MUTINY !AMONG SEAMEN.—William East, John Smith,
Andrew L. Hammer, Charles Greenland, Fred. Tyler, and
Arthur Sharp, seamen belonging to the ship Magnificent,
were brought before Mr. Paget, charged under the 243 d
clause of the Merchant Shipping Act, with refusing to pro-
ceed to sea in the vessel on a voyage to Melbourne and
elsewhere.

Mr. C. Young, solicitor, prosecuted, on behalf of Mr. R.
Hughes, the owner of the Magnificent, which is a ship of
1,282 tons register. He said the ship was to have gone
away this morning, but owing to the refusal of the priso-
ners to proceed to sea, the vessel could not leave the river
until to-morrow or next day. The men signed articles at
the Sailors' Home in Well-street on Wednesday last, and
joined the ship on Saturday. Yesterday they refused to
work, and said the dinner was bad. In the evening they
said there were too many foreigners. Three of the pri-
soners, Smith, Hammer, and Greenland, were foreigners.
Captain Ormond Thomas said the ship was well pro-
visioned, and the dietary scale unexceptionable. He was
out of the ship when the dinner was cooked. He promised
them that he would make everything comfortable on the
voyage.

East said that a lot of beef which had been knocking
about the forecastle for three days was cooked yesterday.
When he complained of it the steward laid it on the cask.
The captain pointed his finger at him and said, I wish I
had you in deep water. He would not go in the ship with
such a captain for £lO per month.

Captain Thomas said there was really no cause of com-
plaint.
East said he was sneered at.
Captain Thomas said that what ho said was not meant as
a sneer.

After a long discussion Hammer, a Swede, and Tyler, an
English lad, agreed to return to the ship. The others said
they would rather go to prison than go in the ship. A
row the first day they were on board did not promise well.
Mr. Paget discharged Hammer and Tyler, who, he said,
had acted like sensible men. There was really nothing
to find fault in the vessel or the captain. East was the
ringleader, and he sentenced him to eight weeks' imprison-
ment and hard labour, and Smith, Greenland, Walters, and
Sharp to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour.

DEATH OF THE GOVERNOR OF THE MILITARY
KNIGHTS OF Wixnson.—Major Charles Moore, the governor
of the Military Knights, died on Sunday at his residence in
the Castle-yard, Windsor, at the advanced age of 90 years.
This veteran officer had discharged the responsible duties
which attached to him as governor of the Military Knights
for 22 years, with the same high honour and ability
by which he was characterised in his long military service.
Major Moore was a considerable time in the cavalry, prin-
cipally the sth Dragoon Guards, but afterwards exchanged
to the 32d, or Cornwall Regiment of Foot. He was at the
siege of Cadiz, and for five years was employed in the
arduous service, both at sea and on shore, of protection of
slaves on the pestilential coast of Africa. He has died uni-
versally esteemed and regretted.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF MESSRS. DAMN'S
FOREMAN, OF LUDGATE-HILL. —INQUEST, THIS
DAY.—This morning, at 11 o'clock, Mr. Payne, the deputy-
coroner for London and Southwark, held an inquest at the
house of Messrs. Griffith and Farren, booksellers, 21, Lud-
gate-hill, on the body of Mr. Wm. Fenton, aged 55, fore-
man to Messrs. Dakin and Co., tea merchants, No. 1, St.
Paul's-churchyard, who committed suicide under very
painful circumstance's. Mr. Alfred Fenton said that the
deceased was his brother, and had been employed by the
Messrs. Dakin as foreman for a long time. He had been
seriously ill for a considerable period. Wm. Barron, an
assistant at Messrs. Dakin's, said that he knew the deceased,
who complained very much of pains in his back and head.
On Saturday last he spoke to him, about two o'clock, when
he complained of having passed a restless night. Edward
Lovett said he was an assistant at the same establishment.
On Saturday last, after dining in the house, he went out
to Shoemaker's-row and returned again, took off his great
coat, and ran up-stairs. Some time after, he found deceased
hanging by a rope which he had passed round his neck and
after tying it to the top bannister, he must have thrown
himself over. He was cut down. Dr. liaise was sent for,
who, upon his arrival, pronounced life extinct. Dr. liaise,
of New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, said that he had attended
the deceased for four or five years, until 1858. He attended
him for inflammation of the palate, which might affect the
brain. He seemed at that time to suffer most acutely. He
had an ulceration on the side of the head, which affected
the palate, and he had a portion of the bone of the nose
taken away. William Day said the deceased had suffered
a groat deal on Sunday night, and on Saturday he seemed
worse, and his eyes were blood-shot. From an examina-
tion made by the heads of the establishment it was satis-
factorily proved that the accounts were quite correct. The
learned deputy coroner summed up, and the jury returned
a verdict of temporary insanity, when the proceedings
terminated.
