We published on Wednesday last an article headed
Alarming Distress in the Shetland Islands." The article consisted
of extracts from a minute of the Shetland Destitution Committee, and
from the letters of two reverend gentlemen who have been zealous la-
bourers in the cause. We publish this day a copy of another letter
from the. Rev. Thomas Barclay. They all breathe the same spirit ;
they testify to the existence of the most frightful distress in the
islands, and remonstrate against the conduct of the London Committee,
who, deriving their intelligence from some other quarter seem to have
determined against affording any more relief to these poor people, though
they have 10,0001. still remaining in their hands of money contributed
for that specific purpose. This conduct of the London Committee ap.
pears to be wholly without excuse. If they doubt the statements of
these unimpeachable witnesses, why do the hesitate to examine into the
facts by agents of their own ? The question is not one of difficult
research. There is no point of law, no quirk or quibble
of practice connected with the inquiry, whether whole multi.
tudes of our fellow-subjeets are in a state of starvation or not. The
line which separates life from death is not more distinctly marked than
that which runs between sufficiency and famine. It will be no excuse
hereafter if they will permit the people to perish while they hold in
their hands so large a sum as 10,0001., subscribed for the relief of these
people and for that purpose alone, to say that they were misinformed or
perplexed with conflicting statements, when the fact must be as noto.
riot's as the burning of a town or any other wide-spread-calamity.
But the London Committee, it i■ said, contemplate the application of
the funds to some other purpose. By what right do they presume to
do so ? The money was subscribed on the understanding, and the un-
derstanding indicates the condition of the grant, that it should be ap.
plied in a certain way. To turn it into any other course is a breach
of faith with the subscribers. We warn the Committee that if they
persevere in their presumed intention they will take a load of respon-
sibility upon their shoulders under which a fall or a stumble would
be fatal. Let them look to this in time, for famine is a quick operator.

We have been requested to correct an error in our
report of the Commission of Lunacy on Lady Seymour. The Commis.
sion was not, as we supposed, issued by Dr. Seymour, but by Captain
Oakes, her own brother and nearest male relation in England. All
Lady Seymour's relatives, both her own and her husband's, concurred in
the propriety and necessity of so painful a measure.

MYERS AND Pow.—Mr. Henry Myers, of No.

way connected with the case of the lati-Mr. Pow.
VACCINATION.—A work of great interest and
importance to the medical world has just been published by Mr. Col.
burn—we allude to the Life and Correspondence of Dr. Jenner, the ce.
lebrated originator of vaccination. Independently of the memoir, these
volumes contain a vast deal of matter interesting to the profession gene.
rally. Among other distinguished individuals with whom Jenner had
intercourse and correspondence will be found the following :—Queen
Chorlotte—Duke of Bedford—Sir Joseph Banks—Sir Humphry Davy--
Sir Henry Halford—Dr. Hebnden— Lord Holland—Sir Everard Home

BETHLEM. fIosPITA L.—The ceremony of laying
the first stone of the addilonal buildings to ISt thlem Hospital, St.
George's-fields, took place yesterday. The visitors, who comprised
many of the distinguished foreigners now in the metropolis, as well as a
-large number of the native nobility and gentry, began to assemble
shortly after one o'clock, and digae sed themselves about the grounds,
or paid a visit of inspection to the wards of the hospital, which were
thrown open for the occasion. Among the company present we ob-
served the Archbishop of Canterbury,the Marquis of Dalmatia, the
Earl of Shaftesbury, Mr. Stevenson (the American Minister), Lord J.
Russell, the lion. Captain Cust, Capt. Alsager, Al P., Col. Clithetoe,
Sir David Wilkie, &c.

stalled Lord Rector in Aberdeen in the beginning of October, and that
