BELZONI, , • (FROM 7rn oaraetean CIItONICLI.) Allength some latelligesee has arrived of the intrepid and I ndefatigable traveller, Mr. Belzoni. We have been favoured with the following extracts of a letter which has been received from him. We regret to say, that neither place nor date a►e gives in the loner, for reasons width Mr. Belzoni subsequently states— " It would be difficult for you, my dear friend. to believe to what an excess the go of petty men is carried. You will \meson by my letters from Fes and Gibraltar, how far Used advanced in the good will of the Moorish people, and what Were my hopes of success, whet I was so cruelly disappointed. I must now tell you that my progress in that quarter was stopped. not by the Moors, but by the intrigues of some per sonals office, who avail themselves of the occasional authority given to them by their superiors to vent their spleen on an unprotected individual. who refuses to stoop and pay wart to them. Not satisfied with the disappointment they occasioned, find (if the information which I received by the last packet to the Brazils, that touched at Tenerife, be correct) that they have accused me of making an improper use of some letters of introdeetion, which had been given to me, and of endeavour ing to pass myself of as on agent of the British Government. You well know that I distinctly stated to you, in my letter front Tangier, that I had nothing to do with the English Go vernment, end that I relledeatireiy easy own resources.—This letter I am happy to see by an English paper now before me, you made public; and in further confirmatioa I shall enclose to you the copy of s letter I received from the Moorish Minis ter at Fez. I request'of you to do me the favour, If you have seen or heard of any erroneous statements, to give publicity to this letter, and also to give a copy of the receipt, in pay ment for ISO dollars, which I gave to Mr. Doggies, the English Consul at Tangier, for some fine white cloth, to make presents of at Fez. I mention these thi age to show you how little pre ' text there was for their accusations; but they are worldly mistaken if they think to hinder me by such means—nothing but death itself shall deter me from pursuing my intentions.— Mrs. Belzoni furnish you with a copy of the receipt I ai led* to. I trust to your kindness and friendship to refute the calemeles against me—be assured that all is going on well— but it is hard to consider, that, thread of being supported. I am persecuted; but I must have patience, and if I succeed, why the mortification will be with my adversaries. lam now in the latitude of 21 degrees north; that is all I can tell you for the present, for fear my enemies should come to the know ledge of where I am. Excuse my hasty scrawl." The following is the copy of the letter to whleo Mr. Bel- , Boni refers, and the original of which in Arabic is In his possession : " Know, that his Imperial Majesty has ordered this comma election from me, Sidi Benzelul, to the friend and gentleman Belzoni. We have received your letter, by which we ob Pour arrival at Tangier, and that you wish to come to the Royal resence. Yoe will come. and-every thing you want shall be granted agreeable to your wish, with the help of God. Judah Benelish, our agent at Gibraltar. has written to es on the sub. ;get, and he requested me to pay you every attention end to facilitate every thing you wish—there w et no necessity of it, as I am well aware of your situation more than what be hes explained—it is quite sufficient what you say that you are the man I knew at Egypt. My master; whom God preserve, has already ordered that you proceed to Fes with due howler sad attention, cad you shall be before his high Majesty. I will get you the order to pees cad repass to the cities you may please, with respect and honour." We have great pi in laying before our readers a long -list of subscribers to aid of Mr..Beizoni's endertaklog ; bet we regret to learn, from Mr. Belzoni's own statement, that the **poses of his journey to and from Fez, and residence there, together with the necessary presents and other articles, I amounted to the sum of 1,0001. defrayed byeilmself. We un dersteed that through the interest of the Moorish Mieleter at Fen. an express dromedary has been salt from Fos to Thelpue too, with money and letters for Belsoel. is ease the caravan Should already have departed for Timbuetoo. No European, es whose veracity we can depend, has hitherto reached this extraordinary City —it will be a fine field 'for Belsoni's enter. prise, and he deserves the patronage - and the good wishes of the liberal and enlightened of all countries. Serums AT Coax.—We mentioned on Thursday the conviction of Captain Yeats., master of the vessel lately seized at Cork. The Magistrates were occupied on Wednesday with the trial of Mr. Verling, of Cooe, who bad been found en board the vessel at the time it was placed under wiz ire. After a patient investigation, it was proved that be had gone on board only as ship agent, and not as • person concerned in smuggling, and the Magistrates therefore instantly seqnitted him. The Magistrates then declared that io the case of Simeon Wilson, who having been found on board the John, they did not consider blares a St person to be sent on board the fleet, and therefore directed that be should pay the penalty of 1001. Three other persons, who were of the crew of the John, of the names of William Evory, James Chappel, and Ron. ben Smith, were brought op and put on their trials; the tw o former as British subjects, and the latter as a Foreigner.