To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. SIR, I iittle expected my simple remarks on the conduct of the coacli-tnasters would have excited a single observation from one of the Muses, whose classical abilities shine in po- lished strictures. I beg permission to say, had her allego- rical allusions been drawn with more candour, which the milage maiden had reason to expect (under the rule of po- lite criticism) it would have added more lustre to the Poet's comer, But, alas Sir, poor Dolly stands accused of exultation she proudly acquaints the Muse she ever means to exult, so long as the seeds of industry flourish in the place of her na- tivity, and will ever view with indifference, those blossoms of luxury which ornament the stem of idleness in the garden of dissipation I confess, Sir, (his son of Apollo has kindled a small sPilrk of pride in nty breast, by adding (to my list) an ad- ditional strong mark of distinction to the villa, (of his own ruaking) by generating an" original idea, of its becoming a ftIL\L l'ORT!

TRIAL OF Silt It. CALDER. At nine o'clock on 31ondaymorning, the Court Martial on this Admiral was held on board the Prince of Wales in Portsmouth harbour. The Court consisted of the following officers President Vice-Admiral G .Moulague.-Vice- Adtuiralfi J. Ilolloway and B. S. Rowley.—Rear-Admi- rals E.Thornborough, J. Sutton, and Sir 1. Coifin.-Cap- tains R. D. Oliver, J. Athoiwood, the Hon. T. B. Capel, J. Bisset, J. Irwin,'J. Seater, and L. Larmour. S.r Robert Calder appeared, without his sword, in an undress uniform, in custody of Mr. Fenton, Deputy Mar- shal of the Admiralty, with his swbrd drawn. Mr. Fenton applied to the Court for the indulgence of a chair. Admi- ral Montague observed, that it was the first time he had ever heard" of such an application upon the part of a Pro- vost-Marshal. Hit was asked upon the ground of ill health and inability to bear fatigue, the Court would have no ob- jection to grant the indulgence but it was to be under- stood, that he was not to sit while a member of the court was speaking.—The surgeon of theTunnant was called in, and deposed, that Captain Tyler could not attend in con- sequence of his wounds. —The President read the order for assembling the Court Martial. It recited, that Vice- Admiral Sir II. Calder had, by a letter to the Secretary of the Adniiraityv requested that an inquiry should be insti- tuted wiUt reference to his conduct on tiie 23d July last, in not renewing the engagement with the combined fleets of France c^nd Spain. That the Lords Commissioners, actu- .Led by a desire to do what appeared to be for the good of the service, and to enable Vice-Admirai Calder to give his reasons publicly for his conduct, had thought fit to order that a Court Martial should be assembled to inquire into his conduct and proceedings with his Majesty's sqiiadfoh under his command, on the 23d day of July last; and al- so bis subsequent conduct ana proceedings, until he finally lost sight of the enemy's ships, and for not having done ins u:most to renew the engagement, and to take or de- stroy every ship of the enemy, which it was his duty to en- gage. The first witness examined, was Admiral Stirling, who, in answer to the questions o! the Court, entered upon a detail r,f ('Ie action the- result of his'evidence went,to shew thai i Admiral': vbjecf, after capturing the two Sp^nhb. vas to aud assist thp cripple- silipsof his'own fleet ont that on 24th the oi itisii See', continued sundiug f >iu the e uv though, m the opinion of the vvitnedi, ttieic wit r< i lion to their foil wing the ene uy, -;r'the A"b>" a hac he .t' oroper to do so.

