ALBERT GRAN? and PRESS CORRUPTION
LONDON. May q, 1870.
Mutiny on the open seas furnishes the present
great sensation TO the English people. The Lennie
mutineers, who were hanged last Tuesday, recalled
were hanged some dozen years ago on one gallows
In front OF the Old Bailey. Eleven In all had been
condemned to die. but the authorities first com.
nuted the sentence on four TO penal servitude for
NE, and on the night before the execution two
others were reprieved in the same manner
CREEK nurnEER PANIC.
1t was recalled that in that the murderers Of
he captain, first mate, passenger ana cook Of the
'Flowery Land were foreign seamen, Portuguese, l
believe. The fact that the murderers on the Lennie
and Caswen were Greek sesmens has created
prejudice, almost amounting to panic, among ship
masters. At Newcasue-uponTy the shipmasters
absolutely refuse to engage Greek or Levantine
sailors, determination which Is causing great
suffering among the destitute seamen Of these
nationanties,
SHOWS FOR THE MORBID.
The tendency OF the average English mind to
dweI upon the morbid, which in literature and
shows takes the form Of the '.penny Dreadful" and
which wen instanced in the exhibition OF the
blackburn bloodhound, finds another illustration In
connection with the Caswen mutny.
THE CAswELL ON EXHIBITION.
The bark Caswell, which was the mute witness OF
the terrible scenes Of mutiny, murder and robbery
ind equally terrible retaliation, having arrived at
The port Of Bristol from Queenstown, was turned
into an exhibition for the morbidly curious at an
admission charge Of sixpence head. The proceeds
were announced as for the benefit OF the widows
and orphans Of the murdered men,. 4as -

thousands Of the citizens OF Bristol and people
nom the surrounding country visited "the perfdi-
Ous bark, " and hunted all over it for signs Of the
successive tragedies that had taken place on board
or course there little satisfy curiosity as the
decks had been repeatedly scrubDed and all possible
means taken by the mutineers themselves to remove
al visible traces OF their crimes and So ALSO with
the retributive Staying OF the Greeks. The show,
however, was stopped because the visitors whitfield
away the ships woodwork for mementoes OF the
crime and the visit.
The example set by the boys on board the training
ships warspite and Goliath, which it VIII be remcm-
Dered were burned, it is supposed at least in the
case OF the second connagration, by the incendary
act OF some OF the boys, has now been followed by
the naval apprentices on the tron-clad Caledonia,
who tried to scuttle the ship.
THE GAINsBoRoUGH PICTURE ROBBERY
While on the subject Of crimes may refer to
the robbery In Bond street on Thursday or
aainsborough's portrait OF the Duchess OF Devon
shire, which had recently been purchased for
Aurilo's picture OF St. Anthony from the Seville
Cathedral. II also was cut out from the frame in
the night time, and some think It may have gone

New York, but the probability is that the thief is
lurking somewhere In London. and that the picture
