"%Vitus, for the coast of Africa, with Captains CLA P PERTON and RoBERT PEARCE, and Doctors Mon BISON anj IVa.sosr, of the Royal N tvy, on their mission into the interior of Africa, having in view the disco very of the yet unknown course and termination of the . river Niger, and opening friendly communications with the principal native Kings and Chiefs. The UnAzas bas also on board, with the same object, a number and variety cf pre:ents, suited to the notions, capabilities, - - and wants of the Kings and chief persons of the dit ferent tribes. The travellers will d-bark in the Big' t cf Benin, whence Captain Pzanca and Dr. MountsoN still proceed e ist ward, in as direct a coiut.e as circum stances will permi:, to Timbuctoo ; and Captain CLAP- PeRTON and Dr. WILSON will proceed northward, taking the city of Soudon for their ulterior point.— The Kng c.f SourinN has promised•to send guides to S,ckatoo, to meet the latter travellers, receive the presents, and propitiate the other native Save,eigtr, It is a prevailing belief among the natives, that there is a lake communication between both Timbuctoo and S-Aidon, with the Atlantic Ocean, flowing into the WIN. The travellers are gone out in the highest health and spirits, and with the most sanguine expec tAtions of ultimately succeeding in their object. Lieut. JAmt,s, Royal Marine Artillery, for Ascension, and Mr. IVA:. AiniN, Assistant Surgeon of the NIA IDSTONE, are also passengers in the BRA ZEN. The EDWARD transport sailed in company with the BRAZEN, having 150 soldiers of the Royal African Corps on board. The BRAZEN has also 50 men of the same corps on -boat►; and 12 smugglers who are to serve five yeats on that station. ELOPEMENT.—An amatory expedieon from the Vale of Clwyd took place last week. The Lady is likely to become possessed of a handsome fortune, and her lover was in her father's employ. They were closely pur sued by the brothers of the Lady, who overtook the, refugees at Tranmere Ferry, opposite Liverpool, where a good deal of disinclination to return was manifested LT the parties. Eventually they crossed the Mersey, tut were placed in the custody of the Police; on the circumstances being explained, they were s^t at liberty. LiverreooL.—Friday, a destructive fire broke out in the building-yards beyond the Brunswick Dock.— here are five building-yards together there: the fire broke out in that one nearest the south, and in less than an hour the %%bole cf the wood in the yards (with the exception of the northern one, nearest to the dock) was in flames. Five vessels in progress of building, more or less advanced, were consumed; one, a steam-vessel, w. s nearly ready for launching ; another, a ship of 400 tors burden, was little less forward. Fortunately, in the yard next to the Brunswick Dock, no vessel was on the stocks. They loosely reckon the loss at fifty thousand pounds. A distressing loss has been expe rienced in the books of three of the proprietors, which could not be saved from the flames. An engine got down to the yards before the destruction was complete; but the tide being at lowest ebb, little water could be obtained, and the service of the engine consequently was very little. •It is said that one man was seen to be overwhelmed by the fall of the burning frame of one of the vessels that was on the stocks ; no assist ance could be rendered him, and he perished. Thel stocks were only, insured to a trivial amount. Several of the builders, proprietors of these yards, were enjoy .. ing, the night before, the festivities of the Mayor's table. Friday morning, as the shopmen of Messrs. list.t.vaa, furniture warehouse, Mount-street, Lambeth, were opening the premi ses , t hey found a man, a well -known character, concealed behind some furniture; he was secured, but not without considerable resistance. It appeared that he bad contrived to gain admission en the previous evening, with the intention of plundering the warehouse, but was frustrated in his object by the place being left so well secured, and was obliged to vemain a prisoner the whole night. The boxing-match between Salmon, a pupil of Ro hissacto, the black, and Gerrard, a carman, for twenty nworeigns, proved fatal to Salmon on Thursday last, it Moire, in Scotland. Gerrard is a powerful man, of fifteen stone, and the deceased was twelve stone only. The stnvivor had the best of all the rounds, and conti-1 nosily gave heavy falls, as well as blows, until the 45. h tapnd, when the deceased was carried away senseless, and died before he reached the nest inn. Moaday, at Gomersal, Edward Ward, a child, swal lowed some oil of vitriol, which his father was using in the manufacture of blacking, of Which he died in grea: agony on the following day. During a tremendous storm of thunder, on Tuesday week, a cottage at Armine, near Boothferry, was struck by lightning, and a woman killed on the spot. Mr. Reives of Middleton, Bucks, was unfortunately killed 'on Friday evening, by his chaise being over turitod, on his return from Egham. The fashion of dividing shops now, in considerable thoroughfares, where 'rents are high, leads often to whimsical results. A house in the Camberw-11-road, parted in this way, presented a singular appearance a few weeks since; one side being occupied by an apo thecary, and the other by an undertaker! This io a moment brings me to my end ; But gkis informs met shall never die." Wednesday afternoon, the 17th instant, a cormorant alighted on the top of the south-west turret of King's College Chapel, Cambridge, and being observed by the ehapersleik, he went up the opposite turret, and shot it. The bard instantly flew across the Mat ket. hill, when it leU.on a house, and was taken, but died in a abort •time. • ' .ef .