the ship John Wade, of Boston, was arrested by the
Marshal on a charge of attempting TO murder James
H. Little, the captain Of that vessel on the 10th of
February, while on her last voyage from Canton to
this port. IL appears that the captain called the
steward and ordered him to arrange one of the state
rooms he refused to do it. The captain took hold OF
him. to compel him, upon which the steward drew
pistol, with dirk attached to it, and endeavored to
stab the captain. The mate hearing the noise walk.
ed TO the cabin door, upon which the steward made
plunge at his (the mates) breast the mate in en-.
dcavoring to guard himself, received a stab in the
second finger of the left hand The steward then
ran forward to the forecastle below deck. The mate
took cutlass and followed him, and the prisoner
pointed the pistol al him and threatened to shoot him

castle until the captain went and armed himself with
his pistols and came and ordered the steward TO 90
on deck. AT first he refused but afterwards said IL
the captain would go on deck first he would
follow him. The captain went on deck; the
steward sprang over the jolly boat then into his
own room, which is forward the main hatch the cap
tain and mate followed him, and the carpenter came
with lantern; the captain then caught the steward
, who endeavored TO stab him; he then dropped the
pistol, which picked up; they then put irons
the steward, and kept him confined until they
rived in New York, which was for period of five
months The pistol, which was loaded to the mouth
has spring dirk five inches long, attached to it,
t also appears that the 3lst of January previous
the steward refused to work and on that occasion
drew knife on the captaie, and attempted to stab
him. Gibbs has been committed for examination
