A7RTII Eft DIYCOVRRIES IN AFRICA, BY SIGNOR BELZONI. The following extract of a letter from the Lyle. hrated traveller Batons, appeared in the Mario di Resta:— " Abont the Istferend or August lint, some sole rlerr of his Highness 'the Viceroy of Egypt, sent try his orders into the moontatos &Jong the coast of the Red Sea to seek fur emeralds, reported on their •seturn, that they had discovered an old city in the reou•ttrhts. A Frenchman, who had accontionned titre, an for exaggenned their accounts, the I airs i•tt!trivil to imagine that this old city was the Be renice of the Ptolemy, once the centre of the Em it/OMS commerce ill 1114114. ** This circumstance determined me to visit the ninu•itains. So hewing quitted the Nile to Coot of EMU, arid traversing the Desert, in an easterly di re..tioti, 1 arrived in ten days at the mountains. I re took as a guide one of the workmen in the emerald mines, and was conducted by him to the wetended Berenice. I was however. rally coo s 'need that this could out be the old city, fur the tactient town did not consist of more than eighty. ...wen houses, scattered in various directions, end of "which the greater p a rt were n ot m ore than ten feet scpiave. Only four were eighteen fret wide. by forty-five in length; and they were for the !aim part built of usiwrought stone, without any r ernent, and all situated in a valley surrounded WI .very tide by very high rocks. A cavity io a rock, covered with inscriptions and figures, 'erred fur a temple. " There were no traces of cultivated lauds. The nearest water was at a distance of 44 miles. The only crmuntruication with the sea was over a mountain 85 miles in length. A broken raid, which could never have served for commerce, led me to else sea, ihe shores of which, rugged and covered with rocks, did not prevent within the space of 60 miles the least protection for ships, nor even for small barks. " These observations, united to the discovery of -nine mines in the environs, persuaded sue that these houses had served fur the old miners, and that the • ity of Berenice could not be very far distant. " These conjectures led me to further searches, and after seven days travelling towards the south, I discovered the ruins of an ancient city, situated near the cape called Lep4 Extreme. This cape extends more than 40 miles to the east, and forms a vast bay which protects vessels against the north and north-west wind.. lie front of the town is an excellent harbour, where ships of small dimeusioor may find shelter. " The city is surrounded by • semicircle of mountains, which extend from the north-west to the southern shore. Beyond the town and moun tains we discovered a vast plain. the land gradually r sing to the foot of other mountains. This plain s: covered with sand and earth proper for vegetation. Died is deeply saturated with the water which flows from the mountains iii the rainy season. We found some wells in the neighbourhood of the city, but the niter was a little bitter, which prevented the camels from drinking it. " In the centre of the town we found an Egyp tian temple, with hierogiyphics and figures. It is nuique in this situation. for we have never heard of ancli temples on the shores of the Red Sr.. We counted more than 3,000 houses, not in cluding some detached and situated at a certain distance. Estimating five inhabitants to each horse, the population of this city umst have amounted to 15.000 souls. •* The materials of which the buildings are com posed are of a singular nature. Coral and other beautiful perrfartions terve instead of stone, as .01 in walls as iu private houses. Not a atone ass ttt be seen in the town or its environs, even to the (.or of the mountains, which are seven miles distant. The temple alone is built of calcareous earth. We cm some fragments of Egyptian inscriptions, accompanied by - hieroglyphics and figures. We also remarked, in the ruins of the houses, some Egyvtisn and Greek fragments. ** The inhabitants discovered by the soldiers, are at a distance of four days journey from the town. I have made • topographical chart of the place ; but constrained by the want of provisions, I re traced my steps, and again saw the Nile after about fifty dip. 1 still preserve the intention of return to those places to make mole detailed obsetvia luau., and perhaps souse new discoveries."

