New Haven, Nov. 29, 1842.,
Mutiny !—A most horrible p'ot to murder
the offit-ers and seize the U. S. Brig Somets oti
her way from tlte Coast of‘Africa, lia.-‘just come
to light. and created a tiiost thrilling excitement
in tire city of New York. The details of the
affair have not yet transpirt-d, but it is utiderstood
they “ill saou be given to the public in an
oliiciul form from \Vasltingtott. The Somers
lies at the Navy Yard. N. Y. “here she arrived
on Wednesday last. All communication with
the shore is strictly prohibited. The following
f‘acts—all that can be gathered—are from the
N. Y. American of Saturday last.
The Sotucrs sailed front this port abotit
three months ago forfihe coast of Africa, hav-
ing on board 80 apprentices and 8 seamen,
and no ma.rincs. Her commander, Slidell
Mackenzie, her only Lieutcuarit, Mr. Gun-
zcvoort, of Albany, and five or six tnidship-
men, of whom Philip Spencer, son of the
Secretary of \Va r, was the oldcst; two sons
of5Comiiiodore Perry are among the mid-
sbipmcn.
It is believed that a plan of mutiny was
arranged soon after leaving this port, but not
matured until, on her return from the coast
of Africa, the brig was about going into St.
Thomas for water and provisions. When
within 700 miles of the isl:in=l one of the
crew gave notice to COlX‘lll'ltln(l‘.‘l' M=tcKcnzie
that a mutiny was in progress, and soon after
a paper was discovered in which the whole
plan was dctailed. Midshipman Spencer
was found to be instigator of the mutiny,
aided by the Quarter Master and Boutswain,
one of whom, named Cromwell or Cl'0lf.-
rm-lin, had been a pirate. It scetncd, too,
that more than h:ill the crew were implica-
ted in the revolt; and the few officers, igno-
rant how far the contagion had extended, and
aware moreover, that by taking of} the lead-
ers, the revolt would most readily be quclled
determined upon their imtut-diate execution;
and they were seized and their guilt being
ascertained, they were forthwith hanged at
the yard-arins, tlieir associates in crime rut.-
ning them up", while the officers armed stood
by to witness the execution. A large num-
ber of the guilty were then put in irons.-
'l'he brig then touch-.-d at St. Thomas, vict-
L ualled, and made the rapid passage of 8 days
to dis poll.-—-Wllefl l4or J5 ofthe mutinecrs
in irons were transferred to the N. Carolina,
where they are strictly guarded and prevent:
ed frotn having L'0t1lt1'lutllCttll0nS with any
one. -
Midshipman Sp: l’l(‘t'l' was over twenty
years ol age, and had as we learn, been sent
home. from the Brazil squadron by Commo-
dnte Morris, with the express understanding
that he .-hoold resign his warrant on arrival
as the condition of his not being brought to
a court martial. Instead of resigning he
was, it seems, -ttached to the Somers. The
sch:~me‘of the uiutineers, as said tube de-
tailed in thu paper found, was to murder all
the oflicers but the surgeon, seize the vessel,
and cruise ofl Study Hook to intercept and
rob the packets, and other inward bound
ships. 'I‘he necessity ofthe immediate exc-
cution of the ring leaders. arose, we presume
lrorn the fact that without the aid of Mr.
Spencer, who was to navigate, and the boat-
stvairi aml qtiarter-master, who were to sail
the vessel, the conspiracy would be hope-
less. Ifconfined and put in irons, tvithotit
the sifeguard ofmarines, the temptation to
rescue would have been great; and in total
ignorance as the officcfs were of the extent
ofthé mutiny, this would have been a fearful
haz.irtl. ‘
\Ve tnust add that this statement. though
substantially correct as we believe. does not
probably present the mutiny in so aggrava-
ted a form as the facts, when made public
will warrant.
OUR LIGH'I'—I-IOUSE.
Ma. EDITOR.--I regret to say that the Light
House at the mouth of our harbor, has been a
subject of much and well grounded complaint.
Either from some fault in the lantern itself, the
location cfthe house, or the lack of proper at-
tention in trimming. cleaning. and ordering of
the lamps, the light-house almost entirely fails
to answer itsdesign. In approaching the harbor
the Island is usually seen for a considerable
length oftitne before the light, and a proximity
ofsorne six or seven miles, sometimes much
nearer, is necessary to catch a glimpse of the
latter. While at this distance you perhaps look
in vain for the light in question, that of Sand’s
Point is in full view, and sometimes while a
single lantern of a steauilzoat may be plainly
seen across the sound. 2" Is not such a light more
dangerous anddisadvantageoustlian none at all ‘I
It is not my intention to cast any censure upon
the worthy keeper of the light, for 1 know not
that any attaches to him, but while the public
purse is drawn on for the expense, it seems no
more than justice that we should have some
benefit from the outlay. NEPTUNE.
Brother Holly, we are grateful for the paternal
yearniugs, you seem to have for us, and shall
be glad to receive that boost you propose in the
way of subscriptions. We can, however, in no
wise, follow your suggestion and circumscribe
ourusual amount of foreign and general news.

A Lirt-za.-tar Cuatosrrir.-—About a month
since, fvhile on a visit at a friends, in that part
oftlie town of VVilton, called Bald Hill, I was
invited to attend a Lecture on English Grammar,
to be delivered at the District School house. lt
was stated to be the last of three lectures, which
were to be introductory to the foriitation of a
class. —I felt very l‘ttle inclination to go. but as
my friends wished to hear the lecture, 1 yielded
to their solicitation and accompanied them.
When the exercises. which consi.-ted of parsing
antl recitations had closed, liberty was given to
propose questions in rega'd to the subject. In
the course oftbe evening. Iliad noticed many
deviations from the cotninon system ofEuglish
Grammar, and, as I wished to know the reasons
for them, I inquired, in as respectful a manner
as I could. for the arguments by which these
deviations were supported. It may be well to
remark that the Lecturer claims to be the author
ofan inzprotted isysltm of English Grammar.
Ireceived no stint or measure of abuse, for call-
ing in question the utility of the system.-
Among other tliiugs he challenged me to dis-
cussthe subject with him on some subsequent
evening. This I took as mere bravado. Asl
saw that he was a rough, imprudent fellow,I
should not have taken farther notice of hint had
I not repeatedly heard insinuations, said to have
arisen from him, to the amount that I durst
not except his challenge. At length I sent a
note to him stating in it that I would meet
him, leaving it to him to select the time and
place. I received the following note in reply.
Comment on this unique production isunnecessa
ry. Still I will make one remark. It is this, the
writer must have known that his note would
receive as severe a criticism as I could give it.
The note itself shows signs of careful etiort in
