TIIREATENING TO MURDER MR B IRON  POLLOCK. On Monday, at the Justice Room of the Mansion • House, London, Henry Jacobs, a German, forty • years of age, described as a watchmaker, was : brought before Alderman Sir Itobtrt Carden on a • warrant, charged with having, on the 19th inst., threatened to murder -Sr Charles Pollock, one of the Barons of the Court of Exchequer. Mr Bradley, a solicitor 14..1:tateaurt Buildings, Temple, deposed that he bad lately- been concerned in defending an action brought against Mr Justice Mellor by the defendant *limbs. The cause was tried on Tuesday last before Mr Baron Policiek, and resulted in a verdict for the judist, On Thers,lay .1.414 kilS sktendant—had to go befike itir Justice Grove at Judges' Ck.nilierg iV ailAtle some formal matters, rind . see deboatat came up to bin tiluai,serg is a :4 violobt state. In the course of the couversaties the defendant said, "If I had had a pistol in nty hand, I would have blown out Mr 1151.0tt iNdlock's brains. Witness was about lo dew'. the words, when the ilefeadant rushed at Min and smeared his hand over the papers Thoy afterwards went to Judges' Chambers, and nu lea log the ittfendant burst into tears, and latii he was starving. Witness gave him a shilling to get something to cat. Mr W. H. Walkers a clerk to Mr Bradley, c trroborated the statement of his employerosna Mr F. Waraca, another clerk, proved that he had also beard Ihe defendant say, referring to Mr Justice Mellor., that he would have his rcvenge if he swung for irs The defendant, who conducted himself very violently before the court, denied that he ru.ole use of any threats at all, and said that Mr B:sidlity had an animus against him, because he had brought r: n action against his partner. Sir itobert 'Carden said the evidence was must conclasi-ve, and be ordered the defendant to enter into his own recognisKnees in £2OO, and to lind two 'sureties in £to each to keep the peace towards Baron Puillewk, and all her Majesty's subjects for six months. Failing to find the sureties he would have to be kept in prison for the.t time. The defendant said he would appeal.  A "WILD PCUNTRESS:" Pennsylvania has produced a Diana of At own, armed, as snits the advance of the age, with rifle instead of he*. The youlut woman was born in Green C nutty, "of poor and presumably honest parents," but very early developed a passion for herding. "ffer victims were the grey squirrel and: the TaCOOD, and at the age of twelve she finally. abandoned all the advantages of civilisation, and; took up her homein the woods, where she has wive lived for eighteen years, her only ,compartions treing a Title RA a hunting-knife. We are told t that "she sleees in caves sod umiar trees.; she lives upon the ;...,ame which she kills, and she, tudinusly avoits.the -siglit of men. The skins of animals form her dress, and occasionally she induges in the 'luxury of a lolanket."—The New Vork editerto whom we are indebted for a description of her, speaks most fellEngly of all that -she might Neve been but for her foolish choice of 'savage lite. 'He says.:—" She might have wore hooped skirts, high heeled beats, and other delightful and inspiring garments. She might htrce flirted witiotouthful agritaltaralists, and, es the 'wife of an honest farmer, have passel her the as a trousefanld drudge, and fared sumptuously •upon salt cosh and potatoes every day. She might es-en nave plunged into the vortex of Green C,ouaty asLionable life, and haveuttended singing schools, husking bees, and annual 'donation parties. Thus would her life have passodtici a natural and womanly manner, until, at the age of forty or forty-five, she 'would have succumbed 'to the hardships which are the inevitable lot of the farmer's wife, and died, leaving room for a successor in her hash/sad'. kitchen and affection". And this misgnidetlyonng woman has voluntarily turned her back upon all these bier sed possibilities, merely in order to live free and independent in the shade cf her native forests." Perhaps the most distressing of all is the thought that by living as is savage for eighteen years she has rendered herself a fit subject to be " interviewed " by a reporter from the New York Herabi. When this evil befalls her she will bitterly regret the day when the racoon and the grey Nairrel hired her into becoming singular.—.Standa-sL  ----
