ATROCIOUS CABE OP STABBING.—WiIIiam Banks, a
notorious ruffian and thief, well known to the police, was
brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stabbing a young
woman named Margaret Cullen.
The complainant, who belongs to the class termed un-
fortunate, said she was Hying at No. 2, Palmer's •Folly, and
was in Rateliff-highway, a short distance from her own
house, walking with a young man, a sailor, when the pri-
soner came behind her and stabbed her twice on the shoul-
der. She screamed aloud for help and called out " murder."
She was taken to the station-house, where her wounds were
dressed, and was afterwards sent to the London Hospital.
In answer to questions by Mr. Selfe,
The witness said—l am sure the prisoner is the man. I
have known him a long while. _ _

William Walker, apolice-constable, No, 488 K, said
that he found the prisoner in the Crown public-house
about fifteen or twenty minutes after the woman was
stabbed. The prisoner said he knew nothing of the affair
whatever.

The prisoner—Nor more do I, I never did it.
The woman was recalled. She was sure the prisoner
was the man who stabbed her.
Walker produced a knife which he said a shopkeeper
Barnett pickal up directly after the woman was stabbed,
and close to the spot where the transaction took place. The
prisoner was a thief who had not long been out of g iol,
where he had been confined six months for stealing a
watch.
Mr. Selfe asked the woman Cullen if the sailor, who was
with her when s} e was stabbed, could attend the court, and
how long he intended to remain on shore.
The witness replied that she sailor would appear as a
witness, and that he would be on shore another week.
A. cert ficate from the house-surgeon of the London Hos-
pital was put in, and it stated that the woman, Margaret
Cullen, had received two severe punctured wounds on the
shoulder.

Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner, and directed Walker to
procure the attendance of other witnesses.

The first of the semi-monthly biddings for bills
on India took place yesterday at the Bank of Eng-
land. The amount to be disposed of monthly is
£500,000, of which £300,000 were offered on this
occasion, the 19th inst. being fixed for the receipt
of tenders for the remaining £200,000. The mini-
mum prices were the same as those of last month,
ls. 11p. for bills on Calcutta, and ls. lltd. for
bills on Bombay and Madras. The applications
within the limits amounted to more than £2,300,000.
Tenders on Calcutta above 2s. will receive about 28
per c • ent Tenders on Bombay and Madras will re-
ceive in full at 2s. Oid., at which rate the accounts
appo, tioned to those Presidencies were entirely sub-
scribed for, with the exception of a sum so small
that it could not be rateably divided within the
terms of the notice. At the commencement of last
month, when bills were offered for £380,000, the
tenders within the limits amounted to £1,500,000.
The increase in the present instance indicates an
extraordinary demand for remittances to pay for
cotton, but many of the applicants, expecting to get
only a portion, are believed to have asked for tbree
or four times the total actually wanted.
A mere, ntile firm have received a telegram from
Melbourne, via Suez, mentioning the stoppage of
the Provident. Institute of Victoria and Deposit
Bank, with liabilities for £260,000. The under-
taking was established in 1855 to employ money in
loans on real estate, and the improvement of free-
hold property.
'['he letters from St. Petersburg to-day state that
the weather had become very cold, and that the

navigation was interrupted.
Accounts have been received of the opening ot
the Eastern Bengal Railway from Calcutta to
Rhanaghet, a distance ot 45 miles. The remaining
65 miles of the line were expected to be completed
by the Ist of the present month.
