reject the light and trashy, the base and deleterious food

way by which sound principles, and therefore pure mo-
rality, can be inculcated?—the vices of the proud and
wealthy restrained in a country where riches are great-

EFFECT OF VACCINATION ON THE GENERAL
MORTA LITY.
FROM THE LONDON MEDICAL REPOSITORY.
1. The small-poz formerly carried off from 1-12th to.
I.loth of the population.
2. Of twelve children horn at Berlin, one formerly
perished of small-poz ; at present, not mote than one in
116 dies from the same cause.
S. The diseases of infancy are more common than
before the introduction of vaccination, because the num-
ber of infants which survive is more considerable than
it used to be.
4. Those diseases formerly destroyed 39 infants in
100 ; at present only St in 100 perish by them : so that
before the introduction of vaccination SI children in
100 died, whilst at present only 43 die out of the same
number. There is therefore a sensible diminution in
the mortality among infants of a tender age.
5. Formerly, the.general calculation was of one death
in every 28 inhabitants ; it is at present not more than
one in 34. There is therefore a sensible diminution in
the general mortality.

CHELTINH.4M, MARCH 4.

An alarming fire broke out this morning, about nine
o'clock, iu the house of Colonel Nichollson, situated at
Charlton Kings, near Cheltenham. The cry of Fire!"
soon spread in all directions, and crowds, from every
quarter, were seen running to witness the catastrophe.
At about half-past nine, one engine was upon the spot,
and was brought to play upon the burning pile, which
by this time was flaming with unabated fury ; shortly
after another engine arrived, which being plentifully
supplied with w.rter, soon gained upon the devouring
element. The family had just sat down to breakfast
when the flue was Gist discovered, and, as may be sup-
posed, were thrown into the greatest confusion and
alarm. It has been ascertained that the fire originated
in the pipe of the Hall stove, which, becoming red-hot, set
fire to some wood-work by which it was encased. For-
tunately, they were able to get nearly all the furniture
out, with many valuable pictures, which were all heaped
together in the lawn before the house. The flames
were entirely got under by twelve o'clock, after having
destroyed all the upper part of the house. The house
is delightfully situated, within a hundred yards of the
Turnpike-read, and surrounded by beautiful pleasure
grounds. Too much praise cannot be given to the nu-
merous individuals who exerted themselves upon this
occasion, by whose efforts the flames were ultimately
extinguished.—lt is said that the house is insured.

ASSESSED TAXES BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the com-
mittal of this 13111 pro forma, in order that it should be printed.—
He wished to mention one measure of relief which he bad emitted
on the night of his statement. It referred to internally lighted
houses—it was to remove from internal lights the operation of the
window-tax.

)Jr. CALCRAFT begged to call the attention of the Right
Hon. Gentleman to the case of certain poor people in Dorsetshire,
who kept dairies and used a horse, which was not exempted from
the tax, although their masters, the farmers, paid more fur horses
used for a similar purpose.
The CH A NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that if the
'Honourable Member would give him a note of the case, he would
see to its relief.

Mr. )lONCK called the attention of the Right Hon. Gent!e-
man to the ease of persons who were charged with the tax on a
groom, for a boy who occasionally cleaned a horse or a carriage.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that such
cases were relieved by the kill.—=The Bill then went through a
Committee, and was ordered to he printed.
Sir H. WILSON, Ur. Causer, Mr. PROBIN, and another Honour-
able Member, were excused fur non-attendanee at the call cf the
House, and the order for their being taken into custody discharged.
Mr. II ER RIES gave notice, on behalf of the Chancellor of the

