o
A mutiny of a serious character has taken pleas
on board an American ship, the Wandering Jr!,
64W-li° Qiieeiudown on.Sundai by the screw
steamer Faloon, of Cork. On arriving off Haulbow-
hoe, the captain sent a message on shore to state that
his crew was in a state of mutiny, and that his chief
mate was seriously wounded by, one of the mutineers;
and a boat was at once sent off to the ship with a
company of police fully armed, and thirteen of the
mutineers were arrested. The depositions of the chief
mate and some of the crew were then taken before
Mr. Drew, J.P., and the prisoners were removed to
Bridewell to await a magisterial inquiry. From the
evidence of the captain and principal witnesses it
appeared that on the evening of Saturday last, the
15th, the vessel being then about twenty miles off
Ballyootton, the chief mate, Mr. Samuel Wright, sent
one of the seamen, named John Samuel Jones, for-
ward to the larboard watch, directing them to come
aft and remove an empty cask. The men refused
to go aft or remove the cask, and though Jones
repeatedly asked them to obey the orders of the
mate, they one and all peremptorily refused. Jones
reported the refusal of the crew to the second mate,
Mr. Johnson, who went forward himself and asked
the men to return to their duty, but they again de-
clined. The second mate directed the seaman, Jones,
to go aft and tell the mate that the men refused to
obey his orders, upon which he at once went forward,
and called to the men to come out of the forecastle.
The mate caught hold of one of the men, and pulled
him out, when John Woods came out of the forecastle,
came behind the chief mate, drew his knife from out
of the sheath, and stabbed him over the shoulder,
inflicting a deep and dangerous wound in his chest.
Woods then struck at the second mate, but
he fortunately avoided the blow ; and at
this time several of the crew rushed out of the
forecastle with their knives unsheathed, and with the
most threatening gestures. The ship was at once put
about, and, in some hours after, the Falcon was for-
tunately seen, and the captain signalled to her
to come alongside. The Wandering Jew was
then taken in tow, and brought into Cork Harbour in
a few hours after. An investigation was held on
Monday in the Petty Sessions Court, Queenstown,
before Messrs. Drew, J.P., Tarrant, J.P., and Captain
Pollock. The mutineers were brought up from the
Bridewell under an escort of police, and placed in the
dock. The names of the prisoners are John Woods,
Owen Haywood, Daniel Brown, William Wessel,
Antonio Brown, John Shearman, John Pageto, John
Pateny, Antonio Gomus, otherwise Goleomue, John
Souza. Nicholas Mitchell. Peter Myer. John Jarman,
and Rudolph Teydel. After hearing the evidence of
the second mate, and of a medical man, who deposed
that the wound inflicted on the first mate was a dan-
gerous one, the bench decided on detaining the pri-
soner Woods, and the Portuguese Souza, who was
the only other man distinctly recognised as having
drawn a knife, until the opinion of the proper legal
authorities can be had upon the law of the case. The
other prisoners, who appeared to be mostly foreigners,
and generally unacquainted with the English lan-
guage, were then discharged.
On Saturday last Mr. Caulfield, governor of the
Four Courts hlarshalsea, regaled all the poor debtors
confined in the prison with a substantial dinner of
roast beef, &c., in honour of the fall of Sebastopol
and the safe arrival in England of his son, Captain
Caulfield, of the Coldstream Guards, from active ser-
vice in the Crimea. In the evening the windows of
the prison were brilliantly illuminated by the
debtors.

BANAGHER GREAT ANNUAL FAIR.—MONDAY.--a
The hone fair was held this day, and the show was very
numerous,
numerous, but chiefly of an inferior description. Dewed-
iogly high prime were asked, but very few sales were
effected. The marring wore a lowering aspect, and about
one o'cleck the rain commenced and continued during the
afternoon, which caused a clearance of the
earlier than usual. Contrary to all expectation then
were bat very few buyers for the army, and they pur-
chased bat • small number of strong colts. Colonel
Beberte bought some very fine then-year.olde for the
esmetabolary, but did not succeed in getting the fall
somber he required. The demand in this elms was slack,
inapt for strong ones, which brought remunerating prices,
ranging, according to aim end quality, from 201. to 40L
There were plenty of buyers for aged horses, hat few of a
good class were exhibited for sale. Good useful animals
for farming purposes sold freely, from 161. to 261.; but
backs mid hones in that line were not in much request, and
the greater portion being so bad were unsaleable. The fair
for holders of hones was a bad one, and many this day wen
anxious to effect sales at fully five per eenV below the
prices which they were offered in the stables on the two
preceding days. There was a large attendance of English
and Dublin dealers. One of the former purchased upwards
of twenty young colts. The highest price obtained was
861., by Kr. Lloyd, of Lloyaborough. for • six-year old
untried horse; and Mr. Banbury, of Lisbryan, got 801.
fee seotber.
NaVarr FAIR, SEPT. 17.—Oar September fair was
held on Monday, and notwithstanding the unfavourable-
sue of the weather in the forenoon, the supply of cattle,
de., inelndieg a good deal of stock shown by the wealth,
feeders of this °aunty, was aot hiemisidereble. In add
tion to the ordinary early trains from Drogheda,
Desch, and Beauparc, the Dublin and Drogheda Rail-
way Company despatched epeeist trains at an early halm
for the conveyance of those anxious to attend the fair. The
attendance of buyers was greater than that of sellers, which
had the effect of giving an upward tendency to prices of most
kinds of stock. Prime beef sold at about came rates as those
obtained a week previously at the fair of Kelly, and may be
quoted at from 60. to &id. per lb. The demand was good.
The exhibition of sheep was also tolerable, they brought
high prices, mutton ranging from fltd. to 7d. per lb. Baal
pigs were not in demand, but stores were sought after, and
sold at advsnad prices. Slips fetched generally from 19s.
to 225. each, and suckers from 265. to 365. per pair. A
moderate show of borne, and sellers appeared satisfied with
the sums realised for the animals disposed of. Some creek
06110 brought a high figure. Taking the fair on the whole,
the effect of the late successful news from the met of war
would seem to make everything look upwards.

EXPERIMENTS WITH ELECTRIC AND OTHER
LIGHT, AT WOOLITICIL—On Monday evenieg last
lengthened experiment took plate at Woolwich, on the
upper part of the Common, in the presence of the select
sommittee. The experiments were with three different
kinds of lights, for war and other purposes. The first was
the sleeve light, which was exhibited by Mr. loglige;
the ascend, the •• Drummond Light, e
"exhibited by Sergeant
B. P. Jones, of the Royal Sappers end Miners ; and the
third the " Bade Light." invented by a Mr. Gurney. re-
siding In the meaty of Cornwall, who elm entrusted it to
the care of Semesat bones. The night was not • favourable
ens for the trial, but the electric light appeared to have the
power of penetrating the farthest into the darkness, and
was the meet brilliant ; but the Drummond also possessed
some 'delisted's. It was more portable, and could be carried
by two or three men each taking a portion of the apparetu,
wherewith@ Muftis light was so cumbersome as to require
waggon drawn by two horses to matey it from place to

plant:-
