LAIIPETU•STREET. —Yesterday Mr. Thomas Gosling and Mr. John Lenents, both respectable looking men, were brought before Messrs. Wyatt and Hardwick, charged with having assaulted each other. From the statement of Mr. Norman, an inspector of H. division, it appeased that, at one o'clock on that morning, be had been sent • for to go to the Horns and Horseshoe public-house, in Cable-street, I Wellclose.square, and on getting there he found the defendants engaged in a personal conflict. Having succeeded in separating t them, Miss Scott, the proprietress of the house, gave Mr. Gosling in charge, for having struck her friend Mr. Lenarts, and Mr. G. also made a similar complaint against Mr. L. He conveyed them both to the edition-house, but finding that they were respectable, he dedined locking them .up, but took their words to appear at the office to settle the matter. Mr. Norman added that, from what he could learn of the business, the quarrel arose from Mr. batten's fancying that Mr. Gosling was paying Miss Scott more attention than he (Mr. L.) could wish. Mr. Gosling, in reply, said that he had been invited to sup at the house of Miss Scott, and exhibited a deep wound in his head, which he had received by a blow of a quart pot, given to him by Mr.  Lenarts. Mr. Lenarts asserted that Mr. Gosling struck him first with his umbrella. The Magistrates disposed of the case by ordering both parties to find bail to keep the peace towards each other. Two dashingly-dressed females, named Johnston and Williams, were charged with assaulting the person of Mrs. Smith, and tearing bet Leghorn bonnet to pieces. Mrs. Smith stated, that on Monday evening she met the defend. ants at a public-house in the neighbourhood of the Commercial. road, when they attacked her, beat her severely, blackened her eye, and tore her bonnet to pieces. The complainant here exhibited the fragments of a Leghorn bonnet. Miss Johnston, in defence, said that she was security for 31. to a tally-man for the complainant, and on meeting her and speaking to her on the subject, she became most abusive, and struck her and her companion. Miss Williams exhibited the remains of what was once a fashion. able velvet tippet, with black fringe, and a white silk bonnet Lute. fully trimmed, which were torn to ribbons by the complainant. A witness was called; who said the whole &nit began about a glass of' gin and water. hen," said the Magistrate, " I suppose it will end over another so far as the damage goes, 1.-think the account is tolerably well balanced. The warrant is therefore discharged. Alxittr-Lx.-sossts.—Tuesday, x powerful athletic fellow of the name of Morrie, a navigator, was brought before Mr. Houma, charged with having violently asisulted a police constable of the name of Cooke,.No.• 160, Division I), and thereby endangered his life. Upon the prisoner being placed at the bar, the Inspector stated that, in consequence of the severe injuries which the prisoner had  inflicted upon Cooke, the unfortunate man was unable to be re. moved. The contusions which he had sustained about the head rendered it extremely doubtful whether he would recover from the brutal ill-usage which the prisoner bad inflicted upon Cooke, whom it was necessary to carry into the watchhouse, and he was then hardly capable of giving charge of the prisoner. A medical gentleman of the name of Cunningham, residing in Hereford. street, was called in to attend on Cooke, and he had given no hopes  of recovery. Mr. Hossixs.— Have you any certificate from Mr. Cunningham ? The Inspector replied in the sflirmative, and produced the docu. ment, which stated that the contusions about the head of Cooke were of a moat dangerous nature. William Allick, sergeant of the D division, deposed that a person , came to where he was on duty, and informed him that one of the constables was being murdered in Little James-street, Lisson.grove. He instantly proceeded to the spot, and there found a man on the pavement, but so dreadfully disfigured and covered with blood, as Ito prevent hint recognising his person, and who was being kicked and otherwise ill-treated by the prisoner: he instantly secured him, and upon making inquiry he was informed that the prisoner had been creating a disturbance. Upon Cooke coming up, and request. ing him to go home, the prisoner knocked him down and they began to ill-use him. Mr. Nostrils ohserved that as heshould remand the prisoner until it was ascertained whether Cooke was likely to recover or not, perhaps it would be as well for him to keep his defence for a future Period. The prisoner declined saying anything; on which he was remanded.
