Max.— A poor Irish Woman has applied to me for my assistance, ill recovering her stolen child, by giv- ing publicity to the circ umstanres attending her most distressing case. Her name is Alary Callaghan ; she is the » ife of John Callaghan, and states their resi- dence to be at No. I, Greville- Street. The child iu question is a fine boy, with blun eyes, anil about si* weeks old. The mother had it in her arms in Queen Square, between Eight and Nine o'clock on the night of this day week. Nancy, the wife of Dennis Lyues, ( lately lodging at a house in Marsh- street, kept by a person named Jenkins,) was with her. This woman was in the last month of pregnancy with hsr first ohild. The mother of the little boy gave it into the arms cf this Nancy Lynes for a moment, and having stooped to arrange some part of her dress, when she raised herself, found that neither ihe child' nor the woman were m sight; nor has she seeu the infant since. The Chilift § tea1er and her husband lefttheir lodgings that night, shirlly prior to the r. irrnmstatiee above narrated ; and it appi- ars, that the woman had is the course of the dm, told another lodger in the house • where she and her htwhand resided, thru if ^ he had a child, she could make a mint ot moifey with it iu \ Y-: iVs, by begging. I trust this notice may lead to a knowledge of th0 route taken by the heartless wretch, and. he inslu mental to the restoration of the poor iufaut to its be reaved pareuts. The parties applied to me 011 Wednesday, ( after my publication bad gone to press) and T recommended them to proceed to Mr. Mills of the " Gazette,'' in order to ob; ain his humane interference, by the be- stowal of publicity on the case, in his paper of that evening. 1 am however, informed, that such assis. tancc was refused, because the parents of the stolen child cuu'd not pay for the article as an advertisement; I hope this statement is incorrect ; if not, it were ele sirable that ihe Editor's next babe might be purloiued by cadgers, were it but to give him the fel'ow- feel- iug for a parent under similar circumstances, J.

Now miglit it not be as, well to resort to the said dtastic remedy in this case, with respect to all the dogs, pups, cats, and kittens appertaining to the premises i f Mr. Jlaisall, in the hopes that at least some of the lost watch, s may thus be recovered. You might, reasonably, i think, extend your drastic favors to- the. imiue- neighbourhood— for instance, as tar es Mr. Jackson's, where, 1 am told, there is both a cat and dog a* pa ients whereupon to experimentalise. Two queries here present themselves to my rtimd, and as 1 am perfectly disinterested in ibis matter. 1 shall give you the lull benefit of their commu- cnianon. 1. Is it not possible that to some one of the ejected articles, there might be attached in this case, as in that I have quoted, a piece of iron, in the shape of i master » key for opening curiously constructed locks, such as that of which Mr. Halsall spesks ? 2. Might it not have happened, that after a dog had swallowed the watches, he ran with the box in his mouth to Dighton street, and there dropped it ?

We indignantly repel the base assertion he has made, of our having sworn to this money being sent him at Newport, We have never, either directly or indirectly made such an averment. When he was about leaving Bristol for Newport and Rouen, he was asked by us if he had sufficient money to dis- burse the vessel, and he replied in the affirmative.
