MUTINY ON THE HIGH SEAS.

PLYstouni, TntAtsDAY.—During the past week a case of
an extraordinary character has been undergoing investiga-
tion before W. H. Hawker and Joseph Whitefo d, Evqs.,
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,
came 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 violence that he would do
them some serious harm. The case was first briefly heard
on Friday ; it was then adjourned till Tuesday, and has
been continued from day to day since. When 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 free till Tuesday morning, about
eleven o'clock, when they were also taken into custody, and
only a boy was left free.
Tue 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 a man
on board a vessel of which he was the commander, for which
offence it is stated that he was imprisoned for six months.
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 hag, 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 for trial to the next assizes, with the exception of
Nettles, the steward, who was discharged.

BLACK AND WHITE DISTINCTIONS.—Four of the
4,000 Ethiopian ,tierenaders, ut priisent in England, up-
pli,d fir berths on board the Cambria, to return to their
native Ethiopia, but were refused on account of their
colour. It was only when they had taken the soot off
their faces, and had washed their hands of the foul dis•
grace (if being genuine blacks, that they were allowed
to associate with the American passengers. - We wonder
the Yankees, in their l'atred of everytfing black, do nor,
when they represent Othello, make him a white general.

FATAL FALL FROM A MAST.—Yesterday an inquest
was taken before Mr. Baker, at the Black llorse, High-street,
Poplar, on view of the body of John Bowman, aged 69 years,
a rigger on board the brig Agnes, lying in the West India
Export Dock. It appeared in evidence that on Wednesday
morning last the deceased was engaged aloft in furling the
topgallant sail, when he suddenly lost his balance, and he
was precipitated with great violence on to the (pay, a dis-
tance of thirty feet. He was immediately ralikil from the
ground by several of the sailors belonging to the ship, but life
was found to he quite Pi ti net. Verdict, "Accidental death."
We regret to have to announos the demise of Wil-

don, Knight, and Co., of Doswell-street, which ,oectured at
