14,., MUTINY AND MURDER ON BOARD A BRITISH SHIP.
'—Yesterday information was received in the City that the
bisquet, Ariel, from San Francisco and the Sandwich Islands,
bound fir India, having a mixed crew of Lascars, Manilla-
, ale°, and Europeans, had put into Anjier, and then proceeded
on her voyage. Some days after she had sailed, a number
of the crew returned in the launch to a place about 14 miles
West of Anjier. On being questioned by the authorities
. their replies were considered unsatisfactory, and in conse-
% quence the resident detained them until some tidings of the
Veaael were heard. It subsequently transpired that after
getting outside, and when off Java Head, the coloured por-
pni of the crew rose in mutiny, and murdered the Captain,
his wife, and the remainder of the Europeans on board ; they
then plundered the vessel of all the money and valuables
they could lay their bands on, and not knowing what to do
With the ship, scuttled her. A large sum of money and some
'valuable jewellery, apparently belonging to the captain's
'wife, were found upon them. The resident, after he had
,!'-ia44,1. found the foregoing to be true, forwarded the mutineers and
%LI Murderers to Batavia, where they will be dealt with accord-
;?N. 'fag to law.

from which, by the aid of a parabolic reflector, they are
enabled to read 30 feet off. This candle-tube may be filled
Bwith water, yet it can be instantly expelled and the light
