PROM Tin HAMPSHIRt TRLRGRAPR.

Mon.* the Brazen, 28, Captain George Willes, re-
turned from the Coat of Africa, whither she conveyed,'
in October 1825, Captains Clapperton and Pearce, R.N.
and Drs. Morrison and Dickson, on the• Mission of
Discovery into the Interior of Africa. We have been
some time ',donne t .ot • the lamented death of Captain
Pearce and Or. Morrison, and of the arrival of 'Calitain
Clappertr.n at Katunga or Hin (;he capital of l'rribo),
on the lst of March, and of Dr. Dickson at Share When
the B. azen left the Blight of Benin, these were rill the
latest accounts which had reached the Coast, of the sur-
iriving travellers; but there are some circumstances te-
4.s.atedby our Correspondent (an Officer of the Brawn.),
'attending the progress of the Mission, which have not
-yet been published, and which we deem of sufficient
interest to justify our insertion of his entire narrative :
_ 44 WHYDAII, OCTOZZR. :5,1826.
. _ _

it Mr. James, who, with de Susa, accompanied Mr.
-Dickson as far as Abomy, the capital of Dahomy, re•
turned to Whydah, and reported that their reception
by the King and people was most flattering and kind,
and that this intrepid traveller, having recovered from
a severe attack of fever, proceeded in high spirits and
sanguine hopes, with an escort of 100 men, provided
by his sable Majesty, on the 31st December last, for
Shar—the extreme of these dominions to the North-
wa?d, and about twenty days' journey, where he Would
have to make new friends, and gain other protection, as
this Monarch's authority extends no further. And as
the highest opinion is entertained of the resources of
Mr. Dickson's active mind, we feel assured that
the enterprise will be well managed, and that, al-
though this circumstance may retard and fetter him
considerably, yet eventually his mission will be suc-
cessful. We have heard that meeting with some
obstacles on his road to proceeding, he resorted to
a stratagem to get on, and gave out that he was
going to make a grand fetish (or charm or mirtacle).
He accordingly hada fowl lc,lled, and then, in the face
of numerous spectators, applied his galvanic battery to
it; of their seeing the animal, as it were, suddenly re.
stored to life, by opening its eyes and fluttering about,
they all became astonished and amazed, and had no
lo,ger any inclination to detain him ; but the question
WAS instantly raised, who should accompany this extra-
ordinaiy white man as his carriers, &c. However, this
was amicably arranged, and he departed much satisfied
with his success, bot for which he might have suffered
considerable inconvenience from further detention.--
Columbus, the interpreter, who was to have accompa-
nied Capt tin Clapperton, but who was left on board
the Brazen sick, has since been landed here, and is now
with Mr. Dickson.

"On thy. 11th of January, in running through Badagry
Roads, we heard of the death of Dr. Morrison and his
servants, who had, in company with Captains Clap-
pert.:n and
.Pearce, proceeded some little distance
from Jeno (in the kingdom of Hio, called by the Houssa
people Yarribo, and about sixty miles horn Badagry),
when they were seized with the fever, and in attempt-
ing to return to the ship, only reached that place again,
where they unfortunately added fresh victims to the
cause of African exploration. The heads of the
mission were proceeding on to Katunga, thirty•three
days' journey from Jeno, and about six hundred miles
from the Coalt. On the 28th January; at the same Road-
stead, we were destined to hear the melancholy intelli-
gence of the death of Captain Pearce, who died at
Angus, on the 27th of December. This was more than
se were prepared for, and it shed a gloom over our little
circle that will be long felt, as his urbanity of manners
and gentlemanly deportment had endeared him to us all.
He was a high-spirited, talented young man, possessing
qualifications essential to the enterprise in which he had
embarked, being an excellent limner and draftsman,
and had an aptitude in picking up languages that would
have been of high importance to the mission,-and de-
sirable in a scientific point of view; added to which,
Iris zeal was of the first character. He has left a dear
and very near relative to lament his irreparable loss,
who was solely dependent on him for support. It is
therefore hoped that our good and beneficent Go-
vernment will not suffer this deserving object to
feel, in addition to other heavy asictions, the mi-
sery of penury and want. The last sad obsequies
were performed by Captain Clapperton, to the re-
mains of his lamented friend and companion ; and, if
we stop to reflect, what must have been his feelings on
the he.stt.rending and distressing occasion—separated
from the civilized world—standing almost alone, with
difficulties of no common nature still to encounter—his
companions thus falling fast around him, and in total
ignorance of the fate of the only remaining one, whom
he had dispatched through the kingdom of Dahomy
—were pungent thoughts, 'enough to appal the stoutest
heart ; but Captain Clapperton is a man of no ordinary.
description—he had undertaken an important mission,
the accomplishment of which was nearest his heart, and
paramount to all other considerations, and, deeply as•
he deplored the loss of his friend, he hesitated not in
pursuing his object, and had arrived in the mountains
of Cong, where the thermometer had been at 88 and
SO, and as high as 98, with fine weather, and a clear
at mosphet e.

