MUTINY AND LOSS OF LIFE ON BOARD

THE SHIP KELSO.

The annexed statement has been received by the
owners of this vessel, tram the master, Captain John lanes,
tarnishing sourate and interesting details regardiag this
shocking and fatal affray.
" Hug Homo, Sept 28,1!130.
We arrived hove um the 14th tut , having made mesa
the shortest usages that has yet been effected bourses OAP
Wale end this plus Oa the evening of the ITO Of
Aaron I found the eight men I shipped at San From**
' somewhat intoxicated, and upon examining our gainer
essinat wise be the Lamont), I discovered that the wood
elgneed spas thom had been removed, and one of the
make had been spited. Next day being Sunday I
had the hatches weU secured which had previously been kept
et is order to ventilate ths ship, and, while I was super-
Weeding this duty, I heard rep red threats of vengesue
glade by some of the mew, which I had some suspicion was
intended against myself; but thinking it but idle boasting
and bravado, I paid no attention wit at the time, but about
half-past seven the same evening two of the crew informed
me that some of the men had entered into a solemn 'gree-
nest to murder me and the stewatd that right, and half-
pest tea o'clock was: the hour named, when they expected
we should be asleep in our berths. They determined also to
miss the persons of the carpenter and metes, dispose of
them some how or other, ano thee run the ship teethe Cola=
his river, on the North West of Ameries,wkare they wouldn't
her. It appeared they expected to find a large amount of
mosey en board, which they were equally te Aare and dis-
perse. Oa* of the mutineers stated he had at out time been
master of an American whaling ship, and it was resolved
that he was to navigate the ship after I was murdered.
The two men said they could not assist sot openly, as
the rest of the mutineers were desperate wretches,
and they were afraid of them. Having ooly the two
mates (Clarke, an apprentice, sad Lxk, formerly a sea.
man), carpenter and steward, to stand eri.le me, I found
my only Mane* was to wait the attack. The steward had
been sick for the previous six ineaths, and could do unry
little, and the others Wlll.BO terrified that, however faithful
they might be, they could be of little wenn in a death or
lite straggle, each as might be expected with the ma-
einem. I ammedinely allowed everything to go es as
usual, taking care to have the carpenter, steward, and
mate t.ff duty and is my edits. I got three pLwL from the
um chest, but found it impossible to secure the rest of the
arms without excitiag the suspicions of the mutineers. Aboat
half-past raise I went on deck and gave the sena night is-
etrucioue to Clark. on watco, and went below into a dif
feriae mein from the one I usually occupied. I had L:ekia
the game cabin (the starboard alter cabin) with me, and I
had 'be carpenter in the one immediately before it, with the
steward. Throughout the voyage I had occupied the port
alter sable, and ernes leaving California I had kept a mall
Chinese lamp burets, at night, suasion% with the door open,
so that 1 south walk oat at once as any hoer of the night, the
teexperiencee of the officers actually manna, me to dose. I
loaded the these pistols taken fru' the arm chest and promoted
one to e acb, the carpenter, steward, and. Lock. My owe two
I pistols I kept =noir, and sat down at the door of the
cabin, is the dark, auxionsly waiting the attack, which
through some cause or other was deferred until about three
.'cluck in the morning, when I maw two men station theer-
selves on the quarter deck, sad mother man crawl into the
loabia door upon his hands and hues, Fees under the caddy
' table, and aft by the starboard passage. He had a bayonet in
hie right hand. I ordered him to stand. He was still coming
on when I fired and shut him dead. I immediately reloaded
the discharged pistol and went on the poop deck through the
followed by othi rs who were within, in the cabin. I
new found the mutineers hod got pomemion of the ship,
and had compelled the offing of the watch to take
1 chaise of the helm, and they had changed the ship's
I nurse- I new eddied the mutinous individuals to fume aft to
me ; they obeyed, end threw down their arms, all 'empties
one man (who was to be captain), who was armed with a
bayonet Islas hand and a large bowie knife IA his Wt. I
pve hlas three distinct orders to throw down hisarms : he
refused, and was rushing on me, when I fired, and seat a
baU through his body. Ile turned and staggered forward,
sad fell at the fore hatchway. After wardsl bud the other
two ringleaders put into irons and confined separately.
Nothing of any particular moment occurred during tee
genseiLtler of the passage, which only required great
caution to watch the prisoners from 'Kepler, as
I had now Only Befell effective hands on board to
navigate the ship. However. we arrived perfectly rote;
when I banded the prisoners over to the proper authorities.
They ere now committed for trial upon the 15th of October,
before the Supreme Court of the color y, and the witnesses
hound over to prosecute. You will no doubt feel assured
that this affair has caused me much anxiety nod uneasiness ;
hat I have the consolation that my conduct throughout this
most trying affair has met with the enemendetion of the
entire community both at Hong Moog and Canton; and has
bcon the cases of me receiving noisy warm congratulations
and kind receptions which otherwise I would have been a
stupor to. The nwineen had possessed themselves with
the contests of the arm chest, anti armed themselves with
the lawkees and bat onets. Fortoately they had no powder,
the result might have proved most disastrous.

Esq., and seended by the Mayor of Liehfleld. Alter it.
adoption Earl Talbot addressed the meeting. He said that
the Pope, though he mien have been induced to think
that the moment was propitious for striking his blew, mast
sow en, from the sttltade amazed by the English people,
that, (mead of taking a step in advance, he had in reality
done his oasis an injury. The spirit of the age was Jacked
one of toleration, bat if toleration should lead to snob ag•
greasing as they now witnessed, he (Earl Talbot) would
act hesitant to advoilate the re-enactment of the lave which
had been repealed.—Dr. Rowley, who followed, said he
thanked God that God had put it into the heart of Dr.
WINS= to advise the Pops to send out this bell, be.'
cause it had called forth such a &Wag of attachment
to the faith end eionstitation of the country as
was not supposed to exist.—Viscount Lewisham ensured
the meeting that he sympathised in its tone and feel-

(Hear.) He feared that no concession, no measure of any

VMS forward on this occasion. Viscount Anson and
I the Ron. r. Gough having sp,,ken, three cheers ware given
' to the Queen, and the meeting separated.
CaltlaaLL—A very numerous meeting of the
clergy of the diocese of Csrlisle was held at the Crown lan,
Pearith, or Thursday, for the purpose of memorialising the
Queen and pedrioning the Bishop of the dimes upon the re-
cent attempt of the Pope of Rome to establish a Roman catho-
lic hierarchy in this pantry. Shortly after 11 o'clock, about
100 of the elan resembled in the largo room of the ion.
Dr. Jackass toe rthaneellor of the dined* took the chair,
and in °polies the proosediegs said: The' last tits* they
met in that room wee upon the subject of catholic esancipa-
ten, which had been mended contrary to the petition
of the meeting (Les assembled. (Hear, bear.) The
utmost toleration had been granted ; equal elicit rights
had been °Wowed upon their Roman catholic brethren ;
and since that time they had evinced en inclination to
establish a Roman eatholle hierarchy is this countrt.
(Hear, hear.) In the sister country their titles had been
recognised, the preference having been given to them ever
our own sobles and prelates. (Loud cries of " Hear,
hear.") Considering this, they could hardly wonder at the
Pope igniting a ball, appointing • cardinal and bishops; the
cardinal probably ezpected that the same honour would be
twinned spa him as upon his brethren is Irel md. If so,
be would take precedence over our own English bishops.
On this solosat they ought sot to be slow or remiss is
exercising any authority with which they might be Wrested,
as it was the duty of the people of England to resist any
attempt to needs the Queen's priceptive. (Applause.)
