muIlny ON the ship aIaoun.


New YORK, September ~. y
Thirty three of the crew of the ship
Calhoun were SrrsigDed to-day, charged
by the csptain with mutiny. It appeared
from the complaint that on the 2lst of
September there was quarrel between
the cook and some of the crew. The boat
swain interfered to protect the cook, and
joint assault was made on them. Seeing
the excited state of affairs the bosts vain
retreated aft, where he was joined by the
I'd mate. The two officers armed them
selves and came back, and after warning
the crew, fred two or three shots, which
took fatal effect. The captain came out st
this time and the crew demanded of him
that the officers should be put in irons or
they would hang them. The Captain
complied with their wishes and ironed the
twsin. On nearing this port the crew
took out the cficers and placed them in
the wheel house, keeping guard ever them
till they arrived at this port The crew,
on the other hand, say that they were most
foully used and kept short Of ratio1s, and
what they did have was badly cooked. On
the day in question the food was unfit to
eat and they went to the cook for better.
he replied that it was good enough for
them and assaulted one of them with q
large fork. The bostswsin here intelfered
and was driven out of the galley. The
crew say that the difficulty was now ended,
but the mate and boatswsin armed them
selves and fired among the crew and
passengers without an instsnfs warning.
Exsspersted at this and fearing more vio-
lence st their hands, they did insist on the
Captain locking them up till they arrived
here.
The case WAS set down for examination
on Friday next. ---577 49,
