SHEERNESS, Oct. 23.—The courts-martial on Mr.
William Henry Searle, acting-master, and Mr. William
Elliott, carpenter on board her Majesty's Arctic steam-
ship Phoenix, Captain Inglefield, took place here on
Friday last.
The first called was that of Mr. William Henry Searle,
acting-master.
The charges against Mr. Searle were drunkenness,
neglect of duty, and disrespectful conduct towardd his
superior officer, Captain Inglefield then being in com-
mand of the Phoenix.
The court found that all three charges had been
proved, and they sentenced the said Mr. William Henry
Searle to be dismissed her Majesty's service.
The same president and officers were afterwards sworn
to try Mr. William Elliott, carpenter of her Majesty's
ship Phoenix, for service in the Talbot. Commander
Robert Jeakins prosecuted.
The charges were for absenting himself without leave
when at Stromness on the outward passage to the Arctic
seas, and for being larenght on board in a state of intoxi-
cation, and for having in his possession a bottle of wine,
he having stolen the same from the gun-room officers.
The first two charges were admitted by the prisoner,
but the third charge was strongly denied by him.
The sentence of tke court was, as there was nothing
' whatever to *substantiate the third charge, that the said
Mr. William Elliott should be reprimanded, and admo-
' nished to be more careful for the future.

ANOTHER RUiSIAN PRIZE.
Yesterday another prize, captured by her Majesty's
steamer Archer, attempting to break the blockade of
Riga, arrived in the river from the Baltic. She is called
the Margie, and sailed under Danish colours ; her cargo
consists of coals. She is to be taken iuto the West
India Docks to be condemned, and sold for the benefit of
the captors.

The whole of the workmen have been withdrawn from
the Liffey and Satellite, building, and placed oa the
Thetis, at Devonport, to expedite her completion, it
being necessary she should reach her destination before
the frost sets in. It will be recollected that the Thetis
is the frigate given to the Prussian Government in ex-
change for two gun-boats.
