stated recently that, several seamen, coming from
no one knew where, and having q large quantity
OF gold, landed at New London, Ct, where one o.
their number died, and over whose grave slat
was placed ith the inscription, "dead men tell nc
tales" The New York papers of Tuesday contain
an explanation of the mystery, as follows:
| About three weeks ago, U. 8. Marshal Ry sders
| received information, that vessel had been sunk
| on Montank Point, under suspicious circumsfan q.
| ces. The Marshal forthwith sent Deputy Marshal
De Augelh to see into the matter De Angels soon
returned and brought Information that the vessel
bad been scutted, that the crew had gone to dffs-
| rent places, and that oEe OF them had died of At
rican fever, and had been buried at New London,
Ct. Upon this information the Marshal sent Depu-
ties keefe aud T. Rynders IN search OF the crew.
The deputies soon found out that three of the men
were Ia this city, and arrested them some days
ago. The fact that three men we're imprisoned was
kept secret 30 that those who we're still at large
would not be put on their guard and abscond
| from justice. The names of those who were
| engaged in the expedition were gained, and
| upon further Information, and after consult
| ing with the United States District Attorney,
| Marshal Rynders concluded to send the depu-
Ties TO Boston In search of the remainder of the
| crew. On arriving at Boston, the deputies found
| tWo or more Of the crew who were placed in
temporary charge ofthe proper authorities. The
onicers then went to New Bedford, near which
place they arrested the chief mate, who had been

The deputies then returned TO Boston, and fell

too sharp for the Boston gentry. hack was ob-
tanned, the prisoners pushed in the driver crack

trouble.
They arrived here on Sunday morning at an ear
ly hour, and at oIce went to the residence of the
Marshal, woke him up from a sound sleep, and
greeted his opening eyea with the sight of their
prisoners. The Marshal Immediately sent them
to Eldredge street Jail, where the prisoners were
locked up to await further examination.
At the present stage of affairs the full particu-
lars OF the matter cannot be obtained, as the pri
soners preserve q total silence on the subject -

Coast of Africa. The Captain left the vessel at
Cardenas when the first mate, who has been arrest

crew had some bad feelings towards the mate and
he was afraid that they meditated doing him some
injury. The mate is an American, and the crew
was mostly composed of Portuguese.
