Xotwithitanding the abort time they hare been boilt and the fact that they hare teen little or no ter rloe, the material of both the Tenelj are found to seriously totten and the boata altogether to defect! re that on the receipt of the report made by the dockyard officials directed to surrey them the Lords of tho Admiralty forwarded an order to Chatham DocVjard for both the Teasels to be broken up, their condition being soch aa to render them altogether unfitted for any serrlee whaterer. Xotonly are some of the timbers liberally marked with "sap but, from certain nnmlstakeable symptoms now exhl llted, this fact most have been known to the builders at the time, and yet, extraordinary a It may appear, thire would seem to hae been no raperriilon nor controlling power on the part of the Admiralty to pre Ten the grots deception and the scandalous fraad perpetrated. The two snortar Teasels which hare been ordered to be broken up at Chatham Dockyard were taken, we beliere, promlacuouJy from the squadron of that class of Tetwlt lying In Boo Creek and hauled op at the dockyard, and at the first two thai selected for surrey are found to be so rotten as to mgulre to be taken to pieces, fears an naturally entertained the neater part, if not the whole, of that costly fleet of gun and mortar Teasels will not, upon surrey, prore equally unfit for further terrlce, and at a time too when the aspect of affairs leads to the supposition that their iaerricet may be required at no distant date. The Powerful, 84, line of battle ship, which hat been tome time in' dock at Chatham, undergoing preparations for her oonrenion to a screw steamer, has, upon examination been found to be to rery defectire that the orders for her alteration hare been countermanded by the Admiralty, and she Is to be put out of dock. The line of battle sailing ship Bombay, bow attached to the restrre at Deronport, has been selected to undergo the neoessary alterations required to conrert her to a screw (teamshlp, and will be sent to Chatham Dockyard for that purpose, when she will occupy the dock racated by the Fowerf ol, 84.

The Trinoomalee, 24, one of the sailing frigates at Chat ham designed by the Admiralty to be used as training ships for the Karal Coast Volunteers Is to be fitted for that ter rloe, and, when eompltted, will be tent to one of the ports oa the eastern coast of England. On Friday morning a court martial assembled on board Her Majesty's ship Victory, In Portsmouth harbour, to try Lieut. Thomas Simeon, of Her Majesty's ship Per. sereranoe, on the following charges 1.

The defence was of some length, and at Its conclusion a number of certificates of serrice were handed ia by the prisoner, and read by the Deputy Judge Adrocate. The prisoner called no witnesses.

The sentence of the Court was read by the Deputy Judge Adrocate, to the effect that the Court, after maturely and deliberately weighing the evidence Lr the prosecution and defence, and also what the prisoner had to say in his defence, found that the first charge had been partly proved, Inasmuch as the prisoner had been'guiltyof neglecting hlsduty inthrowlngqaoits when officer of the watch but the Court acquitted him of any Intentional falsehood or preraricatlon. The second charge was proved, and the third charge not proved. The sentence of the Court was that the prisoner be dismissed Her Majesty's ship Penereranoe, and be place at the bottom ofSo Lit utenantt' list. 1 it reports of our Malta correspondent come down to at late a date as the 30th of April, on which day the following ships composed the uagniaoent fleet In port The Marlborough, 131 (bearing the flag of the Vice Admiral Commander In Chhf A.

Atnestiagaf the sorters employed at the General Post oOes took place at aa carry hour oa Saturday morning, at Shaftesbury haa, Alderigate street, with a view of ccntlder lng what steps ahooil be taken to procure a general improve, meat of their condition la regard to pay and hours of labour, and sspedally to obtain some relief from the mid day extra duties recently la posed tpoa them.

This meeting was one of many whir tin been held for the same object in the newspaper aad other departments of the General Jbst oBce, from which, it need tearecly be said, the reaentAti'ei of the press have been, carefully eztladed VJT tU authorities at that estaUiihment. One of tht raters baring been called to the chair, the meeting was addressed at length by several speaker, all of whom de tailed.with more or lets of elreumitantiality grlevancea under which they suffer, and ta which attention has already been directed In these columns. One of them stated that the sorters were formerly appointed at a salary of SOI. per aaaum, rising to 110? but as the duties Increased and more band were required it wu thought advisable to meet the eitra expense by reducing tee wages of all employed to 27a, a week. There was much grumbling at this, but it was persisted In till more hands were again neoessary the outlay for this wu met by farther retrenchments, and the sorters were reduced to 25s.

a week, and a short time after aids to 23s. The sorters' were then called upon with the letter, carriers to perform extra midday duties, and for this, for a short time, a shilling a day was allowed, which made an acceptable addition to their poor salaries bat toe boon was only temporary, for they were at last told that the Pott oSce authorities would not admit that anything was extra duty, so even the shilling a dar was taken from' them, and they had to do the work for nothing. The rice controller of the establishment denied that they worked for eight hours a day throughout the week; but that was not only the fact, but; eight hours was the actual nisinsni of their time of labour. They rose at 4 a.m., and were at the Post office at 5, when they despatched the mail at a quarter to 9, aad left the bufldlns at 9 If the mail was not late, or any of the Australian malls did not come in. la either of the latter emergencies they were kept the letters till 12 or 1 o'clock In the day.

