The Triumph beJonged to Sydney, and w«s insured in thr Sydney Marine Insurance Office for £'100.—Neuxasil,; Clwo■avide, Sept. 10. TbX A'iCA. —A i-]fgram on Saturday ■stated the result of ilio trial of the pirates who seized ,this vessel. The facts of the case were stated in t.nis Journal shortly after they became known. They ■were to this effeot.:. —The Foederis Area, a French •ship, in May, 1554, left Marseilles for Cette, where she received a .cargo of wine, spirits, and coal, to carry to Vera Cruz for the French Government. .Her crew was hastily got .together, and was badly .composed. The cuptum was one Hiehebourg, the iinate one Aubert. Richebourg was sadly wanting in .energy, but at times was very severe. A,uburt was also htttn and rudo. >To sooner hud the ship put to sea than violent disputes areso between tho two •officers and £he crew, the former cimplnining that. 4ihe latter were lazy and insubordinate, the latter lepresenting that they were overworked, were unnecessarily disturbed at their meals, were rebuked and punished without rjust cause, and that they wore supplied with bad "provisions. . The npshot was that deadly animosity existed between men and officers. The men were specially irritated aeainst the mate on •account of his superior energy and greater severity, and also for his having, beforo the voyage .was cim menced, declared that in his opinion they were " a cat of rubbish." At length, on the 29th June, the men by chance got access to the spirits, aud they drank until they were tsrribly excited. Thoy then •determined to be avenged on the officers. Going on to the deck, they rushed at the mate, stabbed him . sep?atedl}, then smashed in his i-after which

liK'y tossed his dead body overboard. Then they j seized the captain, beat him drugged him a'aout the I : tlcck with a rop" round his neck, tied him to a mast ami st-oU'ed at him, and at last tlung him alive into the sea. He swam some little distanco after the vessel, and, seeing they were determined to let him perish, erie.l, " Well, goodbyo. You'll all be guillotined! A tew seconds afterwards the waves closed oyer him. Kext the ruffians attacked the cook,and he in despair leaped into the sea and was drowned. They then held a drunken deliberation, at which they concocted a tale to tell on reaching land to account for the d>s:-.n:iearan :e ol tho captain, mnto, and cook, and nvj-ved to scuttle tho (.hip. Aiturw.irds they feared that a cabiu boy, eleven ye irs of age, might inform against them, and they resolved to kill him. They put him into a boa', with two or thiee men, and theju latter pulled a little way from the snip, and then they tlung tho boy iuto the se»- The poor little fellow attempted to reach the boat, nut one of the miscroan s struck him on tile head with an oar and he went dowu. Some time alter thes'j horrible crime*, the crow, seeing a ship near, broke a hole in thy bottom of the Firderis Area and took to tho boiits. blie soon wont down, and they wero picked up and conveyed land. Ihu tale"they told of the manner ill which tho ship was lost, aud of tho death of the captain, mute, cook, and cabin boy, was so plausible that io was believed in France ; but the b.-other of tho mate, himself a seaman, considered it impossible, and demanded an investigation iuto its truth. An inquiry was uiude, find the result was that some of tho crew informed the others. Fight men were tried h»r murder and piracy, aud, us stated oil Saturday, four wero condemned to dentil, aud the rest were acquitted. The case being one of the most horrible in maritime annals, the trou, which lasted several days, excited general and profound interest in France.—.l [itcArll'x Shout Jityi.iter, June 20. jVovei, Oc.'ci itni;NCK at Ska. —We have been favoured by Csptain Tranent, of the Comerang, steamer, with the following details of an exciting occurrence which was heard and witnessed on tiie passage from Sydney to Jloruva during Tuesday last, the J4-th instant. " At a'mut 7 a.m., when oil' the Pigeon Hout-e, with a light is".K. wind, very hazy weather, an unusual noise was heard ntintervals of 30 or -V 0 seconds, apparently as it from surf du-hing inrniust a clilTor rocks. Captain Tranent immediately altered his course, supposing he was in closer proximitv than was agreeable to some ol the rceis or smail islands abounding on that part of the coast. Tho none was -still heard until 0 a.m. when the haze and fog cleate 1 oil", and an object was discerned on the starboard bow, at about two miles distance, apparently 3" or 40 feet above the water, which, but for its occasional disappearance, would have been, passed as bush laud. On a nearer approach, however, it was discovered to be a monster whale io mortal combat with one or more antagonists probably of a description called the Thrasher. Fiom this combat tho sound of the blows had passed to the steamer, a distance of fully twelve miles, she having travelled that distance trom the time the noise was first heard ; and from the appearance on passing in the \ icmi-y where the combatants were fast seen to disappear, tho conflict musf' have been terrible, as the water was in a very discoloured state caused by tho blood of the monster, which, as viewed from tho Comerang, seemed to be more than double the size of the steamer. The ci»ht caused much excitement and iuteres. amongst the passengers. i'na CiWjiiUi.—ln our last impression we gave the particulars in connection with a visit paid by Captain Allen last week to the spot where the Cawarra was wrecked. Since that notice appeared, Captain Trouton. the captain of tho Wonga Wonga, ts.s.). ai-comp ini«d by Mr. Mutton, the A.S.N Company's diver, has arrived in Newcastle, and made another inspection of the sunken wreck. 'The party went out on board the Aquarius, and the necessary preparations beins made, the diver descended. On going down, Mr. Mutton fonnd tho portions of the vessel in exactly the position described in our lost issue, as seen by Captain Allen from 'he surface of the water. The engines, the diver reports, are complete, and do not appear to have sustained the slightest damaßC beyond that, cau>ed by the action of tho water. He further states that the C'avarra is broken into three main and distinct parts. It is understood that Mr. JI uttun will report favourably as to the practicability of raioini; the engines and other portions of tho wreck. To mark the exact spot where the ei'gines lie, a buoy was fastened to (he condenser of one of the engine?. It is commonly reported that Captain Trout.m will recommend the company to sell the wreck it lies, and in tho event .of their doing so, we venture to predict that the [engines, at any rate, will not remain long where they now are. —Xnratzth- Citron(V/c, September 1!'.
