that if .Wales' tl‘.lt‘l't‘(l a woiml of what. passed

Kt-izzic by Lt. Cxitist-.voort_ who i'e.illy bt:~
iicvrtl it, but 14'. i\'lt.'t{eii'/.ie tltoug-ht it so
monstrous and iiiiprobable that it could not
be trite. l"l-3 tlttiiigiit that Spencer hzid been
reading some novt,-l, but nevertheless
ihoiiglit it his duty to be on his gtiuid, and
directed the First Lieutt-itazit to ivatcli Sp» ii-
cci‘ nzirrnwlv, without seeming to do so.—
And in the course oftlie day he told him
that Spencer had been seen in the ward room
t-xaiiiiiiing a map oftlie West ludics, arid
had askt-tl the Surgeon about the Isle of
Pitic.-', who told him it was the haunt of pi-
rates, and asked hi .i _jol<iiigl_v, had be any
tlC(]tl=lllll‘:tl]Ct’S l.llL'l't‘. Spetict.-i‘ passed that
day sullenly, and was seer) i\'oi‘king with
his pa-ncil on the tail of it devil fish which
he made into 21 ring for his cravait. Lieut.
Grarisevoott aftt-i‘i\'iii'ds followed him to the
main top, and there found him mzirltirig l0\’t'
(lt.'\'lL'(’S on his arm. He had also made in-
qiiiries COIlCL‘l'l)lllg the rate of the chmtiottictcr
Spencer had also been seen -with Croni-
well and Small in nightly L'0llfL‘l'€llC9,8D(l he
gave money to Small the day before he left
New York. It also appearedtliat be was
in the habit ofgiviiig tobicco to the Lnidship-
inert and boys, and that he had c rrupted
the wardrooin ste'.vat'd and got branily from
him, and was in the habit of getting drunk
with it and giving it to the crew.
When on the coast of.-Xfrica, some brandy
was ordered on board for the prevention of
the nialarin, and the wardi‘ootit officer made
it iiiistalte aiid 0t'dt't‘c'tl it from the grocc-r’s,
thus getting a (louhlc quantity. 'l‘ht-re was
,howcvci', no malaria, and none of it. was
Lidrank by the mess, and all ofit is rt-itiairiing
tlexcept what was drunk by Spencer, or was
given by him to corrupt the men.
‘ Commander McKenzie thought itduc to
gthe officers on board to state that none of the
lbrandy was used by them. And at. his sug-
lgestion no brandy was brought on board
twhen the vessel was being eqttipt for her
voyage from New York.
Spencer was also in the habit of amusing
the crew by making music with his lower
jaw, which he could put out of its place, and
by that means cotitrive to play several tunes.
In his intercourse with Commander .l’lcKt'n
zie he was servile in the exireuie, but
amongst the ere-.v utterred inostblasphemous
threats against him, and that it would give

Those circumstances led Commander Mc-
Kenzie to consider the information he had
received from Lieut. Gansevoort in a riiorc
serious light than they at first appeared to
aim.
\Vheri Spencer first reportvd himself to
Coinniarider t\lcK«iizie for ditty, at New
York, the latter gave liitii his haiid and wel-
comed liitii on board the Soiners, hut Coin-

Spencer had been tlisi:liatget.l lot‘ drunl.'cn-

made him desirous for Speucer’s removal
from the vessel, p:irticularl_v for the sake of
the young men who \\'t3l't.’. on boartl. VVhen
on the eve of sailing front Neiv York, two
other Midshipmen came on board the Soni-
ers, which made the number seven, and as
COln’llIllitlt_'F b'lcKt-iizie heard that Spencer
wished to go on board the Gr:itiipus, Mc-
Ketizlc Said he woul-.l St Ccind his applica-
tion on the ground of its promoting the coin-
fort of the officers. but the couirriandarit de-
clined acceding to it.
\Vhcn the conspiraicy was discovered,
'Co;ntiiandc.-i‘ Mcl{t-izzie ordered Spencer on
the quartet‘ deck and addressitig liiiti said, ‘I
undcrstuiid you want the conitiiaud of the
S0ti'iei's.' To which Spencer replied with
a smile, ‘Oh! no sir.’ Lit-ut. McKenzie
then said ‘Did vou not tell Wales that you

this Spencer replied that he might have Said
so, but that it was only in joke.
Krnziethcn told him that it was a joke

nothing was found in it.
then risked hint wliere was the paper he

destroyed it. Cotiirti-iiidt-r l\'lacKenzie
satd it was a queer place for hitn to lter-p
it and told that he could not

