We are gratified to find that the board have seriously considered the many crying evils of the present system of naval punish ments, and have made a step towards the right direction ; but it is a pity that their lordships do not throw over board their prejudices and their obstinacies, and repu diating all piecemeal or half-and-half prOpositions, at once determine on a thorough revision of the naval code and a sweeping reform of its gross abuses. ADMIRALTY, OCT. 7, 1853. The attention of my Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty having been directed to the returns of the minor punishments awarded by officers in command of her Majesty's ships, have deemed it necessary to issue the following regulations, establishing for the future a more uniform system, defining their nature and duration, which, their lordships feel confident, when administered with judgment and impartiality, will not only prove ad vantageous in maintaining the discipline of the fleet, but by checking offences will tend to promote the comfort of well-conducted men. The officer appointed to the command of one of her Majesty's ships, being invested with full authority for establishing discipline and good order, must constantly bear in mind the responsibility of the charge committed him. It will be his early and peculiar care to incul cate a constant and zealous attention on piao of the officers to their respective duties ; and as all 'persons serving under his command will look to him for mple and encouragement, he is to make himself .acquainted with their characters, that he may be enabled the more readily and impartially to confer advancement on the meritorious, or award punishment to those who are neg ligent or insubordinate. It will likewise be his duty to impress upon those de puted to carry out his orders the necessity of strictly avoiding abusive language and degrading expressions, which tend to irritate the minds of the men, and lead them to commit offences, causing complaints and subse quent punishment ; but whilst upholding the legitimate authority of all the officers under his command, he is never to fail in checking by timely reproof any tendency to abuse of power, and recommending by his own ex ample a firm but conciliatory manner of conducting their duty, by which the respect and confidence of the men will be ensured, and the officers will gain increased power to prevent and repress irregularities. As intemperance frequently leads to the commission of offences, and is the cause of serious accidents, the commanding officer will feel the necessity of checking it by every means in his power—occasionally warning the crew of its debasing effects and ulterior consequences, and urging the zealous co-operation and example of the officers under his command towards subduing this se rious evil, with the hope that a vice so derogatory to the honour and character of seamen may no longer degrade the service. Altercation with a drunken man is in all cases to be avoided ; nor is a person under the influence of liquor to be placed in a situation which may cause further excitement, and thereby lead to acts of uncon scious violence and insubordination. Hasty complaints are to be invariably discouraged. When complaints are made, my lords consider it ad visable, whenever the service and the circumstances of the case will admit, that their investigation should be deferred until the following morning, at which time they should be fully investigated on the quarter deck, the accuser and accused heard with impartiality ; both having a legitimate claim upon the captain ' s attention, and an equal right to the just exercise of his authority. Officers in command must remember that inconside rate as well as protracted punishments generally lead to discontent, defeat their intended object, and cause dis taste to the service ; that the first consideration is the prevention of crime, and that discipline depend s not on the severity either in the amount or duration of punish. ment, but on its just administration, by making it c orn . mensurate to the offence. First and second offences, when not of a grave nature, should in most cases be considered with leniency, and the previous character and conduct of the accused should always be taken into consideration. Admonition, and pointing out to the defaulter where error had been com mitted, may be the means of checking future misconduct. The minor and other punishments which are hereby authorised by their lordships are to be of the following description, which they consider, when judiciously awarded, will be sufficient to check all offences not peremptorily demanding confinement in gaol, corporal punishment, or trial by court-martial. Their duration is to be fixed when each complaint is to be investigated, and no punishment is ever to be prolonged " until fur ther orders." 