Henry • Benjamin Warner was indicted for keep ing two bull-dogs in his possession, knowing them to be dangerous and ferocious animals. The circumstances of the case as detailed by Mr. ALLEY, were shortly these :—Some months before the occurrence which gave birth to this prosecution took place, the defendant, who is a journeyman gold beater, took lodgings at the house of Mr. Peel, the prosecutor, whose wife kept a school for small chil dren. When bargaining about the lodgings, the de fendant asked Mr. Peel if he would have any objec tion to his keeping a bull bitch, which was with young, on the premises. Mr. Peel replied, that, he certainly had a most decided objection, as he had two small children of his own, and his wife kept a school. The defendant then said that he would keep the bitch elsewere, but he hoped Mr. Peel would not object to hiskeeping two puppies in the yard. The prosecutor said if they were so youne• they might be kept chained in a kennel in a shed which stood in the yard, provided the door was kept locked. Upon these conditions the defendant came to the lodgings, brought the puppies, but. neglected to lock them up, as he had pro mised to do. One day, when the dogs were about seven or eight months Old,. .Mrs. Peel was alarmed by the scream of her little boy, who was about four years of age, and upon running to see what was the matter, she found both dogs furiously worrying the unfortunate child upon the stairs. They were lacerating it about the head and throat in a dreadful manner. Upon Mrs. Peel, who had her other child, only six months old, in her arms, running to the poor little sufferer's assistance, one of the dogs attacked her and knocked the baby out of her arms upon the floor. The dog smelled the baby all over, and turned it over with its nose upon its face, but did not bite it. It then returned, and re sumed its attack -upon the other child, and the wretched mother being unable to rescue-it from the tenacious fangs of the ferocious animals, snatched up the baby, and ran for additional succour. At this momenta man named White, who was passing along the - street . , rushed in to save the child, and by press ing on the .back of the dog which had hold of him, he succeeded in rescuing the child, upon which the dog seized him (White) by the_thigh, and bit,him severely. .He drew -the.dog out, however, into the street,, where it was killed. The poor child was all over blood, and on examination was found to have received no less than one and twenty wounds in the, face, bead, throat, &c. Mrs. Peel immediately in sisted on having the other dog killed also ; but the defendant, exclaiming " 0, my poor dog," snatched it up in his arms, and attempted to walk off with it. Mrs. Peel, however, seized hire, . and demanded that the dog should be destroyed. The defendant told her he would give her a guinea and pay all expences if she would not require the dog to be killed ; and upon her declining the offer, he disengaged himself from her hold, and rail away with the dog, but was pursued by a constable, and taken in the house of a friend, into which he turned. He had admitted to the prosecutor that he kept theso dogs for fighting. The Jury found the defendant Guilty. The CHAIRMAN censured the conduct of the de fendant, in allowing his dogs to remain at large, after his promise to keep them chained up, and now en deavoto ing to shift the blame of that misconduct froM his own shoulders upon those of the injured prosecutor. He asked Mr. Peel at what sum he estimated his expences ? The prosecutor replied, 181., including medical at tendance, and dressing twice a-day, and the loss he incurred by his wife being obliged to give up her school for six weeks, while she was attending to the child. The CHAIRMAN observed, that that was a very moderate sum. As the object of the prosecution was not a vindictive one, the judgment of the Court was, that the defendant should pay a tine of 35/. 3 with liberty to speak to the prosecutor. The defendant stated, that he could only pay a portion of the fine at present, but offered to give the prosecutor good security for the remainder. The CHAIRMAN said he had nothing to do with that ; but he dared say the prosecutor would not ob ject to good security. He then cautioned the de fendant against indulging in this kind of taste; and said he would find that breeding bull-dogs for right ing was a dangerous employment. Mr. PHILLIPS said, it was a pity that some of the titled b all-dogs, who encouraged this ferocious species of amusement, were not prosecuted and made ex amples of. That was the only way to check the evil. FERNANDO- PO: SEVEN DAYS' RESI • to wash, a boy was despatched with calibasima to fetch it. The natives were exceedingly surprised to sae my ablutions, as they never wash themselves. — I then made them comprehend that I wanted to wash my clothes; upon which they took me to a brook, where I performed that operation, and hung my garments on stakes to dry; they were not touched 'ill day. I walked about to several huts, and, like the people themselves, was quite at home wherever I went. Made signs to Canning as we passed along, where a fowl was tied to a hut, that I wished to have one; he said something to the inmates, and carried it to another• hut, where the king and a num ber of chiefs were assembled. They had got a kid, which they were about to kill. Two of them held it up by the legs, and the king cut its head