Much activity and enterprise also pre-

The latter fact seems in some measure

COURT OF ENOUIRY.


The defence OF Capt. Hull was read By
dis counsel tetore the court OF inquiry, as
>embled al the navy yard, in CharlesIown,
on Thursday forenoon. 1t was a docu,
ment OF great interest, and was consider
ed by those WHO have attended the whole
investigation to have presented faithful
outline OF the vast mass OF testimony, &C
Cupying upwards of 400 folio pages, spread
upon the record of the court. II this o.
pinion he correct there can be DO differ.
ence of sentiment hereafter, as to the per-
feet integrity OF Capt Hull, and The un-
substantial and groundiess charges that
have been preferred against his Official
con iuct. Without attempting to give an
abstract of even the points OF the defence
which was very much condensed, we may
be permitted to state one fact contained IN
it. A candid consideration OF this fact
will at once eXtlngush IN a mind OF the
least reflection thu charge OF speculation
and plumber, so confidently advanced a
gaiust this distinguished officer. He sta
ted upon his hcnor and veraclty as d gen
tleman, that his whole real and personal
property, Including bis prize money for
capturing the Gurriere, his pay aud emo
luInentS for % years of service, aud all
his other resources, amounts TO less than
eighteen housQnd dollars. A schedule Of
his estate We Understand is TO be annexed
to the proceedings The only regret we
entertain at this circumstance Ii that so
gallant an officer should have leIt it neCes-
sarY 10 resort for his YindiCatioDs to an ar
gument OF this description tut having
urged it, the charge Of peculaiion is com
pletely dIyesled OF even the shadow OF a
foundation.
The whole defence was very mastery,
especially that part OF it comprising an
examination of Lieut.. Abbol's letters 10
