By a slieht al teration of the original plan, the persous on the back seats of the boxes nest the stage will have a full view of more than tluee-fourths of the stage, the proscenium springing from the back, instead of the front of the boxes, as in other theatres. B: aides these advantages, all the great (boys of the Theatre are so formed and put up, that the event of their being closed, in case alarm, when at crowd nay he pressing towards them flow within and it nugitt be impossible to open teem inwards, the very pressure from within will ne,ke the frames revolve upon an axis, anti tirrow the doors wide open to the outside. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. An interesting occurrence took place at Folkingbam on Tuesday evening sennight —A poor woman, who had obtained a passobillet to vinain there all night, was sitting by the tire of the kitohesi of the Greyhound Lni, with an infant child at her breast, when two CfitMNEY swr Les came in, who bad been engaged to sweep some vt the climinew s belonging to. the inn early next motling. They were, accord.ng to custom, treated with a supper,. which they had tr:glin to eat, when the y. urger, a boy about seven years of age; happening to . . cast his eyes up n the wontaniwbo had been likewise viewing them w;th a.lixed attention from their first entrance) started up, and ex iffnel in a frantic tone—" THAT'S MT mo•rnsii !" and immediately fi:-w into her arm.; ! It appeared that leer name is Mary Davis, and tiuit is the 'cite of a p•ivate un the 2d regiment of Foot Guards , n.,Ar serving iiithe Peninsula ; she resides in Westminster; her husha:‘ti t:uitted her to embark to foreign service on the 20th of last Tai nary, and on the 2.Sth of the same month she lett her son in th • care or a woman who cccupted the t out rooms of her honer, While she went to wash for a family in the nelghbouthoo.l ; on her re urn in the tvenirtg, the 'woman had decamped with her son, and, not withstanding every effort was made to di .cower th it retreat, they had riot binCe been heard of; but having lately been intormed that the woman was a native of Leeds, she had come to the resolution of Om,► there in search of her child, and with this vi, w had walked fr:m I•nndon to FolkinOam. (10 4 3 miles), with an infant not mole than silt weeks old in her arms. [lie boy's master , r.teit, that about t. , e latter end of last January he met a woman and boy in the vicinity of Aleaf , rd, where he resides; she appeared verve ra l ,ged, and other wise much diatrsirad, and was at that..tisne besting, the boy most se- ..., SEPT. 6. verely ; she then accos , ed him (the master), saying she was 111 ~;eat distie4;s; and a long way from home, and atter s:-me Wilber nary conversation, said, it he ‘vould give her two guineas to eiibl.! her to get twine, she would bind her son apprentice to him ; this pr o _ posal was agreed to, and the boy was regularly ..ndentured, the woman having previously made atliiavit as to being h:s own nit4her. .1 i vs testimony was corroborated by the boy himself; but as no tioni)t re mained in th! mind cr . any one re.peLting tl:e boy's HLAL inoti;,;r, 11 s master, wilh;,ut farther ccreitiory, resibiled turd to tier. „,_ iiatti!.lllt7i tiWalt;eIVCS Iftfy hirinaue:y in the poor veonian's t, b y . )1 old p irng tier coaCo.tair back. t..)

St R,—lf no aoswer is given to the Cow-Pox queries in your paper, it tiny be conjectured that no answer coil be givcti Dr. JENN ER has been ur:le..ted with so many ivate and public addresses about the inoculatiou of his own son, that be has published hi: reasons f)r it, sayiqg that a t .;cnileman who had ju,t visited c. patient foil of Small pox,took his boy up a;:d kissed it, this so al.o ivied Mrs. J EN N Eli that, having no vacciuc matter by him, he the child the next day inoculated for Small-pox, which was full- , wed by the usual success. Now, whether the fears of the husband or of the wife were the immediate cause of the aer, is not material, but to keep the act such a profound secret for ten years, and then to feel so ashamed of i:, as to pre ' varicate for a whole year after the accusation before the truth was confessed, is a circumstance which yet remains to be explained ; and how it happened that 0r..11.. NNER himself could procure no Cow-pox lymph at Cheltenham, when it is notoriously known that a friend's child w..is vaccinated the same day his child was inoculated, is another as inexplicable a matter. I have watched the proceedings of both parties, I have been, I confes4, surprised that the anti-vaccinists should he so feeble in numbers, while circumstances and facts were every year confirming their opinions, for, notwithstanding the reports of all the medical colleges, and the information received from the Continent and distant parts, the opinions of the mass of people in this metropolis seem to have been strongly against the experiment, and every year the college has been obliged to confess that the assertions of the anti -1 %acclaims were in sonic degree realized. The destruction of the Jennerian Societies, the enquiries of Parliament, and the desertion of Dr. JENN ER from the post Mr. ROSE had appointed him to occupy in the national establishment, ale. enough to prove the weakness and fallacy of the practice. With regard to the personal attack on a Mr. BURNETT, whom I .only know by reputation, 1 need only answer, that the labourer is worthy of his hire, and if, as it is said in the parish of Mary le-bone, he has inoculated upwards of 8000 persons successfully, he entirely refutes the calculations of 1 the college of physicians, and sands next in reputation to the SUTTONS and the Dr MSDALES. , . Certainly, I would rather trust such a practitioner with the care of my child, than any Cow-pox pretender, who had no experience in inovulation ; for if Mr. Bu ANET.T is not a person of science and deep learning , his p ractice in inoce ,i lation evinces there is more in observation - than in theory ; l for the college overlooking the theory of SYDENti AM, smothered two-thirds *of their - patients tor More than a century, and none of the faculty ever understood the mat ter t:II the astonishing success of the SUTTON'S alarmed the illuminati of Medicine.' ! Since the subject is srought forward in your paper, I will beg leave to remark, Sir, that the report said to be printed by order of . ..the Rouse Of Commons, is produced this yeAr THE NATIONAL REGISTER.
