that he is intimately acquainted with Mr. st.
George, who disappeared mysteriously from
Philadelphia short time since, and that our
citizens need not be alarmed for his safety ;
neither need our police take any trouble in the
matter If what our correspondent states is
true, MIR. st. George is able to take care of him.

YELLOW FEVER IN New ORLENs.-The reports
from the Charity Hospital for several weeks past,
establish the undoubted fact that yellow fever to

cations Of epidemic invariably to be sought for In

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE Aims HOUSE,
I'VE gave slight sketch, few days ago, of the
proposed alterations to be made in this depart
ment of our city, as embodied in report drawn
up by a committee of the medical faculty of this
city, who were requested to consider the matter,
by the Committee on Aims and Charity. This
report, with some amendments, was finally
adopted by the Board of Aldermen, and sent
down to the Assistant Board. They, however,
have adjourned for a month without acting on it;
and thus, for the next six weeks at least, matters
at Bellevue will remain as they are.
We look upon thisas decidedly unfortunate for
the city, and we cannot comprehend what cause
can have so operated on the Common Council as
thus to delay making law of this most excel
lent report. The party papers are teemng with
examinations and recriminations regarding the
management of this department On all sides, it
seems to be admitted that confusion must ensue
when SO much labor is put or one mans shout
ders; and yet,whena scheme, which for the same
money as is now expended, will place the whole
hospitals proper footing, is put before the
Common Council, they look into it, acknowleda e
its merits, and after bringing it up to such a
point that half an hours work would complete
it, adjourn for month, laying it virtually on the
shelf!
There is no doubt that the whole institution
requires remodeling; indeed, the present resi-
dent physician, DR.. ID. M. Reese, who from ac-
tual observation must be better prepared to give
an opinion on the subject than others, was one
of the subcommittee of medical gentlemen who
drew up the report tor the proposed alterations,
and in the introduction to the report of that
mlttee, it is stated that they 'are thoroughly i'm
pressed with the vastness of the evils which at
present exist in the hospitals at Bellevue and
Blackwell's Island" and in speaking of the re-
port which he and his two colleagues drew up,
they state " that they believe it will bear the
scrutinizing investigation Of the Board, and I'M
der the existing state of affairs, will be found
practical in its application and benifcent in it's
issue"
Truly, the Common Council need no longer be
incredulous as to the necessity of this change,
when the very officers attached to the hospitals
are thus explicit in their condemnation of the
present mode of conducting them.
