NurINY AND MURDER.

II is stated in an Amsterdam paper, Of the
sth of September, that Captain Nunuirgs,
of the ship African, who had arrived there
from ST. George d'Elmina, informs that
month before his departure, part of the
crew of the Three Friends, Captain c. Fol,
bound from Pernsmbuco and George DEL
NINA to Amsterdam, mutinied eight leagues
from George d'Elnina, and, after having
murdered the captain and pilot, blew up the
ship. Four OF the crew, not being of the
number of the mu,ineers, saved themselves
by fight, ard three Of them (the fourth hav-
ing died on the COAST were conveyed in the
African to Amsterdam.

more of them brought to light by the aid OF
the liberal appropriation, made by the Lee

AWFUL CONFEDERATION.

Extract of letter from gentleman in Will
mington, IN. c. to a respectable mercan-
tile house in Baltimore, dated 4ih Novem-
Der, 1919.
1t is with the deepest regret that we
have to inform you of dreadful confagration
that has taken place in this unfortunate town;
time will not admit OF particular descrip-
tom shall briehy therefore state that fire
broke out about half past two this morning in
Dock-street, near the river, extending up
both sides of the street to Second street it
extended from thence to Orange street, from
Thence along the north side of Orange-street
west to the river, from thence up the river
north to south side of Market-street wharf ,
thence east on the south side Of Market-street
to Front-street across Front-s,reet east TO
Second-street, and thence on the west side
of said street to the north side of Dock street,
laying in ashes every house, store and ware
house in those four squares, except the ware.
house occupied by A. Taylor, and the lower
brick house belonging 10 II. Kelly, Esq and
this was done in the space of FIVE hours -
The flames spread so rapidly owing to the
extreme and long period oil dry weather we
have had, that though considerable exertions
were made, and some houses blown up, it
was impossible TO stop their progress the
wind was at first about S. w. but proyiden-
tally veered TO the N. w. which arrested the
IRE. Had it crossed TO the north OF Market
street, DO not see what could have saved
the town. | am sorry TO say that the Presby-
terian Church, lately built by the inhabitants,
a very handsome and ornamental ediice, was
burnt to the ground. Several families were
driven into The street, having saved barely
their clothing, and the distress among the
poor is dreadful and it is to be hoped will
excite the commisseration and iberali.y of
the benevolent and the charitable. The a
