On my arrival in Cardiff, Davis promised better behavior, and I retained him; but scarcely had a week elapsed before he kicked up another row.

While drinking with this Captain he had invited, he assaulted him with a bowie-knife, and came near killing him. He was taken by the authorities of Cardiff, tried and sentenced to four years hard labor in the galleys in London, and he came on here, in the ship Susan G. Owens, with Capt. Norton, three months ago, when he went to Savannah. He is a desperate man, and a man of no moral principle whatever. H. S. Lelby.

Miss Barteine is a good vocalist, and her ballads are received with immense applause.
