WINDSOR, MAY 23. VACCINATION. • I Yesterday being the Princess of Hum Monazites Birth-day, the morning was ushered in with the ringing of the Chutch bells j and a salute was fired in the Bachelors Acre on the occasion. Yesterday morning, the Foot Guards marched from the Foot Barracks to the Cavalry Barracks, where both the Regiments heard Prayers in the Barrack-suare, under the command of Major Ham sway of the Foot. and Colonel Vass of the Life Guards. Dr. CAsPest, a Prussian physician, having been de puted to ascertain the effect of Cove/-Pox on the general mortality of Prussia, has published the following as the result of his inquiries : 1. That the Small-Pox formerly carried off from one-twelfth to one-tenth of the whole population. 2. That of twelve children born at Berlin, one formerly died of Small-Pox ; and that now not more than one in sixteen die from the same cause. 3. That the diseases of infancy are more common than before the introduction of Vaccination, because a greater number of in fants live. 4. That these disease , formerly destroyed 39 in 100; at present not more than 34 in 100 die; so that before the introduction of Vaccination, 51 in 100 died, while at present only 45 in 100 die. That formerly the general calculation was of one death in every twenty-eight inhabitants; but that now it is not more than one In thirty-four. Advice's from Madras of the 29th January state, that 1.500 European and 3,000 native troops were under orders on the 15th to advance from Rangoon on Uth merapoora, the capital of the Birman Empire. Advices received f - rom Cadiz to the Ist instant, state the arrival there of the Spanish sloop of war Ynca, commanded by Lieutt nant HuLI, from Quilca, having on board many passengers belonging to the troops who capitulated to BOLIVAR. No individual . had, however, been suffered to land except the Captain, who had gone to La Is'a, and from thence it was be lieved to Madrid. No communication whatever was , suffered with the.vessel, and orders had been given to fire upon any one attempting to approach her. This has 'given cause to various alarming reports at Cacra, and it was apprehended that if the truth was published, a tumult would take place. A letter from Mexico, dated March 26, says: " Every day the internal state cf the country improves, and the lower classes are gradually returning to habits of in dustry. Silver from the different mines is now begin ning to find its way to the Mexitan and provincial mints, and our circulating medium is daily increasin g . Mr. Thompson, Mr. Harvey's late Secretary, is ap pointed British Commissioner at Guatimala : he leaves M.:xicu in a few weeks. Mr. Ward arrived yesterday; Mr. Alaman, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Esters,' Miager of Finance, are appointed by Congress to ar-' range, with him and Mr. Morier, the treaty of com merce. It is impossible to express the satisfaction given by the recognition of this country by England." Gazelles from Hobart-town, Van Diemen's Land, to the 24th of December, have been received at the New England Coffee-houte, but they contain few events of importance. A large brewery was about to be esta blished at Pittwater, which was likely to meet with en coor sgement—an essential service to - the colony, by in tioduring a cheaper beverage than the ardent spirits usually drank by the lower classes, and to which many of the excesses which took place among them were to be ascribed. Many severe losses had been experienced by the owners of flocks, through the depredations of eagles, so that it was necessary to provide the, shepherds with muskets loaded with buck-shot as a protection The colonists appear anxious to participate in the sports of the mother country, as we perceive a subscription has been raised among them for procuring a supply, of live game from England. Measures were taken to im prove the breed of horses in the colony, which had very much degenerated, owing to the want of means of pre-' venting them ranging at large and intermixing with the 'slid horses of the colony. A great scarcity of hemp and flax existed in Van Dieman's Land, that article being at the exorbitant price of 255. per lb. An extra ordi:eary number of small colonial craft had been em ployed in taking seals in the small islands in the straits which divide Van Diemen's Land from New &nth Wa!es, and had been very successful. The New Su -1)4 erne Court of Van Diemen's Land held its sittings re airly, but it appears to use extraordinary circum sprcti..n in making its decisions. The following - ii an extract from a letter from Port au-Ps ince : " A kw has passed tbe Chamber of Deputies, making landed _property liable, and allowing it to be sold, for the payment o debts: and from an understanding which exists between his Ex cellency the President and some of the leading Members of the Chamber, there is no doubt that the territorial duty on coffee and cocas will be reduced, sod the Patent Law sad tariff of Duties revised this Session." Such has been the mortality among theyoung lambs this Inshing season, in the county of Berks, that a dealer in lamb skins at w onstage, has putchascd up wird* of 30,000 skiais. HIGHTVAV ROBBERY. -....