The ghastly discovery of a British vesiel afloat, with a dead crew is reported by the New York Mail. A pilot boat on the 22nd October reported that two days' sail from New York she encountered the British schooner Gladiator bottom up. She was in the track of vessels. A boat's crew were sent to scuttle her* The terrible stench of decompo.«ing bodies from, the cabin compelled them to desist, and in moving round the- ship they found a sailor hanging to a rope from the bowsprit. The effluvium was so overpowering that the, pilots had no doubt that the dead bodies of the crew were in the ship.