4, Captain Clapperton has spoken in the highest terms
of the conduct and services rendered by Mr. Houston
(who has since died of fatigue and dysentery ai Accra),
who, contrary to expectation in the first instance, ac-
companied him to Katunga or Ito, the capital of
Yrirribo, where he (Captain Clapperton) was on the Ist
March, with the thermometer at 100, having remained
there beady a month. He was to prosecute his journey
in a few days for Yuurie, where, it is. believed, poor
Mungo Pat k was killed. It is devoutly hoped that this
may pot be Clappertcni's fate, but that he may be the
instrument, in the hands of PROVIDENCE, of accom-
plishing those objects so ardently desired by philoso-
phers and philanthropists. When Mr. Houston left
him, he was well in health, and in high spirits, and
great hopes have since been entertained that Mr.
Dickson would join him in a very short time, as we
Ilea:- he had arrived at, and left Sitar, by the afore-
mentioned stratagem. Whether this desirable end has
been attained is net, however, yet known, the foregoing
being all the information we have received of the move-
mews of either party, nor have gained any intelligence
of the proceedings of Major Laing. The three travellers
are making for Ott same point." •
We learn by the Brazen of a gallant, decisive, and
successful defence made by a priz: vessel, commanded
by Mr. R. B. Crawford, Admiralty Mate of the Esk,
carrying one gun, against a piratical vessel, of ten guns,
which she beat off after two hours' severe contest. It is
due to the admirable conduct of Mr. Crawford, that the
leading circumstances should be known. It appears
that the Esk captured off Prince's Island, -the Brazilian

„

vessel Neptnno, of 75' tons,' hiving ninety-two slaves on
board, into which Mr. Crawford was.pnt with s;e men
to take her-to Sierra Leone. -On the passage thither the
Neptnno fell in with a piratical vessel, called the Carolina,
under French colours, mounting 10 gun which bore
down app .rently confident Of making .46 easy prize of her.
When wi-hin abour'so yards, the pirate lowered a hoar
down, with an Officer and four men, which proceeded
alongside the Neptuno; thefintended to go on board, not
expecting, from the comparative size of the vessels, to
meet with-any refusal.• Mr. Crawford dared them to come
up the vessel's side. The piratical Captain (who said he
was a Spaniard) ordered Mr. Crawford into his boat,
and his men to board. Mr. C. who never for a moment
thought of giving up his charge, instantly armed him-
self with a pair of pistols, fired into the pirate's boat,
killed the Captain and the bowman, and made the re-
mainder of the boat's crew jump overboard ; the men,
however, by holding on to the gunwale,-regained their
boat, and pulled to the piratical vessel, which had corn•
menced a fire upon the Nepturio with five guns. The
Neptuno had only one six-pounder, the fire of which
was so briskly kept up with round shot and canister, at
a distance of from 30 to 50 yards, that after two hours
fight, the pirate hauled off, when the Neptuno had
only four cartridges left! Mr. Crawford reached Sierra
Leone in safety with his vessel, but with considerable da-
mage. The Neptuno's slaves, 92 in number, were below
during the contest, and luckily escaped with only one
woman killed and a girl wounded. The pirate was
pierced for twenty guns, had ten mounted, and, from
the confusion that prevailed, was no doubt laden with
sieves. The gallantry, steadiness, perseverance, decision,
fidelity, and devotion to his duty of Mr. Crawford (who
was wounded in the head and hand), entitles him to all
the patronage that can be suitably bestowed upon him.
It further appears that the prizes on the Coast of Africa
had been before frequently boarded, insulted, and on
one occasion (the Isabella, detained by the Redwing),
actually captured by this piratical vessel.
The Royal George, of 120 guns, building at Chatham,
is ordered to be finished with all possible speed, that a
two-decked ship, which is to carry 100 guns, may be
laid down on the same slip. This vessel (being of a
new class) will carry 18 guns on a side, on the lower
and main decks, and 14 on a side on the quarter deck
and forecastle-38 or 42 pounders. The Waterloo, of 120
guns, building, is directed to have a foot more beam than
the'Regent,of the same rate, has; and the Royal George,
to effect the same increase, ordered to have her bends
taken off, and-to be replaced with plank six inches
.thicker. In another ship this object has been attained
by adding nine inches un each side to the thickness of
the frame timbers, before the outside planking was put
on, by which the breadth was effected, but it gave no
advantage of space in the lower decks, which could only
have been attained by originally laying the ship down
on a greater necessary breadth of beam. The Barham,
74 (called in the Navy one of the Forty Thieves), has
been cut down to a frigate, arid mounts 32 pounders,
long guns ; but it is.discovered that the construction of
her stern will prevent her from firing a stern chaser--
some of the timber not allowing the long guns to be run
out sufficiently.

