Accounts from his Majesty's brig Plumper, Lieutenant Minium, e( Prince's Island, coast of Africa, dated the 14th of March, state that a dreadful mortality had taken place at St. Jago, Cape de Verd Islands: all the animals had died. A fortnight before the shove date, the Plumper spoke a vessel from St. Jago, who informed her the mortality continued without any intermission. The ships on the African station were very healthy, and the Plum. Err had not lost a man. The Marine Officer of the Eden had 4:4, and the Marine Officer of the North Star had joined the Filen. The Plumper has been surveyed, and found so very rotten ; it is supposed she must return immediately to England. The Sybills has been very lucky, having taken three fine vessels. A Vrtech squadron, under Commodore Vitalise de Jorzuss, in L'Aurora, wassoff Prince's Island with some prizes. The North &sr was iu the Bight of Benin, the Primrose had gone to Ascen sion, and the Sybilie, Commodore Cower., was cruising. The Clinker is with Governor LUSILTY, and report says the Plumper is to take Governor DENHAM to Sierra Leone. The squadron was healthy, and there were no recent promotions or appointments.... Dreenpert Theraphs. THE sOCIE 1 Y OF ARTS. Monday the annual distribution of the prizes awarded to the respective candidates by the above Society, took place at the Kthg's Theatre, in the Haymarket. A military band was placed on the stage, and occasionally enlivened the company by playing kftrat martial airs. The house was crowded to excess it. every part. At 12 o'clock, owing to the unavoidable absence of his Royal fighaess the Duke of Sn,sex, the Earl of RADNOR took the Chair. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the company on the very great eocouragement afforded by the Society to mechanics, artists, &c. A. Army, Esq. the Secretary, then read a report of the proceed tags of-the Society during the past.year.. The different medals and print were then di.trihuted. Among the candidates whose ►nven tioes were most peculiarly deserving of notice were the following— To Mr. L. Hebert, Queen.street, Chelsea, for his prepared pluadsago, to be used instead of oil for chronometers, the gold Isis medal. _ _ To Mr. T. Judge, New-end. Hampstead, for his self-adjusting pendulum, the large silver medal and £5. To Lieutenat.t .t.kerley, R.N. for his safety rods for ships' boats, the large silver medal. To W. H. Hood, Esq. for his floating-bridge to communicate be tween* ship and the shore, the large silver medal. To PJr. R. Mottershead, for his expanding piston for high pres ere stessn•engiuea, the large silver medal and ae2o. A Ira ri ery of other prizes were afterward* distributed, and the tmtpany then separated. MOSCOW. At Moscow no natives actin the capacity of apothe caries; this beings profession entirely confined to Ger mans. In order to prevent medicines being made up improperly, and mistakes on the part of the ignorant and eyeless, of which many fatal instances occur from time to time in England, particularly in giving oxalic acid for Epsem salts,s so soon as it is known that any medicine has been made up wrong, the shop where it was prepared is instantly shut up by the police. Every prescription received by an apothecary is retained' by him, and regularly entered in a book; and for greater security, a ticket is also given with the medicine, ad dressed to the person for whom it is intended, explaining the nature of it, the name of the physician, and also the preci>e time on which it was sent to the invalids. This is certainly c, ' very prudent and rational regulatiun; and theft can be no reason why similar measures of pre caution should not be adopted in our own country, or, indeed, enforced by a legislative enactment, as it would hive the effect of preventing both imposition and acci dents. Something worthy of imitation may always be found, even among those nations who are least of all to be copied generally ; and in other respects, any thing but models of conduct. Even the Turks ale to be commended for their humanity to animals, and might H 1 this respect cause many, who term themselves Chris !lam, to blush for their neglect of a virtue practised by nAdels.—Rae Wilson's Travels in Russia. t Perhaps the most perfect security against all danger might be Cxtined by the entire exclusion of this article from shops; or that it might not deceive the eye by its resemblance to sake, the acid should be kept in a state of solution; at ail events, the word " poi kw * might be printed, in place of written, on the attide. It is a tingtlar tact, that no accidents from oxalic acid occur on the Con tinent. i The ordinary fee to a physician is fen rubles, or Bs. 4d. sterling. Acre is ouly one English physician in this large capital. Great privacy is observed in dissecting dead bodies, whieb are generally obtained from hospitals, or those of slaves. So great, indeed, is the nation on this point, that an artist who applied for a atoll s as a wady, could not procure one. Letters from Berlin state, that the third corps of the Prussian army, stationed at Frankfort on the Oder, is going to march towards the Graad Duchy of Posen, to form a Corps of Observation. The Zephyr packet has arrived from Vera Cruz, bringing letters from the city of Mexico of the 96th March, and from Vera Cruz of the 3d April. The ac counts from the city of Mexico are very gloomy: no money is coming to pay the dividend. Ac Vera Cruz they are expecting Lammas squadron, which will be greeted by a stroag party there in favour of the Spa niards. According to accounts from Madrid, May 22. serious disturbances have taken place at Aadejar• between the Portuguese refugees and the inhabitants; the former hid fousteen or Ellteea men wounded, some of them' Mortally. I••••,,Emm.. DURHAM CITY ELECTION. Sir HENRY HARDINGR. the late Representative of Durham, arrived in that city on Monday morning, and took up his quarters at the Waterloo Hotel, in-Old Elvet. Some Freemen of Durham, resident in London, have soli cited Col. CHAITOR, of Wilton Castle,near Bishop A uck land, in the county of Durham, to stand forward to oppose Sir HENRY. RoexaT Ovlsurrorr. Esq. Mayor of the city of Durham, has fixed the election to take pl ice at the Town Hall on Monday next, the 9th inst. The best informed entertain no doubt of Sir HENRY'S success. VAUXHALL GARDENS. This delightful place of amusement