THE NATIOOT, PECISTER.

MR. BURNETT'S REPLY.

We have been favoured with the following pithy communicatien
by Mr. Burma himself, in consequence of Verax's letter in our
Paper of Sunday moonlight. To that correspondent we lease the
ease of answering, it he thinks it necessary. Mr. Burnett has taken
up the gauntlet in a resolute manner and the quotation which he
has assumed as his motto for the contest, shows a dt termined spirit
which might overawe a less on annoted antagottist. We are too con-
fident in the courage of the champion of Vaccination to fear he
would shrink frau the battle, and too conscious of the goodness of
his cause to suppress any argument which may be brought agaimt
him. Mr. Burnett ;ay therefitre rely tilt the strictest impartiality
in the insertio:t of his communications. We shall not disarm thew
of any portion of their strength. and he w ill see that in pursuance t()
this plan, we hate carefully abstained frpm cortz-cting either his
grammar or his oriito2raphy in laying tier following select specinteo
before the public. It is printed without a change of letter or punc-
tuation from his copy, and we hope will give both him and his frie:ids
mull satisfaction. As he finds the introduction of his name and
portraits in Tull- N vrioN AL REGISTER so advantageous to the pro-
pagation of Small l'ox Inoculation, we trust he will become a warm
patron to our paper and introduce it in return to all his patients, 01
distribute it gratis among the poor. We think ourselves bound in
honour, however, to inform him that he has been perhaps too san-
grnne in his expectations of increased success, occasioned by the re-
port of fifteen new patients, who came to him" he tells us, in con-
sequence of having read Verax's letter, as we have heard of twenty
persons, hitherto in the habit of having their children inoculated
with the Small Pox, who have in conseq Alice of the same letter gi veil
up the practice and applied to have them vaccinated. There seems
therefore hi be a balance of five in tvt enty gained by Vaccination,
through the arguments employed by Vertex. We hope Mr. B. will
continue to favour us with his communications,as they will, no doubt,
contribute to augment the number.

Let him be datrn'd who first cries hold enough.

Woomsbury, on Saturday evening t!etween (ire doe and Jiiy. The
•et to was occasioned by the latter going into a room where Greg.
son was taking his glass, and peremptorily demanding of him to
6eht for a lark, which was not at first noticed ; but Gregmm's for-
bear:nice was at length exhausted by the epithets male nse of, and
by Jay menacing him in a pugilistic attitude. Some bits were ex-
changed abont the body in the first round, and Jay was thrown.
In the second round Gregson missed a lett-handed hit, and Jay
rallied at the hotly; but Gregson planted a right-handed hit un nis
adver:,ary's throat acct he went diAvn. In the third ronntl Get ;:sun
mh,ed his adversary's Lead again with his left hand, and doubled
his arm in a ,•ornei of the room, %liieh broke the main bone below
the elhow. He mentioned it at the liThe ; but he fought on, and
gathered himself np for a right-handeu hit in the fourth round,
which he planted with violmee enough to tell a bullock on Jay's
forehead. Jay was stnancd, but he fought two other rounds, and
Gregson be at him with one laud. Jay remained some time in A
state urstupor. Gregson's arm Was set, and he is recovering.