- e - • Yesterday, the followi rig account of a most outrageous robbery was gives by a woman n'ained Sarah ,Ailley, to Hall, the Chief Coastable of Union-hall Police-office, who immediately communicated it to . the Magistrates, L.B.ALLesandß.J.Ctrastaxas,Esqrs.Thewomari state.; ' that she recently resided at *ousharnpton, in the service n'of one Rock,and having her parents living in London - 1' e was anxious to join them, and • set out by way of ,Brighton,.where she had some relations living whom she was desirous of seeing, before she took up her abode in town. On Sunday morning lase, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, as she was pursuing her journey on foot, being alone and carrying a bundle which conta'ned all her clothes, she observed two sai lors lying in a ditch-by the road side between Ryegate and Croydon. She was about passing them, when one of the men called out, " it is a pity that you should have came from the fair ;" but being. a stranger she knew not what fair he alluded to, and also being desirous of avoiding all communication 'Kith them, she passed on. The man who had first spoken then said, 4 e D—n your eyes, this bundle belongs to us," pointing to that which she carried, and he having jumped up, seized it. She was conseque,ly greatly alarmed •at this outrageous conduct, and screamed out for assistance, but no per son was near, and the wretches both declared it s h ould be the worse for her if she made a noise. They then demanded her' money, and insisted upon her stripping ; she implored them not to take - away her clothes which she wore, non treat her person ill, and she would give them all her money, which amounted to seven sove reigns, half-a-crown, and a shilling. She gave them the money, but the ruffians insisted upon having her clothes, and they proceeded to put their threats into execution, and actually took off her clothes, leaving her in a state of nudity. One of them held a knife to her throat, and, with a dreadful imprecation, th r eatened to murder her if she made a noise; whilst the other brute stripped off her clothes. She was a considerable time thus exposed to their observations, but they did not abuse her per son. At'length one of them proposed to go away, say ing, that he - heard something coming, and they both jumped over the hedge by the road-side ;in a few ma ments they threw some of her clothes back to her, saying, that she deserved to be murdered for taking so much notice of them ; and they then ran away over the fields. She dressed herself in the clothes which were thus fur nished her, and walked along the road until she met a woman to whom she communicated the way in which she had been brutally treated. The poor woman kindly took her to her cottage, which was not very far distant, and gave her some refreshment: Having rested a short time, she took leave of the benevolent cottager, and came to town, which she reached that evening, but was unable to discover the residence of her parents, who lived somewhere in the neighbourhood of Smithfield. She was greatly distressed; and acquainted a woman, whim she met and conversed with in the streets, of the extraordinary circumstances above narrated, and was, advised to acquaint the Magistrates of Union Hall with them, which she accordingly did. She was taken into a private room, and examined minutely as to the facts of the robbery ; and her story, although • singular, was considered perfectly consistent. Hall was afterwards dispatched to Croydon, having received a full descrip tion of the two sailors, one of whom is represented to be a middle-aged man, and the other more advanced in life—in the full expectation of being able to trace and apprehend the offender,. . On the evening of St. Andrew's Day last, a small party of Scotsmen sat down to an excellent dinner in the British Hotel, Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land. The evening was spent merrily and heartily ; and every justice was done to the favourite toasts of their country, nor did the eater patria lead thein to