MIITINIE3 ON BOARD AIVIBRICAN BRIM

CALLAO, July 26.—During the last week Ye have had sayers!
%rises disturbances on board of American ships. The mate of the
American ship Morning Star was stabbed by one of the mat while
getting the ship under weigh, the rest of the crew drawing pistols,
knives, &c. The captain half-masted his flag, when two armed
boats from her Britannic Mlesty's frigate Monarch went to his
asistanco, and put the disaffected in iron,. The mata'a wound Is
not dangerona. The ship went to sea the following day. Another
mutiny (marred on board the Oliver Jordan. The crew drew
Vs`o's and knives on the mates ; the Monarch again sent armed
boats, and at the Captain's request, put sev n of the ringleaders in
irons. On the 25th the Electric Spark, Captain Titeomb, arrive&
with his crew in to state of me lay. They had had' possession of the
s'iip for two weeks, committing all kinds of outrages, and using
abusive language to the captan. Ciptain Titcombr informa meths
for two weeks he had to subsist upon preserved meats and anything
else that he wild find in the cabin—the cook and steward having
refused to cook any virtue's for him. Immediately upon' his arrival
here he obtai,ed assistance, and hr.d all the craw put in the cast's,
, but as there are no moans of punish ng thorn her., I suppose that is
a few days they will he liberated. The esence of an American man_
of-war at this port is greatly felt, and the shipplog interest suffers
greatly from it. There: Isnot any other port in the world that is
visited by such an amount of American tonnage: I find recorded as
having arrived here from the' Ist of Ju1y,.1856,40 the Ist of July,
1857, no less than 300 American ships, whose aggregate tonnage
amounts t 36,00010n5, durirg which' time we saw for a few days the
Et. Mary's, Lr a few weeks the John Adams. Callao station is not at
aliliked by the officeis of the UniteffStates navy; they prefer that of
YalParaiso, and consequently American ships-of—war Are never to be

FUND FOR THR,R)ILIEF OF TILE SUPVERVR4 IN INDIA.--
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, with his
accustomed liberelety, has forwarded. to the Lord Mayor,
as president of the committee fir Van relief of the -sufferers
in India, the handsome donation. of £lOO. A communica-
tion has also been received. from Sir James Melvill,
Secretary efethe East India Company, enclosing. a private
donation from• that gentlemaa, and assariug the committee
that their.: exertions meet with the cordial sympathy of the
directors. This, we true:, will, in a, great measure,
counteract an impression too prevalent in some quarters
that the entire onus and responsibility, of alleviattng the
great amount of distress existing amongst all classes,
whether servants of the C.ompany or not, will rest. wish the
Company. It must he obvious to every reflecting, mind
that there will of necessity be a very large °tam of our
fellowecoentrymen either wholly or partially misled by the,
recent caalamitdus events in Bengal, and whose claims for
compensation could -not be entertained either by the:
directors of the company or by the governmeztt.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-BATITIMAY.

LIVERPOOL.

BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.

