Or. Thursday sehowght there were upwards of ten thou sand salmon in Berwick market, which had been caught in the Tweed, some of which might have bees bought it 2s each. At the same time the finest her ring% of whioh an immense shoal is now on the coast, were sold for 2s..flie hundred, of six score.- On the .7' seine di*, • the best salmon was sold in Newcastle barker it 6d. per lb. and some of the inferior kinds, we Are informed. - were told as low as 4d. • At the late Greenland fishery, the harpooner's of ,• one of the Aberdeen-ships struck a fish, but Owing to - bad weathertoeuing on, were obliged to cut and leave • her, with theharpoons and lines. Next day they struck another, add who should this be but their old friend, k with their tackling. Another storm came on, when • they were obliged to cUrand leave all a second time. • The following day the identical fish, unwilling to part with them, came up at their bow, groaned piteously, and in half An hour was secured. Among the great number of Whales which have been killed this season in the Greenland' seas, one taken by . the British Queen, of Newcastle, Captain . Bistienign, Was very. remarkable. 13oth its jaw. bones, 'rum some great violence, had undergone a complete fracture, and were again perfectly united in the 'Usual manner. .• The bones now lie at Shields, and afford one of the best specimens of that peculiar restorative process of Nature on the animal economy. The first ships from India in the open trade, under the new Charter, roily he expected very soon. Several were in course of outfit at •Bomhay in March last. It will be; seen by an Adtertisement in a rreeeding Inge, that the Duns of WELLINGTON Packet, of New have*, hitherto advertised to sail from that port for France, is DOW to sail, in fine weather, regularly from Brighton, on Moseley Evenings. This alteration has originated on aec"ut.t of Tuesdays interfering with the day of the Eliza, Captain LIND, who has been Than years Master of a Packet from Brighton. The Owners of the WELLINOTON, in order to avoid doing Capt in LIND an injtiry, hive handsomely agreed to the alteration in question. There are now Packets from Brighten every day in the week. The superior vessels are the Dom of WeLLINGTorr, ELIEA, 14100 wits, NIIPTIJNE, and FtviNc-etsir, which sail regularly after the arrival of tlia London coaches. Some dais ago, a person, with warrants, arrived at . tlie Oid Ship Iron, Brighton, in quest of Mrs. ;Rogers, .Dr. Bowen, &c. in consequence of the sus picoms wt ich had arisen, on a Coroner's Inquest, respecting the new. horn infant that was found in the River Thames, on the 22,1 ult. near to Strand-on-the Green, Rew Bridg , -.—The visit, however, was an in• effectual nm., fir Mrs. Rogers, Dr. Bowen, and Mrs. Bewen, their mulatto servant, &c. embarked in the is 2 iza packet, Captai n L IND , o n Tu es d a y se ' nn i g h t , ii. and had a speedy passage to France. The party ar ilrived at the Old Ship, ahnut ten o'clock, in the mil-n -ing of Tuesday, and sailed, as above-stated, on the same evening. • COURT 317,1RTML • Saturday se'nright a Court Martial assembled on hoard the Salvador, in H.imoaze, roe the trial of Lieutenant Cuartuts Tiwav LEAV.EIit late Com mander of his Majtisry's sloop MARTIAL. Captain the Right Honourable Joits Lord CoLviLLE, Presi dent. WILLIAM EASTLAKE, Esq. ofhciming Judge Advocate. The trial laced six days. The follow- ing is :4 cony of the Charges : I st—For that he, caul Lieutenant Charles Tovcy Leaver, belhig Commander of the stoop Martial, did, on board the 'mote sio ,on various &Is, between the Inth day of Jtily, 1.2, and the Hth day of March, 11313, cause tu be inflicted upon John An hiAng a boy belonging to the said sloop Martial, frequent, severe, and excessive punishment, insomuch as thereby to cause the death 6 the said John Ansel!, in breach of the 28th Article of War. 'd—Fnr thz... he, the said Lieuterant Charles Tuve) , Leaver, did, on various clai•s;between the periods above-mentioned, cause the said } to be punished in a cruel and excessive mane: r, !)y criatilif., a . me'hod unnothmized and repugnant to the It ides of li!i M.:jest y's Nnval service : and also to be pumsbed whlle he %Vas oild:r the Si:revolt's care on the sick list. sd—For baying, shortly prevlous to the death of the said John Ansell, and whilst he was in a stare of sickness, caused cold water to thrown over him, and his head to be scrubbed, with scrub hin7,-bruslies : and, for hairing caused him, in that state, to be confined in Ike coal-bole. 4tll. —For having, between the periods above-mentioned. re