NEGLECTING TO SUPPORT HIS WIFE AND FAMILY. -Frederick Gibbon, tailor, who has frequently been be- fore their Worships, WIIS charged with neglecting to sup- port his wife and family. Mr. Wride, relieving officer, proved that they had received relief from St. Mary's parish since the 14tb of March. Sarah Gibbon, the wife, said her husband had plenty of work if he would only do it, but that he spent the most of his earnings in drink. The Bench said they would adjourn the case for a week to see whether defendant would give his wife his earnings. SUPPORT OF A FATHER.—Joseph, Henry, and Philip Hancock welle charged with allowing their father to be- come chargeable to St. Mary's parish. Mr. W. Wride proved that John Hancock had received relief since the 28th February. Witness had told Joseph Hancock that his father was receiving relief, and of the consequence. John Hancock, the father, said he was sixty.eight years of age, and had been reseiving relief from the union. Two of .his sons had horses, and sometimes made 12 or £ 3 a week, while at other times they had nothing. The other son earned 3s. 6d. a week and his food. The Bench ordered Phillip to pay Is. 6d., and Joseph Is. a week to- wards their father's support. CONCEALING CIGARS AND TOBACCo.-Theodore Pul- 2atio, and Jacob Basie, two Greek seamen, were charged with smuggling. William Thomas, custom-house officer, said he went on board the Belgian ship Antwertia, on Monday morning, and asked the seamen to produce their tobacco. He asked Putzatio three times and he pro- duced a parcel of tobacco. Witness afterwards fcund a box of cigars, and seven ounces of tobacco concealed beneath Putzatio's berth. William Rees, another custom- house officer, said he asked the prisoner Basie to produce what tobacco he had. He did so, and witness afterwards found eleven ounces of cigars between Basie's bed and clothing. William Gibbs, tide surveyor, had weighed the articles referred to. Those belonging to Putzalio was eighteen ounces of cigars and seven ounces of tobacco, and were valued at 185'1 and 5s. 3d. respectively, in- cluding duty; Basie's weighed eleven ounces and was worth 11s. The Bench ordered Putzatio to pay 23s. 3d. and 6s. 3d. costs, and Basie lis. and 6s. 3d. costs, or in default to be imprisoned for fourteen davs each. FURIOUS DRIVING BY CABMEX.-The two cabmen, narr.ed William Newcome and Joseph ltichards, who were remanded from Saturday on a charge of furious driving, whereby they caused the death of a young child, were again placed at the bar. Superintendant Stockdale reported that a coroner's inquest had been held, and the jury had returned a verdict of" Accidental Death," as it appeared that the Whitmore-lane corner was a sharp one, and that the defendants diminished their speed while turning it, but the second cabman, not observing the child, who was standing near the centre of theroad, run over it and it was killed. Mr. Jones said that it did not appear that at the time of the accident de- fendants were driving very fast, but at the same time he would say that it was no excuse for cabmen to drive fast because their fares desired them to do so. Careless driving had become very common, and two accidents had occurred within a fortnight, but in the present case, as the coroner's jury had returned a verdict of accidental death, he would merely severely caution them, and that should any other similar case come before the attention of the court a sentence of a very severe character would be the result. Defendants were then discharged. DRUNKEN ASSAULT. James Dempsey and John Uriey, were charged by James Jones for an assault. Complainant said he was going along Caroline-street about eleven o'clock on Sunday night, and saw the two prisoners, who appeared to be drunk. Urley came up to complainant and knocked him down, and both the de- fendants beat him very much. P.C. Selby heard the row, and on coming up saw Urley striking the complainant, who was on the ground. He had been previously com- plained to by a female, who had been insulted by defend- ants. Fined 10s. and costs, or fourteen days' imprison- ment each. NOCTURNAL DISTURBERS. — James Harrington, Samuel Watson, and John Sims, were charged with break- ing a glass door. Esther Tyler, living at No 199, Bute- road, said she was in her sitting-room about one o'clock on Monday morning, and heard a voice at the front door. While she was proceeding down stairs she heard kicking, and afterwards the door shutter fell down, and soon after the glass was flying about. Witness got to the street and saw