Yesterday the Sessions for the trial of offences committed on the 'High'Seas were bolden before Sir WILLIAM 'SCOTT, Judge Advocate, Sir Sudo); Lz BLANC, and a Bench of. Civilians. - . .Acpw, a Chinese seaman, was indiaed for the murder of h native of the same country, named An guen, on 'board the Travers Indiarnan, on. the 24th of May list, off the Azores. •The principal witnesses in this case were Captain Saunders, of the 'Thivers,•his first and 'second Mates, and some of the Quartermasters of the Ship. It ap peared from their evidence, that the Prisoner, and several other Chinese seamen, had been - taken Oa board at Bengal.to compose.part of the crew of the Ship on her homeward-bound voyage. The deceased officiated as Cook. M 1 the Chinese seamen, it ap, peared, could speak some words of English, though very indistinctly. On the 24th of May, about half past two in the morning, Anguen was found :dead. on the lower deck, near his hammoCk. The Second Mate, who had the watch, and some of the Quarter masters, who were on the quarter deck, heard 010 groans of the deceased, and ; upon their going down, they-discovered thePtisoner standing . near the body, with his-hands all over blood. He heid a knife in his hand, which was bloody. 'When the body_ of the deLased was examined, the. head was found to bp almost separated : in all there were nineteen wounds in the body. When the Prisoner was,seized, he said---," Anguen tell me lie, me kill .Anguen—that China fashion !' A; Chinese seaman - , named Agow, about the same.. time this fransadion happened, was awakened by a person calling out, " Man kill me.': He groped about in the dark towards the quarter from which the sound came, which was •in the, dire-Won of Anguen's hammock, and as he:approaated, received a wound , in his _neck. 'He .then returned to his • _hammock. This was the substance of the evidence against the Prisoner. He appeared very indifferent to i,v4t was passing. An interpreter explained to. the Court and the. Jury the evidence of the Chinese seaman, • and in formed the prisoner what _the English witnesses stated. :When the prisoner was asked what be bad .to say in his defence,' he replied, through the inter. preter, that they might cut off his head, or bang him, just as the English- custom might be, it was all one to, him; for he :had killed Anguen. The Jury returned a.verdia of Guilty. • Wiq. SCOTT immediately passed sentence of death upon him in'the usual form, but respited him uotil this day se'nnight. This, we understand, was 'done on account of the state of the-tide.
