[/VDYERTISEMENT.]

To the Editor of /lie New Zcalnvdpr. Sir, —Oui 4 attention was called to the Southern Cjoj>s of tlie 20th mst., and we were much bin prised to find the unjust and uncharitable reimuks winch tb.it paper contained respecting the young woraon who immigiali'd to tins Colony fioin England in the baKjuo Stately. But on finding that a paity connected with that papei, who, it is said, has gieat influence over it, was also a"ciit for the vessel, we of course undeistood thai he had become piejuJicod against us by the undeihand imputations of the Captain and Doctor. And as there lias been no exceptions made with regard to the character of any o( the young women, and we being without friends or means m a strange country, wo humbly request, in the name of chanty, that you will through your journal, allow us to convey to the public the following few lines in order to vindicate our cliaiacters against the foul and unmanly attacks that have been made upon us as a body, both by those of our own sex, —who (however unfit for the ofhee they have since proved to be) were placed over us by the benevolent ladies and gentlemen to whose kindness they, as well as ourselves, weio indebted (or a passage —and by other mteicsted paities hoie bince our ainvul. The Million and Sub-Matron, when under examination, made swooping accusations against us as a whole, although there weio many of us who never had to be reproved by them during the voyage. Aftei along statement of the writer's experience of other vessels and captains, he goes on to speak of tiie evidence given by Dr. IMuller, m the charge brought by Fanny iiarraclufl' against Captain Gmder for inhumanly gagging that girl under his own (the Doctor's) orders. Now, Sir, we appeal to any ono who was present at that trial whether Dr. Muller gave an unp.ntial evidence in the case or not' Was he not to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth 1 Has ho done so"? lie stated that the choius of a s>ong that gave him offence was " The Captain and Doctor may go to the for us." And was he not contradicted on that point by tho matron, the eubmation, and every other witness that was examined both for and against the Captain. Isut lot us now place bufoiethc public what were the ciime>, and the occasions on which thr-y weio committed, that kindled up the wi.uh and <hew down the united'vengeance of Captain Gindct and Doctor duller on the bead of .Fanny l>airaclufl,one of the youngest and most thoughtless of us all. On the sth of March we were passing the Equator, under the lays of a veiticil sun. Fanny asked a drink of water from Mis. Dyer, the sub-mntion, and was iciused. This girl then seemed a fcin.ill Leg of water and drank of it. Mis. Dyer "lat/ed andMui mcd> and b.iH shr> would have hei Licit up to the i/aid (urn." That was fho first ottonce, as stated in the couil by the witnesses; and the second and gieater oflence was as follows: — In order to dismiss melancholy thoughts, a few of the