four men running away, whom she followed. One of them escaped, but the others she gave into custody. The panel of the door and glass were smashed entirely, and the damage dene was about 16s. P.C. Jones said he saw four men come out of a house in Sophia-street, some time before this occurrence took place. As they went along they broke open one of the doors in Sophia-street, and witness went through Christina-street to endeavour to catch them. He soon afterwards heard a noise in Bute-road, and on coming up about two minutes after Mrs. Tyler gave three men into kis custody. To pay 5s. 4d. each damage, and a fine of Is. and costs, or four- teen days' hard labour each. STREET OBSTRUCTIONS.—Messrs. Atkins and For. ter, ship chandlers, Bute-street, Bute Docks, were sum- moned for causing an obstruction. P.C. Hitchiner said on Thursday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, he went into defendants' shop and asked the assistant to remove a large crate which was laying in the road, but it was there till two o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Atkins said that he had cautioned his assistant against leaving things in the street, but on the present occasion the crate had been put out for the railway carrier, who was later than usual in coming. Cautioned.—Mr. John Jacobs, iron. monger, Bute-street, was summoned for a similar offence. P.C. Newman saw several parcels of goods lying in the streets about two o'clock on Saturday, and cautioned the shopkeeper against leaving them there they remain till nine o'clock at night. Defendant said he had shortly before received a large supply of goods which filled up the centre of his shop, and he "8 obliged to remove them before he could accommodate the things left in the street. Cautioned.—Mr. W. R. Smith, draper, Bute- treet, Docks, was also charged with causing an obstruc- tion. In this case four packages were left from nine o'clock on Thursday morning till two o'clock in the afternoon. The defence was that they were waiting for the railway carrier. Cautioned.

Dock policeman Thomas Edwards said he was on duty at the East Dock pier, at nine o'clock on Mon- dRY morning. A dispute took place with some foreigners, who threw stones at a mate of an American ship which was going out of dock at the time. Witness en- deavoured to clear them from inside the iron railings, and at last took the defendant and another man into custody. The other foreigners rescued the two prisoners, and they all ran away, but defendant was afterwards retaken. In consequence of some technicality, the case was dis- missed. AssAULT.—Margaret Richards, prostitute, on a charge of assaulting a married man, was discharged. IRISH NEIGHBOURS.—Ann Ryan and Mary Smith were summoned for assaulting Mary Ann Johnstone.

ASSAULTING A FEMALE.—Charles Matthews, a hob. ler, was charged with assaulting Elizabeth Williams, on Saturday night in the Empress Eugene beerhouse when a row took pluce with defendant and another man. Com- plainant was struck by defendant, who also pulled her by the hair, and inflicted several blows upon her body. A witness named Dashwood corroborated complainant's statement For the defence a witness named Thomas Lewis alias South was called, and said that the row was commenced by complainant throwing a glass at defen- dant, which severely cut his eye. George Smith was also called and said wscnice defendant with three glasses. The bench dismissed the case. NON-MAINTAINANCE OF A FAMILY.—George Fear, a mason, was charged with allowing his three children to become chargeable to St. Mary's parish. Mr. W/ide, re!ieving-officer, said the children were found destitute in a house in Canal parade on the 23rd September, defen- dant having left them and gone to another town. De- fendant had lately returned tw Cardiff, but had never in- quired about his children. Defendant said he left the children in charge of a person, as he was unable to obtain work in Cardiff.

Cridland said he was on duty in Trinity-street, at about twelve o'clock on Tuesday, when he observed a horse and cart standing near the church. Witness soon after saw the horse drop down, and it was with considerable diffi- culty that it could be got upon its legs again. No owner being near, the animal was taken to the station, and was afterwards claimed by the defendant. The horse had a sore on the back and another on the shoulder. It ap- peared to be very weak, and the cart attached to it was empty. James Parkman, the driver, was called, and said he considered the horse to be in a good working con- dition.

