EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.-Some Of the good
citizens of Gloucester, perambulating the docks
on Good Friday morning, were alarmed by n
terrible noise on board a Greek ship lying in
the middle Of the basin The captain and others
appeared to have one of the crew amongst
them, around whose neck rope was attached.
and, before any interference could be offered,
the body was run up TO the yard-arm, and, after
few apparent struggles, so far as the victim
was concerned, all was still. The noise had
hardly subsidized when similar scene appeared
to be going forward on board another Greek
vessel, lying alongside the first mentioned; the
body, in this case, being lowered over the side
into the water, and then, as if the murderous
wretches had changed their intentions, it was
hauled on deck, severely belabored, amidst
shouts and excavations, and speedily hauled up
to the yard-arm.
The excitement on seeing two bodies dang
ling high in the air was most intense; some Of
the crowd assembled were calling out for the
police; and two or three, more courageous than
the rest, got on board one of the ships TO de-
mand an explanation and with the determine
ton to take the culprits into custody. The
explanation was duly given and hearty and
general laugh was the result The seamen were
only performing custom Of the Greek Church.

worthy in betraying our Saviour. The next
morning the efiges were hauled down and
treated with great indignity, amid renewed
shouts and the discharge of muskets
