A WIFE-SMASHER IN LIMBO. - Cruelty to wives appears to be the besettng aim of a certain class of persons. One of these, James Green, a resident of Union Place, indulged in this proclivity yesterday morning, breaking several of his wife's ribs, and bruising her most unmercifully.

Failing to procure the required bail, he occupies a state-room in the basement of the City Hall building.
