Extract of a letter from Honitun, dated May 31:--" I regret
to inform you that the contagion of discontent and insuirec-
tion has reached us here, and seems to threaten very serious
consequences. This town has been kcpt in a state of con-
stant alarm the whole of this week, by the attempts of wretch-
ed incendiaries, which have proved but too successful. On
Tuesday night a part of the premises of the White Lion Inn
was discovered to be on tire; and in spite of every exertion four
dwelling houses were consumed, and others much damaged.
The next afternoon an outhouse of Mr. Minnie, baker, was,
with some other similar buildings, burnt down, with a con-
siderable loss of property. Au attempt was also made last
night to burn down the chapel, by setting fire to an outhouse
belonging to it. Yesterday was burnt the house of Mrs.
Hutchinson, about a, mile out of the town. Combustible
preparations have been Sound in others. The strictest cau-
tion is maintained. The inhabitants, under the direction of our
worthy Rector, the Rev. H. A. Hughes, who is a Magistrate,
and whose exertions entitle him to the highest commendation,
have formed a Cenunittc.% this day, to prevent a renewal of
those disgraceful excesses, and to endeavour to bring the per-
petrators to public justice."
We observe with pleasure, from the Durham County Alva-
t iter, that the pitmen belonging to the Collieries upon the Wear
have returned to their work. Forty•eight of the most riotous
have been vonmuitted to the Gaol, New Prison, and the House
of Correction in Durham.

On Saturday the d.iwnward Manche ter Telegraph coach
stopped to waier at the Horse and Groeitt, Kega,irtli ; and
doting the absence of the coachman and guard, the horses
went off full gallop; when a young woman jumped from the
coach-box, and escaped inthurt ; but a gentleman aho sat upon,

one of his knees; one outside, and two inside passengers, kept
their situations, hazarding the deacent of a steep precipice;

On Titesday evening last a banditti, consisting of five or six
men, came to the house of Mr. Midas, near Itathangan,
county Kildare. Mr. and Mrs. Derides, with their steward
anti some other male servants, were then from home. The fel-

fellows, after they had searched the house completely through,

several bottles of algae and spirits; and then, collecting all the
arms of various sorts they could find in the house, ~et the Set-

As a Ountleman was lately angling in the Mill MUT), Win.
cheater, he accidentally threw his tine across a strong white
duck ; which, snildenly miming round, twisted the gut about
her own neck, and fixed the hook of the dropper fly in her ()an
breast. Thus entangled and hooked, she soon broke oil the
gut above the dropper, and sailed dean tho stream, with the
end fly trailing behind her. She hail not proceeded far before
a trout, apparently I lip. weight, took the Hy effectually ; then
commenced a struggle the most extraordinary ever wit.,essed
—a duck at the dropper, and a large trout at the end Hy!
Whenever the trout exerted itself, the terrors of the duck were
very t•onspicuous—it flattered its wings and dragged the fish.
In consequence of violent struggles uu the past of the trout,
the duck evidently gave way, and antlered herself at last to be
drawn under some bushes, where the shortness of the got did
not allow the trout to shelter himself in his retreat, and the
duck to remain on the surface, at the wait time. The duck's
head was drawn repeatedly lee water. By chance, how-
ever, the gut got across a branch which hang downwards into
the water, and the duck taking advantage of the purchase %stitch
this gave, dragged her opponent from his link, mid compelled
him to spew hi head aLase water. Then it became a contest
of life and death ; the trout was in the last agonies, and the
dark evidently in a very weak state; when the gut gave way,
and suffered them to pint each its own way.

