BOW-STREET.

Godfrey Knowlu, •piivitteintiTeC;ldstream Guards, was
charged with cutting and wounding Sergeant Hammerton, of
th=ment, with mtent to murder him, at the Wellington
James Pemberton, a private in the Coldstream., said that
the prisoner, who had been absent for a few days, cahad me into
barracks about one o'clock that morning. He had •
little to drink. He lay down on his bed for two or three
minutes, and then began to throw his boots about. The se:-
grant of the guard, Cherie. Hammerton, desired him to keep
quiet, and threatened to pet him in the guard-room. He de-
fied the sergeant to do se. He then felt about for his kit, and
ft was supposed found his razor. He left the room for •
while, and on coming back threatened to cut Harnmerton's
throat if he attempted to put him in the guard-room. Ham-
mertoe got up and dressed, desiring two of the men to do the
same, in order to remove the prisoner, who still continued the
disturbance. Defendant then made• slash at him with the
razor, which witness now saw for the Bret time. He cut the
sergeant across the breast from right to left, the weapon
passing through his undress coat and deep into the flesh. The
sergeant, apparently unconscious of the wound, grappled with
him, and threw him on the bed, but received several severe
edits, ens under the left breast, and one across the
face. Hammerton came to witness at the further end of the
room, and said," He has cut my throat." Witness got up,
and took a sponge and wiped the blood from the sergeant's
neck, and told him to hold his head down, or he would bleed
to death. He then opened the window' and the sergeant got
out, as the prisoner, who was in the middle of this room,
seemed about to make a second attack. After that he Budd he
was sot sorry for what he had done. Witness •
him, and he said, with an oath, that he would cut fg(Pam-
berton's) throat too. Witness took a minket, and brandish-
ing it over him, ordered him to stand. lie was then disarmed,
and taken to the guard-room. Before stabbing Hammertoe
be said, " I have served seven years, and I will serve twenty
for you Hammerton was conveyed to the hospital in a
cab, and was found to be in so bad a state that it was not
likely he would be able to anted for three weeks.
Prisoner was remanded for a week.

Two Neapolitans—;;;;l7 Yr. Tyrwhitti. tor recom-
mendations to the Foreign-office for preports to enable
them to go to Naples. They were not known either to t►e
magistrate or to the offiekra of the court. They had pre-
viously applied to the Neapolitan Minister, who had refused
to comply with the wishes of the applicants.
Mr. Tyrwbitt said it was a singular reason to apply to him
for the n recommendation to the Foreign-office when
the application been refused by the Neapolitan Minister.
He could only grant passports to British subjects, or
naturalised British subjects, and be should therefore refuse
the application. If any wrong had been done to the appli-
cant. it bad not been through the British authorities, but
had been caused by their own minister.

POSTAL SUBSIDY /V TSB GALWAY LIVE.

Yesterday the directors of the Atlantic Royal
Steam Navigatfiu Company received from Lord Bury the
ratityieg Intelligence that he has concluded the terms of •
oubeirly with Newfoundland and the imperial government
conjointly for that colony. It is understood that this com-
mencement has been made on the most liberal scale, and
there is reason to believe that the future operation' of Lord
Bury with the remaining colonies will be conducted to •
similar issue. It may therefore be considered that the
Atlantic Royal Steam Navigation Company is now in a posi-
tion to compete with all, or any, lines of transatlantic
steamers. Lord Bory Is at present negotiating with the
United States government sad the rest of the North Ameri-
can provinces. Considering the 11111111111 V in which the Gal-
way Company have hitherto fulfilled their promisee, the
immense boon conferred upon Ireland by their agency, and
the fact that through them British North America may
look forward to the development of her colossal resources,
this intelligence will be receiver] throughout the empire
with feelings of gratilloation. Hitherto, it has been a fact
that of eight lines of steamers leaving the United Kingdom
for various parts of the world, not one has despatched a
Ousts vessel from the shores of Ireland. Nor has a aces
Irish emigrant been enabled, previously to the establishment
of the Oat way line, to all even from en English port in a
transatlantic steamer, at a met easily attainable by a poor
mac. The new company has rolled away this reproaelt.

Kansas affairs monopolised attention. In the
midst of intense excitement the House of Repre
sentatives came to a vote on the proposition to
refer the question of the Lecompton Constitadon
to a special committee of fifteen. The result was
114 in favour to 111 against, being a majority of
three against the administration.
Official information had been received, showing
beyond a doubt that a free state legislature and
free state aims had been elected in Kansas. Mass
meetings were being held in the Atlantic cities in
opposition to tie Lecompton Constitution.
Nothing new in regard to Mormon affairs.
Washington despatches say indications were clear

THE UNITED STATES.