off, and then smeared the blood about the chiefs. A priest in the company wis preaching all the while but when the decapitation was over, the body was given to my friend Canning to skin, which he managed very speedily, cut the kid into pieces, and laid them before the fire. The priest presented a piece to each, which they put on the fire, entrails not ex cepted, and all was consumed indiscriminately.. One of the king's wives came to the priest and sheaved her Wrist : he took hold of it, and pinched it very hard for a time, and then motioned as if he had extracted something from it and charmed the disease away. Rubbing the part with day, this extraordinary and skilful cure was completed. At the king's hut I had some yams and part of the fowl for supper; the rest I brought away with me. Near this place is a large piece of clear ground, used, as I understeod, for general assemblies- of the natives. Sunday, 11th. —Went with Canning more into the town than I had been before, and, to my great surprise, saw a child, not exactly white, but of a pale yellow colour. The moment he caught a glimpse of me, he ran and hid himself in a hut, seeming to be much more frightened than the other childreti. Canning took me further up the hill to s another patch of huts, where I suppose he lives;, a mess of yams and greens being brought to him as soon a.; he was seated. After he had eaten his meal, lie went to another hut, and took down a calibash, in which were some bracelets, and into this he put his knife. They were very anxious to have my knife; one old woman, in particular, cominued teas ing me the whole time I was thereouid would have given any thing for it. We staved a good while, and then returned the same road we came, followed by women and children shouting. We stopped at 4 hut, situated about midway, which I believe belongs to the old chief that visits the ship; in this were hung.up one of the hats and cloaks presented by Captain Owen. An elderly man came in, and gave me three yams; as I was hungry, I told them to dress one for me. After finishing my repast, we went to the king's hut, where a .party was eating yams : in fact, from siwereio to peasant, all live on them : it is a great rarity to them to have a kid or goat. We then adjourned to another hut, in which the inmates were engaged in roasting a rat, and an animal of the badger kind, but much smaller. They were cooked whole, without skinning, and then hung up ; not being intended to be eaten that night. I did not see any palm-wine in the town to-day, there fore suppose it had been sent to the ship ; but the women brought a good supply in the evening. The king soon after. left the assembly, and was quickly follow,ed by Canning; the chief in whose hut I slept, took me home also. - On the road I saw two white children (Albinss)—one a boy, the other a girl. Monday, 12th.--I was now so sick of yams that I could hardly touch them ; the king sent boys out, after - a consultation, to catch a fowl for me, which they did, and having brought it in, plticked it eritirel‘- like Plato's man, and only killed it on my making signs for them to do so. They were then going to broil it whole, but I had it cut up, and gave them the entrails for their pains. The rat was also 'roast ed again, and they pressed me much to partake of it, but I made them believe that Captain Owen would cut my throat if I did, so they ceased to per secute me. On walking out, after thk, I saw a' white woman (another Albino)—a fat hideou; figure. She walked away immediately. I again went to the brook to wash my clothes. A. great many children came to look at me, and one little fellow approached and helped me to wash. When I had finished, I spread out myclothes before, the hut. The chief told me the king wished to see me; so I carried my papers to his hut, and wrote a little, which I explained to him was intended to be read. A lamb was then brought in, and some of it roasted ; part being hung up for me to carry away they ate it without vegetables, but a piece of yam which I left in the morning was given me ; and they, began to see that I like meat and yam together. We had plenty of palm-wine, and I was presented with a small calibash to take home. Tuesday, 13th.—Breakfasted on the lamb and some yams; and afterwards went to the king's hut. I roamed about by myself a good deal to-day ; but durst not go fir from the huts. I was left. in the charge of a stupid old man, who sat singing to' himself the whole time. I had nothing to eat during the remainder of the day, till the chiefs came home : I suppose they had been hunting, as they brought in two young deer. Wherever 1 went, was sure to have a score of women and children, lowing me ; but if I offered to turn round, they all ran off directly. Wednesday, 14th.—After walking a little way, [ saw some persons within an enclosure ; they prove: to be the king and a number of chiefs, and wo digging up the ground with large stakes ; fo ur o f them thrust their stakes into the soil, and then "prized" it up : they did not dig up the whole, but only the spots they intended for planting. About noon they left the place, and I could not learn Ivhat they were going to set. [lt was afterwards rather solemnly intimated by his sable Majesty, in a Court of Council, that a great many knives would be very acceptable ; and our friend was dis • missed. On the morrow he set off, accompanied by se veral chiefs; and on the 15th reached his ship in perf.rt safety. We have other journals of this kind, which we shall abridge for insertion.] (From the Literary Otizette.) Thursday, Nov. B.