ILECOVERY OF A STOLEN CHILD.—.-FOr the last week,
the family of Thomas King, a poor labouring mechanic,
residing in Dock-street, East Smithfield, has been in the
utmost distress, in consequence of their youngest child,
a fine little boy, about two years old, having been pri-
vately carried off by a strange woman, who went by the
appellation of " Sal, the child-stealer." Yesterday
morning, the afflicted parents were over jnyed at re-
ceiving a letter from Wilkinson, the person who went iii
search of the child, stating that he had succeeded in
finding the woman a Market-street, St. Alban's, where
she was singing songs, with the child in her arms. The
letter went on to state, that the woman was under the
charge of a constable, and the child was taken the ut,
most care of by a humane inhabitant of that town. In
the afternoon the parents were sent dovin to St. Alban's,
at the cost of the parish of Whitechapel, to take posses-
sion of their infant, and to prosecute the woman, the ex-
pense of which the parish will also defray.
The American Papers put us in mind, of our friend
MATHEWS' humorous representation of the French
Poet's address to Shencral Shacksson. The Columbian
Observer of the 29th ult. is filled with mils in prose and
verse on ANDREW JACKSON, " the Hero of Orleans,"
the " second WASHINGT3N of America." These com-
pliments, whether merited or not, are at• least intelli-
gible ; but it must be a better (Edipus than we profess
to be, who can explain the poetic effusion comprised in
the following four lines:
Freemen, cheer the Hickery tree ' •
In storms, its boughs have sheltered thee;
O'er Freedom's land its branches wave,
'Twas planted on the Lwe's GRAVE.
What particular virtue there is in the Hickery tree:
what Lion's grave it was planted upon ; why it was
planted there ; and what all this has to do with General
ANDREW JACKSON, we, with all humility, profeis our-
selves quite unable to comprehend.
