Stabbing.

--A difficulty occurred in the western part of the city on Wednesday night, in the progress of which, it is alleged, Augustus Miller was stabbed by an individual named Auguste Zau. Miller had been in Mrs. Green's house, with two or three others, to get a drink, and on coming out they met Zau, who charged Miller's father with having insulted him. This was denied; but directly afterwards, while the younger Miller was ‘"throwing up"’ the fluid he had just imbibed, Zau approached him, and after making some derisive remark, drew a knofe and stabbed him in the right side of the throat, inflicting a serious, though not fatal wound. Zau was at once arrested by Miller's companions, and delivered over to the officers. The circumstances were investigated by the Mayor yesterday, and the prisoner was remanded to be examined next week, before the Hustings Court, on a charge of felonious stabbing.