forget the land of their adoption, but the " Prosperity of Tasmania" was the signal to empty many a rosy bumper. About four o'clock on Sunday afternoon a riot took place in the neighbourhood of St. George's-road, Man chester, in which a considerable number of Irishmen were concerned. It arose, it seems, from circumstances of the most trivial nature, and at any other time would have passed over without exciting any particular interest ; but occurring at the present juncture, it gave rise to the most ridiculous rumours : one sf which was, that the Irish Catholics bad risen in a body. and were murdering indiscriminatelyalitheProtestantswho came in their way. Sunday morning, some fellows broke into the house of J. Kamm, Esq. of Doughty-street. which they robbed of plate, &c. to a large amount • and finding some wine, brandy, &c. on the sideb oard, they re tired with it to the stable, where they regaled them selves unmolestedly. Tuesday evening last, as Mr. PENNITATHEIT, a far mer, residing at Amwell, was returning home from Ware, he fell into the New River, and was drowned ; the b ody was not found for some hours afterwards. Not long since, a servant was sent froth the West end of the town to obtain change at the Bank of England for a 401. mote. Relying on the accuracy of the clerks, he took what they gave him without counting it ; bat, on his return home, found he had got 501. instead of 401. Notwithstanding the distance and inconvenience, he lost not a moment in returning to the Bank, and on representing the matter to the person who had served him, the latter took back the 101. but, instead of rewarding the servant for his fidelity, or even thanking him, contented himself with rating him pretty soundly for his carelessness in not counting the money when he received it ! • A specimen of a peculiar kind of cotton, the growth , of Colombia, has been recently exhibited at Savannah. It was obtained near Bogota, and is said to be of an extremely soft and perfectly silky texture and glossy appearance, of a short staple and dark or dingy co-1 lour. It grows on a tree of considerable height, dif ferent from our plant. The cotton gr ows round the seed, in something like the shape of a pine-apple, so that when picked it requires no ginning. The Indians woik it into shawls, &c. and a quantity has been sent to France, for the purpose of ascertaining whether it cannot be incorporated in the manufacture of silk goods. A Gentleman of Striven County, Georgia, has planted some of the seed, by way of experiment. DUTY ON Doos.—Official notice has been issued to the assessors and parish officers in several districts by the Commissioners of Taxes—that every person, not ceditipt according to Act of Parliament, must perempto rily make entries of all dogs either kept by them, or by lodgers, or belonging to other individuals. The only persons exempt are farmers renting less than 1001 per annum, whe are allowed to keep al dog tree frem duty (the sane not being of the descripuon used for killing game), and poor peasous who obtain a certificate ►horn the parish officers. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The Loan Maims yesterday receixolseveral letters from den. tlemen, who had placed their bills in the bands of Ogilvie alias Wil son, who has been dealing so extensivelyin bills. One of his Led. ship's correspondents. a respectable solicitor of Daventry,ame man- stated. that a client of his had b een taken by Ogilvie in the s ner as Mr. Woolard, with, however, this difference in favoui of Mr. Woolard, that the bill of the former was seat into &admits,' and the acceptor actually proceeded against for the recovery of - the amount, X.lOO. The Solicitor requested the co-operatiOn of Mr. Woolard, and expresst-cl a confident hope that he should be able to convict Ogilvie, who is certaidly t'be Wilson whose name has al ready appeared. Mr. Woolard came to the Justice 7 room, and mentioned to the Lord Mayor, that one of the parties, finding that the s y stem of de ception bad been exposed, offered him the sum of .8300, with which to take it up, but he would not consent to do so until his Lordship was consulted. • The Loan Malmo advised him not to touch a shilling of the money, as the person who made the proposition, no doubt, intended to arrest him the moment the bill was taken up, and bad a witness ready to prove that the money had been borrowed. The Loan limos is now in possession of the names of all the principal persons connected with the gang. Two poor women applied to, 1&so Mavoa for advice. .One of them stated, that they had- jo int ly occupied the first floor of a