MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS. THAMES POLICE COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mry Blewitt was next called, and said—l reside at No. 23, Albany-street. I was a passenger on board the ship Tory. I remember three of the men being in irons in some part of the rigging. I was in the cabin as a cabin passenger for the fast fornight. I was afterwards in the half-deck, a little more forward, but not left of the poop. On the 26th of September, I believe, about three or four o'clock, I heard Captain Johnstone demand that the mate be found and brought, wherever he was, to him. Barry Yelverton was the one who found him, And brought him to the captain. I was then looking on, of which Captain Johnstone was not aware. He had a pistol in his left hand, and a cutlass in the other. I believe the pistol was loaded, for Captain Johnstone always ordered them to bring his pistol 10e.f...d. The captain struck Rambert right and left, on the ',owl first, and afterwards on the body. Rambert had '.lO arms, but his hands were free. During the time C-..,in .Thhwston,e was " 011, yo overgrown monster— youstriking him he begged for mercy r...ad to,"'"` him. , she Captain Jolmcsotwonaerdrleypblireudterelßlied and with that he cut him with his cutlass. Ramberl, said " Ask the sailors, Captain Johnstone, if I ever said, a void against you," on which the captain seemed t.c., get more enraged, and struck at him more violently than he tlid the time before. "Go on your Mies,'" he said, which Rambert did, and then, after calling hint nn " overgrown monster," he struck him seVerely With the cutlass. Rambert exclaimed "0, my God ! ~', m, God ! I am killed." With that he droe.nd on one side, and said "Oh !" when Capt:i Jetnstone bent frJr the irons. After that the car;:oiter came *n4 put the lirons on the monkey-hatch on the hi,dr_ita. Lambert was bleeding so at the • ~.. boy: fine that I taittld not see the fgades. Rambert asked tbSlack to bring ton*,hitg to tie his head up. ihe boy !CO. he had nOthiAg. Dbring that time I bel'.eve the Captain retired inte !tl cabin for refreshments. Captain Johnstone, MR riot made many minutes delay when he came asp yin, and went up into the mizen mast-bop, where the flan, Stephen Cone, was in irons. He \ struck at Corte In the most violent manner, so violent that I beard the blows from where I had been looking on. I could not see what the captain struck with, only that he went up with a cutlass in his hand. With that I cried out, "My God, my God ! if that is Stephen Cone, he will kill him." I said this to Mrs. Thompson. That was the first time I spoke while the captain had been striking Rambert. With that Rambert heard my voice, "Mrs. Blewitt, I am dying, give me a handkerchief head up, lam bleeding to death." I replied, " I to ond do said,my am in that state I am not fit to move • I am so exhausted and faint." With this Rambert said, "'He is coming down again,he will kill this O my Goa Ico my God r, I, that I made na reply. As Capt. Johnstonewas coming towardsßambert, he said, " Where is the overgrown monster," or " where is the overgrown brute," bail cannot say which. With that he said to the carpenter, " Where is he," and then ordered Rambert to be taken away to the main hatch. I remarked to Mrs. Thompson, " What is to be done, there will be an end to us all this night." After this, :I believe the captain was forward with some of the men, and I heard as far as I can recollect that -Ilambert was; ,o, be taken out of irons. Directly after that I heard a rush on the poop. There was a beat 911 tb.e Poop. I gaUf Rambert, tiYin to milko lili OIC4Pe  REGENT'S CANAL COMPANY (THIS DAY).  CLARKE r.
