REVOLTING OccunnENcE.The neighbourhood of
Farringdon-street and its vicinity has been for the last two
days thrown into a state of considerable excitement from a
rumour which gained credence in every quarter, that a
young woman of the name of Taylor had sold her illegitimate
child, a little boy of the tender age of three years, under
circumstances as singular and romantic as they evince a
total want of feeling. It appears that in the course of
Thursday last a lady, bearing ell the outward indications Of
the highest respectability, drove into Farringdon-street in
her carriage, which was pulled up at the end of Harp-alley.
There she made score inquiries with respect to a child, of
which she express: l a desire to become possessed. The
lady introduced herself to a fume° relative of the young
woman Taylor; and on finding that Taylor had a male
child of the ege stand, she desired to see it, and for that
purpose returned to, and waited in her carriage while the
female first addressed proceeded to the mother of Taylor, who
With her husband, is in charge of an unoccupied house, No.
90, Farringdon-street. The in ,ther instantly set out to fetch
her dangLer and the chihl from their domicile in Chanties-
street, at the West-end, and on their return together the
child, a smart, intelligent, and prepossessing little fellow, was
exhibited to the lady, who at once made overtures for his
purchase. The unnatural mother of the child, and her equally
unnatural parent, consented to the sale, and received the
earnest of half a sovereign. The carriage drove off with the
lady and her newly-acquired purchase, but returned in a brief
srce of time, and showed the unconscious boy denuded of
the dirty rac.s with which his limbs bad been encased, but
now superLly clad in new clothes, an hat and feathers of the
most tests ful and expensive kind. They again drove off, the
lady promising to renew her visit on Monday next, and then
to pay any sum, from 91. to 51., they might regain. The
grandfather of the child was only made acquainted with the
occurrence: late on 7rithly night, and the poor old man, who
exhibits more of than either his wife or his
!laughter, is lou!r it, his tlebunciations of their conduct., and
detertnint,tio, U, trace the matter to the hnttem. At
