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 fearful 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 Wickham, 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 Limehouse. 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 proceeding 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 Londonroad, St. George's-fields, was on Sunday last thrown into great consternation by the alarm of a murder having been committed by a mother on her new-born babe. A wretched woman, named Taylor, who keeps a brothel in London-street, bondon-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 Saturday. last because the mother of a female infant. Suspicion having been created that this child had been destroyed, public 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 handsomest 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 decidedly the pride of the Parisians (from its extreme beauty and playfulness), and considered the greatest variety in the Menagerie. Their liberality confers equal honour on themselves and on the spirited individual wko has rendered the Royal Menagerie, Exeter 'Change, unparalleled throughout Europe.