They were on. duty again at a quarter to 5 three nights in the week, and at 5 o'clock the other three, remaining at constant work till 8 o'clock, or sometimes a little after. When the scheme of midday duty was adopted, under which. In addition to these hours, they commenced work again at 10 in the forenoon, the shilling extra pay was given. But when the Commissioners recommended the discontinuance pf extra duties as disqualifying, by overwork, from the proper performance of the regular duties, the midday labour war taken off the sorter, and the Junior letter earrfers were made to perform It without pay.

But this plan also failed, for as the lettere arrien were gradually placed In regular walks the sorters were again called upon to do the extra work. In rain they memorialized against this injustice. They were told that It would only be a temporary arrangement, and Informed, in answer to their inquiry why they did not get the temporary pay, that In future no such term as "extra duties" would be allowed all duties were included in the weekly salaries. In May, 1859, therefore, an order was iwued that sorters must perform this extra midday duty without extra pay for one week In every five. The men grumbled but were silenced, and submitted because they could not help themselves.

After a lapse of a few months, as the midday duties Increased, came another order, under which sorters were obliged to perform the duty one. week out of our. This was very hard, for the midday duties meant labour from 4 In the morning till 8 at nlht, with one hour for refreshment and repose in the middle of the day but none of them had ever known where the room In the Post office was to bo found for re posing, or where any refreshment wu to be obtained. Bad as this state of things was, It seemed capable of being made worse; aad worse It bad accordingly been made, for recently another order has been given! out commanding the sorters to perform midday duty one week In every three. They had heard that a Commission had been appointed to Inquire into the organization and system of the Post office, and to this Commission they bad tent In a memorial of their grievances, as the letter carriers had also done, and requested to be admitted to an interview.

In reply they bad leceived a note simply telling them to send In their memorial, but not alluding totheir request for an interview, which from that they could only infer was declined. The Commission had now ceased to meet at all; so they bad none to appeal to, for It was useless memorializing the Secretary of the Post office; Tbey never saw or heard of him, and to their numerous petitions no answer was ever returned. At for the Commission, they had no great amount of confidence' la Its effecting anything in the way of per manent amelioration of their condition, and they sent In their memorials to It more for form's sake, and that their masters might not angur from their silence that they had nothing to complain of. Another speaker moved a rote of thanks to Mr, Bowyer, M.P., warmly eulogizing that gen tlemanior his kindness in moving in the House for such returns as would clearly demonstrate to the world the exigencies of their position. This was carried by acclama tion.

Other speakers also addressed the meeting, advocating in the strongest terms the necessity for a Parliamentary Inquiry a resolution to petition the House of Commons wu carried nem. and a committee appointed to draw it np forthwith. The meeting, which was very numerously attended, then terminated with the customary rote of thanks to the chairman. TIE LICENSING SYSTEM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir, One of the points which the opponents of Mr, Gladstone's Wine Bill most earnestly seek to impress upon us is the very great respectability of the present class of publicans. They assure us that the licensing magistrates inquire diligently into the character and circumstances of all applicants, and only intrust licences to those who are unquestionably men of capital and good fame. By these means, wa are tola, a class of sober, orderly, godfearing tradesmen has been formed, far more desirous of discouraging excess and inebriety than of promoting a quick draught of porter and gin, although it is by the sale of these stimulants that they lire. And if this be true, they must be a very extraordinary and a very admirable class of people indeed. But I am afraid it is not true.

My fear are founded on an argument which fell from the lips of Mr. Edwin James but a few days ago, when he ap peared at tho Aliudlesex Sessions to support the appeal of Xat Langham, the pugilist, the late landlord of the Cambrian Stores, in Castle street, Leicester square, who had been deprived of his licence by the magistrates in consequence of the nuisance which his house hail created to that neighbourhood. The Cambrian stores was what is called a fighting house." It was frequented by pusrilists. and by their associates. It was kept open all night.

I he preliminaries pf prue rghta were arranged there, the combatants made their deposits there, they weighed there the day before they fought, they showed there the day after the battle, they took their benefits there. There was sparrinz. singing, and dancing there every night. The dancing chiefly clog hornpipes" on tables was of the heaviest and noisiest description, especially wnen it was indulged in by a powerful negro performer known as Langham's fancy black." On weighing days," on fighting days," and on settling days," before, during, and after every great fight, between 2,000 and 3,000 of the lowest and most lawless ruffians London could produce, swearing, struggling, sparring, and shouting, crowded the "stores "and streets around in such masses as to set the police at defiance, and to compel the terrified neighbours to close their shops. Over this pandemonium Xat Langham, an ex pugilist and licensed victualler, presided.