Deentina TREMENS.-31r. Godfrey appeared on the part
of Samuel Finchett, a whitesmith, in Rainsford-gardens,
who charged his wife Marg tret with havin g threateners
his life and for annoying him. The case was remarksoole
fur the following reasons. It appeared that she had -been
in jail several times for offences similar to the present, and
that she had some fits of delirium tremens. She was
what is termed a very heavy drinker. Twelve months
ago she was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment
for attempiing the life of her husband and having ne-
glected her children. She came oiet of jail on Friday, and
at once eot drnnk, and then proceeded to her husband's
lsce of business, and seizing a piece of iron, she swore
she would murder her husband. Mr. Mansfield said the
vpinion of medical men was. that a person once having had
a fit of delirium tremens, and continued to drink afterwards,
'that it assumed the form of disease, and became confirmed
enadness. A Court of Sessions in Scotland had decided
in that way, and there was scarcely any doubt about it.
'He did not know if such a case had come before a leg4l
'tribunal in this country. He would remand the prisoner
for seven drys, and let her be examined by a medical man
who could report on her case.
A "DIPP&S" NIPPED —A respectably dressed and well
'looking young man, who gave the name of John Watson,
was broug'it en by Superintendent Boyd, charged with
the following offence. The pr soner was described as a
' dipper"—that is one of those " swells," who live in grand
style by dipping into the pockets of those who are sus-
spected to possess rah, Mr. Boyd, with his wife, and a
Mrs. Donegan, a perfumer, front London, were at the
gardens on Friday evening, and just as the balloon was
going to ascend, Mrs Donegan called Mr. Boyd's atten-
tion to the prisoner, and asked if he knew him? as le
had been following and looking very hard at her for some
time, and was then pressing very hard aeniust her. At
that instant the prisoner ran away and Mr. Boyd' followed
him, the lady, at the same time, calling out that she had lost
her purse. The ;officer followed the prisoner towards the
bear-house, where the prisoner flung something from his
hand, when he was seized by the officer who
held him by the hands, and had his pockets
searched, in which 15s. were found, and after that
ls. 6d. was got in his hands, and these two sums made
up the amount of silver that was in the purse The
purse was found in the place were the prisoner had flung
it. It contained Mrs. Donegan's return ticket to London.
Mr. Boyd, in reply to Mr. Barker frr the prisoner, said
"I charged him with robbing a lady." Did he charge you
with robbing him? (Laugter.) ." Yes, esiten I seized
him and was searching his pockets, he cried out I was
robbing him—he did not know I was an officer, as I was
in private clothes." Mrs. Donegan's evidence corro
berated the above history of the case. The prisoner
pleaded guilty, and was sent to gaol for six months with
hard labour, under the Criminal Justice Act.
THE PRIVILRGES OF A RECEirlT.—William Williams, a
recruit, and Michael Riley, were charged with having
assaulzed police officer 682. The prisoner Williams, had
. just enlisted, and was in a public house at the corner of
Fontenoy and Dale-streets with some other persons, one
of whom got very drunk, when the prisoner took off his
boots and jacket, and was going off with them, bat two
soldiers interfered, the prisoner insisted thanhe was pri-
vileged to do so in consequenCe of being a recruit. The
soldiers called the policeman, when bo'h prisoners
attacked, knocked him down, and ill-used him. The
soldiers, however, interfered, and after a severe struggle
the prisoners were captured. They ware fined £1 each,
or to be imprisoned for one month.
CHARGE .OF &Deemer, ABDUCTION, AND :ROBBERY.-
-John Cummings, a young man about 23 years of age,
described as a "striker," was charged with the above
offences. Mr. Campbell was f r the prosecution, and Mr.
Black for the prisoner. From the statement of Mr
Campbell it appeared that a hard-working man named
Francis Roland, who resides in Henderson-street, Park,
had a daughter named Mary, who, in January last, was
over 15 years of age. Her father had saved up .-C.:18 in
cash, which was sown up in the tick of the bed. About
the 13th of January last, the 1 risoner induced the father
and mother of the girl to go into a public-house with him,
and whilst there he gave them the " slip," and it would
appear from the evidence of an intelligent child named
Bridget Downey, that the prisoner and the prosecutor's
daughter entered the house of the latter, took the money,
and went off. Nothing more was heard oethem until Friday,
when the prisoner was arres ed on his return from America.
On his way to the station house he told the officer
603, who had him in custody, that he went to America
with the girl, and that she paid £lO for their passage ;
that he had left the girl in Rock and court, New York. Mr.
Gluck—Did he tell you that the girl stole the money ?
No he did not, but he admitted she had it, as he said he
raw it in her hand. The father and mother of the girl,
along with the girl Bridget Downey were examined and
crtas-examined by Atr. Block, the above being the facts
they prove]. Mr. Campbell asked for a remand of the
prisoner, but this was °Keeled by Mr. Bluok who strongly
contended that there was no evidence given to sustain the
detention of the prisoner. After some discussion, his
Worship remanded the prisoner, in order to have further
evidence produced.

Colonel Mauteuffel has been nominated Prussian
Minister at Vienna.

