Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the grosser nature from abase impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may Dave entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless
instances which, while they excite the 'commiseration of the be-
holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxuribus habits will effeminize the body--a residence In the

On the opening of the Court yesterday morning, the.
Commission was read, and it wia announced that Mr.,
Twopenny, solicitor, of Rochester, was appointed by{
the Court to be Judge. Advocate. After which the
regular oaths were daily administered, and the list of
witnesses was :ailed over previous to commencing the
important business for which the Court had been con-
vened. At the desire of the President, a messenger
was dispatched forthwith to the Chatham dock-yard,
to require the attendance of an additional number of
witnesses, who were there to be met with.
The busbies, of the day then commenced, by the examination of
witnesses. at about ten eclock in the foreeoon.
The first *Jute's called was Mr. .1. Jenny Toomey: he deposed
that be was at. oNcer belonging a the Victualling Department.
The Court was then cleared fol. i consultation, and on the re-
opening of the Court, Mr. Timmy was informed that be was not at
peesent wanted. The President intern* the prisoner that it was
the Intention of the Court to proceed with the first charge.
Captain Moorsoin was theta sworn, and deposed as
follows: I had reason to suppose that a mittent or
settlement hid been made with certain men of the An.
droniache, on behalf of their respective messes; and
consequently, early in July last, I sent for the accused
on the quarter-deck, and desired to know what had
become of the vouchers for the payment of the savings
of the ship's company, up to the 7th January last, the
day when the old scheme of .victualling. was closed?
He replied, that he had Made no vouchers for certain
payments made to the Officers' messes, and that be had
paid the ship's company id band; I then called
Serjeant Butler, who stated to me that he had received
money from the purser's steward,.- in payment for
savings; the pursers steward was on deck, and on my
inquiring of him who authorised such a payment? he
said his master, avid he produced a receipt, signed by
certain of the men, acknowledging this payment, which
receipt I new hold in my hand ; it is made out in form
of a voucher, and purports to be for savings made by
certain of the messes between the Ist of November andl
7th of January. The sterling value of these quantitiesl
and species of• provision is noted in one column, and
the relative value in Cape currency in another column ;
this currency value is at an assumed rate of exchange,
of 100 per cent. the via dollar is it paper exchange, and
very much depreciated; it falls short, therefore, of the
sterling value, because the rate of exchange was 180
per cent. or thereabouts, during that period, while we
were at the Cape. In the latter case, Use rix dollar was
worth ls. sd. or thereabouts, and in the former case it
appears to hate been paid as worth 2s. the men in my
presence attested their signatures.
By the Passimare—Have you any document to prove what the
exchange was at that time ? I have no document, but Icm swear
that in the month of January, er rather between the dates included
in the frit charge, I myself received at the rare of fourteen ritt
dollars to the pound sterling, for a bill of ,161 odd, drawn on Com-
missioners of the Navy.
By the Count: What did the via-dollar pass for at
'that time on shore ? About Is. Sd. the par-dollar is 4s.
but by the premium it is reduced.
Cross-examined by the prisoner : What were private
bills worth, in allusion to the exchange, between the pe-
riods of the Ifth January and 20th of February ? tdo
not know ; but in March I received at the rate of font.
teen rix.dollars to the pound sterling for my private
bill of £lOO4 there was very little fluctuation during
the time that I was at the Cape.— What was the differ-
ence of time between the 20th of February and the
drawing of •this private bill in March ? I do not re•
member the exact date of the bill.

What do you consider the par of exchange at the
Cape of Good Hope, or how many rix dollars to the,
pound sterling ?—The par value of the rix dollar is 4s.
or five tin-dollars to the pound sterling.
As you hare stated that you got for your public bill
14 rim dollars for a pound sterling►, and the par value of
,the dollar to be 41. has any seaman complained to you of
me, or of my steward, in having paid them too little for
the savings up to the 7th January ?—I believe I have
already answered that question. It is not at aU likely
that the men were op to that calculation ; it *us my
business, as their CUptain, to see that they received
their dies. _

The OLlitT to Captain Moorsons t Are all sums, for
the payment of short allowance, drawn for by public
bills on the Victualling Board ?--Yes ; at those places
where that is no agent victualler, these bills are drawn
by the purser.

