PORTSMOUTH; DEC. 9, PROM Tin HAMPSHIRt TRLRGRAPR. Mon.* the Brazen, 28, Captain George Willes, re turned from the Coat of Africa, whither she conveyed,' i n October 1825, Captains Clapperton and Pearce, R.N. and Drs. Morrison and Dickson, on the• Mission of Discovery into the Interior of Africa. We have been some time ',donne t .ot • the lamented death of Captain Pearce and Or. Morrison, and of the arrival of 'Calitain Clappertr.n at Katunga or Hin (;he capital of l'rribo), on the lst of March, and of Dr. Dickson at Share When the B. azen left the Blight of Benin, these were rill the latest accounts which had reached the Coast, of the sur iriving travellers; but there are some circumstances te- 4.s.atedby our Correspondent (an Officer of the Brawn.), 'attending the progress of the Mission, which have not - yet been published, and which we deem of sufficient interest to justify our insertion of his entire narrative : _ 44 WHYDAII, OCTOZZR. :5,1826. . _ _ it Mr. James, who, with de Susa, accompanied Mr. -Dickson as far as Abomy, the capital of Dahomy, re• turned to Whydah, and reported that their reception by the King and people was most flattering and kind, and that this intrepid traveller, having recovered from a severe attack of fever, proceeded in high spirits and sanguine hopes, with an escort of 100 men, provided by his sable Majesty, on the 31st December last, for Shar—the extreme of these dominions to the North wa?d, and about twenty days' journey, where he Would have to make new friends, and gain other protection, as this Monarch's authority extends no further. And as the highest opinion is entertained of the resource s of Mr. Dickson's active mind, we feel assured that the enterprise will be well managed, and that, al though this circumstance may retard and fetter him considerably, yet eventually his mission will be suc cessful. We have heard that meeting with some obstacles on his road to proceeding, he resorted to a stratagem to get on, and gave out that he was going to make a grand fetish (or charm or mirtacle). He accordingly hada fowl lc , lled, and then, in the face of numerous spectators, applied his galvanic battery to it; of their seeing the animal, as it were, suddenly re. stored to life, by opening its eyes and fluttering about, they all became astonished and amazed, and had no lo , ger any inclination to detain him ; but the question WAS instantly raised, who should accompany this extra ordinaiy white man as his carriers, &c. However, this was amicably arranged, and he departed much satisfied with his success, bot for which he might have suffered considerable inconvenience from further detention.-- Columbus, the interpreter, who was to have accompa nied Capt tin Clapperton, but who was left on board the Brazen sick, has since been landed here, and is now with Mr. Dickson. "On thy. 11th of January, in running through Badagry Roads, we heard of the death of Dr. Morrison and his servants, who had, in company with Captains Clap pert.:n and .Pearce, proceeded some little distance from Jeno (in the kingdom of Hio, called by the Houssa people Yarribo, and about sixty miles horn Badagry), when they were seized with the fever, and in attempt ing to return to the ship, only reached that place again, where they unfortunately added fresh victims to the cause of African exploration. The heads of the mission were proceeding on to Katunga, thirty•three days' journey from Jeno, and about six hund r ed mil es from the Coalt. On the 28th January; at the same Road stead, we were destined to hear the melancholy intelli gence of the death of Captain Pearce, who died at Angus, on the 27th of December. This was more than se were prepared for, and it shed a gloom over our little circle that will be long felt, as his urbanity of manners and gentlemanly deportment had endeared him to us all. He was a high-spirited, talented young man, possessing qualifications essential to the enterprise in which he had embarked, being an excellent limner and draftsman, and had an aptitude in picking up languages that would have been of high importance to the mission,-and de sirable in a scientific point of view; added to which, Iris zeal was of the first character. He has left a dear and very near relative to lament his irreparable loss, who was solely dependent on him for support. It is therefore hoped that our good and beneficent Go vernment will not suffer this deserving object to feel, in addition to other heavy asictions, the mi sery of penury and want. The last sad obsequies