A Serious Affair.
During a ball last night on board, the barque Excelsior, lying at the Fort, the crew made an unprovoked attack on the officers, who were at the festivities, the men used belaying pins, marling spikes and revolvers. The mate was fired At but the shot missed, all other officers were wounded more or less severely in the head. The Captain received a serious blow on the right temple, and after a great struggle, the mutineers were arrested and will be charged at the Polioe Court to day.