Mr. i7eirmemaLL said, such an inahniation was not war. ranted, and lie liras sorry it had fallen from his [Aaron' Friend, as it would make it necessary fur him to enter more folly into the case than be intended. The L4k Csiewcemet- 1 -" It is clear that a per eon marrying a ward of Curt, ',limber male or female, le guilty of a contempt of Court, if it is done without its consent. Therefore it is tie duty of the Court to order this ”sung lady who has so offended to appear before it, *long with all the odor parties conceived." Mr. WITHICRELL thee stated, that the ward of Court was only 19 year. u( age, Ned heir to estate of 3.0001. per an_ nom, and the young lady was 17 years of age. The hill was filed on the 11th of December, making !dr. Deane a ward of Corsa, and the elopement took place on the 14th ; and ostler, lime day his Lordship issued an order of injunc tion to sr...train Sir. snit Mrs. Staples from perm . g any intercourse between the ward and their daughter, hot it Iraq nut served on thews until the 16th. 'Else application for the order was granted un the affidavit of Mr Carr, the Solicitor, Petting forth, that the ward was the only son of the Rev. 11'illiato Deane. of Devoushire, dr.-raised, and that he was earryieg on a correspondeore with Sarah Elizabeth Staples, the daughter of Lures's° Staples, of Hanover-street, Hummer plume, with the intention of marrying her. Mn.a Deane, the mother of the ward, had written to Mr. Staples on the 1,11 ..1. 14 . Plating that s h e would never give her consent to the m %relate while her son was a minor, and requesting that Mr. Staples would forbid the visits of her son to his house, Mr. Staples answered this letter, saying, that he had only given his consent to the marriage condition idly, and that be would never be mean enough to allow his daughter to marry without the consent of all par ties interested; bet that be could not think of forbidding the visits of the ward as long as he conducted himself with honour and propriety. Mrs. Deane then took the ward to Hastings with her, ote finding that banns of marriage had hero publirlitd in St. Pancras church, where they were stopped by Mr. Carr. On Sunday the 12th, the ward left Hastings, pretending that be was going to Easibourn os a shouting parte, instead of which he came up to London, and eloped with Mists Staples on the night of the lith instant. The affidat it of Mr. Carr theta stated, that on the night of the elopement lie received intimation of it at one o'clock, from Mr Staples, and on the following slay he saw that Gentle man, when he informed him that at half-pas: eleven o'clock his slaughter left his drawing-room to light the ward down stain, and 011 her not returning immediately, her mother went down stairs to look after her, and found she was missing, on ohich ;she alarmed the whole of the family, and learned (torn the cook maid that they had eloped and taken the northern road, on which he (Mr. Staples) scat his two sons in a chaise sod four in pursuit of them, but without success. The Learned Commiel then stated the affidavits of Mr. and Mrs. Staples, explanatory of their cnudnrt, and which stated, that Ilse attachment of the ward and their daughter commenced at the Moser of Mrs. Deane, where the young holy was too a visit. He then said it was nut his iu teatime to ground any special motion, but Mrs. Deane thought it was haw duty to bring Mr. and Mrs. Staples before the Camel, fur his Lordship to deal with theta for the contempt of Court as be should think proper. Mr. DOWDMIWILLL followed. Mr. H is, defended the conduct of Mr. and Mrs. Staples, and conteoded that they had acted wish all the caution in their power; and so far from con niving at the elopewsent, t►ey were much distressed at it.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, TUESDAY, Drcuista 21. ■OBEY r HOWARD. This was an action broughtbythePlaintiff, Mr. Robey, against Edwa►d Dusan!, a mosey-ecrivener and annuity. broker, to recover the sum of 3151. placed by him in the hands of Howa►d. oil the 11th November 1800, (*elite pur pose of being kart on steamily. The Plaintiff had received the amount of the annuity (4SI. pi r annum) fur three slicer*► sive years; hut the security se which the annuity had been raised proving defective, be bad been unable to procure sea , further payment. The defence art up Mr. Glat3IFY was, a partnership said to have existed at the time of the mosey being advanced between the Defendant and au stitiroey, of tile same of Dingle, sod that the action was, therefore, not maintaina ble its its present form as against the present Defendant only. Malty witticism were called on lath aides, and the book', said to be those of the partnership coseern, were produced. The teault of the evidence appeared luipubstantiate the exist ence of a partnership at the period in questitm between the Defeudaot and Diggle, under circumstances of a very pecu liar nature. The Defendant, it seemed, was a conveyancer, but not an attune) , ; and for the convenience of the law proceedings arising out of his business of annuity broker, found it ex pedient to have an attorney in bin office. He therefute pro. cured the assistance of Digit', who was an attorney is hum ble circommances, nod had a deed of partnership drawn up between them, which, however, was sever executed, whereby the Defendant was to receive three.fourihs, and Diggle one. fourth of the profits arising from the law proceedings to which the mosey.brokerage business might give rise; but it did not appear that Diggle was to have may share of the benefits of the mussily busier's. It further appeared, that the Defendant bad, subsequeatly to the date of the deed of partnership, been articled as clerk to Diggle ' and upon the dissolution of the peetossaltip had procured the assistance of smother attorney to whom his articles of clerkship were assigned by Nile. Several witnesses proved that they had transacted bonu ses with the &me of Howard and Diggle and always sup. Cnawed them to be partners; seem& tuber; proved that Ihry bees engaged is transactions with Howard without any ✓eference to Diggle, mid without any knowledge or idea of sap partnership between them; and it appeared from the mairmilmoh gives by the Defendant to the Plaintiff, in which amenities of the payments were made, sad in which the name of Howard only appeared, that the Plaintiff had ou intima tion whatever of the existence of any partnership, and that be had advanced the gooney on the single credit of Howard. Mr. SCMILIVIT for the Plaintiff, in reply, neatly and pointedly observed on the dexterity of the Defendant, who had contrived to secure himself by a double defence to nu, action which might he brought, by proving in case of an action like the present against himself sillily, an existing partnership between himself and some other person; and in case of as actio• against the partnership inn, be 'night defy the Plaintiff to prows the partnership (himself with. holding the books mid eked. which he had oat the present occasion produced), sad might adduce a set of witnesses with whom he bad trammeled Mishima is his own name sad ea his wale reepossibi lily, to rebel and negative the idea of mei a partnership. He treated, however, to the sagacity and jostles of a jury fur defostiog such schemes, and anti cipated their verdict in favour of his chest.
