MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY. AN ITALIAN

Yesterday, at the Police Court, before Mr. Mansfield, au.
Italian, named Charles Arred, was brought up by detective
officers Laycock and Patrick on a charge of having com—
mitted a murderous assault on a Russian mate named
Edward Penzelius. It appeared that on Saturday night the
injured man was goin along. Park-lane; in company with.
two females. The prisoner went up to him and asked him
where he was going. The man said he did not want to
have any conversation witli him,_ when the prisoner drew a

dagger and stabbed the Russian in no less th-an seven places.
But for a pocket-book that the injured man had in his left
side pocket, the dagger would have entered his heart. It
cut right through the clothes, book, &c , entering the chest,
and, as well as the other stabs, inflicted a dangerous wound.
The man was taken to a hoase,in Rotham.street, where he
at present lies in a state of great danger so much so, that-
he cannot be removed. The police were informed'Of the
fact, and went in search of the-prisoner, but found he had
sailed in a vessel called the Delhi, for Gibraltar. Layeock
then communicated with the Russian consul, and that
gentleman directed him to 'get a steam-tug and follow the
ship. Having procured the- boat Reliance, the officers
proceeded after the Delhi, and' Overtook her beyond Great
Olrinshead, where they boarded her and'arrested the prisoner,
whom they of course brought back.. These were the facts,
as stated before Mr. Mansfield, and the prisoner was re—
manded in order to see how the injured-man's wounds will
progress. It was subsequently stated that the man can
hardly recover.

The learned Recorder delivered his charge, and, said,:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—"foirhave on this occasion
to deal with a calendar which contains the names of 71'
persons charged with felony, and 23 charged with misde-
meanours ; and it is probable- that a few subsequent
commitments will raise the number to 11)5; Now this
number has accumulated in the course of six weeks, and
large as- it may appear, it is a manifest improvement on the
average of• last year, during which 1,266 persons wero sent
for trial at the sessions, being at the rate of
105 every calendar month. lam informed by the governor
of the gaol that the number of prisoners- in custody last
night was 968, whereas during the whole of last year the-
number in custody never fell lower than 984. Therefore
though there is much to deplore, there is nothing to alarm,
in the present state of the calendar or of the gaol. In a
vast community like this, demands upon those whof like
yourselves, assist in the administration of justice, must
necessarily be made. There is one case of embezzlement,
and some.others, which may occupy a considerable time
investigation, but the character of the offences generally is
light. The stringent course pursued by the magistrates
during the last eighteen months has probably broken, up
many dangerous combinations--housebreakers, plunderers,
and other most mischievous offenders. At present, stealing
from the person is probably the- most promment offence in
the calendar. There are a good many cases of violence—
several against the police. But on looking through the
whole of the depositions, L find no case which will involve
any difficulty, or require any special diroetion to you. in the
discharge of your duty.
