The following extract of a letter purports to
give some account of the result of the recently
adopted plan for .raising negro recruits on the
coast of Africa

" !inner Island (Africa), Sept. 18, ISM
" I take the earliest opportunity to inform you
of the degree of Success that has attended the
African Recruiting Establishment.,
" Major Wingfield marked at Portsmouth on
hoard the Herald transport, his Staff consisting of
Adjutant Henry Barry Hyde, Lieutenants Gregg
and Fitzgerald, Surgeon James JohnstOn,'Ensign:
Mac Queen, and Paymaster Eastlake; together
with three • officers of the Royal African Corps,
and eighty men. The Herald proceeded to Africa,
which .coast we made on the 19th of July. We
land.ed a few of the African Corps and one officer
at Senegal, a few men and one officer at Goi•ee,
and the remainder of the African Corps at Sierra
Leone.

" The Herald proceeded from Sierra Leone to

Estlbliihment, where the vacancies in the diffe-
rent West India regiments arc to be filled up,
which Will be done inucti.sooner than was anti-
cipated.

The Malton Coursing,Meeting:was. to cOm7
mence on Monday last, and the promise -of wea-
ther appeared favourable.
. BOKERS.—There are no less than four boxing-
matches .on the tapis, three of which will be de-
cided on Monday next, in EsSex, as arrangements
now stand. The first, which has excited as much
interest as any combat the last seven years, and
on which many thousands are depending, will be
betwixt Powers, the reputed best I2st. fighter of
the day, and Carter the Lancashire mans who won
his maiden fight with Bvne two months since,
and promise.s to' aspire to beeotne first on the list.
Fuller; a promising pupil of Richmond's, will
fight Jay; and Lancaster Will fight a Jew much
thought of. Dutch
,Sam, the phenomenon, who
baffles calculation, and Belcher will be matched

immediately, and fight off hand.
Another Mail Robbery.—On the evening of Fri-
day se'nnight, the postman conveying the mail •
frorß Slaryport to Cockermouth, was stopped
Within a mile of the latter place, and robbed.of ••
the bag of letters from Maryport to Cocker-
mouth, and also the bag. for London, by two
footpads, who pulkl him from his' horse ; and,
whilst one of the villains held a pistol to his head,
with threats, the other unloosed the' hags, with
which they made off. Fortunately the bags con-
wined nothing of consequence.
Last night, about six o'.clock, iewas discover-
ed that John Chaplin, of Eagle and Child-court,
Shoe-lane, had murdered his wife, by cutting her
throat from ear to ear. Surgical assistance was
immediately prOcured, but too late, the unfortunate
woman having been dead some time. The man
Was taken to the Cornpter. This isthe;saine person
who was some time since taken by Mr. Taylor, of •
Shoe-lane, before the Sitting Alderman; when •
the Prison Surgeton-delared he was not insane, and
he was then discharged, much to the regret of the
neighbourhood,

• HYDROPHOBIA.-On Tuesday the sth 'of May,
al3hceste ivho had been bitten three weeks before
in the leg, by a mad dog, was carried to the nit-
tive Hospital, about three o'clock iu the after-
noon,.with the symptoms of hydrophobia strong-
ly upon him. Ile was immediately bled to the
extent of forty' ounces. The symptoms of the
-disease yielded in succession as the blood flowed ;
and before the vein was closed, he stretched out
his hand for a cup of water, and calmly drank it
off, though the mere approach of water but a few
minutes before had thrown him.into convulsions.
After the bleeding he lay down on a cot, fell
'asleep and continued so for nearly tiwo hour:;.
When he awoke, 'the sympto►ns Of the disease-
were ithreatening to return ; another vein was.
then opened„ and eight ounces more of blood ta-
ken away, which so completely subdued the dis-
ease, that he has not had a symptom of it since. A
ease lately published in the Madras Rapers, as
successfully treated by bleeding, mercury, and
opium, by Mr. Tycoon, Surgeon to his Majesty's
22d Dragoons, led to the practice adopted in .his
instance ; and which, it is gratifying to remark,
has even been'more successful than on the former
occasion ; the cure, in -the latter case, having
been almost instantaneously effected, and that
'by bleeding alone, without the aid of either mer-
cury or opium ; for though these remedies were
subsequently used, it was evident that the disease
was previously and entirely overcome by the
Ileeding.—Madras Gazette,

friends of Mr..Brongbain objected to the vote of
Stirling, alleging that it Was in his favour, as One
Of the votes for the delegate was illegal, which
gave him the majority, and therefore that Stirling
being the :returning burgh, decided the election