th oh;:ect of two c:cpeditior..slitelykt.4 out fruns thiscountry, m:sy at
length be determined.
As the statment of Ilerodoms, that ti:e river Nizer, pitrours an Vas-
two course is eonAnned beyond all doubt, by the rev. arches of Along()
rarh, it has becomc an object of interesting ; ;
c1r,0...ty to ascertain where
it orminnt:s ; a pcin: ltit'...erto involved in obseorily. On this Ite;el %%t-
-rims, opinions have bc:n entertained : one of the oldest, Mooted not
only by sox of the principal geographers of but by VA's-
rill: and Itennel antong them nt alerns, u, that rite Niger has an inland
termination some where is the Eaocrn part of Africa ; and that it is

partly ditatharg.s.l into inland fakes, which h :re no communication with
sea, and ptilly spread over a wide extent or keel country, where it
it !DSc hi sands. or evaporetal by the heat of the sun. This opinion re-
ceive: s certain dear:cot canfilination from the tam and most ant:tenth:
ae:antti respecting that part of Africa in which the Niger it suppostd
to disappear, and which is represented as an immens • tract of &Unveil
country. having several
.p.rmanent la'etts, and hein3 annually over:low.
ad foe three montha during the rainy seawn. Aeanist this hyothesis,
however, several objections have been ur;ed, *chid' art. well deserving
of attention t thee- are founded chiefly on the consideration iif the va,t
magaitede whirl: the Niger must have attained after a course of more
than tat e) rOpaphi:3l miles, end the difficulty of cones•iving w prodi-
ghats a stream to he disrliarged into hil;e3, or evaporated even by an
African sun. To account for such a phenomenon. a great inland sea,
bearing some resemblance to the Caspian or the .\raly appears to he no.
cavity. But, besides that, the exist trice of wi vast a Laxly of water,
srithotit any outlet into the ocean, is itself an improhable circumstance,
sad nut lightly to be adtnitted : such a sea, if it really existed, could
hardly have ramainad a secret to the ancients, and entirely unknown to
the present day.
The sivotel opinion respecting the Niger is, that it terminates in the
Nile. In °thin• words this hypothesis identities the Niger with the great
Western branch of the Nile, cailtal the White 'lien. which D'Anville
traces from a sour:e very far South South-West to its junction with the
Nile near Senraar. The principal. and apparently a decisive objection
against this suppesed junction tie the Niger and the Nile. is gr.:under!
unna a compar.son of the great OK:mince of level between tire bids of
the two rivers; an objection iir,,tted with great force by Major !tunnel,
who considers it entirely decisive of the question.
A third minion respecting the termination Or the Niger. is that of a
German geteirapiter. named Reicard, which was published in the Geo.
eraphisnt: A/At/writ! s fur the month of August, two. Mr. Iteimrl's
typothesis is, that the Niger, after reaching Wangara, takes a direction
towards the South, and being joined by other rivers from that part of
Africa. makes a great turn Pence towards the South-West. and pur-
bib.% its course till it approaches: the North-Eastern extremity of the
arialph of ,:itinea; when it divides, and discharges it ,elf by different
channels into the Atlantic, afier having formed a great delv, of which
the Rio del Rey constitutes the Eastern, and the Rio Tornaeo or Benin
River the Western brunch.
A mare recent opinion. which at present engages a considerable share
of attention. is, that the Niger terminates in the river Congo, or, as it
is sometimes alled. the Znyr. This conjecture was adopted by Mr.
Park in coneervienee of the information and suggestions of Mr. Nina-
well. an experienced African trader, who appears to hay,: been a man
of observation and intelligenee. In support of it the following facts
arc afledged :-Ist, the great magnitude of the Congo River; Yntlly,
the probability that this river is derived f: au remote sources, and those
-considerably North of the equator; idly, the feet that, there exists a
grsat river North of the equator (the Niger), of wide! the tennination is
unknown, and which perhaps may Finn the principal branch of the
Coney.; ithly, this hypothesis derives seine additiorud probability from
the statement of the guide whom Park rook down the Niger from Se-
tnanding. Park, in a letter to Sir Joseph Ranks, spy iks of this person
as one nt the greatest travellers in that part of A fries, seal represents him
as stating, ••• that the Niger, after it posses Krishna, errs eircetly to the
r;glit hand, or the South ; and that he never heard of any person who
had seen its termination. and is certain that it does not end any where
in tlvz vicinity of Xashna or llornou, having resided some time in both
these kingdoms. In reem-trd to the Congo, it appears that Mc. Afexwell,
some time prior to the discoveries of Pat k, had formed a plan for ex-
Outing its course. His scheme was, to cratry mn with him from Eng-
land six supernumerary boats adapted for rowing and smiling, eachi be-
ing of such a size as to be easily carried by thirty poople acre,' the
cataracts, with which the course of the river is impeded. On his arrival
at the coast, he meant to hire about thirty or forty black rowers, and to
Wail up the Congo. with propai arms, provisions, and merchandise in
the dry season:calculating upon an absence from the coast of about ten
weeks. Mr. Maxwell considered this scheme as perfectly practicable,
but was prevented from carrying it into execution by the war of IM.ex,
which made it inconvenient and unsafe fur Mato encumber the deck of
vessel with supernumerary boats.
A ,:ittilar plan is to bet:Mowed by the expedition which lately sailed
fitaiusf.is country, under the direction of (7aptain Tuts :g'. of the navy.
At the same time another expedition, under the wool: el of Alajor
Peddle, is to pursue the same course as tire tinfortumee l'ark; and if
thp opinion of those who suppose that the Niger and the Congo arc the
same river be correct, there is +nine reason to hope the.: the two expedi-
tions may meet. Should this really he the result, in-eh curious infor-
mation may be obtained respecting countries hitherto uncap:tired by
Firopeans; and which, no doubt, contain many prothictions. unknown
even to-dose who have made geography' and natural history the princi-
pal objects of their enquiry.