NOTES FROM THE DOCKS. THURSDAY NIGHT. NEW DocK MASTER.—We understand that Capt. Johnstone, R.N., has been appointed dock master in the room of Commander Dornford, whose resignation we anuounced a few weeks ago. Capt. Johnstone is a gentleman of considerable experience, and has been acting as deputy master for the east dock for some considerable time, so that the nature of the more responsible duties which will soon devolve upon him are not entirely new to him. We have only to hope that he will take a broad and liberal view of those duties, and as the trade and commerce of the port increases be will endeavour to act iu such a manner as to win the good opinion of those whose interests are more immediately concerned. During the week the coal trade has continued ex- tremely brisk, and there are now more orders on hand, and ships in the dock, than can be supplied. In consequence of contrary winds, a large fleet was detained for several days in Penarth-roads, but the wind having changed to the north on Wednesday, they proceeded down channel to their respective destinations. The splendid ship Humber left the east dock on Tuesday, and as she was proceeding down the "gut" grounded on the east mud bank. Although she had 2,000 tons of coal on board, her bottom received no injury, and she was tugged off with the evening tide. These mud banks are awkward things, but as the bed is a soft one, the only damage done is the occasional delay of a tide. When the Humber got away she left an indention nine feet deep in the mud. Within the last few days a large number of vessels have arrived, some of them being splendid craft. Amongst the number we may mention the Sirocco and the George Griswold. The latter vessel came into the East Dock this afternoon, and was greatly admired by the shipping interest for her smart appearance. Our readers will recollect that the George Griswold, Capt. Lund, was the vessel which brought over a cargo of provisions from New York for the use of the Lancashire operatives. The owners, we believe, gave the freight, and paid the dock dues as their share of the noble contribution. This is her first voyage, and we cannot but feel proud that she has come to Cardiff for an outward freight. The captain was cordially received and entertained at Liverpool and Manchester; and we trust he will meet with the same friendly reception at this port. A very singular accident occurred from a trifling cause the other day. It appears that a pilot, while crossing the west dock gate, observed a man en- gaged clearing the mud at the bottom, the tide of course being out at the time. In a playful manner the pilot dropped a very small pebble, which, singu- larly enough, struck the man above the bridge of the nose, causing him to fall senseless as if struck by a rifle ball. Of course the pilot, terrified at the result of his "lark," rushed to the man's assistance, and bad him removed from his perilous position. He soon recovered, but the pebble left a long scratch upon his nose, as if inflicted by a sharp instrument. THE SUDDEN DEATH OF A CAPTAIN. — The ad. journed inquest to inquire into the circumstances at. tending the death of Robert Bowden Shaxton, cap- tain of the ship Monarch, was held at the Town-hall on Thursday afternoon, before R. L. Reece, Esq. Mr. Pratt, surgeon, had made a post mortem examina- tion, and stated as the result of that examination that he beiieved deceased bad died through an over dose of a narcotic poison taken inadvertently. After some further particulars, the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence.

