A little g,rl, named Susan, aged about
Eve years, tie daughter Of Mr.. Benjamin
karlol,, Artificial Florist, who r.sIucs at
So Chatham-row, took her departure about
9 o'clock, or the purpose Of goins toa
scnool, kept by Mrs. Temperance Ely, at
/ No. 9, rlank.ort-street. The chlld's re-
turn was naturally expected at noon but
she did not appear; nor did she COME
home all night. In the morning the unea-
| siness of the parents can be more easily
conceived than expressed, as she was
deemed most innocent and engaging
| child by all VINO ever Knew her. An adj
4 vertiselnent was prepared, mentioning the
time oil her Leaving honie, her dress, &c.
and very hnmancly inserted by the respec-
tive editors Of most Of our daily papers
n but the child was neither seen nor heard |

\ when Mrs. bachio, an intimate acqua,nt-
ance Of the family, happening IL be ia
\ Chatham-street, near Mr.. Loriiiard's was
called by her name two or three times, by
the child, whose dress, however, was SO
metamorphu Ell, th1t If she had not recol-
lccted the voice, she would not have
known her. Her chip hat was cut all
| round, aud her yandyke cl,anged--a cap,
and large rufle made Of muslin put round
! her neck III such a manner as almost en-
tirely to hide her face, aud her petucsat
had been taken away. Her little hands
! were tied together at the wrists BY rope;
there were likewise two ropes rurnd her
body, the one uudersahsr ,.irsoL, and the
other above it, IA -. W. ~.
The lady procured penknife from a
gentleman passing by, and gut the ropes
with which her hands we're tifd., AT this
period, two black women came up, one al

man asking her what she wanted with the
child, they both tunk to their Il els. The
account which the child, who is very intel,
\ ligent for one OF her years. gives Of this
N very extraordinary transaction, is as fol-
J lnws--That when she had got along as fal

her sweet meats, play tings. &c. thai
