plication was made by Mr. James Lading, the landlord of the Black
!'rince in Chandos-street, Covent-garden, in behalf of a poor half-
starved boy whom he had some time since taken into his house, and
afforded him sustenance and clothing, The substance of Mr. Easlintee
statement at the time was that the boy was an orphan. and had been
supplied by the parish officers, to whom he bad applied for relief, with
a broom. and told to sweep a crossing ; that he did so for some tints.
until his strength failed him ; and after being several nights wi.hou: s
bed, he found his way to Mr. Easling's door in a shivering condition
and hall dead one morning just as the house opened. Mr. E. kindly
took him in, gave hint refreshment, and caused him to be put to bed.
Mrs. Ruling, equally humane with her husband, contributed all 1,;.l
could to the comfort of the poor boy. but he was seized with a malig-
nant fever. and Mr. Luling, having several children of his own, was
fearful of contagion, and applied to the magistrates for an order upon
the parish officers to have the boy removed. The order, upon the cer-
tificate of Mr. Beaman, the parish surgeon, was granted, and the hoc
removed to the workhouse. At the time of the application Sir Richard
Birnie and Mr. Illinsholl complimented Mr. Rattling upon his huma-
nity, and expressed a wish that if the boy recovered they might beagaio
applied to, in order to render any assistance in their power towards ob.
taining a permanent provision for him.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Raiding waited upon Sir Richard Binge.
bringing with him the boy, who, under the excellent care bestowed
upon him at the workhouse. had perfrnily recovered trout the fever.
Mr. Raiding stated that in consequence of the report in the newspaPm
of his former applications several persona of high respectability had
called at his house, and volunteered to make sonic provision for the
boy in cue of his recovery. The Reverend Dr. Wordsworth. seven'
ladies, and a cicgyman at Southampton, were amongst those who had
made applications and tenders of service to the boy, and they offered to
leave sums of money, which, however, he (Mr. Ealing) declined to re-
ceive. Mr. Ealing added. that he should keep the boy for a time, on"'
he had entirely recovered his strength, and he should feel grateful if
Sir Richard would render him assistance, in case it should be nettled.
to procure a reception for him in one of the public asylums.

orphan ?
Mr. Ruling-1 es, Sir Richard. His mother, after the death cilia
husband, brought the boy to London, and she died soon after. .
The boy (an intelligent looking lad), who was attired in a suit of
clothes which Mr. Ealing had provided him with, looked healthy
comfortable, and thanked Sir Richard for his kindness.
Sir R. Bistro:—Don't thank me, my boy ; your benefactor is aloe'
side of you. Mr. Ruling, you will always have the satisfsction of
knowing that you have preserved this poor boy from desuuction•