MEKTxilii. (Continued from Page 7.) FATAL ACCIDENT.—A shocking accident happened on Monday at Dowlais, by which a poor woman lost her life. She was crossing the highway when an engine and carriage came out of Caebarris-yard, and as she was deaf, no effort was made to get out of the way, and the engine out her literally in two. She presented a terrible spectacle when taken up, and the only consolation her friends had, was that the suffering was only momentary. SUDDEN DEATH.—Susan Jones, better known as Susan Hunte, a well-known huckster, was found dead in her bed, on Monday. She had been intem- perate of late, and it is supposed must have fallen into a fit, and so died. BOARD OF HEALTH.—G. T. Clark, Esq., chairman of the Board of Health, has just announced the election by the ratepayers of the following gentle- men David Evans, Esq., George Martin, Esq., Richard Thomas, Esq., John Bryant, Esq., and Lewis Lewis, Esq. Too BAD.-A respectable man in this town having a son in the army, received a letter a few days ago from London, informing him that his son was dead, and that if he or any of the family intended to be pre- sent at the funeral ne time should be lost. The death, it was informed, had taken place at Chatham barracks; so two of the family, a son and son-in-law of the old man, proceeded with heavy hearts to London. In the city they bought crape and gloves, for the mournful occasion, and then journeyed on to the barracks, where, to their utter astonishment, they found the soldier alive and well, and discovered that some unknown joker bad grossly hoaxed them WONDERFUL ESCAPE.-A very narrow escape was sustained at the Dowlais siding te the Vale of Neath Railway, on Monday. Just as the train swept down the siding a man stepped between the rails, and be- fore he could move they were on him. Spectators heard a cry and saw him fall, and no one expected to find anything but a mutilated mass. Strange to state, the moment the train of carriages passed he arose, his coat skirts only cut off andja slight bruise on his shoulder. Otherwise he was uninjured, having had the good fortune to fall in a hollow be- tween the plates! BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—The division of the medi- cal district into four parts has now been decided upon, and on Saturday the guardians will proceed to the election of four medical gentlemen. THE REV. CANON JENKINS AND HIS FAMILY.—It will gratify a great number of our readers in the county, especially in Dowlais and Merthyr, to bear that the worthy canon is enjoying the best health in C, his new home, and that the or nis happiness would be to have his old parishioners around him. It is also gratifying to learn that the Raw Alfrori Tonkins has been inducted into the living of Tregynon, presented to him by the late Lord Sudely only three days before that nobleman's desease. The Rev. Fothergill Jenkins was ordained priest the same week by the Bishop of Chester, and thus, pleasant it must be, for the rev. canon and Mrs. Jenkins, as they decline into the vale of years, to see honours attend themselves and family and pros- perity wait upon them. CXMRODOVIAN SOCIETY.—The following highly artistic and masonic compliment to the Queen was paid by our townsman, Mr. John Emerys Jones, at a late dinner of this society The great merits of our widowed Queen and her important relation to the community, or body politic, would be more clearly illustrated by representing our national greatness as the elevation of a noble architectural structure. The foundation we would lay on the broad plains of equality, fraternity, and liberty. Equality in the eye of the law; fraternity in respect- ing the law; liberty the protection of the law. The first step of the entrance is our religious institu- tions, the next following are freedom of opinion and the press. The base of the gigantic pillars are trade and commerce. The massive shafts are the represented and unrepresented population: and it is to be hoped that this distinction will resolve itself into a nobler one on the acquisition of the ballot and educational suffrage. The capitals of these pillars are the Lords and Commons, and the arch that rests on them is constituted of nicely adapted geometrical sections, representing the great State offices, so arranged as to sustain pressures and assaults from home and abroad. And now arrest your attention on the grand decorated key-stone that binds the whole together. That is our widowed Queen, de- corating her high elevation with all the graces where- with woman is gifted. The juncture of the hypo- tenuse in the pediment angles represent the union of Truth and Justice; and that blazing star in its centre, gleaming into continental serfdom, pourtrays the glorious indapendant administration of the law. The statue above, with an open volume in the hand, intimates that the whole of the arrangement and order below is under the direction of the Sacred Law, imparted by benign Providence. Thus it is seen the position assigned to her Majesty is of no insignificant worth. The position and the one who adorns reflecting a halo on each other. Long, very long, may she there reign as she reigns in the hearts of her subjects, and remote be the day when she descends from her lofty height to become a memory of the past." Mr. Jones's tribute was listened to with marked attention, and at the close loud and enthusiastic cheers expressed their thanks and their loyalty.