— They were all convicted, and the two former sentenced to be sent on board Isis Majesty's fleet to serve for fire years, and the Anserican to pay • firm of 1001. The Agent for the prisoners intimated to the Magistrates that it was intended to remove them all by writs of Habeas Corpus to Dublin, where the veers! oSjections made to the convictions would be argued.—(lVoierford Chronicle.) On Sunday afternoon, about half-past 5 o'clock. as a young woman named Sarah Witter, was returning to Maidstone, from New Barns, she was accosted in the lime leading from Penenden Heath to the New Gaol, by a marine, named George Johoson. who suddenly came owt of an orchard into the road. At first be asked her to comply with his wishes, bat she refusing, he attempted to e ff ect his purpose by force, and used her with great barbarity. The girl resisted and I e forced her shawl into her mouth to stop her cries. She made a very spirited retistance, and some persons coming up, the fellow ran away. sod having reached Maidstone went to the Kingsley Head. the quarters of the Marine recruiting party. Shortly after, some person went into the house, and told Mr. Collings the landlord, of the outrage that had been committed. He, suspecting the man who had just entered the tap,caused him to be apprehended, and it was ascertained that he was the offender. Ills face was mach scratched.und blood was on his belt.OnMos day morning he was taken before the Mayne, when the girl swore to his identity, and he was fully committed to take his trial for an assault, with intent to violate. He is a young men Italia' relatives residing is this town.— (IVenits/1 Chronicle.) AQUATIC MATCH ?ROM Tat Towasivo IGRATEICND AND runes TO rue Noaa.—A trial of skill and wealth took place on Thursday for 60 sows.; Messrs. Sandhurst and Leicester against Al Radstock and Greenwood—to row to thehL•re. There was another bet of 10 tots. which passed Tilbury Fort first. The boats kept together to Greenwich, when Radstocit's boat took the lead and kept It until a short distance, when each exerted their skill and strength to reach Tilbury Fort, and the tee sovereigns were won by Sandhurst's boat by about 100 yards. This distsnce was performed in four hours and twenty minutes. AlthouglvSandhurst's boat woo the match by more than a mile, his opponent once passed him; het they had not equal skill with the winners when out of the river. The dis taste is called 00 miles, and it was done in II hours. The list replaces, in Dublin, the 77th, ordered to embark at Give for the West Indies. The Slit are destined for the East India station Ia Spring. The Mb, on arriving from Gibraltar, are to be stationed la fraud. We understand that in state aesee of the immense im inflation of Dutch hare and rabbit skins, English are set, worth half the pries they fetched last year.

They are sensible that your grief for the sad eatastrophe of your late gallant husband most necessarily be overwhelm ing.

In consequence of information. Wayles, Ballard, and Schofield the officers, went to a house in Buckriiige Street, where they found droves, and the brother of Asbury. in the company of some females. They bed the place. and found a small portion of time property Asbury was met seine days after, and secured. droves admitted that he bad committed the robbery; but denied that Asbury keew any thing of it. The RICOUDIIII was about to sum up the evidence, but the Jury expressed themselves satisfied, and found both prisoners Chile,. The Raceaciaa immediately sentenced them to be transported for seven years. QUEEN SQUARE.—(Tats Dtr.) EVIL OF PAWNING. A pawnbroker at Wandsworth appeared before Mr. MARILLAND, the sitting Magistrate, to shew cause why he refused to deliver up a watch pledged at his shop. lie said that the watch had been pawned by a young man, and that a young woman broit . ght an affidavit, signed by Magistrate of this °Mei, whose signature be (pawn. broker) did not know; and fearing tile had no right to the watch, be refused giving it up till the young man came himself. The Magistrate said the affidavit would be sufficient secu• thy for him, and observed that the poor of this extensive metropolis pay considerable sums yearly to pawnbrokers. There are many who pawn their best apparel every Mon day morning, and redeem it as regularly every Saturday night, when they pity one month's interest ; thus paying at least 52 dines the Interest allowed by Act of Parliament. They frequently lose the duplicate on the brat dav ; then pay the pawnbroker fourpence for the form of an affidavit; sad next come to time Magistrate to swear it and pay an other shilling, however small the sum may be that the article is pawned for. Upon an average, he has no less than forty affidavits of this sort every day to sign. This is a serious grievance, which should be made public ; for if people