EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE AT TOBAGO. —.Mr. B. Wilson, of Tobago, preferred a complaint to the sitting Magistrates of the Island against Mr. Frederick Robin son, son of his Ezcelleticy Sir F. P. Robinson, and a person named Grant, in which he stated, that being in bed in his own house at midnight on the 18th of Fz bruary, he heard a knocking at his door, which he opened, and saw Mr. Robinson and Grant. - A dog ran into the house, which Mr. Wilson kicked. M. Robin son immediately said, " Kick my dog, Sir, kick me;" and seizing Mr. Wilson, threw him down, and while, struggling to release his stick from Mr. Wilson's grasp called out to his companion, - " Grant, give him the pis tol in the face." Grant immediately presented a pistol at Mr. Wilson. and di 'charged it, but a female, who had come to Mr. Wilson's assistance, turned it aside at the instant and prevented his receiving the contents. Grant then said, "Robinson, have you another ball?" to which Rubinson ans.vered, " Yes, lack in my pocket for it."— Grant then put his hand in the pocket, took out a ball, and reloaded the pistol. But apprehending, it is sup posed, the arrival of a neighbour Mr. Wilson's servant had gone to call to his assistance, they both fl d without firing tr second shot.

Tax C9AST OF AFRICA.— Wednesday, the transport ltic Merchant, Lieutenant Lester, agent, returned from Sierra Leone, ACIlt, Cape Coast, and Ascension ; left the last named place on the sth of April. The several stations on the coast of Africa were more healthy than usual. Accounts had re iched Cape Coast, of the death of Captain Pearce, R.N. and Dr. Morrison, the companions of that intrepid and hardy traveller, Capt. Clipperton, R.N. who has himself reached Soudon, 160 miles in the interior, [wally in lat. 8 north, and was then descending the north face of the 'Kong Mountains, on his way to Tirubuct' o. The surveying ships Liven (Captain Owen), and Baracouta, were proceeding on the survey of the Western Coast of Africa. The Leven had recently completed an examination of the Isles de Los —six in number, about 70 miles to the southward of Sierra Leone. These ships had tracked the whole coast from the Cape of Good Hope to the Gambia, but bad found but few anchoring-places not before known ; in deed, a harbour is hardly to be found on that coast. St. Paul's de Loando is a capacious and safe harbour, and is the site of a Portuguese settlement; in it were retract a Portuguese frigate, and 18 slave vessels, all reading in the most open manner, under the protection of a large castle, a fort of 64 guns, and several smaller batter es. The situation is about 10 south. The Leven and Bara couta were fired at in going in, as it is a custom et the port that all vessels should anchor outside the Oar, until her force and business are wholly known. At the close of a case on Thursday at the Mi !diesel Sessions, wherein something like perjury had been com mitted by a shoemaker, Mr. Adolphus said, he knew of perjury committed by 4.00 shoemakers at a Middlesex ; they met at the Magpie and Stump ; one went to vote, for an experiment, and finding he passed, re turned to the society, and said," D—n me, I've opened the ball, you may all get up and dance." This he himself proved in the Court of King's wench, and that they committed the perjury for 30s. a-piece. Mr. Phillips I said, he knew of a man who went to poll eight times I at the Drogheda election; seven times he succeeded by altering his dress and his gait, and actually on one occa• ion, shaved his head. On the eighth time, an elector said to him, " What, Dennis, are you come to vote again?" " Oh no," replied the other, "11 not vote any more ; for by J—s I'm tired of it." CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. G.—This was a case of assault sad batter alleged to have been committed by Mr. G. a small young Gentleman in blue steel spectacles, upon the person of Mr. D. a tall gallant son of Mars, recently returned from the Ashantee wars, with his liver a little touched, and a large mercurial cataplasm applied thereto. Mr. D. detailed his case at great length; and as be expressed a hope that "the blazonisera of it in the newspapers might be don; decently on account of his connections being very high," we sh ir endeavour to du s k as decently as possible, thoigh we cituak it quite so lengthily as Mr. 1). did. Mr. D. as we understood him, was lately a poor Lieutenant it a marching regiment, battling and broiling beneath a bunting sun on the Gold Coast of Africa, among those sanguinary stage f the Ashanrees ; but he is now, thou;h scarcely two-and-t.venty, a wealthy man; for having left the Gold Coast in consequence of being rather touched in the liver, as aforesaid, he came home to Old Ene,lan,l, and whilst waiting under the liver-relieving operation of the mercurial cataplasm ahove-niention. d, 112 golden luck in the last lottery, and thereupon he forsook the "ay - of hostile arms," and all that sort of thing, for the peaceful We.. sures of tbis very merry metropolis. Now it so happent,l, th at. on Thursday morning last, he pail a morning visit to a 11.!v in whose house he formerly lodged, and of course the conversa tion turned upon his very excellent luck in the lottery; but in the midst of It, in dropped this Mr. G. who was almost an entire stranger to Mr. D. bat who nevertheless,began questioning Mr. I). with a very Paul Pry-ish familiarity as to the precise number of the ticket by which he woo his prize, as though he doubted Mr. D declaration touching his luck in the lottery. Mr. D. did not like this incredulous familiarity, or familiar incredulity ; but thinking it would be extremely indecorous to resent it before the ladies, he replied, simply, that the ticket by which he won his prize was No. 17d3. "Oh !" said Mr. G. that cannot be, for I have b-en with Si vewright, and be assures me that no such number was sold!" Mr. 1). declared that if Sivewright said that, he said that which was net true. " Well, I'll bet you .