ABERDARE. (Continued from Seventh page.) ACCIDENT.-Goorge Phillips, aged two years, died on the 25th instant from the effects of injuries in- flicted on him by upsetting a kettle of boiling water whilst playing near the fire on the 18tb. His face, neck, and breast were dreadfully scalded, and after eight days, death put an end to his sufferings. FATAL OCCURRENCE.—An inquest was held on the 24th inst., before Geo. Overton, Esq., coroner, at the Castle Inn, Aberdare, on the body of Matthew Dove, aged 12 years. Howell Evans, haulier in the employ of Messrs. Powell and Sons, Plough Pit, said deceased was my door-boy. On the 23rd we were at work as usual, coming up the dip with two trams of coal. I had just started the horse, and left the boy standing by tbe side, as if he was waiting for me to pass. I had not gone more than five or ten yards, when the trams got jammed against the top, and got off the plates; my horse stopped after that I heard David Morgan calling out behind the trams; I went to him and saw the deceased in his arms quite dead his head was badly cut. The trams often catch in the top it is tbe six foot vein. David Morgan, collier, said, I was sitting down with two men in the dip when I saw Evans pass with two loaded trams, and the deceased following. Deceased got up on the hook between the two trams. The foremost tram got jammed against the top and went off the rails. A large piece of coal fell from the tram on to de. ceased, and crushed him to the ground between the trams. I called out to the horse, and it stopped im- mediately. I went Up to tbe trams and saw deceased lying between them. I did not see him fall, or know he was there, until I went up to the trams. I went there to put the coal on the tram. He was quite dead. Verdict, Accidental death." j The following appeared in our Second Edition of last week. I THE PONTYPRIDD WATER WORKS BILL. Yesterday, after two days'struggle, the Lords Com- mittee, before whom the new Water Company's Bill was brought, declared the preamble not proved. We are very glad that the scheme has been defeated, as no practical benefit could possibly be derived from a second works. FATAL ACCIDENT BY CABMEN. Another serious accident, which in this case has resulted fatally, occurred to a child named Mary Yarwood, last (Friday) night, which was entirely the work to two cabmen. At about seven o'clock the two men left the docks with their respective cabs, for the purpose of awaiting the arrival of the South Wales train. They proceeded along Bute-road at a very furious rate, and when turning the Whitmore-lane corner, they each attempted to get before the other. Some parties seeing the danger of the child called out to them to stop, but heedless of every conse- quence they continued their conduct, and the child was knocked down and killed upon the spot. The two men are William Newcome and Joseph Richards, and they were very properly taken into custody, and brought before the magistrates on Saturday morning, on a charge of manslaughter. The case was re- manded tiil Monday, the prisoners being admit- ted to bail.

CARDIFF POLICE.—YESTERDAY. (Before the MAYOR, R. O. JONES, and J. PRIDE, Esqs.) BROTHEL KEEPING.—Mary Kaohane was charged with keeping a brothel in Whitmore-lane. Three con- stables proved visiting the house, and finding the de- fendant in bed with men. Sentenced to one month's im- prisonment with hard labour. This was the fourth con- viction of the keepers of the house in question. SMUGGLING TOBACCO.—John Morgan, a licensed pilot, was charged with smuggling halfa pouud of cavan- disli tobacco, valued at 6s. Phillip Harris, custom- house-officer, met defendant on Friday morning, near the pier-head, and found haif a pound of tobacco in his possession. To pay 6s., the value of the tobacco, and 10s. costs. THIS DAY. (Before the MAYOR and J. PRIDE, Esq.) DRUNKENNESS.—Ellen Cochlan was charged with be. ing drunk and disorderly, and was sent to prison for twenty-one days' hard labour. BREAKING WINDOWS.—EHen Regan was charged by Samuel Evans, keeper of the Rothsay Castle Inn, Bate-road, with breaking three panes of glass on Friday night, and as there was five previous convictions against her, she was ordered to pay 4s. 6d. damage, and was fined 20s. and costs, or six weeks' imprisonment. STEALING MONEY.