SMALL PDX.

Lils'entiso, a Public Meeting was held at the
ondon Tavern, to consider of the best- means of .
F4nating.lnoculation by the Cow-pox, agreeably
JetiNtra's 4iscovery.
The Right Hori- the Loan MAtote. took the
Chair at about a quarter after one o'clock. He e*-
Plained, in a short, but impressiye speech, with
shat pleasure he saw 'around him, a meeting of
Noblemen and Gentlemeo, so eminently resped-
tbie ; how great be conceived to be the utility of
Vaccination ; arid how sublime the beneficence that
wouldlabour to make it, as soon as possible, the
Means of exterminating the ills of one of the most
terrible atilidiona under which humanity had ever
suffered.
Mr. TRAVERS stated, that for toot) years the
"call-pox had thinned the population of Europe,
had robbed the affections of fathers, ,the yearning
hearts of
,mothers, of their dearest joys; that the
coaling prailice of SYDENHAtit, invented about one
handrerl and fifty years since; terided to lessen
the devastation ; that inoculation, commencing
it -a later period, had, in fad, increased the
mischief whi.:ll it seemed to diminish ; that the
present annual deaths by the Smallpox, were, for
1,4 Metropolis 2000, for the whole. Empire .40,00ci ;
Inal'll..' It IINEk'S invention, affording an effedual
preventive, not communicable. otherwise than by
inoculation, vieltied a sure hope of, the ultimate
! !extirpation of this most terrible of plagues; that,
for this reason, the design of the spresent Meeting,
expressed in an Address to the
,Public, which he
rnure(l) was one of the most beneficent to which
hurnan beings could, in this state of existence, give
their aid.

Mr. MoottE, the Translator, or rather the inf.

These Poems are recommended by so much genius,
taste, and sensibility, that the Author Might rather
be expeCted to wear his laurels with pride, than

If the late AEI of Parliament, made to regulate
the Fare of Porters, allows them to receive a sepa-
rate sum of money for every patcel they carry to' a

a pheasant. ,and a brace of birds, if diretled to the

A horrible crime was lately • committed in the
environs of Vienna. A girl who had been in service
in that City, And had saved 400 florins, set out
from thence for the purpose of taking ;he money
home to her
.family. In her way she stopped at A
public house in a Village in order to pass the night,

tions. Having related to her. Hostess the objed of
her journey, the latter formed the diabolical projeei
of murdering her for . the purpose of getting
possessiOn of the 'Money. In order to execute this
horrid crime with the greater facility, she proposed
that the girl should sleep in her own chamber in her
daughter's bed, and that the latter should remove
into a closet, which was assented to. Before they.
retired to rest, however, and in the absence of the
mother, the two Cousins had some conversation, at)d
at length agreed that the daughter should sleep in
her" own bed, and that .the other girl should sleep in
the closet, after which they both retired to their
respedive beds as agreed upon between themselves.
Soon after midnight the mother repaired to the bed
where she supposed her destined vii9im to be asleep,
bat where in consequence of . the agreement of
which she was ignorant, her own daughter was then
lying, and poured, boiling fat down her throat. She.
soon however discovered her, mistake, anti, recog.; •
nixing her daughter by. her cries, called • loudly, for
help, but all assistance was useless, as the 'unfortunate
girl expired in the most dreadful agonies.
