&M OM, EAST INDIANIASC....-A letter his been re-`
ceived from Captain Moms, of the late B..ngal
East Indiaman, stating the partictilars of the _f I ,Ss of
that valuable ship. It appears that the gunner went
tothe gun-room to examine a small cask of rum,
of about '25 gallons, w!.ich was suspected to have
leaked ; in attempting to force the hung tighter in the
cask, it unfortunately flew out, when the efff ivia im-
mediately communicated with a candle which he
held in a lantern in his hand. Slch was the rapidity
of the flames, that every attempt to check thtir pro.
gress proved ineffectual ; and, notwithstanding the
most zealous exertions of the ship's el (wh:ise con.
duct was highly meritorious), in less thin an hour
she sunk a blazing wreck. Above 20 per'sons• have
unfortunately perished, chiefly occasioned by the
sinking of busts alongside, among whom was •Cap?
taut NawEta., of the Alexander ; Mr. E. B. 13aitak:it,
Second Officer of the Surrey ; and Mr. MiLat:it,
Midshipman of the Bengal. One of the Lieutenants,
and the Master of the MALACCA, also perished on
the occasion. Ail the females and children were
saved.—The Bengal was richly laden, and was to
have tailed on the following day for England.

J. Barnett was brought up to, receive the jiio 'meat
of the Court, upon an indictment which charged him
with causing to be exposed several children in an in-

peered that he eas an apothecary in Islary•le-bonne,
who gratuitously inoeulated for the smut! poz;•and
caused the children 'to be carried through the streets
to his house. The -affidavit of one woman stated
that she carried her child to his imuse to conteh !lira
whether she had better hive it vaccinated or 'anew.
dated for the Larall pox, an..: he rectunmendea ttfe
latter ; and as she saw several children 'in the mem
under thr icilitence of the c.fts•Tder, site wai afraid
that the child might catch the intection. and tha:,
therefore, she might as well have it in.cot .ted-
that lie accordingly incicu!ased it, and di;ectmt I.er
to btiog i► to his house during the pro.,ress of the
disease, which she did, add that many ittlat-:s did the
same ; that of
.necessity she was obliged to pas:
through the streets in her way to the liothe. The
defendant, in his affidavit, stated, that he always
sited the face or the child to be covered when it was
brought, and that it should be taken into ..the fields
foi.. air.
The Counsel for thelefendant contended that if
he was adjudged liable upon this form of indictment.
it would amount tma prohibition to inoculate at all,
for the small pet, as did no more than inoculate
in the coarse of-his professional duty.
The Court said, if a person chose to inoculate for
the small pox, it must be done in a mode not clan.
