MATRIMONIAL NVARTARE.

Mrs. Randall, wife of William Randall, a trader- .
man of this city, was indided for affaulting and
beating her hutband.
From the evidence of Mr. Randall it appeared,
he was in a ,good line of bufinels as a paper ttaiu-
er ; that he had been married fixteen years to the
prifoner, and for the lan two had lived feparate
from her, on account of her violent and improper
conduct ; that he had entered into an agreement
to allow her 9s. 6d. a week, which he had regu-
larly paid her, and frequently in advance, but that
neverthelefs the made a pradice of repeatedly corn.

meflic quiet.
Mrs. Randall, in her defence, faid her hatband
had turned her helplefs out of his honk ; that it
was true the had agreed to live apart from him,
but that he had not paid her with regularity ; that
he lived in a (late of open adultery—of double
adultery, with the wife of a refpedable tradefman,

VACCINE INOCULATION.

'EOM THE PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE•

The Medical Committee for the Vaccine Inocu-
lation at Paris has lately publilhed the following

notice :
The committee has jull inoculated Tome cows
with the vaccine matter. This experiment has fuc-
ceedcd. The puflules appeared in the molt regu-
lar manner, and following the fame progrefs as in
man. The committee will fpecdily puhlifh a de-
tailed account of this noble experiment, which had
been before tried at Rheims with full limed's. A'
great many medical men and curious perfons came
to he convinced, by ocular demonflratinn, of the
truth of this fad, fo interefting in the hiaory of the
vaccine."
A memoir has been publifhed at Geneva on the
vaccine inoculation by Dr. ODE le, profdfor of me-
dicine, in order to be fubmitted to the miniller of
the interior, which, after giving an account of this
important difcovery, and of the progrefs and na-
ture of the difeafe, concludes with the following
obfervations on the certainty of its being a pre-
ventative :—" We have acquired certain proof, in
two ways, that the vaccine inoculation is a perfect

security a‘.zainil the finall-pox.
" ft, 'By the direr or indired communication
which all our inoculated patients had with a great
number of children attacked with the fmall-pox in
every quarter of the city. It is well known that
the (mall pox is infedious long after the patients
are in a condition to go abroad. VAN Swilvsa
ellimates that the difeafe is (till capable of cont.
municating itfelf fixty days after it has made its
appearance ; but moll patients, after the twentieth
day, go about as ufual in the streets and public
places, and wherever their bufincfs or occupations
may lead them. It is irppoflible, therefore, that
nearly four hundred children, inoculated for the
vaccine four months ago, fhould have all efcaped
if they were fufceptible of infection from an epi-
demic diftemper fo general as that which prevails
here at prefent, and to which tso children have
fallen a facritice within-our walls. None of them,
however, have had the (mall-pox except four, who
certainly had the germ of the difeafe before they
were inoculated.

‘1 2d, We have even inoculated the (mall-pox
from arm to arm, and with all the precaution ne-
ceffary to infure the fuccefs of the operation, on ten
or twelve of thofe inoculated with the vaccine, and
(even weeks thee, the fcars of the vaccine had drop-
ped off; but none of them !hewed the leaft fyrnp-
torn of general infe&ion. The incifion became
nightly inflamed ; but it fpeedily dried up without
arcolz, and without any appearance of fever.
4, We have acquired alfo, by repeated trials, the
moil complete proof that the vaccine is not a con-
tagious difeafe. In feveral families we have ino-
culated two, three, or four children after each other.
Thofe who had the difeafe ilept with fome who had
not been inoculated, and the latter were not affeCt-
ed till they were inoculated in their turn. In other
refpeCts we faw no inftance of contagion.
44 I (ball add," fays Dr. ODUIt, " that it did not

appear to us that the inoculated vaccine was fol-
lowed by any other malady; neither pimples nor
eruption, neither fore eyes nor bad ears, nor any
accumulations of matter fo often obferved after
a (mall-pox, both when inoculated and when the
difeafe takes place in the natural way : on the
contrary, we have inoculated feveral very delicate
children, whofe health teemed to be much improv-
ed by the operation in every refpeet."
Fitted of a letter Iron Df. MARIS A L dated Valetta

(Matta), January 11, 18oi.
" Since my laft, I have the pleafure to inform
you that Dr. WALKER and myfelf have been very
fuccefsful in purfuing the objca of our zniffion. We
have have had the happinefs to arreft the deftroy-
ing progrefs orthe (mall-box, which has raged very
much, and has been very mortal at Minorca and
Malta, and on board the fleet. The Minorqueens,
who at firft received the vaccine inoculation cau-
tioufly, arc now very happy, and it is generally
adopted among them. At Malta, the moft com-
plete fuccefs attended us. When we arrived here,
we at firit inoculated fume children belonging to
the Foundling Hofpital, and from them fevtral
others; but, boding it difficult to perfuade the
people of its efficacy, we lubjefted many of thefe
to the teft of the infection of the matter of the
(mall-pox, upon all of whom it had not the leaft
effea. This experiment was publicly made in the
pretence of the Governor!, the Tunifian Ambaf-
fador, the Brhifh Conful, and many of the prin. ,
cipal inhabitants. In going to the hofpital we
fouled a procefflon : the Governor walked at our
head, in his uniform, the Clergy in their canoni-
cals ; and we were accompanied by molt of the
Medical Profeffors. The fuccefs attending our
xpei intent, and the publicity of the efficacy of
the Jenuerian innoculation, has caufed the inhabi-
tants to come in great numbers to be inoculated.
The Go vernor hasltad Dr. Jr z a's work tranflated
cad printed for the inhabitants, and he has alto
eitablifhed an hofpital for the inoculation of the
pour, under the name of the Jennerian inftitution ;
and as on our arrival we found the fmall-pox in
the ifland, the inhabitants have preffed in crowds,
both the mars of the people and the nobility. Dr.
NNER'Sdifcovery is held here in fuch high efleem,
that the governor, who is the idol of the Maltefe,
and fur whofe welfare he is continually labouring,
among other coticilating meefures, boafts of the
fervice England renders them by the introduftion
of the cow-pox. He has alfo behaved to us in the
moll kind and handfnme manner, and has allotted
to us, fur our refidence during our flay here, the
mint beautiful palace of Valetta, heretofore the
legrand mailer's. Thc fmall-pox being very preva-
nt ou board the fleet. it became neceffary, on ac.
count of its, &ern flay Isere, that one of us fhould
accompany the expedition to complete the inocula-
tion; and Dr. VsraLIELR'S enterprifing fpirit could

