LosT CHILDREN.

Yesterday Mr. Horsley, of Canonbui ',lane, Islington,
who on Sunday lust two of Lis children, who were tacit
out by a female servant, in a child's chaise, and did not re-
turn home, attended before Mr. HICKS and Mr. !Imam the
Sitting Magistrates, accompanied by a friend, and related
the circumstance., which are •Irt arty hefore the public,
and in addition slated, that they had Cumuli a man, who
bad seen another person take the infant, who• is only *bust
a year and half old, oat of lie chaise, when it was left
near the Asylum, and immediately Walk away with it,
when it neenrred to the ins. as a singular eircumstagee,
and be followed him, and when lu the litirough he went
into a lignite-shill), where lie bad a glass of ; the man
also went into the liqnur-shop, and be also had a glass of
gin ; at which time he had a full view of the man and the
child, and foga his description there in no doubt of the in-
fant being Mr.Honley`s. He left the liqnor-shop, and pro-
ceeded towards Loudon-bridge, where the Mall, who was
watching him, lust sight of hiss. Mr. Horsley was mach
affected during the recital : be stated, that Mrs. Horsley he-
lots in • pregnant state, be was fearful of the consequences.
Pert her cireumstances were very ably related by Mr. It's
friend, who considered that the getting the servant girl away
appeared to them as an nuder-plot. There was no doubt in
the mind of the applicants but that the servant girl either
lent herself or was accessary to the stealing the child, as she
was restricted from taking the children out of Canunbury-
lase or the neightinurbudd ; whereat she had been sees on
Senility crossing the Shepherd and Shepherdess Acids, pull-
ing the chaise along, apparently as fast as she could.—
She had not taken any precaution 'for herself to stay nut, as
she had no other clothes but those she had on. It was
strongly suspected that she laid gone to a house of ill fame iu
Mead's-row, sear the Asylum, kept by a woman of the name
of Patch. Neither her parents, nor any of bee relations or
friends, bad beard'any thing of her. It was suspected that she
had been murdered or bad destroyed herself. They stated
that they had been to the Pulice.offme In Union-Hall tb
give similar information, and they intended to go to the
Secretary of State's Older fur the Home Department to
apply In the Secretary anal Under.S-cretary of State,
The Magistrates informed them that they bad no doubt but
they would receive every possible assistance at the Secretary
of State's Office, under the distressing eirconnstances;. but
as it was nut a matter of State, they would be referred to
that (Mice. The Magistrates appointed two constables to go
and search the house of in Mead's-row, near the
Asylum, and to being the parties who keep the house before
them if beceseary, and the Gentlemen withdrew to scants-
pany the constables, and identify the child in ease of Ana-
log it.

In a atm time after Mr. Horsley and his friend bad with-
drawn from the office they returned, and the latter an-
nounced is a toed voice, and with a considelible degree of
exultation, that the se►►ant was found, and taken from off •
stagecoach in Holborn, and that she bad been brought to
that office, and was then in custody in au outer room. It
turned out, however, that Mr. Horsley and his friend had
been misinformed, as the servant was not in custody. The
two gentlemen then left the office to neakairther Ingoilies
into this mysterious affsir. It is understoodthat a consider-
able suns is depending upon the life of the infant buy *to
another family.