1. The offender to drink his grog on the quarter-deck, and to remain standing there, or between two guns, for a limited period, but never exceeding two hours at a time, or four hours in one day, the ,number of consecu tive days net to exceed fourteen. "2. The offender to drink six water grog on the quarter-deck, and to remain standing there, or be tween two guns, for the above daily periods ' • and in more aggravated cases of misconduct, with depriva tion of smoking, or to perform extra duty, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., such as picking oakum, &c., clean ing the head, pump-well, stoning the galley, or per forming other similar work, as may be required ; stationi ng at lee sheets and wheel ; care being taken to limit the periods of the punishments according ) the degree o ® the offence, but never to exceed in 01 121 days. . 5 t ,,,„ but not in,ge of leave to go on shore for breaking leave, without dec reed three months of harbour time, with or from pay for time of absence, as authorised b unio n ci?tiler 121. 4. Stopp age for drunkenness only; or deduc n from p a y f o or gro g, nei t e r:lstin g drunkenness, as authorised by circular 70, per o n f on thes e punishments to exceed 30 days ; but if any an habitual drunkard, his grog may be entirely a .. ppe l s d, for which payment is to be made. 5. Persons of careless and inattentive habits, with re ference to their hammock or b ag, e a made to carry n hour on the them on the shoulder, but not to exceed same day, and limited to three day s . eu 6. Stoppage of monthly allowance m o ney, as autho rised in art. 13 , page 190, of the Admiralty instructions 7. Forfeiture of any indulgence granted to the rest of the ship's company. 8. Deprivation of the good-conduct badge, as autho rised by the circular 46, to be most strictly enforced. 9. Disrating petty officers, as authorised in art. 4, page 94, of the Admiralty instructions ; and leadin g seamen, as authorised in circular No. 121. Petty officers should only be subject to the mminor punishments, stated in Nos. 3,7, 8, and 9 ; if admonition will not avail with persons so rated, they are unfit for the situations they hold. They should be granted every reasonable indulgence, and treated with consideration. Being placed in situations of trust, they should be made to feel that confidence is placed in them. 10. Extra drills for neglect or inattention at drills nly, but never to exceed two hours in one day. Fatra Although the officer in command of a ship is held responsible for all punishments inflicted on board, as directed in their lordships' circular letter of the 26th May, 1848, he is not debarred from delegating to the officer next in command the power of awarding the minor punishments mentioned in articles 1,2, 3, and 4, for a period not exceeding seven days, or in article 5 for a period of three days, which punishments are to be re • corded in the defaulters' book, and to be submitted at least once a week for the captain's approval and initials ; but the infliction of all minor punishments by other officers is strictly forbidden. The captain of her Majesty's ships will direct the lieutenants to take special charge of the men belonging to their divisions, as ordered by article 17, sec. 1, chap. 5 of the Admiralty Instructions ; it is their duty to make themselves acquainted with their characters and conduct, to aid them as may be required in their duties, and to give them such advice as may be for their advantage. This duty, when carried out in that spirit which its im portance deserves, must exert a beneficial influence on the conduct of the men, and prove advantageous to their future welfare. Lord Campbell summed up, telling the jury that they had to decide whether the defendant had reasonable ground to believe that the plaintiff had been concx:rned in a theft of goods from his shop by Scrivener. Upon an indictment for felony the prisoners were entitled to the benefit of any doubt the jury might entertain, but in a case like this they must find the verdict according to the evidence actually laid before them. There w:Ls cer tainly evidence to show that Scrivener had taken goods from the defendant, but they must say whether they believed it, and if so, what inference they drew frvm it. The jury retired, and on their return into count deli vered a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 40/. --- COURT OF EXCHEQUER—DEC. 12. (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall.