VACCINATION.

Sir THOMAS TWITON presented a Petition from
the Managers of the London Yaccine Institution,
stating the effeCts of their care and exertions used
kinder their direelion, in spreading Vaccine Inocu-. '
lation. The Petitioners prayed public aid, the In-
stitution having been hitherto supported only by vo-
luntary contributions.
hie. FvLLeit aSSallled to Do6tor Jenner the whole
credit, of the great discovery of vaccination, and
condemned this Institution, as departing from Doc-
tor Jenner's supervision and that of the Itoyal jen-
nerion Society, to set up a sell of opposition shop for
vaccination. l'he persons who had set up thieshop
were discarded servants of the Royal Jennerian So-
ciety, and were no better than making way for'the
return of the Smallpox by quack vaccination. He
liad been induced by the plausible representations.of
one of these persons, a Quaker, to subscribe five
guineas to the Institution ; but when he discovered,
the cheat, he threatened to take the fellow to Bow-
street as a SVVilidlei', and thus frightened him so as to
teeke biro return the money.
Sir THou,ts Tutermi tilt no resentment for the
warm language of the Honourable Gentleman. He
wished the Honourable Gentleman was in as perfed
good humour *lib himself, as he and the House was
with him. The Joiocriatt Society was not instituted
till 1803. The original Cow Pox Inoculation So-
ciety was instituted in 1199. ,The Institution which
the Petition related to, was established in 1806, he
allowed .principally by a set of Quakers, a sect to
whose moral and virtuous principles and conduel be
wtis happy to -bear testimony— Since that time this
lnsiitution had communicated the vaccine matter to
81,000 persons in every situation of life.' The Pe-
te-)ners desiitcl only to have the Ws `alledged in
their Petition inquired into ; and hoped for public
aid only in the event of their being found entitled to
it on public grounds, and with u view to public
benefits, The Petition was ordered to lie on the
table.
On the motion of Sir A. WELLESLEY, the Lords'
Amendments to the Irish Glebe House Bill 'were
taken into consideration.
.On the suggestion of the Sreascart, who observed
that one of the Amendments nanowed a money
Clause of the Bill, the Amendments were ordered
to be taken MI6 further consideration on this day
three months,
,It appearing, however, that this Amendment was
jn ,conlormity to the intention of the CoMmons in
passing this Bill, Sir A. WELLESLEY obtained leave
to bring in another Bill to the same efled.
Alter a few prefatory observations, Mr.WesTeete
obtained leave to bi ing in a Bill for the more effectual
protection. of the Oyster Fishery.
Rase 'ciderred his notice of a motion on the
subject of Voccioatien until Thursday; His object
was try eituitiish the evils which now resulted tram
.the dissemination offipurious and improper Vaccine
meter, by the establishment of: some central insti-
tution, from which the geneine,vires:should be dis-
t; dieted without expellee. If the House should ac-
4ttiesee iii his motion, he should then propose to
sub nit ate management of the institution to a cer-
Len number of the College of Physicians.

Affairs of the East India Company at home and.
abroad, made by the Court of Direflors, and signed
by their Secretary, Which had been laid before the
Sele6t Committee on East India Affairs. This Ex-
position contained a very lamentable description. of
the situation of the Couipany, .and very different
frOm that in their subsequent Petition. Ile com-
plained of its not having been attached to the Re-
port presented to the House by the ComMittee.
Mr. R. DUNDAS denied- that there had been the
slightest intention on the part of the Committee to
Withhold from the public this document. It bad

lated almost wholly to the Affairs of the Company
abroad;- while the first Report related to the Affairs
of the Company at home.
