THE GREAT BARRATEY CAsE-The San
Francisco papers contain some news of the
runaway bark Messenger Bird, obtained from
the mate and steward Of the vessel, who left
it at Tahiti and went TO San Francisco 1t
appears that the vessel shipped 1000 barrels of
-four at City Point, Va, and sailed for Rio.
shipping her mate at Norfolk. She arrived at
Rio about last Christmas, and after discharg-
ing her cargo, took in cargo of coffee and a
quantity of money for the United States
The captain, Jno. III. Delee, then sailed for
Valparaiso, instead of coming to this country,
and sold 600 bags Of the coffee, for which he
got the money. He then shipped 200 bags to
San Francisco, by the ship William, and sailed
himself for some port unknown. The San
Francisco Bulletin adds
Captain Delee is said to be q Virginian, an
ed ucated, good business man, and was once a
lientenant in the United States navy. He was
accompanied by his wife and two daughters
one about fourteen and the other about ten
years OF age. He is said to have relatives in
this city, and it is supposed that the package
above referred to was intended for them. The
exact nature and extent of his offences are rs
yet unknown; but that much is wrong. is
plain. At Tahiti, it is reported, he rubbed on
the word Bird, and his bark sailed under the
name OF Messenger but this may have been
due TO some repairs, involving the des truction
of that portion OF the vessel bearing the word
Bird
1t is estima ted that he left Tahiti with nearly
2, 500 bags of coffee, and in the neighborhood Of
1000 in money. How he is to make the ad-
ditional "pile" which the note speaks OF, re.
mains to be seen. 1t is stated, however, that
his crew is all Dutch, and say "yaw" to ev-
erything he orders, so that, whatever may be