£lO that that number was not sold.— said Mr. G. " Done!' said Mr. D. and taking nut his betting hook and a 101. note, he desired Mr. G. to do the same. " Oh! lam not prepared for that," said Mr. G. "Oh I thought so," said Mr. " and as I never bet without having the stakes deposited, I shall have nothing more to do with you, further than to relate a little anecdote to you. The other day, I met a Gentleman in the City, who asked me at which of the offices I purchased toy lucky ticket ? and I told him I bought it at Bibb's. Now, I never was in Bides olfice in the whole course of my life; but I made the Gentleman that answer, because I considered his question imper tinent." " Perhaps you think sae impertinent?" said Mr. G. " Oh! nu; not impertinent; but something a little like it," said Mr. D. " Then, if that's the case," said Mr. G. pulling off his coat in a great bustle," the sooner we settle k the better." " Oh! fie, Mr. G." said Mr. D. " not in that manner, if you please. Whenever I quarrel with a Gentleman, I settle it as a Gentleman ought to do —in a gentlemanly manner; and even it I were to meet you as a Gentleman, I should allow you to fire twice, and then shoot you!" But Mr. G. did not see the gentility of being shit, and cote. vetted into worms' meat, merely because he had been tasel with impertinence ; so, without paying any the slightest at tention to Mr. D.'s remonstrance, he went on with pulling off his coat; and as soon as he had got it off he threw it over the back of i chair, and made a straight forward poke at Mr. dumpling depot ; which straight forward poke Mr. I). dashed aide by a back-handed twist of his umbrella. Then Mr. G. having rubbed his wrist a little, to do away the sensation consequent on the back-handed twist aforesaid, made another and most furious poke at Mr. D.'s dumpling depot; and again Mr. D. dexterously dashed it aside by the aforesaid back-handed twist of his umbrella, which so enraged Mr. G. that 'he rushed upon Mr. D. with the intention of boring Min down as it were; but Mr. D. by turning suddenly to the left about, received the charge in the rear instead of in front, aid by a well timed retreat he came out of the action with no other damage than two good hard thumps on the back of his head ! This was the assault and battery complained of by Mr. D. and he con jured the Magistrate to hold Mr. G. to bail, and to make him give twenty-four hours' notice of bail—his conduct had been so very shameful; though had it not been for the mercurial cataplasm abovementioned, he would have given Mr. G. such a dressing, on the spot, as should have taught him much better manners fur the rest of his life. Mr. Alderman ANSLIT said he did not see any thing so very atrocious in Mr. G.'s conduct, as :o justify him in requiring notice of bail.—lt appeared to be a mere common assault. " A common assault, Sir!" said Mr. D. " I assure you, Sir, his conduct was excessively bad;—most outrageously shameful; and I am surprised you should denominate it a COMMOOI assault." Alr. Alderman ANSLRY explained that common assault was the technical phrase for an assault which had noting felonious in it ; and he then asked Mr. G. what he had to say in his defence? Mr. G. evidently a young man of few words, assured his Worship that he was utterly incapable of miaconducting himself in the man ner described by Mr. G. " Then you had better step aside and arrange your differences, without exposing yourseivio further," said the Alderman. " Impossible !--totally impossible !" exclaimed Mr. 1). " Quite out of the question !" gently ejaculated Mr. G. " Very well; then Mr. G. will put in bail for his appearance at the Sessions," said the Alderman; and to at very great chagrin of Mr. D. his Worship not only refused to require twenty-four hours' notice of bail, but consented to take one surety only, instead of two. BOW-STREET. Joseph Sweeny, a smartly-dressed young man, was charged with obtaining a quantity of silk stockings and ether goods, under false pretences, and by a forged letter, from Mr. Morgan, hosier, of No. 77, Strand. The prisoner, it seems, has been carrying on this traffic to a most alarming extent. He was examined under similar charges at the Mansion House, the Town Hall, and other Offices, but hitherto escaped punishment. This case, however, was very satis factorily made out, and his letter was proved a forgery. His career of fraud had been put a stop to by a !till committal for uial. HATTON-GARDEN. On Saturday, Senor Isaacs, the Dogserry of Saffron-hill watch house, a very important personage in his way, presented himself to the Alagistrates, and with atl due solemnity, observed, that on the preceding night, be had contprheaskl two persons carrying bundles, which, on examination, were lound to contain two fall court suits, stolen, as Isaacs naturally supposed, from some Nobleman. Wbibt this harangue was being made, the luckless wights were brought for ward by some half dozen of the Senor's satellites, together with the aforesaid bundle; and the culprits being placed at the bar, were charged on suspicion with being concerned in the supposed robbery. They gave their names as Peter Brava and James Herbert, and so far as appearances could speak, they, In good truth, were a, ill-looking a pair as ever stood at the bar of justice; their coun tenances showed that evident pains had been taken to effect con cealment. Brown, the taller of the two, had his eyebrows changed from their natural hue, a dusky red, to deep black, not by the ap plication of Prince's It ussian dye, but by the more simple expedient of a burned cork, which had also furnished a well-formed musta chio, now partially obliterated. The visage or his companion was less characteristic; but it still exhibited some traces of recent touches of chalk and ocre, so as to give it the expression of ashy paleness. They pleaded that they were play-actors of Royston-street theatre, and having brought a sister of Thalia to corroborate the plea, were discharged. QUEEN-SQUARE.
