POLICE INTELLIGENCE.  BOW-STREET.—Giovanni Lombard, a tall and rather good-. looking Italian, was brought in by Sharpe, a patrol, charged with threatening to murder his wife, to whom he had been married about one month. Sharp stated that he was passing through Broad-Court, Long-acre, when he heard loud screams and cries of murder," in a female voice, and at the same time was informed that a man was attempting to murder his wife, He ran into the house, and found the prisoner with a penknife open in his hand, but he and his wife were then separated. The wife, a pretty-looking young Englishwoman, was in attenclance, with Mr. Rigby, a wine-merchant, in Southampton-street, her brother-in-law. She was so much agitated, as to be scarcely able to speak; but Mr. Rigby stated, that she was very respectably connected, and some time ago he procured an engagement for her to go to Ireland, to superintend the fittink up of the interior of a nobleman's residence, as far as the drapery and other ornamental portions of it were concerned. She returned a few days ago, and, to the astonishment of all her friends, was accompanied by the prisoner, in the character of her husband. She had, it seemed, for Med a sudden and violent attachment to him, and they were married about a month ago. His situation was that of a butler. From the second day of. their union, he had pursued towards her a course of treatment of the most brutal kind, and the principal cause of it appeared to be her refusal to supply him with money to enable bun to go to Paris, where he pretended to have urgent business to transact. He endeavoured also to persuade her to make use of a sum of money which she had in trust for another person. On the occasion when the officer interfered, he had got hold of her, and placed his penknife to her throat, swearing that he would murder her if she did rot act as he desired. The prisoner had also come several times to t his (Mr. Rigby's) house, and made use of threatening and abusive language. The prisoner denied the charge altogether, but was ordered to be locked up until he should find good ail. He had been some hours in custody, when, at the intercession of his wife, he Was liberated on his own recognizance oflool. to keep the peace, and an understanding that he would set out for Paris, and not ' again molest her.  The Queen of Sw corm, who we believe has not yet visited Sweden, is about to set out for Stockholm, in order to he present at the.celebration of her son's marriage with ' the Princess of Leuctenberg.—(Brussols, April 21) It is slated in a recent communication from St. Petersburgh, that an Englishman of the name of I% Potts had had an Imperial patent granted him, covenanting an exclusive privilege as to profit for 10 years, for inventing a highly useful Machine adapted to the purpose of washing and drying all aorta of coloured linens and woollens. There is a progressiveness in science that justly endears it to the philanthropic mind; nor is humanity ever better engaged than when essaying to ameliorate the mod:titan of the less fortunate of the sons of men. It is thus we introduce the praise-worthy exertions now making by the Prussian Government at Ilreslaw, to educate and' instruct the blind. Last year twelve individuals of this tiniertunate class were dismissed from the Institute as fully qualifiedto earn their bread by the labour of thuirhands. And (hiring the course of the four previous years, 30 persons, of both sexes, similarly circumstanced, had been returned to their friends, . in like manner competent to gain a livelihood by manual industry. We understand that there is no truth in the report of the apprehension of Wm. liorthwiek, late of the East Lothian ,Hank, in Ireland, an account of which appeare4 in an Irish paper, and was copied into several journals in this country...... .Edinburch Courant.)
