MUTrNV AND DEATH OF THE MUTIxEERs-By
private advices received in Boston, we learn that
a bloody scene occurred on board the bark VIM
II. Smaller, of that city, commanded by Capt
VIM. H. Gardner, jr, on the late passage of that
vessel from Manilea TO San Francisco
1t appears that the W. H. s. was short handed
in the port Of NJ, and could not proceed on her
voyage until at least two men were obtained
Through the mid of the consul an, Englishman
and Portuguese, two notorious bad characters,
were procured. When few days out, one Of
the pair refused to obey orders, and after few
words cIinched Capt. c., and the two fell upon
the deck. While down, the second new recruit
was observed approaching Captain Gardner with
drawn dagger. The latter instantly drew
revolver and shot the villain with whom he was
scuffling through the neck, and then sprang upon
his feet just in time to escape the uplifted dirk
of the second mutineer, by shooting him through
the heart. This bloody scene was made quick
work. All the officers and the rest ofthe crew
were below, and bad not time to render apv
assistance to Captain g. before the fate of one
Of them was sealed, and the other (the one shot
through The neck) was rendered helpless lie
fingered along and got nearly well, until the
vessel reached the lay Of San Francisco, when
he leaped overheard and was drowned. CAPTAIN
Gardner left his vessel in the last named port.
and returned to Boston by way of the Isthmus
and the last steamer to New York.

EAsL INDIA CorroN.-Iater accounts from
India, according to the Manchester Guardian
are quite encouraging in regard to the cuItisa-
ton of cotton. There is, it seems, an extern

pressing applications to the East India Company
for American seed in large quantities than ii has
been hitherto supplied. To show the extent OF
the favorable change in the cotton culture there
which has led to this sudden demand for ma
