DREADFUL CASE OF STABBING.—Mary Ann Singer, a dieipated looking woman was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with cutting and wounding Suati Middleton, of No. 2, Hungertord-street, Commercialroad East.  Police constable Walker, No 56 K, stated that last night he received information that a woman bad been murdered in Hungerford-street and he went to the house, No. 2, and found the landlady of the house lying on the floor weltering in her Mood, which was flawing copiously from several wounds. He conveyed her to the hospital and the medical officers there had much trouble in staunching the wounds. TSII3 woman was cut under the tongue, across the nose, and there was a deep gash on one of his arms. He was informed that the prisoner bad inflicted the wounds, and took her into custody. She was intoxicated, and said she would go to Newgate for Mrs. Middleton, and hoped she had done for her. John Nathan, a little boy, dwelling at No. 5, Hungerford-street, saw the prisoner and Mrs. Middleton quarrelling last night. They called each other names. The prisoner obtained a knife and attacked Mrs. Middleton and cut her in a shocking manner, and swore at her.  Mr. Yardley—ls the woman who ig wounded Mole to appear ? Walker—No, sir, the wounds are considered to be dangerous. She was in a very low state. Mr. Yardley remandod the f.r a week.  MARKET NEWBo—(•rzus Day.)  CORN EXutiaNGE.  Fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate, consequently the show of samples was limited. There was, however, no disposition shown on the part of the millers to operate beyond actual wants ; hence the demand ruled very inactive, at Monday's currency. The imports of foreign wheat are 5,610 quarters, and the supply on offer was extensive. All descriptions met a dull inquiry, but no quotable change took place iu prices. Scarcely any English barley was on show, and the supply of foreign was only moderate. The trade, however, was in a sluggish state, at Monday's prices. but inferior parcels supported former terms, werew.F ineve wereedell.rmyalt heavily supplied with foreign oats, which moved off slowly, at the late decline. Beans, peas, and flour met a slow trade, on former terms.  Everything went prosperously wirh him from the first. When he was a boy, be wrote in bib Curnm(,n-p'ace B )ok, among other passages, the sug,zestiveness of winch will be byi to. Appreciated by those who turn hack to them after they have followed Metcalf„', car to the ei,d and made dote acqu.nritanve with his character— 'He is the moot clever who is best alle to profit Ly go. d fortune when it comes to him.' It was his gr, og( fortune to I,is the son of an East liidia Director, to bs patronized in early life by Lord Wellesley ; and a; ,ray 3 to have an influential friend at Court. By this good fortune he was well able to profit.' One Governor-Gene ral after another recognised his abiliths, and ever in the most critical conjuncture sought his assistance and advice. All, with one exception, continued to r,,gard him, long after their official connection had been sevend, with the strongest feelings of aJrdration said affection. To the success of every administration under which he served he largely contributed. It is not always that the impression of men's minds is stamped most indelibly on he circumstances of the times when they occupy the bightst stations. It often happens, on the other hand, that their most enduring aiitions are these to which another's name is given in the history of the world. Thera are many names which more frequently occur to the annalist of our Indian empire during the first 33 years of the present century ; but there is no one man who had really a larger share in shaping the events which are the staple of his, or who did more in his ge,,enerati _in to make our Anglo-Indian Empire what it is, than Charles Theophilus Metcalfe."
