HATTON-GARDEN.

A man named Harris was charged with neglecting
to provide for his wife and family.
Mr. Hill, a gentleman connected with the parochial
affairs of Clerkenwell, said that on the night previously,
he was in the workhouse of that parish when the de-
fendant came with a rat-a-tat-tat at the door, and de-
manded that his wife and four children should be pro-
vided for there, at the same time shoving his unfortu-
nate offspring and their mother with great violence into
the place. After this be endeavoured to quit the spot,
but was prevented by witness seizing his collar, and in-
forming him that he had a great deal to explain before
he would he prmitted to retire alone. Witness then
endeavoured to prevail on him to see to the wants of
his family, hut he could make no impression on him ;
he persisted in leaving them in the workhouse, he called
in policeman and had him removed to the station house.
The wife said that on Friday afternoon her husband
called in a broker and sold every article of furniture.
and then forcibly removed her and her children to the
workhouse.

Mr. GREENWGOD asked the defendant the meaning
of his conduct ?—He said she went too frequently to
the gin-shop.
The wife denied this, and Mr. Hill said that the ac-
cusation was false.

Mr. GREENWOOD-It is quite evident to me that
she is no drunkard. (To Mr. Stevens, one of the over-
seers)—lf I commit him to prison, what will become
of his family ? Mr. Stevens—We will see that she is
well provided for.
Mr. GREENwoon—He's a great ruffian, and entirely
at your mercy. if you request me I will certainly
send him for a month to the House of Correction.

Mr. Stevens—He deserves no mercy at our hands,
for he has none for his poor wife and children. I shall
certainly press for his committal.
Mr. Hill agreed with Mr. Stevens, and the defendant
was sent to the treadmill for the above period.
Mr. Ashley, one of the overseers of Islington, then
brought into the office another of the same stamp,
named Andrews, charged with deserting his wife and

M. Ashley said he knew nothing of the merits of
the case. The woman had applied to him for relief for
herself and two children, and he had given her money
and food.

Mr. GaEENwoon (to defendant)—What have you
to say to the charge ? Defendant—Nothing further
than that I shall not live with them.
Mr. GREENWOOD—What is your reason ? De-
fend:nit—Nothing particular. I choose to do it, and
that is nothing to any one.
Mr. GREENWOOD—Why, you swore to love and to
cherish her. Now, let me induce you to perform that
solemn vow.

Defendant—l'll give them a few shillings a week.
Mr. GREENWOOD—You are a hardened fellow. To
the Wife—What suns per week will satisfy you for the
maintenance of you and your children ? Wife—Eight
shillings I whi manage with, Sir.
Defendant—l'll give her no more than ss. a week.
Mr. GREENWOOD—You are a disgrace to man,
and I sincerely wish I hud the power to send you to
the treadmill for twelve months. If the overseer thinks
that you ought to pay 7s. per week I will confirm the
order, and send you to gaol if you disobey it.
Wife—Oh, do not do that, Sir, I implore you. I will
take 55., or even 45., or evca go without, rather than
he should be sent to prison.
The poor creature here sunk exhausted on the
ground. For the first time it was noticed by the Ma-
gistrate and the other gentlemen in Court that the
child in her arms was totally blind. The effect of this
discovery, coupled with the agonizing sobs of the
poor creature, moved to tears every one present except
the husband, who did not seem to notice it.
Mr. GREENWOOD said that every one present viewed
the conduct of the defendant with disgust and indigna-
tion ; and, in pity to his unfortunate wife, he, by the
advice of the parish, would make an order on him to
pay towards the maintenance of his family 6s. weekly.

OLTCI-1 AND F,..ANDERS MALL'

BRUSSELS, AUG. 13.--In consequence of the further
examination of the persons arrested the evening b fJre
yesterday, about twenty persons have been transferred
from the Atnigoto, the Petits Cannes, escorted I.Y
brigade of gendarmes. These persons belong
to the
working classes, except two or three who appear to be
In better circumstances. This morning at nine o'clock
the number of persons in confinement was 03. Yester-
day and last night have passed off without any d star-
bance. The Rue Ilaute was, however, crowded with
people discussing the deplorable events of the precedin4
day.
Yesterday morning early the officers of justice madeL
a domiciliary visit in the residence of Bats, in which,
it is said, they seized several important papers, particu-
larly the list of the names of all the partisans. Another
visit was made in the house of a shoemaker, who is one
of the persons arrested, and is said to be one of the
most ardent adherents of Rats.
The Politiques (of Liege) says :—" The statement
of a P-ench journal, that Major Kessels was present in
the ridiculous attempt of Louis Bonaparte is n°6l:
pletely false. M. Kessels has not quitted Liege ,
is ill, and even confined to his bed.
F RONTIERS OF POLAND, AUG. the letters
from Eastern Poland agree in announcing the gre3",
movements of troops in those provinces. Not only from
Poland itself, but from Podolia, Volhynia, and Lithn-
ania, regiments are proceeding by forced marches t°
the south, and will be replaced by others from the
Baltic provinces. It is not stated whither these troops
are going, to Bessarabia or to the ports in the 13111%
Sea. Great events must, however, be expected wbe"
the Russian Government makes such extraordinary
exertions. It may be affirmed, without exaggernt.'°,l°,,
that two-thirds of the whole Russian force are already
concentrated on the coasts of the Black Sea, or on their
march thither. The whole army hope that a Rossi/11
corps will shortly sail for the Bosphorus, and eventually
occupy Constantinople.
We learn from St. Petersburgh that the Emperor
has deferred his departure to the army, because we
negotiations with the Western Powers.require his re'
sence at St. Petersburgh.
