TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. sta—The moral influence of The Tines upon the sentiments and opinions of the country exhibits a striking instance of the utility of an Independent press. It is by means of that stupendous engine that Kings are taught to respect the rights and privileges of their subjects, and the national mind is unfolded, instructed, and ma tured. But the eery liberty of the press, so essential to the liber ties of the people, contains within itself the germ of its own de gradation. A popular journal is a source of individual wealth, and a channel of appeal to the passions of the community. Hence the numerous venal journals, reared on the principle of gainful calcu lation, and circulated under the protection of party influence. klinisterial support is a tolerably safe basis on which to conduct an intelligent Paper, especially if the Government happen to be popular; but the utility of an able Journal is most extensive, whin it takes its place on the side of the opposition. The party in power will never want advocates to defend their measures, not column. tsxors to expound their doctrines. A highly-talented and constitutional Journal, like The Tuna, should ever be the jealous watchman of the people, to warn thee of the encroachments of their rulers ; aid, by keeping aloof from the Ministry, should stand above the reach of suspicion. The readers of that journal, who constititte, or did constkute, a large majority of the newspaper readers of England, still remem ber the force and influence of its leading articles, when dictated by anti-ministerial principles ; but now, that it labours to support the Government, its talent is obscured, and its usefulness suspended, by the application of its power to objects on which, happily, its force is not calculated to act. Its present laborious and abortive efforts to support the views of a Ministry form • stfiking contrast to the and cacy with which it long advocated the principles of constitu tional right. Who that had not seen it could imagine that the same Journal which, under the influence of a jealous apprehension of military domination, opposed the advancement of the Duke of . Wellington to the Premiership of England, and en the additional ground alas declaration of incapacity, now attempts to uphold the appointment of the traitor Bourmont to a high station in, the French Ministry ! Had the friends of the Duke supported his advancemeit by urging us to* wait till he had committed himself" before we rejected hint, The Tines would have torn such ribaldry to rags by a single stroke of its inimitable pen. Let me, Sir, entreat you, on behalf of the nation whom yen serve, to forbear devoting your invaluable talents to the support of any Ministry, however constituted. The Government are the servants of the country ; the nation have long looked up to you as the guardian of their liberties, and the champion of their rights. Your proper station is in the front of the people ; but if you enlist an Ad. ministration under your banners, they will question the sincerity of your patriotism, and undervalue the blessings of a free press. I am. Sir, with the greatest respect, your very obedient servant, A READER OF THE TIMES. COURT CIRCULAR.

DOVER, SEPT. 2. The late severe weather has contributed in a great degree to produce an unparalleled influx of company to this place; and the shortness of the passage to the Continent, with the sure. rlotity of the steam-packets, has proved how highly this route is esteemed. To-day no less than four steam-packets sailed : two for Calais, two for Boulogne, with seventeen carriages and fami lies, and from two to three hundred other passengers.

