MURDEROUS ASSAVLT UPON A WIFE AT WEDNESBITRY.  On Saturday evening, just after eleven o'clock, a murderous assault was committed by a labourer, , named James Cowney, upon his wife, and the injuries inflicted by the husband are of such a serious nature that they may prove fatal' to tho victim of his violence. It seems that Covrney, who is a labourer engaged at Messrs Russell's tube works, lives in a small .)unise in Dudley-street, and lately has complained of his wife giving way to habits of drinking. On Saturday night he came home very much the worse for drink, and was exasperated to notice, even in his own intoxication, that his wife was drunk. A few angry words passed between them, when the husband flew at his wife, knocked her to the ground, and whilst she was on the floor kicked her in a brutal manner about the head and face with the heavy pair of clogs which he WWI then wearing. The screams of the poor woman attracted the attention of neighbours, who, when they got to the dour of the house, could hoar the sounds of the fellow's clogs against his wife's head. 'They- burst open the door, and dragged the man away from his wife, who was bleeding freely from many wounds on her head, and who was very nearly exhausted. The husband was taken into another house, and appeared to be pacified by the pleadings and remonstrances of his neighbours. De only remained a few minutes, leaving after making some trivial excuse. Re-entering his own house, he again more savagely attacked his wife, who was still blooding from his first ill. usage, He again knocked her down, and kicked her more violently about the head, face, and mouth. Several of her teeth were knocked out of her mouth, and on the aide of her head , and on her forehead there were deep gashes, from which the blood streamed. The woman was insensible. The neighbours again rushed in, and, being alarmed at the fury of the man, who still continued to kick the woman, sent for the police, and, fortunately, they arrived soon enough to prevent Cowncy from ' kicking his wife to death. Ile was taken away, and his wife, unconscious and bleeding from many wounds, was conveyed to bed. Dr. Kerr was sent for, and dressed the woman's wounds, which r were of such a shocking character that • they almost completely disfigured her face, and, in the expressive phrase of an eye-witness, her head "was a complete mass of bruised." The poor woman remained insensible until the following , morning, and is now in a very dangerous condition. L On being taken to the atation, Cowney's clothes were L examined, when blood was found upon his trousers, L and one of his clogs were literally dripping with it. On Monday he was brought before the Stipendiary at West Bromwich, but, upon the application of Sergeant Curtis, who has charge of the case, was remanded forts week.  News has reached Constantinople from Scutari that two of the men condemned to death for their share in the Podgoritza outrage were executed on Saturday. Six others who were sentenced to hard labour have been forwarded to Constantinople.  HOLLOWAY'S Pmts.—A certain euta for headache., biliousness, loss of appetite, and town°ss of spirits.