was again open last night for the second time this season, and although the former part of the day proved unfavourable, and the proprietors could not well anticipate a very full or gay assemblage, yet, the after neon being more clear, the attendance was both numerou s and respectable. A new Vaudeville was introduced, which, for hu mour and effect, is decidedly superior to similar representations of former seasons ; it is certainly a pleasing little bit of fun and merriment, and the" Burlesque Italian Extravaganza , " introduced by Mr. T. Coors (of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane), called forth repeated burst, of laughter and applause from the auditory. A Miss KNIGHT was introduced as a first appearance—she pos sesses considerable sweetness of voice and good execution. — The other parts in the piece were respectably filled by Nlr. S. Bate um, Mr. W. H. WILLIAMS (under whose direction the piece has been " got up"), and Miss HELMS. The ballet was much in the style, and appeared to give equal delight, as former exhibitions of the kind. •The Concert from the Orchestra in the open Gardens boasts a stronger force than on former occasions ; and Master SMITH, pupil to Mr. Baomeneasx, sung the " Minstrel Boy" with much sweetness and effect; and with a young Lady, Miss COVIIIIET e aged only eleven years, sung a pretty little duet, written purposely for them by Mr. W. H. WILLIAMS, with much feeling, which displayed the talents of this very young aspirant for vocal fame very favourably, and gave considerable promise of future excellence. Several Dioramic Paint ings were conveniently dispersed in various parts of the ground, consisting of the Bridge of Rialto at Venice—Views on the Rhine —Sc. Petersburgh—Constantinople—Paris—and the Thames Tun neL The latter is a very excellent representation of this wonderful undertaking of human ingenuity and skill, and of British enterprise. Flying phantoms "winged their airy way" through "the spectre grove "—an exhibition conducted by die ingenious artist, Mr. CHILD —and the effect on canvass by that amusing instrument the Magic Lantern, consisting of a variety of " terrific and grotesque fi gures " passing rapidly backward and forward, produced, if not a " terrific," a very laughable effect. The fire works were more than usually grand and beautiful ; but a novel feature in this truly won derful branch of the amusements, was the introduction of an hydraulic exhibition, which represents an allegorical picture, com plimentary to the naval' superiority of the British nation. The play ing of the water works, blended with large bodies of fire, does certainly, as the bill expresses it, form a scene of beauty and mag nificence which has never been equalled in this, or probably any other country. The Military and Scotch Bands united their efforts t o prolong the festivities of the evening, and gave energy and ala crity to various groups,who seemed not disposed to quit the festive scene till Aurora summoned them to depart. REFORMS IN THE LAWS. ' It is satisfactory to hope that the fluctuations in our political hemisphere will present no obstacle to the pro gress of the Reforms in the Law, so anxiously looked forward to by the public. At no period were expecta tions more sanguinely entertained that something mast necessarily be done to adapt the administration of jus tice to the increasing population and wealth of the country. Whether the labours of the Law Commissions will ultimately satisfy those expectationv, is rather pre mature- to judge of at present. We may infer, how ever, from Mr. Peel's promise of a Report in a day or two, from the Common Law Commissioners, that those Gentlemen have at all events been on the alert in the , commencement of their duties. The Report will na turally be of a merely preliminary nature, and probably confined to a few matters of practice, on the expediency of remedying which no great difference of opinion exists. • There is one period of a suit when, we have often thought, a greater and more unnecessary delay exists than in any other part of its progress—we mean that between the delivery of the verdict by the Jury. and the day in the ensuing Term, when the plaintiff can obtain his judgment, get his costs taxed, and reap the benefit of his verdict. There may perhaps be persons unacquainted with the luxury of a law suit, who sup pose that the money is paid down in Court, or, at all events, that the plaintiff may make the defendant pay the damages as soon as be thinks fit. Far different, however, is the case. Not one of the plaintiffs who may be successful at the Assizes in the first week of next July, -can sign judgment, as it is termed, till the fifth day of Michaelmas Term, viz. the 10th of November. And amidst the great pressure of business before the Masters of the King's Bench, that man may consider himself fortunate who can get his costs taxed, and judgment recorded, before the Ist of December. Now, really, we do not see why the Masters (who, by the bye, are pretty handsomely paid,) should not be sitting to tax costs the whole year mound, so that the judgment might be obtained immediately after the trial of the cause. There should, of course, be exceptions in cases where the Judge at the trial might give leave for a motion to the Court above to set aside the verdict, and also where the defendant should announce his intention to move for a new trial. In the latter event, fraud, for the purpose of delay, might be prevented by compelling the defendant to enter into security that the money should be forthcoming to meet the future judgment of the Court, with interest from the date of the verdict.. Indeed, interest ought always to be given from that time, the money being, or ought to be, the property of the plaintiff. Arrangements on this subject might easily be made by the Commissioners ; we throw out these remarks from a conviction of the hardship and obvious injustice of the delays at present sanctioned by the practice of the Courts. • Lady TROLLOPZ entertained a distinguished party to dinner yesterday, at her house in Great Cumberland-place. The MASTER of the Rou.s had a grand dinner party yesterday, at his residence, Chancery-lane. The Countess of ARRAN had a card party yesterday evening, at her house in Dover-street. Earl GOWER entertained a large party to dinner yes terday, at his house in Hamilton-glace.

