POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

AN IRISH Row.—A costermonger, named John Col-
lins, his wife, mother-in-law, and sister, were placed at
the bar this morning, charged with stabbing a woman
named Johanna Carrs.
From the evidence of the injured woman it appeared
that sbe and a female companion were drinking some
beer in a public-house in Wild-street last evening, when
the man Collins entered and took up the pint pot out of
which the women had been drinking, and threw the con-
tents into the face of the woman Carry, and struck her a
violent blow with the pewter pot. A row ensued, which
ended in the tran being given into custody. A crowd
of Irish women and boys followed the parties to the
station-house, amongst which were the wife of Collins
and the other prisoners. After the charge had been
preferred against Collins it was found necessary, in order
to protect Cares from the threats of the women, for her
to leave the station-house by the side door. Carrs
and her companion had proceeded but a short
distance from the court when she was overtaken by
the wife of Collins and the other women, who
commenced violently to assault her. A crowd soon
Assembled, and the five women commenced fighting.
During the broil some of the bystanders called out that
the woman Collins had a knife, and on Caere getting up
from the pavement it was discovered she had received a
number of cuts al wet the head and face of so serious a
character that it was deemed advisable to take her to
the hospital, and . m the arrival of the police Collins was
conveyed to the s'lstion-house. As she was being taken
there, Cair3 and her daughter atternp'ed to rescue her
from the police. Assistance was procured, and the
three women were- eventually locked up.
A witness depot ed to seeing a knife in the hand of the
woman Collins.

Oa the prisoners being called upon for their defence,
Carry said that (leers commenced the assault first by
striking her with a, hammer. The woman Collins denied
that she used a k Rife, and the other prisoners said they
had been drinking.
Mr. Henry fins Kit Collins, his wife, and mother, five
pounds each, or six weeks' imprisonment, and the
younger girl he fined twenty shillings, or fourteen days'
imprisonraeat.

Sporting Intelligence.

T &TTERSSLL'S--YESTREDAY.

The national ball of sport is once more sat going in
earnest, and the most gratifying proofs are afforded that
it acquires strength in going. Doncaster, with its
spring attractions, is again about to have a turn, and
Thirsk will follow closely. Professionally turfites are
continually in a state of transition—flitting from meet-
ing to meeting all over the country.
lii the course of the afternoon the room was nume-
rously attended, but " paying and receiving" chiefly oc-
cupied the attention. Shortly after four o'clock many
of the members left for Doncaster.

Th• betting, although limited, was marked by two or
three movements of importance.
Cannobie was backed for the Metropolitan at 4 and 5
to 1, and at 1000 to 25 and 1000 to 30 for the Derby; at
first 7 to x was taken to nearly 1001. about Van Galen,
but at the close 10 to 1 was laid. The current price did
net, however, exceed 100 to 12. Pyrrha was backed
with some spirit at 20 to 1.

For the Two Thousand 2 to 1 was taken about Fly-
by-Night, who was so closely pressed by Yellow Jack
that 100 CUD was betted on Jack against him. A few
investments were made on Bird-in-Hand at 7 and 8 to 1.

The principal bets on The Derby were 500 even on
Fly-by-Night against Wentworti, and the same against
Elliagten.
Further comment is unnecessary.
