'Police boats fei7ed a wherry, having on board a
quantity of fpkes unlawfully obtained. Two men
who were in her were conii4led under the Bum-
boat Ad to Fay a certain fine, but not paying
the fame, they were committed to Dartford-gaol
for a limited time, anJ, agreeably to AEI of Par-

THY COILDREN IN Tilt SNOW.-•••A very inte.
telling event lately took place in the Commune of
Solhack, on the right bank of- the Rhine. Two
children, one three, the other four years old, had
wandered from home in the morning, and loft them-
/elves in a place called the Shinthal. Their parents
fnon milled them, and fought for them in the
greaten dithers of mind the whole day. They were
not to be found. Night came on, their alarms and
anxiety increafed, all their neighbours cametotheir
Alliance. The meth) was rung in the neighbour-
ing communes, and all the inhabitants, armed with
guns, larrliorns, and dogs, knelled every valley,
hill, and dale. It was a fingular fight to fee fo
' many lights wandering over the mountains at mid
night. No tidings were heard, no traces obtained
of the innocent wanderers. At length their own
dog, a ho had accompanied the parents. came run-
ning to them. He had traced the footsteps of the
little children in the fnow, and dragging the father
by the coat, conveyed them to their babes, who
were lying in each other's arms on the friow. The
boy had his arms thrown over his little Idler, whole
head he had lodged in his neck, to keep her warm.