WILLIAM FITZHARDINGE BERKELEY (Colonel Berke ley) has presented a petition to his MAJESTY, claiming the Barony of Berkeley. That petition, by command of his MAJESTT, has been forwarded to the House of Lords, through the Earl of Snerres seat ; and their Lordships have directed it to be referred to a Committee of Privileges. _ _ _ _ - His Royal Highness the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL has been pleased to appoint K J.

Tuesday the funeral ceremonies of the late Reverend D. Mumma, High Priest of the Hebrews, were celebrated with mach solemnity. The body was removed at eleven o'clock, from his late residence in Mansell-street, in a hearse, which was followed by upwards of forty mourning coaches, in which were 'beheads of all the Jewish Synagogues, to the Portuguese Synagogue in Bevis Marks * where the children of the Orphan School chaunted an an them, and a suitable discootee was delivered by the offidating Priest. assisted by the Rev. S. Massenet'. The ceremonies having cencluded, the procession moved on to the burying-ground at Beth holin, oppueite the Hospital, in Mile.end, where the intertrent took place. TTLhee deceased was nearly eighty years old, and was highly respected. TURII•OUT AT KNARESIXOUGItrA serious difference has arisen between the flax dressers in Knaresbrough and their employers, which bas occasioned a partial, strike amongst the workmen, and from 70 to 100 of them have left the place in search of better wages elsewhere. rPPoi SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES. The races yesterday did not go off with that brilliancy which dis tinguished the first day, the company being less numerous, not so fashionable, and the weather, especially in the morning, unfavour able in the extreme; still the attendance was respectable. as im mense numbers have taken up their quarters for the week at Windsor and other neighbouring towns, and were enabled to get to the races without much exposure to the rain ; close carriages, great coats, and umbrellas were seen in every direction, marring the splendour of the scene, and throwing an additional damp on the amusements of the day. Towards the afternoon the weather became more favourable, and the Heath assumed a more animated look ; but, as we have already observed, the general effect was in. finitely less brilliant than on Tuesday. From the rain which fell in the morning, a doubt was entertained that. his Majesty would not honour the races with his presence, and much anxiety was mans. fested on the subject ; this apprehension turned out to be weU founded, for his Majesty did not visit the race course ; much chagrin was expressed by those who, in the fervour of their loyalty, had braved the inclemency of the weather for a sight of their Sovereign. In the absence of his Majesty, there were present their Graces the Dukes of Richmond and Dorset, Earl Verulam, Earl Jersey, Earl Mountcharles, Marquis of Cleveland, Earl of Strad broke, Lord C. Somerset, Lord G. Lennox, Lerd Lowther, Lord Sefton, and most of the other Nobles whose names we gave yester day. The course, in consequence of the rain, was very heavy, and in the lower parts slippy and dangerous. The various stakes were tolerably well contested, and were de cided in the following manner— The Swinley Stakes of 25 sovs. each, for three yr olds, Ist 416; four, Bst 101 b ; fillies allowed 31b.

Coronet took the load at starting, and kept it with strong 'gunning to the turn, when Zoe took it up and led till about 180 yards of home ; Brocard then came up, let loose, and beat Zoe in a canter.. The winner was rode by Conolly, oe by Lye, and Coronet by Pavis. Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, k ft, fot three yr old fillies, Bst 41b . New Mile.

