CRUELTISS ON BOARD SHIP. --The following case, the incidents of which are of unparralleled atrocity, came before Mr. Raft,' (the Liverpool stipen. diary magiatrate) yesterday :—Mr. Davis, prosecuting solicitor, applied for a warrant for the apprehounion of Denis Forman Seobell, master of the ship Lydia, of 700 tons. At Black River, Jamaica, a number of coloured seamen were shiped on board the Lydia, for a voyage to Great Britain, and hence to any tin-al port of discharge. During the voyage to Liverpool the whole of the crew were treated by the captain end brat and second mates (Am,elin Larkin and Francis Carroll), with the utmost barbarity. One named Campbell Lad his nose broken by Carr,-.11 with a capstan her ; another named Martin bad both his bead and nose broken by Carroll and Larkin third (Fuller) was beaten about the head with belaying pins until he fell fainting to the deck from lots of blood ; and another (Williams), after being beaten about the head with a broomstick until be was covered with blood, wag tied up by the neck and heels and received three dozen lashes. A fifth sailor (McDonald), a white man, after being beaten with a belaying pin by the first mate until his ribs were 'molten, his chest unnaturally distended, and his bead and face scarcely recog. nimble, died and was thrown overboard. In addition to these atrocities, the captain and mates indulged their I taste for the horrible and grotesque, by tying a number of the unhappy coloured men by slips of yarn passed round , the neck and pnveto parts, and while in this constrained 1 position the poor wretches were made to execute dances by gnarling them from behind. When the ship arrived at I Liverpool and these facts became known, Larkin was arrested and charged with wilful murder. The warrant for the apprehension of the captain was granted, and the second mate (Carroll) was snorted about au bout afterwards. All the prisoners will be brought up to-day. The Lydia hails from Yarmouth. Nova Scotia.
