TRIAL FOR MUrlNY.-We learn from the New
York Courier, that Fleming Livingston, the
mutineer, was brought up for trial on Monday,
before Court Martial in that city, composed OF
Capt. M. O. Perry, President, jointly with
Capts. f. II. Gregory, Benz. Cooper, w. ID.
Salter, and Commanders S. Fl. Stringham,
Paulding, Graham, Nc Intosh, and Nc Chung.
Judge Advocate, John Mexican
Prisoners Advocate, William Shaler.
Mr.. Shaler presented to his honor, Judge
Belts, the U. S. District Court, petition for a
writ of habeus corpus to bring up the prisoner
with the of his detention, for the purpose of
having him discharged, on the ground of his
term of service having expired since his arrest,
the Court Martial had jurisdiction in his case.
On investigation it was found that the SUI
prene Court of the State of New York, in cases
which originated during the last war, and which
were tried subsequent to the peace, had decided
in favor of the positions assumed by the petition
ers counsel, but that their decisions Of the Ella
borate argument had been overruled by the Su-
preme Court Of the United States. In conse-
quence, Judge Belts denied the petition.
The prisoner was then arraigned and pleaded
not guilty.
SHIpwREck.-We learn from the Exchange
books, that the schr. Victoria, Capt. Hudson, ar
rived at Nassau, N. p, 2lst May, from New
Orleans. On the morning of the 18th May, off
Orange GAYS, she fell in with the wreck Of the
American ship Elijah N. Train, of and from Bos-
ton, Captain Neat, bound to Mobile, with an as
sorted cargo. The Victoria being at the time
partly laden, was unable to take in but small
proportion Of the cargo, with which she immed-
ately proceeded to this port, accompanied by the
mate and part Of the crew.
On her way hither, she fell in with the schr.
Nancy, Capt. Duncome, and directed her to pro-
coed immediately to the wreck. The schr. Fa-
vorite, also left this port the evening of Thurs
day, to render assistance, SO that there is every
prospect Of the greater part Of the property being
yet saved, though no doubt some of it will be
found in damaged condition.
The Elijah N. Train, we are informed, was a
new ship, and not more than month off the
stocks, and whose sails had not been bent beyond
l6 days, when, unfortunately, she became a to-
tai wreck. Penn Laq.
