Mr. TRAVERS stated, that for toot) years the "call-pox had thinned the population of Europe, had robbed the affections of fathers, ,the yearning hearts of ,mothers, of their dearest joys; that the coaling prailice of SYDENHAtit, invented about one handrerl and fifty years since; terided to lessen the devastation ; that inoculation, commencing it -a later period, had, in fad, increased the mischief whi.:ll it seemed to diminish ; that the present annual deaths by the Smallpox, were, for 1 ,4 Metropolis 2000, f or t h e whole.

Mr. MoottE, the Translator, or rather the inf. mated Imitator, of ANMIREON, is said to be the Author of the Poems . which have appeared under the fiaitiOus designation of the late Mr. LittLE. These Poems are recommended by so much genius, taste, and sensibility, that the Author Might rather be expeCted to wear his laurels with pride, than attempt to hide himself in the shade of secrecy.

A horrible crime was lately • committed in the environs of Vienna. A girl who had been in service in that City, And had saved 400 florins, set out from thence for the purpose of t a ki ng ;he money home to her . family. In her way she stopped at A public house in a Village in order to pass the night, the Master anti Mistress of 'Which were her rela. tions. Having related to her. Hostess the objed of her journey, the latter formed the diabolical projeei of murdering her for . the purpose of getting possessiOn of the 'Money. In order to execute this horrid crime with the greater facility, she proposed that the girl should sleep in her own chamber in her daughter's bed, and that the latter should remove into a closet, which was assented to. Before they. retired to rest, however, and in the absence of the mother, the two Cousins had some conversation, at)d at length agreed that the daughter should sleep in her" own bed, and that .the other girl should sleep in the closet, after which they both retired to their respedive beds as agreed upon between themselves. Soon after midnight the mother repaired to the bed where she supposed her destined vii9im to be asleep, bat where in consequence of . the agreement of which she was ignorant, her own daughter was then lying, and poured, boiling fat down her throat. She . soon however discovered her, mistake, anti, recog.; • nixing her daughter by. her cries, called • loudly, for help, but all assistance was useless, as the 'unfortunate girl expired in the most dreadful agonies.

The Circumstances "warn to were asifoilci.:o that the uncle and niece were seen walking in the fields ; that a person at a sinalldistance distinctly heard the niece exclaim, " Don't kill me, uncle ! don'r kill me !" and that instantly a. pistol or fowling-piece' was fired. off. Upon these circumstances,- the - Gentleman was convicted and executed. ' Near twelve months after, the niece; who had-eloped, arrived in' Eng:. land, and hearing' of the affair, elucidated the Whole transaction. It appeared that she had form:d an attachment fora person whom • her Uncle disap proved ; when walking in the tieldsihe was earnestly dissnading her from the connexion, when she re:. " that she was resolved •to have him, or it would be her death,'' and . therefore said, " don't kill me, uncle don't kill me !" - At the moment she uttered these words, a foWling.piece was dis: charged by a Sportsman in 'a neighbouring; field. The same night she elOped from her uncle's house ; and the combinati rn of those suspicious circum stances occasioned his ignominious death. At the 'Yorkshire .

With this the farmer; as he calls himself; takes his and his intended • bride not only has. to lament the loss of her lover, but the loss of her money : he has succeeded in two instances, which is the reason of this caution. , His person is tather short, of a dark complexion, sluirt black hair, large black eye. ,brows, an black whiskers t of e Is. much• of the countryman, 'both in his person'and talk, and (that uses the words « clang it, " ' in his conversation 3 he tells a story of sinarriage bet wean his friend Lands. down.fiod the Duke ,Of Montr.ote's kitchen tnaid,• -which 'story, on inquiry we found to be false ; at ,One place he 'La's one by the name of.

Friday se'nnight the Magistrates of Glasgow de. cided -a matter of Police, which has excited a good deal of attention. About four weeks ago, two young Gentlemen going borne pretty late at night, one of theca, with a stick which he had in his hand, gave a slight-rap on a 'window shutter A t the head of Ja. malca-street. On this, John Ogilvie find joil4 M‘Pherson, the watchmen stationed in. the street, ran up and collared them. An altercation enstied, the result was, that Ogilvie made a secon d attempt. to seize one of the Gentlemen, who thereupon made the:best of-his way tohia own house, which was bat few yards' off. He was followed by the .two • • watchmen, who ran up stairs after him, but he got into the house, and 'the door was bolted before his pursuers reached it. Ogilvie, who was close at his heels, viattofy forted up the door,. laid hold of him , again by the collar, And was forcing him out of the I house, when his brother, bein g a l arme d b y th e noise, ran to the door,'.. extricated him from Ogil. vie's grips, and with difficulty pushed the latter out, his companion having, in' the mean time, must .properly sprung his rattle on the stair, to the, alarm of the neighbourhood, and particularly of a Gentle,- manOn the same floor, who way dying. After sante more altercation, they thought proper to depart.. The Procurator Fiscal, on an information, and re presentation of the circumstances, 'brought an action against the watchmen, for forcibly entering the house wikhout a warrant, and comlititting the out,. rage above-mentioned, in which adion the fads now detailed were fully proved. The Magistrates, impressed witlt'the enormity of this offence, which they justy considered' as big* aggravated by the situation of.the offenders as Peate Officers, and whicls, if winked. at, Would have a tendency to conveTt the System of Police into a means of insult and . 6pplession fined Ogilvie in 21. ordained him to be coniined in Bridewell at hard labour, for two months, 'and till he snide payment of that fire, ixside a proportion of the expence ce , tresponding to his guilt ; dktnissed. from his nilic of watchman, and found Lim bcapable of ever again serving in that capacity, tile city Ivberties. But, on account of sonic alleviarinz circumstances in M ( Pherson's case, the puniShutent agtinst him was modified to imprisonment in Tirid+ -well at hard labour for one month,. and till Intpaid a .fine of- 21, beside a losses-proportion of.he ex.
