It appears from evidence introduced before the magistrates, that thie unnataral and ungrateful daughter has driven the cold man out upon the street to shiver in the cold, thivly clad and poorly fed. She paid him visite at short inter- | vals, and took irom him the pity bought pence which he had collected, und thus supported herself in ease and comparative comfort. A slort time ago the old man got too feeble to pursne his wonted culling, and wae sen: by the authorities to the Alms House, but his daughter soon found means to obtuin his liberation. He wax “ habeas | corpus'd ” out of the poor honse, and again made his ap- pearance in Broadway, a more pitiable looking object than before. Both the old man and his well ted daughter were yesterday committed at. the Tombs; the former to be sent to the wlms house, and the,latter te be dealt with for her impostares.