At the suggestion of Sir R. Calder, a letter from him to Admira. Stiriing was i,ead.-it was dated Prince of Wales, at sea, July 23, 1805.—It was a letter of sincere thanks from Admiral Calder to Admiral Stirling, for Ins gallant support during the action and only regretting, that, owinn to the thickness of the weather, they could not more clear- ly perceive signals, and avail themselves of the enemy's mistakes, which would have enabled them to render the vic- tory more complete—expressing his hope that he should fall in with Admiral Nelson, off Cape Finisterre-and should be able again to fall in with the enemy, and render the victory more complete. Admiral Calder.—Q. Did I not always place thesqua- dron between the enemy's fleet and the Windsor Castle and the captured ships ? A. The British fleet was always between —Q. Was not the British squadron always placed hy me between that of the enemy and the port or Ferrol? A. The British fleet was nearer to Ferrol than the enemy, until they crossed our stern.—Q. When the enemy had crossed our stern, could they have fetched Fer- rol? I dont think they could, as we headed them. Admiral Martin was next examined, and his testimony was nearly similar to that of Admiral Stirling: the follow- ing question and answer formed the most material part of his evidence -Q Considering the wind and the relative situation of the two fleets during the whole day of the 23d July, could the British fleet have neared the enemy, cud re- newed the engagement ? A. The enemy lay rather abaft the beam. The British fleet would naturally have neared them, had they tacked but whether they could have re- newed the engagement or not, I cannot say that must in a great measure have depended upon the enemy, they be- ing to windward.—Admiral Catder.—"I will save the Court the trouble of many questions, by saying I never did attempt to bring the enemy to action after the 22d. I ad- mit that I did not, except by hauling my wind, show any disposition to renew the engagement with the enemy, ex- cept when I saw them move towards the British fleet; be- cause in any such attempt, I must have. separated myself from the crippled ships and prizes." Henry Craddoek, the Master of the Glory, was unable-to ascertain the distance of the British fleet from Ferrol and Rochefort; and Sir Robert declined asking him any ques- tions.—Captain Inman deposed, that on the 23d he was or- dered to chace a French frigate, then reconnoitering the British squadron, which he did and observed the enemy's fleet in a line of battle, to windward, busily engaged in re- pairing their damages, and hoisting up top-sails, which, to the best of his recollection, were as follow one of thesbips in the rear appeared to have the head of her bowsprit gone, and apparently in tow of another a second, with her fore- yard down, and foretop-gallant-mast; another with her top- sail-yard down, and three or four ships shifting topsalls dur- ing the time he lay there.—Captain Gardner deposed, that on the 23d July it was impossible for Sir Robert to have forced the enemy to action, if they chose to avoid it; and the combined squadron might have easily communicated, by signal, with land, before they could have been brought to action, had they wished so to do.—From the evidence of these officers, it however appeared that scarcely any of the ships, except the Windsor Castle, were so damaged as to prevent them from following the enemy this day the evi- dence for the prosecution closed.—On Tuesday, Sir Robert Calder observed, that not conceiving the evidence against him would have terminated so soon, lie was not prepared to enter on his defence biit that be would be ready to- morrow morning. On Wednesday the Admiral's defence was read to the Court by his Counsel, and was to the following effect That he appeared in an unprecedented situation, having served his King and country with reputation for 46 years having, for the last ten months,been employed in a most se- vere and critical servicc, without once being in port, and having in the course of it, with a very inferior fleet, forced a supeiior one of the enemy, who had the advantage of wind and situation, into action, and obtained a decisive vic- tory over them, he was compelled to solicit the present in- quiry to vindicate his honour and character: he in conse- quence solicited that his whole conduct, prior to and aftcr the action, might be inquired into; but the Lprds of the Admiralty having ordered the Court to confine itself to the affair of the 23d July, and his subsequent conduct, he consi- ders it as a declaration that this is the only part of his con- duct, upon which any doubt can attach.—He then observes that the specilic charge against him is not within any of the articles of war that it is so much the duty of an officer to eugage the enemy wherever he meets with them, that it is iucumbenton him to explain satisfactorily why he does not; but in making that explanation, it is not necessary for him, to prove the physical impossibility of doing so.—Ho then ad- mits that his own case is the only instance of a British fleet lying in sight of the enemy* without renewing the engage- ment.