—Walked a long way up the mountain in company with some of the natives, and at length came to their huts—mostly square buildings, with the sides of split wood, interwoven with palm leaves. The fire in the centre is kept up during the night as well as the day. My new friends were very harm less : one carried my hammock ; another my bag, which they kept feeling to ascertain if there were any knives in it, the objects of their great desire. The path was slippery and fatiguing, but they as sisted me in every way they could. The hut in which I slept was about five yards square, and very dry and clean. For supper 1 had some yams : my companions had a dish of greens chopped up with some fruit and oil, which I thought very nauseous to the taste. After supper, I went to bed and slept awhile, when I was awakened by persons coming in. No women slept in the hut ; and after eating some roasted yams, the new visitors lay down and went to rest. Friday, 9th.—By daylight the natives were stir ring, and one of them, I believe a priest, began to make -hideous noises, while all the rest crossed themselves in different parts of the body. After this ceremony, he gave them clay wherewith to rub themselves. An old woman then brought in some boiled yams in a basket, and some greens in an earthen dish, which the host served out. They ap pear to feed sometimes in one hut, and sometimes in another. When any individual enters, nothing is said to the intrusion : whoever comes has a share of the feast offered to him. . • After the yams were eaten, the native who parti cularly accompanied me, and whom I called Can ning, took rile to the king's hut, which was larger than that in which I slept, but not enclosed. • The king and a number of his principal chiefs were seated round, as were also his wives and children ; and they all shook hands with me very cordially. There were twenty and sometimes thirty natives in the hut, for the weather was very rainy ; and we had yams five or six times during the day. The king's wives and families slept in half-a-dozen . adjacent huts. There was no sign of poultry or meat (fowls or sheep) ; hut towards evening a large rat was brought in, and roasted entire, without skinning, or cleaning of any kind. I was glad to say adieu before it was priest r e p eate d hisreligious de voured as a dainty. The p resents of axes and i ron from Captain Owen to his Ma j est y were shew n with much parade; and I was im p ortuned to brin g knives drinkingAt chty lig f h r t ee t l h y e of topy and pieces of iron w hen I renewed my visit. I re turned to my old ab ode to slee p . S (palm wine.) In an hour , a woman brought seven or e ight pieces of yam, and part of the rat, which the king had specially sent to me. I gat credit by hand ing Saturday, it over to my friends. Making signs for water agony, expired, suffer.

It is, however, conjectured that it was occasioned by the incautious use of naked lights by some of the persons who brought the M P H their dinner.

ADDRESS OF TILE PORTUGUESE NOBILITY' TO THE REGENT, DON MIGUEL, PLAYING HIM TO TAKE TILE CROWN OF PORTUGAL AND ABOLISH THE CHARTER. The undersigned members of the Nobility, for themselves and as the representatives of their body, approach, filled with the greatest respect and regard, and beseech your Highness to be pleased to accede to the wishes of a whole nation, that desires, and requires to see your Highness seated on the throne of your August and Royal Predecessors, and which, Lesides, according to the fundamental laws of this Monarchy, in strict right belongs to you. The Nobility of Portugal always were, are, and ever will be, the firmest support of the Throne. At all periods, even the most memorable recorded in history, they have given the most decided proofs of their honour and fidelity; and at this particular juncture they cannot fail to take an active part in the momentous affair of general interest which at present agitates the whole nation. The Nobility, therefore, have the honour to mani fest to your Highness the necessity of carrying your pure and loyal desires into effect, by submitting to you that the most sure means of realizing them, and also the most conformable to your Highness's dignity, as well as to the fundamental laws of this Monarchy, is the immediate convocation of the three Estates of the realm, done according to the ancient usages and customs, in order therein to treat, in a legal manner, of a matter of the highest importance, - which is, solemnly to acknowledge the legitimate rights of your Highness to the Crown of Portugal and the dominions thereof; and to abolish what is called the Constitutional Charter of the Por tuguese Monarchy, because it was given by a Mo narch before he had been sworn and acknowledged by the nation as King of Portugal, and which essentially altered the form of the succession of the kingdom, contrary to the fundamental laws of the same. To the high wisdom of your Highness the Nobi lity confide the glorious end of so just and blessed an undertaking, for the general welfare of the na tion, and in the mean while it only devolves upon them fervently to pray, and confidently to hope, that your highness will be graciously pleased to ac cept their wishes kindly, and provide an early re medy to their supplications.

