have SO often complained, seemed only to have
abated for season On Thursday night, about 8

boarding house, went down the river, and boarded
the British ship Perthshire, lying at Four Mile
Point during the abse nee OF the captain IN town.
Captain Moran ofthe British ship Albion, was going
down the river about this time, and while passing
the Perthshire, saw boat under her bows, and
thinking that all was not right, went alongside, and
hailed the ship three times without getting any re-
play. Captain Moran, after few minutes, hail
ed he. the fourth time, and was answered by the
mate of the Perthshlre, who begged for Gods sake
TO come on board and rescue them, as the carpen-
and feet, to ring-bolts on deck, and that the p-
rates had possession OF the ship, and were taking
The sailors out. Captain Moran came close
along side, and attempted to board, but was pre-
the same time ordering him of, and using the most
offensive language towards him. He told the men
conhned to keepup their courage, and ne would re.
turn directly with assistance. He proceeded at

ship Ellen, lying near by, and procured men and
fire arms, and Immediately went back to the
Ferthshire. When the pirates saw the boats ap-

vessel with the sailors and their baggage, but in
their hurry, they upset their boat, and were all
thrown into the river the sailors belonging 10

Captain Moran, with the assistance which he got
from his vessel and the Ellen, remained on board
About ii o'clock three boats were seen cautious

and came along side, and was told that the officers
were all asleep. The pers ons in the piratcal boat
told the men on board to get ready with their bag
gage. One more daring than the others came on
board, when he was immediately secured. Those
remaining in the boat were armed, and their guns
they said were loaded with buck shot, and would
shoot the first persons that intertered with them
Three four muskets were discharged, and stone
let fall into the boat with what consequence we do
not know. On Thursday, Capt. Bannerman. OF the
Br brig New Zealand, shipped four seamen through
a sailor boarding house keeper, by the name of Mo