WINTER. ASSIZES.

--www•-.
HERTFORD:-

The winter gaol delivery for this county ended late on
Friday evening. Several capital convictions took place;
but the only culprits lett for execution were—
James Fieid,-convicted i f shootingat, and wounding
his wife; Daniel Woodward, convicted* of a diabolical
offence upon a poor boy in the Watford poorhouse;
and John Treadgold, convicted ot horse stealing. The
circumstances ot this last-mentioned case were as fol-
low : The prisoner was first indicted with William Free-
man, the former for stealing, and the latter for receiving
a horse, the property of Benjamin Russell, of Prince-
thorp, in the county of Warwick. A link in the chain
of evidence being wanting, this indictment failed.—
Treadgold was then indicted alone, for stealing, at
Hemel Hempstead, on the 10th of August, a mare,
the property of Mr. John -Cornborough, of Grandho-
rough, in the county of Warwick.
It appeased in evidence, that in the night of the Bth
of August, the prosecutor lost his mare out of a field in
his occupation at Grandborough. In the afternoon of
the 10th, the prisoner brought the -mare to an inn at
Hemel Hempstead; in a. jaded condition.. The appear.
ance of the animal exciting suspicion, the prisoner was
asked by a farmer in the tap-room how he-had pissessed
himself of it? and he replied that he had purchased it
at Northampton fair on the sth of August. Other
questions were put to him, which being answered in a
k prevaricating manner, a constable was sent kr, and he
was taken before a Magistrate, but discharged on the
17th, no person having then come forward to claim the
mare. On the 224 of August, Mr. Cornbotough ap-
peared_ and •claimed the animal as his property, and
upon his information the prisoner war again appre-
hended, and committed for trial.
In his defence the prisoner said he had purchased the spare of an
unknown person at Northausptoti filr. Several witnesses were
called, who gave him a goad character.
The Jury found him Guilty; and there being reason
to believe that he was implicated in other similar rob-
beries, the Learned Judge (Mr. Justice Bayley) told
him be must prepare to undergo the sentence of the•law,

A few days ago the Falmouth mail-coach was over-
turned soon after leaving Exeter, and one passenger
very severely hurt.
The Virginia Waters, near Windsor, ate now so much
out, that the coaches passing along the roads to the west
of England, have some difficulty in getting along. The
waters are also out further down on the western road.
Within the last few days there have been considerable
speculations in shares in various Joint Stock Companies !
Last week, Mr. French, fishmonger, of Chelmsford,
exhibited in his shop an eel of the extraordinary weight
of 721 b. It measured seven feet one inch in length, and
the girth round thn. thickest part was 28 inches. It was
taken by some fishermen on the sands near Maldon.

The match between Lieut.:Farmer, and Mr. Fritter, of Wade 's
Mill, took place on Friday morning, at eight o'clock, over a six
mile piece of ground, near Chalfont, Herts. It was to make the
best of the way, eighteen miles, and.the winner was.backed to do
it in one hour and fifty.four minutes, the. Lieutenant hating backed
himself for twenty-five sovereigns to accomplish it in that time.
The parties ran well together the brit six mils, which Were-per-
formed in forty minutes, when Mr. Fritter made the play, and kept
his adversary in full exercise. The second six- miles were done in
thirty-nineminotes by Mr. F. who was 50 yards a-head, when he
began to fall off in his speed in the 16th mile, where his adversary
passed him with ease, and in condition to win cleverly. The Lieu-
tenant had to make his play fur the bet of V 5 sovereigns, and he left
his adversary, who resigned in the seventeenth. mile, but lost his
second match by three minutes, much exhausted. The original
wager wai 50 sovereigna. The Lieutenant felt cepfident {het he
could have won both matches had be Made itis ground good at
lgoing off. Several fresuenters of the turf were present.

