Mr. EDITOR, As you profess to be impartial on the subject of Vaccination, I am, therefore, induced to ring .Thrward the - declaration - from the - Master of the Surgeons' College, - as the Report of the Covr-pox Eitablihment ; that the Bond has received such information, from the different parts of the 'Em pire, as :to convine' it, the flourishing state of Vaccination. is not only increasing ih all parts of these .kingdoms, but is rooting away the unjust prejudices which had been formed against it.— Now, Sir, although the case of Miss Morris can not be denied, although the several cases in a let- • ter signed L, of the 26th June may be proved' by the Physicians; therein named, and although the accounts from Mr. Brown, of Musselburgh, from Paris, Brussels, and our West India Islands, may be true, yet this declaration delivered viva core, not printed as heretofore by the House of -Com mons, stands foremost to be credited beyond all proof to the c4trary, and to satisfy us that 30001. a year ought to be voted for the salutary security of his Majesty's liege subjects. We must therefore suppose that the bad arms, the eruptions, and the fatal consequences, proved to have arisen from spurious-Cow-pox, by theßeport of the College of Surgeons, arxio 1806, are entirely put a stop to by the genuine Lymph ; and that Mr. Morris's -family is so prone to disease, that probably they may all have the Sinall-pok two.or three times more, as likely as Miss Booth. " But to•be•serions, Mr. Editor, I do -appeal to the better informed pare of the Faculty, to theex perience of the Apothecary of the Sinall-pox Hos pital, to the common sense of the common peo ple of this 'Metropolis, to the flight of the disco verer from it, the non-existence of the• several contending Cow-pox Institutions, and to the sad afflictions - of many a mournful parent, whether this, Report stands for any thing better than an hearsay evidence, and can be admitted to' contro vert thepoittive !natters of fact set forth in your paper within- the last twelve months. It really does not .seern satisfactory evidence enough to transfer the savings • from the Widows' Pensions .to the College of Physicians, and the Surgeons have received douceuri enough to bribe. them to take an honest part, in a matter where the public welfare is so materially concerned. The truth_ of the matter may be suffered to rest on this simple question, _ _ Will those eminent Practitioners, who in the year 1800 signed hn advertiSement in The. Morning Herald, stFaing, ." - that those persons Who have had the • Cow . -pox are perfectly , secure from the infection of the Small-pox, &c." -- place their names to the same advertisement at this present period ? • . Nothing but a conviction of their error can prevent their s repeating the advertisement ; arid if men of such talents s have been led into error by ignorant and designing persons, they should come forward on such an occasion as this, and not suffer the public purse to be abused, foy the propa gation, instead of the extermination of diSease. I will henceforth, Mr. Editor, be , attentive to this subject, and through the channel of your Paper communicate to the public a short account of what comes to my notice, and Some comments on the prejudiced . manner in which the Cow-po. Board conduct the business. I have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, lioSicsrus. -July 17th, 1812. Two more French Officers have broken thgir parole. Lieutenant-Colonel COLLOMBELL and Captain FLAMAND, who had been allowed to re side at Abergaveuny, disappeared from thence on Mondav last, and have not-since been heard of. The Germans who served under PHILIPPON at Badajoz, and who have since volunteered into the German Legion, obtained last week permis sion to go -out in search of him. They bear great hatred to PHILIPPON, who, they say, treated them with great harshness and indignity. - The Spitfire sloop of war recently detained; near the French coast,. a vessel under suspicious circumstances, called the Maria Justina, belong ing to 'Weymouth. Some French prisoners who had effected their escape after breaking their parole; it is conjectured, had been landed from Inn Workmen are now employed in driving piles along the banks of the Pasin,' at the top of the Green Park, preparatory to giving it a broader border. This will be a great improvement, as the bank, being of loose gravel, is constantly