The Lieutenant stated, that about two years ago he captured a Spanish vessel on the. Coast of Africa, filled with slaves. The traffic, judging from the deplorable condition of nearly 250 poor Africans, who were stow away in dozens in the differ ent compartments of the slave ship, appeared to be carried on with less remorse than ever. EVery where on board there were evidences of the most attrocious cruelty. The capture of the ship was hailed with screams of joy. The Africans were brought into Sierra Leone by the Driver, and what is rather extraordinary the slave ship, upon arriving in this country, was purchased by Sir William Curtis, and is the very yacht in which his Worship has been retrievinghis health in other coun tries, and upon which a considerable sum of money has been expended for the purpose of rendering it worthy of the use to which it has been lately applied. Pepel, to whom the rest of the slaves acknowledged subocdination, agreed with the Cap. lain of a British ship at Siurra Lenneecalled the Sarah, to come to England, upon the promise of the Captain either to procure for him an education and a knowledge of British mechanical operations which might render bins an useful member of his Royal Cousin's Government, or to have him conveyed back to his native coutstry. Ile acted as cook on board the vessel dur ing the voyage, but the moment the ship reached this port the Captain turned him off, and refused to perform any part of the contract he had entered into. Fortunately the Driver was in dock at the time, and Pepel, who could not easily forget the services he had received from the crew, presented himself to the Lieutenant, and represented his case and his condition. This gentleman, with the greatest humanity, supplied the unfortu nate Pepel with money, and procured a lodging for bins ; and believing that the Lord Mayor would interfere for the protec tion of the poor stranger, who had been tome from those who were dear to him, detailed the circumstances, without, how ever, pledging himself to the fidelity of the narrative. The Loan MAYOR immediately sent for the Captain of the Sarah to account for the conduct described. The Captain said in his vindication that Pepel was a lazy, idle fellow, who could not be prevailed upon to give any assist ance to the crew, of whom he was one, according to the stipu lation. lie denied that he had promised to do any thing for the African, whose integrity, notwithstanding his birth, there was very ood reason to do u bt; an d h e ca ll e d hi s mate to prove that Pepe was idle, saucy, and dishonest. The African, whose knowledge of our language is confined to a few words, which howev er i s perfe c tly i nte lli g ibl e, h ere said to the m a t e , " You lie." Mate—" I never saw a more worthless fellow or a more saucy one." l'epel—" You lie." The Loan MAYOR told the Captain that nothing could be more cruel than to desert a poor, ignorant, helpless foreigner in such a place as London, where there was no institution that made any provision for him. It was also an act of very gross injustice to this country to throw upon parishes, which had multitudes of their own poor to support, the poor of other nations. The Captain said he had not turned away Pepel, and that he would procure a passage for him in another vessel. He could not think of continuing such a person in the ship on account of his dishonesty. Pepel—" You lie, you dam rogue." The Loan . 31 Aroit—" flow have you ascertained that he is dishonest ?" thathinrisihseomCeapotfaihnissaclidothe however, he returned, got down where they were lying, and would have stolen them s. w l h n en th P e e n p ig el ht 7ent away he left behind e might have a claim for their value, had he not you lie...

The total want of know ledge of our language was surely a sufficient excuse for the use of a terns which often found its way into the highest com- Pa PAe justice of this observation was proved immediately after. it was denied that Pepel was a beggar. The LORD MAYOR told the Captain that a passage must be immediately procured for the African to his own country. his Lordship addressing Pepel then said, " You must go on board the ship which the Captain will procure for you. 'rake care that you do not beg or do any other improper thing, and you must not be uncivil." Pepel—" You lie." It was impossible not to laugh at this verification of the Lord Mayor's remark. His Lordship re gretted that the poor African had but too much reason to make use of the offensive word, with the full import of which it was manifest he was not acquainted. THE LATE FIRE IN THE ClTY.—Kinnersley, the be.sdle of the parish of Ahlgate, stated to the Lord Mayor that Ole want of water upon the occasion of the late tire in the City caused two houses to be totally burnt down, and that for some time the greatest fears.were entertained for the Work-house, which was in the immediate neighbourhood. The inhabitants were now all crying out against the Water Companies, whose gross and fatal neglect was daily producing incalculable mis chief. had not there been a large pool of water in the pre mise of the Work-house, that building could not have been saved. That water was the only water that could be had for a great length of time. In fact none was procured, with that exception, until the houses were completely destroyed. The LORD MAYOR said it was surprising, after the innu merable accidents which had taken place front tire, and