i • Eilit:DPlßtiv TO THE NIG ell. We are happy to annonnce the arrivsl in England of Major Denham and Lieutenant Claprerton, who left this country in the year 1821, on an exploratory jou- ney into the interi sr of Central Africa, connected u ids the ascertaining the source, course, and termination of the river Niger, which has been an object of geographical, research more than two thousand years. Mungo Palk threw a more full and decisive light on this subject than ever had been made to appear during this long period; after penetrating through a variety of the king doms of Western and Interior Africa, he came at length to Sego, the capital of Bansbarra, where he beheld 4. the fang-'ought majestic Niger, glittering to the morn iog sun, as broad as the Thames at Westminver, and fl swing slowly to the eastward." He then trace! its coarse downwards to Silla, and upwards to Bammakoo, (about a thoto.and miles) where it first became naviga ble to an extent of three hundred miles. This, how ever, appeared to be only a commencement of this mighty stream, leaving its subsequent progress in volved in lucre tsing mystery. Jackson, Hornemann,' Tuckey, Bowditch, R.tchie, Lyon, Laing, and now Den ham and Clapperton, have all since, by their persevering efforts, contributed to our Frevions mass of information, respecting the most celebrated of African streams. ' We understand that Major Dmsham and Mr. Clapper ton have ascertained with great certainty, that Lake Tyad is a great. fresh-water. Lake, having no outlet, and that it is fed by two large Rivers, one of which, the Shary, flaws from the same chain of mountains in which the western branch of the Nile (otherwise the White Nile) takes its rho. The Shary tuns in a direc tion nearly due North ftotn its solo ce to the Lake; whilst it is ascertained that the other river, called the Yao, enters the lake on its N.N.W. side. flowing from the westward ; hut k is not a continuatioo of the Job bar, or river of Timbuctoo. These travellers confirm the account of the Malsornedan Priest, that between Cana and Nyfe, there is no river-communication.-- Cam is in lat. 13 N. 10ng.9 E. and Succatoo, which our adventurers subsequently visited, is in 12 N. 5 E. This town is the capital of a great nation, of which we appear to have had no previous information, though the King of the country (whose name is Bello) was much pleased with the appearance of our countrymen, and, to their surprise, they saw his house was furnished with English crockety, which. it appeased, he had obtained in the way of traffic, with the inhabitants of the Bight of Benin. He expressed a hope, that a mode would be found-in which his subjects could trade with the Eng lish. His country appeased very productive, and abounded with cattle. Is further appears, by the infor mation collected by Mtssrs. Denham and Clapperton, that the Timbuctoo river runs S. E. to Nyffe, then southerly, and empties itself into the Bight of Benin, which ascertained fact is of much importance, as it opens a communication with the Atlantic, and will greatly facilitate the object intended to be pursued by Maj sr Laing, in the course of the ensuing winter or the nest spring. Whilst crossing the Desert our travellers were mach distressed for provisions, yet they have hap pily arrived home in tolerable health, having suffered less from the climate than any of their predecessors in this arduous enterprise. They were everywhere well received by 'the natives, who made them various pre sents,. which are on their way to England from Malta. Among thens are five live ostriches, and a beautiful lirieseflflr King, presented to him by one of the , , ibu native ClIneCS. The illonileur states. that the Duke of Noarnust- BaRLAND, Prince ESTEARAZY, and M. de WOLIONSZI, were particularly distinguished at the Coronation for the richness of their dresses, their decorations, and the brilliant diamonds on their breasts. The tunnel under the Thames is rapidly proceeding. Monday, an innkeeper. of Leeds was convicted in the mitigated penalty of one hundred pounds, for having deleterious drugs in his possession. - COMBINATION AMONG THa Caneattrms.—Friday General ,Meeting of the Journeymen Carpenters was held at the Yarrkshire Sting°, in the New-road, for the purpose of adopting certain Resolutions relative to the present state of their wages; when Mr. Iticuaaps was called to the Chair—after which several Resolutions were unanimously adopted. The speakers complained of .the inadequacy of their wages, and demanded an advance of 6d. per day. Thep were nearly 4,060 pre sent, who were unanimous in their refusal to resume their labour till their demand was complied with. • The Annual Meeting of the National Society for the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Esta blished Church,° was held on Friday, at the Society's Room, Lincoln's Inn Fields; the Archbishop of Cam. TEUBURY in