peavolly neglected to insert, in the quarterly returns of puni4h ments on board the said sloop, transmitted to the Cotnmatider in-Chief, the mimes of the said John Ansell, and others of the crew, upon whom punishment h ad been inflicted, during the pe riods for which those returns were made, &c. William Crowder, Boatswain's Mate, stated, that he saw John Ansel' several times flogged, by order of the prisoner, for his dirty habits, and also cobbed with a coViing-hoard. He was confined two days and nights in the coal-hole, with a bucket tied to him, and at terwards washed in a tub, and scrubbed with a scrubbing-brush. Never heard the Surgeon object to. his being scrubbed ; did not believe he dirted himself intentionally, but from natural weakness. Jame: St%bear, Quarter-Master, stated the same circumstances as to the boy's frequent punishments with the cat, and tf•at fie heard the prisoner order the Carpenti r's Mate to m..ke a cobbing-board, with which he was St viral times cobbed. He was theft eery offensive with his nastiness, and,shortly after. wards he ti as confined in the coal-hole. Thought the boy u as not in his riehr. mind. William Dunn, seaman, confirmed the testiniony sit to the boy's frequent fl :ggings, and confinement in the coal-hole: and a!sn that he was hauled up and scrubbed, and had cold water thrown over him the morning of his death. John Ffint, Car pew er's Mate, elated, that the boy wa floggi d at different times, but could not say how rftell. He made a cobbing-board by the prisoner's orders ; it was of oak, and had several holes bored in the round of it. Saw the boy frequently punished with it. for soiling his trowters, but he sail he could not help it. He was cot fined in the coal hole twice, with the batch shut. The morning of his death he was taken out, and not being able to walk, was hauled up by a rope round his body, and then scrubbed ; shortly after which he died, _ - Robert Cairncron, I sfivint, and assisted the Sur. geon.—The boy Ansell, had the flux, and was on the s.ck list about a fortnight before his death. Hila heard the Surgeon several times tell the prisoner not to punish the boy any more, as he would be toe death of him. The morning the boy died the prisoner sent for the Surgeon, and asked him if the boy was deedl ' He ieplied- 4 i Yes, Sir, you are the death of him at last." The Surgeon had sometimes ordered the boy to be washed and cleaned 'with warm water. Witnes !card the prisoner give the orders for the boy to be sci fibbed after the Surgeon's representation. SECOND DAY.-AUGUST 22. thomeir Helder, gunner's-mate, stated, that the bny was flogged twice with a cat-o'nine-tails a few weeks after he joined the ship; and shortly afterwards be o an to get sickly, and became very bad with the flux. He pleaded innocence, and said that he could not help dirtying himself. It was of no use making any lament, the phisoner said he shOuld punish him till he could help its He was very frequently punished, and for some tithe two or three times a week,',---was in general flogged by the boys of the ship. Witness was one of four of the stoutest men that flogged him, the boys kept punishing him afterwards; the corral). tion and blood came front him at the time. The pri soner then ordered a cribbing board to be made for him, with which he was frequently punished. He was scrubbed in the head the morning he died, on the larboard side of the fore-hatchway ; he fell down on his right side with his arms folded across, about half pact eight o'clock: had nothing on but an old waist:. coat. Witness put his hand upon the body ) and it was quite stiff and cold. The Surgeon examined it, and he said it was quite dead. He was committed to the deep with the usual ceremony, about 11 o'clock. When the boy was punished, the prisoner was some.: times, but not always present; does not recollect whether he was present when the boy was flogged by himself and three other men the vessel was then laying in . 3tonehonse Pool, each of the four gave him half a dozen; Witness took pity on him, and 'did not inflict the punishment as hard as he could.— Does not know by whole orders he. was then flogged. Witness s..as called froM below for the purpose, by the boatswain's-mate. Never-heard the Surgeon say to the prisoner that We:ought not to be punished.