MUTINY IN A SLAVER.

Captain J. It. Crosbie, of the brig Elizabeth
Wood, from Nassau, 'New Providence, sailed
the 21st November, reports that the brig Creole,
of Richmond, Virginia, bound to New Orleans
arrived at Nassau on the 9th November, with
about 150 slaves on board, in a mutinous state.
They obtained possession of the vessel, and de-
manded that they should be landed at a British
colony. Having disabled the Captain, and killed
some of the crew, they murdered Mr. Howell,
part-owner 'of the slaves, who was passenger on
board, by severing his head from his body, and
afterwards throwing his remains overboard. They
compelled another ship-captain, who was on board
as passenger, to. steer the brig to Nassau, where
he made the above report on arrival. Several
of the ringleaders were placed in prison, and the
rest of the slaves suffered to go at liberty. It
was reported that the Americans protested
aiainst their being allowed to land, hut without
effect. The Creole had sailed again for New
Orleans in charge of the crew.

Letters from Madrid mention that the Govern-
ment had obtained possesSion of the Bull granted some
time since by the Pope of Rome for authorising the
solcninization of marriage bet Ween Maria Christina, ex-
Queen Regent of Spain,', and Mono; her well-known
paramour, and legalising it wherever and by whomsoever
performed, whether by prelate, parish priest, or friar of
"orders grey," or of any other complexion. This
singular document, it is believed there, will be laid
before the Cortes at their approaching session, in justi-
fication, together with her, participation in the O'Donnell
insurrection, of the extreme measure adopted provision-
ally by the Regent Espartero of embargoing the pay-
ment of the dower stipulated by settlement on Maria
Christina's marriage with the late King.
