MUTINY ON BOARD A. BELFAST VESSEL.

On Wednesday the ship Allen Kerr, of Belfast, Captain Winter
bound from Ardross in to Norfolk, Virginia, United states, pat into
this port, the crew t eing in a state of mutiny. Tao ship left Ardros-
san on the 27th ult., and had proceeded to sea a considerable
distance, when the crew refused to pr reed further on the voyage.
We hare learned from her owner, Mr. James Barnett, that the
se tmen had been paid as usual, in monthly advance notes, and that
the vessel had not proceeded far to sea when signs of mutiay were
evideue -d among the crew—indeed, some of them, it appears, entered
her with the detirminat' on of not proceeding on the voyage. We
conye:sed with some of the seamen last night in the police-office, and
the most intelligent among them stated that the Allan Kerr is lOoiat
23 }ea's' old. All the man oa board bel:eved her hull to be sound
but when she was nine days at sea they found her rigging and pumps
got into su..-11 a state as rendered her completely unseaworthy. Al
the " fore.:astle hands," in this state of thiuga, passed aft, and told
Captain winter that th y would not proceed on the voyage, but that
they would " work" the ship int ) the ne crest British port Captain
Winter asked them if they were mad ? to whleh they replied that
they would not proceed further :on the voyage. The 'course of the
vessel was immeli -itely altered, and on arriving in Belrast. yesterday
the seamen were given into custody. The case will be investigated
at the police court to-day.—Narthern Whig.

APPREHENSION OF MR. E. A. GLOVER, LATE

M.P. FOR BEVERLEY.

Mr. Lewis, jun., of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, attended before
Mr. Henry, at the Bow-st eat police-court, on Satnriay, to tender
ball on b,half of Mr. Edward Anchmuty Glover, late !number for
Beverley, a prisoner in Newga' e. It will b 3 rem,mbered that during
last session of par lament Mr. Glover was nose Lied by the decision
of a committee of the House of Commons on the ground that he had
not the legal qualification, an I the committee then rec mmended
that proceedings should be taken agai ,st him for having made a false
declaration touching his qualiticatlon, an offence watch the law visits
with the pains and penalties of perjury. An indict cent arms accord-
ingly prepared at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court, and
a warrant was Issued under the hand and seal of Mr. Justice Cole-
edge, on the 17th instant. On that warrmt Mr. Glover • WAS appre-
hended, on the 73rd, by inspector Bray, of the A division, who
found him at 30. Coleshill-street, Pimlico, and was committed to
Nowgate by Mr. Jnstize Wightman, who fixed the amount of bail,
ordering fifty-eight hturs' notice. It was thus impossible for Mr.
Glover to be liberated till th s day ,Sattsr lay), as the stipulated tells
of notice, if given immediately, would have expired on Christmas
Day. Accordingly Mr. Glover was compelled to spend that day in
prison. The bail tendered were Mr. Charles Harcourt, of Great
George street. Westminster, solicitor ; and Miss Margaret Grace
Toker, of "The Oaks," Ospringe, Faversham. Kent, and 39, Wilton-
crescent, Ftelgrave-square, described as asp nster. The bail having
been approved, Mr, Giover was sent -or to Newgate and in a very
short time arrived and was brought into court. He was then bound
over in hie own recognizences for £5OO and his two sureties in
ad'2so for his appearance at the next sessions of the Central Criminal
Court. With the exception of stating his a ;dress t be " 39, Wilton-
crescent," Mr. Glover d'd not utter a word while in court. To the
question if he w s ' cont-nt to be so bound" ha replie 1 by a slight
inclination of the head. The recognixances 'haring been mtcle oat,
Mr. Glover was sat at liberty, and left tke court with his friends.