were performed by Captain Clapperton, to the re mains of his lamented friend and companion ; and, if we stop to reflect, what must have been his feelings on the he.stt.rending and distressing occasion—separated from the civilized world—standing almost alone, with difficulties of no common nature still to encounter—his companions thus falling fast around him, and in total ignorance of the fate of the only remaining one, whom he had dispatched through the kingdom of Dahomy —were pungent thoughts, 'enough to appal the stoutest heart ; but Captain Clapperton is a man of no ordinary. description—he had undertaken an important mission, the accomplishment of which was nearest his heart, and paramount to all other considerations, and, deeply as• he deplored the loss of his friend, he hesitated not in pursuing his object, and had arrived in the mountains of Cong, where the thermometer had been at 88 and SO, and as high as 98, with fine weather, and a clear at mosphet e. 4 , Captain Clapperton has spoken in the highest terms of the conduct and services rendered by Mr. Houston (who has since died of fatigue and dysentery ai Accra), who, contrary to expectation in the first instance, ac- companied him to Katunga or Ito, the capital of Yrirribo, where he (Captain Clapperton) was on the Ist March, with the thermometer at 100, having remained there beady a month. He was to prosecute his journey in a few days for Yuurie, where, it is. believed, poor Mungo Pat k was kill e d. It is devoutly hoped that this may pot be Clappertcni's fate, but that he may be the instrument, in the hands of PROVIDENCE, of accom plishing those objects so ardently desired by philoso phers and philanthropists. When Mr. Houston left him, he was well in health, and in high spirits, and great hopes have since been entertained that Mr. Dickson would join him in a very short time, as we Ilea:- he had arrived at, and left Sitar, by the afore mentioned stratagem. Whether this desirable end has been attained is net, however, yet known, the foregoing being all the information we have received of the move mews of either party, nor have gained any intelligence of the proceedings of Major Laing. The three travellers are making for Ott same point." • We learn by the Brazen of a gallant, decisive, and successful defence made by a priz: vessel, commanded by Mr. R. B. Crawford, Admiralty Mate of the Esk, carrying one gun, against a piratical vessel, of ten guns, which she beat off after two hours' severe contest. It is due to the admirable conduct of Mr. Crawford, that the leading circumstances should be known. It appears that the Esk captured off Prince's Island, - the Brazilian „ vessel Neptnno, of 75' tons,' hiving ninety-two slaves on board, into which Mr. Crawford was.pnt with s;e men to take her - to Sierra Leone. -On the passage thither the Neptnno fell in with a piratical vessel, called the Carolina, under French colours, mounting 10 gun which bore down app .rently confident Of making .46 easy prize of her. When wi-hin abour'so yards, the pirate lowered a hoar down, with an Officer and four men, which proceeded alongside the Neptuno; thefintended to go on board, not expecting, from the comparative size of the vessels, to meet with-any refusal.• Mr. Crawford dared them to come up the vessel's side. The piratical Captain (who said he was a Spaniard) ordered Mr. Crawford into his boat, and his men to board. Mr. C. who never for a moment thought of giving up his charge, instantly armed him self with a pair of pistols, fired into the pirate's boat, killed the Captain and the bowman, and made the re mainder of the boat's crew jump overboard ; the men, however, by holding on to the gunwale, - regained their boat, and pulled to the piratical vessel, which had corn• menced a fire upon the Nepturio with five guns. The Neptuno had only one six-pounder, the fire of which was so briskly kept up with round shot and canister, at a distance of from 30 to 50 yards, that after two hours fight, the pirate hauled off, when the Neptuno had only four cartridges left! Mr. Crawford reached Sierra Leone in safety with his vessel, but with considerable da mage. The Neptuno's slaves, 92 in number, were below during the contest, and luckily escaped wi t h on l y one woman killed and a girl wounded. The pirate was pierced for twenty guns, had ten mounted, and, from the confusion that prevailed, was no doubt laden with sieves. The gallantry, steadiness, perseverance, decision, fidelity, and devotion to his duty of Mr. Crawford (who