—Before the Chief Baron and Common Juries.) This was the first day of the sittings after Michaelmas Term in London. There were 122 causes entered, many of which, however, were undefended, and in the course of the day seventeen were withdrawn. James Brett, a detective officer of the City force, said —Since the robbery I have been engaged with Huggett and Sergeant Richards in making inquiries respecting it, and on Saturday night last, about half-past 11 o'clock, we saw Marshall pass us in Union-street, Borough road. I did not at first recognise him, because he hail shaven off his whiskers, but ultimately I took him into custody. When I told him the charge, he said, "Very well, if that's all, I'll go. I don't care about that." At the station, when asked for his name and address, he said, "If you want to know if I was at Leighton Buz zard on the night of the burglary, I'll tell you." I told him I should ask him no questions, but he replied, " I will tell you. I was there ; but if there had been fifty burglaries committed, that's no reason why I should have done them." I found upon him a French purse, containing 1/. 17s. 7d., and a paper of carmine. We then went to No. 20, Tiverton-street, Newington-cause way, and having opened the door with a string, we entered, and found Parker in bed. I told him the charge, and he said, with an oath, that he never was at Leighton Buzzard in his life. I took him to the station, and then we went to 36, Little Surrey-street, in the Borough-road, where we found Saunders, also in bed. When informed of the charge. he said, "I am innocent of it—l was not at Leighton Buzzard." Sergeant Richards searched the premises of Saunders, whom he had known for many years by the name of M'Guire. In a drawer in the back kitchen was a par cel tied up in leather, containing from 40 to 50 skeleton latch and door keys of every size and shape, to fit al most any street door lock in existence. Witness also found a small crowbar, called a "jemmy," and an old file. They were arranged in a canvas bag so as to keep the different sizes and patterns separate and in order. Witness showed them to Saunders, and asked him to whom they belonged ? He said, " It's no use denying it, they are mine." The skeleton keys were produced by witness, who stated they were the most complete set of housebreaking implements, he believed, that had ever fallen into the hands of the police. Marshall gave his address as 9, Granby-street, Waterloo-road, but witness found that he did not live there. Had never known Saunders to do any kind of work in his life ; but had known him for years as the associate of thieves and other bad characters. COLCHESTER, Dec. 9—The John and Edward, of Aberystwith, was brought into the Colne to-day by three smacks, having been on the Sunk, and threw part of cargo overboard, but with little or no damage. BRUNSHAUSEN, Dec. I—The steamers Cumberland Gut enburg 1, Guttenberg 2, Superb and Pilot, passed this to day with sailing vessel to tow, and proceeded down the river. The Patriot (5.,) with an English barque in tow has passed upwards. BELFAST, Doc. 9.—The Patriot, of Montrose, from Riga, drifted on a sunken rock, Dec. 5, during a dead calm, in the entrace of the Sound of Jura, beat heavily, and sus tained considoraole damage, but floated off again, making ten inches water per hour. CALAIS, Dec. 11.—The Sir James Ross, Newcastle to Constantinople, was stranded three miles east of this port yesterday—must discharge—is expected off. NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—The Courier (British ship) N.S. Orleans to Liverpool, with cotton, struck on Florida Reef Nov. 5 ; after being on five days was assisted off by wreckers. The Sylph (British schooner), Quebec to Liver pool, N.S. was wrecked off the west coast of Anticosti about Oct. 26, crew drowned. The Coquette, from Cadiz, which arrived at St. John's, Newfoundland, Oct 20, bound to Boston, put in in distress, with part of cargo thrown overboard, discharged and repaired. Nov. 29.—The Orestes (British brig) got on a reef off Egg harbour Nov. 24, and sank in deep water, crew saved. The Concordia, from Calcutta, arrived at Boston Nov. 28, had struck on George's Shoal during thick weather when her rudder was unhung. Their lordships hope, by holding out every reasonable encouragement to the zealous and deserving, and by a judicious and temperate application of the foregoing minor punishments, the discipline of her Majesty's ships will be upheld, and the necessity of having recourse to more severe measures may be of rare occurence. To this end their lordships rely upon the zealous co-opera tion and exertions of the officers of their fleet ; and they feel assured that by their personal example in the dis charge of their duties confided to them, and by attention to the health, comfort, and improvement of the men, a spirit of cheerfulness and contentment will be promoted throughout her Majesty's service. The several commanders in chief will take measures to inquire into the state of discipline of the ships under their command, and see that their lordships' orders have been strictly adhered to ; and will regulate a proper sys tem of leave of absence, that the