THE EXISTING NAVAL COURT MARTIAL. FROM A CORRESPONDENT. HUDIBRAS says-- " Letters often ealllC the writers To curse the time they were inditers." Nothing more true. Hitherto we have suspended all comment upon the proceedings of this unprecedented in quiry, until such inconsistencies and contradictions have transpired to justify intermediate remarks. It is pain fully lamentable that an officer of superior rank, who has hitherto been floating in the most exalted altitudes of his country's admiration,—adorned not only with the laurels of courage, but acknowledged for his refined honour of senti ment and moral conduct,—should now be groaning under the weight of general reprobation in those circles, where superior discernment can promptly detect the slightest propensity to violate the sacred principles of fair truth. It is not our intention, when discussing this subject, to seek gratification, or by personal attack, or personal compliment. The basis of our comments is the broad, unpolluted principle of argumentum ad homi- Atm, for the purpose of public justice to all parties in volved in the question at present under the consideration of the most honourable characters,—who have, during the proceedings, de die in diem, evinced that they are unfettered by any description of prejudice, whether pro fessional, or moral, or official ;—and, most independently uninfluenced by aught that may await their current and ultimate determinations, from the approbation or displea- sure of constituted authority. Yes the Court hasmani fested itself a chaste undeffikwed crucible, for the purpose of ascertaining, through the medium of strict truth, where purity or impurity exists ;—and then dispassion ately, and with undaunted integrity, to pronounce their judgment accordingly. It must appear to every one, uninfluenced by partial or personal feelings, that the true motives of the equivocal prosecutor were never intended to meet the public eyes The most disgraceful and, de grading hesitations have blotted every declaration and reply throughout his evidence thus far. What inference must naturally be drawn as to the original motives of a Commander-in-Chief, when he himself declares, that the poisonous insinuations in his extra-official, clandestine communications, were never intended to be made a wea pon of accusation ? 41 But. above all, far let me Br From those who deal th' invidious lie, And work, like moles, unseen." And what can prove more strongly unconsciousness of error, on the part of the victim of these insinuations, than his having requested, rather demanded, that his conduct might be investigated ? And, how ? by that tri bunal most competent to judge upon the occasion. Our more minute remarks will, we trust, fully justify all we shall publish upon this proceeding. The Admiral disavows all intention even to have arraigned publicly the conduct of a subordinate commander: at the same time, having expressed censurable opinions to a superior power, which opinions could not fail to leave an indelible impression upon the mind of that power, highly in jurious to the honour and future advancement of the secretly-accused officer,—had it not, by accident, as it were, transpired that such opinions had been con veyed. If such opinions were justifiable, it was the Admiral's duty to have brought the censurable party to a Court-Martial, for the honour and discipline of the service, no less than common justice ; and if, on the other hand, no cause of censure existed, how reprehen - Bible to poison the mind of controuling power with a pre judice against an innocent man, who, it appears, de served the highest public eulogium, instead of secret reprobation ! Then, again, is it probable that the Capt. would have ventured to ask the Admiral (the latter on his oath at the time), if he, (the Admiral). did not recol lect certain interviews, and certain expressions, at certain periods, when it was impossible that such interviews could have taken place (in ships) without the knowledge of many other Officers ?—thereby exposing himself to detection and defeat, upon that most of all incontestable and satisfactory proof—alibi ; for a visit cannot be paid afloat as on shore. A person on shore mav, if he be intent so to do, obtain an interview, ate-t . )-fite, with another, unobserved by a third ; but when an Officer, especially the Captain, quits his ship to pay his per sonal respects to the Admiral—their respective ships being at some distance from each other—he (the Captain) must necessarily be conveyed in a boat, to the knowledge of every one on board the ship he commands, and the boat's crew immediate witnesses of his movements. Then he cannot ascend the side of another ship without being ' received on the quarter-deck, to the knowledge of every Officer on that deck ; nor can he obtain an interview with the Admiral without being announced ; or, at least, if circumstances or confusion after a battle were such as to intercept, or render certain etiquette unnecessary, it cannot fail to be known by