THE ACCIDENT AT CIIATIIAM.

(From a Morning Paper )

The convict-ship the Dolphin has been in a dan-
gerous condition for several years; and very great
blame is attached to the Navy Board for the conti-
nuance of it as a convict ship, after reports had been
made that it was " cranky," and " unseaworthy."
All the influence of office has been used—and with
partial success—to stifle inquiry ; but the Jury, con-
stituted as it was, could not deny the fact, which
was known to every person at all acquainted with
the vessel, that it had been for some time in a state
dangerous to the lives of the convicts on board.
Captain Lloyd had long ago reported its very crazy
state; but neither Sir Byam Martin, nor any of the
other Lords of the Admiralty, paid the least atten-
tion to the report. This was not the first time that
the vessel would not rise with the tide; she had
before been so deeply imbedded in the mud, as to
be raised with difficulty.

But the most shoe-king circue.stance attending
this affair is, that for nearly an hour after the water
had rustled into the lower deck, t:ie convicts there
confined, who entreated and implored that they
might be let out of the w ards, were forcibly kept in
the wards by a guard which was set over them, and,
had not the convicts overpowered the guard, and
rushed up the hatchway, great numbers would have
been drowned.
Some of the convicts whom we have seen on
board the hospital ship, stated that they saved their
lives by forcing their way up stairs, when a guard
was set to prevent their leaving the lower deck.
Many of the convicts are severely bruised in making
their way to the upper deck. When the Jury were
viewing the Dolphin, before the inquest was com-
menced, it was stated by several persons that they
would not remain in the vessel for twenty-four hours
on any account. On Sunday the vessel was raised
from its broadside by means of ropes and pulleys,
and was righted; but it was so top-heavy, that
yesterday it fell in towards the opposite side. It has
been stated that there was not sufficient ballast on
board the ship at the time of the accident. The
Coroner refused to allow several questions to be put
to the witnesses, that were intended to show that
the convicts might have all left the ship had they
not been prevented. It is also a singular circum-
stance, that not one of the convicts who were on
the lower deck when the accident occurred, wa.
called to give evidence before the Coroner's Jury.
We stated on a former day, that the Cumberland is
to be used at Chatham as a convict ship, instead of
the _Dolphin; but we were not aware at the time that
orders had been given that the Dolphin should be
removed to Sheerness to be used as a convict ship in
lieu of the Juslitia, which sunk a short tune ago.
The verdict of the Coroner's Jury will, of course,
prevent that order from being carried into effect.
