Observing their ma nseuvres, the constable took them into custody.— These fellows, he observed, were in the habit of meeting at night at a certain rendezvous in S.

They were committed, as vagrants, to the House of Correction. with havMg committed a forgery. Thomas Herdstield, the officer, who apprehended the prisoner, produced the alleged forgery, which was dated December 14, 1829, and was drawn by tl,r prisoner upon a Mr. John Cunningham, a bookseller, for 101., and it purported to be accepted by Mr. Cunningham, who resides near Carrington's brew house, Mile-end-road.

By RENE CAILLIE. Among the geographical problems which, during the last half century, hare occupied the attention of the world and awakened a spirit of enterprise and adventure, the ex istence of a large and populous city in the heart of Central Africa stands pre-eminent. To decide this long agitated question, various expeditions have been fitted out, but without success. In vain have Houghton, Browne, Horneman, Park, Tuckie, Peddie, Campbell, Gray, Ritchie, Bowditch, Oudney, Clapperton, Denham, and Laing—in vain have Burckhardt, Beaufort, Mollien, and Belzoni endeavoured to remove the veil that enveloped this mysterious city. Of this number Major Laing alone reached the derired goal, but through the barbarous mur der of that officer, the results of his persevering exertions have been unhappily lost to his country. M. Calla is the first European who has been enabled to penetrate to Tiatbuctoo and to return to Europe with full and accurate information respecting this hitherto unkno /ILI capital.

EDMUND CALAMY'S HISTORICAL ACCOUNT of his OWN LIFE and TIMES, now first printed from the Original M.S., including interestiug particulars relative to Lord Shaftes bury, Duke of Buckingba'n, Prince of Orange, Lord Clarendon, Lord Lauderdale, Lord W. Russell, Dr. Til lotson, Dr. Oates, Sir W. Temple, Mr. Hampden, Mr. Baxter, Dr. Burnet, Dr. Sherlock, Hobbes, &c. &c. 4 ' The existence of this work in M.S. has long been known and often adverted to ; and we do not consider that the parties who have had the custody of the papers can be Justified for their long retention of them from the public eye, when they must have known that by printing the memoirs they would have conferred a lasting service on the history of their country. It would not be possible to deny its claim to attention as an authentic record of some of the most curious and important events of our national existence. But when to this Merit it adds the advantage of being exceedingly entertaining and various in its de tails, of abounding in anecdotes of great personages awl in narratives of much interest—we think it likely that Dr. Calamy's autobiography will become one of the most popular books of Memoirs extant, ranking with those of Evelyn and Pepys. As a private history of public events, that is to say, as a disclosure of hidden motives and secret influences, we repeat that we knew of no work of rarer value, and, indeed, it will not henceforth be safe for the historical student to possess himself of the Chronicles of Burnet and of Clarendon, unaccompanied by the corrector of their errors, Calamy."—Literary Gazette. Henry Colburn and Richard lieutley, 8, Now Burling ton-street. A ship called Le Petit Auguste, belonging to Brest, was wrecked last week near Hourtin, in the de partment of La Gironde. Her Captain was found frozen to death in the Downs ; he was dressed, and had a cane under his arm, and gloves o❑ his hands. Two seamen, who had got on shore with him, were returning on board to fetch his papers, when they perceived that he had ceased to live. The fate of the boy who had accompanied the twa4iailers is not yet.known. All the rest of the crew perished at sea. been recommended by the Rev. Mr. Fletcher, that gentleman should be responsible for the value. Herdsfield found in the possession of the prisoner several letters from Bishops, on the subject of his application tobe ordained.—Remanded till Saturday. A young countryman came to the Justice•room to iuform the LORD MAYOR of the success of a sum mons which had been granted to him, in conse quence of his complaint against a certain medical company. He had, it appeared, applied to the company to cure him of a furred tongue and a pain in the bowels, and after having paid the fee of a g►uinea to the Doctor, was told by him that he should be cured for 10!. altogether. lie was in duced, for his health's sake,.to give the money. However, upon going again to the place of cure, he saw another Doctor, he believed the principal, and was told by him that the sum of twenty guineas must be paid for the remedy. This he thought most exorbitant, and he not only refused to pay the amount, but he thought prudent to complain pub licly, and have the money he had already paid, if possible. The moment he presented the summons, the whole of the money was returned to him, and the expenses of the summons ; and the Doctors asked him in alarm, whether he made the applica ticn in a low tone. Sir P. LAURIE highly commended the conduct of the young man, in having made so resolute a stir about his property. GUILDHALL. Wm. Paul, a stage-coach cad, was brought up for re-examination, charged with defrauding Messrs. Clemitt, Evans, and Co., of the New-inn, Old Bailey, by delivering a parcel from Uxbridge, which he had received from the coachman, but which, in the ordinary course of business, should have passed through the complainant's booking-office. The Magistrate held the prisoner, in his own re cognizance, to appear at the next Sessions. A respectable-looking young woman presented herself to swear an affidavit that she had had no connexion with her husband for a certain time past, and that she never would have any hereafter. "'The marshalman said her parents were in good circumstances, and she had been deserted by her husband; but they refused to receive her into the family again unless she made this oath. