O UT of evil, It Is fald, fometimes fprlngeth 

 good : and I feel affured that you will agree 

 with me, in confidering the adage verified, 

 when I tell you, that the repeated delays to 

 which we have been fubjedled have proved 

 the means of completing our party, by coo- 

 verting our harmonious trio into a ftill more 

 foclal quartette : — a circumftance which has 

 happened from our being joined by Dn 

 Cleghorn, who is now arrived, at this place, 

 on his way to join the St. Domingo hofpital 

 flafF. He is a pleafant, well-informed man, 

 and of good profeffional abilities ; — is brother 

 to the profeffor of anatomy at the Univerfity
