ARRAY on a Steamer.

A serious disturbance was created on the
steamer Gen. Bartlett during her afternoon
trip from Great Chebeague Island yesterday.
Capt. Chase gives the following version of the
affaif:
The helmsman of the boat Is named Shea
He came from Newburyport with the steamer,
employed by the owners as protector of their
interests. Several weeks ago he had some
trouble with Mr.. Ponce, who charters the boat,
and at that time would have been arrested but
for Capt. Chase. The Captain says Shea is
bright, quick fellow, and all right when not in
liquor. Yesterday Shea had chum visiting
him, and Capt Chase noticed that the friend
had evidently been drinking. When the
steamer left Great Chebeague Capt. Chase
saw that Shea was heading out OF the course
he had given the helmsman, and was in dan
ger of running on the sand-spit, a short dis
lance from the wharf. He spoke to Shea, who
he then suspected had also been drinking, and
gave him his course again. Shea did not fol-
low it. Capt. Chase then put his hand ON the
wheel, and raised it so that the steamers head
should fall off from the shore. Shea tried to
push the wheel back, and Chase put his knee
oSaiuet 10 W pfoFcht biius 1ucn Ouea suuch
the starbosrd bell in the engine room Capt.
Chase ordered him out of the wheel-house,
and Shea replied by striking Chase heavy
blow under the left eye.
By this time the vessel had passed the sand
spit, and the passengers had become quite dis
turbed Mr.. Ponce and several gentlemen
went into the pilot-house and took Shea out
and carried him below. He kept returning
and insulting Capt. Chase, and several gentle
men, as well as Capt Chase, (who had taken
the helm and was steering the craft up to the
city)s told him IL he entered the piot-house
they would make il hot for him. He declared
that he would thrash Capt. Chase when the
vessel reached the wharf, but he didn't;
neither did Capt. Chase take steps to have
him arrested.

The Macksral Elect.

The fleet landed 9,435 barrels during the
past week.. against 10,725 barrels for the CORE
spending week last year, and 5,S72 barrels the
week previous. This is fair comparison, but
In order to make up for the decrease early In
the season, the receipts of last week should be
much larger. The catch is still very far be-
hind last year, and the prospect is not very
bright for an increase. Adyices from the fish
ing grounds on Thursday and Friday were a
little more encouraging. Several vessels had
made good hauls, but the feet generally had
small fares at last accounts
