MUTINY ON THE HIGH SEAS.

PLystorm, 'Nunsßax.—During the past week a case of
an extraordinary character has been undergoing investiga-
tion before W. 11. Hawker and Joseph Whiteto.d,
two of the borough magistrates ; and the matter has ex-
cited greater interest than any question which has come
before our court since the case of the Brazilian pirates.
Ten men, constituting nearly the whole of the crew of the
James Campbell, a barque of three hundred tons, belonging
to Glasgow, bound for Batavia, and thence to Singapore,
cnme into this port on Thursday last, having their master,
Mr. William Graham, in custody, bound, and kept guard
over by the men in turns, the seamen saying that they
were afraid from his known vi,letice that he would do
them some serious harm. The cave was first briefly heard
' on Friday ; it was then adjourn:A till Tuesday, and has
been continued from day to day since. %Viten the ship was
brought into port, the first mate went to Lloyd's agent, and
acquainted him with the circumstances that led to the cap-
tain's being taken into custody by his men ; but subsequently
the crew were given into custody, all but the first mate and
the steward, who were left tree till Tuesday morning, about
eleven o'clock, when they were also taken into custody, and
only a boy tt'as left free.
The circumstances arose out of the intemperate language
and manners of the captain, who, it appears, has already:been
tried at the Central Criminal Court for knocking down amen
on board a vessel of which he was the commander, for which
offence it is stated that he was imprisoned for six mouths.
He has also been fined 5/. at tha court at Madras for a si-
milar offence. At the same time the course the prisoners
have pursued in bringing the ship home has, it is said, Occa-
sioned a loss of at least 1,2001. _

The evidence was of great length, and this evening the
bench, after deliberating, committed the whole of the pri-
soners ftir trial to the i.ext assize, with the exception of
Nettles, the steward, who was discharged.

BLACK. AND WIIITE DISTINCTIONS.—Four of the
4,000 Ethiopian Serenaders, at present in England, ap-
plied fur berths on board th,?. Cain'Jria, to return to their
native Ethopia, but were refused on account cf their
colour. It was only when they had taken the soot off
their face's, and had washed their hards of the foul dis-
grace of being genuine blacks, that they were allowed
to associate with the American
passengers. We wonder
the Yankees, in their I tared of everytt ing black, do*no-,
when they represent Othello, make him a white general.
