A cause will be, tried in the Court of King's
Bench at the ensuing Sittings for Middlesex,
commencing on Monday, the 12th inst., which
will deride the legal right of master tailors to
charge their customers double prices for making
up black clothes for general public mourning
upon the decease of a King or Queen, or any of
the Royal Family.
Yesterday morning, just. as " The Times,,
Brighton coach started from the Elephant and Castle, one of
the springs snapped short in two ; but as the body was suspend-
ed on the patent safety" plan, no accident occurred to any of
the passengers, though the coach was fully loaded inside and
out. Another coach was procured, and after a delay of nearly-
an hour, they proceeded on their journey.
On Monday evening
.11 printer of the name of
Mitchell, whose wife resided in 'the Potter-row,
and from whom he had been some time separated,'
called upon her, and, it is said, deliberately plung-
ed a table knife into her left side, when no person
was present but Mrs. Mitchell's mother and a little
girl. Immediately after perpetrating the horrid
deed he made his escape ; and though the most
extensive and diligent search has been made
after him, no trace of him has yet been discover-
ed. The wound inflicted upon the poor woman
was so severe, that it was found unsafe to remove
her to the Infirmary ; but she has had every prO-
per surgical aid from that establishment. At the
same time, very faint hopes are entertained of her
recovery. Her declaration was taken the same even-
ing by the Sheriff. Mitchell had.long been on had
terms with his wife, whom he used to beat se-
verely whenever he happened to be intoxiciated ;
and a short time since he was bound over by the
Police Court to keep the peace towards her,
under the penalty eat 10/. It is said that the too
successful attempt upon his wife's life was'made
by him in a fit of groundless jealouly, but all the
circumstances lead to the belief that the act was
premeditated.—(Edinburgh Courant, Jan. 1.)
The herrings are at present very plentiful in
the Frith of Forth.

ATTEMPT to MURDER Gen, BARTON.

On Saturday Henry Rep:olds, whose attempt
to assassinate General BARTOnf we have already,
stated, was again brought up to Marlboroug,h-
street, when the Gereral attended. He stated
that On Thursday last the wife of the prisoner
called on him, at his house. Soon after her hus-
band also came, and he was admitted into the
parlour, where his wife was at the time. ' The
General asked him to have a glass of wine, 'im-
mediately on accepting which the prisoner tired
a pistol at him, and finding it did not take effect
he fired another, which slightly wounded the Ge-
neral. The prisoner, on finding that the last
shot had taken effect, seemed rejoiced, and ex-
. kessed a hope that the wound would prove
fatal. Mrs. Reynolds then rung the bell, when
the butler and cook. entered. The watchman
was then called, and the prisoner taken into
:Custody. The first ball, which passed through
the General's coat, was found • near the fender ;
-the other, which grazed his side, was found near
the knee 'of his trowsers. The wound is very
slight, and in no degree dangerous. The pri-
soner threnva, letter on the table, the contents of
which, he said, the General well knew. It was
anonymous, and very vulgarly written,accusing the-
prisonerof misconduct towards his wife.lie accused
the Gezieral of being the author of this letter. The
General declard he knew nothing of the letter,
and most solemnly protested (in refUtatron of the
insinuations of the prisoner) that he never in the
•course of his life had taken the least liberty with
Mrs. Williams. He had merely done every thing
in his power to assist her and her relatives, having
known her•father in the West Indies, where he
served as au officer, and was assassinated. The
cross-examination of the prisoner's attorney did
not in the least affect the dispassionate and can-
did staterrent of the gallant General ; and after
the examination of the servants in corroboration of
his testimony, and of the officers who apprehend-
ed the prisoner and produced the pistols, the of-
fender was fully committed to Newgate to take
his trial. His unfortunate wife was present dur-
ing the examination.
