INSUBORDINATION ON BOARD OF TIER
MAJESTY'S SHIP MARLBOROUGH.

Tier Majesty's ship Marlborough, flag-ship to Admiral
Fenshawe, , has been the scene of acts of insubordination.

The correspondent )of the herald at Malta says, the
crew refused to come on deck, when called, rolled shot
about the deck and engine-room, and committed other
acts of insubordination.
The men had had leave to go on shore, and when
asked what they had to complain of, they could only
make some trifling grievances out of the breakfast-hour
being too early, or some such trivial complaint.
After some hours suspense the whole ship's company
returned to their duty, six of the ringleaders were put
in irons and will be tried by court martial.

Mr. Dimsdale, who opposes the return of the Hon.
W. Cooper at Hertford, had the show of hands in his
favour yesterday.

otherwise than they did last year. They had grown a
year older, and he thought they might be wiser. They
came forward there, and they but expressed the opinions
of the gentlemen of the grand jury, who were men of
rank an of intelligence. He quoted from a blue-book
the evidence of Robertson Gladstone on this subject,
before the House of Commons. This gentleman said
that they should not be put to the expenses of erecting
a new gaol if it was not for the licensed public-
houses and beer-houses ; they were the source of all the
mischief. If that gentleman exercised his influence as
a magistrate, and acted up to his expressed opinion,
he might do- them some good. (Hear, hear.)
Judge Wightman stated lately that four-fifths of the
crime in the calendar were from drunkenness. The
publican, he contended, according to that, was nothing
less than the purveyor to the hangman. He concluded
by moving the following resolution :
" That this meeting is of opinion that crime, disease,
aid pauperism, decrease and increase in proportion to
the number of public-houses, and therefore view with
alarm the number of applications for licenses announced Henry Sturemburg and William Goldenstadt,
for the next session." brokers, Liverpool.
Mr. W. BROWN seconded the resolution. In speak- Asher Weinthal, warehouseman, Cannon-street.

The Rev. Mr. STEINTHAL7 being called upon to speak,
tion. resolution resolution was then put and carried with acclama-
said he had to address them on the subject of the law, it FIXTURES,
because there was a misconception in the minds of the AUGUST.
magistrates on the subject of licensing. They had found, Barnsley
from the experience of last year, that the magistrates Radcliffe
needed to be enlightened on this subject. He wished Egham 23 Lichfield
Barnstaple & North Devon 24 Yarmouth
to speak with all due respect of the magistrates. The Oxford
law was sometimes interpreted in the spirit and some- Canterbury
times in the letter. The latter was what the magistrates
seemed inclined to do. They, like himself, had not
received a legal education, and he, like them, interpreted
the law in that plain common sense which every Eng-
lishman had a right to use. He quoted the 9th clause of
the act of Geo. IV., and said he was backed by lawyers in
stating that they were wrong in refusing them a hearing,
and not allowing them to protest. The very gentleman who
opposed them last year was a member off' the grand jury,
and allowed the document to go forth which had been
referred to that night, and this presentment charged the
publicans with being parties to acts of violence which
led to homicide. He referred to the report of the
police establishment of the state of crime for 1858,
which showed that there were no less than 9,829
persons who were brought up before the magistrates for
being drunk and disorderly. They spoke but the
words of the judge of the land, the grand juries, and
the chaplains of every jail, and he contended that they
had a right to be heard by the magistrates on this
subject, and that it was the duty of the magistrates to
listen to their appeal. The public-houses doing busi-
ness in 1858 were 1,494, and the beer-houses amounted
to 899 ; and he asked any person of common sense, if
there were not enough to supply the wants of the com-
munity. He then referred to the good effects which had
been produced in Scotland by the working of the
Forbes Mackenzie Act, and stated that the
£12,000 which had been granted for the erection
of a new jail, immediately before the passing
that act, kad never been required. He then referred to
number of drunken cases. Ile concluded by moving,—