Extract of a letter dated Paris, May 24.-- " There has been a current rumour here that the Duke of WELLINGTos has resigned. The Liberals here were quite rejoiced at the rumour, but to-day they appear doubtful as to its truth. I merely mention the existence of the rumour, and the sensation that it creates, for the purpose of showing how warmly the Liberal party feel disposed towards the memb ers o f the late Administration in England. There is no news of the slightest interest to-day from Spain or Por tugal. From Constantinople there are commercial letters of the 2Gth ult. They state that the SULTAN has borrowed a large sum of money froM the Vice-roy of EGYPT, and that he is unremitting in his endeavours to resist the Rus sians; but well-informed persons say he has net the slightest chance of success. Nearly all the French Officers in his service have announced their intention of quitting, and se veral have already left. Although the expedition to the Morea is suspended, it is announced that the French Go vernment has no intention of retracting any of its profes sions in favour of Greek independence. All patio; are agreed on this point." FIGHT BETWEEN WARD AND' CARTER, FOE FIFTY POUNDS ASIDE, AT SIIEPHERTON RANGE, TUESDAY, MAY 27. These gems of the Ring prepared to exercise their fistic talents for their own advantage, and the enlightenment of 'the civilized world, this day. Jem Ward, it is well known, is a miller of the first class, and nearly the first of his class. He has been training at Ilford, in Essex, and arrived on Sunday at Shirley's, Staines, with all his blushing honours thick about him. Carter is an hero of the olden times. He is a large man with an overwhelming share of confidence and a big head. He has been living on his Majesty's bounty by the sea side, and preparing himself for the " glorious struggle" for more years than one.— Jem had objected to fighting for so small a sum, but he at length acceded, on Carter's requesting it as " a particular favour." Carter was known to be a good left-handed hitter in his day, and a terrible faster for wear and tear. His consti tution, however, was, it was supposed, gone. In his best days he has been the strongest man of his time on his legs. He could rim ten miles in clogs quicker than any mita ever , known. Ward has been too often before the public to need any comment. Great difference of opinion existed among the fancy, and three to ore was offered by roam. on Ward and taken. Chertsey was the place first named but Shepherton Range was ultimately fixed on, and thither the fancy departed. Ward first threw his castor into the ring; he was ac companied by Phil Sampson end Dick Curtis. Carter soon followed, attended by Tom Oliver and Young Sam. Both men seemed in good condition, Ward's countenance was " reserved and thoughtful," and Jack smiling daggers. lie looked certainly better than could have been expected of a man 10 years older than Ward. Tom Spring was appointed umpire. for Carter, and Peter Crawley was chosen for Ward. The referee being regularly invested, the men set-to at 20 minutes past one. On stripping, the men looked as well matched in make, .size, and fine symmetry as could' possibly be imagined. The fine chests of both were re markable. Ward was as fine and firm as he could wish to be. Carter, on the contrary, seemed soft, flabby, and al together unlikely to go through a protracted contest to victory. Rouxn 1. Carter stood with his hands well up. Both cautious, 301. to 101. Ward feinting; the other cautious, both seemed in the finest condition, and manceuvred for some time without hitting. Carter feinted and jumped away. The combatants were certainlv two of the finest made men that ever were matched. Jem creeping* and Carter carefully sparring. Jon hit left and right but was stopped cleverly; they then bustled into a rally, and after some light body blows both fell together. 2. Carter, anxious to begin, was followed, after a feint by Ward, who hit out, and caught his head with his left hand, and jobbed away well with his right, till Carter fell under.—(lo to 2. "Jem has got him.") 3. Ward working upon the offensive ; Carter showed first blood from the mouth. Carter in the corner feinted, and jumped out. He then got in again, and stopped Ward's. one two well. Carter seemed like an old woman in a fall ing struggle, and was thrown over Ward's shoulder. 