The Juryi then retired to consider the evidence, which
the Coroner had perspicuously summed up. After a con-
sultation of about 20 minutes, they returned a ♦erdict to
the eff,Tt that the deceased had committed " St•if- murder."
The CORONER then issued his order for the burial of the
body, without funeral rites, between the hours of idue and
twelve that night.

Mr. Ceely, surgeon, of Aylesbury, has demon-
strated the important fact, that small-pox and cow-pox have
the same origin, the latter being small-pox communicated
to the cow. Mr. Ceely inoculated cows with small. pox
matter; the vesicle produced in the animals had every ap-
pearance of the vaccine pock. To ascertain the point,
children were inoculated with matter taken from the cow
thus artificially infected; the result was a fine genuine vaccine
vesicle. To establish the fact satisfactorily, these children
were submitted to small-pox inoculation, and found to be
protected from the disease. Twenty-five successive inocu-
lations have now been performed with this new virus, which
may truly be named " variola vaccina," and it continues to
produce the most satisfactory vesicles ; the matter has been
employed in Bri,tol with perfect success. The importance
of this discovery cannot be too highly appreciated. Small-
pox often breaks cut in countries where cow-pox cannot
be procured; now, it is only necessary to inoculate a cow
with the small-pox, and this virulent morbid poison, so
fatal to human life, will be converted by this useful animal
into a mild fluid, capable of protecting all inoculated with
it from that d: eadtul malady, the small-pox.—Bristol
Journal.
