SHOCKING STORY FROM THE SEA. On Friday, sn official inquiry; instituted by the 80-ant of Trade, wan opened at the Greenwich Felice Court, before Mr ratteson, magistrate, Und Admiral Powell and Captain Steele, nautical assessors, into the circumstances attending the loss, by explosion at sea, on the ,16th October last, of the barque River Eden. Mr Hamel attended to prosecute, and in opening the case said the inquiry would be of an extmorilinary and painful character, the ship having exploded after being set on fire by its captain, who afterwards committed suicide. The River Eden was lux iron barque, built at Govan, county of Lanark, in 1865, was of 507 tons burden, and was owned by Messrs J. Haycove and others. She was commanded by Mr Thomas Bowden, and carried a crew of sixteen, including two certificated mates. She left Landon on the 15th September on a voyage to Val. paraiso, staying at Gravesend until the 21st September, when she started to the Downs, her cargo then consisting of 35 tons of gunpowder, two cases of cartridges, 124 cases of matches, 20 tons of Swedish tar, 12 tons of pitch, and 15 packets of chemical products. Immediately after the vessel's leaving for the Dowr.s, the master's health appeared to have failed, and his mind became so grcatly affected that it was determined by the chief mate, Mr Wm. Clarkson, and the crew to secure him. At this time, however, the barque Elizabeth Graham hove in sight, and before carrying this resolution into effect the chief mate sent la boat to bring the captain of this barque on board,. who had an interview and conversation with Capt. Bowden, and as the latter then appeared quiet and harmless the chid mate was recommended not to put him under restraint, but to make for a near port. At ten o'clock the same night, the captain called the chief mate into his cabin, and, presenting a musket ",at, him, demanded the arms and ammunition that he said had been taken from him. When that officer rushed on deck for assistance, and while the crew were deliberating how to secure him, he set fire to the cabin of the ship, having fired at the second officer, and stabbed two ethers of the crew. The fire increased, and the port lifeboat was lowered, the crew fearing that the ship would momentarily blow up, leaving the captain there; but he was afterwards saved and taken on board the Juanita of Shields, on board which the crew were also taken and conveyed to Bahia, but Captain bov(len, on the fourth day after being oontined on deck., contrived to get overhe ird, while manacled, and was drowned. The inqniry was adjourned.  J  1  el