TOBACCO roa WOUNDS.—In the ewe of a snake bite
nothing is so feequeutly applied as tobacco leaf or sweet
oil. I remember the circumstance of a man who had been
to the " timber" for a load of rails, and in returning
home stopped to drink at a small spring a few rods off
the main road, aril upon rising was bitten in the leg by
an old ra.tlesnake. The man's leg soon swelled enor-
mously, and the pain increased, but upon the application
of some oil, which he premed at a cabin a mile or two
°a the road, and then a lot of cut and dry :(tho most
trashy tobacco), well damped and bound round the
swelling, all danger passed, and his leg was reduced to is
natural size by the time he reached home late in the night:
Indeed, the domestic medicine chest of the American back-
woodsman may be said to contain but two specifics—calo-
mel for the stomach, and tobacco for the .akin.--Notes
and Queries.
FEARFUL Boraza EXPLOST:N.—EarIy -on Thursday
morning, a fearful boiler explosion took place at the
colliery belonging to Messrs. &urges, Paley, and Co.,
known as the New Gawber Pit, situate about a mile from
Btresley. The Colliery, which is a large one, with engine
and boiler houses and a number of cottages, has barn until
very recently at a stand, in consequence of an irruption of
scat r into the workings some two yeas ago. It is worked
by two engines of 180 horse cower, with six tubular bailers.
About two o'clock, the people in the reighbourhoad were
alarmed by a terrific report. The people at the house
immediately opposite the engine and boiler house were
roused by it, and the blowing in of the windows of the
bedroom. On going to the scene of the explosion, one of
the firemen, named Joseph Broaden, was found some
distance from the pit, so seriously scalded that he lingered
in great agony till about- seven o'clock, when he was
released by death from his sufferings. On examining the
engines the explosion was found to have resulted from the
bursting of one of the boilers, which had destroyed the
large flue conveying the smoke from all the boilers into
the large chimney, and scattering the bricks and other
materials in all directions. So great was the force of the
explosion that large pieces of timber which were laid .a
short distance were raised up on end and turned completely
over, while a quantity of bricks and other debris were
blown a distance of 150 yards. Some piggeries close at
heed were levelled to the ground, and holes were made in
the walls of the dwelling brasses opposite, in which the
wind,ws were completely shattered. The residents of the
injured home owe their 'safety, in a great measure, to the
largo quantity of timber lying before the doors, which
broke the force of the shock. The probability seems to he
that the water had been allowed to get too low.
FRCNCH AND ENGLISH FISHEIMEN.—On Wednesday a
long inquiry was held before the North Shields magis-
trates, at the instance of Lieutenant Simpson, of her Ma-
jesty's cruiser Otter, who the night before had brought
the French fishing lugger, No. 274, of Boulogne, into the
Tyne, on a earge of an infraction of the fishery regula-
tions. Mr. Kewney, of the town clerk's office at New-
castle. wa`ched the proceedings for the master of the lug-
ger, Perre Charles Lohile'or. In consequence of the do-
mige done to English fishing vessels by the large craft
belonging to France constantly fishing within the pro-
scribed limits, three miles of the shore, the Otteris down
en the Northumberland coast this season protecting the
Engtish fishermen. On Saturday morning last a cable
belonging to Shields, and manned by three men, one of
whom was the owner, William Templeman, was catching
herring within about a mile and a half of the Northum-
berland coast, when the defendant shot his nets within
him, and damaged Templemares goer, to the amount of
201. It took place Mora daylight, and upon the English
beat going alorgside of the lugger to take its lumber, the
crew attempted to hide it, and one man tried to knock
Templeman overboard with an oar. He and his crew get
the number however, and were pnlliag away, when fire of
the French crew chased the boat and tried to sink he-.
Failing in that, they struck and ill-'iced the English
fishermen, who however fortunately escaped from them
without any more serious injuries than a goad beating.
As Roo as Lieut. Simpson heard of the outrage, ho
wort in search of the lugger, and speedily captured it
and the crew, and brought them into the Tyne. The
case was fully proved against them, and the master w
ordered to pay the plaintiff 281. for damage and loss,
or have his vessel detained in port during four mouths.
