            NEWS FROM THE CREW OF THE SAVANNAH—We are gratified to be able to state that a letter of recent date has been received from Mr. John Harleston, first officer of the privateer Savannah, in which he states that none of the officers or crew of that unfortunate vessel have yet been brought to trial; that they were situated as comfortably as could be desired under the circumstances, and that they would have the attendance of the ablest counsel in the conduct of their defence.