— Does not know whether the washing was with the approbation of the Surgeon. Never saw him washed with warm water, but has with cold : it appeared to be for the purpose of cleaning him. Never knew any other boy in the vessel.to punished by men. The hands were nut turned up when the boy was flogged by the four men. The Order was given by the hoar swain'a-mate, but he -Considered that it came fri.rn the quarter-deck. Saw•the boy in the coal-hole with the bucket to his breech, but -does not know how long he was there, nor how long before his death. Recol lects his being brought bn board from the Aitnivil's Office, as a deserter, when the brig was laying under MoUnt Wise. Remembers hii being sometimes hauled up the hatchway with a rope, when he was notable to walk, for air, and the good of his health. Does not recollect his being hauled from the coal-hole, or being placed in the • head. He appeared in pretty good health when punished under Mount Wise. The punishments, when inflicted, appeared to the witness rather heavy, being quite a lad; considered him to be in danger of dying, on the morning that he was scrubbed on the forecastle. Does not know whether be walked up, or was hauled up . • does not recollect his tieing punisli.,:d the day before his death. Robert rarhsr, late Clerk of the 41artial. proved the hand.writing of the prisoner to elb tjusrterlt re turns of punishments onboard the Martial, from the sth July, 1812, to the sth April, ISI3. Knows nothing as to the correctness of the two first returns. The third does not contain a mi.., account of the punishMents which took piece during the quarter, from eeth January, to sth April. 1813. Witness was desired by the prisoner to on.et the names of John Averts, and John Exteri, privete marines; John Me redith, Deniel Youlen, and Morris Conner, lands. men ; end John Ansell, boy. Caenot state the of fences for which the men were punished, but heard the prisoner say the boy WAS punished for dirtiness. Knows the men were actually punished ; was pre sent at the boy's punishment, and also at Aven's, Poulon's, and Connor's. They were flogged at the gang-way, and received from two to three dozen each. The reason the prisoner gave the wimess for not inserting the names was because they were not mentioned in the log-brink. They were all punished on the back as men. Witness made a minute of the names at the time. The quarterly returns were made by verbal communication from the Lieutenant. The Master was present, the prisoner having sent for him and desired him not to insert the names in the log book. A rough book was kept by the prisoner's orders, from which the quarterly returns were mede. The punishments 'were generally inserted in the rough, book immediately after they were inflicted. The pri soner was present at the punishments he seer, which were not inserted. Some time after wit , .ass joined , the brig, the boy Ansell was, by the prieerer's orders, l lashed to a bucket, and put down into the coal-hole, and • kept there for • a day and nie . ee, with only a waistcoat on him and his trowsers. Heard the pri soner give the 'order to• put him dawn. The next morning he was taken on the fcrecastle, where v:i:- ness beard him crying out. A! out half an hoe: after, he was brought down below, and laid under the table ; he cculd not walk down. Went with Mr. Norman, the doctor, to see him, and found him naked. They examined his body, and found it from his loins downwards very much bruised, and in a state of mortification. He was not punished for a few days or a week after that ; he was then taken on deck, and witness beard him singing out. Some time after he was ill and on the doctor's list, he was then put into the coal-hole again, after which witness did not see him punished. 011 the lid) of March witness was walking on the quarter-deck with the iprisoner, and observed the boy Ansell on the top of the ladder of the fore-hatchway with a tin cup in his hand. Saw him put his head down on the cable, and he fell immediately down altogether. Told the pri soner of it, bat he made no aaswtr. Witness then went helow and told the doctor, who was either sere for or went on deck. The prisoner sent fn. witness, who wee& to him in his cabin. He told him to read prayers over the deceased, as he would not read them ewe such a dilly wretch. About half past ten wit ness went on deck and read the service. The pri soner was belreer. When it was finished. witness went and told him: he made no answer, but whistled. Does not knee: that the bey was punished the day , before his death. Did not see him scrubbed the morning he died. Never neard the surgeon say any thing to the prisoner respecting the boy's punishments. lieows that Mr. Norman, the surgeon, is dead.— Heard the prisoner threaten to dis-rate Mr. Cawsey, midshiprilen, for having beat John Anse)). • Thomas Fielder, again called in.