ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL. The attacks which have been directed against this Hospital, though malevolent and unjust, have made such an unfavourable impression on the public mind, that the GOVERNORS have .thought proper to come forward with a printed vindication of the conduct of the Institution in all the cases that have recently been misrepre sented, and given occasion to suspicion and even obloquy. The pamphlet is plain, clear, and sa tisfactory. It states that a weekly Board is held, which is an open Committee that meets every Wednesday in the Board-Room of the Hospital. • 4 ' All Governors are members of the Weekly Board, and it is considered that they add very materially to their benevolence, by attend ing its meetings."—" Questions to the following effect are regularly put to those who are leaving the Hospital:"--Have you any complaint to make ? Have you observed any 'thing improper ?- I f so, tell us, for the good of those that are in the House, and of those who may come hereafter. Have you been treated with kindness and atten tion by the nurses and those who had to attend you ? Have you or your friends given the nurses any money, or any thing else, or been asked for any," &c. &c. These questions, and others .doubtless of the same tendency, calculated to support and promote the credit of the Institution, must give satisfaction to the subscribers, for though they may sometimes be answered with timidity, sometimes from interested motives, some times from resentment and malevolence, yet they are proper in themselves, and it cannot be doubted that the Gentlemen assembled, whp have to support their own reputation as well as the credit of the establishment, carefully consider those answers, and give them all the weight they may deserve, and form deductions accordingly. The four cases mentioned in - this pamphlet which seemed to expose the go vernment of the Hospital to suspicion and cen sure, have already been submitted to the Public, and the explanation brie given is calculated to re move all false and injurious impressions ; to vin dicate the conduct of the Governors; and to jus tify the management of this ufeful and meritori ous Institution. As it is evident that none but men of professional eminence can he appointed to the medical chirurgical departments of the Establish ment, and as the Governors must also consist of the most respectable characters, we doubt not, that the statement in this pamphlet will effec tually remove all prejudice, and restore the con dance of the Public. THE LATE DR. BAILLIE. One of the great causes of Dr. BAILLI E's distin guished success in his profusion was his profound knowledge of the science of Anatomy, which he deemed fully as necessary for the physician as for the surgeon. The following is his own lan guage in adverting to this subject : " A disease must always have a relation to a healthy action, or healthy structure of parts, for it is only a deviation from them; so that a knowledge of disease would appear to rest on a know ledge of the body in its healthy state. It is in this point of view that anatomy and physiology become so very important, as being most likely to afford the means of relieving the body when suf fering under disease. If anatomy, then, be of so much use in physic and surgery, it ought to be earnestly cultivated by those who really wish to know their profession, and to become respect able in it. This is not a trifling matter. Justice and humanity require every exertion where the lives of our fellow-creatures are concerned. There are many professions where negligence or in attention may be reckoned a folly ; but in medicine it is a crime. There is nothing that renders a person more fit for the discovery of new diseases than a knowledge of Anatomy." His estimation of himself was remarkable for its modesty. Ile would say to his own family— " I kno sv better, perhaps, that another man, from my knowledge of anatomy, how to discover a dis ease ; but when I have done so, I don't know better how to cure it. • This well-grounded con fidence in his sagacity is detecting diseases, often afforded hint cause for self-congratulation ; for instance, when he was enabled to convince any person, who came under the impression of having some fatal malady, that there was nothing mate rial the matter with him. Years of peace and comfort, that would otherwise have been years of apprehension and misery, he was conscious of having thus bestowed on many.