ST. GEORGE, BERMUDAs.-T'he correspondent
Of the Baltimore Sun, on board the steamship
Allegheny, gives the following account of that
vessels entrance and stayat ST. George, Bermudas :;
g We entered the port of St. George, in the Ber-
mudas, to the perfect delight Of the good people.
II happened that we were the first u. S. war yes
sci that within the recollection Of the oldest in
habilant, had ever entered there, and more than
this that her Majestys steamers vessels Of smaller
size than the Allegheny, had been inhibited by an
order Of the Government not 10 make st. George
their depot, because Of the alleged want of water
The unexpected appearance Of large and long
American steamer, asionished even those of the
St. Georgians who for years had maintained that
snch vessels could safely enter their harbOr, and
this practical illustration Of the truth Of their
reasoning, gave them unbounded joy Il had Just
the contrary effect upon the good people Of Hamil
ton, who had for years maintained the opposite,
their interest being different, and who consoled
Themselves by saying that mo one but Yankee
sailor would think Of going into St. George Il is
a fixed fact however, that pretty considerably
good sized Yankee ship can enter that harbor,
and more than that ii is really the easiest Of access
Of any harbor in the group.
O. We were entertained while at St. George by
the officers of the celebrated 42d Regiment Of ROyaI
Highlanders, under command Of Col. McDougall,
and by the Royal Artillery and Engineers, Col.
Andrews, N the most hospitable manner. merely
mention this to show, that whatever may be our
feelings of rivalry, in no instance during our
cruise, have we been met by the officers Of the
British Navy or Army, save with the wamest
feelings, respect and hospitality Capt. Pitcairn,
Adlutant Of the AID, came passenger 18th us. He
Intends making tour Of the States.'
