POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 10.

MANSION-HOUSE. CHARGE OF STABBING. --
Francois Bossa, an Italian, was brought before Mr.
Alderman Wire, upon the charge of having stabbed a
man of the name of John Flynn, with a dagger.
W. Hale, City police officer, 625, said—About a
quarter before nine o'clock on Saturday night I was on
duty in Aldgate, and was called to Church-row, where
I heard that a man hal been stabbed. I went into the
coffee-house, and there saw the prisoner sitting down. I
took hold of him, and with assistance conveyed him to
the station-house. A wounded man, of the oame of John
Flynn, was brought into the coffee-house while the
prisoner was there. Having heard that the prisoner
had stabbed Flynn, I asked the wounded man who had
injured him, and he pointed to the prisoner, whom I
took to the station-house.

The wounded man was taken to the London Hospital,
but was not able to attend.

Mr. W. Sayer, of 97, Wentworth-street, Whitechapel,
said—A little before 0 o'clock on Saturday night my
attention was attracted to a crowd in the passage of the
Three Nuns Tavern, in Ahigate, where I saw a man
lying on the ground and another man fighting with him.
The manlwho was standing tip was afterwards wounded.
The prisoner suddenly came out of the house and
struck the man a violent blow in the face with his
fist. That man was then in the act of pursuing the
man with whom he had been fighting, when the pri•
~oner ran up and :-tabbod him on the back with a
dagger. He afterwards placed the dagger in his
breast. I immedia'ely communicated what had taken
place to a police-officer, and the prisoner was afterwards
secured, in a coffee-house in Ckurch-row.
The prisoner was remanded.

WESTMINSTER.—BP,t;TAL ASSAULT.— W. Saiines,
a hawker, was finally examined before Mr. Paynter,
charged with being drunk and brutally assaulting his
wife.

The assault was committed on the 231 ult., since
which time the object of defendant's brutality has been
lying in a very precarious state, Her statement was
that on the night in question her husband came home
intoxicated, and after applying some vile epithets to her
he pat out the light; and commenced a most savage as-
sault upon her. He beat and kicked her about the head
and face, and turned her into the street, where she lay
helpless and insenSible.

kr. Paynter commented upon the brutal treatment
she had evidently received upon the present occasion,
and committed defendant for three months to hard labour
in the House of Correction, and required him at the ex-
piration of that term of imprisonment to find two sure-
ties in 101. each to keep the peace towards his wife fur
the next three months.

WORSHIP.STREET, A POLITICAL VICTIM,
Amongst the recent numerous applicants for procuring
relief from the poor-box was a native of Wallachia,
named Constantine Cantacuzene, a young man of gen•
tlemen•like address and deportment, but evidently in
miserably impoverished circumstances, and a wretched
state of health, whose deplorable condition excited an
unusual degree of commiseration and sympathy.
It appeared from the statement of the applicant, which
was authenticated by documents in his possession, that
about 15 years ago he held the situation of private secretary
to the Russian Prince Demileff, at his palace in Florence,
in whose service he remained until his patron suddenly
broke up his establishment, and repaired to St. Peters
burg for the purpose of placing his vast resources at the
disposal of his imperial master, for the prosecution of
the late war. He (applicant) shortly afterwards returned
to Bucharest, his native country, which was then in the
occupation of the Russians, and finding that his mother,
a ladynf fortune, had died during his absence, he entered
the landwehr of the province, in the ranks of which he
served as a volunteer, until an arbitrary order was issued
for their incorporation with the invading army, in con-
sequence of which be abandoned his military duties, in
common with a numberof his companions, and succeeded
with some difficulty in escaping from the Principality.
Mr. M'Bride, the chief toiler, reported to the magi.
strate that, pursuant to his instructions, he had com-
municated with Dr. Birkett, one of the physicians at the
Victoria Park Pulmonary Hospital, who had carefully
examined the unfortunate exile, and finding that he was
in such a condition as urgently required the best medical
attention he had given directions for his immediate
admission into the hospital.

CLERKENWELL.—ATTEMPTUD MURDER BY SHOOT-
ING.— Samuel Lowy,
aged 34, a respectably dressed
man, described on the charge-sheet as a watchmaker,
residing at No.

Holloway, and of Spencer-street, Clerkenwell, was placed
at the bar on remand, charmed with feloniously wounding
Jordan Thomas Poulson :a labourer, by firing at him