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said the proceeding was altogether unnatural, and he could not suffer her to make such an oath; and the young woman retired, covered with confusion. BOW-9 ritEET. Since the setting in of the hard weather, the business of this office has been principally confined to applications by paupers for parochial relief. The number of miserable objects that daily and nightly present themselves to the notice of the Magistrates, is said to exceed that of any other winter for several years past ; and the difficulty of discriminating be tween real distress, and that which is assumed for the purpose of imposition, is felt, by the Bench in no slight degree. The severity of, the weather, however, is such, that in general relief is ordered without a too close investigation of the right of the parties to receive it ; but it unfortunately hap pens, that in most cases the orders of the Magis trates are demurred to by the parish-officers; the consequence of which is, that the wretched paupers are refused admission to the workhouses, and are bandied about between the overseers and the Ma gistrates, until the latter are obliged to issue pe remptory orders for the overseers to attend person ally before them to state the ground of their ob jections. The delay occasioned by this mode of proceeding has been the subject of just complaint; and in many instances the miserable individuals who seek relief are compelled to walk the streets for several nights together. In commenting upon this subject a short time since, Mr. HALLS obsei ved, that the poor laws were qtite adequate to the pur poses for which they were framed, but the manner in which they were administered, rendered them in many instances worse than nugatory. A few nights ago two miserable looking females came before Mr. MtssouLL, and begged of him as favour that he would send them to the House of Correction, as they despaired of obtaining admission to a workhouse, and that such was their dread of perishing in the streets, that even a prison would be a welcome refuge. Mr. MINSHULL humanely complied with their de sire, and they were sent as vagrants to the House of Correction, with an order that they should be passed from thence to their respective parishes, when the term of their imprisonment should expire. A case of another description was yesterday brought forward. A police constable found a woman with two children begging in Catherine-street, Strand. She had neither shoes nor stockings, and the legs and feet of the children were also exposed. The sleet by which the thaw was accompanied had literally drenched them, and the wet dripped from their clothing. Notwithstanding their uncomfortable condition, the two children (both girls) wore an ap pearance of uncommon health, and when placed be fore the fire of the waiting-room in the office, frisked and gambolled about as if wholly unconsci ous of their situation. It was remarked that the woman, who claimed them as her children, betrayed very little of the feelings of a mother. She was sullen and insolent, refusing to answer any questions as to whether she had a husband, or where she lived. Upon searching her the shoes and stockings of the children, as well as her own, were found upon her, she having taken them off, the better to excite the charitable feelings of the passengers. The constable declared, also, his belief that the woman, was not the mother of die children, in proof of which, he said, that lie saw, only a few days ago, the younger of the two in the arms of another woman, who was also begging in the Strand. Sir H. Blame said, there was no doubt but that the woman was u regular trading beggar. He di rected that the children and she should be taken care of, until inquiries were made respecting them. Two hulking fellows were soon after brought in, charged with having been found begging . in the Strand. One of them had on a sailor's jacket and trousers, but he, had neither shirt, nor hat, nor shoes, nor stockings. His companion was nearly as lightly equipped, and it was quite obvious that this appear ance of destitution was assumed for the purpose of exciting charity. The constable saw them addressing several gentle men for the purpose of demanding money. One of MARLBOROU GILSTREET. .Tohn Langley and William Langley, brothers, and E.irabelli Langley, the wife of John, were yes terday brought before Mr. ROE, the sitting Magis trate, charged with being concerned in the follow ing robbery, committed at the house of Mr. Jere miah Durant, a respectable elderly man residing in the parish of Gillingham, in Kent, and who holds a situation in Chatham dock-yard. It appeared that the prisoner Elizabeth Langley, who is the daughter of Mr. Durant, was oa a visit for a few days at her father's house about a fortnight ago; and soon after the termination of her visit, and she had quitted the house, Mr. Durant missed, from a private drawer of his, a bag containing upwards of 150 sovereigns, and having no