arrival, and confined in separate apartments, circumstances connected with the vessel being sufficient to cause suspicmn, and to warrant their detention.

HAfiii-‘Ax, JUNE ll.—Fu HER particulars connected with this vessel have transpire since our hist,’wlllcli, we; are sorry to say, negative all idea ofthe innocence ofthe men in custody, and impress upon the transactiourin which they have been engaged, a truly awful character.

On Saturday morning, two ofthe men, one named Gallo- way, the other Carr, who were confinedin one cell, sent for the Sheriff, expressed a desire to develop all the Circum- stances which had occurred on board ofthe Salndin, of which they had any knowledge, and commenced the relation of a tale of horror which it wotild be difficult to parallel among the most dreadful records ofpiracy and murder com- mittted upon the high seas. The Slierifl'iminedintely com- municated with the Attorney General, and, accompanied by him, ,d other oflicials, whose duty required them to be pre- sexinfiroceeded to the gnol, where the men underwent a close examination, which elicited particulars, all of which bear intrinsic evidence of truth, and leave no room to doubt the extent ofcrime of which these unhappy wretches have been guilty.

The substance of these revelations, so far as we can gather, is as follows :—

The Sulndin sailed from Valparaiso about the 8th Febru- ary, with a complement of twelve persons, including officers. Some of these wire new men, four ofthe crew who had gone out to Valparaiso having left her there. A Captain Fielding, whose vessel had been seized for smuggling a car- go~ofguano, and his son, a lad about fifteen years of age, were taken on board as passengers. This man, it appears, instigated all the mischief His plan, suggested by avarice, for he must have been awafl'of‘the valuable fi'eight on board, was to kill the captain and officers, seize the ship, and pro- ceed with her to the St. Lawrence, on the, shores of which they were to land, divide the plunder, and then separate, to enjoy as they best niigbt their unhallowed gains. Unhappily he too well prevailed—the plausibility of the scheme se- cured the acquiescence ofthese reckless characters, and without a reflection upon the improbability of being able to carry it out, and escape a just retribution, they took the first favourable opportunity to put it in execution. .

The bloody drama opened on Sunday night the 14th April. The first mate, whose watch it was, had been unwell, and had luiii down to sleep on the lien coop or companion. Up to this time it would appear as ifthe men who have confes- sed, bad no knowledge of the conspiracy—at least we have been given to understand that such is their assertion—v Hearing :1 noise on deck they left their hammooks, went up, and there beheld the demon Fielding, assisted by two others, in the act ofthrotving the mate overboard, and this they soon succeeded in doing. Having fully committed them‘ selves to the worst atrocity by this treacherous act, some of the villains went below for the purpose of despatcliing the Captain, whom they found asleep, but his dog, (so trifling was the incident that averted their purpose,) being at: his side, probably with an instinctive consciousness of their in- tention, which they perceived, they retired without effecting their purpose. The second mate then came on deck, was seized upon and thrown overboard. \Vliil'e in the water he called out “ Murder l” and Fielding, fearful perhaps that such an alarm might put the Capt. upon his guard, raised the cry, “a man overboard.” 'l'liis awoke Capt. M‘Kenzic, who rushed on deck, when the Swede (Anderson), one ofthe prisoners, struck at him with a liliidg‘eon as he was emerg- ing from the cou'ipanion, and stunned him. Immediately recovering, the untbrtuiiate man rushed upon the assassin, calling to, Fielding for assistance. He was seized upon, his skull clove with a hatchet, and the SWedc terminated lilS‘ existence by repeated strokes of the same weapon. Afterl the captain was desputclicd, the murderers proceeded to make sure work of the rest ofthe crew who were not impli- cated in the conspiracy, who unconscious of'cvil were (leg- patched in cold blood, without being able to make any rc- sistniico, as each made his appearance on the deck, and their bodies thrown overboard. Fielding then tiSsnined the corn- inantl, called the men aft, horaugued them in a speech in which he assured them of being under a commander who could appreciate their services, and who would not bully them as “Sandy” had done ; and explained his designs with regard to their future destination, as we have before stated.

