ASSAULT UPON A WlFE.—Samuel Tina!, a ship's
steward, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with
assaulting his wife.

The complainant said she was coming out of the Ming—
ham Saloon Theatre last night, in company with a female
acquaintance, when her husband accosted her and said she
was laughing at him. She denied having done so, and he
then swore at her 'and attempted to strike her. She raft
away from him, and he pursued her and overtook her dose
to the London Hospital, when ha deliberately took her hat
from her head, struck her and knocked her down, and while
she was down kicked her on the back. Her screaniS
brought a police-constable to her assistance, and her husband
was taken into custody. He had frequently ill-used her
before, and she applied for a warrant against him a fort- ,
night ago, but, not knowing his address, the magistrate
could not grant her request.

Isabella Hoxton, dressmaker, confirmed the statement
of her friend.

The prisoner in defence, said he received considerable
provocation from his wife when he last came home frosty
sea. After a nine months' absence, he found his house
broken up, everything sold or pawned, and his wife leading
a very indifferent life. He asked her for the duplicates of
the goods she had pawned, which she refused to give hint
and she caused him to be turned out of the house he 1321 d
taken for him.

Mrs. Tinan retorted upon her husband that, although
they had not been married two years until the 25th of ne%t
March, he had only kept her for two months of that tiraet
and that he proposed to her before he went to sea to lead LI
gay and profligate life, and support him on the wages of her
iniquitous life. She refused to do this, and he they ill-used
her. Before she was married she was in good employment/
earning fair wages, and did not want her husband's cool'
pany or his wages.
Mr. Woolrych called upon the defendant to enter int°
his own recognisances to keep the peace towards his wife
and all her Majesty's subjects for the next 12 months.

THE MISSING LADY AT LEEDS.—Just before
going to press (says the Leeds Mercury of yesterday), we,
learn that the particulars given by a London daily paper es
the manner in which Mrs. Buxton was discovered are
wholly incorrect. The lady is now in Leeds, with her hue'
band and friends. She states that she was taken on the
22d of January to Barnsbury when in a state of insenei-
bility, arising, she believes, from severe sea sickness ancli
the fatigue of a long journey. How the diamond ring an
the article of baby's clothing got to the place where thei
were found she has no knowledge. At Barnsbury she
remained for many days in a state of unconsciousness from
a severe attack of fever, and on examining her luggage on
her recovery she missed her watch, jewellery, and other
valuables, but had no knowledge when and how they were
abstracted from her boxes. As soon as she recovered,
letter was sent to Leeds to inform her friends where She
was located, but the letter, from misdirection or some other
cause, never reached its destination, and hence the myeteri
in which the case has been involved.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT AN EXHIBITION.—SHIELD
Saturday Night.—On Saturday, Mr. Favell, the coroner
for North Durham, opened an inquest at South Shield*
on the body of George Forsyth, a boy between twelve
and fourteen years of age, who lost his life at an exhibition
given by that Mr. Duvalli, who calls himself the the Eng'
lish Blondin, in the Cricket Ground of that town, on Frida
night. Duvalli had to ascend and descend on what 1
described as the electric telegraph wire, a tight rope about
160 feet in length, extended by means of wooden sheers of
scaffolding poles 35 feet from the ground. He had 6IS°
to let fireworks off, and a great mob of people were gathered,
who shortly after the proceedings commenced became Tertc
unruly. Duvalli first commenced to let fireworks off; an
while doing so some blackguard appears to have cut tbg
Manilla rope, which secured the sheer legs and the NV'
rope to the ground, and the result was that the sheer 140
fell over amongst the mob, killing the boy Forsyth 121)°13
the spot, and seriously, if not fatally injuring another ba
named Richard Dobson. Of course, after this the greatest
confusion arose, and the proceedings were put a stop t°.:
and as the miscreant who cut the rope has not beep disco'
vered, the inquest was adjourned.
