During ten agonizing minutes, he remained
suspended there, graphing for life, aud
entrea.ing mercy. Did your heart relent
on this occasion 1t was moment for
repentance, for submission, for humanity,
for mercy. Did you listen to the appeals
of conscience to the pieadings Of the mis-
cradle wretch just sinking into eternity aud
looking round for the last hope OF safety.
"No---no. There was no mercy there.
You stabbed him with many wound, till
exhausted with fatigue and loss OF blood,
he seemed ready to fall. dying, faintins

last feeble hold on life. He dropped. The
ocean threw its dark waves over him, and
he was gone for ever. He was sent to his
final account without preparation, and
without warning. 1t was most cruel,
ferocious, and unnatural murder Yet ii
stood not alone. The transition Of the
mate, from sleep TO death, though more
sudden, aud less terrific 10 its circnm.

were heard on the desoate ocean, aud then

The following laughable scene. at which
| was present, took place few days ago,
1t may perhaps amuse your readers.
A large Green Turtle was to be killed
at one of our principal Hotels. Its I'M
common size, and the manner Of despatch.
ing it attracted the attention of several o.
the boarders. At the moment the black
execuiioner, was about to commence the
Operations, and drawing the keen carving
knife across the throat Of the suspended
aninIal--Loi at the moment the fata
weapon was entering, the turtle in most
pitifnI tone cried out, Mungo, Muneo,
why don't yon kin me let me live and
happy will be thy days" The amaze
ment of all around and most Of all the
atTrighted Cook, cannot be described, b,,,
such was the effect that the knife was IN.
consciously drop'd, and Mungo ran of
crying. it was 6 The Devil and not a
Turtle" The scene was ludicrous 10 the
extreme, aud required all the persuasion
to convince the affrigh,ed Cook, it was
only. a humorous trick of Mr.. Charles. the
Veniriloquist, who stood by and occasion
ed all this sport.

Dreadful Fire Yesterday morning,
about A o'clock, fire broke out in Mr..
Jacob Grams distiilery, in the rear Of
387 Broadway, between White and Wal
ker streets, which, 10 about two hours
destroyed and injured between 80 and 40
buildings.
Fortunately the wind was very light
from the w. s. w. or much larger
amount Of property would probably have
been destroyed, as great proportion Of
the buildings 10 that neighborhood were
shingle rooted, aud as there was difficult
ty in procuring water in the immediate
vicinity. The members Of the different
companies, particularly signalized them
selves on this melancholy occasion.
We are happy 10 stating, that the
amount of furniture destroyed was very
trifling, considering the extent of the con.
Aagration.
Messrs. Colin Read and John F. Della
PLANE, who owned number of the houses
that have been destroyed, are, we under
stand, fully Insured.
Mr.. Grams loss is stated to be about
$4,000. Mrs. Lawrence's property was
all insured.
We are sorry to state. that Mr. William
M'Intosh, attached to Hose and Ladder
Company No. g. had one Of his legs very
much fractured, and both knees dislocated.
A lad named John Nayler, aged about 2
or IA years, had his sculi fractured by
the falling of weight Of window sash:
he was taken to the Hospital, where he
soon expired. No other accidents occur
red, as far as we have been able to ascer-
tain.
We have taken considerable pains TO
learn the names of the owners and occu-
pants of the different houses, and now
give detail.

NewBURYPoRT, June ZV' !,
A gooa haui.-A lad by the name O
Brookiugs, hunting one day last week 'ol
am eel.pot, sunk at the upper siae u
Greenleai's wharf, fished up small eau
vass bag containing five bars oil pure
GOLD, weighing eighteen ounces, ne
value Of which is said to De somc'h'Ds
more than 800 dollars.
Gentlemen who we're OIL the stage " az
ton during the American reyolnlionaf,
war, account for its being lost 10 the 'o'-
lowing manner. A privateer scno'oe'
called the Hawk, commanded by tue in-
trepid Jack Lee captured and sent Ill., a.
mong many other prizes, an EngIish o1's
bound from Oporlo TO England, ioadeo
with wine she also had Oh board 'afss
| amount Of dollars, as well as gold IN ouii-
| ion. dust and coin. it,was not known Dy
the captors at the time she was taken, tna'
these precious metals we're on board-the
mate of the brig (who remained 10 me
prize) kept ii from the knowledge o. Tue
prize.master, hoping they might be lalien
| 10 with aud recaptured. She however
arrived safely, aud came TO the wharf,
now Greenleaf's, whore this gold was
found. II is conjectured that in attempt
ling TO smuggle some oil it ashore, 1t was
either accidentally dropped, OF desiguedly
thrown overheard TO prevent detection
ii is recolected that several seamen we're
imprisoned for embeZzling it.
There are various Evolutionary stories
that large sums were secretly conveyed
from the vessel and buried in pine swamp |;
that portions of it were entrusted TO one
Foss, an Englishn.an, for safe keeping !;
that much of it found its way to Marble
head, where it has since been found, &c.
There are those who recollect, that at
that lime, aud for years after, much time
and Iabour we're spent 10 digging Tor the
= prize gold" But We presume this is
the first that has ever actually been found.
When taken from the water the bag ap-
,peared perfectly sound, but on exposure
SO the air, it soon came TO pieces, IT hav-
ing lain under water AZ years. The lad,
we understand, has prudently determined
10 convert his booty into cash, aud deposit
il in the Savings Bank.

