CHILD SI'EALING.

LAINSITM-STRSCT.—Yesterflay Mary Make and Ars
Tyrrel, who stood charged on suspicion of having stolen
a male ehilii, as stated in former papers, were re exa-
mined before Sir D. WILLIAMS sod M. %VTATT, Earl. the
sitting Magistrates.
It was stated in SOMA of Saturday's Papers, that the
child was claimed by a pear woman named
residing at Chatham, wbo then attended; as also by
brother and sister, in the city, and that the prjsoner4
were on that examination remanded, in order that the
latter parties; with the necessary witnesses. might have
an opportunity of attending.
M . Allen and Cain, beadles of St. George's in the
Rase, who since the commencement of this mysterious
proceeding, have been indefatigable in their exertions
to trace the child to its proper Tweets, attended with
the two latter claimants, the one a boy in Ids appren-
ticeship, and his sister, a young woman, t at the
house of Mr. Garlick, the undertaker, No. 77, Fleet-
market, when it appeared from the statement of the
young woman, who gave her name Sarah Royal, that
her father, who was • mechanic, and parishioner of
Clerkenwell, died in that parish, in cowl-tepee of meet-
ing with an accident, better than twelve months ago,
leaving a large family, the majority of whom were hole.
less, to the care of a mother, whose general habits Were
not the best. The parish under these circumstances
took two of the children (boys) ander their care, owe of
whom they apprenticed, and the ether, who was then
only an infant. about a year old, they sent out to nurse.
She hail never since seen the child, nor could she di.-
cover where it was, or whether it was living or dead,
although she had made several applications to that ef-
fect to the Parish Officers, until a few days ago, when
she chanced to read • Police Report from this office, in
one of the Newsmap►rs, riving an account of two per-
sons (the priatamass9, being detained, charged with bar-
ing stolen a child, (nand with them tinder mysterious
circumstances. On reading this statement it itiantedi-
ately struck her that the child was no other than her
little brother. and consequently cause forward to claim
it. as the Parish Officers seemed very reserved a. to its
fate. They generally answered her inquiries, by merely
saying the child was out at nurse.
The poor little child, whose case has for some time
hark agitated the public mind, was bronght iota the
Justice-room in the arms of the workhouse nitric, anal
bore a most decided resemblance to the young woman
and her brother.

The young woman, after embracing the child, sail
she had no doubt whatever but that it was her brother;
she could not tell whether her mother was livint or
dead, as she had not heard of her for a length of time,
and cannot account for what cause the parish kept the
fate of the child a mystery to her.
The poor woman Reynolds was ready to 'Wear on th
former examination thit the child WAS hers, and won!
we presume have had it restored to her, had not the
other claimants so soon come forward. 'rise :Magistrate
inquired if ■he was now in waiting, and was inforinr.l
by the braille that she was lying ill at the workhouse.
The perish Officers of Clerkrowell bad summon--a
to attend, but they did not think proper to come fa.-
ward.

The Magistrates remarked, that if the story of the
young woman was true, their conduct throngliont
whole of the proceedings was highly culpable, in.! tli%t
it behoved them now to come forward, and unravel ti.,
ease. They ordered second summonses to he servr
on them; requiring their attendance at the odic,;
on which day all the other parties were desired to corn...
The young woman intimated; that she dreaded her mas-
ter and mistress would not allow her to be absent from
their house on any other day ; she in CollSeipeliCe
had • summons in the office. commanding her attend-
ance. The prisoners were again remanded.

On Wednesday ev..• 'ng last, Fore-street was thr,,wa
into confusion by the sporting gambols of a .11exter
Bruin. The animal, we are informed, is the pro.
prrty of a tradesman of this city, who hag reared it
from a eub. The keeper scot lea-liag it from the ?Ism
where it had been usually kept, to the upper part of
Fore•strret, fastened by a criain ; the unusal appear-
ance of a Bear attracted the attention of a nutuer,Me
assemblage of boys, who began to show, St-. which
his b, arship not dicing grew very restive, and drawing
the chain from the titan's hand, ran down the str-et
fol'o ted by a crowd of persons: after considela le
difficulty the keeper succeeded in securing it; the
crowd by this time was increased considerably, to the
no small terror of twos), ladies who were passings* the
time. Very foitunately no injury was sustained--

A NEW Moos or Br-minim—On Friday night the
shop of 3lr. Duddell, silversmith and jeweller, on dal-
