HATTON-GARDEN.

A respectable-looking man, named Bullock, was charged
with attemi,ting to hang himself. The defendant is a brush-
maker in Brunswick-street, St. John's-road, living with an
only daughter, an interesting girl of eivhteen, who since her
mother's death has contributed to her father's support with
frugality and affection. She had lately became attached to a
young man in every way worthy of heraffection, and had asked
her father's consent to their marriage. He, however, instead
of giving his consent; drove them from his presence, and during
that night was found by his daughter suspended by his neck
his bedroom. The defendant said he was determined urn
self-destruction, since his daughter was about to desert him.
The daughter upon this cried out—" 0, father, I will not
desert you, but will do anything to relieve your mind." She
then tried to persuade her father that his objections to the young
man were without foundation.

The Mactsmare said it wvs evident the defendant was not
in a tit state of mind to be at large, and he was delivered over
to the care of Mr. Hill, the ralieviug overseer of Clerkenwel,
who immediately assented to the wishes of Mr. Greenwood by
taking charge of the unfortunate defendant.

LAMBETH-STREET.
A WOMAN CHARGEP WITH MURDERING HER HUSBAND.
M.try Hyland, a wretched-looking woman, aged 62, was
charged with causing the death of Peter Hyland, her husband.
It appeared that the prisoner and her husband were much ad-
dicted to .!rink. Ab.,u' ,ix o'clock on tl.e previous evening,
while both were intoxicated, a quarrel took place he!ween
them. The prisoner made a rush at her husband and f'rced
him off the steps of the door Upon which he stood, awl the
consequence was that he fell across a sort of landing, and his
head coming ou some steps which led to another apartment his
neck was broken and he instantly expired. When told that he
was dead, the prisoner, who was not sober at the time, said—
" Thank God for it."

The prisoner did not deny the charge. but said that her hus-
band had been in the habit of ill-u4ng her, and had pinched
her very much to get some n ore money from her to drink be-
fore she pushed him. She viaq remanded till the result of the
Coroner's inquest should be known.

METROPOLITAN IMPROVE-
MENTS.

Some surprise, we understand, has been expressed, and
it may be very naturally so, at the apparently slow pro-
gress of the projected metropolitan improvements, Parlia-
ment, it is alleged, having given the necessary powers as
to some of these by an Act of last session. The improve-
ments then sanctioned, we have on former occasions ap-
prised our readers, contemplated the opening of very en-
larged and direct thoroughfares between Oxford-street
and Holborn, the Strand (opposite toWaterloo-bridge) and
Bloomsbury, and Spitalfields through Whitechapel to the
India Docks. To these others have been added by an Act
of the present session, comprising the long desired open-
ing from Piccadilly into Long-acre, through Leicester
square ; an opening from Tarringdon-street to Clerken-
well ; another from Southwark to Westminster-bridge ;
and a fourth from Westminster Abbey, westward, in the
direction of Grosvenor-place.
The first four of these improvements comprise the
whole of which the execution depends immediately upon
the Government, but the fund out of which they are to
be effected is the same in every case, viz., the sum to be
raised upon the credit of the coal duties, which, to those
who are at all conversant with the subject, it is known
are already pledged for nearly fifteen years to come.
By a recent act, Parliament has granted an extension of
these duties for four years, and the unpledged reversion
is considered (and has been reported by a select commit-
tee of the House of Commons) to be sufficient security
for the amount required.
The difficulty, however, of raising money upon an oc-
casion so contingent and remote, and the disadvantages
obviodsly incident to borrowing in the market under such
circumstances, have pointed out as the most eligible the
other alternative presented by Parliament, and arrange-
ments have accordingly been made with the Commis-
sioners for the issue of Exchequer Bills, by which the
requisite funds will be supplied from time to time—that
is, to the extent for which the security given by law will
be available.

It is possible that, in negotiating with th 9 owners of
property to so large an extent, the demand may at times
anticipate the supply. It would undoubtedly be better
could it be otherwise, and with management it may
yet be so. But this it is, we learn, which, in jus-
tice especially to the claimants, has rendered it
necessary hitherto to proceed with caution, and
to confine the proceedings up to the present
period to communications with the numerous parties for
obtainingthe
particulars of their respective claims, and
proposing to them an equitable and inexpensive mode of
settlement, viz. a reference to arbitration. By the ar-
rangements now entered into, funds, we are informed,
will be available at Midsummer next, when the publi,
may hope to see the four principal lines, at least, in pro-
gress.—Sunday paper.