--:-Does not recollect any men being puarshed, excert tricee mentioued in • tee qua:terl returns. Has frequently complained to the prieiner of Jahn Ansell's dirty habits—he made a practice of turning the pigs out of the stye, and sleeping on their dung and straw ; he had run men's clothes and bedding given him at different times by the prisnner's direetiorrs, bat it was not pos sible to make him wear or keep them. People could not clean his clothes, he had such a stnell—supposes it was necessary to wash him for the preservation of his health. Does not recollect the word being passed that prisoner would punish any person found ill-treat ing John Ansell. William Gimp, seaman, statect, that Ansell was put down in the coal-hole, with a bucket tied to him— does not knove , who ordered him there. Saw him flogged under Mount Wise by four men : saw him in the head for three or four hours with a bread bag over him—the ship was at sea—saw him cobbed three or four times by the boys, doet not know by whose order—saw him scrubbed in the head by two men, sometimes with a broom. and sometimes with a scrubbing brush—heard the prisoner give the orders for his being scrubbed, but did not hear him give orders for his being cobbed; never saw him present on those occasions. Did not see the boy the morning of his death till he was dead—does not recollect his receiving any punishment the day before his death. , Was himself punished by order of the prisoner, twice without turning the hands up, and three or four times besides when the hands were turned up; got a dozen each time, Patrick Aforfine, seaman, stated, when he went on board the Martial, the boy was well in health and looked fresh coloured in the face. He used fre. quently to water his trowsers ; witness often asked him the reason, lie said he could not help it. A little time afterwards he was punished very severely by the' prisoner's orders, sometimes lie got two dozen and sometimes three dozen. He was put in the head by the prisoner's orders, with a bread hag over him, and remained between three and four hours ; Mr. Hough ton, the master's mate, ordered him out—the ship was pitching bows under at the same time : from there he was immediately put down in the coal-bole, with a bucket lashed to him ; heard the prisoner give tiro ieeiers ; the boy was kept in the coa:-hole two days and two nights; he was taken out and hauled tip on the main-deck with a tope's end, and helped to the head, where lie was scrubbed with salt water and a square scrubbing brush ; he kid at the same time very bad sores and ulcers on him. The last time he was flogged was about six days before he I died : he got three dozen on the back—saw him scrubbed the morning of his death ; did not see the surgeon upon deck till after his death. Never knew him scrubbed by order of the surgeon. The day he was taken from the coal-hole he crawled along the deck, lie could net stand upright. Does not remem ber the names olany n u n punished except those in tl;e Quartet ly Returns. The boy died the same morn ing that lie clime out of the coal-hole—he was twice confined there. John Bapt:ae, seaman, stated. that Ansell was a strong jolly buy, when witness joined the Menial: a little while after he was in the habit of ea , ine Wm. self between dircki, fin- 'which lie was severely pg. nkhed; he hid two dozen, the boatswain's m to nag ged him—heard the prisoner give the order ; the boy was not properly well at the time—never Si 4 him cobbed. Helped to bring him out of the coai.i o:u about seven days bef ore death—he was ter irb!,ed the niorning of his d e ath, hut does not know by wh , •st: order. Was once flogged himself by order a the prisoner. The' boy had sorer and ulcers two or three months before his death—he might have been set.; to a King's Hospital during that time, as the brig was in the. harbour of Plymouth. William dirscott, private marine, said he j-ined the brig the beginning of December. Saw John Ansel punished the following day. The ship lay under Mount Wise, and the prisoner was walkirig the quar ter deck at the time. When the boy came d wn he was asked for what he was flogged, he said for wil ting his trowsers. but he could not help it. Three or four days after he was pens'ied again, for the same cause ; both times by the boatswai,i's mate ; h.! had three dozen each time. The prismer was r:n board the last time, Mr. Houghton gave the order. The next time he was punished by three 1:1)s, the ship was then in Stonehouce Pool—he wa, floggr,d with a cat-o'nine-tails over the breech. The prisoner