Last night,
The Minister of Marine again.
It being rumored that Captain Murphy of the Minister of-Marine intended applying for the surrender of the seamen in gaol and putting them on board, a deputation of Grand Jurymen waited on Mr Macdouald, H.M., in reference thereto, and he expressed his inability to do anything in the matter, but referred them to the Collector of Customs, who might possibly give effect to their petition that seamen might not be surrendered owing to serious consequences that might be apprehended to follow on the high seas. The Collector said* he would grant a discharge to any seaman who would swear his life was in danger at the handi oftheCaptaiu.
A Justice of Peace proceeded to see Judge Gillies, and the Government will be appealed to interpose. Meanwhile the ship is making ready for sea.
