VACCINATION.

Mr...-EnrroE,—Some very interesting intelli-
gence respecting Vaccination has been. communi-
cated through your Paper, in a series of corre.
spowlence from Mr. Brown, of Kusgelburgh.
Nit% Brown appears to have nothing but truth
and the public welfare for his motive, and he per-
severes so firmly;that surely he is worthy of Alo-
five, and yet no proper notice has been taken of
his exertion:,

It does not appear that, the'letter he sent'to '66
Presjdent of 'the Surgeons ColiegF was ever com-
municated to the Coji:t Of Assistant's hy the Se-
cretarv's answer, it seems' that it was smuggled to
the Vaccine Board, and that, like many other
communications it was silenced,

I leave your 4teaders to judge whether this is
candid treatment, and whether it is, such,. us to
induce other persons to semi information to, that
Board, and. If that Institittion are only to report
the ,practice of their own servants, they can be
of no use to the public, for they haVe • appointed
practitioners without praCtice,
,find given num-
hers which/he pablie do not cloise to credit with-
out more authority. Every medical. man in this
metropolis knows of abundance of failures of the
Cow-pox, and of deaths from Small-pox after
Vaccination, but the Board declare they have'
heard of none.
The smuggling the letter and the proposal of.
Mr. Brown, is, an affront to the body of London
Surgedhs,.4, for which they ought to demand satis-
faction. They should advertise a meeting for
this purpose, and appoint a Committee to look
into the accounts and proceedings of their Courts,
and they should refrain from paying any more
quarterage till they receive such satisfaction.
The Museum, if it is of any use, is shut tip
from the, body of 'Surgeons, the Library is not
opened, and the Lectures convey rib information.
Fifty thousand pounds have been spent in demo-
lishing tivo' good houses, and how the hotly of
.Surgeons are`to he benefited remains tube disco-
vet ed. Association's to :prevent the Inoculation of
'Small-pox will only tend to make a maligna4
cdts-
ease of what nature herself has given as a wild dis-
order; for it is. to the mistakes anel the ill-treat-
ment Of injudicious persons that the fidulity of
Small-pox is to be attributed. • , •
Youlnay depend On it', Mr. Edittir, that by the
perseVerante of. such 'candid men as Mr. Brown,
the naked' truth will at length be devOoped.
Persons on the Continent are employed, at the
expellee of .Government, to travel and inquire
in-
to the general eanses of complaint igaitist Vacci-,

A few months since,,as:a labourer was tilling a
field in the vicinity at Boardesox, the'ploughshare
stitick,l'agaiwt something him!. Jq examinn,g
the spot, he found that it was a brick which had
been partly detached irtim what seemed to be the
outside. of a vault.' He took. up the brick., and
perceived that his conieetures were tvell-founded,
and immediately informed. the owner of the estate
cif his discovery. ' Workinen were employed to
effect an opening, through the top, and a sclnartt
baryhlg-place was found, which contained two
coffins mittle of the -finest marble of Parii, and lay-
ing nlong-side Och.otber. 'On opening. them, the
well preserved bodies ot a man and a woman ap-
peared, which must have lain there nearly two thou-
sand year's, as the inscription, in Greek characters
on .the marble, announced, that they were the
bodies Of a Grecian Prince and his wife,, who, in
formerages,had formed a set Clement on theseeoatits,
beyond the pillars of Hercules, • These antiquated
rem;lin,; of frail morality were cOMmitted to their
parent bust, hut the coffins-, which are of the

fication of the curious. The French tiovermnent
h;lviug heard of this discovery, offered 120,000
-franks (50001. sterling) to its• possessor, inteudince
to remove the marble sarcophagi . to the imperial
Museum, but be tefused that sun,. fanqing he
