They were and the soils of Chiefs of the Sandwich I.les. 't Ii iI moor, at e Hintze Oh Hoo and Titilllo, and they arc tin first tiet,ide wf uhnsr barbarous nations that ever set sipi,t, gl 0111111. It .tad beets the day before re l it eseored to Ills Lordship that site two strangers were hrotteet to this eunt.try nosier circumstances of at, extra• nature, end that being drautate sod without mo ney, or n knowledge of the language, or power of making themselves situlerstood, they would in all probability pe rish, it some means were out taken to send them back to their native country. With some difficulty an interpreter was found. He is a young American, who had been taken prisoner by the natives of Owyhee, where he had gone in a scho.oier, called the Nedhorse, for the put pose of getting smithsl wood, in which that island a:munds. The following circumstance, came nut in the coerce of the examination s-i—On Sunday last the tiergyinaii who officiates on board the floating chapel in the river Thames, observed two toreigneas in the apparel of seamen, who were very attentive during the performance of divine service, but who gave evident symptoms of never !muse seen any thing of the kind before. The Rev. gentleman made diligent inquiries, and fonnd they were two natives of Owyhee—that they had been brought to thirecosentry its an American ship, and had no friend but Mr. Tudgay, rail-maker, and owner of the Ship and Pilot public-house, High-street, Wapping, who had been supporting them about two months. Through the medium of an interpreter, it was stated, that the two warriors had beets fithing at seine distance from the shore in a canoe, with three others, and that an American schooner, which had touched open the island, fur some of their valuable produce, bore down upon, took them all prisoners, and sailed towards Europe. In the Gulf of California, a Spanish privateer captured the schooner, and took the prise and crew into San Josef, where tl.e Spaniards min tiered two of their countrymen, cud made slaves of the warriors themselves. The re maining poor stranger contrived to get possession'of a small Spanish canoe, with paddles, rowed into the ocean, and was never more heard of. After some time; during which they worked an slaves, an American captain, who wanted hands, was accuitiono dated with the two warriors. He promised to land them at Valparaiso, f r whence they could procnre a passage home, but he did trot keep his word, He sailed on to England, and in London, lie left them at the house of the person above, named, who acted with great humanity towards them. The interdict of the East India Cons• parry effectually prevents any of our ships from touching at the Sandwich Isles, and therelose the only alternative the unfortunate men have is to obtain a passage to some country which trades with China, or to depend upon the charity of this metropolis. The wish of the young war riors is to return home. They are extremely gentle, good 'humoured, and good natured. Bosse Oh Hoo determin ed to adapt his appearance to that of those into whose society he had fallen, He therefore put on a jacket and trousers, and cut olf his hair, which, when be was taken, bung below his knees. 'roams did the moues upon land ing. The former is remarkable for his activity and strength, can hit a pint pot at the distance of filly yards with the point of his spear, and can dive to the bottom of 90 fathom water. The interpreter's experience was purchased by great dangers and fatigue. He is twenty-two yeais of age,and in Mt had sailed in the Seahorse from Boston, his native place; to Owyhee for Sandal wood. On the arrival of 'the vessel he and four others were sent ashore in a boat, .but the moment they reached land the natives seised the boat, upon which the interpreter's companions jumped isverboard and swam to the ship, while several of the sa vages laid hold of him, and took him up the country about twenty miles on their shoulders. As he was carried along, the guns were fired from the ship, but there was no loss of life in consequence. He was imprisoned fur six months ; was at first treated harshly, but as soon as he became ac quainted with the lougnage of the country, the greatest kindness was exercised towards him. Upon being set at liberty, he was tattooed in the moat beautiful manner about the body, and sent about naked, and if he had staid • longer, would have been tatooed in the face, the highest degree of houour. He got a wife, and was made a war rior, but he feared that if taken in war he would have been devoured by the victors, of which he saw numerous examples during his stay, having been led by the Chief .Into four bloody battles.—This terror co-operating with Isis recollection of his mother and brothers, In America, •deteranisied him to escape as soon as possible. An op portunity presented itself io the arrival of an American ship, and lie contrived to steal en hoard. He lied since met with many disappointments and fatigues, scud wished Ismoself hack again at Owyhee. is the first white mail a ho has resided amongst the natives of the Island. The Lord Mayor said the account of the two warriors mac highly affecting, expressed his warm approbation of the conduct of Mr. Tudgay, and the Clergyinais ; at the same time expressed Isis apprehension that there was no fund to be applied to the case of the pour strangers, except that which might spring from a source which had a thousand streants—the generous and tative sympathy of Englishmen. CORONER'S INQUEST. On Mondays Coroner's Inquest was bell before Thos. Stirling, Esq. at the Uuffalu's Heusi, hew-road, upon the body of AIM Ranting, used Yi years.