hours, to finish every mile at precisely 20 minutes after each
hour has struck, ,a) that he can at no one time get above three
quarters of an hour's rest. The ground chosen for the task is

A eirenovelance truly shocking to humanity, and highly dis-
graceful to the parties concerned, occurred on Wednesday.the
29111 ult. Two yalualile horses, carrying 12 stone each, were
matched to run from Elstow, near Bedfoid, to the l'earmek Inn
at Islington, and bark (106 miles) in the shortest possible tune.
They were so cruelly urged beyond their strength, by the nit-
feeling inhuntattit:, of their riders, and other barbarians who
accompanied them, some on relays of horses, that nu their re-
turn one of them dropped and died; having gone about in miles ;
mid the. other, having gone about Mt miles, failed and died the
next day at Ilitchin : the inhabitants of which place, at the
same little that they expressed their titter abhorrence and de-
testation of such a cruel and disgraceful transaction, regretted
exceedingly that the parties concerned in it were cot amena-
ble to the laws of the country for their conduct.

Vauxhall Gardens opened on Monday night for the
season. The Concert was a judicious selection from the
principal Masters ; and, besides the usual strength of
the company, was enriched by the full and insinuating
notes of Miss Mathews, who executed. several airs with
her customary sweetness, force, and judgment. Between
the acts of the Cuacert, Madame Sachi danced on the

tight rope ; but, however adrairublesappeared her exer-
tions at that time, they were alt Nether mlipsed after-
wards by the wonderful activity and courage shd displayed
in ascending an inclined rape, of very considerable height
from the ground, and of great length, and which she ran
up and down with amasing rapidity, amid a blase of
fire-works. The tiro-works exhibited great ingenuity
of device, and were played off with the most brilliant
elect. The Gardens were crowded with persons of ain-

LONDON :
SUND.IY, JUNE 9.

