TIONAL VACCINE ESTABLISB

AIEN T.
Copy of the last report from the National Vaccine
Establishment, dated May, 1847, to her Majesty's Prin-
cipal Secretary of State for the Home Department.
(Just presented to Parliament by her Majesty's com-
mand.)
TO TIE RIGHT HON. SIR GEORGE GREY, BART., ETC.
Sir,—The diminution of small-pox and the further
extension ar.,l success of vaccine protection during the
past year impart to our present report a cheerful and
hopeful character.
We are encouraged to believe that the prejudices,
negligence, and apathy which, on the part of the poor,
have so unfortunately retarded the progress and opposed
the success of vaccination, are gradually giving way
under the influence of a convincing experience, and the
persuasive counsel and advocacy of the medical pro-
fession.

Our Board continues to transmit the vaccine virus to
every quarter of the globe, and we have the satisfaction
to state that, after successive failures, it has at length
proved completely successful in Mauritius; a similar
success has attended it in the Cape Verd Islands; and
at Ferrisberg, Vermont, North America, our correspon-
dent informs us that upwards of a thousand families
have been vaccinated, and that a further supply of lymph
is required of us.
In the distressed districts of Ireland the small-pox has
been found to have extended with the increased cala-
mity of the country, as we are taught by experience will
invariably occur with contagious diseases under circum-
stances of extreme poverty and scanty diet. During
the last year 155,774 charges of lymph have been dis-
tributed, and 116,32 a persons reported as having been
vaccinated. There are at present twelve vaccine stations
in the metropolitan districts, and we have reason to hope
that the liberality of the Government will place at our
disposal an additional grant for the support of four other
stations, to meet the increasing, demands of a widely-
expanding population; at present the poorer inhabitants
of the pep.ulous districts of Lambeth, Chelsea, and parts
of Westminster are Wholly unprovided.

A FAMILY or PAUPERS.—Died, on Monday last,
Jsne Hall, an inmate of Scarb )rough workhouse, aged
72 years. The deceased entered the workhouse 50 years
ago. and remained an inmate until the day of her depth.
She WAS never married, but had four children, all of
whom were brought up at the expense of the union;
three of them died, and were buried from the w •rk-
house; the fourth, a daughter, now 45 years age,
has re,-ularly lived in the house, and has also had four
children, three of whom have died; the fourth, a boy cf
13, is now at sea. It is calculated that these two ge-
nerations of one family have cost the union, up to this
time, not less than 1,0001.
