PROBABLE MURDER OF SHIP CAPTAIS.-The
Charleston Courier publishes letter, of the Gath
ult., from Tampa, Florida, from which we extract
the following:
The French ship Circe, laden with spars, from
Mobile for Cberbourg, France, went ashore on the
Marqnesas, forty-fve miles west of Key West, on the
14th inst She will be total wreck, It is thought
Blood was observed about the cabin by the wreck
ers when they went board and as the captain was
missing, suspicious of his having been murdered
were excited, and when our brig, the Huntress was
leaving Key West, the U. S. Marshal was going down
to examine into the matter.
The crew say the captain was left at Mobile sick
with yellow fever but several Inconsistencies in their
statements, in connection with their conduct tend to
confirm the suspicious at first excited.
The case suggests question Of importance. Sup.
pose the crew did murder the captain on the high
seas, can any of courts entertain Jurisdiction to
commit them, de jure? think not. There is no
law of the United States, or of State, which can
reach them, and there is only our treaty with Eng
land and France in reference to extradition to meet
exigencies where criminals within our jurisdic-
tiou and they only be reached through the appli.
cation of diplomatic agent of the Government re-
quring the exiradition On his requiston our courts
are justified in arrestiug, examining and committing
parties charged with offences like this supposed one
The French Minister at Washington should be
promptly advised OF this case, that proper requiston
should be made, authorizing the U. s. Court at Key
West to commit any parties suspected Of crimina
acts in the ship Gree.

A SEA sERPENT.-The sea snake, caught by Capt
Taylor, master of the ship British Banner cooled up
on the surface of the sea, in latitude 9 80 South,
and $40 TO- East longitude, has been forwarded to
Professor MCoy for the Melbourne Museum, It is
an exceedingly fine specimen of Peiamio bieolor, a
yenomous and truly pelagc serpent, remarkably dis.
inguished from land snakes by the lateral compres.
sion of the posteror part of the body enabling it to
swim like an eel and as the broad ventral scales
used for creeping by terrestrial snakes would be use
less, they replaced by minute ones like those Of
the back or sides. The reason why they are caught
easily when on the surface of the sea- is that instead
of breathing by gils like shes they breathe like the
land snakes by large. very long lungs which hecom
ing dstended with air when the animal comes to the
surface to bask in the be quickly emptied
to enable it to sink escape when surprised. The
specimen has been placed n the devoted to rep.
tiles of /" Asia and the Archipelago"
Australian Mail.
