A YANKEE ADMIRAL.-lt is stated in
New Hampshire paper, that former cit-
zen of that State, Thomas +. Williams,
has become an Admiral, Count Zinze-
choff, in the Russian Navy. 1t seems
that he was in early youth ERIK in
store at Meredith Bridge. Being natur.
ally Of generous, bold, and ardent TEN.
permanent, no sooner had he served out his
time than he went to visit relative in
Portland for tie purpose of seeing ship,
and, if possible, of obtaining employment
in one. He at length succeeded. After
one or two voyages he was taken dam
gerously i'll at St. Petersburg, and upon
his recovery, through the aid Of the Amer
lean Consul, obtained berth on board Of
Russian merchant vessel as privileged
seaman. After prosperous voyage, on
their return home the vessel was attack
ed by piratical corsar, but owing to tt
bravery and skill Of Williams, the Pirates
were beaten off, and the vessel arrived at
her destined port in safety. The Emper-
or Alexander. hearing of this brilliant eX-
plot, was so much pleased with the brave
ny and good conduct Of Williams as to
send for him TO visit his palace the re.
suit of the interview was his appointment
as senior Midshipman in the Russian Ma
Wy. From this he has risen to his present
rank. He has been married for some
years to a beautiful and accomplished
Russian lady.

INTERESTING RELIC.

A Relic Of great interest was exhibited
before the Seamen's Friend Society at its
late anniversary, by Rev. MIR. Rogers, in
referring TO the case OF the Bounty, Capt.
Bllgh, the crew OF which vessel mutinicd
many years ago in the Pacific, and some
of whom Afterwards established them
selves with their Otaheitan wives on Pit
cairns Island. After a few years every
male who landed on the Island was swept
away by massacre, casualty or disease,
with the exception of one man, Alexander
Smith, or John Adams, as he is sometimes
called. Mr.. Rogers described the course
which this man adopted in regard to the
education Of The children and The women
then committed to his care. The only
books which be had to aid him, we're
Bible and a prayer book, which were
taken from tn Bounty. This Bible was
his guide, and he deeply incuIcated its
principles on the hearts Of those who look
cd TO him for instruction and under his
tnition they learned to read, and became
correct in their morals and pious in their
feelings. Mr.. Rogers said that to behold
Inc Hylng FEATURES OF Washington he
would be willing TO sacrifice much and
he would travel far to see Oberln, as he
appeared in life, and to render him tri-
butte Of respect and veneraton but to be-
hold that sacred instrumen; Of so much
coed, that Bible of ptcarn's Island, would
well repay one for traversing oceans-and
here, said Mr.. Rogers, holding up an old
and homely looking book, hold IN my
hand that rery Bible, now more than sew
enty years old, which has been present
amid such a variety OF violent and event.
(ul scenes, and which has been the instru-
ment of so much good.
The Bible was given by deceased
aunt Of the owner to a sailor, who present.
cd it to the Rev. Mr.. Lord, Pastor of the
Mariners Church, in Boston. Charleston

A HORRIBLE MYSTERY
Nlm nn.r.As l,lne q Iqi

INV phIEANs, June ., 1871.
A dreadful act Of either mutiny or pi.
racy has been committed off the Balize,
which ought TO be known forthwith to
The Department, and therefore hasten 10
address you the present, though have
bu, few minutes for the mail.
The ship Charles cleared few days
since for Hayre. and on Friday, the i,h
instant, was fallen in by one OF our tow
boats, about forty miles from the Balize,
without any body on board, and fresh
traces OF blood On her deck and cabin.
She had twenty three cabin passengers,
(somc of them ladies) principally our
French shopkecpcrs, going 10 make their
annual purchases in France, and oil Of
them, as usual, no doubt, with considera.
BILE sums of specie, and presume not less,
together, than $4,000 probably much
more. The long-boat was missing, but
the iplly-boat was alongside with dog in
it, and box Of sardlnes. These circum.
stances, and the fact that all the sailors
clothes were missing, lead some to think
ii was mutiny and piracy by the erem.
There is, rs you may suppose, great ex.
ciement in the city. Tho ship has just
come to the leyee, and have not time to
ascertain further particulars. She is not
injured, and was left even with her sails
set. The revenue cutter at the Balize
presume has started in pursuit. Ard il is
suggested hese to arm two or three steam.
boats and obtain volunteers to proceed

borhood.