It pleased the Almighty to crush this during villain, ere the exultation attendant upon his success bnd subsided, by the very instruments through whom his un'nullowed designs had been executed. The second tragedy was as horrible in its incidents as the first, though in it may be perceptiny traced the avonging dispensation ofthat being who neither slumbcrs nor sleeps, by whom even the very hairs of our heads are numbered, and who will in nowise spare the guilty. The very circumstances which in his fiendish cunning he had calculated upon to ensure his safety, led to his destruc- tion. D.i-k hints oftliere being yet too many ou_.bonrd, led each consider his own safety involved, and to suspect the designs ot’tlicir tyrant. To prevent, it is suppOSed, any fatal results which miglit'ensue from the quarrelsome dis- positions of such agang of desperadoes, and of which a spe- cimen was afforded at n cnrouse after the occurrences we have detniled, till the fire arms, and all weapons whatever, at his suggestion, were thrown overboard, with the exception of the Captain’s gun. Fielding, li0wever, had concealed weapons for his own defence in case of need. These had been discovered in a berth—it is said a pairofloaded pistols and a. knife were still in his possessiOn. The men questioned his intentions, and not being satisfied with his replies, they seized upon and bound him, and a part ofthem kept watch over him one whole night in the cabin. After a Serious con- sultntion, the next morning, (the Tuesday succeeding the mtirder of the Captain,) they determined to throw him‘over- board, which was soon efiected, and thus theivillain perished by a similar death to that by which he had sent his innocent and unsuspecting victims to their last account.

The destruction ofthe fntbér involved that of the son. From all that we can learn, the poor lad had taken no part: in the horrible scones, though a witness ofthem, and per- haps consenting, so far as he might be allowed. He entreat- ed them piteously to spare his life, and the man to whom it was given in charge to throw them overboard, appeared in- clined to relent, but was compelled by the threats ofthe others, and by a regard for his own safety, to unclnsp him frm his desperate embrace, and the shrieking wretch met the shine Womble fate as his parent. i

,Nofl‘mg exu‘um‘dipary appearsto have occurred between r tliis,,§ime and the wreck of the vessel on the coast of Nova Scotia, save the scenes of riot and dissipation that might have been expected.

April, 1844, and On going ssh'oro was niuowrprised'lo find the streets thronged with armed negroes, ostly With wooden pikcs about tcn feet long, and' sharp pointed. On going totlie Store of Messrs. licllnf'd & Co., was formed that thé’fown was iti possession of the negrbes " rom’tbe mountains, by whom it had been taken three days preVious. The inhabitants were- not expecting them, and of course were unprepared. However, there was a battle fought, and so far as I could learn about 250 killed. and wounded. Nearly the inhabitants of the town got on board the sliippin in the harbour, which got under weigh and moved about three miles outside,,,and there lay three days as full of people as they could hold. Several boots were fired into whilst taking them off, at" , number of lives lost. About eight or nine hundred left r Jamaica. This so exasperated the General then in command ofthe town, that he gave or- ders to his troops (as he called them), to shoot any one soon going on board the shipping, or leaving the town in any way ; and when one ofthe Schooners returned from Jamaica, HS had the Captain taken and shot in the presence of his wife and children. Itappea‘rs that the negroes expected when they took the town, that they were to pillage and burn it. This the General put a stop to, saying, if any one was found to plunder the least thing from the inhabitants, that he would be shot; and he was as good as his word, for there were ten shot about two hours after I lauded for stealing.

I left the next morning .for Aquin, (a distance of about thirty miles from Aux Cayes,) wherel was to receive my cargo. I arrived there the same day, and on going on shore found the inhabitants of the town all under arms, expecting the negreos upon them every minute. They were about 3000 strong here and well armed. As all com- munication was cut off between this place and Aux Cayes, the General sent for me; he wanted to know if the (insur- g‘ent) army had left Aux Cayes before I left. I told him 1 did not know. He‘treated-me very politely, and said as I was an Englishman, he would do all in his power to aSSist me, for he considered the English were his friends. I got my ship’s ballast out, and went on with my loading as fast as 1 could, in hopes of getting away before any engagement sliotild take place. Four or five days after this, there came in five of what they culled their ineu-otlwar, and landed about two thousand troops from a place called Jaquemel.