numbers that Captain •had an interview with the Admiral; also his quitting the ship after the interview must be alike known, and wit- need by many. Thus, we do contend, that the Captain would not be so rash, or so imbecile, as to risk such in terrogations, whatever might be the object of them, when such facilities of refutation existed to destroy that object. But to these most pointed questions from the Captain to the Admiral, the latter (though not without some hesita tion) replies in the negative ; or avails himself of that offensive, disgusting, deprecated equivoque " non nii ricordo." This, alone, we insist upon it, exhibits impurity of in tendon ; and so the Admiral comes out of the crucible tainted, in the eyes of every one who peruses, with com mon attention, the minutes of the Court, It is not our intention to select this peculiar proceeding for our re proof, and limit our reprobation to evasive testimonies • upon such occasions as this. But we announce that we shall boldly consign all public characters to the crucible of the most rigid, but dispassionate investigation, when ever political or moral delinquency shall presume to in sult public judgment, and set public opinion at defiance, either to gratify secret personal spleen, or outrage na tional feeling. For this day, however, we have done ; but we shall resume this very momentous question for the serious consideration, not only of the parties concerned, but of a discerning public. It is said that the ruin which would be consequent on the sale of the Ant wardrobe, splendid scenery, glasses, chande liers, and decorations of Covent-garden Theatre, is likely to be averted, by the interference of three or four persons of high rank and consideration. The Union, Oriental, and BOODLE'S Club-houses are all closed while undergoing repair and new decorations. Several families which had left town for the sea side, it is said, have been driven back again by the late tempestuous weather. The New Police will came into active operation, we are told, on the 29th of this month. Professional men speak in high terms of the manner in' which the new Chief lades of the Common Pkas, &r N.TTIMAL, has performed the ardsomthitles of his Ent circuit. At the Surrey adjairned Sessions, on Monday, the business was very light, owing to the Anises having been so re cently held. There were but two or three trilling cases of felony, and about as many assault charges, .all of which were disposed of by two o'clock in the afternoon. A " Guard-house" is fitting up in Scotand-yard for the aural station of the New Police. BATTLE OF NAVARIN. COURT MARTIAL MARTIAL uron CAPTAIN DICKENSON, R.N. (emus out consurounner.) PORTSKOU/11, DAT. Again this morning the m.mbers of the Conn.:turtle! re►umed their important investigation at the appointed hour. On (be sitting of the Court, Capt. Dickenson requested that the letter which Sit Edward Codringtoo stated, in bis evidence yesterday, to have written to the Lords of the Admiralty ftom Malta, complaining of the conduct of the Genoa, should be read by the Court. The Arivecare-Gzegam. said, that be bad it not. The COOLT thereupon ordered it to be written for. Capt. BATIIIS was then called to depose to the 6th and 7th charges, mentioned in our Paper yesterday. The charges being read, be was requested to state all he knew relative to them. He said that the impression on his mind was, that the Genoa was tardy In her refitul. On the morning after the battle, he saw her miser-mast fall overboard. By the Passau:sr—He was of opinion that the Genoa was fit to go to sea en the 24th ; be believes she was reported fit on the 25th. He does not know whether the Asia was retarded going to sea by the tardiness of the Genoa; the impre.sion on Isis mind is, that she was one of the causes which prevented the sailing of the squadron ; be did not see any cause why the Genoa dropped astern of the A•ia. He cannot recollect whether the Asia or Genoa were the best sailors. The Genoa appeareJ to spread more sail after they lett Navarin. By Sir H. Bh.scuwooo—l wish Captain Baynes would stare his reason fur saying the Genoa was tardy. Capt. Bayliss—From her nut being ready until the 25th, and receiving assistance from the Gla4guw, when the Asia, which bad received more injury, was ready on the 24th. Sir Huse Bhamtwoon--Cati you sag who the officer was who came on board the Asia to re; ort the devil of CaptAin Bathurst? Captain BATIIIIF4 have no recollection who it was. By Captain SCNOM3III4—Who was the first that informed you of she wound. of Captain Bathurst ? Captain Baysta—l heard it that eveiling,.buf I cannot say who it was that told me. • By Capt. &tiara—Was tbs Asia at work all night of the 1.541? Captain Bantus—No; we did not work all night; we worked tW a late boar in the evening, and commenced at day-tight nest morning. Captain Ei.t.torr—Was We . Asia in a state to go to sea ou the morning of the 24th? Captain 1131111'1111hI cannot say she was ; she might have been got ready shortly after, if necessary. Captain litusurr--Wu it possible to have got the .Isla ready oa the night of the 24th? Captain Bareas—Certahtly,lf It Ind been requisite. Captain F.suore—Did you torm any opin.on before the 24th u to the tardiness ot the Genoa? Captain Baroxs—l don't recollect. Cape. &Lorry—Had the Ada any assistance front any other ship? Capt. Barna—We had no assistance, except w►at we got Huns the tender. Capt. Ea.:Jove—Did you think that the inizen-mast of the Genoa feU fur want of proper attention ?