The following is an extract from the eloquent SEN
tence pronounced by Judge Story upon William
Holmes Edward Rosewain, and Thomas War
rington, for piracy. These unhappy men were
executed at Boston on Thursday the 18th inst.
g There is then nothing an point of tam
10 your case, which entities you to the
favourable consideration of the court, and
there is nothing, absolutely nothing, in
point Of fact, SO far as is known to us, to
call forth the public mercy for your par
don. You had no excuse for your iIihu-
man butcheries. There was not even the
pretence of irritated passions to soften the
deep maIignity Of the scene. 1t was a
mild summer evening, the close Of day
of pleasure and Gestivity, consecrated to
liberty and independence. Your officers
were already retired to repose. One
sleeping on deck, the other in his cabin.
The time was fast approaching to mid
night. One would have thought that the
GOODNESS and tranquility of the scene,
might have awakened other thoughts than
deeds Of darkness. Yet you chose this as
the time Of your detestable plot You
seized one Of your officers by surprize,
ia sleep, and thrs him into the sea. His
cries called up the captain, and he too,
was instantly pushed overheard He
caught hold Of the main boom guy, and

smith, whose deposition is given above,
is the only American OF the party--tne
rest are all Englishmen-It is also stated
that the crew of the brig was composed
chiefly Of English and Spaniards, or ma
lives of S. America.
We have neither time nor room at pres
ent Tor any remarks on this atrocious trans
action we shall therefore dismiss the
subject by briefly informing our readers
that Robinson aud bis companions, who
left the priva.eer off Wllmington bar have
been apprehended at Smithyille, N. c.
and that 4of the IS or l6who bad prev

! The priDateer General Rondeau.-By
the ship Cleaner, capt. Zuili, from St.
Thomas, We have received the following
account Of that brig from capt. Miles
himself. We arc glad to And that he is
safe as, Notwithstanding the declarations
of the crew VINO have arrived III The u
States, that the officers were sent ashore
in the boat, it was feared they were all
murdered.
.Nutiny.-The Buenos Ayres' private armed
| brig General Rondeau, while lying off Grenada,
sent the boat ashore for some necessaries, on the
cath of May the boat having returned, the COM
mander ordered the vessel to be steered for Mar
| garitta-When the crew who had before shewn
symptoms of mutiny, now broke out in open re-
beion, and M'Saving, the Cd lieut. in attempting
to aue the mutineers, was killed by some of the
crew, who also wounded capt. Miles, They then
put all the other officers below, and took possession
of the vessel, and then put the commanders to-
gether with the surviving officers and three mari
ners in an open boat, giving them little bread
and water. After being at sea three nights and
two DAYS, the boat reached Margaretta. The

Irshman, and seaman, William Robinson gunner,
Michael Summon, sailmaker, of Baltimore, Sam

Nicholas Welcome, seamen, and John Thomas,

an old offender, and has before been engaged in
mutny on board the Buenos Ayres' ship Vigilenca.
There is no doubt but they will capture and rob
Unfortunately every vessel she may fall in with
1t is therefore hoped this notice may be made as
public as possible, to the end that the villains may
be brought to justice, and that the armed vessels
of all nations may be on the alert to capture them.
There was ten thousand dollars on board, be-
sides several bales of cochineal and indigo, dry
goods, cocoa and sugar, in all worth about twenty
five thousand dollars,
