THE COUNTRY OF .TENTER.—On looking at the
registers of York, he (Dr. Laycock) found that twenty
children had died from small-pox, and on visiting the School
for the blind the other day, he ascertained that one-half of
the pupils were blind in consequence of having had the
smallpox. It was well known that such need not -be the
case in this land; and when he remembered that this land
gave birth to Jenner, he blushed for the neglect which was
manifested ; and well might a foreigner express .his surprise
that so many should be the victims of that disease in this
country, when in Hanover and Prussia he never saw a single
instance of blindness from the small-pox.--Dr. Laycocit's
Speech at York, Sept. 12, 1846.
- BANKRUPTCY OF THE LEEDS AND WEST RIDING
