KIDDERMINSTER. the Borough Police Office, yesterday, Thursday, a currier, named Henry Sheward, was brought before the Mayor, J. Batham, and W. B. Best, Esqrs, on the charge of cutting and wounding Augustus King. Prosecutor was foreman to Messrs. Clarke, curriers, of this town, where the prisoner had been employed up to last Saturday week, when he was discharged, owing to the dull state of the trade. He appeared convinced that the dismissal was the act of the foreman, and ever since he has held out threats towards him. On the previous night the prosecutor met Sheward near to Chapel Street. The prisoner asked if he was to be employed again, and being answered in the negative, he repeated his threat. He walked by the side of King till they arrived at a eark part of the street, when he exclaimed, I'll have six months for youand with these words struck King a violent blow upon the back of the head, which made him reel. While reeling. King received a savage blow on the eye, which felled him. The prisoner repeating his threats, kicked and beat the prosecutor brutally till the cries of the latter brought several persons to the spot, when Sheward made off. To-day, his only regret was that he had not given the prosecutor more. The surgeon, Mr. Hillman, was of opinion that the wounds were not such as would have resulted from blows by the fist, but had been inflicted by some hard instrument. Prisoner was then committed for trial at the next Assizes. TAMWORTH. Saturday, before Major Bamford and J. Bramall, Esq., George Goodwin, a police-officer belonging to the Warwickshire Constabulary, was charged by a man of the name of Ellis with striking him with his staff and knocking him down, by which his head was severely cut, and he was rendered insensible.

The company separated, highly delighted with the way in which they had spent the afternoon. KIDDERMINSTER. the Borough Police Office, yesterday, Thursday, a currier, named Henry Sheward, was brought before the Mayor, J. Batham, and W. B. Best, Esqrs, on the charge of cutting and wounding Augustus King. Prosecutor was foreman to Messrs. Clarke, curriers, of this town, where the prisoner had been employed up to last Saturday week, when he was discharged, owing to the dull state of the trade. He appeared convinced that the dismissal was the act of the foreman, and ever since he has held out threats towards him. On the previous night the prosecutor met Sheward near to Chapel Street. The prisoner asked if he was to be employed again, and being answered in the negative, he repeated his threat. He walked by the side of King till they arrived at a cark part of the street, when he exclaimed, I'll have six months for you and with these words struck King a violent blow upon the back of the head, which made him reel. While reeling. King received a savage blow on the eye, which felled him. The prisoner repeating his threats, kicked and beat the prosecutor brutally till the cries of the latter brought several persons to the spot, when Sheward made off. To-day, his only regret was that he had not given the prosecutor more. The surgeon, Mr. Hillman, was of opinion that the wounds were not such as would have resulted from blows by the fist, but had been inflicted by some hard instrument.

Thus the families of many truly Christian men are exposed to the greatest privations. Some friends in England and in St. Petersburg have established a fund, called the Elias-cad or barrel of meal of Eiijah , from which the missionaries have been enabled to render aid to these poor starving families but this fund greatly needs to be replenished. The present appeal is strengthened by the consideration of the extreme economy with which the mission in Greenland is carried on, four stations with 24 male and female missionaries costing only £489 in 1839, including nearly £100 for passage of missionaries.
