ATTEMPT AT MURDER BY AN ITALIAN.  itemen  as created in this town on  report that an unforunate young woman, a public-house, had been stabbed by an Antonio Pogetto, and that her ) serious a nature that a fatal result was  sof the case are these. For a considerable time, years we believe, the victim of this Italian's dark lose name is Margaret Crabtree, lived in a state of a with him. Having at length separated from him erself as servant of the public-house named above, _ea° sometimes visited her. On Friday morning called at the Tontine about half-past eleven o'clock, ving gone into a room he was waited upon by the  woman, Acisupplied him with a bottle of ginger-beel- and two-pennyworth of rum. He wanted her to sit with him, but she told him she had.some work to attend to, and was on the point of leaving the room when be seized bold of her, viciously scratched her face, and otherwise maltreated her. Having called for assistance she got out of his clutches, and the fellow left the house. By and by he came again, and had some more ginger-beer *.nd rum ; but this time the woman refused to serve him, or to sit with him, although he wanted her to do so. Being disappointed in this respect he departed a second time ; but, after being absent a short time, he returned in-company with a calico-printer from Crawshaw Booth, who gave the name of Charles Holt, and again called for ginger-beer and rum. Margaret Crabtree waited upon him this time, and on again refusing to sit with him he seized hold of her in a demoniacal passion, threw her on the floor, and with an old pair of compasses stabbed her in various parts of the body with the utmost fury. The poor woman screamed " murder," and assistance having been obtained the wretch was secured and given up to the police. On being taken to the station-house he said he was sorry he had not killed the b—h, but he would finish her sometime, if she did not die from what he had already done to her.  Dr. Martland was immediately sent for to the woman, and on examining her found no lees than eight wounds in different parts of her body, one of which was beneath her left breast. and was of a very dangerous nature. We are, however, glad to say that she is recovering, and when she is able to appear the villanous fellow will be re-examined before the magistrates, (he was up on Saturday, and remanded,) and dealt with, we doubt not, as his case deserves. -Blackburn.