crews of all the ships on their respective stations may enjoy an equal amount of indulgence. SARAH CHURCH V. SIDNEY SMITH. -CURIOUS LASE. Mr. Duncan and Mr. Dearsley appeared for the plain tiff, and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Huddlestone for the defendant. The plaintiff was said to be a widow and the defen dant was an attorney. This was an action under the in terpleader act to try whether certain goods, which had been seized by the defendant in an action against a per son called Milton, were the property of the plaintiff or of Milton. The learned counsel for the plaintiff said that his client had been deserted by her husband for the last fourteen years, and she had not seen or heard of him for the last twelve years. He mentioned this fact, because he thought the defendant might rely on a point of law, and raise the question that the goods were not the pro perty of the plaintiff, but of her husband. Ho appre hended, however, that if the plaintiff had not heard of her husband for twelve years the law would allow her to sue as a femme sole in her own right. The Chief Baron—l don't think that point can arise here. Mr. Sefjeant Wilkins said the question was, whether the goods were the property Of the plaintiff, and it was of the utmost importance therefore whether sh.e knew that her husband was alive. To save his lordship and the jury any further trouble in the matter, he would at once state that Mr. Church was waiting in the lobby to be examined, and was not dead at all. (Much laughter.) He might add, moreover, that the plaintiff had seen her husband within 'the last six weeks. The Chief Baron—Then the plaintiff is out of court. You had better call in the husband and wife, and let them be confronted. The ushers havinc , called out the names of the parties, Mr. Church (an elderly, grey-headed man) made his ap pearance, and at once ascended the witness box. - Mr. Serjeant Wilkins (to. Mr. Duncan)—There is your long lost husband. (Laughter.) Mr. Duncan (to Mrs. Church, who had by this time also entered the court)—Look at that gentlemen, and say whether he is your husband or not ? Mrs. Church, after a quiet sidelong glance, answered "Yes," to the astonishment of her learned counsel. The Chief Baron—Gentlemen of the jury, the plaintiff has lost her suit and found her husband. (Laughter.) But for his appearance I should, on proof of the opening statement of the learned counsel, have directed you to presume that the husband was dead. The plaintiff was then nonsuited. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE PARRY. This was the last examination meeting in the case of Robert Gorton Parry, bookseller and publisher, of Lea denhall-street. The accounts extend from the Ist April, 1851, to the Bth September last. They are very oomph cated, owing► to a former partnership in which the bank rupt was engaged. He now owes, to unsecured creditors, 5981. ; to creditors of Parry and Surtees, 9511. ; to A. K. Newman, 5,3641. In explanation of this item, there appears a statement by the bankrupt to the following effect :—that on the 23rd August, 1846, he purchased Mr. Newman's business, stock in -trade, fixtures, and book debts, for 12,3511. paying in cash 4,8511., and giving a bill for 5001. and a bond for 7,0001. ; that in October, 1846, he discovered that the stock had been overcharged to the extent of about 4,0001. and an abate ment of 2,792/. was made. He had since paid 7141., reducing the debt, with interest, to 4,416/. He had also entered into a bond to pay Mr. Newman an an nuity of 1601. for the goodwill of the business ; but dis covering a further overcharge, he had commenced pro ceeding in Chancery, and an arrangement was come to by which he gave six 1001. bills in lieu of the annuity bond. The amount due to secured creditors was 2281. (the property held as security being estimated at 2601; liabilities, 2,8161. The profits had been 2,2601. ; capital of Surtees (the former partner) 3,000/. ; surplus, 1681. The creditor side contained the following items :—By property surrendered, 7391. ; ditto held, 2601. ; good debtors, 4221. ; ditto ofParry and Surtees, 2491.; losses of Parry and Surtees, 3,876/. ; drawn out by Surtees, 4561.; paid him since the dissolution, 1731. ; losses, 1,9901. ; by A. K. Newman, amount of debt revived by reason of non-compliance with the terms of a deed executed in July, 1850, 1,533/. ; trade expenses, 1,699/. ; and per sonal expenses, 7041. Mr. Lawrance asked for an adjournment, stating that, owing to the recent period at which the accounts had been filed, the official assignee had not had time to examine them. Adjourned accordingly. Joseph Haggett searched Parker and Saunders, but found nothing relating to the robbery upon them. In the house in Little Surrey-street, however, on making a further search, witness found a small