UNITED STATES CiRcUrr CoURr.-
Capt. William j. Rogers, master of the
whale ship Beaver, recently arrived
was yesterday arrested on charge tf
having in September 1887, while cruis-
ing off Savage Island, in the South Pa

hind one othis crew named John Brown.
Capt. Rogers was required to find bail
in 5000 for his appearance this day for
examination, on procuring which he
was liberated. We understand that
th. defence Of Capt. Rogers is, that the
seaman himsefpreicrrcd going on shore
to remaining in the ship, and that in
proof Of which he will produce a certil-
lcate TO that effect signed by Brown.
The above is the case Of the captain

STEAM ExPLOsIoN on CONNECTICUT
RIvER.-The new tow boat Greenfield, ply
ing between Hartford, Connecticut, aud
Greenfield, Massachusetts, blew up on Mon
day last, about six miles below Northamp-
ton, and noarly opposite South fladlcy. The
bout was constructed 10 pass through the
locks aud canals on the river, drawing but
little water, and quite narrow. At tho time
of the expulsion she had four freight boats
in tow, and had stopped TO attach iiith.
Doth boilers burst at the same time, aud the
boat was SO much rent that she sank lnmc-
datcly, carrying down one Of the freight
boats, IN SIX feet Of water. The Captain
(Crawford) was thrown high in the air,
and fell upon his head in one Of the freight
boats and survived but few hours
The engineer (Mr, WOODY was killed out
right IN the engine room, and one OF the
tiremen was thrown some distance, but fell
IN the water and was not materially hurt.

the boilders was on board for the purpose Of
observing their operation, and was 50 severe
Iy wounded that there was little reason to
hope for his recovery. Two or thrco of the

TnE CONDITIoN OF AFFAIRS At WASH
INGToN seems to be critical for those now
entrusted with the Administration. llowev
cr bravely they may talk, and by swelling
port endoayor to keep up their own courage

II is to be anticipated, that, in such a state
of things, chickering's and recrlminatlons will
occur, and tia, the Unit will, by degrees, be
broken into fragments.
Our apprehension is, that Us the hour ap
proaChes which, as we verify believe, vii
unfold scenes of very gross corruption and
inalversation-some accident may occur t.
the public papers, or the public buildings, al
Washington, that will obliteratc, not all the
traces perhaps, but most Of the proofs Of such
corruption. Then, again, we distrust such
retiring from office. just at this juncture, ne
iha, of Mr.. Kendall, and would think it high
Iy cxpedient that the House of Representa-
,Ives should Immediately institute close in
qulry aud examination into the condition, pc
cuninry aud otherwise, Of the Post Office
Department. This could do no wrong to any
one aud, it all IL right, would be of more
real advantage 10 the late Postmaster than
any one else.
1t may be, that the rumors from Washing
ton Of dissatisfaction and dInicnl,cs in the
Cabinet, and encouragement IN the broken
phalanx OF the Administration troops, are ex-
aggcrated-yet we suspect there Is truth at
the bottom. and that before the close OF Con-
sress, the !Sdurc qui pcut pane will manifest

AN OUTRAGEOUS ACT or INHU.
MANITY.
| We have been favored with tho following
painful account, eorroborated by three of the
crew belonging on board tho vessel herein
named: Tho Whale Ship Beaver, OF Had.
son, Captain w. Rogers. arrived in New
YORK hnrbor, on the lst Of My last, after
long and tcdions voyage Of three years and
nall. Mr.. Murray stated, that their first
cruise was sixteen months, during which
time number Of the crew got the scurvy,
so as to endanser their lives. A man by the
name OF Gorden, boat steerer, (undor the
assumed name Of Jack Brownjnade the fol-
lowing remark -" II ] was in your places
forward, If the Capt, when we arrived in
port should refuse 10 give Us liberty ashore,
would point knife OF his heart" This
remark soon reached the Captain, for which
he resolved to give him to tie Cannibnls.-
lie accordingly, when leaving port, stcersd
TO an Island IN the Pacific OGsal, by the
lame of Savage Island. inhabited by Can
nibals.) When they came in sight OF the
Island, the Capt. thon ordered one half of
the crew 10 go down below, and tho remain
dor, with the exception of Mr.. Gorden. To
go aloit, which wns obcyod, not knowing his
design. In few moments the mon aloft
espIed at a short distance from the vessel
quite number OF canoes with natives in
them; they, however, soon cumc alongside.
the Capt. then called Gorden to him. aud
asked tho lst Mate LANSING, Of Albany
what he should do with him? The Mates
reply was, " damn him, heaps him oper board"
The Capt. accordingly seized Gorden aud
put INN over board. After the Capt lot 90
OF him, he struck on the side of one of the
canoes the natives pushed him off, aud
would not have any thing TO do with him.
he Captain on seeing that the natives would
not take hun, fastened below, brought up.
and gave TO them quantity Of old rusty
knives, to take that man and do with HIM ac-
cordins TO their custom, g. H. tirst 10 tuka his
life, then roast HIM, and then eat hln-(thal

Il. was but short distance from the ship,
the men alott that behcld this heart re- ndlng
scene, could not help shedding tears of PITY
TO hear him lnplore for mercy! mercy |! IN
I'll ut length they reached some distance from
the vessel, but, that did not prevent them
from hearing his pitful exclamation, :" for
Gods sake spare me -
Mr.. G. said that he belonged in the city

leaving q wife and two children to mourn

more poignant.