PARIS Journals to the 6th inst. have come to hand.
The meeting of the Diet at Frankfort is post?oned,
difficulties in the final adjustment of the atiltirs of Ger-
many being visible.
The Emperors of Austria and Itissia, and the King of
Prussia, meet at Toplitz on the 15th of July.
The King of Bavaria has rejected the advice of his
Ministers to reduce his army ; on the contrary, he in-
tends to augment it to 100,000 men,
Our private letters of the sth from Paris say, " The
maintenance of this formidable military tbree is entirely
owing to the Councils of Eugene Beauharnois and Prince
Wrede. 13avaria leans more to the side of Austria than
to that of the Northern Powers." The Paris news con-
sists chiefly of accounts of religious ceremonies, and par-
ticulars respecting the marriage of the Duke of Berry.
which will take place on the 17th.
Extract of a Private Letter from Paris, dated
June 5 :
"The letters from Grenoble are far from being satisfactory:
even the Qa fiche:sae of dais morning annotilll'es that the dis-
affected do not cease nai.leadiog the pc:valor!: of the Com-
ttttt nes, by the old talcs of tithes, the ri tom of the fended
system, .S;e. Some of the eril-i:isposed inhabitants of Greno-
ble fired on the Chief of the Cut of that city, and
wounded him slightly. An alert was shortly nisei. urilcied by
General Donadieu. The account of this has appeared in some
papers, and is suppressed in ethers.'"
Extract of a private letter from Paris, May 29.
" The Prevotal Court at Grenoble, which few would
suspect of too much indulgence, recommended to the
Royal clemency eight individuals. This was not only
withheld, but some disapprobation manifested to the
Members. For their own justification, they have given
due publicity to the motives that guided them. It ap-
pears, the greater part of the delinquents, for whom they
invoked the King's mercy, were youths under 18, and •
that none of them were taken in arms ; but it did ap-
pear, that some of them were possessors of national pro-
perty, and they had declared their resolution of defend-
ing it to the last drop of their blood.—A youth of 18,
who had inherited, a few months before, an estate of
500,000 francs, being captured in the ranks of insurgents,
was triel and shot. This refusal by Louis XVIII. of an
unanimous recommendation to mercy is ahaust unprcce-

dented.
Private accounts would have us believe that differences
of an irreconcilable nature subsist between the Courts
of France and Sweden—that the Swedish Minister at
Paris has left that capital ; and that the cause of this
dispute is the illegitimacy of Bernadotte 's title.
All private accounts represent the South of France as
being in a state of great perturbation. At an inconsi-
derable town of the name of Milhaud, situated between
Rhodes and Thoulouse, and containing many Protestant
inhabitants, overt acts ola violent nature have taken place.
Dreadful affrays have also occurred at Issoire, a town in
Auvergne. The whole of the Cevennes is stated to be
in great ferment Lyons continues to be in a state of
apparent tranquillity, owing to the strong and vigilant
repression maintained by the hand of power. At Dijon
and its vicinity 84 persons of consequence were arrested
on the occasion of the late insurrection at Grenoble, and
strong symptoms of a similar event manifested themselves
in the capital of Burgundy. These insurrectionary move-
ments occur in an opposite direction from that in which
they have hitherto appeared in France. The connuotions no
longer descend from the capital to the provinces, but they
proceed from the peasantry to the inhabitants of towns,
from them to those of greater, until at length they must
reach the capital; thus pervading the whole kingdom.

. -
We hint from the Dutch Papers, that a plan of law
was lately presented by the King to the second Chamber
of the States General, prohibiting the negociation in
Holland of loans to forci:zn governments or private indi-
viduals, without the previous consent of the crown. This
plan of law was discussed in a sitting of the Chamber on
the 28th ult. and adopted by a makrity of Gs to five
voices.

The Dutch Papers state, that at Faster Leipsic Fair
English cottons sold so low•, as to defy all competition by
the native manufacturers.

The journal de Paris says, that the Princess of Wales
has kit to proceci to Alexandria, in Egyrt.
"I".e repo, t of the plagar having been introduced into
Norway, is wh untinualvd.

JUNE 9.

