The Duke of BUCKINGHAM presented a Petition from One Hundred and Twenty-four Occupiers of Land in the vici nity of the Town of Buckingham, who, his Grace stated, com plained of agricultural distress, and prayed for such relief as to the House should seem meet, but did not point to a reduction of taxation as a remedy.—Ordered to lie upon the Table. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said he had a Petition to present of a similar character to that which had just been read, but dissimilar in the object of its prayer. The Petition was from the Bath and West of England Society, consisting of members from various parts of the adjacent counties, who prayed for what they considered, and what he agreed with them in considering, as the only effectual remedy for thepresent distress, namely a re. duction of taxation, which of course must be preceded by every possible retrenchment. He thought it right to state that this Society was not of a political nature, but considering the distress under which the agricultural interests were suffering, they bad felt it their duty to petition Parliament for what they considered the only effectual remedy. He certainly was not guilty of the absurdity of supposing that low prices could be raised by a reduction of taxation, but by means of a reduction of taxa tion the farmer would be better enabled to bear up under low prices, and to await that period when, by the adjustment of supply and demand, the agricultural, as well as other in• terests, would be placed on a fair level. The Noble Earl op posite having, in answer to a question of a Noble Friend of his, stated on a former day, that some measure was about to be brought forward in the House of Commons, which, on coming up to their Lordships, would open the whole question of the agricultural interests, he should not now anticipate that discus sion, but merely again state his conviction that the only effec tual remedy for the present distress of the agricultural interests was to be found in a considerable reduction of expenditure, and. a consequent diminution of taxation.' The Earl ofLIVERPOOL was desirous that what he said on a former day, and to which the Noble Marquess had allud ed, should not be misunderstood. In alluding to what was to be, brought forward in another place, he, of course, as the Noble Marquess well knew, could. not answer for the passing of any measure in the House of Commons. All he meant. to state was, that it was intended to make a statement in another place with reference to the distress of the Agricultural interests, and to found upon it a measure which, from motives of convenience, would best originate in the House of Commons. Should that measure be brought up to their Lordships, the.whole question would of course be opened to their discussion. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM was anxious that what he said on presenting the Petition of some Occupiers of Land in the vicinity of the town of Buckingham should not be misunz derstood. What he meant to state was, that the Petitioners did not point to reduction of taxation as a remedy, but suggest ed a system of duties for the protection of their interests.—The Petition was read and ordered to lie upon the Table. Adjourned till to-morrow (this day.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. There having been only 38 Members present at four o'clock, the Speaker, of course, adjourned the House until to-morrow. hIINORITY ON SIR ROBERT WILSON'S MOTION FOR PAPERS RELA.

Lord Milton and Lord Tavistock having come up on purpose to support the question yesterday, were under the necessity of leaving London this morning in consequence of indispensable business in the country. A. house of doubtful fame, on Merkinch, was discovered to be on fire, about one o'clock, on Sunday morning. ,A girl of four years of age, and an infant of twelve days, were./ unhappily burned. The adjoining houses being thatched with straw, before a ladder could be procured to strip the roof, one. of them was in a blaze. The fire was happily confined to the two houses,' but as it raged with tremendous fury, the conse quences would have been dreadful if there had been a breath of wind. When the combustible materials were exhausted, the engine was ser viceable in extinguishing the dying embers. The children were then missed ;. and on a search, their bodies were found nearly consumed.—(ln verness Journal.) VACCINATION. REPORT FROM THE VACCINE ESTABLISHMENT: TO TILE RIGHT HON. ROBERT PEEL, PRINCIPAL SE CRETARY OF STATE FOIL THE HOME DEPART- M ENT. National .Vaccine Establishment, Percy-street, Jan. 31, 1822. Sin—Vaccination has now been submitted to' the test of an-, other year's experience and the result is an increase of our confidence in the benefits of it. We are happy to say' that it appears to have been practised more extensively than it wag, notwithstanding the influence of exaggerated rurhours, of the frequent occurrence of Small Pox subsequently, on the minds of some persons, and the obstinate prejudices of others, who still continue to adopt inoculation for that disease. The una voidable consequence of the latter practice is to supply a con stant source of infection,. and to put the merits of Vaccination perpetually to the severest trial. Of. Small Pox, in the modified and peculiar form which it assurrieS when it attacks a patient who has been previously vaccinated, many cases indeed have been reported to us in the course of last year; and some have fallen within the sphere of our own observation; but the disorder has always run - a safe course, being uniformly exempt, from the secondary fever, in commonly the patient dies most CononlY when he dies of Small Pox. For the truth of this assertion we appeal to the testimony of the whole medical world. And for a proof that "die number of such cases bears no proportion to the thousands who have pro fited; to the fullest extent of security, by its protedting , in fluence, we appeal confidently to all who frequent the theatres and crowded assemblies, to admit that they do not disco ver in the rising generation any . longer that disfigurement of the human face which was obvious every where some years since. _ . . To account for occasional failures, of which we readily