--if precaution bad been taken, It baying stood thirteen houri after the action, it would riot have oceared. Was the Asia's complement complete during the action?—The Ada's complement was not complete; there were 605 ; her full complement is ';4O, exclusive of twenty supernumeraries. There were several Midshipmen included in the Admiral's retinue, which were included in the 603. Do you remember the Genoa passing the Asia?—Yes. Did she appear to have great superiority in sailing on that day ? —Sbe did. Did you attribute it to any additional sail she had set ?—Yes, I saw the maintop-gallant-sail set; there might have been others. Huw much did the Genoa gain on the Asia that day?—Fire or six miles perhaps. By Captain Gosoox—State, as near as you can recollect, the condition of the Asia, with respect to her masts and rigging, at the conclusion of the action? The main-mast and mizon-mast were in very bad condition ; all oar shrtsuds were cut away.—(Here Captain Baynes entered into a long technical account of the state of the rigging). Did the Genoa sail in company with the Asia and squadron previous to the action ?--Sbe did. Wu the Genoa as active as other ships In her evolutions ? Ido not think she was. By Captain DiCEISIMII—Where did you hitch your jury misen mast ?—On the main deck. How many fishes had you on the main deck?—We had one of our fishes abaft the mast.—(Hero the witness 'gain entered into a technical description of the ship's tackle.) Captain DiCMIIIOII asked permission of the Coati to put the following question—ln what part of the bull of the Ada did else suffer most (tom the enemy's fire? Captain Banns—ln the after 'part, on the starboard side. The Paganize: observed, that a description of the injury the Asia sustained ought to be written for to the Dock Yard, and direct ed the Advocate-General to do so. Capt. DIMIXIIOII said, that he bad a great many questions to ask, but be should prefer them be ing asked by the Court ; but, for his pan, be was satisfied. Mr. AMDSZWS, the Purser of the Gordo, was then called. The Jonas called on him to state what he knew of the misen-mast of the Genoa going overboard ? Mr. Ausszws--I was on deck ors the morning of the 91st of October, at eight o'clock. Capt. Memnon was on board. I ob served to him, if the men were not called down from the top, that they had a chance of going overboard. They were called down, and shortly after the mizen-mast went overboard. I did not hear that any thing was done to secure it. Paearozirr—What reason had you to think that the men would go overboard? There was a heavy gale from off the land. Captain Scrioruszata—What was the nature of the injury the mast had received? The mast was very severely wounded about the poop deck ; I sbould think six or seven feet. TheAovocays-Grosaat said, that be had received letters front the Admiralty, stating that the gunner's books were sent to him, giving an account of the quantity of powder used on board the Asia, Genoa, and Albion at the action of Navarin. The books were then produced, but in the absence of the gunner the evidence could not be received. l'he gunner of the Genoa was ordered to be sent for. Captain Dscumesou stated that the extracts were incorrect, inas much as he had received a letter front the gunner, who is now at Sheerness. stating, that in the action of Navarin there was 11,375 lbs. of powder, whereas that part from the gunner's books states that there were only 70891b5. made use of. Mr. Wood, the simmer, as also all other gunners wbo made out the extracts, proved them, and there appeared from them, that on the 20th Oc tober, 1827, The Asia used 9,292 lbs of powder The Albion . 11,902 The Genoa . 7,689 The extracts also contained the quantity of cannonades, balls, grape shut, &c. &c. Capt. Dicer:mos objected to tuese extracts, as being incorrect, and therefore required the gunner of the Genoa to be written for. The Court was ordered to fie cleared kand after an absence of al minutes we were again admitted, when the Court informed Capt. D. that the gunner of the Genosihould be written tor. Capt. Smern was called in support of the 7th charge, as to the mizen-mast of the Genoa going overboard—he was requested to state what be knew about it.