Mr, Trumron said—I have, rir, to state that very few of the subscription books bave coms in so far, and in come qnence the list is not eomple's: but there has been about ix thousand dollars rubdscrited op to this moment, and that without any effort at all.

CAPT. CRIGHTON ON 'CHANGE. Capt. Crighton, of the Three Bells, # fine looking man, after much importunity, appeared on ’Change yesterday, ‘end was most vociferously cheered, receiving three times three rounds of applause. This did not satisfy the mer- chants and others—they wished him to mouat the stand so that a!l could see him. This he modestly resisted, until he was taken perforce, Col. James Lee leading him, and others assisting, until he was mounted om the stand, when he umzovered and bewed politely to the multitade, who again gave a shout of three additional cheers, The gallant captain seemed too much overcome for utteranes, and again bowing in ackmowle¢gment of the compliments paid him, retired from the stand in company with Col. Lee. There was a great rush to shake him by the hand. A dense crowd surrounded him, and were most happy to give his hand a cordial shake. Among others who sp proached him were some of our oli respectable aad re- tired sea captains, now engaged as merchants or in other pursuits along shore, and who gave his hand agrip which only nailcrs know how to give each other, CEREMONIES AT GRACE CHURCH, BROOK- LYN, FOR THOSE SAVED FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO. An invitation was yeateriay extended to the oficers of the Third Artillery and their families who were saved by the bark Kilby from the wreck of the Sam Francisco to assemble at Grace Church, Brooklyn, to offer up their united thankagiving for their safe deliverance from death, At 1034 o’clock, the hour appointed for the commenee- ment of the ceremonies, there had assembled not a very large audience, owing to the inclement atete ot the wea- ther. There were present abou! one hundred ladies and about a dozen gentismen; most of them were members of the church and residents of Brooklya, and very few ap’ peared to be ef the unfortuuate body who suffered on the San Francisco. The Rey. Mr Cooper was not present. The ceremonies were commenced by singing the Te Deum, after which the prayers were read prefatery tothe communion. The choir then chanted the 107th Psalm, accompanied by the audience, as follows:— ‘ks uni sone Lord: m give thanks, whom the Lord hath ri delivered from the hand of the enem ‘And gatbered them out of the Tends, from the east, and from the west, from the north and from bhe They wen: as ray in the wilderness out of tne way, and found no city to dwell in.

By ap un/ortanate misspprehensi:n, « very large num- ber who were anxious to be present at the ceremony sup- pored that it was to take place at Grace Church in thia city, and acoordingly several hundred people visited the latter place, and to their great dissppoiatment were in formed of their error. THE SICKNESS ON BOARD THE SAN FRANCISCO. Prrvsrmp, Mars., Jan. 16, 1864, TO THE EDITOR OF THR HERALD, Absence from the city alone has prevented my sooner noticing & statement which -appeared in several of the morning papers of Sa'urday, in reference to the sickness on board the San Francisco efter the wreck. Iwas at the time the medical officer of the San Fran- ciseo, and after the departure of the two army surgeons, Meters. Satterlee and Weston, in the Kilby, I was the only medical man on board durisg the entire period of the siok- ness, The entire obarge of the sick consequently de- volved on me, I take it upon me to affirm that the state- ment is entirely erroreous. I do this, in the first place, decacee it is untrue in point of fact; and in the second, because {i is unjust to the memory of those unfortunates who perished under etreamatances of awfal distress—sel- dom paralleled, perbape never rurpasned. It is stated that the sickness was caused by dissipation and glattony, by exeessive indulgence is preserved fraits and meats, and in rpiritoous Hquore. Sach was, proba- bly, the opinion of those making the statement. It must have been based upon s very partial knowledge of the real etroumstances of the cane The true cause of the fatal and distressing sickness which broke ont im the Sam Francisco on the sixth or seventh day of the wreck, was identical with the cause of mortality in our emigrant ships, only more intense in de- gree. Listen to » true statement of the facts :— Previous to the storm, four hundred soldiers had been berthed on the main deck. After it, al! exsept the one bundred and twenty-five washed overboard, were driven below, and being added to those already there, made an aggregate of five hardred men, womea ‘end childrea, crammed into quariers pever designed for more than two hundred. ‘The sickners, which was esventially malignast cholera, was most fatal in the seootd cabin, ooeupied by sol: diers families. This apartment was arranged as follows: — On both sides of a central space, about ten feet in width, wore arranged & kind of alooves twelve feet in depth’ athwart ship. Eaeh aloove contsived twelve marrow berths, tix on a wide, im two tiers of three berths each—the foot of ome berth to the head of another, A passage jast sufficient to pass betwees. Each aloove bade large airport which in good weather would have afforded sufficient ventilation, Not ome was opened during the entire period, or could have been, witheut sinking the ship. Those alooves formed perfect culs de sac, Here amorg women and children the cholera ocm- meneed. They had never seen or tasted preserved meats or fraits, On this point I made the most particular in- quiries, Their food had been hard bread avd 0-11 water. Tt was all we bad to give them, except that some mixed vinegar or molasnee with the water. These alooves after the first day or two were filled with the sick, dying and dead. The atmosphere was such that I felt 1: to be at the risk of my life every time I entered them. These undortunates could not leave their berths to attend to the ordinary calls of mature, The result eam be better imagined tham described. We have here them im opera- Won, exesesive overcrowing and soogmulated Sith, witkou ventilation, bed air, meag:e and insufficient diet. Add to these the strong influence of moral causes—all the depressing parsion—fear, anxiety, agony of miai. bel! we look any further? Not ene im ten of the viclima tonohed or tasted pre- terved meats or fruits; ant in those whe did thoy were but the spark whieh igaited the train. Let meoadd that everyeffort was made to cleanse aud purity these places, but in the existing state of things it wes morally impossible, Famigations of eoffee, sugsr, vinegar, &o., when hot coals were resorted to—but there, though they may relieve urpleasant odors, canaot con+ vert an impure atmosphere into » healthy one. By giving publicity to these statements you will do an act of simple justiee, and oblige, Yours, &s., WM. P, BURL, M. D., Surgeon late atr. San Francisco, TO THE EDITOR OF THE MSRALD. Naw Your, Jan, 16, 1854 Thaveancther incidect to mention in coanection with the San Francisco which I think deserves to be placed on record. On the 9th inst., ten or eleven days after we let the wreok of the ill fated steamer im the bark Kilby, Osptain Lowe deseried a ship undor full sail. Ho immediately di played bis signal, union down, and pet on all sail for the ship. He then Isanche his boat and pulled towards the stranger, 60 far inceed that he could notjbe seen from the decks of the Kilby; bat still tiie ship pressed om, re gerdiess of our fate, Oo the retura of Captain lowe, Major Merchant asked him ifte thought the etranser could vee bis email boat? “Yes,”’; replied Captain Lowe, “gud I would gives hundred dollars to know what ship ab ia.’ Captain Lowe, of the Kilby, is» young jman, and this wes bis first voyage a3 captain.
