SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL.

•
THE COMMITTEE for MANAGING
the FONDS subicribed in the Winter of 1817-18, for
the RELIEF of the DISTRESSED and DESTITUTE SEA-
MEN, Who were found in such numbersih our streets, having
ascertained; by sad ejtperience, " Thiit there are in the
course of the year; in the Port of London, from 700 to 800
sick and diseased Seamen, destitute of medical or surgical
aid," and recommended, upon closing that Establishment,
that a .permanent Hospital should be provided, fur the pur-
pose of administering to 66'1 relief; a Public Meeting was
held on the Bth lust., at which, it was determined that a
PERNIANENT FLOATING HOSPITAL, should be esta-
blished on the River Thames, and a PROVISIONAL COM-
MITTEE' was appninted, " for framing Rules' and Regula-
tions for the government of the Hospital, with authority to
fix a day fur a General Meeting of Subscribers, for the elec-
tion of a Committee for the promotion and management of
the interests and concerns of thiCharity.".
As the extent of the plan must depend upon the amount
of the funds contributed, the Provisional Committee are
desirious of drawing the particular attention of the Public
to the 'nature and object of the intended Establishment,
which they hope will receive universal approbation, and very
general support.

Seamen, from their peculiar character and the nature of
theit• avocation, are almost universally strangers to the
ordinary modes of obtaining relief in periods of sickness,
particularly on their arrival at a port to which they do not
belong; and, therefore, notwithstanding that the utmost
relief is afforded by the various excellent Hospitals and
Medical Institutions in and about the. Metropolis, con-
sistently with their means, and with the rules by which
they are governed, those institutions are, from the circum-
stances above-mentioned, nut sufficiently available to .the
wanes-of this meritorious but unprotected class of men.—
Indeed, it it unfortunately but too well known that they fre-
quently perish unfriended in our streets.

To avert such miseries in future, and to rescue these un-
fortunate beings frtirn wretched and untimely deaths, and to
preserve them to their country, to whose security and pros-
perity they are so essential, will be the object of the proposed
Establishment; it will receive them in cases of accident and
'sickness, and, by the blessing. of Divine Providence, restore
them in a state to resume their avocations.

The Hospital will be formed on hoard his Majesty's ship
Grampus, which lias been liberally presented by his Majesty's
Government fur the purpose; a Naval Surgeon will reside on
board, and it will also be attended by visiting Physicians an 4
Surgeons, who have kindly offered their gratuitous services,
and rendered as congenial as possible to the feelings of the
individuals for whose benefit it is intended.

The Committee beg to express the satisfaction they feel in
laying before the Public the following list of Noblemen and
Gentlemen who hare already signified their willingness to
become Vice Presidents, and also in making known the libel al
manner in which the Public Companies hare answered the
application made to them; not only as affording an import-
ant addition to the funds, but as :sanctioning the opinion
which has been formed of the necessity of such an Institution
as the proposed Hospital,