was on board, but cannot say whether he was pr,s.T:t. He vas shortly after again punished in the Sound, fur neglect of some pigs. The prisoner was not on board, Mr. Smith, deiag duty as s:cond nt..st , r, gave the order. lie was punished twice afterwards at sea by the prisoner's orders. He v...ts also several times-pu. nished On the breech by men and boys. Heard the prisoner very often gi'.e the. ordets lie was starred with the rope's end Atany times by the officer on deck. One morning Mr. Cawsey gave him three dozer* lashes w:th a two inch and half rope b fore the pri. ',ones was up. He was Kest over the back by the prisoner's orders, for senrthing inzprep:r had said to Mr. Caw,:ey. He was tied up in the (inn- itie to a shank-painter, and bad three I.ehes, Irein the Constant brig was passing, and 1t ordtred to be lnosened. The prisoner said, " let the dirty brat loesc, you gill frighten the people on board di it brig, ;red the brig too." He received deer dozen die met neirning on the back. The prisoner and the Docr r were walking the treater deck at the time., lle would have had more, but the D ictot cane eirward and ex. mined him, and then toil t!.e. prisoner that it he pl. niched kiln any more on the back it would iciil him. The prisoner replied, he would rather kid hen than keep such a dirty brute as that in the skip. The boy was then cast loose ; he was quite out of his mind, and would bite and tear any thing he came ~cress. fie used at that time to sing out about his mother. Nevtr saw any blood come from him till aster he re ceived. the punishments over the back. Ore day at dinner item it'drop from him quite fresh. Witness and many of the men gave him clothes and soap to wash his skin. He had very bad feet, and was not able to ' walk about to do any thing. He got so very dirty, he was ordered to be put into the coal-hole, with a bucket lashed to him, by the prisoner's order. He was put down about four o'clock, and remained there till ten the next morning, when Mr. Cawsey ordered the witness to loosen the bucket ham him. He went down and opened the hatch, which was down and meted. When he cast the bac ket from the boy, he said 4 f now, thank GOD, I shall be easy." The boy remained two days and nights in the coal-hole. Wit ness left the hatch partly op .:n to admit the air, but at night he saw it locked down again by the serjeant. When the boy was taken up he was nor able to stand. but was hauled up by the rope's end. He had so many wounds about him that his feet were mortified. The prisoner, the night before, ordered him to be taken out the next morning, and well scrubbed. He was scrubbed with a scrubbing brush, and then washed down with about a dozen buckets of water. He was then dried with the swabs, about seven o'clock in the morning. The sante morning he died. He had no clothes on except an old waistcoat and pair of stockings. When he was scrubbed he had twenty wounds about him, as broad as a breast plate, on different parts of h's body. He appear:d ' to be mortified all over his body, which was quite black half an hour . afier his death. He had wounds over his right shoulders from flogging, his biii es could be seen through. He had also wounds on his breech, and all over his hip hones, by his pu nishments, and on other parts of his body besidts. —He was on the sick list beloie his emir. generally scrubbed of a morning before the sree. o was out of bed. Was not fi igged after the surgeon interfered. He ate scarcely any thing for t n days previous to his death. Was ordered to be scrubbed AS a punishment. Witness saw the Dot e- %41111 the corpse, but not the prisoner. Did not hear him say any thing, but he shook his heal very much. TIMM DAY, AUGUST 23. _ _ John Amu, private mit ine, said he saw the hny Ansell punished very often, and frequenay scroihiled on the head. Saw one severe punislini tit, he :14.3 three dozen with the cat, tle satire as the men were punished with. The prisoner gave the order, and was walking the quarter deck the time it was ia fiicted. John Harhour, p:',vate nn trine, stated, that Anse ll c:rme on bozrd in the Downs, and seemed a clean likely boy ; vise Limn fieqiientiy punished, at first. for not attending to the pigs, and att.rwards for dirtiness, by order of the privner. At last there ssas a cob bing board made for him, and the chief part clothes thrown overboard, till be had non:• le.t hilt a check shirt and a wii.stcoat. The hey used ciiritiru ally to cry nut, when being punis l .‘ed, that they would kiti him. The prisoner told hem he would kilt or make him keep hinLelf clean.
