LOST CHILDREN.

BOW-STR2F.T. Yesterday Mr. Horsley, of
clautionhury-lane, Islington, who, on Sunday,
lost two children, who were taken out by a fe-
male servant, in a child's chaise, attended before
Mr. HICKS and Mr. BIRNII3, accompanied by a
friend, and stated that they found a mail, who had
seen a man take the infant, which is only a year
and a half old, oat of the chaise, near the Asy-
lum, and walk away with it. This occurred to the
man as a singular circumstance, %%Thiel' induced
him to follow, and, when in the Borough, he
went into a liquor-shop, where he had a glass Of
gin, and a full view of the man and child, and
there is no doubt of the infant being Mr. Hors-
ley's. He left the liquor-shop, and proceeded to-
wards London Bridge, where the man, who was
watching him lost sight of him. Mr. Horsley
was much affected, and Mrs. Horsley was in a
pregnant state. The getting the servant girl
away was considered as an under-plot to getting the
child ; but there was no doubt that she either lent
herself or was accessary to stealing the child, as
she was restricted from taking the children out of
Cannonbury-lane, where she had been seen cross-
ing the Shepherd and Shepherdess fields, and
pulling the chaise as fast as she could. She had
no other clothes but those she had on. It was
strongly suspected that she went to a house of
ill-fame in Mead's-row, near the Asylum, kept by
arwoman of the name of Patch. Her own friends
had not heard any thing of her. It was at one
time suspected that she had been murdered, or
had destroyed herself ; but no reason was alleged
for thinking so. The informants had been to the
Police-office, Union-Hall, to give similar infor-
mation, and they intended to go to the Secretary of
State's Office. The Magistrates now informed
them, that they had no doubt but that they would
receive every possible attention and assistance at
the Secretary of State's Office.; but, as it was
not a matter of State, they would be referred to
that Office. The Magistrates then appointed two
constables to search the house of ill-fame in
Mead's-row, and bring the parties before them.
In a short time after they had withdrawn, they
returned ; and Mr. Horsley's friend announced,
in a loud voice, that the servant was taken from
off a stage-coach, in Holborn, and brought to that
office. Considerable degree of exultation was
manifested. The Magistrate had determined on
giving a preference to the examination of the ser-
vant ; but, after waiting some time, it turned out
that Mr. Horsley and his friend had been misin-
formed, as it was ascertained that the servant was
not in custody. It is understood that a consider-
able sum is depending on the life of the infant
boy to another family.

UstoN-Hir,r...—..No occurrence of a' domestic
nature ever excited a greater degree of interest
and sympathy in the Public mind, that the recent
loss sustained by Mr. Horsley, of Canonbury-lane,
Islington, in the person of his infant son. Yes-
terday Mr. Horsley, accompanied by a young
man Mimed Carter, employed at Astley's Theatre,
attended. before the Magistrates at this Office, tend
requested that the evidedce of Carter might be
taken on oath, preparatory to the proceeding of
issuing warrants against the persons suspected to
he concerned in the detention of the child.

John Carter, of No. 5, China-walk, Lambeth,
being sworn, deposed, that on Sunday last, about
five in the afternoon, as he was passing near the
Asylum, he observed a man draw a child's chaise,
in which were two children, under the wall. The
man took the boy out, and left the chaise standing
with the other child remaining in it. The circum-
stance attracted his attention, and he followed the
man, who kept the boy in his arms and'proceeded
towards London Bridge. Near the Bridge he
went into a gin-shop and called for a glass of
liquor, still keeping the child in his arms.—
Deponent then followed him into the gin-shop,
and asked him his motive for leaving one child
in the chaise unattended and carrying off the
other. He replied, that the child in the chaise
was safe enough, for that the servant girl was on
the opposite side of the road ; said it was no bu-
.siness of his, and in a blackguard manner re-
marked, that he had no right to interfere in the
matter. The deponent then returned to look after
the other child, and found a crowd of persons as-
sembled about it ; ultimately it was taken to the
Hercules Public-hoase. The man was very stout,
about five feet five inches high, between 30 and
40 years of age, very dark complexion, dark curly
hair, round face, no whiskers, dressed in a short
blue coat, with yellow buttons, yellow breeches,
with a piece of notched leather under the strings
at the knees, half Wellington or uncle boots ; his
appearance altogether was that of a groom.
Mr. Horsley expressed his suspicion of a man
named Stevens being also concerned with the
above named parties in stealing the child, he
having been in the habit of meeting the servant
girl when she was out with the children and walk-
ing with her, and having been seen in her com-
pany the day of her absconding.
The Magistrate signed warrants against Eliza-
beth Holbrook, the servant, Stevens, and the man
described by Mr. Carter, and they we're delivered
to Glenna!), the officer, with instructions to use
his best exertions for the apprehension of the
parties.

SAVAGE CONDUCT.—.Between two and time
o'clock yesterday morning, as one of the Mary-
le-bone watchmen was going his rounds, he dig-
covered, sitting at the step of a door, a poor lir.
tle female child, about five years old, drenched by
the heavy rain which fell incessantly all the night.
She was weeping bitterly, and on being ques-
tioned by the watchman, said that her mother, in
a state of drunkenness, had heat her, and then
turned- her out of doors. The watchman carried
the poor creature in his arms to the watch-house,
where she was dried and put into a warm bed by
Mr. Newitt, who also gave her some breakfast in
the morning. She could only say that her tro-
ther's name was Bartlett, and that she lived at
Paddington, but could not describe what part.
Mr. Newitt took her to the work-house, till the
necessary inquiries were made after her mother.',
