ET The accounts from the upper rivers
are unfavorable as regards permanency Of
navigation in our streams. The Ohio is ex-
tremely low and ere this probably frozen up.
The Mississippi is falling from Cairo down.
The Ouachita has fallen some five or seven
feet since last week aud is continuing rapidly
to recede. The last larger boats up failed to
reach Camden, and the bars between this
and Monroe will soon be impossible. Rains
have been abundant since Monday. but with
out aid from the Mississippi they cannot be
of much benefit.

he undertake the station, I have no doubt

Terrible Mutiny of Coolies at Sea.

A very serious case Of mutiny occurred
on board the ship Norway, Of New York,
Capt. Major, on her recent passage from
Macao to Havana, which came very near
proving disastrous 10 her officers, passen.
gers and crew. The Norway sailed from
Macao, Nov. &c, with about one thousand
coolies on board, and when Eve days out,
at about six O'Clock in the evening, the
captain being below at the time, a mutiny
broke out among the coolies. who set fire
to the slip in two places, and endeavered
to force the matches. Mr.. Simpson, Of
Boston, one of the mates, had charge Of
the deck, and the watch, with the excp.
ton Of the man at the wheel, was aloft
taking in sail.
Mr.. Simpson rushed to the hatch and
comm enced the struggle. The crew from
aloft, and those below, tried to seize the
boats and leave the ship. when the sur
geon, an English gentleman, drew his
pistol and threatened to shoot the FIRST man
who dared to make the attempt. The
crew then rallied and went 10 the assis-
tance Of the officers, and fight ensued,
which continued from six in the eve
ming until after daylight the next morning.
Thirty Of the coolies were killed, and
more than ninety wounded, before the
mu!iny was quelled. The captain then
gave the coolies one hour to deliver up
the arms in their possession; it they did
not, he threatened to cut away the masts,
set FIRE to the ship, take the boats and
provisions and leave them to their fate.-
The mutt ..eers soon came to terms.
Capt. Majors had his wife and two
daughters with him, and also lady pas
senger and child, but during the night
the lady passenger died Of fright, and in
the morning the child also died.
