She says that owing to the il! treatment she received from her adopted mother she resolved to run away, bring the little child with her and become a prostitate in this city. Acting om this resolution, on the 7th day of April, 1866, sho being then but sixteen years of age, and the child, Mary McCarthy, only ten years old, the two left Madison and arrived in New York in the evening. They wandered through the gtreets until nightfall, and when cold and woary they found themselves in Centre street. It was raining heavily at the time, Catching the child more firmly by the hand the wretched girl descended into one of those foul dens whicn disgrace the strect, and there applied for home—a home of sin to destroy her soul. The mistress of the piace having some remnant of the woman yet remaining, refused to take her while she had the child. Resorting to a subterfuge, the girl said she had found the child in the streets, leaving the dep, sne went out, and when at the corner of Grand and Centre streets she met @ policeman Accosting the officer, him that abe found the child in the street and asked hima to take it im charge and bring it to the House of the Good Shephe The chiid was then given over to the policeman, and the girl returned to the house she had previously entered. and from that time to the present the bas been leading the ilfe of a common prostitute. As soon as Mary Ann was arrested on last Saturday and made this statement the records at police beadquarters were searched, but no trace of the wissing child could be found, neither could the books of the Commissioners of Pubiic Charity and Correction throw any ligh¥ which indicate the slightest knowledge of the lost one, and the ticularly his colored friends, proceasion was forwed in front of the Temperance Hall, It ‘was composed of oue bh: ed whites, preceded by a band from Lambertsvilie, and about fifty niggers, aceompanied by an ebony musical troupe from Philadelphia, The members were decorated with the insignia of their order, and after marching through the city proceeded to Moses? woods to hold a mass meeting, but very few out. siders visited the locality.

A meeting of the Privy Council took place here to-day, There was nearly afuli quorum, Of course the nature of the business transacted has not yet transpired, To- morrow, however, we shall hear of what was done in council, The question now arises, what 1s to be done with Nova Scotia? and those who recollect how many argu- ments were used during the late war in favor of seces- sion by the English and conservative Canadian press now see reason to fear that Nova Scotia will point to these and declare its right to secede—a right which it clearly has, for it was pat into the Union without the conseat of its people, Had they consented it would be otherwise. Now the troubles of the new confederacy will begin, and all will not be couleur de rose as was ex- pected, The passage by the Imperial Parliament of the bill of confederation, entitied the Union act, does not settle everything.