iron vice, such as was used by housebreakers in preparing and altering their own keys ; also several pieces of files, a patent key, an iron skewer made into a picklock, and two moulds which had the impression of keys upon them, and were such as burglars use for the purpose of obtain ing the shape and size of any keys they might wish to imitate. Thomas Harvey, a cab-driver, was taken off the stand at Maida-hill about 10 o'clock on the morning of the 26th ult. by the three prisoners. They had a bundle and a small rush basket. Witness drove them to the Three Stags, in the Bennington-road, where he had a glass of ale with one of them, while the others went home to get the money. They returned in about ten or twelve minutes, and paid witness 3s. 6d. Before they took witness's cab he saw them get out of a fly. It was not a London fly. It remained within about 100 yards of witness for about a quarter of an hour, and while it was waiting witness saw one of the prisoners leave and re turn in about a quarter of an hour. Mr. Fish, a pawnbroker, at 14, St. Alban's-place, Edgware-road, produced a gold Albert chain pledged on the morning of the 26th for 1/. by Saunders. The cab stand at Maida-hill was about six minutes' walk from witness's house, and a person might walk there and back easily in a quarter of an hour. Taking in a pledge of this description would only occupy about five minutes. Mr. Matthews identified the chain as having been stolen from his shop. Mr. Fish said it was pledged in the name of William Davis, 7, Earl-street. Brett stated that no person of that name lived there. Sir R. W. Carden remanded the prisoners. Alderman Humphrey acknowledged the receipt of 211. from the Drapers' Company, being double the amount of their usual annual contribution to the poor fund of this court. Sir R. W. Carden acknowledged the usual donation of 201. from the Goldsmiths' Company for the same fund. The same donation was also made to the other offices. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

I was attended by the most eminent surgeons here, but obtained no relief; and was iuduced to go into our county hospital.

In connection with the subject of punishments on board her Majesty's ships, my lords have to call the at tention of officers in command to the characters given by them to seamen on their parchment certificates. It has come to their lordships' knowledge that, in some instances, for a minor fault inadvertently committed, after a long period of good conduct, the character awarded has been of such a nature as to deprive the seamen of re-entry into her Majesty's service, thereby inflicting a severe and permanent punishment for some casual and minor offence. Officers should reflect that the character of a seaman on his certificate is his passport through life ; by it he gains promotion or employment, and by it his future pension is affected. It should, therefore, be maturely considered, and decided with strict justice to the indi vidual and to the service. To this end the captain, in filling up the certificate of character, is to take to his assistance the officer next•in command to himself, the lieutenant of the division to which the man belongs, and such other persons as he may see fit. This should be done on the ship's passage to England, or, in the case of vessels on the home station before being paid off. And when once the character has been fairly awarded and written on the certificate, it is not, under any circum stances, to be altered, nor interlineations or erasures made therein ; but any subsequent misconduct is to be punished according to the custom of the service, and not by an alteration in the certificate. The word t` fair," which my lords consider to mean a passable, and not an objectionable man, and which was not originally intended to imply an indifferent character, having been too often considered by officers in that sense, and eligible seamen having thereby been refused re admittance into the service, their lordships desire, when seamen present themselves for entry with characters in their last ships marked "fair," that inquiry be made into their characters in former ships, and if not unsatis factory, and they are otherwise desirable men for the service, that the said men be received, to give them an opportunity of re-establishing their "good" character. The following scale of characters of men is to be adopted in future with any additional notice of very de serving men :- 1. Very good. 2. Good. 3. Fair or Passable. 4. Indifferent. 