AItROGANCE PUNISIFED:--A few weeks since,
one of those gentry who fancy taciturnity a proof of wisdom,
and abruptness an indication of consequence, presented himself
at the coach-office belonging to one of the principal hotels in
the *est of England, about eight o'clock in the morning, when
coaches to every direction were on the point of leaving,and in-
quired " how long it would be before the coaches started ?"
He was civilly 'answered, " In a few moments : pray, Sir,
where are you going ?" The petulant traveller angrily ex-
claimed,—‘ Whinquiresthat to you ?" To the repeated inquires
of the clerks' and porters he abruptly returned the seine an
swer ; and at laSt added,--" They are a set of d—d imperti-
nent, inquisitive rascals." Seeing a coachman take his.seat,
he threw himself into the vehicle, and the horses started. Af-
ter travelling some time, ' the coachman asked 'the guard,---;
" Where's that -igeimman inside- going ;_ for lie's not on the
way-bill ?" The guard opened the coach door, and politely
addressing the sullen 'inmate, repeated the offensive question.
The traveller, choking with rage, exclaimed,—" You rased,
what is it to you ? I have been asked the same impertinent
question an hundred times this morning ; but if I must tell
yon, I am going to London:" -The guard coolly replied,--
" Then; Sir, you fife rather wide of your mark, for you are-now
on your road to Exeter."—( Western Lunzinarv.

CURIOU, PARADOX.—III an
Arabic manuscript was 'found the following remarkable de.;
cision of a dispute :--Two Arabians sat "down to dinnef; one
had five loaves, the other three. A stranger passing by, de-
sired permission to eat with them, which they agreed to. The
stranger dined, laid- deiwn eight_ pieces of money, and de-
parted. The proprietor of the 'five loaves took up five pieces,
and left three for the other, who objected, and insisted for
one half. The cause came on .before Ali the illagis'r,te,
Who-gave the following judgment :—" Let the own rof the
five loaves have seven pieces of money, and the owner of
the three loaves one," Query the justice of the sente -c ?-•
Answer. Ali's sentence was just ;_ for, suppose the loaves to
be divided each into three equal partS, making twenty-four
parts in all the eight loaves, and eachperson to cat an equal or
eighth part ; therefore the stranger had seven parts of the
perdon who contribUted five loaves, or fifteen parts, and on'y
one of him who contributed three loaves, which make nine
parts!

we are enabled to state, that the meritorious exertions of our
medical officers to establish the vaccine disease in the colony,
have at length proved successful. In the month of April last,
Dr. Barry, Surgeon to the Forces, was fortunate enough ti
introduce the disease amongst some of the children in this
town ; and by the speedy extension 'of vaccination, the progress •
of the small-pox, which had at that period commenced its ra-,,
vages in several of the Negro villages, arid particularly at •
Hastings, has been happily arrested. Since the introduction
of the vaccine disease, upwards of two thousand persons have
been vaccinated within the Peninsula. Lymph has been sent
to the Isles de' Loss, the Gambia, and the Gold Coast, and
every means taken to induce the natives of the interior to par-
take of its advantages. The variolous disease, thank God, has
completely disappeared ; not an instance of its occurrence hay-
ing latterly come within our knowledge. It is remarkable,
that, for several years past, although every precantion had been
repeatedly used for the safe conveyance of the .vaccine matter
from England to this coast, it invariably failed until the pre-
sent instance. • Dr. Barry has, therefore, by his success, con-
ferred a mosiArriPortant benefit on the colony, for which every
individual interested in the welfare of Africa must feet.

The coffee plants which his Excellency dir.tributed 'thud

The plan of the .town lots and streets haS been strictly ad=

" Thursday, his Excellency the governor rode to the moun-
tain village, accompanied by the Deputy Inspector of Hospitalsf
Dr. Nicol. The' tote of the Africans lately' received from
slave vessels particularly occupied the atterition of his Ex-
cellency. Many Of these poor creatures are in a very 'delAii-•
fated slate, but, we rejoice to.say, they rapidly' recover, rthder
the kind treatment of the Gentlemen' of the Medical Staff sta.:
tioned in the villages, and by the hUrnane .attention of their
countrymen and the several Superintendapts. His Excellency
,
returned to 00vernment House at a late hour in the evening.
" kis with singular satisfaction we have again to bear testi-
mony to the successful zeal of Lieut. Hagan, in the cause of
Africa and of suffering humanity. Yesterday, this distinguished
officer brought into harbour a large Portuguese brig with three
hundred slaves on boatel—she proves to be the Estrella, M. P.
• dos Santos, master, cleared'out at Bahiafor Malembo, and fur-
nished:with a Royal passport to take slaves from that place ; she
was,, however, seized in the Bight of Benin, nine days from
Lagos, where her cargo of human flesh was Shipped.. The
Estrella had been previously boarded by the Thistle off Cape.
Coast Castle, at which time the master professed himself to be
bound to Elmina for a supply of. watt; provisions, &c. to en-
able him to Proceed on Ins voyage ; but it now appears, that
the only supply he
.procured 'vas canoes, which, we lament ter
state, are there furnished to every slave vessel without the least

reserve.
"In the River Calabra Lient. Hagan' detained another Por-
tuguese vessel, the San Jose Hallaxa, with twenty naves on
board. This vessel, a schooner, was found on examination to be
in so leaky a stwe, that she could not be brought to this port;
she was therefore destroyed, the slaves being first removed on
board the Thistle. Donna Maria da Cruz, the daughter of the
notorious Gomez, of Prince's Island, is the sole owner of
the San Jose Haihata. The schooner Conceicao, condemned
In the Mixed Court sometime since, was also the property of
t e same lady, who, it would seem, bids fair to rival her fathur
in slave-dealing notoriety. Gomez was formerly governor of
Prince's, and at present holds a high station among the llonour-
i able Council of His Most Faithful Majesty in that Island:"