was wounded in the head and hand), entitles him to all the patronage that can be suitably bestowed upon him. It further appears that the prizes on the Coast of Africa had been before frequently boarded, insulted, and on one occasion (the Isabella, detained by the Redwing), actually captured by this piratical vessel. The Royal George, of 120 guns, building at Chatham, is ordered to be finished with all possible speed, that a two-decked ship, which is to carry 100 guns, may be laid down on the same slip. This vessel (being of a new class) will carry 18 guns on a side, on the lower and main decks, and 14 on a side on the quarter deck and forecastle -38 or 42 pounders. The Waterloo, of 120 guns, building, is directed to have a foot more beam than the'Regent,of the same rate, has; and the Royal George, to effect the same increase, ordered to have her bends taken off, and - to be replaced with plank six inches .thicker. In another ship this object has been attained by adding nine inches un each side to the thickness of the frame timbers, before the outside planking was put on, by which the breadth was effected, but it gave no advantage of space in the lower decks, which could only have been attained by originally laying the ship down on a greater necessary breadth of beam. The Barham, 74 (called in the Navy one of the Forty Thieves), has been cut down to a frigate, arid mounts 32 pounders, long guns ; but it is.discovered that the construction of her stern will prevent her from firing a stern chaser-- some of the timber not allowing the long guns to be run out sufficiently. WINTER. ASSIZES. --www•-. HERTFORD:- The winter gaol delivery for this county ended late on Friday evening. Several capital convictions took place; but the only culprits lett for execution were— James Fieid,-convicted i f shootingat, and wounding his wife; Daniel Woodward, convicted* of a diabolical offence upon a poor boy in the Watford poorhouse; and John Treadgold, convicted ot horse stealing. The circumstances ot this last-mentioned case were as fol low : The prisoner was first indicted with William Free man, the former for stealing, and the latter for receiving a horse, the property of Benjamin Russell, of Prince thorp, in the county of Warwick. A link in the chain of evidence being wanting, this indictment failed.— Treadgold was then indicted alone, for stealing, at Hemel Hempstead, on the 10th of August, a mare, the property of Mr. John -Cornborough, of Grandho rough, in the county of Warwick. It appeased in evidence, that in the night of the Bth of August, the prosecutor lost his mare out of a field in his occupation at Grandborough. In the afternoon of the 10th, the prisoner brought the - mare to an inn at Hemel Hempstead; in a. jaded condition.. The appear. ance of the animal exciting suspicion, the prisoner was asked by a farmer in the tap-room how he-had pissessed himself of it? and he replied that he had purchased it at Northampton fair on the sth of August. Other questions were put to him, which being answered in a k prevaricating manner, a constable was sent kr, and he was taken before a Magistrate, but discharged on the 17th, no person having then come forward to claim the mare. On the 224 of August, Mr. Cornbotough ap peared_ and •claimed the animal as his property, and upon his information the prisoner war again appre hended, and committed for trial. In his defence the prisoner said he had purchased the spare of an unknown person at Northausptoti filr. Several witnesses were called, who gave him a goad character. The Jury found him Guilty; and there being reason to believe that he was implicated in other similar rob beries, the Learned Judge (Mr. Justice Bayley) told him be must prepare to undergo the sentence of the•law, A few days ago the Falmouth mail-coach was over turned soon after leaving Exeter, and one passenger very severely hurt. The Virginia Waters, near Windsor, ate now so much out, that the coaches passing along the roads to the west of England, have some difficulty in getting along. The waters are also out further down on the western road. Within the last few days there have been considerable speculations in shares in various Joint Stock Companies ! Last week, Mr. French, fishmonger, of Chelmsford, exhibited in his shop an eel of the extraordinary weight of 721 b. It measured seven feet one inch in length, and the girth round thn. thickest part was 28 inches. It was taken by some fishermen on the sands near Maldon. The match between Lieut.:Farmer, and Mr. Fritter, of