LATE CATASTROPHE AT FURTSMOUTIL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
His Majesty's Ship Prince,
Ordinary Depot, Portsmouth Harbour, Sept. CZ, 1225.

Sso—On reading the account of the late accident at Portsmouth,
in the Part:mewlle Telegraph of last week, I was surprised is
observe that the name of Mr. M•Conkey, the Surgeon's Assistant
of this Ship, who has been doing duty in the Surgery of this Dock-
yard, is omitted in the list of Medical Gentlemen who gave their
services on the occasion (I presume from the circumstances net
having been accurately stated to the Editor). As I bad an opporta.
nity, immediately after the occurrence, of witnessing that Gentle-
man's exertions I think it a justice due to his merit as well as ha-
manity to acquaint the Public, through the medium of your usehil
Paper, that they were unparalleled. I have the pleasure of serving
in the same ship, and can with the strictest truth declare, that for
humane attention and professional skill, as fat as I am a jodge, he
stands unrivalled.

I have great satisfaction in adding, that the basin-is now entirely
cleared, and no more bodies have been found than those which the
Public are already apprized of.—l am, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
THOMAS L. YATES,
Purser of the Ordinary Depot, Portsmouth•
