INFANCY.

- 'They who don't feel a Father's care,
Know little of his bliss—
The Parnt can but have the share.
Of Innen:mg** kiss!
0! 'tis a task of pleasing pain,
A duty of delight—
Ali a.qize of affection's gain,
A Wye Which nought can blight !
To watch with sweet aesriety,
The growth of Infant grace;
Ar.d in the foibles of their etc.
A future manhood trace!
To !scar the lisping eloquence,
Of an untainted tongue ;
And in its prattle note that sense,
Whhis learning may make strong !
Yes! though the bitter cup of life,
Islay happiness alloy;
Secure he lives Irons wordly strife,
Who tastes domestic joy !
Th2y who don'tfeel a Father's care,
Know little of his bliss—
The Parent can but have the share,
Of Innocency's kiss!

LOST CHILD, Ifc.

Bow-sontertr.—.-The question of the loss of Mr.
Horsley's child was resumed by Mt. 13inmE, who
sent For Elizabeth Holbrook, .the servant, runi exa-
mined her privately, and very minutely, as to the
whole of the transactions she had with the mad who
said his name was George Faulkner. Upon a full
examination of the girl it turns out not to be true,
what was generally understood and believed, at the
Ltvestigation berme Mr. HLc Ks, on Wednesday, that
an improper or criminal connexion had taken place
between her and the supposed George Faulkner. She
promised to resider every possible assistance to re-
cover the child, and to bring the robber to condign
punishment, although the insensibility upon her
ceruntenance remained the same, and she appeared
to be unmoved by any thing that took place, or that
was said toter. The first thing Mr. Birnie employed
her about was to send her to endeavour to find out
the house in Severn's-now, Islington, where Faulkner
fetched the umbrella from, which was alluded to in!
oar account of the case yesterday. The constables in-
terrogated the woman who owned the umbrella, and
from-her-answers and general conduct, they suspected':
her to be -an accessary with her husband: they in
consequence took her iota custody, and brought her
to the office, together with the umbrella. She un-
derwent a long examination, when it appeared that
herhusband's name is not Faulkner, but Kennett;
that he was of no direct or regular profession, but that
he frequently, went to France, and other foreign
parts, for the purpose, as supposed, of smuggling
he was frequently away from her for months at a
time he had lately returned from Aix la-Chapelle,:
and had been in England two months, and at that
time taken the lodging in Severn's-buildings, sup-'
posed to be for the purpose of being in the neigh-
bourhood of Mr. Horsley 's residence, to enable him
to carry inn) execution the plan
they
ofcarr)iucff Mr.l
Horsley 's son. She acknowledged thatlived
very uncomfortably together, but. that •on Sunday,
when he went off, they parted ftiendcait4 he took
leave of her between one and two ticcirotk, taking
with him two portmanteaus ariii'47 Arm of money ;
he said he was going-to France,' •ierd' slid' wiruld not
see him again far two mouths. She 'dahlia knowing
that be was going to carry off Mr. Itatiley's child,
or thathe had any scheme lot' that purPose.--Mr.
Itorsley was sent for to the Office, on her being
brought there ; on his arrival, and seeing her, he ap-
peared extremely shocked at finding his relation's (we
understand cousin) wife suspected of any knowledge
of stitch a horrid transaction ; but he confessed it did
not altogether surprise him that her husband, Charles
Kennett,-was the wretch who bad committed the
horrid deed, for he thought he was the min who had
carried off the child, from rancorous malignity, com-
bined with dreadful threat/ that he had made use of
towards him and his family.--Under all these cir•
cumstances, Charles Rennett was charged with the
crime of stealing the child, and Mr. Brags issued
warrants against him, and dispatched the most active
and intelligent officers in pursuit of him to Dover,-
Margate, Brighton, and other parts, and to pursue
him wherever they can gain any information respect-
ing him. They are accompanied by Mr. Horsley,
and some few friends, who can identify Kennett and
the child.

G UI STEALING.An fkidslock.
Who was remanded on Thursday, upon a charge of
child-stealing, (as mentioned in our Paper of yester-
day), underwent a re-examination betbrc Mr. Al-
derman SCIIOLEY. Arthur and Mary Connelly, the
parents of the child, attended, and the boy with them.
The story told by the prhoner, it appeared, was true,
so far is related to his taking the child to Barking,
and also on board the Mercury smack; but it was
aot the fact that he left the boy asleep in the cabin,
or that he at all recommended him to the care of the
Captain ; on the contrary, while the child; whom he
had represented to have neither father nor mother,'
v:as playing below deck, he wached an opportunity
and withdrew privately from the smack. • Captain
Carter had taken care of the. boy, brought him up
to Blackwall in the vessel, and was making the ne-
ce,:sary enquiries to whom he belonged, when the
father and mother arrived, and the Captain had the
heartfelt pleasure of restoring the child to his over-
joyed parents. The sole object of the prisoner seemed
to be that of deCoying the child away, but for what
virpose did not appear. It was also stated that he
had endeavotire.4 to decoy away several other chil-
dren in the neighbourhood.—The worthy Alderman
rep'robated in strong terms the depravity of the pri•
toner's conduct, and lamented it was not in his power
to punish him severely for such an offence: as how-
ever it appeared he was an idle and disorderly cha-
racter, and had no visible means of getting his living,
he should commit him to hard labour for one month.