DREARFUL OUTRAGE. I! is a notorious fact that the formidable gangs of thieves which at present infest the public streets. to the terror of the passengers, are unprecedented, and that from their force they have only to 'elect their object. and plunder &News, even at noon Atty. Hut of all the daring acts of itilifthous enterprise we have ever heard recorded, that we are about to relate stands foretaost.-•eteur reputed grieves, of the names of Jones, Hums, Murray, nod Gudley, were fully committed fur trial for robbing the house of Mrs. Watkins, in Mayfair. and another man (V 5 m. Paddock) was hand cuffed with them, wad fastened to the chain to be takeit to Newgate. Paddock's offeuce was simply larceny. They left Marlborough-street Police Odice about desk, under,the escort of Marsden ' tbegaoler, who took them the usual way for privacy along Great litusell-street, and in crossing Tot lroham a woman of the town got into conver sation with them. Ili passing along Great itesirell-street some whistling was heard, and one of the burglars culled out Now fur a rescue." Immediately after, between twenty and thirty ruffians sallied forth from George-street, St.Giles's, and the opposite side, mid knocked Marsden down by a blow on the back with a bludgeon, and they cuutiuued beating him until he was seamless settee on the ground. We scarcely need state that the prisoners escaped. Marsden was taken into an apothecary . shop, and his heed. which was dread. fully cut in four different places, was dressed. He is also much bruised about the back, and but faint hopes are en. pertained of his recovery. About half past ten o clock at night, Paddock, one of lbe prisoners rescued, and who was a stranger to the four burglars, gave himself up at the Marlborough Hrad, opposite the Police Office, to Valentine the calker, who was there, and he sus conveyed to St. Anne's watch.huase. He was on Friday examined before Mews. Covent and Farraat, and his deposition was as follows a-- He was not aware of the rescue until it happened. There were inure than twenty persons came upon them and 'sod denly hurried them on, and on turuing round be saw Mary den was not with them. They ran down Museum-street, into Charles -street, Drury-laue, when the party who rescued them attempted in vain to get the hams of, They proceeded to Lincolies.lon-fields, where they again were attempted to beset at liberty, but it could nut be dune. Here witness was exhausted with runoiug, and being one of the two fore most on the chain be was lifted on by the collar of the coat and the breech. They proceeded through Glare-market aad the Temple, over Blackfriars-bridge, other attempts having been made to get olthe irons. They were led down the gist street on the left in filacktriars.read, and proceeded by the hack streets to the Obelisk, and Irma thence into the Kent-road. it here a supply of files. ehius,rls , itainnscrs, lkc . was uhlaiued, and the pi isoherts were let loose. liut pre viously to this some of the gang asked witness if he knew either ut the other fur, and on his ausweriue in the negative, they took the handkerchief from his neck laud placed it over his eyes, tshil.t they released the whole of them, and the fellow who untied the handkerchief kept it. On separating the burglars said, " lout ad know where we are to meet." W Rona went into the first public-house he came to, and re lated the whole fact, and the,. returned and gave himself up. He was re-committed to Coldhath-fields prison as a witness, with an order to he leisieutly treated. He *told be able to identify some of the gang. John Hitchen, a porter to the fatter-Temple, stated, that be was struck Isy the gang as they passed through the Tem— pie, and several persons were seriously injured, but parti cularly u lamplighrer. who was in their way. They were too strong to be resisted, and the matter in winch they flourished their bludgeons was very intimidatiog. Witness would be able to identify oneof them, and he came to the Office to see if any were apprehended. Mr. Conant, at the close or the business, went to the 8.:- cretary ureitate's Otice to report the alfdir, and a procluma tiue hall been is.ued, Marsden still caiiiiintes very ill, and It is said lie cannot ■nl vise. Preservation of Eggs.—The FAlitiburgh l'h losoith lea I Journal rev, 11111 l cows the following method fur the pre servation of vggs :—Varnish them with gum aralitc, and then imbue' them in pounded charcoal. The e arabtc it prefeiaule to varnish, because it is readily te moved by washing in water; and the charcoal is essen tial for maintaining a uniformity of temperature ound the eggs, in transporting them through different Voyage qf Disco*, y.-..-Lieutenant Parry, sitar passing through Lancaster Sound, proceeded westward, running dawn the parallel of latitude of 15 deg, until he arrived at about 115 deg. W. long., which be reached en the 28th of September 1810, whe n his farther progress was mopped by the setting in of winter. He was then compelled to cut his way through two miles of ice of about two feet in thickness, when he got safely into a snug harbour of a Dew island, which he named after the First Lord of the Admi ralty, and there took up his winter quarters. In Ibis situation he remained from the 28th of September mail the: Ist of August, 1820, when the sea broke op.