The crew had command of the vessel. VIII
helm having the chief command. The
crew said it was very well known wboh
they had done with the CAPTAIN. and ,bov
should consider II their duty to put us out
OF the way in like manner, for their own
protection and safety. The course of the
vessel was changed in about six hours after
the murder OF the oaptian; the whole of the
crew spoke TO me and asked for various
things out of the cabin which VIC rNased
to give them, until they would tell what
they meant to do with us. At the time of
the murder the vessel was off the Western
Islands, III right direction for the Strait of
Gibraltar, bound TO Genoa. asked them
why they changed the course of the vessel:
they said we should find out soon enough
they said afterwards, they were bound TO
the British Channel. After this, Adams
said that he would take the brig to within
lew feet al his fathers door, or to Hamburg.
We requested them to permit us to come
on deck, they said they would think of it.
The first three days we were in the cabin
they treated us very badly, the next three
not so bad. They required us to give ND
the arms we at first refused, but fnallv
as we had no ammunition, we agreed to
throw them overheard. They demanded
also the chronometer, and the jewelry, spe-
Gle, and other valuables in the cabin. On
our refusing TO give them up they prepared
10 darken the cabin windows, and shut out
all light. We gave them up ; they then
attempted to sutlocate us by smoking US,

were smoked l5 minutes. | went and beg
ged them to remove the smoke. They
came and asked what I wanted | told
tEem and promised to look for some more
money if they would remove the smoke
they did so and the smoke ceased. The
hrst persons they allowed to come on deck
were Mr.. Dlehl and his wife. He would
not go without his wife. They proposed
TO give US the jolly boat, said there was
sail In sight, if we wished to save ourselves
now was the time. Some time after this
we came on deck; Joe was at the wheel,
and the the others standing round near him.
they were all armed, except the boy, with
knives or hatchets. Wilhelm called him
self captain and Adams was lst mate. We
made proposition TO them to let US have
the long boat they at first refused but fl.
nally consented, and suffered Mr.. and Mrs.
Dlehl, Mrs. Turey, myself and the cook to
go into the boat, at 2 o'clock in the after
noon. When we left the vessel, Mr.. Van
derslice was alone, lying on the cabin floor
languishing under his wounds. We were
taken up the next day by the brig Edwin,

spectator, ,and left upon all but one, deep
impression, that he was much injured and
abused man. Wishing 10 have every 6usi-
ness transaction Of his life inves igated,
and to give his enemies no grounds of com
plant, he went much further in detail than
was even necessary for triumphant vindi-
cation of his character. And after his tes-
timony was closed, every shade of suspi-
con that malice and calumny had brought
upon him, was removed, and he stood forth
with an integrity as pure and unsullied, as
the new fallen snow. Such has been the
glorious termination of a trial, which not
only involved the character of the first Off
Ger Of the commonwealth, but the liberty
and lcenciousness of the press. His hon
or Judge Banks in very clear and lucid
charge to the jury, drew line of distinc-
ton between them, and plainly defined the
rights of the press. They may canvass
the political measures, or creed of a man,
but cannot villfy and abuse. His charge
was able eloquent and conclusive. So clear
ly did the evidence enable HIM to sweep a.
way every matter, that may once have been
doubtful, there was nothing left for the jury
to do, not a solitary fact remained unex-
planned or required their deliberaton. The
cloud ofsuspicion which the lying afidavits
of the Stonebrakers had lowering around
the character of Gov. Porter, was swept a.
way, and 1t shone forth clear as the sun in
his meredian glory. Under such circum-
stances the jury could not but return ver-
dict of guilty against the defendant, which
was done. Thereby declaring that the char
acter Of Gov. Porter is free from the foul
charges made against him by his political
enemies.

IN great danger, to which he replied as
soon as we passed Scilly; "you are as safe

MR.. STEVENS.

1t will be seen by the proceedings Of the
House Of Representatives that Mr.. Stevens
presented himself to that body on Thurs
day, and claimed admission as a member,
and that resolution was offered to appoint
committee to enquired into the right upon
which that claim was founded. Some of
the opposition affect to be furious at this
course, and are endeavoring to twist it into
an outrage upon the people of Adams.
The right OF the House however to appoint
committee for the purpose indicated in
the resolution is undeniable, being one of
its inherent as well as constitutional powers.
That the case of Mr.. Stevens is one in
which that power may be properly exercised
is equally undeniable, and we shall be much
mistaken If the result of the investigation,
which he and his friends so much dread, if
gone into, will not prove that he has for
ielted his right to seat. Engaged in
black conspiracy against the rights of the
people, setting himself up above the laws
and the Constitution, and defeated in his
unholy object, he has for five months re-
fused to discharge his duty as representa-
tive denied the validity and the constitution
ality OF the House to which he now seeks
to gain admission and heaped upon its
members and the people who they repre-
sent the grossest indignties. Nay, even
up to the very hour of presenting himself
before the house, he declared it to be an H.
legal body, and that consequently he would
not be bound to observe either the oath inn
posed upon him, if admitted, or the rules
and regulations which govern the body.
With these facts staring them in the face,
the members of the House of representa-
tlves would have been false to their duty if
they had not paused before admitting a
man who IN acting upon the great interests
oil people, would not, by his own decara-
tons, be governed by the usual oaths to dis
charge his duties as member of the house
with idelity.-Reporter.