doubt that . his un dutiful daughter was the thief, he had information of the robbery sent to the different police-offices in town, and had a search made after her; but no trace of her could be had at her husband's resi dence, both the latter and herself having removed from there. Accident, however, brought about what direct inquiry failed to do—the apprehension of the suspected person. It appeared that the wife of the prisoner William Langley, a hard-working industrious laundress, who, amongst others who employed her, washed for a Mr. Gorham, a butcher, in Brook-street, Grosve nor-square, called a few days ago on Mr. Gorham, in a state of great alarm and distress, to inform him that, in her absence from home during the day, her husband had stripped her apartments of every article of property in the place, not even having left her a bed to lie on, and that he had also carried off the whole of the linen, &c., that had been given her to wash by different per sons, and amongst them his (Mr. Gorham's) li nen. Mr. Gorham, on hearing this, as much out of pity to thee poor woman who had been thus de serted, as to recover his property, employed Ballard, one of the officers of this office, to look after the fu gitive; and Ballard, ere long, from information ob tained from the poor deserted woman that she had often heard her husband speak of a wish to be at Swan River settlement, traced the object of his pursuit to the Green Man and Still coach-office, in Oxford -street, where he learned that three persons, answering the description of those now in custody, had gone off froe i there the day before, per coach, for Portsmouth, and that they were ultimately to sail in a few days in a ship called the Medina, fur Swan River, but that the whole of the ltiggage re mained yet at the Green Man and Still, to be for warded after them by that night's coach. Ballard immediately gave directions that the luggage should lie detained at the office, and by no means forward ed, as directed, to Portsmouth, and he procured a search -warrant, on the application of Mr. Gorham, to open and search the boxes, &c., in pursuit of Mr. Gorham's property, and, as suspected, on making the search the lost linen, &c., was found. The luggage not having been forwarded to Portsmouth, a letter was received by the proprietors of the Green Man and Still, from the prisoner William Langley, demanding, in a very imperative tone, to know why the luggage had not been forwarded, and commanding to have it sent forthwith, or that he would bring an action against the proprietors for the detention and the loss of his passage-money, 721., which he had paid for the three by the elfedina to the Swan River. No notice whatever was taken of this letter, as the officer directed, for it was not doubted that the prisoners would instantly return to town rather than sail without their luggage ; a►:rl to meet them when they should do so, Clements and Goddard, two other officers, were stationed at the coach-office, with directions to take them into custody, on the double charge of the robbery at Mr. Durant's and that of Mr. Gorham's linen. As was anticipated, the two male prisoners came the next evening to the office, having arrived in town, and while storming away at a furious rate about the detention of their luggage, the officers pounced upon them, and after a desperate resistance on the part of William Langley, secured them and brought them in custody to the office. John Langley, on being then questioned about his wife, admitted that she had gone with them to Portsmouth, but had also returned, and told the officers where they might find her; and his information proving• correct, she was also in custody in a few minutes. On searching William Langley, the officers found on him seventy sovereigns, which, with 72/. paid to the captain of the Medina, which has since sailed, for passage motley, would make about the sum lost by Mr Durant. Mr. Durant, on being informed of the appreher_ sion of the prisoners, came to town, and promised to attend the (examination yesterday; but he did not appear, and the prisouers were consequently re manded to a future day, when Mr. RoE said, if Mr. Durant should not attend, a warrant should be issued to compel his appearance to prosecute. The female prisoner, who is a respectable-looking female, about 40 years of age, denied all knowledge of the robbery at her father's house, as did also the male prisoner, Wm. Langley, who conducted himself in a very insolent manner, alleging that the money found on him belonged to himself. LAMBETH-STREET. A respectable-looking young woman, accompanied by an elderly female, who described herself as her sister, applied to Mr. WALKER for an order to be taken into Mile-end workhouse. The elder female stated that her sister was unfor tunately given to habits of idleness, and had lost all her places. Mr. WALKER asked if the young woman had ever been in the workhouse before ?. On being answered in the affirmative, Mr. WALKER. said, that from the lazy habits of the young woman he suspected that to be the case. He never knew of any case of a young woman who had been taken into the workhouse who had ever turned out to be good for any thing. In considera tion, however, of the respectable appearance of her sister, he would grant her a summons, and get her some temporary relief until such time as she should get a situation, which, when she got, she must en deavour to keep, and think no more of the parish.

