~~ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, I fin 1, by your -Paper of Thursday last, that more Anti-vaccinists begin to wince ; even Mr. BIRCH, Surgeon Extraordinary to the PRINCE REGEN r, has started for . th. As this Gentleman chooses to dwell a little longer on the case of Mr. Moaal.s's daughter, he shall be indulged. He has tried to correct my statement, and insists that the child had actually fever during three days, and that the eruption turne:l on the seventh instead of the sixth day:— This e ‹aggeration of the - symptoms is of no act va.nta to. him in the argument; for I shewed, and Mn Birch cannot contradict me, that the child was ant vaccinated according to the established rules - of •ound practice : and consequently what ever degree of fever or of variolous eruption might afterwards take place, ought to be puted to the mistake of the, practitioner, and not to Vaccination. I shall illustrate this by what too frequently_occurs to_ another class of patients )vitli whom Mr. Birch is probably more conversant-PT- . must have seen cases where mercury had - be - en injudiciously employed, and in which the malady' recurred : and yet Mr. Birch' never laid the fault of these failures upon mercury, which he knows to be a specific : this charge is only made by adver tising quacks, who are unworthy of his imitation. I therefore hope-that he will not again bring for. ward a child imperfectly vaccinated as an example of the inefficacy of Vaccination. And if he is se riously anxious to know whether those who are properly vaccinated are secured from Small-pox, he has ample opportunities. He need only go to any of the. nine Vaccine Stations whicli are ap pointed by Government, and where some thousand children are annually vaccinated ; thkir names and places of. abode are all registered, and I defy him to detect a single individual of the whole,, who ever contracted the Small-pox. I assertthis upon pretty sure grounds; because - it : was stated by the Board of the;chief Officers of the - Royal Collges of Physicians and Surgeons of London, in their re port to Parliament. Idle rumours cannot be alleged in i opposition to authentic documents, published by authority; and this leadslne to take notice of one paSsage in Mr. Birch's-Letter 'ivhich surprised me. He asserts, that . " at Ringyvood, Missenden, Widfordi Brigh ton, Cambridge, and Grantham, so Many - have died of Small-pox after Vaccination, that in some of those -places the funerals have been performed during the night." This.,assertion ought certainly not to have been made but on substantial grounds. It is a strange tale, nod Mr. Birch must excuse me if I cannot credit it without proof. It too much resembles the gross invention of the Ox faced Boy, the detection of which covered some of the principal An ti-vaceinists•With' graze- I therefore call upon him to produce credible evidence of the facts he has asserted, which he has no excuse for eluding, as he has vo lanLirily thrust himself. forward on this occa don. I regret that I have unintentionally hurt his pride 't)y promulgating, that no eminent surgeon now vrac.tised . Small-pox inoculation. This he ec.lnnlains of, and says, " I Must consider it as applied to myself." This - exclusive assumption chews that Air. Birch considers himself as the only eminent surgeon of that class. I know not how his coadjutors will relish the admission ; but on this occasion, with a trifling exception, I am pre cisely of Mr. Birch's mind. To know ourselves has been considered as no easy matter, and others must judge Whether Mr. Birch has accomplished the difficulty. ills pretensions are certainly lofty, for he boasts of ‘‘ having uni formly aM steadily maintained an opinion against all the Colleges of Medicine in these United King, doms." He who does this, must be completely. satisfied that he enjoys •a pre-eminent capa tity. Let him:display this. superiority of men tal powers by proving that " all the Medical Colleges of Great Britain, and all those in Christ endom are in the wrong. Let him produce evi dence that such -numbers of children, died of the Sma,ll-pox, after regular • Vaccination that day light did not suffice for their burial ; and, finally, let him F..liew clearly that all he writes is.the ge nuine dictates of his CONSCIENCE: In the Edinburgh Court of Session, Henry Spiess, Jesx - traveliing merchant, brought his action against the Proprietors 'of the Dumfries Mail, for, 6mages sustained by the overturning the coach, by which be was confinectin his room four months. The Proprietors contended, if there was any blame,, it was attributable to the guard,. _ who was not their servant, but the servant of the Post Office, .whose commands the driver was boand to obey. Judgment against the Proprie tors---Damages 1001. ,On Wednesday night last, about twelve o'clock, Hincheliffe, of ilolmfirth, near Huddersfield, wts roused from ,his sleep by a loud knoeking at the door. Oa inquiring what was the cause of this, a person, without, asked if Hinelieliffe lived there % He dresseu himself, and opened the (low-, when he was desired by two men to lead them to a certain place ; 'they then escorted hint down a neighbouring lane. He desired to know their motive for conveying him that road ; .one .of the men told him, he heard he had been giving information resi„eting the Luddites; this he denied. The convertiation was interrupted by a horse (which . %Vas, loose in the lane) galloping near them, which alarmed the ruf fian's, and gave Hinchliff'e an opportunity of es caping ; one of the men fired at him, and lodged . - a piece.of lead in his-eye ; the eye is entipely lost, and his head much bruised ; he, however, had the good fortune to reach a friend's house. About ten weeks ago, . Hinehliffee had a conversation with a person of the name of Scholefield, who en deavoured to persuade him to be twisted in as one of General Ludd's men„, threatening, that if he made any discovery of the matter, be would be put to death. Suspicion of course fell on Schole 'field, as one of the persons, and on inquiry' it was found he had absconded. .taom "Arr. LONDON GAZETTE, JULY 45. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. W. Peck and !J.

