviour now was of the worst description. Both the defendants must pay a fine of 51. each for the assault, or go to prison for six weeks ; in addition to which they must find two sure ties of 201. each, besides their own recognisances in 401. each, to keep the peace towards Thompson for six months. Burroughs here renewed his threats of personal ven geance against Thompson. After he was locked up, Mr. Jardine had the daughter placed before him again, and told her that as she was no doubt acting under the influence of her father in the matter, he would waive the bail in her case ; but she must pay the fine or go to prison. The defendants either could not or would not pay the penalties, and were consequently sent to prison. STATE OF TRADE. ( From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, Nov. 29.—The American advices state that cotton had lost cent per lb at New York. At New Orleans, the market, which had gained I cent to g cent, in consequence of. improved accounts from Liver pool, became at the date of the latest telegraph rather weaker. The motives for proceeding with extreme cau tion in commercial operations continue to restrict the purchases of merchants within the narrowest limits. For exportation, therefore, exceedingly little has been done to-day. Some kinds of yarns have been taken a little more freely by home consumers, who look upon them as having fallen to as low a price as they are likely to reach ; and such yarns are consequently firmer than they were. But, with these exceptions, the bias of the mar ket is slightly adverse to producers, though the quota tions are scarcely altered. The flatness in goods is not at all relieved. Home houses and shippers alike hold aloof from business of any moment. What buying there is, is therefore extremely partial partial and limited. Prices are well supported—least so, however, in the heavier 40in. shirtings adapted for the China trade. HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 29.—A better feeling and more confidence seems to have prevailed in the market to-day, and a slight improvement in the demand for manufac tured goods has been experienced in consequence. Fancy trowserings of low and middle qualities and heavy broads have been among the principal articles dis posed of. Plush waistcoatings of good qualities meet with ready sale. There has been a fair trade done in the wool warehouses. HALIFAX, Nov. N.—Our piece hall has presented a very dull appearance to-day. Scarcely any merchants attended ; and the sales very few. Yarns go off slowly, at about late rates. The wool market is not active ; but the quotations have still an upward tendency. ROCHDALE, Nov. 28.—The market has again been inactive, and the business transacted has been upon a limited scale. In the wool market firm prices are ob tamed, but the demand is limited. COLLISION AT SEA.—The Margaret, steamer, Captain Hockley, which sailed on Monday from Liverpool for Havre, came into collision the same evening, to the eastward of the Skerries, with the screw steam-ship Danube, Captain Reid, and received some slight damage, which caused her to return to Liverpool. The Danube lost head, cutwater, &o. The Margaret was expected to be able to resail by last night's tide. POSITION OF PERSIA.—The attitude of Persia is still expectant. The Persians say—" It is all well for the Padishah to pretend to side with Russia, but, as a Ma homedan, he dare not fight against Mahomedlans, and if war does break out the Persians will, as a matter of course, be found on the side of the Turks." SERIOUS AFFRAY WITH POACHERS NEAR LEEDS.— On Tuesday six men were brought up at the Leeds Court-house, before the Rev. J. A. Rhodes and other West Riding justices, on the charge of shooting at and seriously injuring the head gamekeeper (Mr. James Phillips) at Templenewsam and his assistants. The prisoners are Thomas Scholefield, William Renton, James Shad, Joseph Shad, William Ellis, and Robert Wilson, all residents at Rothwell and the 'neighbour hood. Early on Sunday morning the watchers em ployed on the Templenewsam estate (the property of IVleynell Ingram, Esq.) fell in with a party of poachers, and information was given to Mr. Phillips, the head gamekeeper, who with six assistants went in pursuit of the party, which was found to be a large one, consisting of twelve or thirteen men, nearly all of whom were armed. A parley took place, but the poachers being nearly double the number of their opponents, refused to be taken into custody ; and in a short time shots were fired on both sides. At least sixteen shots were heard at a distance, and tw o of them took effect ; one wounding Phillips, the In ad game keeper, in the head, and the other one of the • poachers in the leg. With these unequal odds the go ,mekeeper and his party, abandoned all further attempts to secure the party, and eventually they all left the gr, ound, the poachers taking with them their wounded cc .mpanion. Information of the affray was at once sen t to Mr. Green, the superintendent-constable of the dis trict, and in the course of the day he learnt that three me en, one of them lame, were seen walking towards Rothw , ell. This led him into the track of the offenders, and he presently found Thomas Scholefield, the wounded man, and sub sequently caused the other five prisoners to be taken into custody. Mr. Phillips is still very ill, the nigh it is hoped he will recover. He could not, however, appear before the justices yesterday, and therefore the case was remanded.