ad- Mit the existence, something is to be attributed to those ano.. malies which prevails throughout nature, and which the physi cian observes, not in some peculiar constitutions only,. but in the same constitution at • different periods of life, rendering the human frame at one time susceptible of disorder from a mere change of the wind, and capable, at another, of resisting the most malignant and subtle contagion. But amongst the most frequent sources' of failure which have occurred, and will for a time continue to occur, is to be numbered that careless facility with which unskilful benevolence undertook to per form in Vaccination in the narly years of the discovery ; for ex perience has taught us that a strict inquiry mto the condition of the patient to be vaccinated, great attention to the state of the matter to be inserted, and a vigilant observation of the pro gress of the vesicles on the part of the operator; are all essen tially necessary to its complete success. That less enlightened parents should hesitate to accept a substitute for Inoculation, which is • not perfect in all its pre tensions, and absolutely' and altogether effectual to exempt the objects of their solicitude from every future possible inconve nience, does not surprise us ; but we cannot forbear to express our unqualified reprobation of the conduct of those Medical Practitioners, who, knowing well that Vaccination scarcely oc casions the slightest indisposition, that it spreads no contagion, that in a very large proportion of cases it alibrds an entire se curity against Small Pox, and in almost every instance is a protection against danger from that disease, are yet hard . y enough to persevere in recommending the insertion of the poi. son, of which they cannot pretend to anticipate either the mea sure or the issue (for no discernment i 4 able to distinguish those constitutions which will admit inoculated Small 'Pox with safety;) and there are some families so dangerously affected by all the eruptive diseases that they fall into imminent hazard in taking any of them. This remark has a particular application to Small Pox. A family lost its two first-born children of the Small Pox, inoculated by two of the most skilful surgeons of the time ; nor is it improbable that the parents might have had to lament the loss of more children, under the same formidable disease, if the promulgation of the protecting influence of Vac cination had not happily interposed to rescue them from the consequences of a repetition of the fatal experiment. Of their remaining children ? one took the Small Pox after Vaccination, and went through it in that mild and mitigated form which stamps a value upon this resource, as real in the eye of reason and sound philosophy, as when it prevents the malady al together. We have :contended, Sir, for this its merits With all the powers of our understanding, and with all that just and fair pretension to convince others, to which we are entitled, by being firmly and sincerely convinced ourselVes. Nor shall we relax in our efforts to promote its adoption, but continue to exert the influence which the benevolent designs of Parliament, in esta blishing this Board, have given us, for extending the benefits of this salutary practice. That the blessing is not yet absolutely perfect, we are ready to admit; but when we compare it with Inoculation for the Small Pox, the only alternative, we have no hesitation in stat ing, that the comparison affords an irresistible proof of its su perior claims to regard ; for we learn from ample experience, that the number of cases of Small Pox, in the safe form which it is found to assume after Vaccination, is by no means equal to the number of deaths by Inoculation ; an evidence quite ir refragable, and, as it appears to us, decisive as to the incalcu lable advantages of the practice of the first over that 'of the latter method. The number of persons' who have died of Small Pox this year ,within the Bills of Mortality is only 508 ; not' more than two-thirds of the number who fell a sacrifice to that disease the year before ; and as in our last Report we had the satisfaction of stating that more - persons had been vaccinated during the pre ' ceding than in any former twelve months, we flatter ourselves that this diminution of the number of deaths from Small Pox may fairly be attributed to the wider diffusion of Vaccination..

" The position of Muletto is in itself- very strong,, and did approach to it extremely so, being through a pass,' commanded by high hills, for the distance of three mas s thrc - ,lgh which t4*.trilops adi'anced, covered by light infantry in front,. and on eittlitiank.—The . fert, which is situated on' thattetztrerne:poia of a range of hills, was occupied by three hundred horse - and fifty Arabs ; the former went Off on our approach With the Chief of the place, and consisted of the principal insurgents ; the latter made some resistance, but the village and fort were carried with great spirit by the advanced guard, .consisting of a company of the 10th Regiment, under the command Of Lieut. Blacker, of his Majesty's Toth Regiment." " The Insurgents were followed up close by them, and the remainder of the In fantry, for six miles, over the precipices, and througiv.the , ra vines and jungles of the mountain." "It is not possible to ascertain the exact number, but the celebrated Arab, Jamadar Rowasat, so well knoWn throughout liattywar, has fallen, and I believe two-thirds of his men have heefililled; wounded, or taken prisoners." ." It is impossible: to have evineed.:greatar zeal than the troops did in pursuing the enemy through_ their fastnesses: the fatigue of it was excessive." " I-have already spoken of the gallantry with which Lieut. Blacker carried the Hill Fort ; I am also much indebted to Lieut..Colottel. Gilbert and Captain Burrows, commanding the Ist Battalion of the sth, and detail Battalion, for their zeal - and gallantry, and p.articu - - larly so to Lieutenants Wilkinson and Hart, my Asslititnt Ad jutant andQuarter.alaster Generals." "I am also greatly in debted to Major Balantine, not only for his zeal and gallantry, but for the assistance I have derived from his local information in regard to the state of- the country."

