TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six---Though I have thought.it a duty to explain
to Lord AMHERST the circumstances of
Cot. Liss's case,' who was vaccinated by Mr. GRAY,
of Swindon, Wilts, and which case was published in
the 6th edition of the Letter to the Rev. ROWLAND
HILL, at page g 7 *, yet I beg you will inform your
Readers that I do not feel myself called upon to no.
tice the observations of Mr._BCAIR upon the cutajitot.

The candid confession of ;he original Caw Pock
Institution is an additional a►id sati%tattory proof of
the fallability of Dr. JEN N Eli'l experi►uent.
I a►n, Sir, your obliged humble servant,

hurst's, No. 70, Wells-street, Oxturil.road. She was co-
vered with Sinai Pox. Iler account is, that she had the
Cow Pox five years since, in the must pertect'
nesuner 1 the
eschor on her arm is very distind. She Was V.lcGiil.ltCd by
Mr. Gray, of Swindon, in Wiltshire, and was assured she
Walla ever secured from Small-I'ox. ' She wai living as
servant in Lord Amherst's family when she was taken with

ii.the Memorandum 1. have sent to his Lord-
ship, saying, 1 am ready to swear to the truth of it.
I deny the Itiegwooti logic, which says, ," If Small
Pox happens, the Vaccination is defeiliim." Allovi

The Gazette of last night contains a Proclamation
for apprehending the persons concerned in the later
outrages at Rochdale, in Lancashire, who are de-
scribed to have, on .the auth ult. " broke open the ►
private houses of cotton and woollen weavers; ear-
ned off their shuttles. and other implements of weav-
ingi'and demolished the glass winowe of the Office
where the Magistrates were then net for transacting
puliie business, by throwing large stones thereat,.
several of whieh.stones wounded the Special Con-
stables then in attendance; and in. the evening of
that day broke open and entirely burnt down the
prisouJben rind there being : and, on Tuesday the
alst of •the said month of May, such rioters conti-
nued 'cher depredations,. and in the evening thereof
extorted tiioney from divers peaeeable inhabitants of
the said, town and parish of Rochdale,. by githerieg
theinselves 'together in large bodies,' and menacing
to burn their houses, .fatiories, mills, !Arc. and pro-
..eeeded to such extremities, that the lives of indivi-
duals Were not only threatened, but in molt
nent danger." •
The 'Greenock P4per gives the following account
Of a.Midiummer storm :—" On Monday afternoon,
sheet four o'clock, the most tremendous storm of
_thunder and lightning, accompanied with torrents
of rain, and of hail stones °fan enormous size, ever
.remembered to have been seen by the oldest resi-
denters,, was exeer!eticed at Fairlie, for about three
quarters of an hour. A body of water rushed from
The hillfr with , such formidrible impetuosity,: as to
'resist -all .confinernent .to its usual channel, over-
spreading the tields, sweeping away with. it stone
dykes, the entire soil f two tields, one of corn, and
another of
,potatoes,, and partially injuring several
others. InAbe village the houses were 'inundated
three feet deep. It is somewhat remarkable, that
at Largs, not more than two miles distant, this
Morns was by no means felt to the same degree,
though we have beard that, on the Dumbarton side,
. and at Bishopton, on this side, it was nearly as yin-
!end much. about the same hour as at Fairlie."
