The Cardiff Magistrates have acted in a most unwarrantable manner—they have actually committed three American mates' because they knocked about a lot of black fellows I—breaking the. arm of* one, tearing1 open the cheek of another, and so on. These American officers wore so happy as to have a, crew composed chiefly of negroes and coloured men ; and they werei* treating them outside the port of Cardiff as if they luid them in a port of the Southern States; but an English pilot informed the town authorities of what was going on, a steamer was despatched to the ship—the Gleaner— the first, second, and third mates were arrested, and tho wounded seamen were brought on shore.