the Chair; supported by the Bishopsof LON DON, LLANDAVII,DOWN atidCoantoa,CnicuesTza,Cits iest,Oxeoao, and GLOUCLSTIA, Lord RINVOII,&C. The business commenced by the Secretary (Dr.War.ststte) reading the report, which stated that the collections hi therto enade,in consequence of the King's let ter,amounted to 28.280/. that the number of schools connected with the institution amounted to 2,095; and the number of per sons eiucatrd at th-se schools was 956.000, being an increase of 2,000 on the whole since the last report. The Treasurer, •Mr. WATSON, having read his report, stated that the clear balance nqw in his hands was .16,0001. The Archbishop of CANTILABUAY, in moving, that the Report be printed, 'said that this was the 14th Report since the commencement of the institution. He observed' that schools increased as churches in creased ; that without schools churches would not be 'filled, and without churches schools would not avail. Gener TOORNYON, Lord ILINYON, and the Bishops of CHESTER, LONDON,` and LLANDAY/ addressed the meeting; after which thanks were vot ed to the Chair man, and the meeting separated. Tuesday, William Mokris, of Stretham,i was com mitted to Ely Gaol. beink charged with killing Ann -Phillips, the wife ofJOhn Phillips, Of that parish, baker. ,leappeared that on Wednesday, the 25th ult. the de, •ceakkd was standing in the public street at Strethaus, reliving a crowd of persons assembled to-witness a fight, and that the prisoner rode a . horse on the d ;t i tt,' gallop into thp midst of the populace, and that as the' deceased was endeavouting to save a child that stood' in the way, from being rode over, the horse ran against " • and •• her the ground ; next day. ,:ere'proceed an, owing to their Loudon-bridge.; the ' by the eoncission ie waSermen,wbo ,easistonce, but ,;.the third met irmsee, be lived 4,16 th year. • 14LEE1'EW OF. CIiTAMBERS AND SUN'S CREDITORS , 1 - s • . •• • Saturday, a Meeting of the Creditors of Meters. Chambers and Son, Bankers, of B :11J-street, was held in the King's Concert Room, Italian Opera Hous!—Mr. Calcraft, M.P. in the Chair. The Nleeting had been convene" by a number of the Creditors, in consequence of Mr. Chambers having prevented t!.e sale of his estates Is , isig effected, after they had been twice advertised, and after he had given his consent to the • Comrnivee, for tie sale to take place, by rhich delay the Creditors were prevented from receiving a dividetid. . A good deal of discussion took place, and it appeared that Mr. Chattb rs had acted in opposition to the wishes of the Committee. He a signed as a reason, that the Committee had refused to give his son a release, which was the basis upon which he executed a deed, in which he'cravenanted on their granting him a Letter sof License to empower them to sell h s proper y, and make it aval able to the Cieditins. A motion was cat tied, unani mausll, censuring Mr. Chambers for his opposition to the Committee, as inimical to the interests of the Cie. ditors; and another motion put and carried,. ex pressing- the opinion of the Meeting that the Letter of, License should be revoked, and a Commission of Bank.' rnptcy issue; but leaving it to the discret . on of the Committee to det Thanks were voted to those who called the Meeting, and to .he Chairman. A Creditor wished to beiinformed by the Committee, what was the state of ilr.Chambers's accounts at the time the Bank stopped ? One of the Committee replied that his private account was over drawn .C 71,000. Accounts from Gibraltar to the 13th ult. state that licenses for the introduction of British manufacture; ' had arrived Rom Madrid ; the merchants were in con sequence in great spirits, as they anticipa'ed x general relaxation of the prohibitory laws of Spain. The black Admiral, who had charge of the bodies of the late King and Queen of the SanJ%ich Islands, died, on the voyage of the small-pox. The Admiral's body WAS preserved until they reached the Stn I wichJslands ; but the Rulers refused to allow it to be taken on shore ; it was therefore committed to the deep with the cus tomary formalities. The Committee f&r the Relief of the Spanish Refu gees, on Thursday, presented General MINA, at Ply mouth, with a valuable sword,. in testimony of his noble and gallant conduct. LONDON LITERARY INSTITUTIOIC—Friday evening, a Meeting was held at the London Coffee•house, for the purpose of forming an Institution, tinder the ahnve title, for clerks and others in the middling classes.of society,similar to thetdechanics' Institutemten Esq. M.P. was called to the cfrAir, who in an elegant' speech explained to the Meeting the objects of the In-' sutution. After which several Resolutions were pro posed, and the company addressed by several Gentle-I men in a very eloquent style; and a Society agreed tol be established, to which the major part of the company entered their names as subscribers. IsrAaT SCIIOOL Assocravxma.