Mutiny on an American ship.

--The American bark Champion, Captain Nichols, bound from Cienfuegos to San Juan de los Remedios, put into Havana for officers and provisions. On sailing again, the crew mutinied in sight of the harbor, and the captain, after much deliberation, was compelled to use force to restore them to obedience; in doing so, he shot the cook, who seemed to be the ringleader. Subsequently he returned with his ship to the port and delivered himself and men over to the American Consul, who will send them over to Key West by the U. States ship Crusader, for trial.
