MUTINY AND MURDER.  (From the Cork Southern Reporter of Thursday.)  . At an advanced hour to-day we were put in pos, session of the foll Owing particulars of a case o mutiny at sea, attended with murder and the 1014 of the -vessel :  The Thetis, a fine brig of 2.50 tons, Captain .John Bailie, left the- harbour of Bristol for Sierra Leone, on the 7th of February last, and arrived there on the Bth of April. In consequence of sickness, eight of the crew (which consisted of twelve hands) were left in Africa, and four Portuguese taken on board. On the 2d of June the Thetis sailed thence for Cork, for orders for BriStol, and all wits well, the crew keeping themselves in good order, until the night of the 31st of July, when being then in 34. 20. north lat., 40. 11. west long., the Captain retired to bed P.t ten o'clock, which was his usual custom. At half-past ten he was awoke by three loud knocks on the deck, and having jumped out of bed,- was proceeding to go above, when, at the- cabin door, he found one of the Portuguese, named Francis Domingo, with an axe and a knife in his hands. On Captain Bailie approaching hiM, he made a.blOw of the former instrument at his head, which the Captain avoided by his activity, whereupon the fellow plunged the knife into Captain Bailie's arm. The Captain then rushed at the assassin, and wrested the axe from him, but he retreated quickly. At this moment one of the English part of the crew, named Fiancis Smith, came running down, with his throat frightfully lacerated, and his right shoulder cut dreadfully by a knife. At this'tirite three of the English portion of the crew were below, the fourth, named Matthews, not having come to the cabin. The mutineers in a moment fastened the companion down, and thereby prevented those in the cabin from getting on deck, and they were kept in this state until day-break. In the mean time Captain Bailie wrote a letter, which he. sealed up in a -bottle, and Threw it overboard, through the cabin-window. At three in the morning a light • was struck on deck by the mutineers, the 'rats lowered from the vessel, and every portable article which she contained placed in them. They then set fire to the vessel, and continued by her until three o'clock in the afternoon, when Captain Bailie obserVed them to go astern; he and his two comrades succeeded in releasing themselves from their perilous state, and having got on deck, they found the ship in flames from the forepart to the mainmast, and saw a large _quantity of blood, which they concluded was that of Matthews. They made a fruitless effort to extinguish the fire, and having constructed a small raft, lowered upon it, and committed themselves to Providence. In -the mean time the ship, which was laden with timber, exhibited an awful appearance. The sea was almost unruffled by a breeze, and the fire having extended to the entire of the vessel, she soon went down. Capt. Bailie then contrived to steer hislittle craft northwards i hopes.of meeting with for three days and nights, in some vessel, and on the fourth day, he and his companions having subsisted upon .51b. of. bread,—they the brig he was picked up by the no fresh water,— Cognac, of and for Liverpool, from the Brazils, Capt. William Winby, in lat. 35. 35. N., long. 41. w. They were landed on Tuesday last at Baltimore, near Skibbereen, and arrived in this city to-day by the coach. The names of the two men saved, besides the Captain, are John Brown and Francis Smith. The names of the four mutineers are Francisco Domingo, Francis Mores, Emanuel -Antonia, and Joseph Solino. The above narrative we have from Capt. Baillie, who, his friends will be glad to hear, is in perfect health, and will proceed to England ON Saturday, by the Superb.
