Unprecedented PuniShmeRt.-.The N. York Sun
of Tuesday states that Capt. Samuel r. T, Adams,
of the ship Austerlitz was Saturday brought be-
fore Judge Belts, charge of most inhuman treat
ment of man named Collins, who acted as steward
or cook on board his ship. 1t appeared during the
cursory examination which took place, thatwhile tho
Austeritz was lying at Key West by Capt. Adams
order, an iron gag was putt Collins mouth, and he
was hauled up to the rigging and tloo hundred and
reason or excuse given by Captain Adams for this
extraordinary and cruel degree of punishment, was
that his coffee had not been sufficiently clear!
Judge Belts held him to bail in $1,000, for his APP
pearance to answer the charge the next session Of
the court.

He sits, or sat at the corner of Eldridge and
Stanton, turning away without noticing the

him with all sorts of wit and attempts at

another is seated with rod, line, hook, bait
and sinker, angling in pail of water fora

but to make upa purse, and pay each his
