It comes out this morning, that at Bow Street Police-office,
on Thurs- day, Count Ostrom ski, a Pole, was held to bail on a charge of threaten- ing to shoot the Emperor of Russia. Yesterday, the Chevalier Benkhausen, the Russian Consul, had an interview with Mr. Jardine on the subject. Some mystery is made of the Police proceedings. Count Ostrowski himself has sent a statement to the Morning Chro. nick, of which this is the kernel- " On Monday last, Count Ostrowski called at his tailor's, Mr. Inkson's in Ryder Street, St. James's ; and, observing a pair of trousers of rather striking appearance lying on the counter, he happened to inquire for whom they were intended. He was informed they had been ordered by the Emperor Nicholas; at which Count Ostrowski expressed some surprise, and added, in a jocular manner, be should like to have the trying of them on. Mr. Inkson, or his shopman, converted this remark into a threat against the life of their imperial
enag_onter."
Yesterday also, John Parftt, a middle-aged Bethnal Green weaver, was committed to safe custody as a supposed lunatic. He had been taking letters to Sir Robert Peel's house, labouring under the delasio% that the Premier had some "noble intentions" towards him, which their mutual enemies frustrated.
