CHARGE OF RAPE

Capt. John Y. Nicholson; of the ship Harka-
way, was arrested by officer Quay, on Tuesday
last, upon the charge Of having committed d rape
upon the person of Miss M. A. Potts., a cabin pas
senger on board his ship on her last voyage from
Liverpool to James river in June last, and the
next day brought before the Mayor, who upon
a hearing of the testimony, decided to commit
him to answer the charge before the proper tribu-
nal OF the United States The examination, with
the pleading of the prisoners counsel, occupied
nearly the whole day, and the court room was
thronged with spectators. In so delicate case,
we deem it proper to forbear any allusion to the
testimony, until the case comes to be finally ad.
Indicated. Capt. Nicholson has for several
years commanded ship out of James River, in
the European trade, and maintained high char
acter as skiful and gentIemanly ship MASTER
The Prosecutrix Is young English woman, "a
years OF age, from Manchester, coming ont to her
relations in this place. The court was addressed
at great length by Iazewell Taylor and Lloyd W.
Williams, Esqs., two of The prisoners counsel.

and is TO receive his trial before the Circuit Court
Of the United States at Richmond on the fourth
