ATTiMrTi.il Motisit. We learn fiom the New
Orleans Courier of the fith inst., that a mutiny
broke out on board the ship Nicholas Diddle, of
New Yoik, for New Orleans, on the 55th of Octo
ber. One of the steerage passengers, who imagined
that he had been grossly insulted by the cook, made
a violent attack on that person, and inflicted sever-. '
al wound upon him with a hatchet. The excite
ment soon became general, the cabin passage,,
taking sides wiih the officeis of the sb.p. ,,) lrioM,
in Ihe steerage being of course disposed lo aid their
comraJes. The offender, 'through the prompt con
duct of the mate, was soon secured and placed in
irons; but the passengers wrre obliged to remain
under arms for forty eight hour. He will t

Wnrrpn county, New Jersey. A man mmed Car.
pr was arrested and put upon his trial for these
murders, but on sccount or the juiy in his case not
being sble to agrpp, ha was set at liberty. Some
circumstances have since transpired, that may lead
if true, to the puni-hment of tho real participator
in this awful irsftpdy. They are these :
On Wedneiday night last a mm named Augus.
Ins Millet, wptit into a fiermnn boarding house in
Nrw Market street near Pp;, and got into a con-t-ovrrsy
with one of the bonders named William
II' yer ; afterwards he rptnrned lo his own stop,
pimi plarp. which it nrpms was in this r-amo neigh
b.trlmod, end on the last night he enme back and
renewed tlip mbje.-i ofthe prppp.ling evening. Thpy
became much exciicd. when another mint, Adam
FeicblrnfeMt interlpred and ciusida rpconcilia
tion to lake place between them.
Miller then took the latter aside and told him
tint he was one of tbp men who committed the a
hove murdpr, that hp had killed Mr. Parke by cut.
ting hi throat, and that Heyer was his acrom lire
nnd had destroyed the life of the child. He said
that by giving him up hn could make f 1000, but
LcBged him to say nothing about it until he got an
n tthcr night's rest. I immediately told 1 lever the
statement which ho had made, and Heyer then
wr-nt for a watchman and had him arrested.
Hp w as taken to the Northern Liberty police of
fice, where he con fosse I his participation in the
murder, nnd statp.l that hp bad an accomplice, but
would not implicate Heyer. He refused to givo
nnv particulars in regard lo thp manner that these
iiufoitiiiiatp individuals were put to death. Ha
was this morning brought before Mayor Cannon,
and by him committed for a further hearins. No
additional partieuhr were elirite.l from him. 'Phc
ainir abonothcr is a singular oiip, and might induce
supposition that thp man i insmc ; but thorp nre
not the slightest indications of it. The object in
making the confiKsion, he ta!ed. was on account