• • , .. , 'z- s AMER ASSIZES. CHESTER, 41101.11T s 6. MURDER. Peer Minos, aged 21, was indicted for having, on the s:h April last, at Macclesfield, assaulted Samson Phillips, and thrust a red-hot poker into the lower part of his belly, and of the wound so caused the said Sam. son Phillips died on the 21st May following. The prisoner was also charged with the wilful murder of Samson Phillips under the Coroner's Inquest. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Mr. Hill) stated the case to the Jury. He observed that the prisoner at the bar had been indicted with one Francis Johnson, who had absconded, for the wilful murder of Samson Phillips. Although the indictment charged the offence. as mur der, he nevertheless thought it proper to state that, id point of law, it would amount to no more than man slaughter, but it w-uld be one of a most aggravated description. The Attorney-General here called the attention of the Jury to the law of manslaughter, and observed that the deceased resided at a place called the Dams, in Macclesfield, and two doors from him resided the prisoner at the bar and Johnson, who were both ishmen, lodging with one Peter Formby. On the morning of the sth of April the deceased heard a great noise in the street, and went out to see what was the occasion of it ; be found too people fighting, and at last became second to one of the parties. Soon after wards the prisoner at the bar appeared on the spot, and in a little while he and the deceased began fighting also. But here they were on equal terms. In the midst of the battle Johnson ran suddenly away from the crowd to Formby's house, knocked violently at the ,:o tr, demanded instant admittance, and when he was in the house he seized a poker, which was then red-hot, and rus'led out with it into the midst of the crowd. At this time the deceased was d ,wn on the floor, and Johnson putting the dreadful weapon into Morgan's hand, the latter tht ar=t it into the lo er part of the belly of the deceased, and from the wound so given his death followed. However, this having been done in the Meat e.f passion, would, in psoint of law, amount hi Morgan to manslaughter only. It would appear that the poor man lived . some days afterwards, and then died ; but the particulars as to the proximate cause of his death would be espla;ned by the surgeon. The great, and iltdeed the only, question of the case would be, whether the prisoner's was the hand %Illicit inflicted the wound ? Joseph Gregory examined—Witness said he kept the Union public-house, at the Dams, in Macclesfield. He was disturbed on the night of the sth' :of April, between twelve and one o'clock, and went out to see what was the matter, when he Saw two men, named Madden and Christopher, fighting. Afterwards the prisoner and Phillips began to fight, and soon eke r wards Johnson ran past witness, and went to the lodg ings kept by Formby ; he knocked volently at the door, calling out, e Open the door immediately, if you don't I'll break it down." The door was opened, and John son soon returned with a poker in his hand, which appeared to be red-hot. They were still fighting, and he ran amongst the crowd with it, and soon after , wards the witness. heard the moans of a man as if in great pain. Nothing particular was diem] on the cross-exami nation, further than that soon after he heard the scream, witness went to Johnson, and charged him with being the man who h id hurt the deceased, and next morning Johnson absconded. Witness described Johnson as being very much like the prisoner in all respects—his countenance only excepted. They had both sandy hair. The moon was about this time at the full, but the men fought under the shide of the houses. John Martin examined—All that he knew of the prisoner at the time of the battle was by his whiskers. He did not see Johnson do anything, but be saw the deceased on the ground, who endeavoured to get the poker out of the hands of the prisoner, but he could not, as it burnt his fingers in two places. The prisoner had the poker in his hands, and he stooped down as if he was prising (lifting) the deceased. He had no doubt but what the prisoner was the man, but he knew hip) only by his whiskers, which were sandy coloured. He had no doubt, on his oath, of the prisoner's identity. On his cross-examination he said great confusion prevailed, and there was much disturbance. George Wilder examined—Witness deposed, that he saw the parties fighting, and called out for fair play, whether they were English-or Irish. Motgan appeared to be in a great rage, and came up to witness and gave him a challenge. Phillips then came up and spoke to Morgan, when Francis Jo!inson sprung up and flew at Phillips. They then all