MARYLEBONE-OFFlCE.—Andrcw White, a young man about 20 years of age, was committed to the New Prison, Clerkenwell, on Monday last, under the charge of feloniously and maliciously stabbing John Mark Byfield, He was brought before Mr. Ravers ox on Wednesday for examination, 'and again on Saturday; the evidence then appeared to be eemplete ; and the following are the names of the most material witnesses, and the leading parts of their testimony. Joseph Sol is in the employ of Mr. Tollitt, a fishmonger and poulterer, in Orchard-street, Portman-square. The witness attends to the poultry-trade, and Byfield was foreman, and the prisoner a journeyman, in the fish businees, and both concerns were carried on in one shop. Mr. Tollitt went out of town on Sunday, the let of June, and left orders with Byfield to send out fish. At one o'clock, a dispute arose between 13yfieId and the prisoner about sending fish to Cumberland-place, and the prisoner said he Was going out. Byfield told bim he should stay and do his work, for it was not his. Sunday to go out, and added, "So help me God, if you attempt to leave, I'll kick you out of the shop." The quarrel continued, and Byfield struck the prisoner: the prisoner took up the witness's poultry knife, and said to Betsy, the servant girl, who came into the shop in consequence of the disturbance, " God strike me dead, if he hits me agaip, I'll stab him to the heart." He then told Byfield, who Was gone to another part of the. shop, he was " no father of a child ;" was " no man ;" and looked "as white as a boiled maggot ;" and threw the knife at him, but it missed him. Byfield went up to him, and they scuffled, and the prisoner took up another from the fish-block, and either chopped at, or drew the knife through Byfield's hand, and cut one of his fingers nearly off. The prisoner hallooed " murder ;" the witness turned round, and saw the knife sticking in By field's side ; Byfield cried " Oh !" and ran across the street to a doctor : the witness followed him. The knife fell from his body in the middle of the road, and a steel was thrown after him, which broke in half when it struck the pavement, and no one was in a situation to throw the steel but the prisoner. Mr. Matthias, surgeon, at 33, Orchard-street, stated, that Bytield came to him with a wound in his right side, bleeding profusely. He checked the bleeding, and did not see immediate danger. He considered that a thick belt, which Byfield wore uuder his waistcoat, saved his life, by obstructing the knife, so that it entered his body only half an inch.  Thomas Perring, a street-keeper, seeing a crowd in Orchard-street, went up, and took the prisoner into enatedy. He asked him how he could do such a rash thing. The nrisoner said he aad the forcraan had bed a few 'wail; ,:•put. Irak, +lv% 44-..5-Ar..l-.a. to took the k ife d *R. of passion.

Mr. RA IV 1.1 1.40 N told him, for God's sake not to titat the case lightly, for it placed his life in jeopardy, and remanded him for a few days, until the fate of Byfield, who is still in danger, and unable to appear against him, ap pears more certain. charlotte Dunn, the woman of colour who claims a legacy under the will ofthe late Colonel Arthur Gore, and who was sent away on Thursday, with a letter of recommendation to the overseers of Lambeth parish, came again to the office on Saturday, declaring she did not want relief of the parish, but relief of mind; and to obtain it, she must have an interview with Admiral Sir John Gore.  Mr. Gatrrirtr gave her a private hearing, and sent an ifficer with her to the Admiral.  Three noted offenders, named Thomas Jagger, James Evans, and Robert Ratan, were brought in custody and placed at the bar, charged by Fagan, an extremely active and rneritorimr, officer, with having house-breaking iin elements in their possession. The prisoners are desperate and well-known characters. Jagger has but lately returned from transportation. They were remanded until Wednesday next.
