A fingular intlance of the wonderful ftrength and
fwiftnefs of the Hare a few days ago occurred, that
deferves a place in the annals of Iportino.— Sw::et-
man's hounds in going to the ttrancl near Raheny,
where they are accullorned to be exercifed, they ac-
cident4ly put op a hare near the ruins of Kilharrick
Church—being clofely preffed, and the tide being er -
tirely out, the took flraight towards the fe4—atter
running a confiderable dillance aJleld, the dr.uh?td

Cued, and finding it irnpoffible to reach the Chore, fye

flowing tide, and frightened by the delighted feaman
who manned their Itranded vet Tels to witnefs the

On Saturday Eft there was a dreadful thunder-

The Royal Jennerian Society yefterday held its an-
niverfary feitival at the London Tavern, the Earl of
BLRKELEY in the chair. We were rejoiced to hear,
by the Report which was made by the Truflees,
that this moll benevolent Inflitution, under the AUf-
pices of their MAJESTIES, has conquered to a great
degree all the prejudices of the ignorant, and has
ellablithed MeV on a rock which cannot he fbaken.
It is moll extraordinary that, though this happy
art of preventing the Ravages of the Small Pox
took its rife in England, it has made a much more
rapid progrefs in every other country of the world.
—ln Paris 60,000 Perfons were Vaccinated by the
Society in three Months. In London not more
than 12,911 have been inoculated by the Society in
three years! But if England has been more (low is
adopting the beneficent praCtice than other countries,
owing perhaps to its refleCting,charaCter, vet now that
the art has manifeßed its preterenct, there is no doubt
of its fuperfeding the vat iolous praaice. Asa proof
of its general adoption, four-lif,Ls of the Company at
the London Tavern yellerday were medical prafti-
tioners, who from coofcientious motives and expe-
rience, all concur in giving their countenance to the
invention. The day was (pent with high conviviality.
and very confiderable additions were spade to the
funds of the Society.

COURT OF ROtio's BENCH, MAY i 6.

The Court was occupied for five hours this day
in herring Connie! for and again!' a Rule for a
Mandamus to the Governors and Company of the
Confervalors of the Thames, direhing them to re
fore Chriflian, and discharge Soffery, as Reeler o'
that Bidv.

The Aft 'inch?' which the Corporation was formed
was the I stir of Charles the Second, and they had
the power of malr;ntr. among other t.flicers, that-of
Regifter, which was eive.
For everal l, 4!t
years the Regifler a&d by Deputy,
and when Mr. Cole, a former Regiller, died, his
Deputy continned in office for Come time after, with
nut ariv app intment by the Corporation, and ar that
time ftveral perfons regilleted their deeds with him.
An ele&ion coon after took place, and thofe perfons
voted for Sofrei y. by which he gained a majority,
and was appointed.
The (-hie tritqlion was, whether there Regiflries
. were r'tod and valid ? and the next, whether the ap-
pointment was that of Deputy or Co-Regifier, as
Mr. Cole had appointed his Deputy without the in-
, eerfreerice ,f the Corporation, and he did not receive
lany emsohiment or falary from that body ?
The Court, after hearing the arguments on both
fides, confirlered it a queflinn of importance, and de-
ferred jini-zmeer ...la future dry.

WAY MFSURIER w. VAUCHAN.
This u ac An aftion up•m a policy of infurance of
the flap Prelident. of America, and was tried at
the Sittings after lafl Term. Ile quei.
Lion was, whether the name in the policy was fuffi-
tient to entitle the party to recover the lots ? and,
whether the fhip fhnuld have been' defcribed the Pre-
fident of America, or the American Prefident.
After hearing the arguments on both fides. by
Mefrrs. GILES And WARREN, the Court determined
that as the policy contained the words it Prefiden, of
America, or any other name," the Plaintiff was en-
titled to judgment.