OLD' DECEMBER 9..

-

Thomas Williams,- Frederick Williams, Henry Dover,
Wm. Quick, and Samuel Baud!, all of them lads'under
14 years of age, stood ed for the wilful murder of
Sarah Hood, and in a second count with naanslaughter.
Mr. Casey, a surgeon, said that the deceased, oh the
'night of ths9tli of November, wus brought to the West-
minster Hospital With her thigh broken ; she was in-
toxicated, and being an aged and very debilitated person,
Per constitution could not sustain the shock, and 'the
injury caused her death.
Henry Watts, and another boy, residing in Charles-
court, Strancl,', said that on the evening of the 9th Nov.
the prisoners and a number of other boys were playing
in Charles-court, when the old woman walked along the
court. The boys exclaimed "here comes the old Scotch
wretch, let us have a lark." The prisoners all laid hold
of the deceased behind, and violently pulled her doivn
the court, and she fell on the pavement near her own
door ; she groaned, and exclaimed, " my thigh is bro-
ken." The prisoners jeered, laughed, and threw mud at
her, before they pushed her down.
Mr. Justice PARK stopped the case, and said, thet there was not
evidence to go to the Jury to support the charge of manslaughter.
Verdict_ of Guilty.
Mr. Justice PARK—Be good buys; don't I, lark" any more. I
don't like that word "lark ; ' it is an ill word, a very bad word.—
Do so no more, boys; go home to your parents, and never'' lark ;"
I mean, never jeer and push an old drunken woman again.
. Mr. Justice PARK ordered Henry Dunn and Maylka
SWIM, who had been convicted last September Sessions,
to be placed at the bar. His Lordship said, that the
prisoner Dunn had been convicted of stealing in the
dwelling house of his employers, Messrs. George Drake
Sewell and Thomas Cross, silk met cers and drapers,
Compton-street, Soho-square, goods of above the value
of *Os. and the prisoner Smith of receiving the same,
knowing them to have been stolen. On the trial before
Mr. Justice Littledale and Mr. Justice Gazelee, the
Counsel for the prisoners, raised two objections. The
first, that the prosecutors ought not be allowed to giVe
evidence of more than one act of felony, and ought to
make their selection of the property; but Mr. Justice
Littledale was of opinion that he was bound to admit
evidence shewing the felonious -taking of the various
property which had been stolen at different times by
Dunn.. The second point raised by the Learned Counsel
was in favour of Smith, and he contended that the fact
of her pawning two pieces of silk, alleged to have been
stolen by Duna, was not admissible in evidence against
het, to prove her having feldniously received the same.
Mr. Justice Littledale being of opinion that such evi-
dence was admissible, because the fact of pawning went
to prove her guilty knowledge; he received the evidence
on the trial, and the Jury found Dunn guilty of the
capital offence of stealing in a dwelling-house above.
the value of 40s. and Smith of receiving the same, &c.
The Twelve Judges had fully considered the two points
,raised, and.-unanimously concurred with the Judge who
tried the prisonctrs,ia his opinion, and had decided that
both prisoners had been legally convicted, and they
would receive their sentence at the close of the Session.
bane Hall, a groom out of place, aged 18 years,
was capitally costeicted- of stealing in the dwelling-
hr.use of Edtvatd•VV.:C. Astley, Esq. in Grosvenor•place,
a chronometer*fist other articles, value 504 The prisoner
had been occasionally employed in the stables of the
prosecutor, and ,before the putsent transaction had main.

The Jury, in proetienciaeaheir verdict of Ctsifty, Deeth7-recom-
:needed him to mercy. :-, - ;
William Layton, alias. Ellen, rind George Jones, the
former an elderly man, of mostrespectable appearance,
and the latter a well-dressed young man, about thirty
years of age, were indicted .for stealing, on the 2.5 d of
November last, 112 printed shawls value fll. and two
pieces of printed cotton value 21. the proper ty of William
Hay and Robert Charles. Mr. Ceasvram. conducted
the prosecution, and Mr. BRODERICK the defence.