Mr. Thomas Allen, a watchmaker in Devonshire street, about nine months ago, hiving a gold watch to repair for a gentleman, and knowing the prisoner to be a Journeyman in the trade, gave it to him to do the 'necessary repairs. The day was specified when it was to be finished, but on sending to the habitation of the prisoner it was found he bad de camped with the gold watch, us well as the watches of several other persons. Mr. Allen had at various times sin ce th e transact i on souq h t Lifiqr the prisoner, but nev er cou ld ga i n any i nte ll igence on• Until Within a few days he saw an account in a news the point, At four o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mr. STIR LING, the Coronet•, and a respectable Jury, assem bled in the pupils'-room, Middlesex Hospital, to in quire concerning the death of Miss Susan Abbott, which was occasioned by the above calamity. Harriet Francis, widow, a lodger in the house destroyed, knew the deceased; she lived in the same house, and attended in the shop to assist Mr, Wild, the owner• of it, in his haberdashery business. On Friday night the witness went to bed about ten o'clock, in the second floor front room. Some time after• she went to bed, she fancied she stnelt a dis agreeable smell in her room ; she got out of bed to see from whence it came, and she thought it was occasioned by the damp weather; she burns a fire in her room in the day-time ; that was gorse out, and she considered every thing was safe, and went to bed again. At half-past twelve, she heard a nose and confusion in the house, and was alarmed with the cry of " Fire I" She opened her door. The place was full of smoke. She went to the window ; but was afraid to jump out, and sotne gentlemen in the street told her to run down stairs : and she did so, and escaped. The deceased slept in the front attic, with her sister. She does not know how the fire originated. The family were particularly careful. George Jackson, jun., of 50, Rathbone-place, composition ornament-maker, (lid not know the de ceased. On Friday night, at 25 minutes after twelve, he was in his drawing-room, and heard screams, and the cry of " Fire l" lie went into the street, and found Mr. Wild's house on fire. He shortly afterwards saw two persons at the • second-floor windows. Some in the street cried " Jump out," others cried " Run down stairs ;'' and in about three minutes he saw a female, apparently about 15 or 16 years of age, throw herself out. There was no balcony. She appeared to come down head foremost, and she fell partly upon the bars of the area gat,, and partly on the pavement. She was dressed in her night-clothes : other persons ran to her assistance. She appeared lifeless, and they carried her away. William Hutton, of 43, Rathbone-place, aucti °neer, knew the deceased by sight; she was about 14 or 15. Ile went to the front of Mr. Wild's house at about the same time as the last witness, and lie saw the deceased leaning out of the second floor window and screaming dreadfully. Some persons called out " Jump down." He told her to stay until ke fetched carpets and blankets, and he went to his auction-room for that purpose,and came back directly with blankets, and she had that moment fallen on her head, and a Mr. M‘Gill, a hackney-coachman, and a policeman picked her up. She was perfectly insensible, and appeared to him to be dead. She was wrapped in blankets, and carried away to this hospital. When the deceased was taken up from the pavement, her head appeared to be dreadfully cut, and the blood flowed copiou•ly from her face and nose, and her limbs dangled about as if broken. The witness added, that he had no doubt she fell, and did not jump from the window. She shook very much with terror before he went for the blankets, and appeared to change very much at the time vinr n be requested her to wait till he came back. A Juror asked whether any of the police were present?