ARRIVAL OF THE CLYDE STEAMER

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MORNING.—The Royal Mail
Steam-packet Company's steamer, the Clyde, arrived at
Southampton at a late hour last night. She left Havannah
16th April, and brings all the mails. They were landed at
Falmouth, and will not be received in town till to-morrow.

We have received by this vessel a file of Ilavannah pa-
pers to the 16th ultimo, but they contain nothing of im-
portance. The Creole men were liberated by the Court at
Nassau on the 16th of April.

The Clyde has brought a quantity of money for the pay-
ment of the Mexican dividend.

THE CREOLE MUTINEERS.

The 17 men who remain of the 19 originally confined in
the gaol of this town, under circumstances with which the
public are already familiar, were this morning discharged by
proclamation of the Special Court, or general gaol delivery,
which was convened for the occasion, and before which they
were arraigned in order that they might undergo a trial for
piracy, should any prosecutor appear. The United States
consul requested further time that he might procure evidence
to substantiate the charge ; the court, however, decided that
it would be most unjust further to detain the men, as there
was not even a possibility of procuring any evidence which
could bring the crime home to them. They were accordingly
discharged.
