The stabbing affair.

--Daniel Workman and Cornelius Collins, who were arrested on Friday afternoon upon a charge of stabbing Daniel Sullivan, were arraigned before the Mayor on Saturday. Captain Wilkinson stated that Sullivan pointed out Workman at the station house as the man who stabbed him, but no other evidence was then in court. Sullivan had been carried to the poor-house hospital, and it was stated that his injuries were not dangerous. Workman remarked to the Mayor that he did the stabbing; that Sullivan struck him several times and refused to desist, when he took a small knife from his pocket and cut him. The Mayor discharged Collins from custody and remanded the other for further examination to-day.
