THE RECOVERED CHILD.

We feel indescribable nlessure in announcing
that ibis child, in, w fuse fate the public have felt
so much interest, is nom enjoying the endear•
merits of his mother. Mr. lloasLeY arrived inn
Sunday night about 9 o'clock, from his fatiguing,
pursuit, accompanied by the little boy, who, we
are glad to hear, is rat, ruddy, and in perfect
-krvirb--,liappOintt cheerful.
Mr. Horsley, lett Cuxhaven on Sunday, the
2.9111 ult. in the Earl pf Leicester packet, Captain •
Hammond, which did not reach Ore English
toast till Saturday evening, when Mr. Horsley
end his child, and Captain Hammond, landed at
Cromer, in Norfolk, about 23 miles from Nur-
wich, and 129 from London. Captain Hammond
took horse and posted forward ; but Mr. Horsley,
on account of the child, was obliged to bite a
cart, in which he was five hours travelling to
Norwich. Captain Hammond had thus got so far
before Mr. Horsley; that he reached town oil
Sunday as early as tom o'clock, anti instantly On
his arrival at the Post-Office, Mr. Fretling, with
the saute considerate regard which he hiis ail
along shown to the anxious feeling; of a bereav-
ed mother, dispatched a messenger to Mrs. Hors-
ley with the joyful tidings of her husband and
son's being again on English ground.

The villain Renneit is said tohave'confessed that
his design in taking the child to America, was, by
writing thence to its parents, informing them of
his having it in his possession, to extort from
them, if possible, a large slim of money for its
rannim.

The necessary proceedings for transmitting the
unfeeling thiet to England were not terminated
when Mr. Horsley set off from Bremen on his re-
turn home. Certain forms Of law, and even a
regular communication from our Government,
were requisite; but these were 'in regular train,
and it will not be many days before the unfeeling
robber will be handed over to justice, and tried
by the laws of his country.

LETTER. FROM MR. HORSLEY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—lt is with much diffidence that L obtrude.myself on
your notice, but I should ill, discharge the duty I owe to the
Public, as well as to my own feelings, if I did not attempt to
express my acknowledgments for the extraordinary degree of
sympathy which has been so strongly manifested on account
of the Child lately lost to its Parents, and now most provi-
dentially restored. The deep sensation which this uncom-
mon occurrence has excited, will admit of no reqnital--;till
less by any language I can use. But the Public, who have so
generously sympathized in the affliction of its Parents, will
also appreciate their very grateful feelings. and do them tho
justice to believe, that although I cannot adequately express
them, they are, nevertheleis, .most ardent and respectful,
Mid, they trust, not unworthy their situation on such art
occasion. • I am, Sir,

Your most ybciiielit humble servant,

A Dis'patch. ()sated the 2d of Julie': has been re-
ceived it the East trotti the Vice-
PF esident itiCouucil at Fort William, iu Bengal,
with several .enclosures.

These enclosures are numerous, hut the follow-

Extract from a Report from Major-General Sir D. Marshall,
K.C.B. coin/minding the Left Division of the. 41-my, to the
Adjutant-General. _ .

CAMP, APRIL 30.

On the 26th:instant, I ditimysell the honour of
reporting, to you, by express, the success of our
operations against town of Mundlah'; and in
a clupliefit,c, of that communication, dispatched
next Morning, I had the further satisfaction of
announcing the unconditional surrender of the
fort, and of the troops that garrisoned it.
Ino proceed to lay, through you, before his
Excellency the Most Noble the Commander-in-
Chief, a detail of the particulars of those ope-
rations.

The materials for the batteries were completed
by the 25th, notwithstanding the immense num-
ber of gabions, fascines,, &c. that ,were required,
on account, of the many batteries.to be erected,
and of the heavy calibre of some of the enemy's
guns that bore on our intended points of attack.
Ott the night of the 25th, the whole of the
pioneers and miners, aided by almost every sepoy
that remained in the lines, were employed on the
inivortaut work of erecting the batteries, which,
highly 'to their credit, were all finished, and: the
Apes on their. platforms, before day-break. The
, eaeatv fired but fortunately the material
• part of the...work was finished during the dark-'
nen of the night, and only one casualty trap-

pened.
I feel myself called upon. in this part of my,
report, to notice in the strongest terms of at).-
,plause the meritorious conduct.ul- the officers ot
the engineer department, .viz.. Captain.Tickell,
,Lieutenants Pecket and Cheape, Ensigns Colvin
.and Iryine, and Cadet Warlow ; their high spirit
of devotion to the service, their indefatigable

