Jacob Hess, a German, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with feloniously cutting and
wounding George Werner, a fellow-countryman, in
a very dreadful manner.
Abel Sims, a police-constable, No. 163 H, said
that both persons lived at o. 18, Buckle-street,
IVhitechapel, where the prisoner kept a lodging-
house. The wounded man was a pianoforte maker.
On Monday night the prisoner and Werner had hold
of each other by the collar, and were struggling vio-
lently. They seemed bent on doing each other mis-
chief. He separated them and sent the prisoner in-
doors. Witness then went on his beat, and commu-
nicated with a brother constable, who was directed to
look after the Germans. Soon after he returned to
the house and found Werner in a frightful condition,
with the blood streaming down his face and clothes
from wounds in his head, where he had received
twenty stabs with a knife, which he took from the
prisoner. It was stained with wet blood. The witness
then put in a certificate from the house-surgeon (Mr.
Harper) of the London Hospital, stating that Werner
was received into that institution with many incised
wounds in his head, and that he was greatly debilitated
from loss of blood.

Mr. YARDLEY remanded the prisoner, in the first
instance, for a week ; but on the intercession of his
wife,who said she could produce exculpatory evidence,
he was ordered to be brought up again this day.

SMUGGLING IN SUSSEX.—Smuggling appears to
be reviving of late, whether through the revenue cruisers
being made off or the mounted guards disbanded, it
would be difficult to hazard a correect opinion. Perhaps,
however, the impetus has been given owing to the in-
creased demand since the cholera has made its appear-
anee. Two attempts to smuggle have recently been
made in Shoreham harbour, and both have been frus-
trated by the tact and vigilance of the Shoreham coast
guard. On Thursday, the 18th inst., the smack John
and Mary, of Colchester, came into the harbour with
oysters. She had on board seventy-three tubs of spirits
Hof brandy, concealed under the oysters, all of which
were seized. The orew were taken before the magis-
trates at S'eyning and remanded until Friday, the 2tith
instant. The vessel seized is well found and copper
fastened. A French boat was discovered on the beach,
near Br teldesham-lane, parish of East Wittering, in
the Littl,thampton district, on the morning of the 20th
instant, by the coast guard. She is supposed to have
landed a ).arge cargo of contraband spirits, with which
the smug filers got clear off. Part of a bottle of French
wine was left in the boat.

MILVTARY FLOGGING.—On Monday morning a pri-
vate belonging to the Royal Sappers and Miners, sta-
tioned at Woolwich, was punished with 50 lashes, in
accordance with the sentence of a court-martial, for
stealing a comrade's watch, and afterwards attempting to
dispose of the ticket. The man was afterwards takfn to
the Royal.Orditance Hospital to have his wounds dressed.