All this, and more than this, was proved the slice and by the neighbours, nor was Mr. Edwin ames able to shake their evidence by cross examination.examination. "Whereupon, when that able advocate addressed the bench of magistrates, he pleaded Lang ham's case after the following fashion Is true that the Cambrian Stores Is a fighting house that It Is chiefly frequented by prizefighters and their friends and followers and that the habits of these people are notoriously noisy, nocturnal, and loose. Bat you magistrates were perfectly aware of this when you gsve Langham his licence. You knew he wu a fighting msi of no capital, put in expressly to attract this class of people to the house yoa knew what tort of hours they would keep, and In what sort of dances and songs tbey would Indulge, and, nevertheless, yoa thought fit to Intrust him with a licence.

If yoa cow turn round upon this man and deprive him of the ceane of eammg his livelihood, because he hu been proved to have eondirted lit hosts precisely as rem knew from his prrriooj character aad habits he wu certain to condact and at dozens of other prizefighters whose houses you bars also licensed are notoriooily condueticg theirs, I say that you are acting with the greatest fcypoerwy." Soch were tto arguments, and inch almost the rery words with which Mr. Edwin James pleaded ths cause of his pugilistic dient at the last Middw Quarter Sessions. It is dear from what Mr, James said upon that occasion and no man is better versed in the working of the Kcnying system than he is that it is an entire tolacy tn suppose that the Ucensing magistrates only issue licences to men of known capital and character. The truth is that they intrust them to those whom the brewers recommend, sad the brewers recommend those who are likely to attract most customers, care to exact from the publicans sufficient deposit, or caution money, ia protect themselves from loss cr cue they shjuld fail. If the neighbourhood Is a respectable and quiet one, they select for it a respectable and quiet man.

who will condact the business in stich a way as will not offend the neighbours if it is a rowdy neighbourhood theypick out some well known and popular ruffian, whose influence will 11 the bar all day and all night with thirsty coa terra or.gera, thieves, and prostitutes, trusting that if they carry their pranks too far the magistrates will allow the licence to be transferred to somebody else. And in general the magistrates do allow this but in Langham'a case the evidence was too grave and too clear, and the licence of the house was lost. The few facts I have here mentioned may be useful when the Wine Licences Bdl is again debated. It is difficult to Imagine that the projected wineshops, under the superintendence of the police, can be conducted much worse than the nurht houses all over London now are under the boasted tupefvidojuj of the Middlesex magistrates.

The interest excited by "this almost unparalleled ease, which began to subside with the tuieide of the supposed murderer (Henry Corby), has been again revived by the discovery of a portion of the plate which was stolen from tie house the unfortuntte victim, Miss Elizabeth Pulley. This discorery took place under the following circumstances Two men named Charles worth and Lowe were fishing in the back water of Uadd's Mills, just on the outskirts of the town, when one of them perceived something glittering at the bottom of the stream which he at first supposed to be shells a supposition, however, which further observation 'dispelled.

Throwing in a snaphook, he drew out a piece of wash leather. This stimulated farther search. Entering the water, which at the spot in question Is about seven feet In depth, the man succeeded in recovering 30 pieces of silver, consisting of tablespoons, forks, besides several plated articles. Information of the matter was then oom on tested to the police, and another raking of the bed of the stream brought to light five more pieces of silver. Some of the articles are marked E.

P. (Elisa beth Pulley), and others with tne lnitlaU or members of toe deceased lady's family. We understand that It la Intended to dam up the stream and pump out the water, with a view to a more careful examination of the bottom, as it Is not Improbable that Miss, Pulley's rings, which, it will be re. membered, were seen in a small writing deak In Corby's possession, were di wwd of In the same way as that portion of the plate which has thus been recorem). On the morn ng of his apprehension Corby wu seen going in a direction towards Hudd's Mills, and in a plantation which be would past on the way has been found a plated cream ewer, which from Its shape could not conveniently be packed In the wash leather In which the other articles were wrapped previous to their beieg cast into the water.

The plate, most of which appears at though it had never been used. Is now In the possession of Mr. Superintendent Ward. It was stated in evidence that the deceased lady used to say she had suSeient plate to furnish a jeweler's shop. There seems every reason to beliere that the heavier portion of the silver which Mist Palley was known to posaest was disposed of at Peterborough oa the day en which Corby was traced thither with a weighty basket.

The feet and dues to various officials on presentation amounted to nearly HW. an assistant curate's salary deducted SOf. more lodgings, daring the repUrs of the parsonage, cost an additional 100. The whole first year's income was thus This was bad enough but, had the Ecclesiastical Dilapidations (proposed) Bill bees In operation, I might hare been compelled at once to incnr an expen te of 400.