—Mr. Hutton answered, " GO or 70, and • they did their duty in a most efficient manner." The house surgeon of Middlesex Hospital said, tire deceased WaS brought in about half-past twelve on Friday night : she had received a very serious injury upon her head, was other wise much bruised, and was quite insensible, and she continued so until she died the next day : her death was occasioned by the injuries inflicted by the fall. The Jury viewed the body of the deceased, and returned a verdict " That she came to her death by jumping or falling front tine window of a house in Rathbone-place, in consequence of the house being on lire." OFFICE OF CLERK OF THE PEACE.-A bill having been sent in to the County Magistrates of Middlesex, by the Clerk of the Peace, claiming a sum of 5561. Bs. tid., in addition to the customary fees of the office, for extra services performed in the year 1827, and such claim being altogether a novel one, it was referred to a Special Committee, who have made a voluminous Re port. The account consists of thirty-nine closely written pages, and is in addition to periodical charges made by the Clerk of the Peace, and exclusive of the fees paid to the Deputy Clerk of the Peace. One portion of the bill, amounting to 498/. '7s. 7d., relates to official services es Clerk of the Peace, and is diasallowed, except a few items amounting to 135/. 10s. 2d. It appears that the actual receipts of the Clerk of the Peace for the year ending on on the 25th Nlarch, 1827, after the payments made there, out for clerks' wages, stationery, taxis, and csthor expences amounttd to 2,088/. 15s. 3d. The Deputy receives two fifths, which amount to 835/. 10s. ld. A daring robbery was committed on Saturday morning last, between eleven and twelve, upon Mr. WILLIAM SALMAN, a gentleman of Peterboronek, about eighty years of age. He had gone to his close near the Bank-road, about half a mile from the city, and while he was in . a hovel therein, getting corn to feed his stork, two fellows rushed in upon him, threw him down, and, one or both of them falling upon him, said, " Now for it." They then blindfolded him with a kerchief, forcing the e.i - Ad of it into his mouth, and proceded to rile. ilia pooketa. He entreated them, as well as he could articulate under such confinement, to he merciful. " Take all I have," said the unfortunate gentleman ;" spare my life, and I wilt say no thing." They then felt about different parts of his clothinz, it is supposed for his pocket-book, which he Ind uo:i about him. He told them to take his watch, 149 t this they did not, contenting thenaelvcs with t 4 boty they found in his purse, about 16s. or 1U They then left their victim, blind folded es he was, and retreated by the door, which they contrived to secure after them, to prevent an imtnOilte pursuit. When Mr. SALMAN recovered fre„;. ; hie aqiiglst he released himself from his br i d:ige, and found his way out of the hovel hy hole which led into an adj Aninz place, and, haying got into the air, he saw two Alen run., ding in oppositedirections. "[Yvon his.serkval ak h ome, hi s son, observing his altered st.ate.

