A Valenciennes Journal gives us the following
article :—Six merchants crossing the coast of
Guinea, with 75 large monkeys, were attacked
by upwards of a hundred negroes. Being at a.
lossbow to defend themselves against -such fear-
ful odds, one of the merchants proposed arming
the prisoners ; accordingly swords, poniards, and
pistols were distributed amongst them, and by
imitating their masters, these grotesque auxiliaries
succeeded in putting their aggressors to flight!!!
Munnaa.—Yesterday the Sitting Magistrate
at Bow-street (Mr. MT 24811 II L ) received a letter from Wick-
ham, stating that a murder had been committed on Monday
night at that place. The unfortunate person murdered was an
under gardener in the service of a gentleman named Goodhart,
who has a house there and who is also a sugar baker at Lime-
house. The man heard a noise in the night, and on getting
up he perceived. two men attempting to break open the grape
house. tie called out to them, and they immediately shot
him. Other persons heard the report of the gun, and proceed-
ing to the spot found the poor fellow weltering in his blood.
He lived long enough to State that the men who shot him were
two tall fellows dressed in smock-frocks. Taunton the officer
was sent to assist in endeavouring to detect the murderers.

INFANTS Cl DE.--The neighbourhood of London-
road, St. George's-fields, was on Sunday last thrown into great
consternation by the alarm of a murder having been commit-
ted by a mother on her new-born babe. A wretched woman,
named Taylor, who keeps a brothel in London-street, bon-
don-road, was said to have reared several young girls in her
house. One of them, who is little more than i 5 years of
age; cohabits with a man, by whom it appears she on Satur-
day. last because the mother of a female infant. Suspicion
having been created that this child had been destroyed, pub-
lic clamour, from the knowledge of the previous situation of
the daughter, became so ungovernable, that on Monday last
the place was searched, and to the horror of the spectators, the
poor babe was discovered in the privy, quite dead. The case
has undergone a partial investigation, and a Coroner's Inquest
is summoned.
The Directors of the Royal Institution in the
Jardin des Plants at Paris have in the hand-
somest manner presented Mr. Caoss, Proprietor
of our National Menagerie at Exeter 'Change,
with a superb bird, a native of Senegal. It is of
the crane tribe, upwards of five feet high, and
the only one ever exhibited in England. What
enhances the value of the gift is, it was decided-
ly the pride of the Parisians (from its extreme
beauty and playfulness), and considered the
greatest variety in the Menagerie. Their libera-
lity confers equal honour on themselves and on
the spirited individual wko has rendered the
Royal Menagerie, Exeter 'Change, unparalleled
throughout Europe.
