OPt ' . • . . %- LAIV INTELLIGENCE. AFRICAN EXPEDITION, TOR DISCOVERING THE COURSE OF THE NIGER. The Mission, consisting of Dr. Ounebrav, Major DENIIA AI, and Lieutenant CLAPPERTOI4, had, on their first journey, arrived at Moorzouk, the capital of the kingdom of Fezzan, in the month of April last, in the best health mid spirits, having performed the jour ney in 42 days, a distance of 600 miles. On arriving at MoorAptik, the same house was prepared for them that b 0 been inhabited by Mr. Racine and his, friends, in the year 1819, and where he fell a victim to the arduous enterprize he had undertaken. All those who have read Captain LYON'S interesting nar rative of this journey, will recollect the delays and diffidulties that presented themselves to the further prosecution of their object, and the privations they had here to encounter and endure, which paralysed their ezertioas by exhausting at once their health and their resources. Major DENHAM, fearing lest his hopes might be defeated by similar means, and all his endeavours to advance to Bourno proving ineffec tual, decided on the hazardous alternative of return ing to Tripoli, and he describes his journey in the following words: " la pursuance of my intentions, which you were made ac quainted with by my letter from Moorzuuk, I left that place on the 19th of May, and after twenty-two days of very great fatigue, arrived here (Tripoli) on the llth bf last month. One Arab Sheik and two camels composed,' with . myself, the cara van. Our usual time was from 14 to 16 hours In the 24 on the march; and in passing the Deserts (three and four days in length) always 18 hours ; the camels I scarcely ever allowed to rest ; the halt we always made in the middle of the day, to allow the' camels to come up, was by far the most trying part of the jonr trey. Exposed to the burning heat of the mid-day sun, where nature had not provided shade sufficient for a grasshopper, lying on a scorching sand, and with nothing to alleviate our parching thirst but wretched water, which had been for several days in beastly skies, was a misery I had no conception of before. " At night we generally got a little kouscacous, with some fat nod salt, no bad sapper ; hut a cup of tea was luxury supreme, as it satisfied thirst, and took elf the edge of the putrid taste of the bed water ; our fire, which was always made by scraping tor: ['.ter the camels' dung which we found, was consequently uncer tain, and we sometimes could not find more than was necessary for boiling a little water. I had a tent with me, but seldom fitched it, we were all tired, and my Arab thought it quite use -I,:ss ' • we slipt oil our horses when nearly sleeping wit h fati g ue and heat, the nose-bag was put over the poor animal's head, and a cord round his two fore legs; the loose stones were soon cleared from a space large enough to receive our carcases, and rolled up it. a fen-muse, in two minutes all our troubles were forgotten." arrangz nents having been now made, by winch it is hoped all the difficulties, except those of climate, may be avoided, Major Denham has again set forward to rejoin his associates, and, in a subsequent letter, says, " I shall certainly make the Vt . tempt at returning home by way of Egypt," COURT or CHANCERY, FEBRUARY 7. PRACTICE OF TILE COURT.—ERFARTE MIME/. , The Lotto CHANCELLOR having in the early part of the day made an older in this cause, which re,, fated merely to costs, Mr:AOAlt (whOcame into Court some time after) wk.hed to say a fair words respecting his Lordshies decision, as he did not happen to be in Court when the matter war mentioned: _ _ • _ The LoanCtiANcEtiors—Mr. Agar, that ""as not my fault. I will not hear another word upon that subject. The case has been already once disposed 01, Ltd the time of the Public most not be wasted, and the - patience of the Court shall not be trifled with, by your imposing on me the tislt'Of kearing it a second time, merely because it. inked your convenience to be in the Vice-Chancellor's Court when the question was first agitated. *Mr. c osn vas exceedingly sorry it had so hap pened, but he . had not been aware that the matter would so soon have come on. The observation he was instructed to make, however, would not occupy vue moment, if it was consented to. The LOAD CUANCELLOR—I repeat it, Mr. Agar, I will-not hear you ; you have really driven me to the adoption of some measure of this %flit, from the fre quent, hay, I may say almost daily occurrence of this grievance. I not only owe it to my own con sistencv, but it is due to the dignity of the Court that I should no longer allow Counsel, because the Vice- Chancellor will not suffer himself to be so treated, to absent themselves in the other Court, and only t come into this Hall at their convenience, often when a c.mse has been disposed of, when they take it as al matter of course that I should bear it over again. It is not fair, that while the Vice-Chancellor gains the; credit (and very properly) of not suffering this delay, that my character should suffer with the Public, be cause lam thus imposed upon. In future, it. musti be distinctly understood, that when it happens that the opening Counsel is absent, I shall immedi: ately ;direct the cause to be sttuck out of the paper a)togeilier, and when the Counsel for the Ofher party is out of Court, I.shall consider the application, whsit ever it may be, as unopposed. As this is not the first tine that I hare given notice of my intention so to do, no Gentiethhn at the Bar can plead ignorance, and therefOre I shall enforce it in the present instance. 