went into the crowd. Witness then went to see what was going on in the crowd, and he perceived the deceased lying on his back, when Morgan wade two or three attempts to stab Sampson with something like a stick or poker. He saw the last witness attempt to take the weapon from Morgan. Mattin then challenged Johnson with having had the poker, but be denied it, and then he ran away. Wilder underwent a long and strict cross-examina tion from Mr. D. F. JONEA, but his eviJence was not in the slightest degree shaken. lie distinctly saw the prisoner make two or three thrusts at the deceased with the poker ; a smell then arose like that which proceeds from the burning of flesh, but he did not hear any fizz. Witness said he had no whatever against the Irish, nor had be ever said he had. Mr. John Fleet, surgeon, examined.—He was called in on the 6th of April, to see the deceased. He was in a very bad state : the scrotum was considerably swelled, and there was an oblique wound passing the left side of the scrotum, backwards, into the periteum; it was about an - inch in-depth, and the ciecomference might be more than an inch, surrounded by a whitish matter, originating from the instrument by which the wound was inflicted. It must have been inflicted with a heated instrument, such as a red hot•poker. Witness Intended him ti .1 he died. The wound undoubtedly was the cause of his death. On cross-examination he said, that the wound had produced death by affecting the constitution. The topical mischief was the exciting cause of the effect nhich produced death. He died from the extensive discharge of matter, which produced a constitutional effect from the exhaustion produced from the wound. Witness would always give a very guarded opinion of the consequences of a wound in the perinesm ; it might not necessarily produce death, but the pro bability was that it would. The perineum would offer , very little difficulty in permitting a poker hcated to pass into it. To a question by the Coust—lt certainly appeared that some forte had been toed; it appeared to have been done by a thrust. J ,ho Upton, the constable who took the prisoner into custody, was examined. He said he asked the de- ceased, when on his death bed, whether it was the prisoner who did it ? He appeared then to .be under t he apprehension of death. Deceased said be could not 1•••••- - • tell n had dole but 111 teliaved it L _iras not tne prisoner, becaua Int *al the inn be bad 'Fought with ; when the prisoner did, it sail a hard thing he should -he imprisoned siroagfillly for doing nothing. Witnets added, that, the prisoner had an opportsinity of es= raping from his custody, but did 11101. . . The ',darner, in his defence, said he was liniment of the fact charged against him. Joseph Walton and Alfred Maddock were called an his behalf, and positively swore that they sa c Johbson make thrusts at the deceased with the hot-poker, while I he was on the ground, and at this time also Morg.in was on the ground, apparently as . if he had ben knocked dawn. During the fight there were between 200 and 300 people present. Walton said he had been imprisoned at Knutsiord, on a suspicion of Stealing 41. from his master, but he was cleared. The Cr u ci Jubilee summed up the evidence at length to the Jury, commenting on the contradictory bearings of it, and obsei ring that it was probable the parties, from its being moonlight, and the flip having taken place is the shade of the houses, might have been mistaken in the identity of the prisoner's perrsn, he and Johnson being described as so nearly alike in stature and other particulars. If the Jury had any doubts on the subject of_ the prisoner's gulf, they would give him the benefit of them and acquit him. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Nut Guilty. NAVAL INTELLIGE.NCE.

This morning a most desperate and determined battle took place in the fields Ireyond White Conduit House, for a purse of ten sove reigns, between Joe Ward, well known at Sparring-dubs, and Harry Hughes, who has fought several very manly battles. The morning was extremely wet, but even this did not deter a very large number of persons from assembling to witness the contest. The battle lasted forty-seven minutes, in which twenty-five rounds were fought. in the sixth round, Ward's features were completely altered ; Hughes's nose was severed. and his *eft eye closed. The subsequent rounds were contested with reciprocal advantage, until the twenty-third, when Hughes seemed to have recovered his strength in some degree, and he let fly right and left, which told with tremendous effect on the heed and chest of Ward. The twenty-fourth round was somewhat in favour of Ward ; but in the last round Hughes doubled him up, and wen the battle. On the whole, a more determined battle was never fought. Both men were so severely punished. that they could net walk home without assistance. GREAT PERFORMANCE A match for 100 sovereigns was made at the close of Bahasa Races, on Friday evening, by a Gentleman of the name et Sey mour, for his Groom, Hamilton, to go on foot from the Course to L ondon-bridge, four miles on the London side of Reading, and return, a distance of 34 miles, in three .tours and fifty minutes.