-Henry Stevens, hobbler, was charged by Richard Taton, joiner, with stealing nine shillings. Prosecutor stated that he went into the Pilot Inn, George-street, on Thursday afternoon, where he got drunk. He had a sovereign when he went into the house, out of which he spent about 5s. in treating himself and parties in the house. He kept the money in his hand all the time, and the following morning he found that 6s, was all that was left of it. Mary Foley servant at the Pilot, said she remembered serving Tuton with a pint of beer, and was giving him ninepence change out of the shilling when Stevens took it from her and put it into Stevens's hand, at the same time taking half a crown. out of the money which Taton held in his hand. She immediately went to tell her mistress, and on her return again saw Stevens take something out ofTuton's hand. Witness was pretending to look out of the window at the time, but she was sure about the occurrence. Taton was drunk at the time, and did not seem to know what was done to him. Sarah Gavin, the landlady, said she was informed by her servant what the prisoner had done, and she went into the room where the parties were. She had been there some time when she noticed the prisoner take something from piosecutor's hand and put it into his own pocket. The Mayor made severe remarks upon the conduct of the keeper of the house in allowing a felony to be committed in the manner deposed to, and for allowing a man to remain in the house seme seven hours, till he became beastly and incapably drunk. The case was a doubtful one, and the prisoner would be dis- charged. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. LEMBERG, March 19.—A telegram received here from Tarnow announces that Langiewicz defeated the Russians under the command of General Scha- schowsky, both yesterday and the day before, and captured considerable quantities of war material. CRACOW, March 19.-Intelligence received here from Lithuania states that all the marshals of the corporations in that province, all the judges and judicial officers, and all independent public func- tionaries, have sent in their resignation en masse. These resignations are based upon the resolution not to receive atiy communication 'tti tho guioinmoui in »«=>oiau language. The functionaries who have resigned are said to have declared infamous all who should consent to fill the positions they vacate. CRACOW, March 20, evening.—Langiewicz has been put to flight, and his force dispersed. CRACOW, March 20. Evening.-Langiewiez is now at Opotowice. His forces are rapidly dispersing. He wished to enter Galicit, and endeavoured to make the Austrian authorities consent to allow him to pass through that province without interference. This, however, was refused by the Austrian authori- ties. BERLIN, March 20.-Private letters received here from Warsaw state that. earthworks for fortifications are being thrown up around that city. The inhabi- tants of Warsaw believe that city. The Lyceum (su- perior college) of Warsaw has been closed, all the students having left Warsaw to join the insurgents. Enlistments for the revolutionary troops are carried on openly at Warsaw. The inhabitants are contri- buting their jewellery and plate to the national funds. DEMONSTRATION IN PARIS IN FAVOUR On Thursday, at the conclusion of the lecture de- livered by Professor St. Marc de Girardin, a large number of students set out for a palace of the Senate with the object of making a manifestion in favour of Poland. On arriving at the Place Odeon they were, however, dispersed by several brigades of police. During the sitting of the Senate the police patrolled the Place Odeon and the Rue de Yaugirard, in order to prevent the people from collecting to- gether. Some arrests were made in consequence of the demonstration which took place to-day. PARLIAMENTARY RECORD. THURSDAY, MARCH 19. In the House of Lords, the Union Relief Aid Act (1862) Continuance Bill was read a third third time and passed. There was discussion on the inefficiency of the City police, as shown on the 10th instant. In the House of Commons, in answer to Mr. Longfield, Mr. Layard said that since the breaking out of the civil war in America all communications between her Ma- jesty's government and that of the United States on the subject of the island of San Juan had been supended. On the motion for going into committee on the Tobacco Duties Bill, the Chancellor of the Exchequer appealed to Mr. Ayrton, who had given notice of a motion to refer the bill to a select committee, no.t to press that motion, on the ground that it was without precedent to sub- mit a financial question to a select committee, thus tak- ing the responsibility from the Minister of Finance. Mr. Ayrton controverted the arguments against going into a select committee, urging that the propositions of the Chancellor of the exchequer on the tobacco duties had been changed more than once, an acknowledgment of error and want of information which justified an inquiry. He moved his amendment. On a division it was lost by 170 to 87. The House then went into committee. The Chancellor of the Exchequer explained some minor altera- tions he proposed to make in the bill. A series of con- versational remarks on the details of the measure ensued between the right hob. gentleman and Mr. Ayrton. The clauses were agreed to and the house resumed. The House then went into committee on the Corrupt Prac- tices at Elections Bill, renewing progress at clause 8, which, after some discussion and amendments, was agreed to. Some clauses were added to the bill, and the House resumed. The