Revenue Cutter Revolt.-- On Monday last, says the Boston Transcript, eleven men, belonging to the revenue cutter Hamilton, were taken by the Marshal of the District from that vessel, and brought to this city, charged by the officer in command with insubordination and mutiny.-- Captain Howard, commander of the cutter was absent on leave, and the charge of the cutter devolved upon Lieut. Scott. The men charged with mutiny were examined before Judge Davis on Monday and committed to jail to take their trial at the U. S. Circuit Court to be holden here in October. We understand that the men did not deny having refused to do duty, but one or more stated in mitigation, or as a reason for their offence, that they had not received any wages for the support of their wives and families for the last ten months. The statement, we are told, was uncontradicted, and it would seem that there must be great fault somewhere. Com. Elliott was applied to by the Lieutenant Commandant of the cutter for assistance, which he promptly rendered.
