HATTON-GARDEN.

A young man, the Eon of a straw-hat-manufac-
turer, residing in Luton, Bedfordshire, came to this
office yesterday, to ask the advice and ttsistance of
the Magistrates, Messrs. SELLON and LAINO, under
the following circumstances :

The applicant stated, that about a fortnight since
his father missed from his house a pocket-book con-
taining 1041. in country bank-notes and sovereigns.
Suspicion falling upon applicant's brother, who ab-
sented himself immediately after the loss was ascer-
tained, an inquiry was set on foot, by which the
pocket-book and notes were traced from the posses-
sion of applicant's brother, first to a publican resid-
ing in the town of Luton, in whose hands they had
been placed for temporary security; then back again
to applicant's brother; and after that to the posses-
sion of a cad to the coaches, at the Angel Inn, Is-
lington, with whom applicant's brother had lodged.
The latter individual refused to deliver up the money
to applicant, but placed it in the hands of Edwards,
an officer of the establishment. The applicant re-
quested that, under these circumstances, the Magi-
strates would order the money to be given up to him.
The Magistrates said, that it was applicant's
father who should have applied for the motley.
The applicant said, that his father was in a distant
part of the country, and could not attend.
The Magistrates then inquired if applicant's
brother was in custody.

The applicant replied, that he was in Bedford gaol
for threatening his father's life. He pressed the
magistrates to order the money to be given to him,
that was all his father wanted.

The Magistrates said that they would do no such
thing; the prisoner must be prosecuted for the
robbery, and then the money would be given up.
The applicant, on hearing that this was the only
alternative, burst into tears, declaring " it was im-
possible for a father to hang his son," and left the
office weeping bitterly.

The money, amounting t 3 55/. in notes, together
with a watch and a keyed bugle, remain in the
custody of Edwards.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE WEAVERS.---ICS.
terday evening information was received at Worship-
street that a bill, calling a general meeting of the weavers,
had been posted in Bethnal-green, and between five and
six o'clock Mr. BEXETT and Mr. BROUGHTON, the Ma-
gistrates, followed by a strong body of police, proceeded
to the neighbourhood to prevent any meeting taking place.
Mr. BENETT went into Hare-street-fields, where straggling
parties of the unemployed weavers were walking about, and
their numbers were at one time considerable. They soon
dispersed, however, and left the police in quiet possession
of the ground. Mr. BENETT remained there for upwards
of two hours, to prevent any assemblage, and entered the
Crown and Anchor, the meeting-house of the delegates,
but it could sot be ascertained by whom the placard above-
mentioned had been posted. The Secretary, and other
persons of influence amongst the journeymen, expressed
surprise when they saw the Magistrates there, and learned
the purpose of their visit, and declared their ignorance of
any intention to hold a public meeting. The delegates
afterwards assembled, as they had previously announced
their intention of doing, in a room at the Crown and
Anchor, and about 100 persons were in front of the
house, waiting to learn the result of their discus ion,
which related to prices, and other matters connected with
the strike and recent proceedings, but all seemed peaceably
disposed. On the previous evening the men had been
strongly urged by some of their leaders to confine them-
selves to their homes yesterday morning, during the time
that a weaver, convicted of embezzlement, was to have
been flogged in the Bethnal-green-road. The crime for
which the man wets to have been punished was an aggra-
vated one, and the weavers generally spoke of him as a dis-
grace to their body, and seemed to exult in his expected
punishment. On Thursday evening, however, in co se-
quence of his ill-health, certified by a surgeon, as it Ness
said, his puniAnueut was for the present suspended.

TRENCH PAPERS.

tProm the Messager (in Chambres of May 27.)

JASSY, Max travellers who arrive froth
tae theatre of war agree in statittg that very san-
guinary actions have taken tt.lace at Silistria and the
environs of Shumla, whet the Turks have displayed
unparalleled valour, and fought with a desperation
bordering on frenzy. Their enthusiasm, say these
travellers, is excited to the highest degree, and.since
they hive been disciplined in the European manner,
their corps of infantry have, on several occasions,
performed evolutions which would do honour to the
tactics of. atr experienced army, and which proves
that their operations are directed by able chiefs. In
the midst of these innovations, which are attended
♦with so much success, the ancient usages which
may encourage the soldier are not neglected. Der-
vises appear at the head of the troops, and recite
prayers and sing hymns, which the Turkish soldiers
repeat and animate each other, and when their fana-
ticism is thus excited, they rush to the combat like
madmen, uttering dreadful cries.

'The number of Turkish troops ineeAses daily)
alai is at least equal to that of the RussiauF.

The letters from the frontiers of Moldavia of the
10th of May confirm the taking of Baldsick, 7. little
fortress between Varna and Kovarna, by the Turks,
and do not contradict that of Sizeboli by the troops
of Hussein Pacha. Meantime the report of General
Roth is expected, who hastened from Varna for the
defence of the latter place, at the head of 5,000 men
CONETANTINEWLE, MAY 2.—lt is firmly believed
that the Russians project a landing cn the Asiatic
artist of the Black Sea, arid that the taking Of
S:zcholi is preparatory to this vast enterprise, for
which immense preparations are making at Odessa.
In consequence, the Ottoman fleet is sent to the
Black Sea, to prevent this invasion, for the Divan
dreads nothing so much us the appearance of a con-
eiderable hostile force in the vicinity of the forts on
the Asiatic sides of the Bosphorus, which would not
rnly spread alarm in the capital, but would greatly
ttrireile the arrival of supplies for the European pro-
vinces. This presumed plan of the Russians is con-
sidered by persons experienced in military affairs, of
whom there are many in Turkey, as the most inju-
rious thing that could happen to the Ottoman em-
pire, for the enemy, without running any risk, and
without any of the obstacles which he meets with
tin the Danube, would easily attain his object.
The Russian troops which should make a descent in
Asia would not have to fear any ill effects from the
climate, which is very healthy ; or diseases, which are
very rare; and still less want of provisions, because
the country is very fertile, and, at the worst,
their ships would always afford a safe retreat, or
they might join the army of General Paskeswitsch;
but, on the other hand, the Russian divi,ion which
o;ccupies Siteboli cannot be considered as an thing
Lut a rorps of observation, which a vigorous attack
by the Turks would drive into the sea, and which,
7mtn the nature of the ground, which is i►:tersected
'in every direction, cannot assume offensive opera-
tions. At all events, the fate of this (Lvision de-
pends on that of the Russian squadron, which can-
not save it from being taken if the Ottoman fleet
were victorious; or if, in conserinenee of the policy
of some European states, some foreign fleet should
omt to assist the Porte. The French expedition
to the Morea has proved how easy it now is to em-
bark and send by sea considerable bodies of troops,
and therefore it is feared at Constantinople that the
Russians will profit by the fine season, and realize
their project against Asia before the Sultan is able
to ward off the blow."
