MUTINY IN THE ‘• CREOLE" SLAVER.

(From the New Orleans Picayune.)
FURTHER PARTICULARS.--At nine o'
clock at night
the slaves commenced the attack by shooting Mr.
Goddard, the mate, in charge of the c'eck, with a
pistol. The ball slightly wounded him in the back
of the head. He made for the cabin, and gave the
alarm to the captain and passengers, who had
" turned in." The negroes came forward, obstructed
the passage from the cabin, exclaiming, " We've
got 'em, kill 'em as they come out." Mr. God-
dard first rushed out, and, although bruised with
clubs and stabbed in one or two places, reached the
main rigging, and took refuge in the maintop. Capt.
Eason followed, and said he was badly stabbed, and
thought he was dying. Soon after he fainted, and
the mate made him fast to the rigging. A desperate
affray took place on deck. Mr. Howell, a passenger,
killed one negro with a musket, and fought afterwards
like a tiger until he was killed. Several oY the sailors
fought bravely until they were completely overpowered.
The captain and mate remained in the maintop until
about five o'clock in the morning, when they were first
discovered.

The ringleaders then ordered them to come down
or they would shoot them. Mr. Goddard descended
and told them he was at their disposal. One of them
presented a musket to his breast, and he was informed

he must take them to an English island, or they
would shoot him. He finally assented, and shaped
the course of the vessel toward New Providence.—
Two of the sailors were able to assist him, the others
had all been badly wounded in the conflict. In the
morning the captain was taken down, and, with the
second mate, Mr. Stevens, the captain's wife, his
daughter, four years old, niece, fifteen years old, and
one of the nassengers, confined in the forehold. In
the course of night the slaves had rifled the vessel,
broken open all the trunks and decked themselves out
in such clothing as they could find.
A(ter the arrival of the Creole at Nassau, the slaves
acknowledged that a Bsptist minister at Norfolk, named
Bourne, had advised them with regard to their course,
and given them directions how to proceed. Mr. God-
dard learned at Nassau that Bourne had formerly re-
sided there, and had absconded, leaving his family. He
is an Englishman, and about 40 years of age.
Forty of the slaves in the Creole were owned by
Thomas M'Cargo, of Richmond ; the balance belong-
ing to Johnson and Apperson. Mr. Howell was the
agent ofM‘Cargo, and was well known in this city.

Three of the slaves were killed in the affray, and an•
other died of his wounds after his arrival at Nassau.
Five more—four females and a boy—refused to accept
tLeir freedom, and came to this port in the Creole It
is worthy of remark that a dog belonging to the Cap-
tain fought furiously against the negroes, and bit several
of them seriously. de was finally killed.
We have soma interesting particulars in relation to
the conduct of the British authorities at Nassau.—
...

That the entire scheme was resolved upon before the
brig left Richmond, is evidea from the tact that the
negroes boasted at Nassau that they expected to en-
counter the brigs Long Island and Orleans, which
saiiel from Richmond in company with the Creole, with
cargoes of sieves. Both of these vesEels, however, are
safe in port. A full investigation of this case, we doubt
not, will present solle very strange developmet.ts.