was sensible of the expense they are put to, they would not so readily pawn their property. The pawnbroker was ordered to give up the watch, and to pay the expenses for hisalleged honesty. . I` THAMES POLICE —(tssr Ntearr.) COMBINATION AMONG SARUM. TO STRIKE von %YAWN. —Nine athletic men, sawyers by trade, were placed at the bar, under the following circumstances :—A disposition had prevailed among the sawyers to "strike for wages." Two men,however, in the employ of Mr. Young, of Bermondsey, dissented from the resolution into which otliers had entered, and continued to work. On the evening of Thursday, when the two men had left their work, they crossed over to Cuckold's Point, and were there met by the prisoners at the bar ; two of whom struck them repeatedly. and would have carried their violence to • greater extent had not their cries of " Murder" brought to their assistance several persons who extricated them. The assailant.; were given io charge to the patrol. and locked op ; and last evening placed at the bar, when their former employers swore to the above facts. The men who had been assaulted pointed out two who struck them, and who were consequently ordered ►o find bail. and to give ,48 hours' notice. The other seven were bound over in their own recognisance' to keep the peace. On Friday evering, between nine and ten o'clock, as Mr. Stephen Matthews. of Chatham, draper, was re. turning from Bronapton, be was stopped by a woman of masculine appearance, named Ann Walker, who seised him by the collar, and seas ceremenie, rifled his pocket of a purse containing four sovereigns and a I.alf in gold, and about thirteen shillings in sane.. with whiffs she decamped. leaving Mr. Matthews petrified with aitosishesent. He, however, sp.edily recovered from his surprise, and followed, .but did not overtake her till she had reached her hems on the brook; on looking through the window, bo saw her busily engaged eohnting 'the money into her lap, and immediately demanded admit twice, which shi refused. and threw the purse into tbe fire. Subsequently atoneable arrived, but the clasp of the pulse and the silver less all that could be found, the gold having disappekred. She has since been ednimitted for trial at the approaching Aulses.—(KontisAleltresiele) MURDER OP M. The murder of Mr. Momiord appears to hare been per petrated at a spot hut too well calculated for so atrocious a design. Widdington is about six miles froas Satan Walden, and twelve miles from Great Duonsow, a part of the county of Beset, which in summer time appears beau• Wally diversified by bill and dale, but in winter_ promote a dreary waste, and where, to a stranger, it woalelappetar that the road had been taken from the topes fieldibet a few years, a great portion of land still !pat itt that part aninclosed. There is just at the particular part of the road alluded to, a distance of nearly a mite either Way, in which not a cottage or vestige of security presents itself—. It was in such a dreary spot that the merslorer attacked the unfortunate victim of his 'malice —a bare mile from Widdington only, in a narrow road, where Om sides are thrown up so as to exclude any distant view by open day. and prevent the voice from being beard by night; at this spot, and in the darkest part of Monday evening last, whoa fatigued in his endeavours to ascend a very steep bill, Mr. Mumford appears to have been attacked, and with such remorseless fury, that the spot •exhibits but little signs that any resistance could have been made. The blood itself cries aloud for retribution; its purple stream is even now clearly visible, and will long remain, notwith standing the traffic over the spot is, and has since been very great. Mr. James Mumford, the 'victim, was the son of Mr. John Mumford, a most respectable farmer, occupying Prior's Hall, in Widdington. a farm of three hundred acres, belonging to one of the colleges at Oxford. Oa the Jury and Coroner proceeding to the house of the dist d parents, to view the body, it presented so muti lated an appearance, as scarcely to be described. The head was beat in at the bind part, the jaw was crushed to pieces, and the bludgeon with which it was effected being Jagged, the face and even under tliechio was so torn, chit it was first thought that a sharper instrument bid been used, the blood having run down the road in a streasn. The deceased could not possibly be recovnised by the nearest relative, but from other proofs than those of his former features. John Pallet, the prisoner in custody, charged with the horrid offence, is the son of an industrious labourer, who has been in the employ of Mr. Mumford, for a na.nber of years ; and the father bears a good character. The son is about twenty-one years of age; he, also, it appears, worked for Mr. Mumford, and last with Mr. Robert Wiskeu, of the Fleur-de-lis public hoes. in Widdington. Mr. Robert Smith, a publican, at Hirchanger, was the person who first discovered the body, and be exhibited in his conduct a courage alospst unprecedented, and at the same time, the most praiseworthy humanity. His attention was arrested by his pony , shying, when he observed some thing like a person lying in the road ; be instantly dis