0. morning a large 'crew steamer put into
Portland Road., having lost her cai,tain. libe was the
eyphrecee, • - - ship of 1274 toui register.
. .

, _ , a passenger
belonging to Meier& Stephena, of Dundee, and the
captain was son of one of the owners, and about 28
years old. The Cyphrenes left London for Sydeey, at
7 on this 11th Mat, with a valuable Kitimat cargo, mad
37 passengers. The next morning, at about ball-past 8.
tbe captain left ids cabin to take a walk on dick, and
have a pipe. In the cabin was his wife, • young Is 'y
19 years old, in an intertsting state. She had waited
sours time for her husband. and was even getting tins
easy, when the mate knocked at the cabin door, to
apt isk to the captain, and the wife told hint her kueband
was on deck. The mate fought him ; but he could not
be found, and next a thorough search over the vessel
was ux.de, but no trace of him was discovered. There
was no watch aft at that time of the mornine, and the
vessel being steered from midahlia, he might have
walk, d over the stern without being MM. Toe two
chief effieere came tabors and telegraphed to their
owners, and on Tuesday morning some of the poor
wife's friends came dews' and took her home. On
Tuesday teeming a fresh captain arrived for the
Cyphrenes, and the Teasel put to NO OR Wedateaday

SUNNY PIMPS lIITO FORRION LARD& —This was the
appropriate name for a number of very pletudog views
exhibited at the Bells Vire Assembly Rooms on Monday
evening last, by M. and Madame St. Clair, nee Miss
Barbara Fyfe, formerly of Dorchester. There was a
good attendance, the priecipal attraotion to many being
the lady's lecture on "Women'. Rights." The views,
however, were good, and exceedingly well eeleeted,
including some of the specially beautiful or sensational
scenes in the who'd world. The flrat section mobraeed
the journey from Kngland to Madeira, Teneriffe, this
West Coast of Africa, and up the actress of the
Zsmbeal with Dr. Liviogstoue to the wonderful
Victoria Fails. Next we entered on the explorations
of Captains Spate sad Grant. Both were geographical
treats, and to those who oared nothing fir travel, the
beautifol pictures were of themselves charming. After
• view or two in Jerusalem, we went to India, its
Archipelago, aid to Chine, noting the wonders of the
Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Borneo, the Poilippinee,
and Chins, and some of the picture' were splendid
&perinatal' of art. Japan and kidder's were next ran-
sacked, and alter • wondrous view of that old hut litt:e
known Lake Baikal, with its immense cliffs, we went
over Behrings straits into North America, saw the
Foquimaux, and then down through Utah, eastward to
the Atlantic States, and so home, arriving in time ft r
the disaster of the Northitet. After this we had that
threadbare euene, the Holy Sepulchre. The lecture by
Mrs. St Clair was • ohariningly practical and con:moon-
memo production, and enti.ted on her aide the syli.pathy
of all. She advocated for ladies education in common
things, such as it is the fashion to say that ladies of
the prevent day are without. We don't believe it a blt ;
tho real lady of the preseut day, the " broad-gloer" of
the iouseleld, as the good 13.ixon word mes, s, Is well
veg.:minted, secordieg to our °aperient's, with these
Impott•ot points. The only veinier' remaine, what Is
a Indy A:1.1 f.:r those who aro not "ladles,' but only
r oh woman, Mrs. St. Chies recomtnendations were well
suited, A,yway, they were so kindly sod hmbly
given as to commend themtelvos to the c milder:dim of
all. The lady's musical aorrompaniments were also

John Thomas Slater had sails' in the vessel from Hacre, and

had a belaying pin behind them, some iron and some wood.
Witness taw the second mate knocked down with • belaying

The captain was recalled, and said a belaying pin passed his

Charles Thoinj.on, the o'lth:taker, • Norwegian, said the
revolver was broken, and there was no powder on board. The
secoml mate borrowed it of hits. One man mine and called all
hands, and said they were going to start. One said he had bean
quiet long enough, and he should not be quiet any longer while
he WM on board. The captain talked to them, and
two men were called to do something with the braces, whey
they mused and neon, and said he must have all hands. A
belaying pin was thrown at the captain; but he did not see any
one knocked down.
P.S. Apsey Weston beard the vessel with two idler's, aud •

done to the windowe and the framework, either by the belaying

the partition which divides the captain's berth hum the chief
mates. The blood had spurted out on the deck The captain
gave the men In custody, and went with the chief officer of

They roused up, and one said "Now, turn out, one and all,