—Saturday, the first Anniversary Meeting of this Institution took place at the Freemasons Tavern; the Marquis of LANSDoWN in the Chair. The object of this Institution is for the Education of the Infants of The Poor, and the Report stated, that the utmost success had hitherto accompa nied those efforts, and that the receipts of last year were 1521.1. Resolutions for furthering the interests of the Society were passed, and the meeting separated. Devil's Tam—There is a nee which they call the Devil's Tree, growing in America; its fruit, in a state of maturity, is elastic, and when dried by the heft of the sun, noisily splits, and bursts forth its grains. To this sport of nature the tree owes its name, for et4he moment of burstiax, the effect of a piece of artillery is produced, the noise of which succeeds rapidly, and is heard tolerably far off. •If its fruit be transplanted before it is ripe, to a dry place, or exposed on a chim ney-piece to a gentle beat, it will have the same effect, and produce the same phenomenon. There is now in the garden at the English Academy in Kilkenny, a similer natural curiosity. A twig of sixteen or eighteen inches in length, had been indis eriminately picked up, list autumn, and thrust into the earth for the purpose of sustaining a ,carnation. It proves to bare been a lopping from. an apple tree; and though net thicker than a pipe shank, is now in full blostom, and likely to bear fruit.--Quere. From this :operation of nature, is it possible to propagate fruit trees without the labour and uncertainty of grafting ? TIUIOIIG, MATIS.--SINGULAII IDIOTCe —A few days 'ago a little girl, six years old, suddenly disappeared from biome; 'the most scrutinizing researches were made in the neighbourhood without success.. The unhappy parents, at the expiration of two days, offered a reward of 25 florins to any person who could give them infor mation respecting their lost child. A youth, 16 years ,of age, known by the name of the silly Stepherd (he had received this appellation from the general belief that he was an idiot), presented himself to the parents, and assured them that he knew where the child was to be found; they followed him to a common about half a mile distant from their habitation ; the idiot pointed to a hillock, designating it as the spot where the lost child was concealed. The distracted father tore away the fresh earth, and be saw the feet of a human being ; it was carefully removed from the grave, and the wretched parents beheld their child deprived of life. Tbe fol lowing ate the only particulars that have hitherto been collected respecting this mysterious and dreadful event The young shepherd, whose natural imbecility of mind prevented him from being employed in any other oc• cupation than intending a few sheep, had been ordered by his master to remain on the common:till the even lug; at about four o'clock hr the afternoon several chil dren came to this place, and the shepherd joining them in their infer ile amusements, it Was at length proposed to play at what they called a funeral. One of the chil dren was to personify the departed individual ; the shepherd was to hate the twofold occupation of cler gyman and sexton, and the others were to be mourners. The idiot dug a hole four feet and a half in depth, and very narrow. They seized the unfortunate little girl, and having placed her, notwithstanding her cries, in the grave, with her bead downwards, they all ran away, went to their respective homes, and thought no more about the poor child. The shepherd remained, filled up the hole with earth, and then returned to his dwel ling. This dreadful occurrence has caused the greatest sensation in this neighbourhood. The young shepherd has been sent to prison in Bois k•Duc ; I.e has under gone several examinations, but *ll the investigations only tend to' prove that lie is unable to distrirenare be tween right and wrong. Three children of ti e ages of nine, eight, and seven, have alsl been examined ; they 'were of the party, but thought, natura ly enough, that the shepherd would not leave the poor liu'e girl in the grine.-:artisses, Paper. - her with great violence and threw her to tt she was taken up senseless, and died the nex • • ,Friday morning, dm; young .filen wer Mg in a small sallinsligat down the River, when, unskilfulness, they ran foul or a; wilier below Ltmallot cuseequenee was that the boat was staved v and by lb the party were precipitated into the Myer.