every effort with the fast pulling boats to get holtill

being here so inn:►.- is in consequence of the steam
vessel, Powerful, and four rouith boats not being able
to get imp 'the litatbuddy til the sp►ings, and I am
happy to sty they are all in row. 1 expect we shall
attack the enemy's position at Donabew to•morrow. It
is a well built stockade about 16 feet high, with a ditch
of 10 feet round it. About 100 pieces of artillery with
11,000 men commanded by 13nndoolah. Our force,
reckoning sailors, artillerymen, &c. amounts to 1000
m n, and we ate all in great hopes they mill fight us.
Our shoes are worn out on shore, and afl 'at the copper
on our bot4nms ruining after them. I shall let you
know the result of the attack. We received a letter
this day front the levied columns, stating that they are
advancing towards Ptome. We get fresh beef every
day, and the villagers are quite friendly to us, bringing
eggs, poultry, and vegttables. In the attack on the
Ist March not one afloat was touched ; about four men
on shore slightly wounded. We killed nine or ten of
, the enemy, and took several prisoners."
.1 Extract of a letter from Arracan, dated 3d April:—" Two
triodes are proceeding to Rattner. Another force is expected to
be dispatched to Talah. Head-quarters to remain here for some
time. The baggage is still M the rear ; and as the country all round
otters many obstacles to moving, it is feared the present Campaign
will see us no farther on our road to Ummerapoora. Now and
then we shall, no doubt, digress, in order to chastise the enemy,
should he appear to annoy us. The greatest praise is due to the
Quarterma.ter and Survey Department; they have had a toilsome
time of it."

MADRAS, APRIL 16.
We learn from a correspondent that Brigadier-Gen. M‘Creagh's
divii.ion left Rangoon on the 15th of Match. The same corre-
spondent, noticing the attack of Donabew, reports that it is consi-
dered to be extremely strong-1,200 yards each face, with 25 guns
on each. aril having a deep ditch—the wall of the fortification bring
of brickwork cased with timber, 13 fret in thickness, with pits
and apikes covered with grass, so as to be hid From view, all round
the place. Bundoolah is said to have had 15,000 fighting men ; our
force was not more than 750 bayonets. It was understood that Sir
Archibald Campbell had joined lrigadier General Cotton ; and it
was reported that Bundoolah had evacuated Donabew ; meaning, it
was thought, to proceed again te Rangoon- Brigadier General
M‘Creagh's division was about eight miles from Rangoon on the
20th of blare)), and was expected to move on the following day.

GUILDHALL

E. W. Jasper, charged with forging the acceptances upon four
bills of exchange, which he uttered to Messrs. Suttaby and Co. of
Stationers'-court, booksellers;was finally examined. It was deemed
necessary to go into such evidence only as related to two of the
bills, for .025 each, at six months date, purporting to be accepted
by Mr. Cuddon, of Paternoster-row. Mr. Codslun was ready to
swear to the acceptances not being in his hand-writing, but by the
rule of evidence, he was nut the best witness to that fact, because
interested; his shop-boy, who had been with him a year and a halt,
and had seen him write daily, supplied the deficiency, and swore
positively that the signatures across the bills were not Mr. Cuddon's
writing. The receiving of the bills from the prisoner being also
proved, and he offering no defence, the Alderman committed hint
for trial.

William Marshall, who stood charged with defrauding an elderly
widow, who resides in an almshouse at Cripplegate, of £5O, under-
went an examination. The father of the prisoner told a long story,
of the progress of the courtship, and his repeated efforts to break it
off, by representing to the widow the inequality between their ages;
and to his son that she bad been asked in Church only the Sunday
before she picked him up, her name being givt n out in conjunction
with one John bliCoy. The widow, however, replied," Yes, I will
have William, and he shall be muter of my all. lam going to
draw £5O to pay his debts, and we shall live happy and comfortable."
Mr. Alderman theca enquired whether the prisoner could offer
any security for the repayment of the money?
The prisoner replied lie could not, nor would he consent to his
watch and seals being retained till he repaid the widow even £€s.
Alr. Butler ( Mr. Harmer's clerk), who appeared for the widow,
said," Well, Sir, as you will not behave with common honesty, she
shall have the watch now, and I will indemnify the Officer for de-
livering it to her."
Mr. Humphreys (far the prisoner), " No, I must protest against
such a course, and such imputations. There are faults on both sides.
Here is an old woman of 55--''
Mrs. Medcraft (vehemently)—"'Tis false, 'tis false, I am no such
age, Sir; 'tis false."
The ALDSIMAN eventually said, he would order the officer to re-
tain the watch till the prisoner redeemed it with £5, but he would
discharge him, regretting that the law would not reach him.

