When Mr. JAIIKI GREY JAcKsox, returned to this
country from Morocco, some six or seven years aittie,
he reported to the Earl of MomA .and to 5it...T.441
BANKS, on the authority of an Arabic letter, whi II
was written from Libra, the port of Timbuctoo, y
a .liberated negro, to his former master, a Moor h
g merchant, then residing at:Mogadore, that a small
vessel or boat had anchored before Kabra, in the river
L 4 •
(the Nile el Abeede), and that this boat or vessel had
hoisted a white flag ; .that there was seen in the boat,
by the inhabitants of Kahn, three Christians, one pr
whom, was described as a very tall man, ,who stood
up in the boat, whit)) remained before the port o(
- Kabra until, night; but .the next morning milting '
more was seen of it. This boa; had, as Mr,..lactsON
reported, nn communication with she shore, but it was
presumed that it had passed on to the eastward, to-
wards 1i,.0 SSA .
There is kremarkahle-coincidence in this rep-rt r f
Mr. JACKSON, when compared with the account re-'
centl: received from -Mr. CounT, of Iviogadore, viz.
That a native African had attived at. Mogadore, iii
the noon* of May, bringing an :memoir that he had
' ie't Hints,, in March lAst, and that:, bt:lbeging to the
akkabar,orgreat caraeau.of the sinterior, there were
- .three,Christians, whom some- King of -800DAte (pro-
bably that of Bottis.-.) hachplaeed under the protec-.
.tion, of sh.errie-Ef (a Prince), with a posi•itte injiinction
to coovey them across the great desert to the nor/hem'
• arkfillet of Ate.ca, probatly to Algiers or Tunis..-:,'
From- this remarkable corroboration, after such a
•.lapfe Of time, there does appear some reason to COO-
.clidde that the three Christians mentioned in the re-
port, now arrived from Mogadore, are the same with
those mentioned in Mr. JAccoonts report. and skit
they are no other than the. remains of the party, of
that inclefitigable _RIO enterprising 'traveller. Mr.
lelusoo PARK, viz. Mr. PARK himself, and two of his
warrriving companions.

The new Patent Twine Cloth, brought out by the

CORONER' INQUEST.—Yesterday evening. an In.'
quest was held at St. Bartholomew's HosPital, to id-
quire into the cause of the 6ath of John Brown, WbOp
it appeared, was killed by falling from the *Ando*
of a house of ill-fame, in Swan-yard, Strand. •Af(er
most patient investigation, whick lasted yfrOni sjr
eclock till after twelve, the Jury returned a Verdict—
• Accidental Death. It appeared in evidence, that the
whole of the houses within a particular limit of that
neighbourhood, were a 'serious and most alarming
nuisance, and the parish officers were enjoined to exert
themselves to get rid of an evil which presents every
night a most dreadful scene of vice and inianty. •

right kg and thigh were separated from it body;
and lay underneath her, her left leg being OS dread=
fully mangled and broken. Medical assistaqce,

immediately procured.; but more than' 20 minutes!
elapsed before there was a possibility of liberating her
from her perildus situation. Her left limb has been',
se:, and the other amputated near her body. Some
expectation is also entertained that she may survive
her misfortune; to herself life is hardly- desirable, and'
scarcely to be wished, were it not in consideration of a
young tanglya and nerselflar advanced izepregoancy.