—The defence then proceeds to shew, that the Adiai- ral was sent in February, -with onty seren sail of the liitf, 'I' to blockade Fewoi and Corunnn, where he kept his station for some time, and when the squadrons of the enemy join-, ed, and went to the West Indies, he received the most ur- gent directions to be on his guard to prevent them, on re- turning. from joining a force which was at Ferrol, which force bad already began to move, and signal posts were erected along the coast, by which the squadrons at Corun- na and-Ferirbl might learn, by a single frigate, of the arrival ZD of their fleet off Cape Finisterre, In July, the return of the fleet was known, and stated to consist of sixteen sail of the line; on which the Admiral's force was increased by the squadron under Admiral Stirling.—Atthis time he received advice, written by Lord Nelson, .recommending a strict guard to be kept off Ferrol, which port the enemy's squa- dron, then on its return to Europe, might possibly attempt to enter; and on the 22d actually, discovered them, amounting to 20 sail of the line, 7 frigates, and 2 brigs, while his own force was only 15 sail of the line, and 2 fri- gates. Notwithstanding this inequality, the fleet under his command engaged the enemy, and gained as decisive a victory as any the country,had ever witnessed. He howe- ver, laid gr'eat stress on the want of frigates, without which is was impossible to have renewed the action had he done so, he declared that he should only, in a very unjustifiable maIJIlCr, have endangered the fleet, which it was his duty to keep together as-much as possible, in order to secure the Windsor Castle and his prizes. He, then sailed with a view. of meeting Lord Nelson or, in the event of not finding him, to proceed off Ferrol, in order to attack the enemy again, should any favourable opportunity offer, and that his conduct in so doing was approved by the Commander in Chief, who, a few days after, placed 20 sail of the line under his orders, to sail in search, of .the combined fleet. Alter noticing the remarks made on his conduct in the pub- lic newspapers, in consequence of his dispatches to the Ad- miralty oemg only partially stated in the Gazette, and the omission therein of a material passage relative to, the^ene- :ny's force at Ferrol, he observed that the result of the^ftyi- dence for the prosecution is, that on the 23d it was'.iiis-, possible to bring the' enemy to action unless they thought propel to renew it, and ou the 24th I had no chance<juf overtaking them, without separating iuy o\\îlsquadron\J' His motive for making the signal.to ask if. any of the shifts vanled to lay by, was in order to enable him. to fprtn j|s line of battle to the best advantage in case of an atta^ft'&p the enemy. He next reverted to his situation, being,, :tar,t\from any friendiy port, and exposed, as he would bale been, to become an easy prey, had he not, by his positiA, prevented the Ferrol and Rocbefort squadrons from com g out. The defence colic,uried with trie insertion of sev«i I' dOCl:l1¡ents from Admi.'al Cornwallis and others* wlwi she wed'they were mistaken and surprised as to the iiumSr of the enemy's fleet, aid with a solemn .assurance from lir ii. that be bad neve: authorised Lieutenant Jy icbo'soirto •-i«y that he had it ia lis power to bring the fleet to action on the 24th. ( On Thursday the Court met at ten o'clock; after which nuy continued in deiberation until a quarter before four, ii \dnut«uCc<! midio lied in, and the Court again j( -l u < A 1 oca'.e then read the sentence of t :) a o H g effect :■—■" In consequence of t w'l i ofAdJTlinl S r Robert Calder to the Lords of the 'i i t' ,ucj '■•n aainvestigatiol1 of his conduct Oil the a and 24tit of July jast, after the action with the com- binorr fleeis of Fraice and Spiim, and while in sight of the enemy and in cuvsequence of the instructions thereupon directed to Admnal Montague, to hold a Court Martial for the purpose of inquiring into the conduct of the said Admi- ral Sir Robert Colder, on the said days, and to try him for not having done his utmost to lake or destroy every ship of the enemy, whuh it was his duty to engage This Court has entered inti the said iaquirv and after duly consider- ing the conduct of the said Admiral Sir Robert Calder, and hearing and c'eliberating fully upon ail the evidence laid before us respecting the same on the days aforesaid, we are of opinion, that the charges against the conduct of the said Admiral Sir Robert Calder, on the above days, in presence of the enemy, in not having done his utmost to take and de- stroy every ship of the enemy, which it was his duty to en- gage, are fully proved.—" The Court are of opiniou, that such conduct on the part of the said Admiral Sir Robert Calder was not the result of cowardice or disaffection, but of error in judgment, fojr wiiicii lie flcscivet to be aeverety reprimanded, and he is hereby severely reprimanded ac- cordingly." Upon the sentence being pronounced. Sir Robert seem- ed to be deeply affected, and retired without speiking a word. He was accompanied by a great number of friends, and on descending from the deck of the Prince of Wales into his barge, scarcely lifted up his head, which was appa- rently bowed down by the weight of the sentence pronoun- ced upon him, The Emp-eror Alexander.'