Mr. Stewart, of Bury-street, St. James's, formerly a military officer, said :—Yesterday, at a quarter before three o'clock, upon coming out of the shop of Messrs. Peart and Dossetor, in the Poultry, where I had been to order something, I met the defendant, whom I had never seen before to my knowledge. Before I got entirely out of the shop he passed in, and to my surprise turned round and kicked me. He then, on my turning round, imme diately struck me in the face with his fist. This was done without the slightest provocation on my part. lam not aware that a word had passed between us. I believe I then asked him what he meant, and he fumbled in his pocket, took out a dagger, and held it over my left breast, using the expression, "I am an outlaw, and am privileged to carry arms," or words to that effect, "and I'll let you know who I am." I called to the shopman, when I fuund such to be the case, to call a policeman, but the shopman would not do so. Mr. Dossetor, who had been serving me, come round the counter, but did not offer to interfere at all. To the best of my belief, I again asked them to send for a policeman, but they would not. There was a crowd outside, and I went to call a policeman myself. At last I got a small boy, who was in the crowd, to go for a policeman. The defendant gave an order in the shop, and Mr. Dossetor served him. The policeman came in and took my charge. Mr. Dossetor then tried to prevail upon me not to press the charge ; but I refused to abstain from doing so. To the best of my recollection the defendant repeated the assertion that he was an outlaw and privileged to carry arms. The po liceman then put him in a cab and conveyed him to the station-house. After the charge was read over to him by the station-serjeant, he said, upon being asked who he was, that he was one of her Majesty's Privy Council, and therefore he was privileged to carry arms. He also stated that he was constantly annoyed by fel lows in brown coats, or words to that effect, and that several of the Privy Council were annoyed by them ; that he made a point of always knocking them down whenever he could, and the Privy Council were some times obliged to kill them. One of the policemen asked him to allow him to look at the dagger, and quickly got hold of it. At first the defendant refused to allow him self to be searched, but he afterwards submitted. The Lord Mayor (to the defendant)—Do you wish to ask the witness any questions ? Defendant,-- 1 do, my lord. What (to the witness) did you purchase ? Witness—Nothing ; but I gave an order. . Delendant:—SomeOf the evidence is not quite correct, but is given with a tone and manner which tell against me. I wish to remark, that I held up the dagger to show the privilege which I claim. I did it to show the authority I have to resent insult. These observations were uttered in a very mild tone. There was other evidence ready, but The Lord Mayor said he would remand the defendant, in order to obtain the testimony of medical practitioners, as to the state of the defendant's mind. His Lordship then said that as Mr. Dossetor was present, that gentle man might wish and should be allowed to account for his conduct in not sending for a policeman under such remarkable circumstances. Mr. Dossetor, jun.—My reason was that Mr. Guitard is a customer of ours, and I was in hopes that nothing would ocean. The Lord Mayor—You saw him brandish a dagger, and that was pretty good authority for the interference of others. Mr. Dossetor, jun.—Certainly I did see him brandish the dagger, but he did it in a mild way. The Lord Mayor—Suppose he had made a sudden thrust at Mr. Stewart with the dagger ? Insanity is often as sudden as a spark of fire in its operation. Mr. Dossetor, jun.—l have known him to be a highly respectable gentleman, and he has been long a customer of ours. The Lord Mayor—But this act of his, which you have witnessed, was the act of a madman. Defendant—May I ask that the executors of my father may not be present on the occasion? The Lord Mayor—You shall go where every possible care shall be taken of you. If you are an accountable agent, you have committed a very serious offence. Defendant—l am not in robust health, my lord. One of the executors, who were present during the investigation, intimated that they were not surprised at the statement of Mr. Stewart. The defendant, who was stated to have a large sum of money at his banker's, was then remanded till Friday. His conduct before the Lord Mayor was most gentleman-like and respectful throughout. BOW-STREET. CHARGE or PERJURY. - James Thompson, grocer, lately carrying on business in Cal thorp-street, Gray's Inn-road, and Hunter-square, appeared before Mr. Jardine, upon a summons charging him with wilful and deliberate perjury. The history of this case is rather remarkable. On the 22d of April last, Thompson was placed in the felon's dock at Bow-street, charged with stealing a picture said to be worth 6001., but really valueless, being a miserable imitation of a small. Correggio. The person who owned the picture and preferred the charge was a Mrs. Combe Burroughs, who had described herself as a relation of Mr. Combe, the magistrate, and stated that the picture was a gift from " one of the Courtenays." It turned out that she had made a bargain with Thompson, that if he could get 6001. for it he was to have 501. for his trouble, and so, one day the two started off together in a cab in quest of a purchaser at the West-end. They waited on all the most eminent picture-dealers—the best judges—without getting a single offer, and after wasting a whole day in this manner, Thompson began to suspect that he had been imposed upon. Consequently he left Mrs. Burroughs, mounted an omnibus in Oxford street, and returned home, retaining possession of the pic ture " for expenses," and as security for a small amount of grocery which he had allowed to accumulate upon the strength of the lady's " distinguished connexions" in Devonshire. Repeated demands were made upon Thompson to deliver back the picture, and finding all other means unavailing, Mrs. Burroughs, with her hus band and sister, proceeded to the police station, and charged accompanied backavingstotloenThitorainpsoOnx,fsohrdo-usstereebty.
