COURT-MARTIAL AT MALTA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In July last you published a report of a Court-
martial held upon me at Malta, on board her Majesty's
ship Formidable, the decision of which was, that I was
dismissed her Majesty's service in disgrace, and rendered
incapable of ever serving her Majesty, her heirs, or suc-
cessors. However, upon my return to this country,
being strongly impressed with a sense of a wrongful con-
viction, I memorialised the Admiralty on the subject ;
the result of which was, that the Court-martial was de-
clared illegal, and the sentence consequently null and
void, and that I was to consider myself in every respect
in the same position I held prior to the trial.
As you deemed a report of this matter to be of insuffi-
cient public importance to warrant your noticing it, I
trust that, in common justice, you will insert this letter,
in order that I may be enabled to regain the position in
society I formerly
.enjoyed, but which I had irretrievably
lost by the injustice and harshness of the proceedings
and sentence.—l am, &c., HENRY CRAMER.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 4, 1845—Letters have been
received here from the squadron at Cork. Hy theta we learn
that the Admiral, whose efficiency was so much praised by tk.
Tory Lords of the Admiralty, and who was selected by them
to take the command of the squadron in preference to that
active officer Sir Charles Napier, had been confined to his bed
for twenty-five days. A worse appointment could not have
been made. Admiral Parker's temper and health rendered
him totally unfit for so trying a post. ft is to be hoped in the
next session that the matter will be fully inquired into. The

THE FISHERY.—The driving boats in the Mount
Bay have been very successful during the last three weeks,
since their return from the Irish Fishery. Many of them have
brought ashore as much as fifteen hogsheads of fine pilchards,
and the average has been about five hogsheads each. During
the past week, the total quantity secured by the Bay boats has
been about 1,000 hhds, and during the three weeks, nearly
3,000 hhds. On Saturday last the rein belonging to Messrs.
Batten and Co., shot and secured about sixteen hbds, and on
the following day the sein belonging to Messrs. Davy and Co..
brought ashore a similar quantity. The principal portion of
the fish has been placed in bulk, whilst some have been re-
tailed at Is. Bd. per hundred, and distributed in the country.
The prospects of the pilchard fishery, upon the whole, are very
encouraging, and the fishermen are in high spirits. We believe
the success they have experienced during the past week or two
has been rarely surpassed-3,000 hhds. at 50s. per hbd. wilt
realise 7,5001.—and we hope our hardy fishermen will continue
to be as successful as they deserve.—Penzance Gazette. •
THE STORY OF A ROYAL FAVOURITE.—Thei
secret about this book is at length divulged. It is a satirical
novel from beginning to end. The design of the work (says
the critic of the New Monthly) is evidently a series of por-
traits and reflections on passing manners and events, and few
can compete with Mrs. Gore in the point which she lendsru
the one, and the wit and playful justice with which she nn-
sparingly lashes the other. No one, indeed, is spared. ,
