Wo extend to Mr. Meroney our sympa SOLICITOR BUTTZ?ATTEMPT TO TAKE HIS LIFE?. A considerable stir was created iu the neighborhood of the Charleston Court hlSiso about half-past one o'clock on I Monday, afternoon hv*t by an affray, in1 which Solicitor. .C W ISuttsS was shot iu two places ?.byr,.Detective Win Ilord, colored. Hord, it seems, had threaten ed Cnpt. Ilcndricks in King Street on the previous Saturday night, and the latter, on Monday morning obtained u wariast for Kord's arrest from Justice Levy, who allowed the accused a few hours in winch to obtain $1,000 bail.

The .pistol was a Cull's army 'live-shooter.' lloid' was immediately arrested upd sent to jail.
