The Kidnapped Boy—whose rescue from slavery we announced on Saturday—has reached this city, on his way to his home at Worcester. He is a bright, intelligent little fellow, about eight years of age, and the son of a very respectable mechanic at Worcester. The gentleman who went to Virginia in search of him is a Mr. Rice; he deserves much credit for the skill and promptitude with which he effected his benevolent object. Shearer, the kidnapper, was left in jail at Fredericksburg, awaiting a requisition from the Governor of Massachusetts. He had two or three accomplices, and there is a strong reason to believe, from what came out on the examination, that three or four other colored boys have been kidnapped and sold by him and his confederates. Sydney, the boy now rescued, was sold by Shearer for four hundred and fifty dollars. N. Y. Com. Adv.