Kenzie then ordered Llclll. Gniisevoort, to
put him in irons. and his sword was tzilcen
from him, and he was to watch over him,
and put him to instant death if he saw him
liave any intercourse with any of the crew.
But Coin. lVlcKt-nzie when giving the or-
der, said that the prisons r was tohave everv
comfort_, and Lt. GtlllS€\’00fl assured Coni.
McKenzie that his orders should be-it-ttended
to, which were done accordingly.
As soon as Spencer was conliiied, the off-
ccrs were ordciwd to qiiartt-rs, and tll'ttlt"(i
with ciiilasses and pistols, and ai‘ratigctiit.-nt.-
were made to pi'evetitaiiytl‘iiiig improper oc-

The Conirnaiider now ordci‘ed that Spcn
cci‘ should get no niore tobacco, as it was
only :1 stiniulutt which injured him but that
he was still to receive every no.-cvssat'_v coni-
fort. 'l'he day after Speiict-i"s tobacco was

and his fttcv was in tears, and he told Lieu-

The 29th of November had now arrived
and various acts of irisubordinzition were ex-
hibited by the crew, and Mt‘. \Vrtles detected
one of the men taking a handspike out of its
place, and \Vll(:'n he spoke to him about his
doing so, the man offered a very lame excuse
for doing it or being where the l1a1l(.iSpll(t.'
was. Several of the crew now nbscntcd
lll(itltSt‘lV('S from the muster, which only
could have been done lDlt‘nl.lOl’lttil_Y, as they
gave no reasonable excuse for doing so.
All those 0CCtll'l'L‘l'lC.t.‘S impressed Comman-
der l.‘\lJ1t‘I.{el'hZle with the llt‘Ct"SSlly of taking
further tl'It.‘ilS'.ll't‘S. Hitherto he had only
consulted his fir.-t Lieutenant, and was forti-
fied in every thing he did by finding his
opinions similar to his own. But it was so
grave rt case that he was desirous to have
the opinions of all his officers, that no shadow
of dniibt might remain of the prisoners’ guilt
ifllicil‘ execntioii should be necessary. He
there-fore SUl)lY‘illl('(l the case in tvritfng, to
all the officers but the Midshipinetnand ad-
dressed them a circul.ir, saying that the time
was come when he was desirous to avail
liitnselfof their counsel, as commtnder of
the-vessel. They were aware oftbet'ii'cnui-
stances wliicli tr-suited in the confinenieiit
of Spencer and others, and he had Cl9l.E'l’ttill'lt-‘Cl
to address himself to them and ask their
united counsi.-l as to the best course to be
pursued, and therefore asked them to consid-
er the present condition of the vessel and all
the circurnstnnt.-cs ofthe case, and enlighten
him as to what course should be pursued.
On the first of December he t'eccivt:(l an
‘answer to it from the officers, stating that the
evidence which had couie to their knowledge
was of such a nature thatafter a dispassionate
reflection they were unziriimotisly of opinion
that a inutinv existed of the most ferocious
nature, and -in the uncertainty of what one
night might bring forth, they thought it un-
safe to carry the prisoners to the U. Stales,and
thought that after giving them titiie to pre-
pare, they should be put to death. The
C.0l'{lmUnlCfll.l0n closed by saying that they
(the officers) gave this opinion, bearing in
mind tbeirduty to God, their country and
the. St.‘l‘V'lCL’.