exertions, which only'ceased with the fall of the
. garrison, their daring recOnnoissances, in all quar-
ters, to ohtainlocal knowledi;c„. of a -place of ex-
itremely difficult approach, wat,!:!:ed too with no.
ceasing jealousy by the detenderi, the scientific
positions they selected,
.and the able manner in
which they erected their !atteries thereon, con-
spicuously marked the meritorious conditct'of the
officers whose names I have here considered it my
thry to bring to the knowledgeot the Most Noble
the Commander- in-Chief.
As soou as.day'-liAlit sufficiently broke, our bat-
teries opened, and were instantaneously answered
by a spill. eli fire from-the whole of the enelny's
works. Our gnus were served with a vivacity, and
laid with a precision, worthy of the scientific cha-
racter which the Bengal artillery h 6 always main-
tained, end the progress was very encouraging.
At two o'clock, P. M. it was intimated to me by
Lieutenant Pickersgill,Deputy-Assistant-Qnarter-
Master7General, that he had personally examined
the breach ; and he gave such atayourable de-
scription thereof, from his own observations made
on the spot, that in the hope a couple of hours'
more battering would render it practicable, 1 got
the division under arms, and .proceeded with it
directly across the river, at the same time an-
nouncing the arrangements I Wished to adopt for
storming the enemy's works.
It is hut justice to Lieut. Pickersgill to mention
the above circumstance, which led to the resolu-
tion !adopted of crossing the river at once : while
the breach could not be called practicable, that
uncommonly zealous Officer,. conceiving the pow-
erful effect .which the enfilading battery had most
likely produced, went with his hircanahi, and by
their assistance, with the utmost intrepidity
mounting to the top of the breach, made his ob-
setvations,- and then came over to my camp with
the intelligence he•had thus obtained.
The troops arrived in the rear of the investing
post, at a quarter past 3 P. M., but were halted by
my orders, about 1200 yards in the rear of it:—
They consisted of a storming and a supporting
column ; the former composed of four companies
2d battalion Ist native infantry, under .iNlajor
Midwinter, eight companies 2d battalion 13th
native infautry, under Major Thomas, and three
companies Ist battalion 14th native infantry, tin-
der Lieut. Lewis ; the whole under the command
of. Brigadier Dewar. The latter was formed of
five companies of the 2d battalion Bth native in-
fantry, under Major Manley, and eight compa-
nies of the 2d battalion 28th native infantry, un-
der-Captain Wrottesley ; the whole under Briga-
dier Price. •
Both coluinns were placed- under the direction
and orders of Brigadier-General Watson, C.B.
The rest of the infantry continued in their posts
orinvestment, and two companies wer,c sent to
protect the park and stores remaining on the other
side.

Ji) this disposition 1 halted until about half-
. past five, when, to the satisfaction of the eager
troops, Captain Tickell, Field-Engineer, who,
with some of his officers had examined the breach,
personally gave the preconcerted signal that the
troops might advance. Brigadier-General Watson
most judiciously concluding that no time was to be
lust, moved forward at once to the assault, with
some. pioneers, 'and a party of 50 or 60 men of
the Ist battalion 14th native infantry, under
Lieutenants Lewis and Aitchison, followed closely
by,Captain D'Aguilar of the 13th, with three
companies of that corps, and what remained of
the detachment of the Ist battalion, 14th native
infantry; the main body coming up in double
quick time, joined the assailants without loss of
time. The breach, from being unoccupied by the
enemy, was instantly mounted and carried, our
troops rushing along the ramparts,- and up. the
principal streets of the town, driving before them
the. enemy, who now endeavoured, when two
irate, to maintain themselves, and suffered very
severely in their retreat towards the fort : the
town was soon in our possession with scarcely
:soy 1055 ; , such of the fugitives as attempted
to escape to the fort found the gates shut against

.

them, and felt-' in beeps under the destructive
fire which now 'Toured upon them from Cap-
tain Black's b-attery. Annund Sing, Com-
mandant, an old officer of the Rajah of Berar, and
the-most violent instigatOr of the resistance we
experienced, was said to he among the slain at this
spot. Abtnt 250 of the fugitives had collected in
the corne!,farthest from the breach; these, on the
approach of our troops along the ramparts, made
,some resistance, .but at length adopted the fatal
resolution of rushing outside through .11 small
gateway ; they were observed by the, investing
parties, under Major-Cumming and Capt. Sterling,
of the 7th civalry—these officers instantly moved
forward, and after chasing thern'fint tine quarter
to another, drove them at length into the Ner-
buddah, where they all perished, but about 50
taken prisoners, many of them badly ,wounded.—
The enemy must ha-ve lost 500 men in the assault
and occupation of the town.
. .
As soon as the town became ours, the troops
were pushed forwart(as near as possible to the
fort, and estriblit,hediltemsaVes.