Telegraphs Bill was then taken in com- mittee. The other business was disposed of, and the House adjourned at ten minutes to one o'clock. FRIDAY, MARCH 20. The business to-day does not require any special notice i at our hands. MUTINY AND LOSS OF LIFE AT BLACK- WALL. One of the most shocking occurrences that has oc- curred in the Thames for many years took place late on Thursday night, or early yesterday morning, I among the crew of the Peruvian corvette Arica, quar- tered on board the hulk Venus, which bad been lent by the authorities, lying in the river off Blackwall stairs. The affray, which lasted through the greater part of the night, was of the most desperate and sanguinary character, resulting, it is said, in the death of two officers and several of the men. The Arica has been for some time past in the West India Docks fitting out. On her arrival in the river the crew were transferred to the Venus bulk. They numbered about 160 men, of whom, it is under. stood 90 were soldiers. They were under the com- mand of Captain Gaspar Ecurria. It appears that on Thursday the soldiers were allowed to go on shore, when a number of them got intoxi- cated, and apon returning to the hulk at night contrived to smuggle a quantity of liquor on board. A scene of disorder and riot soon ensued, and the soldiers refused to obey the orders of their officers. Tbe latter, fin-ding that all their efforts to enforce discipline were without avail, called out the sailors to secure the most disorderly, and to clear the decks. This apparently roused the soldiers to frenzy, and they resisted with fury. A fearful affray ensued over nearly the whole ship. The sailors were armed with muskets and bayonets, but were, it would seem, without ammunition. Whether the soldiers were pos- sessed of their side-arms we have been unable to ascertain, but it is asserted that they made use of all the weapons they could lay hands on. The tumult and disorder on the main deck were fearful, the soldiers, maddened with drink, endeavouring to overpower the sailors; but the latter, by the free use of the bayonet, drove them down between decks. Here a kind of hand-to-hand struggle took place, and the soldiers for a length of time managed to prevent the sailors following them. At this juncture Captain Ecurria, who happened to be at his lodgings ashore, was sent for, and speedily arrived. The fight still con- tinued, and the sailors were defied and kept at bay. The captain, with drawn cutlas, dashed down amongst the mutineers, and the sailors seizing the moment fol- lowed. An encounter arose, and yells and shrieks of the excited and drunken men could be heard at a considerable distance. Jor a time it was difficult to say which side would prevail, and it was no doubt during this terrible period of the contest that one of the officers, Ensign Francisco Vidal, was threwn overboard and perished, and it is feared that others who are reported to be missing met with a similar fate. The glass and framework of the portholes were broken out, and the weaker of the combattants were seen to scramble over the side of the vessel into the boats alongside. This state of things continued until towards daybreak, when the soldiers were somewhat overpowered, although the uproar was by no means silenced. When order had been to a certain extent restored, and some of the ringleaders secured and placed under a guard, an examination took place of the deck, and it was found that two soldiers were lying dead, and several others were seriously if net mor- tally wounded. In the cabin were found the remains of a young midshipman, Guardia Marina, who had died while the fight was at its height. It appears that he bad been ailing, and it is believed that the excite- ment consequent on the fearful scene around him brought on his death. The two soldiers who were killed were named Pablo Vasquez, 25 years of age, and Simon Garcia, aged 24. Both had received bayonet wounds, and one of them had sustained a fearful blow on the head, apparently from the butt end of a musket. The three wounded soldiers were discovered to be seriously injured with punctured wounds over the head and chest. The doctor attached to the ship was soon in attendance on them, but owing to the dreadful confusion that pre- vailed it was difficult to administer aid. Shortly after daybreak the Thames police put themselves in com- munication with Capt. Ecurria, and measures were at once taken for the greater security of the ringleaders. The Peruvian minister and consul were apprised of the outbreak, and they immediately repaired to the ship and instituted an inquiry into the circum- stances. In the course of the day Dr. Braunfiend the surgeon to the police of the district, was reques- ted to visit the ship, to see the dead and wounded men, and advise the medical officer of the vessel as to the treatment of the sufferers. Hopeless accounts are given as to two of the sufferers. The last reports state that the men had become calm, but most stringent measures have been taken to prevent a renewal of the outbreak; additional heavy irons were sent down to the ship from London. Last night the bodies of the deceased soldiers were brought on shore in boats, and conveyed to Poplar deadhouse to await an inquest.