—lle was remark able for his punctuality in every thing connected with his intercourse with society, particularly in answering letters, paying visits, and in keeping professional appointments. Ile used to say,— " I consider it not only a professional, but a moral, duty to meet punctually my professional brethren of all ranks. Illy equals have a right to such a mark of my respect, and I would shudder at the apprehension of lessening a junior practi tioner in the eyes of his patient, by not keeping an appoint ment with him." Dr. BAILLIE'S disposition was of the most chairtable and generous kind. He was not only in the constant habit of refusing fees, when he - thought they could ill be, afforded, but he often .gave money, and sometimes in considerable sums,' where he thought it was well bestowed. A young lady, who was suffering severely from a pulmonary complaint, asked his advice, and he recommended her to spend the winter months in a milder part of the country ; but finding that her circumstances would not admit of her trying this last resource to regain her health, he in stantly gave her an adequate sum of money. The following is another instance of his generosity, and of his great delicacy in bestowing it. A lady, whose rank in life was far above her pecu niary resources, had an illness which made his attendance of the highest importance. The doc tor took his fee regularly, .every visit until his services were no longer necessary ; he then left in a bag the whole amount of what he had receiv ed, offering to the ledy ns an apology, that he knew, that had he once refused to take his fee during his attendance, she would not have per mitted him to continue it. " Numerous indeed," says Mr. Wardrop, "are the in stances which might be mentioned, where he seemed to be glad to have an opportunity of thus chewing that there was a value in his professional visits beyond a fee. The meanness, however, of some of his patients might have chilled any liberal feeling less ardent than his ; for he has been heard to mention, that, in more instances than one, a shilling, carefully packed .up, had :been given to him in pkce of a guinea !" PERILS AT SEA. The following interesting narrative is by a wit ness of the events described : w•e publish it, not from a wish• to alarm our readers by exaggerated accounts of the dangers of a sea-life, but from a desire to show the fortitude and manly self controul of British seamen under the most trying circumstances : JOURNAL OP A VOYA•E FROM JAMAICA TO ENGLAND IN THE BRIGS WELLINGTON, OF COILS, AND SOPHIE, OF ALTONA-BY A PASSENGER. " At day-break of July 17th, 1825, the brig Wellington, of 288 tons, as per register, belonging to Messrs. Morgan and Reeves, merchants, of Cork, sailed from Port Royal, Jamaica for London. Her cargo consisted of sugar, rum, coffee, log wood, mahogany, lancewood, spars, and Nicaragua-wood. She had a crew of 16 men, exclusive 'of the Captain, John Peasly, about 48 years of age, an excellent sailor, having been brough t up to the sea from childhood, and a respectable and worthy man. There were five cabin passengers,-1. William llol kirk, Esq. formerly an Officer of Dragoons, who had served in India and Spain, a gentleman of the most benevolent disposi tion, considerable talent, and of manners remarkably courteous and bland. 2. His wife, a very lovely and interesting woman, warm-hearted, of lively conversation, and of gay and fashion. able appearance and deportment. 3. Their only daughter, an animated playful girl of about nine or ten years of age. Her father, I believe, was about 38, and her mother 32. 4. Mr. Charles Morales (son of a surgeon, in Kingston, Jamaica), going to London for the purpose of walking the hospitals and attending medical lectures. 5. Myself. There was also one steerage passenger, afflicted with rheumatism, and sent at the expence of the city, from Kingston hospital. In all, there were 23 souls on board. The brig was built at Workington, in 1813, and considered a remarkably fine sea-boat, was in good sailing trim, and well found in canvass, cordage, provisions, and all necessaty naval stores. " On the deck was a round-house, containing two small bed rooms, (in one of which Mrs. Holkirk slept, and her daughter in the other), with a sitting-room in which were two sofas con verted into beds at night, and occupied by Mr. Holkirk and Captain Peasly. Mr. Morales and myself slept in two other small bed-rooms leading out of the cabin below. " A strong current running to the westward, with a west trade wind in our teeth, we did not weather point Morant (the east ern end of Jamaica) until the evening of the 22d, after which we had a fine run along the western coast of II ayti, going very near Cape Nicholas Mole on the 28th, sailing through the Cai cos passage on the 30th, and crossing the Tropic of Cancer on the following day. The weather thus far was generally th vourable and pleasant, our social cabin party passing the greater part of the day