house in Angel-alley, Hisbopsgate-street, and had•pundually paid their rent weekly, but that the tenant under whom they occupied the floor had failed, and the landlord of the house had seized his pods for the rent, which being insufficient he had seisechheirs alto, and left them without a bed to lay upon. His Lordship said, be felt for their case, but could render them no assistance, as• the landlord was authorised by law to act as he had done—he ream mended them to apply to the Parish Officers upon the subject. - GUILDHALL. guru sr. Ma:ix—This was an information filed against the de fendant, charging that he bad sold in his house, on the Sth of March, four glasses of elderberry wine, without being licensed. This case first came on for hearing about a month ago, when Mr. Adolphus. for the defendant, took an objection, that a common informer could not sue for the penalty, but that all complaints must be made by the Attorney-General, or some Revenue Officer. Upon this ques tion the opinion of Mr. Attorney-General has since been taken, who, having decided that a common informer may sue under the circumstances of this case, Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Butler (Mr. Harmer's Clerk) attended to conceit ;he liability of Mr. Malin. and Messrs. Hendrick and Humphreys to support it. 1 Mr. BSODRSCE failed to make out his case because the aver ment that elder wine was a British made wine Was not proved in evidence. To a second information, Mr. ADOLPHUS started a new difficulty, that the information charged merely the selling of the elder wine in the house, which the 4 Racise license would cover, in however small quantities, and not the drinking of the wine therein, which, it seems, was the offence intended to have been charged. After a lengthy and unusually dry argument on this point, Mr. City Solicitor and the Alderman retired into the parlour to considet thejudgment. The point, however, proved so knotty, that judg ment was deferred sine HOW-STREHT. Yesterday, 11/. Siew was charged with forcibly taking a reticule from the person of Mary Haywood. The prosecutrix stated that on Monday night, between eight and nine o'clock, she was walking along Bedford-street in her way home, when she was accosted by the prisoner, who asked her where she I was going ? She replied home : and at that same time the prisoner snatched her reticule out of her hand, containing bet handkerchief and 3s. 6d. and ran off. She pursred,overtook hint, and held hits by the collar till one of the watchmen came up and conveyed him to Covent-garden watch-house. The watchman corroborated the latter part of the prosecutrix's account, and produced a reticule containing the property above de scribed, and which the prosecutrix identified. The prisoner saki nothing, and was remanded till Friday. Ilii &aII:LA-BONN& Two country lads of the names of Madman and Sawyer were brought before Mr, Houma, about a week ago, charged with stealing fowls. They were remanded till yesterday, when, for went of sdielent evidence they were discharged. Previous to their leaving the Once, M r. Moffett, the Chief Clerk, having learned that they had been crut4ly treated at the New Prison, and having communicated the facts to Mr. Hostuars, he was requested by the Magistrate to take down their evidence, and forward it to the proper quarter, for the purpose of having it laid before the Visiting Magistrates. According to Gladman's evidence, be was sent to the New Prison, on the 13th of this month, and passed the first night in the receiving-house without any cause of complaint. Next night -he was put into the felons' ward. After be was in best,, he was astonished to find some one lay hold of his feet and drag him from the bed in the dark, and then perceived a crowd of prisoners col. fated about him. They did not give him much time to ask ques tions ; one of them immediately attacked him with a rope's sod, and continued to beat him with it severely for some time. On Ms. raking their reason for such treatment, they said it was only:a/46e ....iii other words, a sort of welcome which they commonly granted to a new corner. They took the seine method of bidding him farewell : the stight . previous to his leaving the prison, he underwent the same ordeal; it was repeated next morning ; and he believed their reason for giving bias a double •portion of ft was, that they apprehended he would be susnoved in the man* before they could have an opportunity of biddies bin lies. Others were treated in the same way. Belksird a pile plinalber resting most violently for a lung time, while " Imi.was being goesed." A person of the name