'EDITOR, The' Gentlemen concerned in the • manufacture of Leather, among other reasons fOr objecting to the additional duty, urged that it Will fall par ticularly heavy upon the labOuring part of the community but; I - believe, if those Gentlemen will give themselves time to ' reflect, they will be convinced that the duty will fall principally upon the more opulent classes ; for the great consutup 7 tion of leather is in coaches, ,chariots, curricles, and other expensive carriages. The materials re quisite to make a pair of heavy shoes, suchas are worn by the labouring cldsses, do not weigh more than two or three pOondS itrleather, so that the working man's pair of shoes, allowing double the duty to be .added by the retailer,.will not ex- . ceed ninepence a pair by_this additional impost ; and: this is a circumstance which I think should be clearly underftood, by the labouring man, in order that he may know that ninepence upon a pair of shoes as much as ought to fall upon him in consequenceof this additional duty of three halfpence in the pound, allowing also a very ade quate profit to the retailer. It is, no doubt, the duty of every Prime Minis ter of this country.to raise the taxes that are un fortunately necessary to meet the- present unex ampled expenses of the country, in such a manner as may be least burthensome upon that valuable class of the community—the industrious labourer; and at the same time to levy such taxes as may be collected with the smallest expense to Govern ment, and be the most productive, with the least possible degree of burthen upon the community at large. In all these points of view, I do maintain that an additional duty on tanned leather is clearly intitled to a preference ; for the utmost which a labouring man will have ,to pay_ is about nine pence upon a pair of shoes ; and it is well known that two pair of these sort man ,shoes is .the usual number that a labouring man wants in a year : then let me ask, what master, who knows his own interest, would refuse to give a good and faithful servant this small additional duty of nine- . pence each on two pair of shoes annually, rather them he should have to complain of the duty as a grievance : it is an eligible tax, because the bur then. does not fall principally or heavily upon the "industrious, but, as I have before_ stated, *upon the wealthy; for the great consumption of tanned leather is in the - article of expensive carriage, harness, &c.: it has a decided advamtage over many other modes of taxation, because it may be, collected without any additional expence to• G overnment, and consequently all the produce will find its way into the Exchequer, which circum stance is one very desirable object in .the contem plation of every wise Legislator. I beg to add, that I conceive the tanner is the only personavho has any fair objection to make to his propoSed additional duty, and that objec tion is not to the principle of the tax, but to this circumstance, that the burthen of paying the duty will fall upon him, and he has no immediate means of remunerating himself, ,as he sells the chief part of his manufactured gondi in a pnblic market, and therefore cannot fix his own price : now the currier, leather-seller, or shoemaker, has an opportunity of charging his customer with any additional duty he me.y pay,. for he fixes his own price upon, his goods, and sells actording to the price he has bought at ; herein, all. the other branches of the leather trade have a manifeA advantage over the tanner ; and J huMbly submit it to the consideration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer that it would be very easy, certainly much more equita 2 Jle, for the duty to be paid by the currier, instead of the, tanner. • I am your constant Reader, W. T. • '0,4 We hare to .apologize to our Correspondent for deo laying tins inseltion of his letter, owing to an accident: The suite of Buonaparte and/ his consort, -on their arrival at Dresden, consisted of 322 persons, 286 carriages, and-560 horses ; , that of the Em peror and .Ernpress ofAastria, of 44 persons ; and that of Jerome Buonaparte of 22. rtiA.LouisA has returned. to St. Cloud, from -her Visit to the Emperor, her father.