— He said, that alter the action, when they had thrown the dead overboard, they nude every necessary exertion to secure the nusen-mast by fishes. The injury which the mast suffered was great—it was nearly cut one-third through about nine or ten feet above the deck. On the morning that the mast fell, be tassel ved it to totter, and the men who were aloft on it were called down; they scarcely had got down when it fell. He attributed it to the injury it had received, as era; as a sudden blast of wind coming at that moment. He further stated another circumstance which also contributed to its fall, which was endeavouring to unship the topmast. By Admiral OTWAT Was every proper precaution taken to save the misen-mast ? In my humble opinion there was. By Captain Suowazza—Was it Captain Dickenson who ordered you to do what was dune to secure the mast ? It was. Captain Goat:son—l would wish to know what the actual state of the Genoa was with regard to her masts, yards, and rigging. I beg leave to read minutes which I made myself immediately after the action, descriptive of her state, which I think will be a full answer to the question. He then read a lodt list of minutes, with an account of the number of wounds which the masts received, and also the number of shrouds which were shot away. Captain GoaDon—State the condition in which the Genoa sailed from Navatin. I cannot from recollection state what quantity of sail we could make when we left Navarin; but this I recollect, that in such a state of equipment and repair was the Genoa put in Navarin and on her passage to Malta, considering the extent of damait abe re ceived, comparatively nothing was left to be dune at the dock-yard at Malta. Captain Goanos—What was the complement of the Genoa, and was it complete at the action? I think it was, or nearly sot it was between 530 and 550 men. By Capt. DICIICENION- What further assistance did we get in the dock-yard at Malta for the mast ? " Five clasp hoops put on." Capt. Cusses was then called, when the Preddent said that be understood be wished to correct hi, evidence, as far as regard, d the number of killed and wounded. Capt. Cuezon said he did not wish to correct it. as far a s Impression on bin own mind west hut that he had ices a locum- t upon which be could with more safety rely than upon his owl, n.. - awry • but it did not alter the total number. The Court a id, if that was the case, the evidence need not i.e altered. Capt. OSIKAISZT was called, to know why he bad not signed the gunner's book ? He replied, that it was the gunner's business to have brought it to him ; he passed his accounts at the Admiralty, and received his pay—(A laugh). Captain Dos:woos—Did you, during the battle. fire both your broadsides ?—We fired principally from the starboard, and some times from the larboard side. Did you fire both your broadsides at once?—tide did. The eighth charge was now gone into, which was the Geliill having fired after the battle, when Sir EDWAND CODILISOTOIS was called, who stated as follows Towards the close of the action, one of the F.gyptian frigates nest to Bloharim Beys ship was on fire, and appeared he, drifting down upon the Ada. The last engagemei. t which the Asia had with any ship of considerable tome was this very frigate on fire, and Moharim Beys ship. The situ,tioa of the Asia at that moment, being in a line with the wind, and the line of her opponent enveloped with smoke, was in a great measure invisiEge with the ships in the line on either side. A cessation of the firing seemed to me to take place. and I subsequently learned their ansiety fat the safety of the Asia, each ship endeavouring to get boats to our assistance. At this momeni the frigate in question blew up, and exploded. and upon the smoke clearing away, I had a good view of the ships around me. Nome of them, not immediately cositiguou. to the Asia, recommenced tiring; but as I before stated. Ido nut think the Asia fired a gun after the battle. Observing the Genoa fire at thistime, and nut seeing any reason for her so (wing, but thinking she was likeiy to damage some of our own snips, I hailed her I think myself, and desired her to cease, anti she did cease.—(The entry at: the lug-book was read, which corroborated Sir Edward's statement). Pacsauncv--lis w hat position with respect to the Asia was the Genoa lying after the smoke had cleared off? Nearly in the position 1 had seen her during the action. In that position could any of her larboard guns bear upon the Asia They certainly could; but I am convinced no shut came from bet it.to the Asia. Admiral ()near —Did the Cellos coeditor to lie after the bat:lei to the probable injury of the Allied l..rcet? Sir bred after chat 1 comierred her battle; I looted round to sew if three wet any ‘ufEcirot object to fire, and. bring convinced she was likely to do harm, I hail, d her. The COURT adjourned at a little after four, and it is expt tied that the caae, on the part of the prosecution, will cln,c to-morrow. The only ch a rge now IP be dispo.rJ of Is that of the round-robin. The Court was crowded to race's throughout •he day with ladies. The Lady of Capt. Dickemon, ou Alunday last, at Mount Plea sant, Plymouth, was early delivered of a son and heir, and in arti cipation of the result of the Court Martial, it is said ht has bee.' christened '• Navarkto."