Wade 's Mill, took place on Friday morning, at eight o'clock, over a six mile piece of ground, near Chalfont, Herts. It was to make the best of the way, eighteen miles, and.the winner was.backed to do it in one hour and fifty.four minutes, the. Lieutenant hating backed himself for twenty-five sovereigns to accomplish it in that time. The parties ran well together the brit six mils , which Were-per formed in forty minutes, when Mr. Fritter made the play, and kept his adversary in full exercise. The second six- miles were done in thirty-nineminotes by Mr. F. who was 50 yards a-head, when he began to fall off in his speed in the 16th mile, where his adversary passed him with ease, and in condition to win cleverly. The Lieu tenant had to make his play fur the bet of V 5 sovereigns, and he left his adversary, who resigned in the seventeenth . mile, but lost his second match by three minutes, much exhausted. The original wager wai 50 sovereigna. The Lieutenant felt cepfident {het he could have won both matches had be Made itis ground good at lgoing off. Several fresuenters of the turf were present. OLD' DECEMBER 9.. - Thomas Williams,- Frederick Williams, Henry Dover, Wm. Quick, and Samuel Baud!, all of them lads'under 14 years of age, stood ed for the wilful murder of Sarah Hood, and in a second count with naanslaughter. Mr. Casey, a surgeon, said that the deceased, oh the 'night of ths9tli of November, wus brought to the West minster Hospital With her thigh broken ; she was in toxicated, and being an aged and very debilitated person, Per constitution could not sustain the shock, and 'the injury caused her death. Henry Watts, and another boy, residing in Charles court, Strancl,', said that on the evening of the 9th Nov. the prisoners and a number of other boys were playing in Charles -court, when the old woman walked along the court. The boys exclaimed "here comes the old Scotch wretch, let us have a lark." The prisoners all laid hold of the deceased behind, and violently pulled her doivn the court, and she fell on the pavement near her own door ; she groaned, and exclaimed, " my thigh is bro ken." The prisoners jeered, laughed, and threw mud at her, before they pushed her down. Mr. Justice PARK stopped the case, and said, thet there was not evidence to go to the Jury to support the charge of manslaughter. Verdict_ of Guilty. Mr. Justice PARK—Be good buys; don't I , lark" any more. I don't like that word "lark ; ' it is an ill word, a very bad word.— Do so no more, boys; go home to your parents, and never'' lark ;" I mean, never jeer and push an old drunken woman again. . Mr. Justice PARK ordered Henry Dunn and Maylka SWIM, who had been convicted last September Sessions, to be placed at the bar. His Lordship said, that the prisoner Dunn had been convicted of stealing in the dwelling house of his employers, Messrs. George Drake Sewell and Thomas Cross, silk met cers and drapers, Compton -street, Soho-square, goods of above the value of *Os. and the prisoner Smith of receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. On the trial before Mr. Justice Littledale and Mr. Justice Gazelee, the Counsel for the prisoners, raised two objections. The first, that the prosecutors ought not be allowed to giVe evidence of more than one act of felony, and ought to make their selection of the property; but Mr. Justice Littledale was of opinion that he was bound to admit evidence shewing the felonious -taking of the various property which had been stolen at different times by Dunn.. The second point raised by the Learned Counsel was in favour of Smith, and he contended that the fact of her pawning two pieces of silk, alleged to have been stolen by Duna, was not admissible in evidence against het, to prove her having feldniously received the same. Mr. Justice Littledale being of opinion that such evi dence was admissible, because the fact of pawning went to prove her guilty knowledge; he received the evidence on the trial, and the Jury found Dunn guilty of the capital offence of stealing in a dwelling-house above. the value of 40s. and Smith of receiving the same, &c. The Twelve Judges had fully considered the two points ,raised, and.-unanimously concurred with the Judge who tried the prisonctrs,ia his opinion, and had decided that both prisoners had been legally convicted, and they would receive their sentence at the close of the Session. bane Hall, a groom out of place, aged 18 years, was capitally costeicted- of stealing in the dwelling hr.use of Edtvatd•VV. : C.