of George acted as executioner; and Jobn Hawk's, who was there " for a handkerchief," pres id ed ; this person was called the wardsman , a sort of Joseph, o Obtained the su s called of his ward on account of his good behaviour. When a rope's end was not at hand, they tied a few pence in the corner of a handkerchief; and used it as such. The other lad was treated in the sane manner, and his evidence was nearly to the same effect. Yesterday, three men of the names of Details Conner, Also Giilii wig, and Jobs lately, were brought up' under a strong escort, from the Paddington watch-house, charged. with being concerned in a most outrageous and alarming affray: in the lidgeware road. owthe preceding evening. Their opponents were navigators, and the quarrel originated in the Irishmen.hiking a noise in their native' language while the navigators were singing at a public-house. bi the fight some of the latter were very,dangerously wounded, and conveyed to the hospitaL—Ordered to give 24 hours notice of bail. MA RLBOROU G &ST REET. James Coins, coachman to Lady Limbed, was yesterday &amid a with violently driving his coach into- die Court-yard of Burlington House, during Lady GeorgeCavendisk's Rout,to the injury, of ' carriages, and knocking down Dawkins, the constable , w hale was broke by the wheel passing over it. The poor fellow Wait ried to an hospital upon a shutterond there being some. • • in finding men to match to carry it, the Hon. C. Cavelidisij,iftr, his infinite honour, cheerfully bore part of the burden the where elf the way to the HospitaL The prisoner• was ordered to be kept in ens. tody until it shall be ascertained whether the life of Dawkins is in danger. Much praise is•due to the Earl of Westmoreland (who witnessed the outrageous affair), through whose persevering aunt , don alone the offender was discovered amidst the crowd of carriages. The demolition of York House, St.James'e,.is almost completed, the house is nearly levelled with the stir rounding garden. RIADING, MAT 2l.—The current report that Parlia ment will certainly be dissolved during the present year, has created a variety of speculations as to the Gentlemen who are likely to be returned for this Bo rough at the consequent General Election. Two Can didates have already commenced canvassing the town, but they have not yet made the Public acquainted with more than their general principles. One of these Gen tlemen is Sir FREDRRICR, HIENNIICIR, Ban. of Dunmow, in Esse:. In point of politics. he professes himself to be of loyal, but strictly independent, principles—a staunch supporter of the Constitution of these Realms, and an admirer of the general conduct of the present Ad m inis.ration. The other Gentleman who offers himself as a Candidate, is EDWARD WAKRYIRLD, Esq. Of this Gentleman's agricultural, commercial, and statistical knowledge the highest character is given. In regard to political feelings, Mr. WAILEFIRLD avows himself triencfly to the existing Institutions of the country, and an admirer of the great and leading features in the 'conduct of the prt sent Administration.

Epsom had terminated, some of the Fatty met to arrange matters fur a display of pugilistic science an.f . enur rage between Young Gas and Gaytwr. It was proposed that Issue Spring, Oliver, Holt, Jens Ward, &c. should collect the Sidils.ti, who were successful in obtaining' about £29, to he given to the v tor. A very good ring was wide before the Grand Stead, rope! having been brought from town for the purpdse. Scroggins, Hudx son, Whiteheaded Bob, Spercer, Gypsy Coopers, Young Dutclr Sam, &c. gave their assistance towards keeping out the spectator./ from too near an approach to the ropes, and we never saw a Vs; bee., tercondueted. Young Gas first made his appearance in the arena, when Holt and Dick Curtis proceeded with a pair of scissors to re move the decorative curls and superfluous hair chat adorne4 his nob, when Holt, who is a great phrenologist, discovered the organ of " courage and perseverance" in his favourite, whom he seconded, with Dick Curtis. Gaynor was well seconded by Jem Ward and Tom Oliver. Both men fought without shoes. . Seventy-two rounds were fought, witb alternate adv enrage to each, until nearly the close of the contest. Young Gas, in the early rounds, made most of the play—he tried it on strongly again and again, and Woutd not be denied, though Gaynor was the heavier, and by far the more scientific man. In the tenth round, Gas seat his opponent down with a nobber, like a shot from a !4-pounder. From the 90th to the 49th round, Gaynor seemed to have the best of it, especially of the falls; yet it was wonderful how soon Gas seemed to recover his wonted gaiety. Gas was the favourife tilt the Sod round, when he received a tremendous iluorer---•• alt U. P." was shouted on all sides. Gaynor took the lead in a fiNr of the subsequent rounds; but he had not the stamina of Ca., though he had as muck pluck; and, in the . 