POLICE. GUILDHALL ---Yesterday a man named Cgmber land was brought up, charged by a hutchor of Thames-street with obtaining; on'false pretences, a quantity of meat, sent home by the prosecutor on Saturday•to the house of a customer in Finch lane, Cornhill. It ailpeared that the prosecutor's servant, when lie wls entering the - house where , he delivered i the meat, observed the prisoner look-... ing sharply at him. Ile deliveredthe,meat to the porter, and went away. Soon afterwards, a mes sage was brought to his master's house to inquire if he had sent any person to bring away the meat, as it bad been given to a butcher's man, who said he _came from him The butcher, of course, answered in the negative. 'Some time after- Avards his man, who had delivered the meat as before-mentioned, and was carrying some more to another customer in the 'same neighbourhood, observed the prisoner, passing with a tray on his shoulder, containing the identical pieces of aleat he had delivered some hours before in Finch-lane. He charged him with the theft, and gave him up to the care of a peace 7 officer. The witness per fectly well remembered having seen the prisoner in the morning-, and knew him plying as.a. porter in Newgate Market. The prisoner was remanded ! for further examination. A wretched looking old man,' near 70, was brought up, charged by Mr. Maidman, a butcher; of Woolwich, with stealing a sheep, his proper ty, on Friday last. It appeared that Mr. Maid man had purchased this sheep, with some others, on Friday, at Smithfield, and gave them in care to a drover's boy, to take home. The sheep fell lame on - the Surrey road, and the boy tied its , legs;' and left it under the care of a woman, who kept a fruit-stall in the street, until he should come for it .again. In the interim, the prisoner came for it in the boy's name, and procured carter to convey it to Newgate-market, where be gave it to a butcher narned King, with directions to have it killedlor him against next morning.— Mr. in interrogated the prisoner as to bow he came by it ; 'and the account he gave was, that he was a farmer, living near Odihani; that he had Sold 4-0 sheep that morning to a person from Surrey ; be .employed no salesman, but always sold his own sheep. This one„ bad fallen lame, land he was obliged to have it killed on his own account. He had bred it up from a lamb, and it had.produced him a lamb every year for the three last., Mr. King, , however, ; discovered the sheep to be a barren ewe, and of course that it• riever bad a Jamb ; and he gave theprisoner' in charge to a police officer on suspicion. Upon searchiEig him, not , a shilling was found in his possession, notwithstanding his pretended sale of 40 sheep in the !warning of that day : but he accounted for this by saying-that he had got tipsy, and that his pocket. had been picked of the money. . Mr. Maidman, who came to town in conic quence of some inquiries he had made, was di rected to Mr. King's, where he found his sheep still alive, and identified it.—The prisoner was remanded for farther examination'. VARLBOBOUGH-STREET. — Elizabeth Neal, a pre tended prophetess, who affected to be deatand dumb, was charged by Miss Silvestcr, one of the Paphian sistephood, residing in Baker-street, with stealing 2 gold rings of the value of 31. and 21. her property. The prisoner introduced herself by presenting a note, which stated her to be deaf an dumb, and that she was, also well versed in prognostics. The sybil was ititroduced into Miss Silvester's drawing room, and after a tete-a-tete of some duration, when the prophetess dil3layed much skill in di vination, the bell was rung for the servant, and the prosecutrix left the room. It was afterwards discovered, that two rings had been stolen which the prosecutrix had pulled from her fingers during the interview. No stranger had entered the room, and in two .or three days 'after the rob bery was discovered, Miss Silvester met . the prisoner in the street and challenged her; when, strange to tell,, she had recovered both her speech and bearing, and denied the robbery. • She was however identified both by the prosecutrix and her servant. The prisoner was fully cOth mittedfor trial. The life of John Btzrnsley, who received sentence of transportation' at the last Warwick Sessions, presents an instance of perseverance in crimes seldom to be paralleled.—He was indicted and ac quitted-at the Lent Assizes, 1801 :—he was con victed at tbe Nfidsummer Sessions,-1801, and-sen tenced to 12 months imprisonment in a sellitary cell :—after being at large little more than a year, he was at the Sessions, 1803, sentenced to seven years transportation :—scarcely settled after his return, lie was again convicted at the Summer Assizes, 1811, and received sentence of six mouths imprisonment : indicted at the Lent Assizes, 1812, he was acquitted, but could not be easy out of trouble, be has accordingly, as was before ob-. served, just been sentenced again to seven years transportation ! , - At the Waterfor4 Assizes, J.. Connery, J. Cor coran, and J. Walsh, were indicted for burglari ously entering the house of widow Hickey, at Graige, in that county, and forcibly carrying off Mary Hickey, her daughter. The trial proceeded with all due solemnity until, in the examination 'of the young woman, she was asked whether .she was carried off against her consents when she re plieri—" Oh, no; I was willing to go !" which convulsed the Court with laughter, and stopped__ the proceedings. At Nottingham Assizes, Benjamin Renshaw, for setting fire to a stack of hay at Mansfield, the property of Mr.. Charles Stanton, and for felo niously. killing and carrying away - a sheep; the property of Isaac Dodsley, of Mansfield ; and five other convicts, received sentence of death, bift were afterwards reprieved, e„xcept Renshaw, who is left for execution. George Spray, for destroying -a stocking frame at Sutton in Ash field, the property of Francis Betts, to be trans ported fourteen years.—John Stanley, for inciting soldiers to break a frame at Basford, to. be impri soned three years.