Brussels Papers of recent date have arrived. A letter
f:om Liege, dated May 30th, states, " :hat the issue
of the trial of the Editor of the Mercury Surveillant e,
for calumny on the Emperor of Russia, King of Prus-
sia, and King of France, was misrepresented in the
account which has already been extracted from that Pa-
per. After a hearing of fbur days, the Editor was sen-
tenced to one month's imprisonment ; to pay 100 francs
Inc, and the expences of the trial; and to be deprived
fin. five years of his civil rights, for the article which he
published relative to the Holy Alliance." On the
charge for calumniating the King of France, the Editor
wcs acquitol.
A letter from Madrid, dated May 6, says—" Yester-
day were hung a Commissary and a Surgeon, accused of
attempts against the life of the King. The Commissary's
head and right hand have been cut off and nailed spots
the gate of Alcala. After the proceedings had been in-
stituted against hint, the Judge reported to his Majesty,
that he had not fhund him guilty of' the crime imputed
to him ; when it appear that instructions were given
to the Judge to inflict the torture upon him, because iff
wag said " the rack would bring out the truth." It is
confidently ascertained, that under the anguish of the
torture he cotifessed nothing, but he was nevertheless
hung. The same fitte, it is said, is likewise to betial
many other prisoners accused of the same crime. The
latter are numerous, and every day they increase. Yes•
terday they arrested a cabinet courier and two other per-
sons. Nothing is talked of but attempts against the
royal person ; by which the poor King is so terribly
frightened, that he dares neither cat, drink, nor go out,
Orders have been sent to the convents of nuns and friars,
to pray for the health and life of the test qf Kings."
The late conspiracy organized at Netdrid against the
King has transpired beyond the capital only in a vague
manner. By the last Mail it was rumoured, that more
than a dozen leading personages involved in it were
likely to suflbr death on the accusation ; which excites
the more sympathy, as they comprise several names which
the nation had learnt to esteem for former acts of prowess
in its cause, and as nothite, in the shape of demonstration
appears to stamp on them the decid4d character of guilt.
From German Papers, we find, that the Princes and
Nobles united to the States of the King of Wirtemberg,,
and the Grand Duke of Baden, by the Act of the Con-
gress of Vienna, complain loudly of the invasion of their
privileges by these respective Sovereigns. They have
accordingly appealed to the Great Powers of Europe to
protect them in their rights assigned by Congress ; and
the King of Wirtemberg„ and the Duke of Baden, on
their part, protest against such appeal to foreign States,
as contrary to the law of nations. _ _ _

As a proof of the flourishing state of the Slave Trade,
on the authority of commercial letters just received front
the Havannah, we are enabled to state, that in the.
months of November and December last upwards of 50
vessels cleared out front the island of Cuba for the coast
of Africa, in search of cargoes of human flesh ; and that
since that period, on an average, six or seven more per
month have gone to the same destination. Calculating
'2OO slaves per ship, Cuba may therefore expect an annual
importation of 24,000 slaves ! ! !—lt is a fair question
to ask, whether all this enterprise can have originated in
the heads and pockets of Spaniards?
The war in South America wears of late an aspect of
added horror. The Spaniards and Patriots are fighting
through an extent of country of more than a thousand
leagues, with a degree of ferocity that would be incredi-
ble, were it not attested by eye-witnesses of undoubted
veracity. That revolution which, in 1810, was confined
within the limits of a fl:w provinces, is now become ge-
neral. How this contest will end, evnnot yet be foreseen.
The war will probably be long ; but success may eventu-
ally rest with those who are struggling for that liberty
so justly dear to man.—Nearly all the provinces north of
the city of Mexico are in the power of the Patriots. The
Royalists are in p<msession of the South of Mexico, and
principally of the chief towns of the South. Their exact
strength is not known, but they received last year from
the peninsula a reinforcement of nearly 3000 troops of
the line.—From the province of Choco, in the gulp! of
Darien, as fives Quito, the country is in a complete state
of insurrection.
The distress in the finances of the United States is
great, far beyond that in any European nation. The
House of Representatives has authorized the issue of ten
I millions of dollars of Treasury rotes, to be loaned to the
State Banks at 6 per cent. receivable in all payments of
revenue, &c. One third of these notes are to be with-
drawn from circulation annually ; and these may be re-
issued as fast us they shall be paid into the Treasury.

We arc much concerned to unnotmee the loss a tb.
Dominique schooner ; she has been missing a h.ug time,
and all hopes are at an end. She was commanded by
Lieut. 'Richard Crawtbnl.

'l'hcre is a report, of the accuracy of which we do not
pretend to judge, that measures have been titken to in-
duce many of our artisans to go to Russia. Certainly
the Russians have recently had extraordinary oppertunitics
of obtaining information respectingevery thing particular,
in the machinery, Re. of British manufactures.
An article dated Vienna, the 20th ult. says--" The
report which prevailed some time ago, that orders had
been Oven for the Russian anny still to continue on the
war footing, appears again to acquire !onto consibtoc y."