FOR THE SUN. HERALDRY: Had TAtTifyinus seen the MS. of my commu. nication, he might have spared his wit on the deep knowledge ql rudinzents, a phrase which: my pen is not quite young enough to let slip.; yet it may be left with the compositor, or even witlrmyself, " uncriticized ;" since it not even 44 slightly" af fects the question. • Utterly I contend, that. the heraldric sable is a colour,..not a fur. The new system, like that which promoted the heart to the dexter' ribs, would create no little disarrangethent. , Without hunting the Peerage 'for argent npon -or, and inks upon vert, I should like to know what X'. X. and , the. Greek Herald will please to do with the fol. , lowing .authentic blazons :—Ermine, on' le fess sable, 3 mullets, or—Sable, • a chevron Ermine, on a bend sable, 3 pheOns argefit.—Er mine, a fess sable—Ermine, on a chevron .

In tu these, the ordinaries are fur'uponr, if sable he not a colour. Let me mention a'`few, wherein the charges are liable to the .saMe . cen sure :—Sable, a chevron or, between three 'cipque foils ermine —sable, three mullets ermine—sable, an eagle displayed, ermine—ermine„ three lo zenges in fesse, sable. Should it nowle argued that fur upon. fur is not false heraldry",, per haps I shall be told how the several Varieties of ,ermine, all of which have a tincture of sable, can be placed on a sable field. -The metals and colours,' for we must be mightily nice in their distinctions, are blazOned by names for the gentry and knighthood, by gems for the nobility, and by planets for Sove reigns. Accordingly, the yellow is respectitely, or, topaz, and sol ; as the • black is'sable, dia mond, and Saturn. My "rudiments" are not deep" enough for me to say whether Attides had any furs in his coat armour; but 1 should like to know the gems and planets by whiCh' they are distinguished:'—unless indeed the sable be the only fur which enjoys that eminence. 1 :f, Speaking of metals and colours, not as either sort are distinguished from the other, but as both are distinguished from.furs, I did not and do not think their mutual anti respective relations n'eces sary to our question. In this sense, therefore, I was not so overseen , as Talthybius reckons There needed no ghost from the Grecian camp to inform me that gules cannot be placed *upon Vert,'or Argent upon Or. But we were arguing about furs, rather than metals ,or colours; and, being equally aware that sable may be placed upon Argent or Ermine, I was not as nice as Talthybius on the P'P and Q Q of less imme diate distinctions. From any further argument, unless something more literary and less literal shall be started, Y Y desires to be X. Q: Z. Yates, an officer belonging to . the.