Yrom the evidence of the witnesses, it was proved,
that on the evening of the 2.5 th ult. a female, named
Sailers, who was employed by the prosecutors to take
care of the premises, 12, Bucalersbury, which are used
by them and other persons. as a warehouse, on going to
the house found the outer door locked, or something
placed against it in such a manner that she was unable
to obtain admittance. She immediately gave the alarm,
and several persons having arrived, the door was forced,
and it was then discovered that the desk -and trunk of
one of the clerks named William Stiff, were broken
open and several trifling articles taken away. Before
she gave the alarm, she heard glass breaking in one of
the apartments ; and when the door was torced four
panes of the sky-light were broken sufficiently to enable
two persons to escape. In one of the rooms the property
above mentioned was discovered packed up ready to
carry off. The prisoners were apprehended in the yard
of the adjoining premises, No. 11, and the hand of the
younger prisoner was severely cut.
The prisoners said nothing whatever in their defence, and the
Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Remains immediately ordered the prisoners up
for judgment, and remarked, that it was a providential
cis cumstance for the prisoners that the house, at the time
the robbery was committed, was uninhabited, otherwise
they must have recOved sentence of death. The sew.
tence of the Coirt. was, that the prisoners be transported
beyond the seas for the term of seven years..
The Grind Jury were discharged at eight o'clock, after the
Learned Justus had expressed his approbation of the satisfactory
'manner kV which they had performed their duty.
John Buayan, aged 2.5, was convicted of stealing-a
mare, value Si. the property of John Bertiman. The
prosecutor was possessed of the mare in question on the
9th of September, and• being -desirous of of
it, he intrusted it to the prisoner, with whom be had a
previous acquaintance, to run it tip and down the mar-
ket at Smithfield, who taking advantage of his momen-
tary absence, seized the opportunity, and made off with
the mare. The prosecutor's son met the prisoner by
accident a few days subsequent to the robbery, and •he
was secured.— Guilty, but recommended him to mercy.
William Davies, the son of a respectable tradesman in
Oxford Market, stood indicted for stealing the carcases
of two pigs, the property of a neighbouring tradesman,
named Rhodes. A strong chain of circumstantial evi-
dence was produced on the part of the prosecution ; and
Mr. BRODER lox,. for the prisoner, brought forward an
immense number of witnesses to disprove the evidence
Tor the prosecution, and to speak to the general cha•
-racier of the prisoner for honesty.
The trial lasted a considerable time; and after as elaborate
summing up from the Learned Recorder, the Jury, after *thy mi-
nutes deliberation, returned a verdict of Nut Guilty.
Louisa Jones was convicted of stealing a silk handkerchief from
the shop of Benjamin'3l.ither, hosier, New-street, •Covent Gar-
den, on the Bth of November. •

• The most extraordinary fact attending this case was, that two
men (one of them also named Jones) were • transported at the last
Sessions for stealing the same handkerchief from the same shop.
• We are informed that the-barracksat Harwich are
condemned, and ate speedily to be pulled &we.'

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 9.

• FISHER. E. CLEMENT.
The plaintiff, an Attorney, ie,iding in Lyrn? Regis,
Dorsetshire, had brought an action against John Jo,eph
Stockdale, for a libel inserted in a work published by
him called Memoirs of Harriette Wilson, in which .he
obtained a •erdict for 7001. In consequence of this
a• tirade of which. he now ciimplainedrappeared
in Bell's Life in London, on Sunday, the 27th of May
this year. It was in verse, and professed to be a con-
versation bet Weed Stockdale and Harriette Wilson, in
which the former was made to complain to the latter of
the verdicts obtained.agaiast him in the case of Mr.Blore,
as well as Mr. Fisher, in which the writer not only
insinuates, but actually alleges, that the substance of
what Harriette Wilson had written of these Gentlemen
was true.

The record and judgment of the trial against Stock-
dale were then read. It was admitted that the de-
fendant was the Proprietor, &c. of the Paper ; and after
some further evidence, of tin great importance, the
alleged libel was put in and read it is far or, long for
us to insert. The principal lines upon which the plain-
tiff's case rested were—

•
" I wrote what was not only new,
• •
But in its substance also true !"
Mr. Sergeant VA UQH AN addressed the Jury for the
defendant, and read some correspondence between the
plaintiff and Mr. Dowling, the Editor of the Life in
London, in which the Litter expres,ly denied any intro..
tion of reflecting on the plaintiff, who thereupon offered
to drop proceedings on the insertion of an apo:ogy, and
the payment of• 401. to two friends whom he would
name, to be applied to some chalky.
The Jury, after an absence of two hours, found for the plaintiff—.