pox raging in the Alexander and other veffels:

The commander in chief thinks it necelfary to
recommend to the rcfpetive Captains an imme-
diate application to Dr. MARSHALL and Dr. Wee-
KIR, whole excellent and fafe mode of treatment
has been experienced on board the Foudroyant
and other (hips in preventing the dreadful effeds
to often attending the fmall-pox, but which may
now be fo cafily avoided, without danger or in-
convenience. By command of the Admiral,

" By a frigate which arrived here hail night, I
' learn that the fleet and army were on the t 3th intl.
in the bay of Marmoriffe; and Dr. WALK ER fends
me word, that on board the fleet the fmall-pos
feems now to be extintl; and that on the ictla of
January he had inoculated the Corfican troops .n
the veffel where it had made its laft appearance.
During his abfence, I have inoculated the troops
left here under the command of General Picor ;
and am occupied from morning to night in vifiting
patients both in town and country. I hope foon I
to be joined by my colle otle, and then we intend
to fail for Palermo. It as extremely gratifying
that the benevolent intentions of his Royal High.
nefs the Duke of YORK towards the army are fully
anfwered by the attention we have received from
the commanding officers at the garrifons of Gi-
braltar, Minorca, and Malta ; and alfo from Lord
KEITH and Sir RALPH Astacrtomati in the expe-
dition."

Yellerday a young Gentleman of the name of
Swan, of a very refpedable family in Ireland, was
examined before N. BOND, Efq. at Bow-ftreet, on
fufpicion of forging two drafts on Meas. Day SO.
DODDS, bankers, at Charing-crofs ; the one for the
payment of 201. and the other for 301. purporting
to be the drafts of the Marquis of DOWNSH las.
Mr. Heald, clerk to Mellis. Drummonds, hated
that on Tuefday laft the draft for 201. was pre-
tented for payment by a man to whom it was paid
in two tol. notes ; that on reference to the Mar.
quis of Downfliire, he was informed it was a for.
gery, and that the Marquis had reafon to believe
it had been done by a man of the name of Swag.
Yefierday morning a boy prefented a draft at their
houfe for payment for 301. purporting to be drawn
by the Marquis of Downfhire, and payable to Mr.
David Somerville or bearer, dated London, of
the fignature refembling that which had been pre-
tented on Monday and paid, and which the Mar-
quis had declared to be a forgery. The boy was
queftioned as to whom he received the draft from,
when he laid he received it from a Gentleman at
the Swan Inn, New-fireet, Covent-garden ; the boy
accompanied the witnefs to the Inn, and the pri-
foner was pointed out as the man, upon which he
was fecured, and taken to the Marquis's houfe, in
Hanover-fquare. The Marquis was not in London.
—On fearching the prifoner, a letter was found
upon him, written by the Marquis of Downfhire,
and addreffed to the prifoner; and on a blank fide
of the paper, various experiments were diCcovrt cd,
imitating the manner that the Marquis figns his
name, which the prifoner acknowledged to be done
by him; and on his being called upon to give an
account of himfelf, he !kid, he was an Enfign in
,the 3d Weft-India Regiment, now at Barbadoes ;
and he acknowledged that the Marquis had been
a great friend to him, and had releafed him out of
prifon when he was confined for debt ; and that
laft Monday he was very much in want of money,
and on communicating the fame to a friend, he ad-
ailed him to draw a draft on Meas. DauMMONDS,
and fign his friend, the Marquis of Downfhire's
name, and there was no doubt but it would be
paid ; he acknowledged that he had been impru-
dent enough to do it; and he likewite acknow-
ledged that he had forged the other draft without
the advice of any one. He was committed for fur-
ther examination.

Yeßerday WilSaws Malan, a middle-aged man,
was charged upon oath at Guildhall, with having
Bolen from the warehoufe of Metl'rs. Lifton and
Jones, of Lawrence-lane, Cheapfide, a number of
packing-theets. Fully committedfor trial.
Yellerday Yoko Laughton was examined a fecond
time, at the Manfion-houfe, charged with having,
on Monday laft, picked the pocket of the Rev. Mr.
DAVIS, of Blackfriars road of a prayer-book.
The prifoner was fully comniitted for trial.
The Rev. T. HILLYAID, of Olney, Bucks, in a
letter of the 16th ultimo, to Mr. Paaasms, of Lei-
cefter•fquare, the Patentee and Proprietor of the
Metallic Traairrs, has Rated the following remark.

on her hands, and they proved cffedual; for in fourteen days
they removed the contradlon of her fingers, and a callus from
her knuckles !—We then began their application from the hip
to the Ices, which drew down the complaint, and occafioned,