5. Bad. By command of their Lordships, R. o 13ORNE. To all commanders in chief, captains, com manders, and commanding officers of her Majesty's ships and vessels. THE ARMY. CHATHAM, DEC. 12. The commandant of Chatham garrison, Colonel M. commandant Beresford, having p rocured leave of absence from the t garrison, Colonel Joh n Montresor Pilc her , cem of the Royal Marines, will conduct the duties of Cha tham garrison during the period of Colonel Beresford's absence. The under-named officers at Chatham garrison h ave obtained leave of absence :-56th Regiment, E ns i gn, Campbell, to 31st March, 1854 ; 70th Regiment, E n . sign Borkhouse, to 23d January, and Paymaster Leech, Invalid Depot, to 2d January ; Lieutenant St. John, 60th Rifles, and Ensign Hill, 56th, to the 30th Dec. CLONMEL.—We learn with much regret that the gal- lant " Ninth," now so long stationed in our garrison, are to leave on Wednesday next to be replaced by a depot of the 13th. Clonmel so long a garrison town, is to be henceforth but a resting•place for a few soldiers, or for a regiment on its march to a more favoured lo cality. When the artillery was withdrawn we foresaw the infantry would soon follow. The recruiting party of the 87th, some time stationed at Clonmel, has been removed to Thurles. . MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.—We regret to state that Lieutenant Wright, 3d Dragoon Guards, quartered at Ballinrobe, county Galway, met with a serious acci dent on Monday last, the sth instant. As he was in cautiously loading his fowling-piece, one of the barrels being loaded, and at full cock, the gun went off, and shot off the fore and little fingers of his right hand. The other fingers were much injured, and his thumb has been m i s pl ace d. P rov id en ti a lly h e had turned aside his h ea d to spea k to a person w h o was near hi m , or h e would hav o e f been killed on the spot. It is, however, gratifyi ng s to add, that this young gentleman is pro si9g as f avoura bl y as can b o expec t e d, w ith ou t th e necessity amputation. VALUE OF A STEAMER.—The American steamship Sir John Harvey was offered for sale by Mr. Mort, at Sydney, on the 16th ult. 17,000/. were bid and refused. It was intimated that the owner would lay her on for the Melbourne trade. 22,000/. was understood to be the reserve price. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Dec. 12. The December general session commenced this morn ing at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, before Mr. Ser jeant Adams, assistant judge, and a full bench of magis trates. There were fifty-two prisoners for trial, all, except two, charged with felony Charles William s , conv ictedllast session of picking a lady's pocket at the Eastern Counties t Railway Terminus, was brought up for judgment. was shown that he was an old offender, and had been repeatedlyprison.off The Assistant Judge remarked tat these offences were now getting so numerous that the court was bound to punish them with severity. He sentenced the u p • soner to four years' penal servitude, and added that pri soner future the sentence would be increased to six years for u such offences. William Mason, 12, pleaded guilty to having stolen 196 parts of printed books, value 21., the property of John Tanis, his master. The prosecutor in this case was the publisher of St. John-street, Smithfield, and the prisoner was in the employ of the firm as an errand boy. It appeared that he was in the habit of carrying off parts of books from his master's shop, and offering them for sale as waste paper to tradesmen in the neighbourhood ; one of them suspecting his honesty, gave information to Mr. Tallis, in consequence of which the boy was given into custody. The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to six months' im prisonment, with hard labour. William lliartiann, 22, a sailor, was convicted upon VESSELS SPOKEN WITH.

BRITISH OFFICERS IN TURKEY.—The following offi cers have quitted England for Constantinople, intending to proceed thence to the Danube, to be spectators, at least, of the operations carrying on by the rival armies of Russia and Turkey :--Colonel Robert Cannon, K.C., of Charles 111., and of the Ist and 2d classes of St. Ferdinand ; Major Forbes, 4th Regiment of Madras Light Cavalry ; Captain Lake, Madras Engineers ; Captain Rigby, Bombay Infantry ; Captain Balfour Ogilvy, Half-pay Madras Army ; Lieutenant Green, of the Bombay Army, late Commanding Scinde Ir regular Horse; Lieutenant Anderson, Bombay Artillery; Captain Twopenny, of her Majesty's service ; and Lieutenant Erlam, late of the Austrian Cavalry. These officers will be followed by Lieutenant-Colonel Kent Murray. Lieutenant-Colonel Beatson, of the Bengal army, has already joined Omer Paella's army. These gentlemen proceed to Turkey with introductions from Lord Clarendon and the Turkish embassy, but with no decided expectations of employment. Should the course of events, however, compel England to take an active part in the contest, they will, we dare say, gladly render service to the Sultan. Meanwhile they are merely to be regarded as visitors to the camp.— Unit eel Service Gazette.