Crum bling-away, and gives the margin a, ragged appear ance. We trust, however, that the new boarded margin will be graduated, for if it be an ObliqUe plane, any person falling accidentally into the basin would find it very difficult to get out. Oh Tuesday a Cricket-match was played• be tween the Gentlemen of Eton College, and the Gentlemen of Riekmaniworth, in the Shooting fields of Eton College, which 'was won by the ,Gentleinen of the latter, by 62 runs. On Wednesday a rowing -match 'tholc place,. which excited considerable interest, between Mr, LUMILY'and Mr. GRAHAM, from Windsor Bridge, by Clewer Point, and back to the Bridge, for 160 guineas a side, which was won by Mr. LtiautY. On Thursday another rowing-match took place. over the •sameslistance, betreen Mr. PONSONBY and Mr. GRAHAM, for' 100 guineas, which was won by Mr. GRAHAM. A number of pleasure boats, with genteel parties v. - ere attracted, and' the scene was truly delightfhl, Lieutenant _Colonel BARCLAY, of the Kincar dine Local Militia, of pedestrian celebrity, backed himself with Captain D. of the same corps, to run nine miles within "the hour, on Thursday, the 9th, being by agreement within 48 hours af ter the wager was taken. • The first seven miles was.done in 49 minutes, when he stopped and took a tea 7 cupful of vinegar and wine ; fie again started, and after running 11 mile, the hour was declared out; and the match lost, by 34- minutes. On the same day, Captain D. undertook to drive his gig 16 miles within the hour, carrying 34 stone, besides the weight of the chaise, which he could easily have accomplished, had not the car riage broke down.

This was an action which had excited much interest among.. the members of dissenting religious persuasions. It was at the instance of a Presby terian society, Who claimed certain lands and pre mises at East Kirkstead, Woodhall, Timberland, Langton, and Martin, in this county, and what they called a " messuage," but which was proved on the trial to be nothing less than the parish church of East Kirkstead, to.which they set up a claim under the following circumstances. The proprietor and-Lord'of the Manor of Kirkstead,' was formerly a gentleman of a respectable family named Disney, who, being a Dissenter from ,the Established Church, chose to have his religious duties guided by a niinisses of his own persuasion, and accordingly he appointed a Presbyterian Mi nister, for a stipend of thirty pounds a year, to perform divine service in the chapel of the dona tive of Kirkstead. And after a time, that .be te s nets Which he professed might not want uphold ing in his parish, he settled certain lands upon five persons (Dissenters) in trust, that they should apply the rentsand profits of thesaine to the main tenance of a Presbyterian Minister at Kirkstead, so long as-the indulgences. to Dissenters should be continued in the State. This conveyance was made in the year _1720: and by the will of Mr.. Disney, in 1732; he. confirmed the grant aboVe recited and its uses ; . and, in addition, bequeathed to, the said trustet. " the use of the chapel and chapel ground,'" fOr the same porpOses. In case of death or alienation, on the part of the Dissenting Mi nister,' the Trustees were to nominate two others for the office and its einoluments, who were tb be presented to the .cord of the Manor, who was to chuse. and appoint one Of them .; or in case 'of his neglect or refusal, were themselves to appoint.--- New Trustees and new Ministers continued to be appointed under the decd, unLii-the year -1792, 'whoa Mr. DisneysFytch, grandsOn of the grantor, sold the manor and estates of Kirkstead to. Rich ard Ellison, Esq. who, (with his tenants) is the defendant in this action ; and the propetty was conveyed for his absolute useswith the exception of the particularlands appropriated by ti t le deed of 1720. • Mr. Ellison, in the exercise of the right which he eonceived.had devolved upon him by his . pur chase appoint for the performance of religions ser vice at Kirkstead, notaS Presbyterian Minister, hut' a Clergyman of the Establishment of which he himself was a member, to whom he appropriated the stipend of thirty pounds a year originally di rected as a provision. It was to recover-the property so diverted from the uses in contemplation of the grantor, that this action was brought and amorgst the property was specified a messuage (the chapel) and ground abOut