COURT-MARTIAL ON CAPT.
NICHOLAS.
THIRD DAY.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY EVENING.—The Court assembled
at twelve o'clock. It was more than usually crowded, and
among the distinguished personages present were General Sir
Hercules and Lad; Pakenham.
After some preliminary proceedings, Captain Nicholas read
his defence. It was well drawn up, and entered minutely into
all the particulars of the accident given by the witnesses for the".""'
Crown. From the following paragraph at the commencement,
it will be seen that he has had a long and unblemished career
in the navy :—" After forty-three years' services, thirty-three
years as Captain, and after having actually commanded one of
her Majesty's ships fourteen years, some of which were during
the late war, I appear for the first time before a Court Martial.
During this long period, few events have afforded me so much '-
satisfaction, as that of having to answer Wna
ore a Court, co-
,
posed of so large a number of old and distinguished officers,Tor •
my conduct on the occasion which is the subject of the present.
inquiry."
Towards the conclusion, he adds—" I do not think it neces-
sary to trouble the Con t with many witnesses for my justifica-
tion, because the evidence for the prosecution appears to me to
have established that I did all that was necessary or proper for 4
me to do. You will, however, hear from the First Lieutenant, 4:
who, thoubh sick, came on deck when the ship got into danger,
what his opinion was of my conduct, and I shall show, by ex-
perienced pilots, that it was expedient to shift my berth on the
morning of the 26th, and that the course proved to have been
steered, and the sail set, were judicious."
He then called Lieut. Leary, First Lieutenant, and other wit-
nesses in proof of his statement.
It was doubtful whether the case would close before this day.

SLAVERY AND THE BOUNDARY

LINE.

Extract of a letter from John G. Whittier to Joseph Sturge,
dated Amesbury, United States, Ist Month 31st, 1842;—" By
the papers sent by this packet, thou wilt see that we have a
good deal of discussion in Congress, in spite of all attempts to
shut out the dreaded subject. The Creole case, mentioned in.
my last, Las caused much excitement throughout the country,
and has called forth some debate in both Houses of Congress.
The general impression in this section is, that the prisoners at
Nassau will not be given up to our Government, and that they
ought not to be. The news of the late Treaty on the Slave
Trade has tallen like a thunderbolt amidst the slavery party
they scarcely know what to say or do in reference to it. The
New York Herald, and other prints, charge the whole of the
abolition movement here to the machinations of England. I
send thee a paper, the Liberty Standard, containing some
marked articles. Also the New York Herald of last week,
containing the debate in Congress on the presentation of a peti-
tion from some persons, advising a peaceful dissolution of the
Uf ion. This was taking the blustering southerners at their word,
as they have all along threatened to dissolve the Union..
Adams stated, in presenting it, that he wished the Committee
to report against it. Thou wilt see that thy name is r,retty
freely used in the debate. Lord Morpeth was present (luring
the discussion. I feel anxious that all difficulties between
this country and Great Britain, with the exception of the
slave• trade, should be speedily settled. The land-agent in
Maine, has communicated a Report to the Legislature of that
State, in which he proposes to waive the claims of the State,
and accept in lieu of that claim another portion of the territory,
or rather the navigation of the St. John. I have not yet seem
the Report, but it evidently places the matter in a more ad-
justible form. The Reporter is not yet out; but we are in
good spirits ; never was there a time when our principles were
so powerfully moving the public mind as at the present. The
New York Liberty Convention on the 19th, numbered from
800 to 1,000 delegates. Stanton writes me that it was a glorious
meeting. Charles T. Torrey has been tried as an incendiary
in Maryland, and acquitted on the ground that he had not dim-
tributed anti-slavery publications in the State. Thou and I
narrowly escaped a ten years' sojourn in the Maryland peniten-
tiary, for distributing books, &c., in BaAimore ; 1 should
scarcely risk it again.

Sir Robert Peel, on his way to the House of Com-
mons last evening, was recognised by the crowd assembled in
Palace-yard, and was greeted with discordant yells and groans.
The Right Hon. Baronet seemed by sto means to relish his re-
ception.