Mr. Ceasvram. conducted the prosecution, and Mr. BRODERICK the defence. Yrom the evidence of the witnesses, it was proved, that on the evening of the 2.5 th ult. a female, named Sailers, who was employed by the prosecutors to take care of the premises, 12, Bucalersbury, which are used by them and other persons. as a warehouse, on going to the house found the outer door locked, or something placed against it in such a manner that she was unable to obtain admittance. She immediately gave the alarm, and several persons having arrived, the door was forced, and it was then discovered that the desk -and trunk of one of the clerks named William Stiff, were broken open and several trifling articles taken away. Before she gave the alarm, she heard glass breaking in one of the apartments ; and when the door was torced four panes of the sky-light were broken sufficiently to enable two persons to escape. In one of the rooms the property above mentioned was discovered packed up ready to carry off. The prisoners were apprehended in the yard of the adjoining premises, No. 11, and the hand of the younger prisoner was severely cut. The prisoners said nothing whatever in their defence, and the Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The Remains immediately ordered the prisoners up for judgment, and remarked, that it was a providential cis cumstance for the prisoners that the house, at the time the robbery was committed, was uninhabited, otherwise they must have recOved sentence of death. The sew. tence of the Coirt . was, that the prisoners be transported beyond the seas for the term of seven years. . The Grind Jury were discharged at eight o'clock, after the Learned Justus had expressed his approbation of the satisfactory 'manner kV which they had performed their duty. John Buayan, aged 2.5, was convicted of stealing - a mare, value Si. the property of John Bertiman. The prosecutor was possessed of the mare in question on the 9th of September, and• being -desirous of of it, he intrusted it to the prisoner, with whom be had a previous acquaintance, to run it tip and down the mar ket at Smithfield, who taking advantage of his momen tary absence, seized the opportunity, and made off with the mare. The prosecutor's son met the prisoner by accident a few days subsequent to the robbery, and •he was secured.— Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. William Davies, the son of a respectable tradesman in Oxford Market, stood indicted for stealing the carcases of two pigs, the property of a neighbouring tradesman, named Rhodes. A strong chain of circumstantial evi dence was produced on the part of the prosecution ; and Mr. BRODER lox,. for the prisoner, brought forward an immense number of witnesses to disprove the evidence Tor the prosecution, and to speak to the general cha• -racier of the prisoner for honesty. The trial lasted a considerable time; and after as elaborate summing up from the Learned Recorder, the Jury, after *thy mi nutes deliberation, returned a verdict of Nut Guilty. Louisa Jones was convicted of stealing a silk handkerchief from the shop of Benjamin'3l.ither, hosier, New -street, • Covent Gar den, on the Bth of November. • • The most extraordinary fact attending this case was, that two men (one of them also named Jones) were • transported at the last Sessions for stealing the same handkerchief from the same shop. • We are informed that the-barracksat Harwich are condemned, and ate speedily to be pulled &we.'

LAW It EPO la. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 9. • FISHER. E. CLEMENT. The plaintiff, an Attorney, ie,iding in Lyrn? Regis, Dorsetshire, had brought an action against John Jo,eph Stockdale, for a libel inserted in a work published by him called Memoirs of Harriette Wilson, in which .he obtained a •erdict for 7001. In consequence of this a• tirade of which. he now ciimplained r appeared in Bell's Life in London, on Sunday, the 27th of May this year. It was in verse, and professed to be a con versation bet Weed Stockdale and Harriette Wilson, in which the former was made to complain to the latter of the verdicts obtained.agaiast him in the case of Mr.Blore, as well as Mr. Fisher, in which the writer not only insinuates, but actually alleges, that the substance of what Harriette Wilson had written of these Gentlemen was true. The record and judgment of the trial against Stock dale were then read. It was admitted that the de fendant was the Proprietor, &c. of the Paper ; and after some further evidence, of tin great importance, the alleged libel was put in and read it is far or, long for us to insert. The principal lines upon which the plain tiff's case rested were— • " I wrote what was not only new, • • But in its substance also true !" Mr. Sergeant VA UQH AN addressed the Jury for the defendant, and read some correspondence between the plaintiff and Mr. Dowling, the Editor of the Life in London, in which the Litter expres,ly denied any intro.. tion of reflecting on the plaintiff, who thereupon offered to drop proceedings on the insertion of an apo:ogy, and the payment of• 401. to two friends whom he would name, to be applied to some chalky.
