1104 DUEL.—On Wednesday mot ning a meeting took place at Coombe Vood, near lVimbledon, between Capt. it—, belonging to a d•r^oon regiment stationed near London, and Mr. K—. a gentleman well knot a i ) the sporting world. The cause of dispute 011- inated on Tuesday af'ernoon at a house in St. t James's-street. in consequence of the Captain ex pressing it as his opinion that the late pugilistic contest on Crawley Downs, between Randall and Martin, was a cross (i. e. a sold battle.) The parties by agreement tired at ten paces, when the Captain received the ball of his antagonist in the upper part of his right (the pistol) rn.a: the principal and seconds then left the gaoond, and proceeded by way of %Vandsworth to London, when the ball was extracted. He was atierwards conveyed to his residence in the :cinity of the tavern where the qua , rel mig:nated, and his early recovery is by no means considered doubtful. The Duke of Northumberland has made an abate ment in the rent of his tenants of 201.1 N. cent., which, t itit the deduction of 251. per cent. made before upon many of the fatms, when the price of a zricultural produce was at its height, makes it 43 per cent. Titre: Englishmen, Doctor Woodney. Lieutenant Clapperton, of the nasy, and Lieutenant Denman, of the ai my, have undet-alsen ft joinacy to the in terior of Africa to decide the question respecting +tie source of the Niger. They mean to embark at Falmouth to proceed to Tripoli, and travel to Mour. zouk. in remit', under the special protection of the Bey of Tripoli, to whom the travellers have been s rongly recommended by the English Govetament. They intend to explore a way to Boraoon, which did not appear difficult to Captain Lyon, then follow fie course of the livers which they may meet, or the route of the caravans. Orders have been transmitted to New South %Vales, where the 4Sth regiment is stationed, to reduce that em i ts, at present 1000 strong, to the establishment of the rest of the infantry. It was o•ving to a special application from the late Gover. nor, in ISIS, that it was increased to that strength. It is now preferred to place the 48th on the same rioting with the other infantry battalions, and to forward an additional regiment to the station. The Si (or Buffs) have received orders of readiness for New South Wales, and are on their way to Chat ham, whence, according as convict ships go out, they will be sent in detachments on board - those vessels. The new Government of St. DonOng°, it ap pears, is interfeting to check the piracies under the independent flag, us it is called, in the adjoining seas. A brig of that class, culled the Esperwous, of 14 guns and (it) men, put into Cape Ilaytian, f..om St. Bartholomew's on the 26th April last, with a Spanish ship, the Lndgligas, of 400 tons, her 'nix.: Both were then seized by order of President Buyer, and according to letters received on Saturday, have been since condemned. A remarkable instance of the extent to which the depredations alluded to ate cutrimi in the seas of the West Indies, is com. municated by the animal of a vessel (the Cesar, Fisher) at Liverpool. This ship sailed from Ja. maica the 18th July, and wits boarded on the aid by the Mars, a Buenos Ayrean aimed bile, which had been out four mouths, and during that period had mode 16 prizes, On Monday last the Recorder made his report for the July sessions, and four have been ordered for execution on Tuesday the 25th instant, %ix. George Lee, for uttering furged notes; Thomas Thompson, for highway robbery, with violence; Thos. Patmore, tin. stabbing General Eden ; and Sarah Pa, ne, for stealing in a dwelling-house. The execution of the latter will be postponed on account of her preg. a :ney. Arsansinalon of a Briti.sh ercto.—Accounts have been received at Portsmouth of the melancholy fate of the ()dicer awl British crew in charge of the :lave brig Vol cano d. Sot, which was e.mtured two years since by one of the cruisers under Sir George Collier'. orders. The Murgiana, on arriving with a slave vessel at Bahia, on the coast of Brasil, received a confirmation of the far mer report of the murder of the master's mate and the whole of the British seamen, which yea , perpetrated in cold Snood oil the port St. Salvador; and as soon as the slaves were landed the essel was Milk. It appears that one of the crew was a native African, who hail beets a supernumerary on board the King's ship, when or, the African statino, was pitt on board the prize, awl being a mall of athletic form, he appeare d touch too tempting an object to share the foe of his European usessmates, on account or the high price which he bore as a slave. lie Was, therefore, no; pondered with the rest of the crew, MA sold as one of tie slave carats, and sent into the interior, whence, in the course of &raffles tic became trantierrerl to I titer wasters, and at length he net with one of the otikeers of the 11164;iota, whom he recognized as having belonged to the Thrice, and to him lie related the circumstances of this horrid transaction, Captain Ftelaison was, 111 cons:vertex, taking eve!) , means to urge the Portuguese aultiorities to investigate the utelan choly occurrence; and we trust the result will appear, as it often has done mat, by site interposition of Provi• dente, the avarice of man will prove the waits of leads tog to his condign punishment for his greater crimes. THE NATIONAL REGISTER M I DDLESEX SESSIONS. Duncan Menzies was indicted for assaulting Joseph Eiroshaw.—Tile prosecutor, who is a Lifeguardsman, stated, that nu the 47th of August, he was going from his barrack to visit a friend in Tichfield.street, and as he pawed thro' Oxford -street. he was attacked by a mob of persons-..ealling him " Murderer—Piccadily Dutcher," and other opproorions appellatione,at the same time pelt. in s him with :;tones, loick.bats, Sze.

The Chairman said, the judgment of ihe court was, that he should be itnprisomd three month~, and but for the goodness of his enaracter slvitild be three years. Thi: family of the Haivemicrofts, who t‘ ere found guilty for a conspiracy to defame and slander a surgeon, of the name of Prohy, were next placed at the bar for judgment, They seemed 'a very respectable family• The prosecutor having very hinnanely interferial, The Chairman said, that alter a long investigation, and to the full satisfaction of the July, they had been ail found guilty of a most vile conspiracy;--had it not heen for the prosecutor's interference, a very severe sen tence would undoubtedly have followed this conviction. The object of the conspiracy had totally failed y its in tention was to roils a young professional man in the veto outset of his life, but it had ended in most fully establishing his character, his present application for mercy did him very great credit. The court, how ever, hai l a duty to perform, the punishment should be kept hanging over the heads of the whole party, and they should be bound severally in the sum of tool, to appear when called on. They accorditt4lv entered into their several rocogni- ZIIICeS, and were discharged.