in breakfasting and dining under an awning upon deck, relieving the tedium of a sea voyage by light read ing and conversation, and retreating for shelter into the round house during showers of rain, which were heavy and not un- frequent. " On the 11th of August it blew strongly throughout the day, the gale increasing as the night approached; but no dan ger being apprehended at 8 o'clock, my ordinary hour of retire ment, as I was an invalid, 1 bade good night, and shook hands as usual with poor Mr. and Mrs. Holkirk, and descended to my birth. About midnight it blew a dreadful gale; but al though the motion of the vessel prevented any sleeping, I still did not anticipate danger. " Next morning, (August 12), about six o'clock, the mate, Mr. John Kellar, coming into the cabin for something wanted on deck, informed me that it was blowing as violent a gale as he had ever experienced, and that the brig 'was lying to, on which I remained quietly in bed until about seven o'clock, a.m. • when being by computation in latitude 39. 9. N. long. ii 2. 44 W., the two starboard dead lights were driven in with an im mense torrent of sea pouring through them and down the com panion, deluging the cabin ; at the same awful moment I heard the last shrill and agonizing shriek of the lamented Mrs Holkirk. " Mr. Morales, William Peasly, a cabin boy, and son of the Captain, and myself, in our night-shirts, burst through the ' water, and rushed upon deck, where also was horror ! A stu pendous wave had struck our broadside, and cleared the deck from stem to stern. Hardly a vestige of the round-house, in which were the three Holkirks and Captain Peasly, remained. The second mate and four sailors (all the starboard watch), with the exception of the helmsman (Jack Hill), who, though knocked down and stunned, was entangled in the chains of the rudder, and providentially saved, were swallowed up by . the same fatal wave. Our two boats, spare tiliber and spars, sheep, pigs, a milch goat, Newfoundland dog, seven coops of poul try, eleven large water casks, four barrels of beef and pork, cooking-house, water-closet, with the whole range of bul warks offeaclt side, excepting here and there a stanchion, were swept into the deep ; the wheel of the rudder was broken to pieces ; the fore top mast, main top gallant, jib and main booms; &c. carried away ; the sails all in tatters, flying wildly ; the gale from S.S. E. most tranendous ; the noise of the roaring sea deafening ; the waves mountains high and covered with foam, (Alen washing right over the deck ; the spray falling like heavy rain ; and the sky so obscured, that you could not see more than a few yards front the brig. They who have witnessed a similarly awful scene, can alone truly estimate the extent of our calamitous situation. " The mate, who, in this dreadful crisis, exhibited the most admirable presence of mind, activity, and disregard of per. sonal danger, ran instantly with Hill and replaced the booby hatch, which had been washed off, called up the larboard watch, and having stationed two of our stoutest men at the pump, was engaged with the others, ropes attached to some parts of the vessel being tied round their waist to secure them, in cut ting away the fragments of spars, &c. which were heating against the sides of the brig, and in clearing away the wreck. Every possible exertion was used, and all the men that I saw were calm, active, and enterprising;—in short, true British sailors, apparently animated with but one sentiment of " whilst there is life there is hope, and we will do our duty to the last and utmost, though our chance of escape is small indeed."— To this feeling and conduct throughout the crew there was but! one exception ; a tall sailor, having abandoned himself to de spair in despite of threats and entreaties, would not leave his hammock till the violence of the storm had abated ; his subse quent conduct, however, in the trying scenes which followed, was most exemplary. " In the round-house was swept away all its furniture ; two beds and three trunks belonging to Mr. Holkirk, a quantity of wine, a small library, a talking parrot, the captain's watch and money, the brig's papers and accounts, a letter-bag from the Commercial Rooms, Kingston, and my watch, chain, seals, and gold pencil-case, and my purse, containing 201. sterling, which on the first day of the voyage, while suffer ing from sea-sickness, I had given into the care of Mr. Hol kirk. What heartfelt sorrow had been spared, had these been all which that wretched round-house contained ! But God's will be done; he has removed its inmates to another and a better world ; whilst here their loss will be long de plored with poignant regret, and their memory