Murder of an Officer and eight Men of the Wasp, by the Ckew of a Slaver. — A most distressing circumstance has occurred in the African squadron. The Wasp, 18, Commander S. H. Usher, took a prize, which was sent to Sierra Leone, to be condemned. On her way this prize fell in with and took another slaver; the lieutenant in command still keeping charge of the first vessel, put a midshipman, named Harmei, into the other. The vessels then separated. Unfortunately Mr. Haimer allowed a strong party of the slave crew to remain out of irons, and at night they rose and murdered every Englishmen on board; and, when daylight broke, exchanged signals with and fired at the other prize, and then bore away. In a day or two afterwards she fell in with the Star, 6, Commander Dunlop, who took her, and brought the whole of the piratical crew to Ascension. The villains will shortly be ■ent to England in the Heroine, 6, Lieut.-Com-mander Foote, and the Rapid, 10, Commander Earle.