mounted •, spoke, but received no answer. Hs stoope t down and heard groan.. by which be became convinced 1 that it was a fellow creature, *nose life was not totally extinct. and who requird immediate aid, and notwithstanding he was alone, be removed the body to a place of greater security, and with the wood speed returned to Widiliogton to obtain assistance. Having dispatched men with a light, he then went in search for a cart to convey the body, which he also obtained. The men who were sent, on coming near to the spot. appear to have had less courage than Mr. Smith ; they stopped 011 listen ; nothing was beard—they proceeded farther ; sad about 50 yards soarer to Widdington than Mr. Smith left the body, they met the prisoner Pallet, bearing the timegled corpse upon his back; when asked what he had get there, he said it was " Jam Stamford." whom he bad flicked up. The mea held the candle to the face of the then dead man, bat although they had boon well acquainted with par. Mumford, they could by no means recognise him; still the prieosser persisted in saying he knew it wa be, The body was then taken into a cart, and conveyed "to the Fleur-de-lis public-house, and from thence to Prior's Hall. The prisoner assisted in lifting the body in and oat of the cart, and followed it to the public house, where he sat down to drink. At the instance of a gentleman Damsel Campbell, Pallet was taken into custody, which . be resisted most violently, and it was not until seven persons aided and assisted, that he was properly secured. Mr. Mumford, it appears, bad been in London about tel days, where he has two brothers. He came home on the ill-fated Monday evening, by the Walden Coach, .driven by Lowe, which left town about two, and arrived at that part where the road passes Widdington lane about seem Pallet, it iatsaid, was seen near the coach when Mr. Mum ford left it, and was particularly sexless in his ieeptriet. CONFESSION OF JOHN PALLET. enaLlitsroltO, FaMAT. • John Pallet, the prisoner committed under the Coroner's warrant for the Commission of the above atrouious offence, arrived in town last night. He was brought from Newport in a chaise cart, with Kidmao, who was examined as 4 witness before the inquest, and the constable and gaol:r of Newport. Hir hands were confined with hand cuffs, and bis person was otherwise secured. Throughout the journey he exhibited a mixture of hardened villaiay, and a. strong disposition to avow the deed. At length, as be ipproaebed Chelmsford, the latter feeling prevailed ; although *ere was still no manifestation of regret for what he had done., He male 1 declarations which betrayed the rear state of the fact ; and on arriving in front of the Court. house, which he at once recognised as the place- of his trial, be expressed a wish to see Mr. Hall, the at torney for the prosecution. Mr. Hall was at the Saracen's Head I no,and immediately came out and went to the side 9f the earth) which the prisoner sat. The prisoner then addreebt ed him, and said, " Mr. Hall, there Is no use in denying it; I murdered Mr. Momford." He then went on to detail the particulars. He stated his previous hostility to Mr. Momfocti for having pounded his pigs, and having had him finer, ht. for being drank. On the night of the warder he was on the road when the Walden coach arrived, and heard Mr. Melt' ford's name mentioaed; he then resolved to put hii sanguin ary intentions into execution, end went to a place which he described, and cat the stake which he afterwards used to effect his diabolical purpose. Mr. Stamford, who was a very small man, git years of age, and extremely short sighted, prooeeded down the lane, towards his father's haws, and witlaa Slice which he had borrowed was feeling his way; when the pri soner first saw him, he had advanced some dispinee. bet he soon overtook him ; he was then about to strike the fatal blot, but his heart failed him, and he denoted ; Mr. Mainfir hearp some perion near him, het from the defect In'his v41°11,1141 thit darkness of the night, he could not see who it wee ; he, holes'''. asked.ia a tone of alarm, " who's Caere?" the prischer made tie answer, bat stood still, and withheld his breath; Mr. Maalox/ then again went on; and the prisoner by • short cut Wiroueb a field got before him, and stood by a gate, ready once pore to strike; his heart again mi wive him, and be again desisted,; Mr. Mustard went on to the spot in which his body was felt • s en by Mr. Smith, sod thither the prisoner followeditim, and made finally a desperate blow at his bead with the bludgeon. which knocked off his bat ; with a second blow he felled him elv thelground, sod then, by repeated stroke., literally smashed bis skull to atoms. Having thus accomplisieed his dreadfdl purpose, be retired a short distance from the scene df slaughter, and resolved to run away; bat overpowered by the consciousness of his villainy be became as It wee rivetted to the spot, sod bad not rise power to move one foot before the ether, his eyes being still directed towards the body of his victim. In this state, in the retired part of the road, be 'remains - I till Mr. Smith came up ; litfas• him approach the body and ride away ; but still be did WC more.