4. Carter bleeding terribly from the mouth and piping, Carter tried- twice with his left, but was stopped well both times. Jem then crept after him, and after some sparring Carter let fly and was stopped, and hit up well by Ward, who threw him over his head again heavily. It was evi dently all over with Carter, who could neither hit or throw Ward. 5. Ward stopped Carter's left well, and bit out, which was stopped by Carter, who returned short. Jem hit well up in Carter's face two or three times, but received one on the head. Jem anxious—Carter steady. Heavy counters, both told, but Carter bad the worst' They had now fought fifteen minutes, Carter was groggy, and Jem quite firm. They went to work, and Jem, after bitting bins up well several times, in a scramble at the ropes got Carter under. 6: Carter had drawn Jem's cork in the last -round :-- long sparring—Carter bled profusely from the mouth, and was much annoyed by it ; they scrambled into a rally, and Ward as usual hit up and fibbed till Carter fell. Carter seemed to have less all his fighting capabilities while away front the ring, as he,was now as awkward as an old wo man. He was now quite weak, and could not hit with either hand. 7. Jens Ward in again, every blow told, and Carter hit up, who did not seem to know what he was at, fell weak ; 20 to I was now offered ; Carter's left eye, which had re ceived most of the last hits, was black in a second, and nearly closed. Ward had not a scratch. lie certainly fought well, but he had nothing against him. S. Carter went in with alit, which missed its destina . . tion. Jem hit up every time Carter hit. The latter fol lowed Ward across the ring, who kept hitting him, till Ward fell from missing the other's head. 9. Both warm; Jem followed Lim into the corner, and then twice jobbed clean with the left hand. Carter then went in, after sonic sparring, and was, as usual, caught and hit up till he fell weak and smothered iu his own blood. 10. Cries of " take him away," as it was seen that Carter had no chance. Ile again went in, and was re peatedly jobbed, till his left eye was quite gone. Jem then hit left and right straight. Carter scrambled to get away hut fell dead beat. 11. Carter green am] shy ; Ward jobbed him twice, was stopped once, and caught hold of, but twisted Carter down .on his back on the ropes, and the latter fell weak. 12. Carter could not hit, he seemed like a child at out. fighting with Wird, who got him to the ropes. They rallied. Jem caught him several up hits with the right, and then shifted him over, and hit up with the left, till Carter, who seemed completely puuled and stnpifird, fell like a log. 13. Carter bad no chance whatever ; still, however, he would tight on, and•met his man bravely, but fell weak again from some powerless hitt. 14. While Carter was on his second's knee, Tom Spring and Peter Crawley entered the ring, and tried to persuade Carter to cut it, as he bad no earthly chance but that of losing. Ile was, however, too game to give in, and was again tumbled down by Jem, " more in sorrow than in anger." 15. Carter would not leave off, and again presented himself at the scratch, when Ward merely pushed him down.—(" It's all up—Why don't you take the poor fellow away ?") 16. Ward in this round hit him slightly, and he fell as before. " Worse and worse." 17. Spring again entered and begged of his seconds to take Carter away, but they would. not, and Ward finding his humanity thrown away, let loose and floored him,— Well-a•day !" Is. Carter got up at the call of time, anti was stagger. ing towards the scratch, when he was stopped, and his se conds gave in for him. The fight lasted thirty-two minutes, REMARKS. Ward left off almost without a scratch, while Carter was literally cut to pieces, by the finishing upAits of Jew. The latter seems to have lost all the fighting points that be ever had, namely—hauling at the ropes—quick left-handed hitting, and power of wear and tear. Ward never lost a chance of putting in his tremendous up-hits when Carter caught hold of him, and those hits wou him the battle.— Carter could use neither hand in hitting, in fact, it seemed as if be could do nothing. He frequently stood with his left guard close at his body and consequently never stopped Ward's right hand. There were many persons who said that he did not do his best to win, but we have no hesita tion in Saying, that without accident, be never could have beat the fine fighting of Ward, whose modern tactics must beat all the old ones. The ring was well kept, and t h e attendance numerous and respectable. . I L . o stl i \ , al d b L Established Church. 1 . ) n, Three .. t of e f the li e ,, .