No distinction ever having existed between the &te, of staff pay attached to the general Officers of Cavalry and Infantry, it has not been deemed expedient to create any in the,rates of the present 'unattached allowance ; and as the intended arrange ment does not offer any material benefit of a pecuniary nature to the Lieut.-Colonels of cavalry who are General Officers, the Commander-in-Chief has thought it equitable that they should have the option of taking the unattached allowance, or of con tinuing in the receipt of their Lieut.-Colonel's pay. - • I am further to acquaint you, that any of the present General Officers holding regimental commissions may have the option of retiring'from the service by disposing of the same at the re gulated value, or should they now accept the allowance, they may hereafter have the power of disposing in like manner of an unattached commission similar to that which they have relin quished. But it is to be.understood, that the latter indulgence is not to extend to the Officers who may hereafter be promoted to the rank of Major-General beyond those who are now ef fective Lieut.-Colonels. _ - lam commanded to desire that you will be pleased to com municate to me, for his Royal Highness's information and guidance, your earliest decision upon the point thus referred to your option. I have, &c. (Signed) H. TORRENS. Major-General Sir Robert Wilson, &c. (COPY.) Horse-Guards, Aug. 27, 11121. „ - Major-General Sir Robert Wilson called upon Sir Heibert Taylor, and stated that he understood that there were many calumnious misrepresentations afloat in regard to the part which he took in the proceedings of the 14th of August; but that,. as no official. communication had been made to him upon the sub . - ject, and as he learns from Sir, ,Herberi , Taylor 'that he had not been instructed by the Commander-in-Chief 'to make any to him, he did not feel that he was called upon, or that he could with any propriety notice them in any : . representation to his Royal Highness, but that he feels at all times prepared to re fute them. Under these circumstances, Sir Herbert Taylor declined Ili, ceivingany private communication from Sir Robert Wilson. Read to Sir Robert Wilson, and approved by him. • (Signed) IL TAYLOR. SIR R. WILSON • TO MAJOR OAKES. ,• 'PARIS, Sept. 24, 1821. SIR--,Having just seen in The Times Newspaper of the 20th, inst. the statement of a retiorted conversation that passed be tween you and myself on ruesdayolie 14th of August, I ad dress myself with Confidencelo yofor-the contradiction of that statement, as you will be sensible of its perversion of the fact, and the injurious tendency of its fabrication. , You will doubtless have felt that, so far froth any hostile language having been uttered by either party to each. other, I presented myself to you with .such amicable spirit, that you in-. formed me you had given no orders to fire ; that you regretted the firing had taken place ; that .you moreover kindly received the suggestion I made,. to keep the. Magistrate (who I intro duced to you at the same time) close by yourself ; and that eventually, according to another suggestion, when you stated, you Conceived your further continuance with your detachment' as no longer required by your. orders, that instead of passing your detachment to the rear (to use my own expressions at the time) by the hearse; through an irritated populace, and along a line of loose flint stones, you advanced your detachment, and took the first street in the New-road leading into the town: I have already requested a court of inquiry or court-martial, before which all the transactions of the day in which I was con cerned may be investigated ; but I could -not treat a relation,' which engaged so much attention from the introduction of your name, :with -that silent forbearance which I have obtierved to wards the other various calumnies-to which active currency has been given in sonic public journals, and, as it would appear from them, in Magisterial inquiries. I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, R. WILSON. I As your receipt of this letter and your answer are of so much consequence, I have passed it through the hands of'a friend (Ge neral Long), who will charge himself with the conveyance of your reply. MAJOR OANES TO SIR R. WILSON. Hyde-park Barracks, 30th Sept. 1821. Sir—ln reply to your communication, received yesterday evening, I have to inform you that I cannot consent to make my self the organ of contradiction to the various reports in circula tion respecting the affair in which we have been represented as mutually concerned. Were I to yield this point in one instance, I should feel my self bound to notice evei y succeeding rumour, or my silence would be a sanction to the inferences which might be drawn from it. • _ I have no hesitation in saying, that the statenient to which you have particularly alluded did not originate with me, and I have not a suspicion who can be the author of it. Beyond this I must decline a compliance with your request; but as in the hurried and tumultuous scene to which you refer, some mis. conception may be supposed to arise, I think it right to admit on the hand, and declare my ignorance on the other, of the dif ferent points you enumerate; It is distinctly in my memory that you asked me upon that occasion, if I had given orders to fire; and my answer• was, " that had not ;" also that I retired by a flank movement, I believe down King-street, which, though pointed out by you, would naturally have occurred to myself as the most eligible; but as to any expression of regret that the firing had taken place, any exchange of courtesy between us, or my being intro duced by you to the Magistrate, until the very moment I re ceived his - orders to withdraw, when you announced me to him by saying." Here' is the officer," I have not the least re collection. From the commencement of this business 1 have most scru pulously avoided making a matter so closely connected. with a public question the subject of private Communication, and though consistently with this principle I have found myself at liberty thus to notice the points you have particularised in the letter to which I am now replying, you will perceive how im possible it is that I should further depart from my first reso lution. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient Servant, To Major-Gen. Sir R. Wilson.. R. M. OAKES. MAJOR OAKES TO LIEUT-GENERAL LONG. - • Hyde-Park Barracks, Sept. 30, 1821. Major Oakes has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Lieut.-General Long's note of yesterday's date, accompanied by a letter from Sir R. Wilson. As General Long states his being acquainted with the contents of that letter, Major Oakes has thought it advisable that his reply to Sir R. Wilson should also be communicated, and therefore he sends it unsealed. - To Lieut.-General Long, &c. SIR ROBERT WILSON TO MR. WHITE, POLICE MA • GISTRATE. SlR—Understanding that you were the Magistrate to whoth. I had the satisfaction to address myself on the 14th of August, and who permitted me to present him to 'the Conimanding Officer. of the . detachment of Life Guards towards the con clusion of-the tumult at Cumberland-gate, I apply to you, un- N. er iii ) . y a t the tilt!