cherished with grateful and affectionate esteem. " Of the nine persons that perished, one only was seen in the water. The helmsman, on recovering his senses, perceived George, the seco n d mate , fl oa ting on some of the wreck of the main-boom astern, and instantly cut the rope called the main sheet in two places, but before he could throw it to the un fortunate man, a mountain wave overwhelmed him. The last time the kind-hearted Holkirk was seen was by Mr. Keller, the mate, about a quarter of an hour before the round-house was carried away, when, with that affectionate attention which characterized his conduct, he was sitting by the bed of his wife, who was much alarmed, and by whose side their daugh ter had crept, comforting them, and endeavouring to inspire them with fortitude and hope. The Captain, who had been on deck during most of the night, was seen reposing on the sofa a few moments before the wave had struck us, and was probably dozing. He had lost his eldest son, a young man of great promise, who went out with him as second mate, whilst lying in Jamaica, by that scourge of the NVest Indies, the yellow fever, of which disease five others of his crew also died. He has left at Passage West, near Cork, a wife anti six children, without, as I much fear, any provision for their sup. port ; but I hope that the highls respectable merchants who have long known his worth, will institute a subscription on their behalf, and thus console, so far as a generous sym pathy and pecuniary assistance can console, the fatherless and widow. " Mr: Holkirk had two sons at school in this country, but I believe they will have competent fortunes, and they have two paternal uncles, whose bounden duty it will be to comfort, pro tect, and guide them. Of the families of the other sufferers I know nothing. " After remaining nearly half an hour on deck, I felt ex tremely cold, and retired to my bed-room, Mr. Morales and young Peasly accompanying me to prayers. In the meantime the carpenter succeeded in stopping up the two starboard dead lights, with the beds of Mr. Morales and myself placed against the windows, and propped by boards from a beam in the roof of the cabin. In about two or three hours the cook, a black man, above 70 years of age, and the infirm steerage passenger, having crept from their births in the forecastle, on their hands and knees, joined us in the cabin e the for Mer, who had been 60 years at sea, and the latter more than eleven, had never wit nessed so terrible a storm before, and both despaired of safety. About eleven o'clock the wind somewhat abated, but the sea continuing dreadfully high, a small sail was set to steady the viasel. Soon afterwards, however, the storm returned with equal, if not increased violence ; the sail was quickly rent to pieces, and the mate and carpenter both said that now " no thing but a miracle could save us." The sea passing right over the brig in all directions ; and although the utmost exertions were made with the pump (we had but one pump-break, and coukl therefore use but one pump at a time), the water was rapidly gaining on us, and the vessel becoming logged and set tling. In the evening, through God's mercy, the storm entirely subsided, but the maddened sea still continued rolling heavy waves against and over us, the brig often trembling violently from their shocks ; .and the carpenter, on sounding, found that we had 12 feet of water in the hold. All hands were employed in pumping for our lives, but without causing any perceptible improvement in the vessel during the night, as she lay like a log on the sea. Three considerable leaks were, however, for tunately discovered and stopped. AUGUST 13.—Happily this day there was not much wind, and the sea, though still of terrific violence, obviously abated ; but the sugar having been principally, if not wholly, wasted away from its hogsheads in the lower part of the hold, the vessel fell on her starboard side, the waves going over her nearly half-way of her masts. The most vigorous exertion was still used.at the pump, which was kept unremittingly going : and a quantity of logwood, with a few barrels of coffee, thrown out of the waste, but without much apparent relief. During the night there was rather more wind and sea, and our fears consequently increasing, but without dismay. " AUGUST 14.