The sToRn powy EASY,


NUTISY on THF SHIP DAVID RRowS
The ship David Brown, Capt B.hm sailed vss.ar
DAY for Singapore. Before reaching Sandy Hook a
row occurred board IN consequence Of the violent
conduct Of the second mate. That officer il seems
went on board in state of inoxication and in abort
time began TO abuse the men, striking them with a
shovel, ard otherwise maltreatrg them. OF course
the crew rebelled. Capt. Benin arrested the second
mate and locked him up; but he broke out again more
violent than ever. The captain then concluded that il
was best to dispense with the services of the ruiar
and coming to an anchor on the outer bar he sent him up
by the steamtug Webb. The tug, later in the day
took down more peaceabe substitute, and the David
Brown put out TO sea. The second mate las been
locked up on charge Of melting to mutiny.
PRICE OF PASSAGE TO cALIFoR~A.
The steamships Moses Taylor snd St. Louis, which
sailed on Saturday for California Lad full load of
passengers, in consequence of the low fares. S,nce
their departure the rates by the Northern Light oppo
stion lire, have been considerably increased. The
tickets for steersge, which sold for $40 and
$50 are placed 90 for second cabin from go TO
sloj: and for first cabin, from 900 to Sis.

Tie Harder Comm issioners are empowered by the
act Of the Legislature, passed April 1884, in case the
owners of wharves and piers fail to keep them III

essay repairs made charging the cost upon the
en- Tie Commissioners, in September last, Noticed
the city authorities of the dilspidated and dangerous
condition Of many of the wharves and piers belonging
to the city, They were told in reply, tina! the neces
sary repairs would be made Immediately; but from
that time to this nothing has been done. The Commits
IL l,t, n.l,ror E4ro md ,ax nd
proposals for the work al rates far below the amount
usually paid for such work by the city. These facts
have been communicated by them to the Mayor, but
no action has as yet been taken upon their commun-
cation. In the last tax levy $1,000 were appropr
ated for the repairs of wharves, piers and slips. O
this sum $50 900 have been expended, but We are in
formed that no trace can be found of where it has
been spent VIII the Committee on Wharves, Piers
