VAccrNisTroN.-13y the. Coromandel, His Ex.
cellency the Governor has. received a packet of the
Vaccine Matter, sent by the Royal Jennerian So-
ciety. Mr.SAvAGc, Assistant-Surgem, also receiv-
ed some of the,same Matter sent by Jowl KING.
Esq. Member.of the Medical Council. Immediately
on its receipt His Excellency dire.eted the principal
Surgeon to make an instant use of it on three of the
Orphan Children belonging to the Military. We,
fervently hope that so great a blessing to the rising
generatiot‘of this Colony may be successful.
MAY 20,—The experiment of. Vaccination up•is
several Orphan Children of the Miiitar, ri.olvtionecl
in our list to have been made by Mr. Hmtais,
Surgeon of the New South Wales Corps, has not
been attend:d with the wished-for success. This
Gentleman, on Thursday last, repeated the trial
upon others, in a manner not before tried :
quest appearances seem to indicate the 11 ippiest
effeet, and the event will, we hope, Yealize the most
sanguine expeaation.

THE NATCVEII.

Ave,. 10,—In the vicinity. of George's River
several depredations have' been •c,Jrnsnirted by the
Natives on the Settlers' stock, grain, and other
property. At the beginning of the last week the
farmhouse of Gilbert was attacked; and • his wife
treated with barbarity, unpardonable in the most
,savage race of men. The poor woman perceiving
that they were driving their little stock of poultry
of the ground, reproached them, with their injus.
rice, and fain would have rescind a portion of her
property ; but., the unfeeling wretch 6 turned their
spears. upon her, nearly twenty of which they
•threw, but happily without the intended barbarous
eff..6l. • One olthe miscrcants ran into the house,
and seized a musquer which she also grasped, and
determined mit to part with : she maintained a
short struggle against the assailant's whole ester.

`quitted his hold; but, with a vit,lent blow on the
head, brought her to the ground. The wretches
then took away every thing that was portable, and
made off. •Stith is the treachery of these indolent
and vicious hordes that infect the above neighbour.
