of James Smith, the second mate Of the above
vessel The Cincinnati arrived here on Mon
day night, and after night the above party in
a most cowardly manner, laid in wait on the
Point for the second mate, whom they had
grudge against, and catching him, commenced
assaulting him most violently. By some good
fortune, Capt. Costgan and Waterman Hague,
with number Of citizens, arrived in time to
rescue Smith, and arrest all five of the parties.
They were held to bail by Justice McAllister
to appear at Court on Saturday and answer
the charge.

king the threats are sea-faring men, and have
boen absent from Baltimore between ten and
