BARBAROUS OUTRAGE MilD ATTEMPT TO Munima.
—Yesterday the -following atrocious act wis
trotted in Kennington-Imm near White Ha=
Lambeth :—A ruffian, .of the name of John Wright,
whp describes himself to be a working gardener. went
into a small house occupied by a person named Tay-
lor, VAC) works cc a tool-maker's, in New-itreet.
vest Garde*: 'Mrs. Taylor, who is advanced in Years,
and her daughter, a grown-up young woman, were the-
only persons in the house at the time. After remaining
-in the house for some minutes on some frivolous pre.
trice, be seized a poker, and struck at the two help:
less females in a most violent and barbarous manner,
and dreadfully cut them in the head and in different
parts of their bodies; so much so, that little ho
-were last nigh: entertained of their survieing the out-
rage. The screams of the women soon attracted the
neighbours to the spot, and then the monster desisted
from his murderous purpose, and tried to make bis
.escape, He was instantly pursued and taken; his
clothes and stockings were sprinkled with blood, even.,
some of the, lesh which had been cut from the hands '
and faces of the suffeters was found sticking. to him,'
as well as a ionsidelable quantity of their hair; from,
which latter' circumstance it is presumed that they'
'must have struggled very hard for their lives. When
taken to Union-hall, and asked by Mr. Serjeant
Lori, who was the Sitting Magistrate at the time,
"that were the motives diet impelled him to commit
the crime ? he answered, with great indifference, that
be had on a former day sold the women four flower-
pots, that he went to demand payment for them, and
that on their refusing to pay him, he beat them with
the poker. It appears, however, from the declara-
tion of the young woman, who wall'able to speak yes.
terday evening, that this story is false ; and the sup-
position is that his object was to rob the house. The
Magistrate ordered him to be remanded until the fate
of the woman is ascertained.
Stu DWELL-OFFICR.-••CHAROR OF MURDEB.—....YES.
terday John Sliver:, Captain of the Thames South-
lea man, and James Baxter, the chief mate, were
finally examined on a charge of being accessary to
the death of. John Gibson, an apprentice, on board
' tkat ship, who died on their voyage to the coast of
Peru in 11314. On the last examination, William
Temperton, the ship's carpenter, John Young, sur-
geon, John Thomas, cook, and William Piere, gave
evidence to prove the treatment of the boy previous
Ito his death : in addition to this, James Hanson now
deposed, that, having entered on board the vessel on
the toast of Peru, about the Sd of November 1814,
he recollected the deceased to be ill about two months,
and to haste had several sores about his body : he was
'attended by Mr. Young, the ship's surgeon, but
could not say how long : he had seen him give him
pills and plasters for his sores about nine days beloie
his death : the Captain used to flog him, and some-
times start him with a rope's end about a loot long,
which he kept for that purpose : the flogging was
previous to his illness : the mate also flogged and
started him : he was so weak he could not do bis
work, but used to shuffle along the deck in that state
be was beat without even his shirt en. He used to
cry, " Oh f Captain, dear Captain !" his body used to
be black and blue with blood-shot. No person was
with him when he died, having expired during bed-
`time : remembered the mate haring beat him with a
rope's end on the day previous to his death, but did
not see the Captain beat him for three weeks before.
He had written letters to send his father, which were
brought to the Captain, who laughed at them : this
was after the boy's death. -
Cross-examined— He did not know the boy's hand-
writing ; Mr. B. Duke took the letters to the Cap.
lain ; he and every person on board had an oppor-
tunity of knowing deceased's treatment ; did not
hear the Captain say the bay shammed lame, but
beard the surgeon say so : he was a dirty bey, and
would not wash . his linen ; had soap as well as the
other boys : he was ill-used by every person on board,
when any one beat him, the Captain and Mate cried'
" Go it ;" this might be six months before he died :
he used to be chastised for not doing his work. Ins
answer to a question (gem the Magistrate, witness
said he.had sailed in six different vessels, but had
never seen any Captain more severe than the priso-
ner : lie had seen the boy's legs and thighs before the
body was thrown overboard, and they were black
and blue, hut he bad net seen his back.
The agistrate ordered the prisoners to find bail 4
themselves in 4200 each, andtheir securities in £lOO
each. With this they were provided, and it was given
accordingly.
HATTON OARDRIfo---YESterday, Mr. Pt Mari,
of Highhury Grove, Islington, (brother of e LORD
Mayon) attended, by summons, to answer the com-
plaint of a tolkollecior at Islington Turnpike gate;
the complainant stated, that cot the night of Monday,
die 18th instant, the defendant's coach came up to
the above gate, as the watchman was calling the
hour of .twelve, when the witness demanded the ac-
customed toll of four pence; Mr. Wood's servant ten-
dered him in payment, a French sixpence, which be
refused; the servant then offered him another of the
like coin, which he likewise refused : he then' told
vomplainant to go up to the carriage, when the gentle-
man pulled from his. pocket a. sixpence.which. also
was French, and which was also refused. The coach-
man was then desired by Mr. Wood to go on, which
he did, without paying the toll. , In answer, Mi.