The United States mail packet Fulton, Captain
Wotton, arrived yesterday at Cowes, or, her way to
Havre. She left New York on the 6th inst. Us
brought over 88 passenger-76 of which were for
Havre. Amongst her cargo was specie to the value
of 300,000 dollars for England and 394,666 dollars
for France. She passed what was believed to be the
City of Baltimore on the Bth inst., steering west.
The news from the United States is not of any
importance or interest, except the following, which
lacks confirmation :

A rumour come to us from Fayetteville, Arkansas, that
a fearful insurrection bad occurred near that place, said to
have been Incited by two white men. The enter are re-
to have attacked two settlements, killing twenty-
s, burning houses and killing cattle. The insur-
rection was finally subdued by the orgadaation of • force of
volunteers, who seven and captured eighteen of the
insurrectionists. The truth of the rumour was doubted.

General Walker, Colonel Frank Anderson, and
several other filibusters, have been indicted at New

NAPLES, 7113. 16.
I am glad to state that our countryman Watt, the
engineer, is now in the British Hospital in Naples.
Mr. Barber, the acting consul, received an intima-
tion from the government that he would be con-
signed to him, and that, on his responsibility, he
would be permitted to remain for the present in the
hospital. Mr. Barber went down to Salerno
yesterday, and returned in the evening with Watt,
who appears more tranquil and happy in his new
quarters. He was unwilling to come up, and I re-
gard this fact as another indication of the suspicion
which he entertains of every one. Since his arrival
he has been visited by another medical man, thus
leaking seven in all who have seen him, and his
Zicorresponds entirely with that of the others,
re is in a high state of nervous excitability, and
on one subject as quite insane. Let the men of
England note that, and take it as a comment on
Lord Clarendon's speech. Two medical men from
the Lunatic Asylum at Averse will now examine
him with a view to ascertain whether his madness is
reel or feigned, and the trial will be resumed as
soon as a decision has been formed. Thus February
will pass away and nothing done, and the month of
April will be completed, perhaps,before the trial is
over. And Park and Watt are innocent: there was
sot eves evidenetenough to commit them. Alas

were somewhat less active, the demand for export being light,

outward. Wheat was firm end rather more active, with

Western white at I dol. 18e. Corn was lower, and active at
65e. to 66e. for all grades.
Pork eider ; mess at 16 dole. 50c. to 15 dole. 62c. Freights
to Liverpool were more active, and in flour and dead weight
firmer. To London and Glasgow they were quiet and en-
changed. The heaviest engagement to Liverpool consisted
of 10,000 Nils. dour at la. 10d. to 2s.

considers the saimeare sufilciently justified by the
necessity which has arisen since the recent events
in China, of employing the French ships composing
11 what was called the Indo-Chiaa division, in localities
far removed from the Isle of Reunion.

The Bourse has been extremely animated, and,
notwithstanding many heavy sales to realise profits,
a oonsiderable rise in the Rents was maintened to
the close. The Threes, for account, at one time
touched 70fr. 250., being as improvement of I per

The weekly commercial review of the Prom is
but a repetition (almost a verbal one) of that of
last week. There is no change in the situation.
The accumulation of old stocks continues to diminish,
and hopes are entertained of great activity at no
distant time. At present there is a more decided
movement in the great pasts—Havre, Nantes, Bor-
deaux, and Marseilles—than elsewhere. Corn is

falling. The sanguine hopes entertained of a splendid
wine crop are encouraged by the late rains; 1868
bids fair to be one of the best wine years on record.
The quarrel to which I alluded yesterday, as
having occurred at the Cirque, did terminate in a

that the parties should fight with swords, obeet ring
that as neither of them knew how to fence the
chances would be all the more equal. The Duke de

of Aldermen, yesterday, a communication was reoeived from
the Commissioner of Pollee, referring to an account of •
transaction which appeared M one of our contemporaries,
under the head of A Detective's Little Bill." It was
there stated that Mr. Henry Forrester bad been despatched
to New York in pursuit of • Nottingham trader who had
absconded with considerable property, and that having re-
turned with his man and 3601., he had brought in • bill for
622.1. The Commissioner said .—Upon former occasions

in the administration of justice to be found no where slier

Alderman Sidney said the subject bad occupied much of
the attention of the court. There was no doubt among the
oommittee that the system of police regu/ation at potent
existing required great alteration. The letter referred to a
son of one of the Forrester., who had proceeded to a forei6.l
country, and though not • sworn constable, had taken a
L",:into custody under the name and authority of the Lord
';°: and the City. He moved that the matter be referred