Trample is a recent purchase from Lord Mount diaries. Throe paid b ft. The Albany Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h ft; for three yr olds; colts, Bst 71b; and fillies, Bst 31b. New mile.

This New Mile we take to be Cie hardest mile in England—even heavier than the trying Bunhury mile at Newmarket, and it is made still worse by the rain ; notwithstanding this, it was rattled over in very quick time. At the word, off went the Carbon filly at score, the others in a heap at her heels ; so she went over the hill, when Juryman came and took up the running, leading some distance ; Challenger they bad a lead, and kept it to the distance, when these fell into the rear, and Kildare went at once to the front, kept it, and won very cleverly by two lengths; rode by Robinson, Southcote by Goodison, Jour de Noces by Ar null, Challenger by Chaple, Juryman by G. Edwards, and Carbon by John Day. The following paid—Mr. Thornhill's Mariner, Mr. Greviite's Elinor, Lord Mountcharles's Blacklock colt, Duke of Grafron's Druid, Lord Verulant's Duke Humphrey, Mr. Radcliffe's f by Partisan, and Mr. Batson's Cecilia colt.

FIELD SPORTS FOR JUNE. FROM THE ANNALS OF SPORTING. Let not the Fox-hunter, the Courser, the Shooter, the follower of Harriers suppose that, merely because be cannot take the field, in pursuit of his severally favourite amusements, that there is no. thing new to occupy his attention, or awaken his interest; let him, rather, learn from us that this is the season when, by exertions ju- " dicionsly made, and observations scieniifically applied, he may, its great measure, provide for future exertion and future success. If the covert must not now be disturbed, nor the fields. green with the embryo harvest, be indented with the hoof of the courser's steed, still the economy of the kennel, the management of the stable, the comfort of the bretding.rooms, the preservation of the young game from the desperate poacher and the insidious vermin, the ensuring a supply of loxes, these and other attentions will have a prospective good, and may well and judiciously employ a portion of the sportsman's hours, and, during his interregnum of quiet, as it were, prevent them frcm becoming " Weary, stale, flat, and un profitable."—Yet is June a month when many a pleasant pastime is most seasonably to be enjoyed.

' Two other Ambassadors have been appointed, one to London, and the other to Vienna; but they waited for the Falmouth packet, which would leave Lidosn on Saturday last, the 31st. Previous to the sailing of the Duke of York. tam twits filled w th Po tuguese police soldiers, took up their sta tion, one on each side ot the MEAM•boat, and examined all passengers that approached it; on perceiving which Captain SARTORIOUS, of the Pyramus frigate, sent two boats, armed with marine., to protect the British pas sengers as they quitted thealiore for the steam boat; when, on seeing•this, they ceased the examination, with, the exception ot two or three police officers who were on board the steam yes el, who inquired and saw that ' no Poi tuguese quitted without passports. When the Duke of York first arrived at Lisbon, from Gibraltar and .Cadiz, Captain OWEN signed an obligation that no passenger should go on shore. • AN IMPOSTOR —A fellow who gees about the streets endeavouring to excite compassion by eating raw cab bages, to induce people to believe char he is starving. was yesterday bought before the Magiqrate at Union Hall. That morning he was observed.to pick up the head of a mackarel that was lying in the kennel, with the blood of which he smeared his mouth, so as to in. duce people to think that Le had bate :Bowed it. Many • persons, from this circumra ice, gave him money; and when the officer who apprehended him made his ap pearance, he endeavoured to escape; and on examining h s pockets, the head of the 6,h which he was supposed to have devoured was found therein. He was committed for three months to Brixton. CAUTION TO PARENTS IN HUSIBLE LIFE--On Mon day an inquest was taken at Headington (Own), before Mr. CECIL, Coroner, on the body of John Burrows, an • infant five days old. Elizabeth Lambourn, aunt cf the deceased, deposed that on Thursel,y, the 29th ult. in • consequence of the child being disordered in its bowels, she poured out ot a bottle producel, half a tea spoonful of syrup of poppies, which was administered to it by another witness; shortly aferwards the - child was'taken very ill, and turned black in his face and hands, and on the lollowing morning died. Witness procured the stuff of a horse doctor's a ife a fortnight previously for her own child ; there was no label on the bottle, and no directions were given when it was sold.' No medical person attended the child. The horse doctor deposed that he made the syrup agreeably to directions in Bu• chan's Domestic Medicine, 2.5 drops of laudhaiuin to one ounce of syrup; he never gave it 7 . 6 a child so young; does-not know whether half a tea spoonful would occa sion the death of that child. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict that" the infant died in consequence of having too large a quantity of syrup of poppies administered by an ignorant, person, without .any intention of doing harm.
