PIRACY AND MURDER.

The New Orleans papers Of the 28lh May
have advces from Havana TO tho 22d of that
month. The only article of interest is the
following narrative Of successful Piratcal
attempt which we copy from the Bulletin:
On the 22d ultimo, the English brig Yer.
non, John Cunningham. master, sailed from
Falmouth, Jamaica, for Halifax N. s. and on
the eighth day out, being a little north Of
Cape Antonio, she was chased by an open
boat containing seven men, who fired at the
brig. Having hove TO, the boat came along
side the brig. and the crew thereof pretend
ing to belong to n icvonue cutter at anchor
lnst round the point, requested tho captain
Of the Vernon to 60 on board of her in his
own boat, with his papers which he did
Capt. &. with three men started for the cut
ter, in company with the seven strangers in
their boat and when they had got short
distance from the brig, the rascas ordered
him to stop and undrsss-this done, the pi.
ratios for such they proved to be) began to
murder the three Engllshmcn. stabbng and
cutting throats. The captain and two men
were killed, and the other man jumped over
board, and swan to tho shore. He wandered
OH the shore five days, when be was discover
ed by the captain Off cape Antonio coaster,
by whom he was furnished with nccessaries
uc Cdp'liu HdNluS ltutHSu iToui tiic ucoti-
tute wandcrer the outline Of the outrage,
gathered force and went in search Of the
pirates and their prize which he succeeded
in finding. The surviving English sailors
were employed in the forced labor Of unload
ing their vcsscl-and it was learned that
after finishing their job they were to have
their throats cut. The captain Of the coast
ing craft resorted to stratagem 10 circumvent
the outlaws. He took with him three old
nuskets, saluted them most cordially, and
told them that he had brought the guns to be
put in order, and that his vessel was near by
md calculated for the business, and that he
had come out on the same business. They
readily accepted an invitation to breakfast
with him, and on their arrival he made use
of the force he had prepared for the occasion,
and the whole seven were secured. NJ.
Philpot who was the bearer of the nforma-
ton ts tho captain general, and who was
present al the examination Of the culprits,
says the cold blO0Jed recitas of these demons
made mis- heart shrink within him. These
pirates reside at Regla, and are well know n
in Havana. The sailor who escaped said that
while he was in the woods he saw several
parcels of sails, blocks, compasses and pcr.
chand2c, which were probably the effects OF
other vessels that had been taken and de.
s,royed. The surviving Englshmen were
provided for by NJ. Philpot ,iIl the British
consul should send for them.

On the subject of the resolution maxi
ing change Of the rules Of the House,

marks
The close attention Of every reader
is invited to the report Of proceedings
in the House of Representativ on
Monday evening last. In all the mad
ness and fury of party, during fifty years
we doubt whether any such violations Of
the most sacred Of the usages Of Con

the positive injunctions of the Constitu-

recorded.

TO the CiteSscs and Citizens
Of Newport.
On The rule for raiking the Street.

On the rule for ,raking the Sirest
Every one must have experienced
the difficulty of walking the streets of
Newport, at all times, but particularly
OH Sundays, at the time most OF the
Churches arc out, and on all public
days, when the streets are thronged
not only by our own population but by
visitors from the neighboring towns and
strangers. The difficulty arises from
the narrowness of our streets and side
walks, and the design Of 4 rule which
is almost universally adhered to in eve
ny well regulated community-that is,
for every one to take The right, without
regard to ago, sex, or color. If the
polite citesses and citizens of the town
generally, will adopt this rule-and
also, when not inconvenient, take that
side of the street which brings the
right hand to the wall, they will soon
experience the convenience Of the rule
and would never disregard it.
While we continue to walk the street
without regard to system, or the COM
mon rules of politeness, we shall be
subject to the arrogance we at present
experience, of lodging and jostling
each other at almost every step. 10
remedy the evil Immediately and efiec-
tually, it is respectfully recommended
as rule for walking the street, by all
who have Il due regard to their own
convenience and that Of others, for the
polite to take the right.

An important decision, affecting the value
Of Capt. Ellio's opuIa Scrip, had been dev-
cred by the Supreme Court at Calcutta. A
native merchant consigned opium to his a.
gent in Canton, who contracted 10 guarantee
the safe return Of the proceeds in Sycee sill
yer; instead whereof he forwarded Capt.
Elliot's certificate that the opium had been
delivered to him for the service Of her Majcs.
ty's Government.
The Court decided, that as Capt. Eio, was
acting under the constraint of a foreign pow
er; as appeared fror the proclamation he
had issued, he could not be considered as ex.
ercising the authority vested in him by the
British Government, and therefore his acts
were invalid, and the production of his GER
titicate was no defence to the action.
