APPALLING BURNING OF A SHIP.-Thef follow
ing details of a horrible case of piracy and
burning of a ship at Macao have heen re-
ceived at Lloyd's .. The Dutch ship BdncG,
Capt. Hpvmans, 700 tons burthen, with be-
tween 300 and 400 emigrants (~coolies) for
Havana. put back to Macao, about a month
since the despatch is dated Hong Kong.

and cargo shifted, having encountered hoist
erous weather. and on reaching the outer
roads brought up to an anchor. There she
remained repairing, her officers exercising
strict vigilance in preventing the coolies
going ashore, for fear they should make their
escape. For the three weeks, whatever dis
content may have prevailed, no fears of an
outbreak would seem to have been entertain
ed. until n Chinese doctor warned the captain
that mischief was brewing. In preparing for
such a contingency as a rising of the coolies,
the small arms were placed on the poop, and
two guns were loaded with grape and pointed
forward. About nine O'Clock of the night of
the Sth, the disturbance commenced. and the
crew took refuge on the poop. The cap
tain first fired a shot or two overhead, but
as that had no effect, and the coolies advance
ing towards them. yelling frightfully, armed
with Delaying pins, bricks torn from the
cooking places, DC, the captain gave orders

was poured into the Infatuated mass from the
two guns. and also from the small arms. This
hadthe effect of checking and putting down the
riot, and the coolies were driven below, but
they sought revenge by setting fire to the
ship. and in a few minutes the CT captain was
appalled, by seeing flames issuing up from the
fore hatch. A frightful scene OIL carnage follow
ed the coolies rushed IN on deck, and no
doubt:murdered all the officers of the ship.
The ship was soon in a blaze, fore and aft. In
about an hour the mainmast fell with a crash,
then the fore and mizzen. and about midnight
the magazine blew up with a tremendous e1.
plosion. The ship was instantly hurled to
Fragments and a vast number of poor creatures
who, ~clinging on the chains. persisted with her.
OF the number who were on board including
crew and passengers, about five hundred, on
" $50 escaped with their lives; the remainder
were either burnt IN the ship or drowned.
The affair has produced a great sensation in
Hong Kong.

a conversation he had on the 18th Of March
with Mr., Marcy, there being no disguise
with the Government of the United States
as TO what the British government were

approved and regretted the existing state Of

dangerous and calculated to cast u shade on
the reputation OF the United States that
they were as anxious as the British Govern

OF the United States.

political gathering than was assembled at the

were duil-the resolutions stale-and there
was a total absence of anything like enthu-

declared that Mr.. Buchanan was not his first,
second, third or even sixth choice for the

OF his grief at the defeat Of Pierce, seemed
not to have inquired who was the candidate
fer the Vice-Presidency, but declared. at a