' Wood said, that at the above time be was-ignorant
that French sixpences were not current; that when
the carriage came near Islington Chu;cha the clock
struck twelve, whiCh was near a quarter of an hoar
after the. complainant bad demanded the toll; aid
.hat in consequence of his having been through the
gate and paid the toll in the morning, be did
•not
think he tad any right to pay the toll again. But
the complainant symanng the clock had struck twelve,
the Magistrate convicted the defendaut io. the miti-

- NUNOC PARK.
. .......;.......
Every circumstance that can elucidate thtfate of
the explorer bf Africa is interesting,..although, from.
the length of time that has elapsed since he was last
beard .of, the probability of his being• in existence is
so chimerical as scarcely to afford the most distant
ray of its being realised. The following is, however,
a singular coinoidence, and there can be no doubt
but the white men therein mentioned might be Mr.
PARK, and probably his fellow traveller Lieutenant'
Marren ;. particularly as it is known they embarked.,
on the Niger with only three of their companions,
and also that no persons, as is there described, could
possibly be in•the interior of that country, and Simi-,
lady situated, except them. The manner in which this
information has been obtained is rather singular, but
there seems no reason to doubt of its correctness. It
appoin that some time since a Gentleman acciden.,
tally observed in London a seaman whom he bad seen
atCadiz,. where he was well biown from his having
been in Africa, and Tombucioo, a city which ea
hire person before has been able to reach, although
it is the great object of European research. This sea.
man, whose name is Robert Adams, belonged to site
American ship Charles and is a native of America',
bora on Hudson's river and was wrecked October
11, 1810, nears small p ace called El Gazie, on the
African coast, to the northward of Cape Blanco ; ,
and, with the rest of the crew, made prisoners by the
Moors. ' After some time the whole were conveyed
by the barbarians across the Great Desart to Son.
denny, and Ureic* to Tombuctoo, experiencing the
greatest fatigue and hardships. After a slavery at
various places for' four years,•and undergoing every
cruel treatment, he was so fortunate as to have- hit
ransom effected by Mr. DUPUIS, the Consul at Mo.•
gadore, from whence be went-to Fez, obtained a pas.
sage to Cadiz, where he remained until peace with
the United States waeconcluded, and ultimately ar-
rived in London. He states, that among the Negro..
slaves at Wed.noon—(where, from his being a white
man, he attracted great notice)—was a woman whp
said she came from a place called Kanno, a long
way across the Desert, and that she had seen in her
own country white men as white as of bather" (mean.
ing the white wall), and in a large beat with two
'bier sticks in it, with cloth upon them, and that they
rowed this boat in a manner different from the cus-
tom of the Negroes, who use paddles. in stating
this,`she made the motion of rowing with oars, so as,
to leave no doubt that she had seen a vi ssel in the
European fashien, and manned by white people.—:
Adams arrived at this place August 29, 1812, and
remained there till September, 1819.
Many of the slaves purchased at Tombuctoo- and
•other places, and brought by the Moors and Arahi
across the Great Desart, come front countries very
far to the eastward; it is, therefore, not improbable
to suppose, that the place from whence this woman
came might be the kingdom of Ghana, or Cano, on
the Niger, lying between the 10th 'and 15th degrees
of East longitude. Supposing this correct, the curi-
ous relation of this person will afford • reasonable
ground for conjecturing that Mr. PARK had made
further progress on the Niger than where the guide
states he parted wish him ; and as Mr. PARK'S death
was by drowning, together with his companions, and
only occurred the day after the guide gave up his
charge, he could not have made any great progress in
his voyage. The time that intervened between eie
departyre of Mr. PARK from Sansanding; where he
embarked on the Niger the 17th of November, 1805 p
and his teported.death at Silla, either in March or
early in April, 1806, would greatly admit of his
having reached a territory more distant than Kanno.
That this enterprising traveller has met his death is
almost certain, but the time, place,- or circumstances
under which it occurred, are enveloped in mystery,
and rest alone on the bare assertion of his guide, who,
it must be recollected, was not at eye witness of the
event, but obtained the information from otheri.
At Wed.noort, the only white person which Adams
found there was a Frenchman, who had been ship-
wrecked and taken into slavery. The temptation
which had been held out to this man, as is invariably
done by the followers of Mabomet to all Christians
who unfortunately fall into their power, was mi.
strong for him to resist. He had, therefore, turned
Mahometan, and was, in consequence, circumcised,
by which means he was immediately removed
,from
slavery, allowed to marry, and was the father of se-
veral children. At this place he bad resided twelve
years, and obtained a livelihood by making gnnpow.
der, which was puichased with great avidity by the
Moors and Arabs, all of whom were entirely ignorant
of the process used in ite•inatnificture. This secret
the Frenchman studiously kept from them. -