—At. day-break, we perceived a vessel a head ; but she was at a great distance, and steering from us, most probably without having observed us, was, to our great disappointment, soon out of sight ; but the morning was plea sant and tranquil, and we bad the happiness of finding that the water, in our hold was perceptibly decreasing. Our •cop pers were re-erected and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast of hot coffee, our first meal since the evening of the 11th, though we had been supplied whh biscuits and ruin and water, by snatches during that time. A bower anchor on the starboard side was heaved overboard, and shortly afterwards the brig rolled on the larboard, which lay level with the water, when logwood from that side of the waste, and our two remaining bower anchors ( the two kedge anchors having been wash ed away on the 12th), were thrown into the sea, by which the vessel was much relieved and became nearly upright, whilst on each succeeding sounding our spirits were exhilarated by finding the water in her hold, which fon a long time had been completely saturated with sugar, and resembled thin mo lasses in appearance and consistence, was becoming gradually less and less, till at ten o'clock at night, after sixty-three hours of incessant and strenuous labour, three hearty happy cheers announced the - air-sucking of the pump. " During these 63 hours of toil and peril, the promptness, activity, and intrepidity of the mate, who bore his full share of labour with the common sailors, and kept up their spirits by his example, were most conspicuously displayed; and his conduct was nobly emulated by our small surviving, crew, not one of whom was in the slightest degree intoxicat ed, though all of them had rum of their own, to which they had uncontroulled access; but all (with the exception at the beginning) were zealous and instantly. .obedient to command, working to the utmost with minds undismayed and bodies in defatigable. " Aug. 15.—At dawn of day the crew began to bend a new foresail, all the canvass which had been up during the storm having been entirely destroyed, when we saw a small boat, with a lug sail, rowing towards us, and by seven a. in. to',*. on board Capt. F. 111`Cubbin, and five sailors, the crew of the brig Nancy, of Maryport, of 194 tons, which sailed from St. Johns, Antigua, July 27, laden with sugar, and bound for Liverpool. She had sprang a leak in the gale of the 12th, and thundered in the evening of the 13th, the men escaping into the pinnace, two of them by swimming, -not more than two minutes before the vessel went down ; ono person only, a passenger, an old and infirm man, of•the name Of Harrison, lately mate of the West Indian, of London, being drowned. They were distant about 500 miles from Newfoundland, to which they were steering, having only the clothes on their backs, with five gallons of water, three gallons of brandy, a small trunk of biscuit, and a bucket full of pork on board, when they providentially descried our vessel. " Although the Wel)ington was now perfectly tight, with an excellent, and, thug reinforced, a strong crew, under a mate, whose conduct had proved him well worthy of command, yet there were four very cogent reasons to render the de parture of at least part of the persons on board more par ticularly the useless mouths, extremely desirable :—lst, Lime sugar having been mostly, perhaps entirely, washed away, the brig had become " very light and crank, exhibiting a large surface of hull to the wind, and liable to be sent on her beam ends and founder, from a sudden violent gust of wind, or from a strong sea striking her under the bilge. The brig is destitute of anchors and boats—most dangerous defi ciences on approaching land. It is true, that she has the Nancy's boat on deck, but it is not capable of carrying more than twelve men with safety in a heavy sea, and the Wellington has twenty-thur on board. 3d. Her masts and rigging were so much injured that she could make but little sail in adverse winds, and the time of her arrival might, therefore, be very greatly protracted. 4th. illost of her biscuit, which was kept in lockers in the cabin, was damaged by salt water, and a great part spoiled ; whilst 11 puncheons of fresh water, all nearly, if not quite; full, having been replenished by rain collected from the round-house, had been washed away from the deck, so that a scarcity of bread and water was already felt. " AUGUST 20.-LOn this day, and for two days before, the sky was gloomy, and the wind high and adverse, about eight A. at. a large ship under great press of sail was seen steering to the westward; but she flew by at a distance, and the sea was so high as to have rendered communication with her by boat extremely dangerous, if not absolutely impracticable. Soon afterwards we saw a brig to leeward, on the sane course with ourselves, on which we hoisted our ensign, the signal of a de sign to speak, and bore down upon her as well as we could, when she hoisted Danish colours and lay to for us. As the sea, though still very high, had considerably fallen since the morning, she sent out her boat, and about four a', at. Captain 111‘Gubbin, Mr. Morales, and myself, were safely conveyed on board the Danish brig Sophie, of Altonis, Captain Erck Pater son Klien, by whom we were most kindly received and very comfortably accommodated. " the Sophie sailed from Havannah July 24th, having a crew of 14 men, incluning the Captain, with eight guns, and a full cargo of sugar, coffee, and a little dye-wood. By the Wellington log, at noon this day, the latitude was 29. 