Pat. Doyle was charged with having stolen an infant child be-
longing to a woman named Littleton. It appeared from her evi-
dence, that about two years and a half ago, when she resided in
Bainbridge-street, St. Giles's, her house was partly destroyed by
fire, and from that time shelled not seen her child. She felt confi-
dent that It had not been lost in the flames. The prisoner resided
next door, and bad been very attentive to it ; but on the day of the '
fire he disappeared front the neighbourhood, and had not been seen
there till Saturday last, when sbe gave him into custody. The pri-
soner protested his innocence ; but .Sir Guntoa Reititater said he
would give time for inquiry, and remanded him till Saturday.
Shortly after his removal from the bar, two respectable persons
came into the office, spoke higbly of the prisoner's character, said
they were sure he had not stolen the child, and that since its disap-
pearance he bad been repeatedly in the neighbourhood, and that
abundant opportunities had been afforded the prosecutrix to have
had him taken into custody.
Sir GEORGE FARRANT said, a charge of felony had been preferred
against him, and it was his duty, as a Magistrate, to give time to
produce evidence.

and kicked him in a very brutal manner.—Several officers at length
interfered, and the prisoner ran away. lie was followed by the
complainant and the officers, and, on entering the prisoner's room,
he seized the complainant by the collar, and made an attempt to bite
his ear off ; but, the complainant stooping, the prisoner bit a piece

hat was shewn to him; and ordered the prisoner to find good bail
for his appearance at the Sessions.

TURIN, OCTOBER 1.

His Majesty considering the necessity of reserving for the use of
the Royal Navy such trees as. are fit for ship-building, whether
growing in the forests or dispersed in the country, has issued a new
decree on the abject, of which the following is the substance
The timber trees to be reserved for the Navy, are the oak,
the elm, the pine, and the fir. Proprietors of such trees,
are to give in, six months before the time when they intend
to fell them, a statement in writing, declaring the supposed
age, quality, &c. This statement is to be delivered to the
Intendant of the Province, in duplicate, who shall sign and return to
the owner one copy, which will serve the latter as a proof of having
delivered his statement. 'This statement shall be laid successively
before the Sub-Inspector of Forests, the Intendant General of the
Navy, and the Board of Admiralty, which latter dell, if it thinks
fit, send a person to look at the trees in question, and to mark such
as he may think-it necessary to reserve for the Royal Navy. These
trees are to remain untouched till the Admiralty gives orders to fell
and remove them ; the price to be Axed by two arbitrators, one
chosen by the owner, the other by the Navy Board ; if they differ,
the Intendant of the Province shall add a third. If none of the
trees are marked in six months after delivering the statement, the
owner may proceed to cut them down.

James Walters was charged with having committed a highway
robbery. The complainant, William Anderton, who is a private
in the Ist Regiment of Grenadier Guards, said, that he met the
prisoner on Wednesday evening, in Holborn, sad he asked where
be could find a purchaser fat a silver watch he bad to dispose of.
The prisoner took him to a house in St. Giles's, where scOs. was
offered him, but he refused to take that sum. He left the house and
had got into Broad-street, when the prisoner came up to him, and
again requested to see the watch. Having obtained possession of
it he ran sway. Witness followed, and in the Seven Dials he was
knocked down, but he at length came up with the prieoner and gave
him into custody. It was proved by other witnesses that the pri-
soner bad the watch in his possession, and before he was secured
he threw it away. He was committed for trial.

WORSHIP STREET.

Mary Grant, a respectable looking woman, was charged with
shoplifting. She went to the shop of Messrs. Cleavely and Hut-
chinson, in aliswell-street, and while making some trifling pur-
chases, the shopnaan missed a card of lace, He intimated his sus-
picions, when the prisoner exclaimed, a Dear me ! it may have got
into my pocket with my handkerchief !" and putting her hand in,
pulled out not one, but two cards.—Fully committed.

