Marshal Niel is now at Rochelle witnessing ex-
periments of firing against the iron-cased walls of Fort
d' Enette, which, although battered in breach at 700 metres'
range, have hitherto resisted all the shot of the Prilio !bat-
ing battery. The Marshal is himself to direct some fresh
means of attack.

The Journal des Landes states that a fated acci-
dent occurred a few days back, during a bull fight,
at the fete of Grenade, in that department. A MR, named
Palocque, entered the arena to fight a bull well known for
its fierceness, t.nd was instantly so fearfully gored in the
left side by the animal that he died ten minutes afterwards.
How LADY MARY " FOUND OUT" INOCULA-
TION.—At a time when small-pox was as destruc-
tive as the plague itself, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
happening to be at Adrianople, was struck with the fact
that the Turks were in the habit of making terms with the
disease, by receiving it into their system by way of the
skin, instead of by the lungs, as in the natural mode of in-
fection. Possibly the lively nature of the lady's letters had
more to do with the sensation this new practice created in
England than the magnitude of the truth she made known,
and to this day WO believe that the public have some ides
that it was a discovery made by her ladyship, and which
she had the boldness to put in practice upon her own son.
Yet no fact is more certain than that throughout Asia the
practice of inoculation had obtained for ages—and that the
Chinese—the inevitable nation to which we have always to
go back for the birth of any great discovery—systemati-
cally employed inoculation as early as the sixth century.
Yet strange to say, in Asia this precious knowledge came to
a dead stand still—and had it not been for the lively English
lady, inoculation might not have been introduced into Eng-
land for another half century, and possibly vaccination
would even now be in the womb of "le' That inocula-
tion was a grand step towards the practice of vaccination
there can be little doubt, although science did net at the
same time appreciate the fact. It taught us that the dis-
ease received into the circulation by the skin was infinitely
