PLYMOUTH, MARCH 3. -- Last Monday a Court Martial was held on board the fleet at Torbay, on Captain BLIGH, of the Warrior, of 74 guns, on charges preferred against him by one of his Lieutenants (who was tried some time since for disobedience of orders, and acquitted). After a trial, which lasted the whole of the day, Captain B. was reprimanded, with an admonition from the President in Court, and restored to the command of the Warrior.

D. Campbell, a seaman of the Tribune, at Portsmouth, was tried by a Court Martial, on Wednesday, for desertion, and sentenced to receive 150 lashes. As the crime for which he stood charged with upon the books of the ship precluded him from the benefit of prize-money, the ship's company, on receiving a share arising from their late success, gave him, each man, a dollar, and the midshipmen, 5 dollars each. This act is characteristic of British seamen, and evinces the general good conduct of the man.

Yesterday a woman was apprehended, who was in the practice of enticing children to unfrequented places, and there stripping them of their wearing apparel. She was in the very act of inveigling a child for that purpose into Sycamore-alley. At the time she was detected, three children were produced, who identified her as being the person who stripped them. The method she generally took was to give the children a bit of paper or a rag to light for her, at the same time taking off their jocks or coats, and telling them she would keep them safe until their return: and it appears, a bit of cotton rag she gave to one of the children is part of the bedgown she at present wears.

===================================

On Saturday se'nnight, about seven o'clock, a new house, situate at the Wilderness, about a mile from Clonmell, was set on fire by some evil-minded person or persons, and was entirely consumed.

The cause of this depredation is supposed to be occasioned by the tenant who occupied these lands, and who got very deeply in arrear, not being willing either to pay any part of his rent, or surrender the land, the owner was forced to seize on the stock, which consisted of some milch cows, a horse, &c. which, on a petition being sent to the Lady whose property it is, she with much humanity, gave up the entire, and a receipt in full. We lament that such outrages should be committed by those receiving undeserving lenity and bounty from the owner, whose benevolence merited better treatment.