Three drivers of coal waggons were charged with defrauding the
Turnpike Trust. One passing through early in the morning received
a ticket, which he gave to the others, thus enabling them to pass
without paying. A boy who witnessed the transfer informed the
Collector, and the culprits were sentenced to pay IDs. each, or take

UNION-HALL
Two men named Tri'", and Hayes, and another of the name of
To:er, were brought before the Magistrate, for having been found in
'an unfinished house, at three o'clock, on Wednesday morning. On
Trigg and Hayes were found a quantity of instruments used by bur.
glary. Tozer, however, said be was not concerned with the other
men. Ile admitted, in consequence of his poverty, that he was
obliged to seek refuge for the night in the old house spoken of, but
then it was for no improper purpose. " Although," said be, 0 I am
in the height of disuess, no one can accuse me of dishonest practices."
Toter entered into a long detail of the respectability of his family, in
older, as he said, to do away with, the prejudice that must exist
against him on account of his having been discovered in the haunt
of robbers. He had a brother a Commander in the Fast India
Company's Service; another was a Clergyman, and a third was now
travelling on the Continent. None of them, however, unfortunately
for him, could now appear in his behalf. He had himself been re-
cently in circumstances very different to those in which he now ap.
prated, having been heir-at-law to Madame Storace. He was left
considerable property by way of a life annuity, which he, on an evil
day, disposed of at Garraway's. In speculations he spent the
money, and ever since had been in indigence. Since his apprehea.
skin, he had written to a Gentleman in Tavistock-square, who knew
his family well, and would come forward in his behalf on this oc-
casion. The Gentleman to whom he had sent not being in at-
tendance. he, as well as the others, were remanded.

THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—The ap.
Fri:web of a New Year induces the Proprietor of this Work to
say a word or two respecting its future arrangements. In the hrst
place, he is happy to state that the writers who have already esta-
blished themselves as favourites of the Public in this popular mis-
cellany, will continue, without a single exception, to contribute to
its pages. This alone, it may be assumed;is sufficient to secure a
continuance of the very extensive circulation which the work is
known so lowg to have enjoyed ; but, in addition to this claim, the
New MOSTIII.V Al•CA71101 will ~mimosa* rise Now Year with an
accession to its force, of new Contributors of first-rate Genius and
Information, some of whom have, in other Publications, been
often greeted with the undivided applause of the town, but who
now intend to devote themselves exclusively to this periodical.
The contents of the volumes for, the present year, whether in
articles of permanent and historical value, such as the Essays of Mr.
Campbell, the Papers on Greece and Guatemala, the Letters from
the East, the Sketches of Russia, the Accounts of the Present State
of Jurisprudence in Ireland, the Memoir of Earl Bothwell, by'
Himself, the Original Epistles of Burke, &c. or in the lighter ef-
fusions of imagination and wit, have beta considered as among the
most original and valuable that ever came within the pages of any
periodical Publication; in addition to which, the New Monthly
Magazine includes the advantages of a Review and an Annual Re-
gister, by its account of all interesting New Publications, Foreign
as well as English—Biographical Notices of Distinguished Cha.
ranters—Essays on the Fine Arts, Music, and the Drama—Lite-
rary and Scientific Varieties, New Inventions, Discoveries, and
Improvements--Rural Economy—Meteorological, Agricultural,
and Commercial Reports. Political Events, and Important Occur-
rences, throughout Great Britain, arranged under the several
Counties, all of which will be found of high value for present or fu-
ture reference.

able opportunity for commend:lg, are requested to send their or-

A suppliant to your window comes.
Who trusts your faith, and fears no gli!e:
He claims admittance for your crumbs,
And reads his import in your smile!
For cold and cheerless is the day,
And he has sought the hedges round;
No berry bangs upon the spray,
Nor worm, nor ant-egg, can be found
Secure his suit will be pr .;^rred,

No fears his slender feet deter;
For sacred is the household bird
That wears the scarlet stomacher !