The largest ia dividuals that are met with in the chain of the Andes of Quito, are about 14 feet from the tip of one wing to that of the other, and the smallest only eight. From these dimensions, and from the visual angle under which this lird sometimes appears perpendicularly above our heads, it may be judged to what a prodigions height it rises when the sky is clear. Wlaat seen, for example, under an angle of fair minutes, it must be at a perpendicular distance of 6,876 feet. The Cave of Antisana, sianced opposite the mountain of Chussulongo, and from which we measured the bird soaring, is situated at a height of 12,958 feet ago , e the level of the Pacise Ocean. Thus, the absolute height which the Condor attained was 20,831 feet, an elevation at which the barometer scarcely risen to 12 inches. It is a somewhat remarkable physiological phenomenon, that this bird, which for hours continues to fly about in regions where the air is so rarified, all at once descends to the edge of the sea, as along the western slope of the volcano of Pinchincha, and thus in a few minutes passes ai it y..cro through all the varieties of climate. At a height of 20,000 feet, the air-cells of the Condor, which are filled in the lowest regions, mu't inflated in an extraordinary manner. Sixty years ago Elloa expressed his astonishment at the circumstance that the vulture of the Andes could fly at a height where the mean pre . ssure of the air is only 14 inches. At heights like these man in general finds himself reduced to a most painful state of debility. In the Condor, on the. contrary, the act of respiration appeals to ha performed with equal ease, in mediums where the pressure differs from 12 to 30 inches. Of all living beings, it is without doubt the one that can rise at will to the greatest distance from the earth's surface. I say, at will, because small insects are carried still higher by ascending cur rents. Probably the height which the Condor attains is greater than that which we have found by the calculation mentioned above. I remember that on Cotopaxi, in the Plain of SuNiguaieu, covered with pumice, and elevated 13,578 &et above the level of the aea, I perceived the bird at such a height that it appeared like a black dot. The transparency of the air of mouiltains is so great under ,the equator, that, in the pro vince of Quito,7as I have elsewhere shown, the poncho or white mantle of a person on horse back is distinguishable at a horizontal distance of 84,032 feet. INDIAN BARBARITIES. (From Anecdotes of Americax Indians, by Dr. \W.1..) The dreadful torments which the various tribes of North American Indians were accus tomed to inflict .on their.. war prisoners, are no longer heard of; and this favourable I :bange must be wholly attributed to the spread of Christianity; which; though there arc tribes still unconverted has yet so diffused its divine spirit and influence among the red people, that those cruelties are, I believe, every where disused. I am, there fore, induced to transcribe the account of a scene of this nature, by an eye-witness and a French man, which, though having taken place long since, it may probably be • dis :last that rill be recorded. The Irrekees, or six nations, sup ported, by the English, were at war with the In dian allies of the French at Michillimakinak. A famous Irrekee warrior was taken prisoner in a skirmish, and doomed to the stake. The execution took place in front of the fort, and by order of the commander, the Outiaks, an allied tribe, were invited "to drink the broth of their enemies." A .strong post was fixed firmly in the earth, fires were prepared, and ramrods and old gun barrels were heated. The Irrokee Chief, naked and painted black, was marched into the middle of the circle, singing his' death song. He was fastened to the post strongly, by his hands and feet, yet with liberty to move about, Then commenced the operations. A Pseudh a o ne ) trader seized a ramrod, being made red - hot at one end, a the feet,tiak Chiefanc slw o l t y li uri ; they drew the the insides of irons i the legs and thighs, the victim singing his death i ui across ai' song all the time without flinchi ng ; t h e y then, suddenly applied the bottom of a metal 'on, heated red-hot, to his thighs, rubbing it on his hips and loins, He now shouted out load, that fire was powerful ;upon which the whole assemblage gave a shout of triumph. " Yon a warrior chief, indeed !" they cried, " you shrink from the fire like a child—you are no man !" Au Outiak then made a long slash down his side, anti stuffed the wound with gunpowder, to which he set fire. The prisoner scorched and parched to a cinder, cried out fir water, which was given him, not for his relief, but to enable him to suffer still worse, An Indian with a, scalping knife, now stepped forward and, tore off the scalp, which hung down his neck, whilst another clapped a platter of red-hot gravel on the de nuded cranium. The tortured wretch now lost all his fortitude, and abandoned himself to de spair, attempting to beat out his brains against the post, tits tormenters all the time were shouting with joy, and insulting bins wi th the most cutting railleries. He was thus tortured without the least relaxation for more than two hours; at length when he. became enfeebled and faint, they unloosed him, and said, " Now be off, «e give you your life !" He, bleeding and burnt at eve") , pore and fibre, tumbled about, rising and falling like a drunken man. They drove him towards. the setting sun, the road to the shades, - pelting him with st ones , w hi c h h e had still spirit enough to return on his pursts ess, At length he was crushed to death under a heap of stones, and every one cut off a small, slice of his flesh to be broiled, and thus. to finish the horribh kast.—British Magcnile.
