NOV• 8. One of them was shot dea ! on the spot ; the other was only w:itmded ; I L , %volt the assistance et Palm, both were nistantly thrown over. b Th e wound-d man swam alter the ship, and caught hold of ruMer, upon which Palm took up a spi,tl, and swore if he did to n let the ruVer go, he would cut his hands off . ; upon which the IL,fortunate wretch let go Ins and was seen no more. Ater this they p!tinJered the captain's property. Palm then took the con. tint of the vessel ; but atter soap ccwsuitation, it was determined t:• n ettle her, and tidce to the boats ; two boats were accordingly 1.-re puted, a. d provisions put on board ; the crew, consisting f eleven pmts;, then got into them, and . they steered for the coast of Africa : Cal we re three days and three nights before they made land, and then one c f the beats was swamped, and a boy was drOWned in getting on t u,:re. They walked along the beach till night, when they Liy down oa the hands to sleep, and the following morning procet den farther into thecuuntry , and perceiving some stn.ke to rise from the midst of a cluster of trees, at a distance, they made towards them, when the blacks tusked out upon them, overpowered and stripped them, and then maraca them some distance into the country, where they were kept for some weeks, when they were sent to Port Lopez, a Portu guese settlement, from whence Mades, Palm, and the deponmt, g;:t w Liverpool. boa after the Adventurer left England, the crew were put on short allowance, and so continued ; they were discontented at this generally, and said they might as well be killed at once as star sred to death. On the morning in which the captain and mate were murdered, Palm, nitist he was striking a light, said he would kill the captain ; the Swedes agreed to do so, and said any one who did not should share the MC tate. The deponent assisted in throwing overboard the two blacks, hut did not touch the captain or mate. Palm's account was as torows :—He sailed from England in tilt Adventurer, as second mate; he had no disagreement with the cap tain till they arrived on the coast, and then they d tiered about wages; he remembered the captain's bringing two black men en board from St. Tno:na,'s, and that soon after the captain was drowned by the bite ot a whale-line having accidentally caught his kg after he had struck a fish, and he was thereby pulled overboard ; one of the blacks went over immediately atter him, and was seen no more. He did mn know what became of the other, but had been told he went over also. Mr. Smith, the mate, was an old man, and died of sickness on board, during the voyage. This was all he knew of the circumstance. They were both committed for re-examination. ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES. MAIL ROSBIRY.—An occurrence has taken place, which is likely to lead to a discovery of the Leeds mail coach. A man who keeps a toll-date near Kettering, and who was seen in conversation at a public house, with two of the men belonging to the caravan, or tilt cart, which, as we formerly said, had been driving about that part of the ciaintry, has been taken up on suspicion, and undergone an examina tion before four magistrates for the county of Northampton. In his bed were found sewed up two fifty pound bank notes of a recent date, but whether they were abstracted from the mail has not been ascer tained. The officers are in pursuit of the man who was guard of the Lends mail, when formerly robbed. This man had been discharged for negligence on that occasion, and for losing his time-piece. It is remarkable that the back, or brass-plate, on which was engraven " Leeds," and G. P. 0. together with the number of the time-piece, had been inadvertently nailed to some part of the toll-house, taken elf by some per:on, and forwarded to the General Post Office: It was found, on referring to the books, that this was the back of the idoitical piece which had been lost on the night of the robbery, near Barnet, upwards of two years ago. The discarded guard has never been in any regular employment since his dismissal from the service of the Post Office, nor had any visible means of subsistence. He has been observett lurking about the ale-houses several weeks, and is sup posed to have accompanied the cart. Mit ANCHOLY Acc oseer.—Thursday afternoon, about two o'clock. Is a wagg.an ' laden with three, casks of spirits, belonging to Mr. Dorrington, distiller, of Brent ford, was turning the corner of High_ street, Lambeth Butts, it upset, when two brothers (sons of the carman) who were riding in the waggon, were thrown out of it, and the casks rolling upon them, one, a boy of nine years old, was killed on the spot, having his skull fractured in several places; stet other, a oy of six years old, had both his legs and hands lacerated in a shock !nit manner, and was conveyed in a coach to St. Thomas's Hospital, iii almost a lifeless state.

He was the very pattern of economy—vothin,; in his manner of living, or st) ie of dress was descriptive of opulence ,• he gave what might have supl ort:d him in splendour to the poor. Tne following trait of stcret benevolence partakes so much of the genuine spirit of our religion. that we are in duced, in reverenc to the memory of the deceased, as well as by the hope of inspiring Christians with the z -al of emulation to notice it : for several years previous to his death, 125 poor widows received 'teem him, through the intermediate agency of a tri-.ind, a weekly stipend, and were totally ignorant of the name of their benefactor until the pe riod of his death Notwithstanding his extensive charities, he died worth nearly 100,000!. the greater put of which, however, he has disposed of in chat bequeathments.