it. The proof of the plaintiffs case lay chiefly in the deed of 1720, and the will of 1732, which were produced and read. Mr. CLARKE, Mr. SCrjeant VAUMHAN, and Mr. COPLEY, were retained by the plaintiffs, Mr. REEDER, who (with Mr. DENMAN) was Counsel for the defendants, in a remarkably able address to the Jury, stated, that bis client Mr. El lison's object in defendingithis action, was not his own advantage, nor was it of any importance to him, as an individual, what the resultlof it might be, beyond that interestwhich bend all men took in the protection of the Church of which they were members. The produce of the lands sought to be recovered in the action, was regularly paid to a Minister; and the only question was, whe ther that Minister should be a Clergyman of the Church of England,. or. a Preacher of a Dissent ing connection. If Mr. Ellison was wrong, it was from" an error in judgment he had- acted, not ; being lawyer, or competent to a strict determi dation of legal right. He had thought, that not the lands fuemselvcs, as .lands, werereserved;-but only a security for thirty pounds a year; and. that . sum he had regularly paid to a Clergyman whom he had appointed. The Learned - Counsel pro- Ceeded to state, daft the deed under which the plaintiffs claimed was vitiated and void,-as to this action, by. the circumstance of its provisions hav ing been departed from, particularly - as to the ap pointment of trustees on lapse by death. - It was ; directed that when two out of five were dead, the remaining three-shottld appoint two others : but' . this had not been attended to,—for in oneinstance of new appointment'which had been- adduced by the plaintiffs in their case, there was only one stn.--; viving trustee, who consequently had all the pa tronage, The will Confirming the settlement aisoS gave what it was impossible it should Or could give ; for he would prove that the chapel was the' parish church. of Kirkstead, where there was none other; and it was impossible fiat any piswer on earth, except that of an Act of Parliament, to di- Yert, or pervert, as in this case which -he said without meaning offence. to a respectable . body) t that ,which was consecrated a nd dedic a ted o the Church of England, to any other worship. It was not enough, and was wholly futile, to say that: it was not a parish church because the Ordinary had no authority over it, and . the /3i.shop did not cite its Minister to his Visitation : it was a donative, and therefore exempt from that controul : but the Chapel having belonged to the Ch urc h o f Efq and, could not be conyeTted into' . a DisseOt' -ins Meeting House; and whosO, -other ...hail a Minister _of the Established Church, pre,3o l ". ed to baptise or to marry in it, would subjec t himself to seven years' trarisportation. Arid thl 3 the Dissenting MiniSters who had served in it knew full well, for One of them (Mr. DunkieY) had been warned of ; it, and admitted the justice of the \yarning, by always, Oil occasions of mar. riages and baptis - ins, calling in the Clergyman of - a meighbouring paeish t o p er f orm th e servieee--" There vas a heti to the chapel,. and an anciegr fount, things which were ',mown to be abhorl'el by Presbyterians, as being relics of Popery; - ari a ' there was a date on the pulpit which proved it ° lt ' have peen a place of worship long before Dissea ters r ere known Churchwardens were regularq appointed at Easter (and no such .officer 11 ' known to the Dissenters), there were pariSli re' gisters, and other documents indisputable.- though, therefore, through the influence of Disney, the chapel had been for a time used 1 1 Dissenters, it clearly belonged to the Church, as _ could not be alienated. _ Mr. REEDER called - a witness, Robert Broo 4, who had been 24 years parish clerk - at KirkStee 4, and who proved the several matters of fact as the chapel to which he had referred. The Judge held that the plaintiffs , had clearly made out their title to the lands, and the defe 4l ' dants as clearly shewn that what was claimed 35 ' " a messuage," was' the parish church, , shc, j74 _ could not be bequeathed by any body. His Lora" ship directed a verdict for the plaintith, subject t° the opinion of the Court of King's Bench Ori 8 case reserved, arising out of the deed, whether t" legal estate •is in Mr. Ridgard, the.last survivini trustee under a deed of 1772, w h en th e trust '134 last renewed.