. .
Cross-examination continued : Did I not render your
own account; settled up to the 7th January, the old
system of victualling, leaving that, with the money due
on that account?--I'o the best of my recollection, this
account was sent in to me with the ptirs:r's compli-
meats; I do riot felMember the date when; I hold in
niy hand the paper in question, in which the rix dollar
wears to 'Live been paid to me at the sterling value
at eightetiptnce ;
about that accoe4 is up to. the 7th

Captain Moorsonr was then directed to withdraw, and
the next witness, Henry Mac Intyrer the prisoner's
steward, was called in and sworn. This witness was in
custoiy as a deserter from the Hasty.,
Henry Mac Intyre examined.—(Oa the releiptniandy alluded
to bring ibewn to him)—That is my hand-wriGisig. •
sly the Couiir : Do you kiiow that tjto,nien were paid
their savings agreeably to that paper ? They were ;
by the order prisoner.—Du you remember the
day it, was act id ? 'I do not remember the enact
day, but it wi:s; ti big if my recollection, abort
the 23d or 25th of Januaty.;. Ifid you see the men sign
the receipt? •I did.—Were the men aware at what rate
per rix dollar they weft Aceiving their sayings ? I am
not certain that they were aware.—Did you know? Yes.
At what rate? Ten six dollars per pi and sterling.—Did
they seem r'tis&ed with the amount they received at
that rate ? They seemed vet feetly satit.fied..-Do you
remember avyhat me the rix dollar wAs current on
shoit at that time? About • laurteen • rit dollars per
und sterling.—For public or private bills ? Ptabiic
you know what the rate was for priirate bills ?
I cannot tell exactly.—D3 you remember the last time
the savings were paid to the ship's company; the titre
before this one? 31st October, 1824.

Cross examined by the Prisoner—Will yru have ti.e
goodness to cast up the amount of the rix dollars con-
tained in the receipt? (This opera!ion was perforated
by the Judge-Advocate, and subsequently by the wit-
ness]. The amount is 83 tit dollars,- four skillingt,
two :dyers.

By the Cotner—From whom did you receive the
money paid to the -ship's company as part of their
savings? From the bands of Mr. Goble.—Did you
Ilreceive it on the day that the money was paid ? It
mast have been some days before, •as I had to change
it to enable me to pay the small sums.—Was the nsKey
furnished you by the prisoner expressly for the purpose
of paying the savings, end nothing else?' It testi ex-
pressly furnished for that purpose, and nothink else. '
By the JUDGE ADVOCATIfrpo jots recollect about
the amount that was given you ? To the beat of my
recollection one hundred rix dollars.— How many men
were paid by you, besides those mentioned in the re-
ceipt ? I cannot say, but I should think about forty
men were paid small sums separately, for grog money.
Did they not sign ? They signet on the other account,
which 1 delivered to Mr. Guble.—Do you know from
what fund the hundred rig dollars were taken ? I do not.
By the Prisoner—Have you ever heard the men
murmur or complain of mrhaving paid them too lit-
tle? Oa the contrary, I have alweys heard them ex-
press themselves highly satisfied.—Are you **are that
the ship's company were paid the whole of the shore
allowance up to and including the 7th January, 1825 ?
The quantities saved by them were paid at the rate of
exchange expressed in the receipt up to that date.—Ate
you aware that there is a difference betwren public and
private bills in the exchange on England? I have
always understood, during the time I was on the Cape
station, the public bills sold at a higher rate of exchange
than the private ones.—Do you know the difference? I
do net.—The witness then withdrew in charge of the
sentinel, who had him in custody for desertion.
The urn witness called was Henry Wilson Long, the Captain's
clerk on board the Andromache.
ay the COURT—Do you leriow tbit paper (the re-
ceipt)? Yes.—Do you know the names of the men
mentioned in that paper as receiving the amount, ape.
cified against their names for their savings of provisions
and short allowance? I k.tow the men, but a hether
they received the money or not it is not ip my power...to
say positively.—Did you receive, on your own Recoup',
money for such savings, and at what time, and at what
rate per rix dollar ? 1 received money for savings due
to me up to the 7th Jan. in Jan. towards the latter end,
at the rate of 14 six dollars to the pound sterling, or
thereabouts.—Do you know the rate of exchange en
shore at that time ? It was ratber more than that.—
What sum did you at that time receive? About 26 or
27 rix dollars.—Do you know of anybody being paid
their savings at that time, and at the same rate as you
were ? Ido not of my own knowledge.
13y the JUDGE ADVOCATEHONY lung vivetzgl en
the Cape of Good Hope station? Nearly tinge years,—
During the whole of that period, what has been 'he
lowest exchange of the rix dollar per nomads e.ling?—.
I never recollect it being s) 1)w as e.even. What oas

By the Prisoner—Did you draw a private bill In January or
February last IL—I did WI.

marines of your party, ever been satisfied with me, or

fied.—ls it of your own voluntary wilt that you come

money —'What amount did you receive ? Six six
dollars, five. skill:ngs, and two stivas.—Do you re-
member Cm how much English money it was? No, I