1 will not bear another word respecting it ; if my de cision has been wrong, the parties know their remedy. Mr. AGAR bowed to his Lordship ; after which the Court proceeded to the consideration of various part beatki bankrupt petitioni. Sic&CUANdet.LOR'S COURT, FEBRUARY 7. 1.94 1 1 D MVVIEE v. SIR T. CARR. In this *ate Mr. WisKeatELD moved that Mr. Lee, an Attorney, should be ordered to produce some papers heltinging to Lord Hawke, within a fortnight, ty - the gitortnei 9f the plairtai. on their undertak tug to aeliver them up again at the' termination of the cause for which their production was required. Ti c circumstances of the case were these. Some time since Lord Hawke was in embarrassed circum staucec, and_applied to a Mr. Rickworth, a banker at York, for assistance. The latter promised to aid his Lordship, provided he would employ Mr. Lee, who Was then Mr. Rickwortb's attorney. His Lord ship placed hisgfairs acchrdingly in the bands of Mr. Lee. In the course of some transactions, a re ceiver was directed to be placed on the estate of his tordship, and Mr. Rickwarl was appointed as re . ceirer. The latter, however, had never accounted for the produce of these estates, and an account was directed against him, when Mr. Lee appeared as his attorney. It was then that Lord Hawke appointed Messrs. Jewell as hii aitornies, and it was now moved that Mr, Lee should be 'obliged to deliver up some papers to them which he had in his possession be- longing to his Lordship;-and which papers were ne cessary for the purpose of conducting this suit, and. • I • •• . " • & an underiaking would be sivettelb mieliver them when they were no longer naotssory. Mr. HART opposed the motion. There was no case to which there were - fewer exceptions than that an attorney could only be called upon to deliver up papers when his costs were paid. The VICE-CHANOSLLOR suggested that the Rule did not apply, When the attorney stopped in the mid dle of the cause, and appeared in a character hostile to his client. Mr. HART said, in this case Mr. Lee was ready to deliver up the whole of the pa €s belonging to Lord Hawke, on his Lordship's paying the costs. On his Lordship's application for them a bill of costs was presented to him, and he had it taxed, and finding it more easy to have the bill taxed than to pay it, he now took this course to get the papers out of the hands of Mr. Lee. It appeared from answers given to his Honour by the Counsel, that thi papers which it was named that Mr. Lee should deliver up, or allow the inspection dt were not relating to the matters in ques tion, between Lord Hawke and Mr. Rickworth. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, he could never make such an order as that moved for. The motion was allowed to stand over, with respect to the costs of the application only, until some further proceedings in the cause, when his Honour said he would see whe ther he should not fix Lord Hawke with the costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY 7. SMUGGLING. On a former day, Mr. PLATT obtained writs oi habeas corpora to bring up the bodies of twenty-two persons, who were detained on board his Majesty's ship Severn, without warrant or other lawful cause. In a day or two afterwards the Solicitor-General obtained a wilt of certiorari to return the_proceedings before a Coronet's Inquest, touching the death of a Custom-house Officer, named William Cullum, of the Revenue cutter, called the Badger, and Also the pro ceedings before an Inquest, touching the death of three persons unknown, who were killed in a conflict between the Badger and a Dutch smuggler, name unknown, off the coast of France, on the 13th of January last, In obedience to these several writs, the twenty-two individuals above-mentioned were,' this morning, brought into Court handcuffed, to-. gether with the several proceedings mentioned in the certiorari. • TA, return to thews its of habeas . corpora; made by' Captain' McCulloch, of the Severn, stated * : that the prisoners pow returned had .beeosiblittered" into custody _by Lieutenant - Henry Nagle, of 'the 1 13idger, on the 13th of January, as persons who were. taken onboard a Dutch smuggler, laden with half ,ankets of 'foreign Spirits on the rims; of France, the same morning, and charged with the wilful murder. 'of Cullunt,-who.was killed by a gun-shot Mound, qtr ittie.tagensent tetween 'the Badger and the DutelOtutigglet, and that the said prisoners ha&, 'beep, ever siatt.l4i% - detained until a convenient op portunity could be found' for transmitting them to London, to be dealt with' according to law.. The proceedings returned is Obedience to the certiorari, parpOr,tad trR , .4 . 014aia the depositions taken on two leveral Inquest: held . at Dover..one_concerning the death of 'William , Cullu in, the verdict being wilful murder against some person or - persons to the Jurors anknowo; and *the other ',concerning the . death of _three persons, names unknown, found_dead on board the Dutch smuggler, names unknown, -the verdict being justifiable hon.:icicle. The depoii ions se4rally purported to state the circumstances of the conflict , in which his Majesty . 