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE NEAR BUR- TON-UPON TRENT. On Friday evening last, the lovely and pic- turesque locality of Winshill and Newton Mount was thrown into the greatest state of excitement by the report that a murder had been committed, and that the murderer 'had committed suicide, under the most painful circumstances. On in- quiring into the cause of the sad catastrophe, it was discovered that a young woman, named Mary Tomlinson, a domestic servant at J. Drewry's, Esq., solicitors, Newton Mount, had been the object of an attempted assassination by a young man named Joseph Simpson, with whom she had been on terms of the closet intimacy for some time. It appears, however, that she had been wounded on the right side of the head. directly below the ear, and although very severely injured slight lionea <f 1:0.0. Votrag v/iitpj. tained-she still survives the attempt on her life. It seems that directly after aiming the deadly shot at his sweetheart, and hearing her screams, he ran across two fields, and discharged the con- tents. of the remaining barrel into him own head. As far back as last Whitsuntide they were en- gaged to be married. Affairs went on very smoothly until a short time since, when he be- gan to feel jealous at her conduct. On Tuesday last, on the occasion of the rejeicings at the Prince of Wales's marriage, they went to Burton, and there entered into the enjoyments provided. At the conclusion of the day's festivities, she left the company of Simpson and joined another young man. which had the effect of irritating his temper. He went on Thursday evening last to Mr. Bar- ritt's, at Burton, and purchased a double-barrelled rifle pistol, with a quantity of powder and shot, and on Friday morning Simpson went to the residence of Mr. Drewry, where he asked a boy named Rice, to tell the young woman that he wished to see her. The boy told her, and she went to see him, when they had a short interview in what is called the bort-house." During their conversation there it appears that she gave back the ring he had purchased for their wedding. This interview was the last they held together. At about half-past four o'clock in the evening, the report of fire-amrs was heard, and on inquiry being made into the cause, she was found lying on the coal-heap in a state of insensibility. She was immediately attended by medical men, who rendered all the assistance possible. Simpson was seen loitering about the premises of Mr. Drewry during the greater part of Friday, but from his manner no suspicion was aroused as to the object he had in view. After shooting the girl he ran some distance, and shot himself through the mouth. Several went in pursuit of Simpson, but were unable to find him. He was, however, ultimately discovered by a man named Orme, lying in a ditch, with blood streaming from the wound he had inflicted by the pistol shot. He was not dead when found, but life was extinct before medical aid could be procured. CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY. For the time of the year, the imports of foreign wheat are on a full average scale. The business doing in it was by no means extensive; nevertheless, Monday's currency was fairly supported.

Mr. John Sully, a sporting celebrity, died last week, aged 80 years. Mr. Sully at one represented Ponteyfract in the House of Commons. His remains were removed on Saturday last from the county of Durham to Pontefract for interment. It was a pub- lic funeral. Mr. Peabody, the eminent American merchant, who has been resident at Nice for the benefit of his health, gave a magnificent banquet on the 10th in honour of the Prince's marriage. Lord Brougham was present. The following is the net decrease in the pauperism of the Lancashire district In the twelve weeks ended with February, 1863, 54,590; 1st week March, 1863, 1030: total, 56,520. The Nationalities states that an amnesty will shortly be published in favour of those officers and men of the Italian army who were found among the Garibaldians at Aspromonte. CONIEDERATE WAR VESSELS.-The steamer Sum- ter, now called the Gibraltar has been thoroughly repaired at the Birkenhead Docks, and is now ready for sea. The screw steamer Southern, intended for the Confederate service, was launched last weak at Stockton. The gunboat built by W. C. Miller and Sons, at Liverpool, for the Confederates was also launched last week. The La Plata has arrived from the West Indies. The Alabama was cruising off St. Lncia, in the West Indies, and it was reported had captured two vessels. Commodore Wilkes, in the Vanderbilt, left St. Thomas on the 1st of Marchjin pursuit of the Alabama.
