I ordered those who wen determined to edam to obey ceders
to stand on the starboard side of the der, and they who
were inclined to do am they were ordered to stand a little
farther aft. The men present walked on the starboard aide,
sad shoat the same number walked aft signifying that they
IMO prepared to obey orders, sod they at once proceeded to
wish decks. The def, ads's. west forward and knocked off
work. As soon as possible I reported the affair to Copt=
Hannon. The defendants have signed the chip's ardente
I pat In the offkial log-book, la which are entered the names
of the ono, and the complaint reads against them. When I
reported it to Captain Hanle= he ordered me to muster
those who had refused duty on deck. I did so, and Captain
Hamlets 'eked theta why they refused to obey orders.
Bra= wee the spokesman on this occrion; be answered In
pretty math the same terms as before—that they did tot see
the necessity of washing decks on Sunday and that they
would not do it. They then went below, sad have sot bra
on duty since. It id weal to wash decks on Sunday morn-
begeothether at am or in harbour, in any =eel.
Cross-rmaini d —The Great Beam has not her full mew
on band. There were about 6J able-bodied seamen on board,
Including the prisoner* The work imposed ups. them was
not more than sufficient for them to do. They wee quite
sal•eient to do all that le regahed as the lay in Portland-
roads. There have bees • peat surer of visitors on board,
which very poesibly made the decks mare ditty than real.
The men on board kept a weer et tworeen, which is dere

obeyed ham.
Ile Those who minsined we. not enough to
wash decks, bet they swept the decks. AU those meet had
only two here =tole from ale eke preview evening. I con.
alder they hen had esey duty ethos they lift the river.
Captain Heirless wee this =led. He and—Os Sunday
, la serserenat of what I heard, I ordered the men
who refer te he innetered, and went on deck. I asked
them why they had refined to obey orders. Brodie am
✓ayed that they did not camas weal= doh on Sunday
seminary work. I told them I did not think they were the
right part= to judge what wee necessary; I considered it to
be so, and requested them to do it. Brodie mode some re-
marks about boring a soul to be saved, and I odd I wanted
the decks wished; and if they did not chomp.) to turn to,
they might go turned, which they did.
Crosmermined—Brodie toei the words "I" and "we,"
speaking for himself and the nat.
Mr. Hill, for the defendant., said he could not deny that
the defendants hod disobeyed orders, but it had teen clearly
shown that it was the first offence of that nature ttoy had
committed. He wee of opinion that the charge of com-
binatios agar= Johnson and Brodie could not be sustained,
r there was co act In evidnos to prove that each was the
ease. In answer to the charge of dirobidienos, he might
Mete that if the act of parliament bat bees oomplie I with,
by the agreement being posted up, se well an made accessible,
In ell probability they would not have refused to obey orders.
They were clearly under the apprehension that washing down
the decks on Sunday did not come within the tepee-eon=
of the articles. Under these circumstances he hoped the
=Odra= would be pleased to look upon this affair leniently.
Captain Harrison, in reply to Mr. Hill, said he did not
Intend to employ any one of the mea again. After the way
in which they had behaved he should certainly decline
doing so.

--Captain Manning, addressing Johnson, said that the ma-
&testes had taken his on.. into their meat aeries, awarders-
Oen. From the evidence It appeared that be had been in
some measure the ringleader is thin unfortunate matter, and
bad thee led the other men into the dilemma is which they
were pissed. The asatence tapas him was that he should be
harden:led for • month, with hard labour, and that two days'
pay should be forfeited if there were any wages due to him.
Brodie had also figured conspicuously in this matter, but not
'la so bad a degree as Johnson. Ile would therefore be ins-
-0:6, with hard labour, Lr three weeks, and also to
It.tiwo days' pey. The remainder would be Imprisoned,
with hard labour, for a fortnight, and be subjeot to a slander
forfeiture of wages.
They were afterwards taken In custody to the county gaol
at Dorchester.

THE FOREIGN COZZILSPONDENCE AT THE STATE
PAPZ/L•OFFICI.—Mr John Bondlly is reported to have
named Mr. W. B. Turnbull, editor of Father Southwelfe
" Poems," oelaadarer of the foreign corresponimme at the
State Paper-office. That this rumour is incorrect we venters
to emoted* from the very nature M the facts. If anybody
mad the crown bad appouted Cardinal WIMMISS to write the
Macey of oar English church, or charged Dr. Callen to pro-
nounce a final do Habit on the Irish Board of Education and
its *yawn of secular instruction. we should to justified in ex-
pectation some doubt. Neither of these would be more singular
than the appointment of Mr. Turnbull to calendar the
foreign carresFoadenoe f the sktreath sad seventeenth cen-
turies. These papers contain the history of religion in Eng-
land; Mr. Titration isnot rely a rapist tut a pervert. Tiny
record the of the great etclesimatical strife between
England sad me ; Mr. Turnbull bolero, that In all that
Martel Maenad wan In the wrong. They destribe the wars
of the Armed., the war of Indepeudeem In Htlland, the
thirty year.' war; in all which evt nos Mr. Turnbull be-
lieves the &Mica of this country to have been deplorable, un-
dutiful, and MM. They abound in penieulars of
those smithies and Mascots of the Jesuits which
made them formidable to the peace of the family
and that ef the state; Mr. Tomball holds the Order
of Jam, to quote his owl words,"lse the highest
honour, veneration and esteem." They preserve fur us
multifarious iefortaation rely ire to those priestly plots
which the government of Elizabeth crushed with a strong
hand; Mr. Turnbull thinks the Queen, oceneil, parliament
and people of England barborose and meHgnant in the me
they made of this prebervetive power. They contain many
allusions to the niireekeireyeturse by which the Roman
priests presorted their ascendancy over ignorant and fano-
tiaal Wads; Mr. Turnbull unifessee a devout convictioa
that desperate mad deadly diseases" were really cured by
touching with a martyes reel qua. Mr. Turnbull has him-
self declared his views on all them points is his memoirs of
Father Southwell. We only know of theta from this me-
moir. Apart from this fanaticism, Mr. Turnbull may be
en satiable man and a learned man. But with these opinions
before us in block and white, we ark—is it misfit& to believe
that Sir Joke Rosally cm have seriously thought of setting
a gentleman Ittihad with this violent antipathy to the
coarse of English history and to the cherished coavietions of
his countrymen, tooompose the state pipers for them into a
Minims history of England P—setliertausa.