This dry an exceptive allegation to the evidence of another of her witnesses, Miss Frances Elizabeth Wood, was tendered in behalf of the Marquis. The ground of exception was, that this young Lady had, in her answer to interrogatories, ,stated, that she did not recollect he., ing, in the year 1818, at a ball given by Lady Robinson; at her mansion in Albemarle-street ; nor did she recol• lect having ever said " that the Marchioness was endea vouring to get all she could from her husband by bul lying him.' In contradiction to this part of her testi mony. it was prayed that the Court would permit Daniel Giles, Esq. to be examined. Dr. Lusurrwrox, in reply. argued that, admitting this young Lady to be in error as respected these points, still it was more probable that it arose from a lapse of memory than from any intention to commit the serious offence of deliberate perjury. He did not perceive that there was anything so very peculiar in a . young Lady's going to a ball, as to cause.her to re tain a rec )11ection of the circumstance three years af terwards ; and it was still more improbable that a con volution taking place there should be impressed on the mind. He had not been at a ball for twen , y years past, hut from what he could recollect it was a scene of gaie:y and confusion, in . which the whirl of the dance, the play o: the music, the glitter and glare on all sides, and the multiplicity of remirks and compliments, were well calculated to prevent any mere cursory observa tion from making a deep impression on a young La.iy's memory ; the more especially when, as in the present case, it occurred in a conversation with an elderly Gentleman. Sir C. Ilosnosoat thought himself bound to admit the exceptive allegation, and permit evidence to be taken in support thereof. The question of its importance; as weighing against this young Lady's testimony, be should leave to be discussed at a more mature stage of the proceedings. SLANDZR.....RICHARDS V. CLARKS. The parties are sisters-in-law, resident at Padding- ton, and it appears, the defendant having a suspicion vtlrat her husband maintained an improper intimacy with the plaintiff, applied to her a variety of coarse expressions, imputing to her the offence in questi ,, n. For these words the present suit was instituted.—No defence was attempted. The Court sentenced the defendant to perform penance in Paddington Church, on the 12th inst. and to pay the costs of this snit. - DAVIS V. DAVIS. Ibis was °righter , / a suit for restitution of conjugal rights, brought by Mrs. Davis against her husband, a tavern keeper. He subsequently gave is an allegation, charging her with the cummlasioa of adultery with a man of the name of Rae; and to this she re plied, by now bringing in a responsive plea, alleging, as spina Mr. Davis, various acts of cruelty, in bar of the remedy of separation prayed for by him. After hearing the arguments of Counsel on either side, The Coin:, upon the principle that cruelty is no bar to a suit by reason of adultery, unlrs, perhaps, on a case extremely special in aU iu circumstances, rejected the allegation now offered on the part of the wife. The principal cause stands over. South American commerce has gone on progressing during the three years that it has freely existed, in the proportion of 92, 43, 58. What a demonstration of the advantages of freedom, and free trade ! The Gazette of Darmstadt contains a Decree, pro hibiting the Clergy from interfering with the agree ! menus made between parents of adverse creeds, respect tog the religious education to be given to their children, and from endeavouring to convert them to a dif ferent faith. Mr. O'CoNam.r. has been honoured with what, no doubt, he at least considers as a triumphal entry into Dublin. He was in an open carriage, with Mrs. and the Misses O'Coristscc, and Master O'Clmstatc, about eight or nine years old,, on a pony, with a servant in livery behind him. Mr. FIT;10110/1 was mounted on the dicky of Mr. O'Coutizsz's carriage, which was preceded by h cavalcade, and followed by coaches aid jaunting-cars. When Mr. O'Comsat.c arrived at hie house in Merrion-square, headdressed the crowd from the balcony, telling them he bad carried their griev ances to the British Parliament, and they bad not been redressed. He talked of pitying the man who could trot love such a people and such a country, and of despising the man who would not die for her. Having got diem to give huzzas for the " King," and " Old Ireland," he counselled them to retire in good humour, and the multitude quietly dispersed. SAGS TLl.—The Dutch collect vast quantities of' sage, both in Holland and in the South of France, which they dry and curl so as to resemble tea, and ex port it to China, where they receive four pounds of tea for one pound of sage. If a similar trade could be instituted in Great Britain, the employment given to the poor would be very considerable. Among the Constitutional Spaniards who bave taken refuge at Brussels, a distinguished tragic author is mentioned, who is said to be commissioned to orga• size a National Theatre in the capital of Mexico. Paw/ THAT A MAN CAN IC MIS OWN,GRANDIATHRft. —There was a widow and her daughter-in-law - and a man and his son. The widow married the son, and the daughter the old man.
