Al the aiigatiu, however, of some by slanders, iiie poor woman, who declared her name I to be Ann Mayheld, wus induced lu let the iai rollers proceed on their way, and udvised lo ieort ilninfcdiately to legal proceedings 1 t tnlo;ce er parental righls. According I t i i i iv, a win ui uaucas coipus wus bucu oui in ihe Second District Jourt, by AunMny lielJ, ugainsl Mr. and Mrs. VViUou. lu her petition, she averred that she was the mo ther of the hale girl, named 11mm, ageu seven years, who wus stolen from her sev eral years ago, and was now detained by ihe defendants. To this Mr. and Mis. Wilson replied, by denying that she was the mother of the child, and further al leged that if she was the mother, she wus Ol sucli notoriously bad character, lhtl it wuiild not be proper for her to have charye ! uf so young a clnld. The case came up ! lur trial beloie Judge Canon, and occupied i all Wednesday ami yesterday The testi mony Cblabluiicd lh.it lue petitioner, Ann I .tiny neld, caine to Natchez some years ago, witli a very yu nig clnld , th.it she was de serted by tne in in who accompanied her io thai i In - and belli,- m very destitute cir con blsnces, and anxious to get io New Or I leans, actually sold la r child to (lie Wil sous, .n ordi r lo (urnisli l.er with clothing and bear her expenses to this city, bul thai il was understood lli.it she was to reclaim the child whenevci oiie desired. .Since then, however, the had heard nothing of the v ilsous and her child, until the accidental encounter on the aiieels 1 hese facts were proved by a competent witness, and were to a great extent admitted by the defen dants There was some difficulty, howev er, in identifying i ho child. The mother swore positively on tins point, and the atu rcstuioLoi.e be. ween theii) confirmed I Iter tesituiony I Alter learned and eloquent arguments 1 from .Messrs Front and Aoell for plaintiffs. utid Cotickhn and lfeney for defeudaau, 1 Judge Canon proceeded to rendtr judg ! tuent in the case Whilst the Judga was ' rxi.icniitf: Ins tlecision, the teens) within th contention sit between ihe organ-grinder and his wife, ami seemed to be clinging io il,..i.i f..r nrntt-rtion. On lh nf her aiilo u-aa ! he hagard and sorrow-lricken mother, I . .1 U J -l U...J j wtioee neati, mouu acojeo auu uaiueneu by misfortune, still tbrobbjd with til that intense devotion &ul love which a mother only can fee-1 The Court roorx was crow ieu wiiii tui aud jxaq wbo UiuUitcpUud the cenewith deep interest. , JadgCnoii coinmenced hie judjrment hy . relating a (act that came under Jit obacrration about, twenty years tf o. A poor colored woman, intbiaciij, oncefoundatherdoora pew born white infant, whom ale took into Ler house, and. with jrreat care and jendrrneasjj noraed and reared until aba grew up to bi m beautifbt.and interesting gin of ten ran, when the waa one dajf recognized bf a highly respectable lady as her own ebfMj and as such waa identified and returned. In such cases as these, the benevolent Joc'ge remarked, much stress must be gir en to the testimony of ihe mother, whcfll instinct would enable her to recognize and identify the child, when all other persona might fail in so doing. He would, there fore, order tbe child to be delivered over to the peiitioier, (hereihe mother audibly- ex claimed " Thank' voti. Judsrel thank you l': whilst a deep sigh from the organ grinder, and a low sob from his wife show ed how keenly they felt their apprehended bereavement.) As to, the styctwa lhat the toother's character was bad, that would be a rood reason for depriving her of the tutorshy) bt ;he child, but it could not be examined into in this dispute Ii was admitted that her character was bad. He was sorry for it, and trusted that when restored lo the chart of her little girl that she would alter ber conduct und lead a vir.uons life. On the other hand, he did not think that' ihe We and profession of tbo orgm-grinder were favorable to the proper training of a young girl. The Judge then directed the bher.ff to execute thejudgmenl of Ihe coort' 1 hd solemn and grave looking Deputy She nu then proceeded towards the group of organ grinders, when the little girl, as if discor ering his object, drew back, clinging with an expression of ihe deepest grief nhd alarm to :he dress of her foster-mother. The Sheriff, however, by the use of a little gen tle force, succeeded in separating them, and taking the liule girl in his arms, deliv ered her to her natural mother, wbo rWv ed towards ihe chi.d and encircling her -W' her arms embraced her delecnte little body with the ardor and de rot ion of true love, the child all the while repaying her carri es with the most vigorous efforts to release herself, screaming "You are not my M there is my Ma I won't go with you." Alas the poor child bad entirely forgot ten her natural mother. She remembered only ihe kind news and aftVction of the Of-;an-grinders, and seemed inconsolable for her separation from them. The latter, with expressionPof tbe deep est sorrow aud grief, retired from the court, umid the sympathy and regret of the large crowd, who, with tearful' eyes, witnessed the arTeadnirscene, which we have thus hurnedly related. We have since learned, thai it is ihe in tention of the mother of the child to plaCt bar in an orphan asylum, where She mny be educated free from the contaminatW influences of her mother's life, and where she may be visited by both her natural and foster parents Most ardently do we hope that this interesting little g;rl may be saved from the misfortunes and vice which over whelmed her poor mother, and that th iui. pressive incidents and deep srrief of her childhood mar secure her those attentions and sympathy by which female purity rxrul virtue are cmedy guarded and preserved. THE DEATH OF WOLFE. Storm i no or Ucebec, 13th Sckcxbcb, 1756. The camp at Montmorenci waa broken up, and the troops and artillery were conveyed to Point Levi; and very soon after, ihe fleet sailed to some dutiance a bove the city This movement deceived Montcalm into a belief that an attack from that quarter was meditated On the night of the 12th of September, the troops in noats glided silently down the river, ami all the French sentinels were passed with out being alarmed. They landed within a mile and a half of the etty, and immedi ately commenced the ascension of the pre cipice.