Spencer asked Wales to forgive him for
taimpcring with him, and Vi.-’alcs did forgive

At the gangway Spencer met Small, and
in a calm manner presented his hand to hint
and siid "Small forgive me for bringing you

'lcan’t forgive you.” Com. MitcKenzie
then spake to Small, and he relented and put

Bones, iiorn s/zavings, and woolen mgs—-
animal origirz.—Bo.\'Es.—- Of all modern
iniprnvt-ni- ms the introduction of bones as I!
feiti.izer is second to none. It is principally
tlictll‘ age-ncy in producing the turnip crop
that the fertility of the soil has been increased
‘so as to enable us to produce food for our
numerous population. This will be evident
when we consider that it is by their adaptation
for the turnip crop that the fourconrse sys-
tcm has been so successful. By their
agency the farmer is able to cultivate three
lltt)t”S as itiariy acres of turnips as he‘ could
if he were obliged to depend upon his farm-
yard manure; these extra turnips feed an
extra: quzuiiity of stock, and consequently,
supply an extra. quantity of animal foo .--
The manure arising from their consumption
enriches the land; the farm yard manure
can be applied to other purposes; and conse-
tpieiitly, an extra quantity of grain can be
produced also.
_ That their excellence for turnips consists
in these phosphates. &c. is corroborated by
the fact that farmers generally prefer dry
bones to fresh ones. Now these dry bones
have lo.-t :3 greater proportion of their animal
_ri'iatter,_oil. &c.. & as by so doingthey shrink,
it is evident that we have a greater quantity
of phosphates in an equal measure of them
than of fresh bones. It is, therefore, evident
that the phosphates are the matters posessiug
the most powerful influence over the turnip.
l.'Vhence a ton of boiled bones (in which
there is little or no oily matter) is often pre-
ferred to 21 ton of fresh bones, containing
thirty three, or m-.‘.,','e per centofanimal sub-
stances. It has also been said that a ton of
bones. reduced to twelve or thirteen cwt. by
having the animal matter totally extracted,
is better than a ton of bones, in their ordina-
-ry Stair‘. This appeared a mysterious prob-
lem, since the tort of green bones gave to
the soil as great a weight of inorganic sub-
stances (l3 cwt) as the other, and also six
or seven cwt of animal matter. This animal
matter, we were aware, was strong tillage
(affording nitrogen) and it seemed strange
that 13 civt. of phosphates, &c, should act
better without it. than with it. In order to
solve the question. we burnt in a_ pit a quarter
of bones, and drilled them with turriips(both
Swedes and white ones) and on two other
patcheszvc applieda quarter of unburnt bones
from the same stock as the burnt ones were
taken. Tlieturnips are now growing, and
as farus can be determined, seem to thrive
with the burnt ones, as well, if not better,
than with the unburnt. That two-thirds of
:1 substance would be better than the whole
would lead us to infer that the portion de.
stroyed was not a tillage, but iiijurious.—-
Such, however, should be an erroneous con-
clitsion ; for we know that the animal matter
in bones and other tillages, is by itself ex-
tremely fertilizing in its operation, and that
without it no plant can perfect its seed. The
only conclusion we can draw then, is that
after burning, or being thoroughly dried,
soliiable and more readily taken up by this
plant. We know, also, that in this condi-
tion they absorb more moisture, and have a
greater attraction forthc nutritive gases which
decomposition in the soil may evolve. or
rain wash down. Thus, burnt bones absorb
7-5 volumes of ainnionical gas.
Of all methods ofapplying bones the drill
system, for the reasons we have given in the
rape dust, is to be preferred. The regulari-
ty of the quantity of seed and tillage, the
even moisture afforded to the seed, and the
ready supply of nutriment to the young
plant are advantages not to be slighted.
Horn Shavings resemble the organic mat-
ters of bones. Thus 100 lbs. of horn car-
ries to the soil as much animal matter as
100 lbs of bones; but bones have 66 or 67
and account it a wonder that we and ‘ out
friends escape them a single day.
lbs. of inorganic matter in that 100 lbs;
while horn has scarcely any. For turnips,
the earthy matter in the bones is more easilv—
