THE CASE OF MR. WREK.—A respectable mid.
dle•aged man, whose name did not transpire, waited
on Mr. BRODERIP to request the address of Mrs.
Lucretia Wren, who, after a separation of seventeen
years, discovered her husband, a broker and ap-
praiser, in opulent circumstances, residing in Wap-
ping, and upon whom an order for the payment of
75. a week for her support was made.
The applicant said that it was not until that morn-
ing he had read the account of the investigation in
the newspapers; and, from his own knowledge of
the parties, what was therein stated as to the shame-
ful manner in which Mrs. Wren was treated by her
husband, and who, after squandering her property, left
her in in a destitute state, was true to the very
letter. He resided in Great-gardens, Bristol, at
the time Wren married his wife at Temple Church.
At that period she had a good business and money
and property, but Wren soon ruined her. He was
anxious to obtain the address of Mrs. Wren, who
had been for so many years living in a state of po-
verty, for the purpose of affording her some pecu-
niary aid.

Mr. BRODERIP said he was unable to give the
applicant the required information, which might be
obtained of Mr. Walton, the Vestry Clerk of
Wapping, who brought the case before him. He
inquired of the applicant if there was any truth in
the assertion made by Mr. Wren, that she was
married to a man named Rake when he became ac-
quainted with her ?
The applicant said that there was not the least
truth in the assertion that Mrs. Wren had another
husband living when she married her present one.
She was a woman of unblemished character, and he
knew it was a fact that Mr. Wren caused her son
by a former husband to be pressed and sent to sea.
Mr. BRODERIP was very sorry to hear such a
thing, and directed a constable to accompany the
gentleman to Mr. Walton's offices.

This year the south of Russia, instead of ex-
parting corn, will be obliged to import grain from abroad
forits own subsistence. The Russian Government, in
consequence, has thrown open the ports of the Black Sea,
the Sea of Aooff and of the Danube, for the importation of
corn duty free.

A short time ago, five prisoners confined at
Mont St. Michel, for robbery, were condemned to a short
additional term of imprisonment by the Tribunal of Cor.
recional Police at Avranches, for having broken the
looms at which they were employed in their prison.
['hey lodged an appeal before the Superior Court at
Contances, which a few days since confirmed the sentence.
As soon as the judgment was pronounced, they each took
off their wooden shoes, and hurled them at the judges.
One of them would have struck the head of the President
had he not warded it off with his arm. The Procureur
du Rii immediately moved that they should be sent before
the Court of Assizes to be tried for this new offence, which
he stated had compromised their lives. To this the
prisoners audaciously replied, " So much the better. 'Tis
just what we wanted."

INQUIRIES RESPECTING the CON vita

Yesterday morning, a reporter, waited -Lt
Capper at the Home-office, with a view of ovo,

victs who perished in the disastrous shirr'tper
the Amphitrite, off the coast of Boulogne, tc)gevti4
with the place and time where and when they of
convicted—their respective ages—the set,, , ":trt
their offence—and the periods for tvhich thel
sentenced to transportation.
Mr. Capper replied, that the subject of r vet!
tion was one which the Government had talc°, ibt
fully into consideration, and they had come tvet
conclusion, that under all the circumstance' itooidf

Mr. Capper said there could be no tieeefro"

the unfortunate convicts who quitted the e°ot!i',
in the Amphitrite, had full and frequent oPPrci,o

was the less reason for uncertainty, as the Ani?

thought too much to ask for a detailed list e'.o'
cases, that he might at least be furnished ,10