Der.nis O'Hara was called and sworn. His evidence,
as one of the persons whose names appeared on the lace
or the receipt, was exactly to the same purport with the
testimony of the last two witnesses. He received five
1:11-dollars, three skillings, and three :titers.
This witness was ordered to withdraw.
Dar. Thomas Richardson, one of the chief clerks at the Mena-
i:2g Oa e, was then sworn, and napalmed a to the course el dm
raW of exchange at the pe of Good Hops, Its the assatha tit

crate% y.
By the Prisoner—What are the official regulations
and practice with regard to forwarding pursers ac-
counts?—By the old system. four months, and by the
. new one, nie month. This witness was then told that
. • he might withdraw.
this was the conclusion of the evidence on the first.
. charge. lit support of the second charge,Captain Moor-
sots was recalled and examined.—Did the purser re-
present to you, between lit of April, 1825, and the last
day of May following, that no savings were made be.
tween Ist of November, 1824. and 7th of January fol-
' lowing? The prisoner submitted that such a question
, was inadmissible-the time specified in the second
. charge embracing only from the first day of April to
the last.day of May.
Captain Moor sow was ordered to withdraw, and Mr.
. Long was recalled. The same question being put to this
with ss as to Captain Muorsom, he explained, that when
talking to Mr. Goble about vouchers, he said that there
was none for 7th of January, and none had been made
out, there being no savings due.—When did you after-
. wards receive the voucher ? I never received any
for that payment between the Ist November and 7th

voucher of savings having been made out at the latter
end of May? No general voucher; there was one for
men discharged, and who volunteered for the station on
the 27th of May. When was this representation you
speak of made by me to you ? . It was between the Ist
. of April and the last of May.
This was the evidence in support of the snood charge. •

Captain Moorsom was recalled, and the third charge
was read by the JUDOI•ADVOCATI. The evidence
given by the Captain was to the following effect: My
knowledge of the transaction to which the third charge
relates. is derived from the men, whose names or
marks were attached to the document already before'
• the Court, and from the purser's steward, each of whom
stated to me, that the payments contained in that re-
ceiot were made on the lower deck ; the accused him-
self denied to me having authorised any such payment,
• stating that he had paid the people in kind. Was the
. _

statenient made to jou by the prisoner, that the sem

• were paid in kind, made in the presence of any One ?
It was made on the quarter-deck, in presence of the
Senior Lieutenant, the prisoner's steward, Serjean;
Butler, and one or two others.
• Was it customary in the Andromache, daring yoni
• command of her, to pay the ship's company their
savings, without the attendance of one Officer or more?
• One payment only had been made, to my knowledge,
• and that was attended by the Senior Lieutenant and
Master, as reported to me.
The aptain then again withdrew, and the neat witness called
foe was the Senior Lieutenant, Mr. Akxander Tate. _
Were you present when the men were sent for on the guar-.
ter•dech by Captain Moursom, relative to the purser's accounts?
was.
What passed at that time in' your presence?—Capt.
Moorsom desired me to send certain of the people aft,
• alsC the Purser's Steward, and likewise the Purser. lie
told the Purser that he held in his hand a paper, by,
which certain payments appeared to bate been made
•by the Purser. The. Purser said be had Made no pay-
ments its money, bet admitted having made them in
• kitidt awd that if the Steward bad made any pelmet)
• —ie was tmkbown to him, and that die Steward Must
• • haßrepaidic oar of money given by the Purser for the
Steward's own use.

! Is there sinir further conversation that pasted on that'
subject Isetweim`the prisoner and the Captain? Ido
not recollect anything fusther.-160 you know if any
short allowance•money, or saving.% hid been paid in
kind between the dates specified in the third charge?
Several of the people who were examined on deck ad-
mitted having received part of their payment in kind;
This witness was directed to withdraw, end Serleant Butler
was recalled.

Did you ever tocebre part of your =vim and short allowance
Is kind ? Yes. part in provide= and part in money; bat not
within this last twelvemooth—net within the dates included in the
third charge. Did you know of any of the other messes receiving
their payments so? No. I did not.
This witness bad leave to withdraw.
The Pawpaw. it being a quarter past Aire o'clock. then de-
clared the Court adjourned till timber:ow (this) morning, at
ten o'clock.
Mr. Gable, who wee in the .custotir of the Provost-Marshal,
requested the indulgence of the Court to permit him to go on
shore for the night. The Provost Marshal feeling under no appre-
hend= as to the safety of .the prisoner. said that be had no objec-
tion to accompany him on shore, and therefore the muter was
finally arranged in that manner.--,The Court then adjourned.