—Mr. Carr, in his Northern tour, gives the foliowing description of this gallant liero Tile present Emperor Alexander is about 28 years of age his face is full, very fair, and his complexion paie his eyes bille, and expressive of ihat beneficent mildness which is one of the prominent features of his character his person is tall, lusty, and well-proportioned; but, being a little deaf, to facilitate his hearing, he stoops his deportment is con- decending, yet dignified. In, the discharge of his ,august duties he displays great activity and accuteness, but .with- out show or bustle the leading features of his mind are sound discretion and humanity qualities which cannot fail to render an empire flourishing, and a people' happy He is so much an enemy to parade, that he is frequently seen wrapped up in his regimental cloak, <iding about the capi- tal alone upon a little common droskhu: in this manner he has been known to administer to the wants of the poor. It is his wish, if he should be recognised in this stare of priva- cy, that no one will take off their hats; .but the gracious- ness of his desire puts the heart in the hand as it uncovers the head. The Emperor is very much attached to the English, numbers of whom have setied in the Empire, and have formed, under the auspices of the Government, a sort' of colony. The Emperor has often been beard to say, "The man within whose reach Heaven has placed the great- est materials for making life happy, was, in his opinion, an English country Gentleman." Saturday the amount of tkf- church collections, in aid of the Patriotic fund, was 54,0001. <md of the other subscrip- tions 38,0001. making a total of 92,0001. and this sum is increasing daily. At Covent-gardeu Theatre, on Thursday night, the audi- ence were very much amused between the play and enter- tainment, by a jolly sailor, half seas over," jumping upon the stage from the pit, and insisting upon entertaining the audience with a song in favour of his deceased beloved chief, Lord Nelson. Honest Jack was for the moment re- moved from the stage but before the commencement of the piece, called Nelson's Gl6ry, lncledon came forward to an- nounce, that the brave tar- who hud presented himself was one of the valiant crew of the Victory, who came home with the remains of the illustrious chief, and that, with-the permission of the audience, he would join in tha loyal cho- rus. This communication was received with rapture by the audience. The heroic son of Neptune immediately re-ap- peared on the stage, holding in his hand a British ensign, which he continued to wave during the whole of the chorus, amidst the ecstatic-plaudits of every part of the audience. Fire:—Between seven and eight o'clock, Sunday evening, a fire broke out in the lower tier of stabiing, at the Swan with Two Necks Inn, in Lad-lane, wnich for a time threat- ened destiuction to the whole of that great concern, and the surrounding houses. The. alarm was soon circulated over the town, and the engines being well mannedwith firemen, and tolerably supplied with water, which they plied so ef- fectually, that they confined the lire to the demolition of that quarter of the stables where it began. The horses were, for the most part, out in the mail coaches those at home were fortunately got out of the stable alive, but with extreme difficulty. A part of the back premises, which abut ou Love-lane, Aldcrmanbury, caught the, but was soon extinguished. A man of the name of Baxter, who was formerly a re- spectable farmer, at Buckenham, Norfolk, took the rash re- solution of refusing every kind of sustenance, which he maintained (or some 3'aysi at the White Horse, at Ken-1 niughail, and expired in the 42d year 1 of bis age. He would at no tirue give any reason for his conduct, As an elderly matron, of a neighbouring town, a short distance from Chester, was lately taking a morning ride by the side of a wood, she found, as she supposed, a iine hare, just killed by the hOUllds; oshe immediately alighted, aud taking out her pocket-handkerchief, carefully wrapped up Miss Puss, aud mounting her Rosinante, rode home highly elated with her good fortune, and ordered puss to be dres- sed for dinner on Sunday, of which a party of friends were invited to partake. It was observed by the servant, that it did not smell sweet when brought in, but she was desired to hold her tongue, as venison always smelled so on the Sunday morning when the servant went to case it, the stench was intolerable, and she ventured to suggest her sus- picion that the supposed hare was a fox 1 his being dis puted by the matron, a sage person, well skilled in the knowledge of quadrupeds, was brought in, who verv sa- gaciouslygave it in favour of Betty—it being neither less nor more, than an old fox, with his head, fore feet, "and brush cut off Irishman's Bul"Íal.A elergymanreading the burial service over an Irish corpse, on coming to that part of the ceremo- ny that: reads thus, "our dear (brother or sister)," stopt, and seeing Pat stand by, stept back, and whispering to him, said, Is it a brother or it l'ut says by J—: 'tis neither, 'tis only a relation."

MARKETS. Mark-Lane, Dec. 30. Our arrivals of Wneat were but moderate for this day'j market; and the buyers being rather numerous, the early sales were effected at an advance of two and three shili-iij per quarter; but, towards noon, prices declined, and felt back nearly to last Monday's currency. Barley coiues freely to hand, and which, with Malt, is in demand; prices full- as good as this day se'nnight. White and Grey Pease are getting cheaper, as are new Tick Beans; the supply of each being very large. Small old Beans are scarce there were not enough in market to give a price. We have a good suppty oi Oats, which article being in request, com- manded full as high terms as last reported. In have no alteration.