7241 round, his second* gave in for him. Ile was dreadfully punished, and led off the ground by Ward and Oliver, after being kept close to work for au hour. and a half.—Gas will certainly take the lead of all the men of his weight as soon as be obtains a little more science and self-pos session. He is rightly named Young Gas, for his notions of the ,points that contribute to obtaining the pahn, scent to be prectkety those discovered by pow' Hickman. This was as honest and cou- - rageous a battle as ever was witnessed. SPARRING AT THE FIVES' COURT. There was an excellent day's play yesterday, at the Fives Court,. for the benefit of an old Historian of the Ring ; but, although the' performances were of the first order, the attendance of theFaxey was but thin. The principal attraction was a set-to between Spring, the ex-champion and George Cooper, who exhibited the art of self- - defence in the highest perfection, and drew down thunders of ap plause. The other candidates for fame were Lennox and Wyatt, Jones and Young, Josh Gybletts and Spencer, Ned Brown and West Country Dick, Holt and °aver, and Reidie and Mahony. Movasnares or eon Row.—Reidie bas been matched against the' Cambridge Yettih, for £25 a-side, to fight on the same day with Casper and Bob. Savage and Lock will fight for £25 a side, on the first day of Ascot Races. The third deposit for the fight between Cooper and Bob will be made this evening, at the Hercules Pillars, Great Queen-street. Ram AND Jnas.—This fight, which is appointed to take place on Moodapisext, between Oxford and Cheltenham, excites a good deal of interest in the sporting world. Tont Cribb and Clarke ate' going down to second Jubb, who is backed by persons high in the' Cheltenham fancy. DICE Curtis AND Wasettu.—These men met at Cribb's yester day, when the umpire decided that Curtis ►hould receive .e2O of the purse which was collected at Epsom. Warren having declined to continue the fight, and his second, Aby &lane. having stated• that he admitted Dick to be the best man there was a surplus of Z 4 7s. which was given to Warren. Warren stated that his friends were ready to make a match for him with Curtis for £5O a-side. Dick expressed his hopes that Warren would not be disappointed. , as he was ready at a moment's warning to post the needful. A letter from Hamburgh, of the 14th, an inunces the arrival of the Minerva, PArrenson, and the Bartholomo, MILLER, from Alexandria, with E L , 9) . tian cotton. Both the .e vessels were immediately or dered into strict quarantine in the harbour at the mouth of the Elbe. The cargoes are to be entirely unloaded, and the bales opened and aired. A general alarm appears to prevail at all the ports of the Continent, in consequence of the proposed relaxation of the qua rantine laws by this country. The Jesuits have for some years past maintained a ' constant correspondence, and a well concerted, and well executed system of intrigue and excitement throughout Ireland, and also in Lancashire: In that county, as it it asserted and believed in France, all th&r records and valuable documents were preserved, until a recent period. Saturday se'nnight, Mr. WilliaM Hollyer, butcher. Union-street, Maidstone, confined in the County Jail for debt, was informed by one of the turnkeys that his wife had called to see him, and was waiting in the vi siting-room. He proceeded thither, and entered the room, but on approaching to salute his wife, his h.tal sunk upon her shoulder, and he instantly expired. CONJUGAL Airecrims.--Sunday se'nnight, an old partition in the Old Town, Limerick, which had •been for a long time in a menacing condition, tumbled on s' a happy pair" under the presidency of Somnus. For tunately, as the husband thought, the greater part:<ame on the 4 4 gude wife," and ai he considered she hid de pasted 46 to the land o the Leal," with becoming de votion he knelt down, and fervently ej fculaed— se Mary, dear, - wherever I make out a coffin for you, the Loan be praised you're dead!" To his utmost con fusion, he was however startled with a response of "Oh ick,"—when the neighbours coming in, relieved the r woman, and after some attention, so far recovered her as to afford the affectionate spouse every prOspect of another opportunity..of exercising his devotion. ~~ BIRTH.