the fre quent exposure of the neglect, or the worse than neglect, of the Water Companies, that the lives and properties of the public were still so much disregarded by those who contracted for the supply. He did not know what course to pursue for the correction of such an evil, which, he regretted to say, exposure did not seem at all calculated to remedy. But perhaps the fear of competition mig,ht effect that which humanity'could not ac- cornplish ! Indeed the want of water had excited at this period of whi ms i ca l s p ecu l at i on a s pi r it which w as lik ely to interfere with th e W a t er Coomanies, who having obt a i ne d t h eir differ ent contracts, were ijuite a t ease as to the man ner an d extent of the supply. H e h a d t h e ot h er d ay been re queste d to sanction a new C om p an y propose d to b e f orme d f or t h e express purpose of supplyin g an immense quantity of water in t h e event of fire, to do great injury to the e a n n c d ou tl r w a s g e en w i h en o t 7 w ate c v i , w e o p u ro ld ptitto k n el w y ould perhaps meet with large establishments now so negligent. His Lordship having ascertained that the New River Company were the contractors to supply the Uty of London with water, observed, that there was very serious ground for thinking that a competition ad vantageous to the public would take place. Bo w - STKEET.-111Ewicr1oLY EvENT.--Vesterdar Mr. "l ull, a respect a bl e tra d esman res idi ng at Ch e l sea, and who holds a situation in the Twopenny Post Office, appeared before the Sitting Magistrate, Sir R. F. , and asked if any redress or assistance could be afforded him under the following distress ing circumstances. Mr. Bull stated that he had a son, a tine lad, who in a few days would have been eight years old, and on- Sunday, after dinner the boy requested leave to go into the Park to see the boys ' belonging to the Duke of York's Military School parade or walk there. He refused at first, but after wards a servant of his (Mr. Bull), a young man 20 years of age, appealed to him, and promised to go with and take care of the boy, and he then consented that he should go. The servant, however, instead of taking his son to the Park, went directly south over B attersea-bridge to the fields, and after remaining . - ----- there fur some time got to the river side, where he and ampli cant's son, w i t h ten or twelve others, got into a wherry. I hey had not b een many minutes in the boat when a six-oared cutter approach e d at f u ll spec . , and although called to by person s who saw that an accident was unavoidable if the cutter did not alter her steerage, th e coxswain kept hi s course, and, as was anticipated, came plump against the wherry, cap sized her and threw the whole of the juvenile crew into the, water. Prompt assistance was rendered by several who wit- . nessed the occurrence and th e ma j ority were saved but appli- . cant's son, and a lad of about 15 years of age were drowned.— [At this part of the unfortunate father's narrative his feelings' , overpowered him—he leaned against the table and the tears streamed from his eyes.l--The moment the wherry was upset, the cutter's crew were loudly hailed to assist in saving the poor boys, but the inhuman fellows on board her paid no more at tention to this than they had done to the first call, but rowed away with all their strength. i Sir R.

Sir it linteirE—lt is a most lamentable business; and I pity you, Mr. Bull, with all my heart and soul; but I fear I can afford you no redress. The case is altogether out of my ', jurisdiction, unless you knew the fellows in the cutter, and then perhaps I might do something. As it is you must await the ; finding of the bodies, anti produce whatever evidence you may be able to collect before the Coroner's Inquest. Mr. Bull—Does the law provide no punishment for the con duct of my scoundrel of a servant, Sir Richard Sir R. BIRNIE—No indeed. Mr. Bull—Punishing him, or the cutter's crew, I am aware would not restore my poor child to me; but it might deter other s from similar conduct, and save the feelings of other parents from such a dreadful shock as mine experienced yes terday. The worthy Magistrate repeated that he could give no as sistance at present;_ but fie in a l ow tone a d v i sed Mr. Bull as to the cours e h e had better adopt with a view to the furtherance of justice. MARLBOnOUGH-STREET.—A few days ago the Hon. Capt. Greville, accompanied by some friends, applied to Mr. Roe, the Magistrate, for his advice and assistance in recover ing a horse, which he had been deprived of, under the follow ing circumstances :—Capt. Greville said, that having a valuable horse to dispose of, he sent it for that purpose to the Horse Bazaar, in Portman-street, where it stood for sonic days on sale, anti various offers were made to purchase it ; but none came up to the exact price, below which lie determined not to sell it, namely, 60 guineas. A person of the name of Clemente son, who had previously offered 6W. fo r th e horse, but was refused, called at Capt. Greville's house, and said, that as h e guineas without f ur th er t rou bl e , a nd representin g hi mse lf _____....„, had taken a fancy to the horse, he would give th e s i x ty as a gentleman of fortune, drew a check for the amount A REFRACTORY PRIEST. upon Coutts's Bank, which he gave Captain Greville, and Though the South American Priests have not, the horse was delivered to him.
