blockade service on board 61$ Majesty's ship Hyperion at New-
haven, as touching the circumstance of his having been shot at and
wounded on the 4th day of last October, In the open day, by Jobn
O'Dare, formerly a seaman en board the Hyperion. but who had
been discharged the service for misconduct. This man, it will
be recollected, was tiled at the last Lewes Assizes, on the 21st
before Mr. Baron Garrow and Mr. Baron Holland, for ma-
liciously shooting at the said Lieut. Rosenberg, with Intent to kill
and murder him ; and notwithstanding the clear and undeniable
evidence which was on that occasion produced against Mai, be was
most unaccountably acquitted, The object of the present pro-
posed enquiry is, in all probability, to give Lieut. Rosenberg an op-
portunity of clearing himself from any imputation of harshness or
oppression to which the unexpected termination of the above trial
can scarcely fail to have given ripe, in the minds of many unac-
quainted with the real circumstances of the case.
His Majesty's ship Java, 52, Captain W. F. Carroll, C.B. was
paid off on Thursday last, on which occasion Rear• Admiral Gage
came dawn from London expressly to meet the gun-room Oaken,
who had invited him to a parting dinner, at the George Hotel, to
express their sense of his kindness on all occasions, and to evince
their gratification at the cordial good feeling, and tanimity which
prevailed in the skip throughout the time they had the honour and
r pleasure of serving under his flag. All the Officers who went out
with the Admiral remained with him during the whole period of
his command, nearly font years, and there was not an individual
amongst them, or in the whole ship's company, whom hie urbanity
and kindly disposition had nut inspired with respect and attach-
ment. Such a meeting, therefore, could not fail to be highly gra-
tifying to the Officers and their late Commander. The chair was
taking by Commander Cuppage, who was supported by Com-
mander Blake, as Vice.
