of slaty children in the girls' school at the,. moment suffering
Item eruptions and cutaneous diseases. Their education
was most lamentably neglected, and their entire treatment
was meet detrimental to their future prospects. (Hear,

Workhouse was a pifect bear-garters, and those parties
alluded to by Mr. Douglas were able•bodied and idle paupers,
who were allowed to ran riot all over the place, and
which the new board bad turned out to tat their own

of bad morals and h,4 character, and in carrying_ oat their,

COURT-MARTIALS IN PRIVATE. Sir,—Being
accidentaLy at Portsmouth on the 6th, and having an hour
to spare, I was desirous of being present at a court-martial,
then sitting on board her Majesty's ship Victory. I was not,
however, permitted to gratify my desire, for on going along •
side the ship I was toll by a person otationed at the entrance
port that the captain had forbidden the admission of
strangers during the sitting of the court. Having no wi,h
M enter into an altercation with the officer in command, the
only alternative was to submit to this quarter-deck law, and
solicit your assistance in subsequently exposing it. It is
wail known on shore that courts martial are courts of re.
Ned, and, c'nsequently, open courts. Constituted as %began
they might of all other tribunals to be most under the vigi-
Yu eye of toe public. West right, therefore, had the
essssa of the Victory to order that, because a courtcsertial
was sitting on board, no stranger should be admitted ? or, in
other words, that stranger, should be excluded from the
sout ? It appears to be an abuse of power that ought to
be checked. I am willing to believe that the president of the
wart was ignorant of the order in quakes having been