6 revenue cutter Badger w a s en gaged with a Dutch armed smuggler. crew 25 men. commanded by a Dottlifnan, on the nth of January, in which.Mr..Cuilorn was deliberately murdered after the sMugglerhed crie-d for quarter; and three of the crew of the smuggler were killed in the. course of the previous engagement. • The Wafts corpora had been moved for on the 1 2.7thsiif 'January, and now, Mr. Ilaocurt AM arid 31r. PLATT appeared - Tor the prisoners, and insisted that they- were entitled. to be discharged on three grounds : first, that the return to the Habeas Corpora presented na reasert - for thedeten- Lion of the prisoners, inasmuch as there sieve s,ite*ir cumstances alleged justifying any suspicion against them ; secondly, that supposing there were sincum- Aances of suspicion, still that an unreasonable length of time had elapsed, namely, from the 13th to the 27th of January, befbre any steps were taken to in vestigate the case beliore Justlces of the Peace; and thirdly, that as no such steps had been taken, the Judges Of this Court would not be warranted in or altring the farther detention of the prisoners, by reason of the objection appearing on the face of the return. The Colour, without hearing the Counsel for the Crown, wet e clearly of opinion that, supposing the return to the writs of Habeas Corpus to-be informal, still, as it appeared Eon) the return to the Certiorari that a murder had been in fact committed in the course of a transaction in which all the prisoners were engaged, there was sufficient to justify them in their discretion in ordering that the prisoners should be detained until the circumstances of the carte should be investigated before Justices of the Peace; for which purpose their Lordships ordered that the pri soners should be committed to the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea; but their Lordships urged the . propi iety of a speedy investigation into the case by the proper Authorities. Their Lordships thought, Considering the circumstances under which the prisoners had been apprehended, that no unreason able delay had taken place in causing an investigation before Magistrates, so as to justify their discharge. The prisoners, many of whom were wounded, were committed according to the directions of the Court. CRIMINAL INIFOR4TION. Mr. Scantarr moved for a criminal information against two Magistrates of the county of Suffolk, for, omitting to set forth the evidence upon the record of a conviction of a respectable carrier, named Marsh, of Norwich. - for unlawfully carrying in one of his waggons twenty-two live pheasants, and twenty-two partridges, for which supposed offence_ he had been adjudged to pay penalties to the amount of 2251. cohtrety to evidence, demonstrating his' utter ig norance of the offence imputed. It was alleged that the object of the Magistrates in omitting - to set forth the evtdeace,was to prevent the defendant from avail ing himself of the advantage of a certiorari, to remove the proceedings, in order to quash the conviction. At the suggestion of the Court, Mr. SCARLITT was content to take a rule for a tnentkants to compel the Justices to draw up afresh conviction, setting forth the evidence, and a certioreri•to retnowesuch couvicr; uoa when prepared, in ordot that the jesticelf the case might be attained. ~~ -k - •••„,...•••• - • ratcE o WEW VACS.

Collyer and Carpenter were the principals in the fight, Bon field Bartlett being the second of Collyer ; and the ofair of honour between these redoubtable heroes was brought about, as many other affairs of this kind are among greater men, by the caprice, coquetry, or something else, of One of the fair sez. Collyer had been /Practising all " love's artillery" upon a young milliner, who to him was everything that " youthful poets fancy when they love," and believed that he bad Weedy made great progress in awakening sentiments of a reciprocal kind, when all his bliss ful visions were Suddenly dispelled; for hcivas waiting one evening - in anxious expectation of the arrival Of:his mistress, at a particular spot, according to appointment, t'vheti she all at once burst upon his astonished sight, leaning upon the arm of Mr. Carpenter, and patting him familiarly on the cheek. His feelings were too big for utterance, and fearing to trust himself in their presence at such a moment, he ran home and betook himself to his garret, in London House-yard. — Here, after sundry attempts, he produced an epistle, suitable as he thought to 'the occasion, and availing himself of that ready channel of communication, the twopenny post, dispatched it next morning to Mr. Carpenter. This note contained a challenge to the latter to meet him, giving hint the choice of time, place, and weapons. Carpenter, on the receipt thereof, returned this very proper answer--" Jemmy, my lad, if you trouble me with any more of your nonsense about duels, I shall thump you well, and if that will not do I must apply to your mother.—G. C." The valiant Mr. Collyer, however, was not so easily put down. Ile wrote another letter to Carpenter, in which the germ "coward" Was This was too much, and Carpenter determined to meet him at the place appointed, namely, the bottom of Saint Martin's-lane, not, however, intending to use any other/weapons than those furnished him by Nature. Ile found Collyer there, attended by Bartlett, and the latter immediately produced two sword canes, which he'drew, and presented one to each. Car penter objected to that mode ) but Callyer, plating his back against a house, took his rapier in his right hand, and puttiug his kit before his face, called out, " Come on, rat-catcher—come on I" At this critical moment the watchman made his appear ance, and before they could disperse he called others to his assistance, and they were conveyed to the watch-house, a place well calculated to cool any remains of courage they might have. The Magistrate (Mr. Hatts), after giving these silly boys a severe reprimand, discharged Carpenter, and ordered the other two to find sureties to keep the peace.