46. longitude 46. 50. By the Sophie's, lat. 39. 38. long; 45. 33. " With no slight emotion did I take leave of Mr. Keller and. his brave crew, though all were convinced of the propriety of our - departure. If wits his intention, if possible, to carry the WellingtOn into Cork, where her owners reside ; and if the wind would not permit him to make that port, to run her into any of the western harbours of Ireland or England, as, in her present disabled state, it would be extreme rashness voluntarily to sail far up the English Channel. She was in sight on August 22d, in lat. 39. 55. long: 45. I). God grant that her fearless hardy crew may crown their meritorious exertions by carrying her in safety to some British port. " When the huge wave which cleared her deck, struck the Wellington at seven o'clock in the morning of August 12, she was, as before stated, in lat. 30. 9. lon. 52. 44., and must have been nearly in the same situation at noon, at which time the Nancy was in lat. 37. 12. lon. 53. 30., or about 120 nautical miles distant; the storm with the Wellington blowing S.S.E., with the Nancy from S. E. to N. W. At the same hour the Sophia was in lat. 38. 40. long. 60. 35., or about 420 miles dis tant from the Wellington, and 450 from the Nancy, the wind being from N. to N.N.E. with heavy rain, but no gale. " SEPT. 12.—This afternoon about four o'clock, the Mary of Cowes, Isle of Wight pilot-boat, No. 6. Mitchel master,came alongside a little to the south-east of Portland Bill, and con veyed my two fellow-passengers and myself to Weymouth, in Dorsetshire, where with heartfelt joy and gratitude, after an absence of exactly two years and nine months, I again stepped on my beloved native land. We were 57 days on our voyage, 34 in the Wellington, and 21 in the Sophie. To the above interesting narrative, we regret to add, that no tidings of the Wellington or her crew have hitherto reached the metropolis. 'We fear there cannot be. rationally entertained any hope of their escape from the dangerous element they so manfully braved up to the moment the useless hands were transferred to the Sophie. Too much praise cannot be given to Captain Klein, of the latter vessel, for his humane attention to our fellow-countrymen, FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoile, dated Wednesday, Oct. 12.) PARIS, ,OCT, 11.—His Majesty the King of Prussia set out this morning to return to his dominions. _ _ The commercial arrangement between Switzerland and the kingdom of Wurtemberg was signed at Zurich on the 3d in stant, by the respective Commissioners, with the reserve of the ratification. On the 4th the Wurtemberg Commissioners set out from Zu rich to Lucerne, with the intention of paying their respects to the President of the Diet. They will then return to Stuttgard. M. Galez, merchant at Bordeaux, is appointed by the Mexican Government to certify the origin of the goods which shall be sent from that port to Mexico, and to protect at Bordeaux the commercial interests of the subjects of the new State.

On the 25th of August a fire broke out in the quarter of the Franks, which destroyed 33 houses ; it would have done much more damage, but for the prompt assistance afforded by the Commanders of the French, English, Austrian, American, and Dutch men of war, who seconded the local authorities, so that the tire was got under in two hours. The Chief of the Turkish guard was very active, and perfect order was preserved the whole time. M. Guilleminot, son of the French Ambassador, arrived at Smyrna the 18th of August. On the sth of September a Princess, daughter of the Sultan, was born, to whom the name of Hadetschl Sultana was given. On the same day, the Marquess Gropolla, the Sardinian Am bassador, was presented to the Sultan : the presents he has brought are of ()Teat value. M. Zuyler de Nievelt, the new Ambassador of the Netherlands, arrived on the sth September; the solemn notification of his arrivd was to take place on the 2d. The Aga of the Janissaries has been dismissed, and Manned Aga, (;hief of the 44th Orto, appointed his successor. Prince Talleyrand, travelling with the Duchess of Dino, his niece, and the Princess of Tiszchiewietz, from Poniatowska, has been for some days in our city (Lyons.)