_ .
At midnight Cape advanced posts
observed a small boat.croSiingthe river with four
rrsons, and by. good, management contrived to
seize them as they landed'. They were conducted
to Captain Black, and'one'of them proved to be
Saheb Ruy'Hoozaree, Killedar of Mundlah, who
on being discovered, declared he had dome over
to treat for the Unconditional surrender of the
garrison. He was-of course detained,--aad sent
over next morning.
At day-break of the 2704. the garrison, who
had so completely lost courage that they had not
dared to fire a single 'shot during the,niu,ht, came
out unarmed, headed by Nuthoo Ram fipozaret,
and quietly surrendc•red themselves pritoriers; to-
the amount of 1,000, or 1,200 persons, besides
400 or 500 who were not of a military character.
Thus closed a series of operations in which not
a single mischance_ occurred to disappoint the ex-
pectations we hail formed. The enemy has been
teverely punished for his temerity in opposing
the British arms, while on our side not an Offi-
cer has been touched, and our loss is confined to
3 killed and 14 wounded.

Having established a proper garrison for the
place, one of my first proceedings. was to bring
Sahab Row • and Muthoo Ram to a iperly trial
before a Native General Drum-head Court-Martial,
on charges of rebellion and treachery, deducible
horn their resistance to the orders of the Nag-
Fore Government, and their attack on Major
O'Brien ; the result has been their acquittal* ; and
.they have been made over to Nlr. Maiony, Com-
missioner ofthe District, with the others, against
whom nothing transpired to induce me to bring
them before the above tribunal.

To the foregoing details I have only to submit
the following documents, hoping that the meri-
torious conduct of the division Will he viewed
with approbation by his Excellency the Most
Noble the Commander-in-Chief.
Return of the killed and wounded during the operations
before Mundlah.
Ditto of the guns and ordnance stores captured in ditto..
Copy of tuY Division Orders of the 49th inst., on. the occa-
sion of the fall of Mundial,.

town and fort of Mundlah, by the division of the army
commanded by Major-General Marshall.
Total iron and brass ordnance-4n.
107 cannon ballsof different weights, from 38 to 1-pounders.
* There being no doubt on the minds of the Court that the
prisoners *ere acting under orders of tho Nagpore Govern-
ment, and under the restraint and coercion of Chiefs (para.
cularly Annund Sing) sent by the Nagpore Government tev-
control the prisoners and ensure obedience to those orders.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 7.

WHITE V. GERUT.

ThiS action was brought by a Music-seller at
Bath, against the defendant, one of .the same.
'business in London, to recover damagesfor hay-.
ing pirated a certain musical composition called
" Captain White," a favourite Country Dance
composed by the plaintiff, and which having been
much the fashion at Bath, was profitable to the
defendant in London.

George White, brother to the plaintiff, proved
the composition of the first part of the dance in
1814; the second part was composed in 1816.
it was afterwards published by plaintiff among
other country dances, with his name attached ; it
sold well.

Mr. Frazer proved that he bought the Dance at
the ctefenda►►t's shop.
Mr. CAMPBELL took R legal objection, and con-
tended that it was no piracy.-
The Learned JUDGE reserved the point.
Mr. CAMPBELL then called Mr. Wilson, a Mu-
sical Professor. He had seen the dance of Cap-
tain White there was nothing original in it. It
was made up of-two or three bars of " Of she
goes." There was also notes from " Love in her
Eyes," the " Irish Washerwoman," and other old
dances.

Mr. Richards, the Leader of the Band at the
Royalty, corroborated this statement.
'l'l►e defendant's shopman proved that his mas-
ter stopped the sale so soon as he was'informed
of the plaintiff's claim,

The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff---Da.
Rages, 51.

SMITH. V. 'HALL.
wao an action brungla by the plaintiffs *

butcher, at Limehouse, to, recover a compensa-
tion in damages for a severe assault, committed
by the defendant, his servant. It appeared that
a dispute arose between the butcher and his man,
and that the latter, not without. provocation,
struck his master several blows on the Cace. The
Airy, under all the circumstances, found a ivey-
diet for the defendant. '

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 7.
TURNER V. TURNER AND OTIIEES.

This was an action for a conspiracy, brought by
Sir Gregory Page Turner against his mother Lady
Turner, and other members of the family, for
.having sued out a statute of lunacy against him,
with a view to obtain possession of his property.
Two witnesses were adduced, who proved that
the statute of lunacy had been issued through
the proceedings instituted by the defendants, but
on cross-examination these witnesses stated that
the plaintiff had in consequence of the advice of
Doctors Monroe and Sims heen put into a strait
waistcoat,- in 1811 and 1814.
Upon this evidence being heard,

The CHIEF JUSTICE interfered, and observed,
that if the Counsel for the plaintiff had no evi-
dence; of a different 'nature to adduce, it would be
more adviseable to close the case, with a view to
save the feelings of the plaintiff himself, as well
I.l's those of the respectable family with ctilich he
was connected.

The plaintiff's Counsel' observing, that accord-
ing to his instructions he was not enabled to,say
that he had evidence of a different character to
bring-forward, the case was closed, and the plain-
tiff was nonsuited.