—. During his slay he saw no other human beings than his own ship's company, nor any animals besides a few. lean deer. Of thew he obtained a few, and these were tiro fresh provisious which the ships had daring the whale of the voyage; they were enabled to grow salad in tae ship, by a hich means the ship's crew were prevented from ea periencing the effects of the scurvey. A singular phenolic nou was observed relative to the magnet. %kith held a va. riation of 128 west, and, only about 150 miles further, of 128 east, plainly praying that, is the meanie the ship took, he bad gone round the Magnetic Pole. The ire in the harbour %Isere he wintered isecreased to shout seven feet, but he found the ice westward to be upwards of forty feet, which of stepped him, as he had nu chance uf cum. Mg his way through such an immense body, fur 500 miles auto Sebring's Straits. SHIP News EZTRAORDINART.—On Monday even. init. sailed front the temporary landing-place, fronting Conortgarairts, secludedly situated on the bank of the Twiner, various vessels, containing, it was stated, some notations (not illustrious) *lmages; they, however, had sonic conspicuous marks of attention paid to them, for they were attended by sevens: persons in office. The vessels which bore away such proportion of the renowned Italian cargoes as were not brought to the mart, were raid to be guarded by the Thames police, &c. Nut were those oth ial personages the only individuals who honoured the travellers with notice. Persons in the several boats, craft, &c. espied the strange sail in the ofliug; and they failed not to greet it with sounds most discordant, but full of meaning. The news was thus spread quickly; and although the parties might be re hearsing the performance of " Ire fly by Night," they were hailed with every species of vocal uisapprobation, as they proceeded towards London Bridge. How they I fared then we know not but perhaps Lloyd's List, or the Citil Litt, may hereafter give us some account of them. They consisted of such portions as had got been examined : the witnesses who were examined, at least such of them as have not been sent away on special missions. a /a Roadie, are said to he still retaioe I in this country. It is only said so; but since the depantire of the unexamined witnesses, the sentinels who used to be handy locked in at the upper end of the House of Lords, leading down to Sir Tyrwhitt's house, have been tissatui This would lead to a belief that nothing *lu st* is left behind. A serious affray took place In Church -street, Brighton, on Saturday night, between a pause of the inhabitants, principally bricklayers and bricklayer' labourers, and a party of the 81st infantry, in which several of the former received bayonet wounds, butt none of any very danger ous kind. An iuqniry took place at the Town-ball. at which the greater part of the officers of the Slat attended. The origin of the disturbance, after various examinations appeared to bare been with a tailor, nasned,O'Brien, wb• passed two men, apparently bricklayers, with whom was a female, about eleven o'clock, near Church-street end of the New Road, that night. Ono of the men accosted O'Brien, and asked hhu who be wa s s t ar i ng at ? w h en O'Brien's reply not pleasing him, the two fell upon hint and beat hint ly. O'Brien, in the end, sought pro tection by running to the sentinel at the entrance of the king's stables, when the soldier beat one of thei assailants off with a blow from the muscle of his musket and hilt of the bayonet, which bruised his head and face. O'Brien then elected his escape; the bricklayers departed also, but soon atter returned in a strong body. It was nearly midnight, when tweet the Slit, who had permission to be out till that time, were returning to the barracks, when they fell in with the re-inforced party t a quarrel ensued, and the soldiers were compelled to fly to the guard-bouss for refuge. The conduct of the rioters be- Caine so outrageous that the guard was obliged to Mrs out, when the wounds mentioned were inflicted, ere trait quality could be restored. The military were parading under anus daring the realer part of the night. At the Town-hall none of the otteuders could be identified; the matter. therefore, stands over for further investigatioo. Ilford 1114nder.—Early on T 'Tuesday morning last. it was discovered that a cottage house near Sutton Bridge, in the comity of Wilts, inhabited by a woman, named Judith Pearce, had been broken into during the preceding night, and the poor woman most inhumanly murdered, by repeated blows and wounds on her head. gipsy, named F. !ward Buck land, whom she had roused to relieve a short time past, and who had, in consequence, set fire to the thatch of her house, was suspected, and apprehended for the murder, and on the verdict of a Coroner's Inquest, was committed fur trial at the next Assize.

Saturday s"nnight, as three brothers, of the name of White were collecting their father's flocks in Glaninark, in the tipper part of the parish of Luclilee, in Fortis-shire s une uf thew attempting to plats, or leap over a brook, swelled a mountain torrent by the late rains, fell in and was carried down by the current; another, in endeavour. tog to save him, was also swept away, and both were drowned, the third being unable to render them any assi-tance.
