The Places of Divine Word(bip to-day have been
very fully attended ; the (hops of all defcriptions are
lhut ; and thus far the folemnity which &odd dif-
tinguilb a Sunday, hat in all quarters predominated.
If we may judge. ftom the rapid difappearance of
the delicacies of the market on Saturday and yefter-
day, the tables throughout Bath to-day have exhibit-
ed a fmilins piaure of plenty : and good old FAO&
hofpitality in the city and adjuncts prevailed.
Convivial Chrillmas Parties hal ni?,ht were to be
heard in all parts of the town; but lab/lett and de-
corum generally prevailed.
A very numerous congregation this morning at-
tended Divine Service at the Abbey Chinch, where a
very impreffive difcourfe was delivered by Mato
PH I LOT, from the following words of the fist and
fecond verfes of the firlk chapter of St. Paul's Epißle
to the Hebrews :
" Goo, who at rosary times, sad is divas moo" (puke In
times part unto the Fathers by the Prophets.
" Hath In theft laft days (pokes unto us by his Sots, whom be
bath appointed heir of an things.hy whin he mode the world."
In the courfe of the fervice, the Anthem front the
Ilfrish,Thru faith ripe Lewd of Heir, was very finely
fung by Mr. Doris. The Hallelujah Choral, from
the Mthcall,_was alfo given with due folemnity, and
excellent drat.

Saturday night the houfe of J. Bauer, Efq. at
Gold's-hill, Loughtoo, Mx, was broke open, and
property to a great amount Rolm.
A few days fine a man was committed from the
Polio Office, Slsadwell, for dealing a large quantity
of fowls, the property of a man in Old Gravel-lane.
He was dented by Leaving his pocket-book in the

to be attached to the scl battalion of the 7 it.
Yellarday a harmers of a curious nature occupied the
alasodea of the Sitting hiagiSrates at Marlborough-
ken Office a confiderable time. Coati' nd Spen-

IsEanking and beating an anknovrn puffin. is Comp-
lowliest. It war Sated by the otScers, that they
took the prifosier into cofiody in confcquence of his
having beaten a rrfon in the fleet% afGfted by others,
and creation on rotasenfe oh. Oa the Serjeant be-
lag put ow his defence, the charge took a very diffite.
lem tern ; the faits being as follows : The I
was fent with difpatches to Lieutenant Cali= 1
the effacer commanding the regiment, and on his way 1
to the Colonel's lodgings, he yaw a peefon whom be
knew to be a defence from the Bth regiment of foot.
The fellow took to his heels, and the prlfoner,who was I
unable to head him, kept driking him with a dick, 1
and as he run, cried " hop thief. a defence." A con-
fiderable mob was affembled, and the beadles inter-
fered, and inilded on taking the prifoner to the
watch honk, for affaulting the defence. The Sajeant
informed them that he was fecnring a deferrer. The
officers, however, inflated that the prifoner had com-
mitted a breach of the peace, and took him to Bt.
Anne's watch houfe, without paying any relpea to
his protedations, or the deferrer, who dfeited his ef-

cape.
Lieutenant Colonel Hawker. and Cornet Knight.
of the:fame regiment, accidentally were paring near,
and witneffed the tranfailion. While the beadles
had the partner in cullody, who at the Orme me,.
meat had hold of the deferter, Cornet K. without
making himfelf known to them, requelted of the
beadles that they would fire kcure the defence, and
in that cafe the prifonet's conduit could have a legal
invelligation. They, however, took no notice of this
remonarance, but conveyed away the Serjeant from
his prifoner.
The Magiftrate remarked, that it was the duty of
officers to fupprefs, as much as poffible. any kind of
difotder and riot in the thee': and it was alto their
duty to fecare the perfoa or perfons who appeared
to them the aggreffors, and bring them before a
Magiftrate, as it was not for them to decide. It was
alfo every man's duty to recur e a deferrer, and they
had seed wrong if it was within their knowledge that
fuels was the cafe when the prifoner had the man in
cuftody. He gave Colonel Hawker the rimes of
the beadles, and Rated that a bill might be preferred
spina them at the Sellinm. The Colonel expreffed
his determination to that effea, and the bufinefs will,
of conrfe, be heard again.
A great number of tranfports went down the river
on Wednefday. So fudden and tine:peeled were the

The men thus lett behind followed yelterday. South-

On Saturday the Bth itaint, shoot nine o'clock
in the evening, as Mr. Anthony Watfon, of Segloll,
in Northumbtrlanel. farmer, was returning home
lions Neweaale, in the lane which leads from the
north polt toad to Haddick's mill, he was attacked
by two men, who pulled him off bis horfe, and, af-
ter beating him moll feverely with bludgeons, robbed
him of his money ; they then dragged him into the
ditch, where he continued in a Rate of infenfibility all
that night ; he was difeovered neat morning by tome
country people. There were feveral wounds in his
head, and his face and clothes beffheared with blond.
He was taken to a neighbouring bottle and placed
by the fire, where in a little time he fo far recovered
as to be enabled to inform them of his name and
place of abode, and to relate the eircomaance of the
two men attacking bins, whole perfons he could not
recognise. He was afterwards conveyed to his fa-
ther's Waite without the Weagate, where he yet re.
mains,but hopes are now entertained of his recovery.
Mr. Watfon s bode attired at Seghill the fame sight
big was robbed.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE scut. Y.
sit—A. I have lately obfervedM your iliaffrbrae
paragraphs on the Vaccine Inoculation,_thica ap-
pear to me to be hoftile both to the dikovery and the
difcovererr, I will beg the favour of you to teat the
following remarks :
There are five clan of people who oppolk the
Vaccine : The firft are thofe who know nodigg at
all of the Coble& The fixond are thole who lam
heard fomething of it from perfons not quallidi to
inftruft them, and who have therefore reseired
wrong infornsatiun. The. third are theft who are
ftrongly influenced with the unhappy dilleolekto to
form a hefty lodgment before evidence has been laid
before them, and properly examined t who are apt
violently to condemn, or earodly to reeMentend
purfuit, without any reafon at all but the fprimesse-
ous, unaccountable deflates of their own minds. The
fourth are that who derived Walk froth the MVO
of the (mall pox, and now pve that • thefonrce
of their gains will be gone," Naiongb the benign in-
fluence of vaccine inoculation. The fifth, end laft,
are thofe who look upon the molt ufeful difcomeice
in their own profeffion with foriow, Wank they
were not the authors of them, and regard the pee-
font who made them with envy, becaufe they fear
the celebrity of rub eharafters will eclipfe their own
name. They therefore take every opportunity of
throwing an isfinuations in fame Dope or ether,
with 'croak to the infnfliciency of the die-artery. or
the weaknefs of the difcoverer s clans. In Sort, all
the opponents of the vaccine are either twat*, .0
info, ..14 pyjama!, iwereled, or osolivolent I molt fo-
leninly believe there can be no man moon them who
poffeffes tittle three qualities. hooray, iitpartiefety,
and a knowledge of the fable& With fo homes&
a weight of evidence of the mildnefs oldie cow pm,
the certainty of its preventing the (mall pox. the is•
numerable tells to which it 'submit pat. with Am-
cat, not only in this country, but more efpeekft,
abroad, is it 'sable that any bout and candid spa
can doubt whether be will oppofe or encourage it
The few recent circumftances which hart• been fup-
paced by loose to invalidate the evidence in favour of
the cow pox. are eaftly underlined and explakced by
theft who are well acquainted with the fobjeft. They
may be resolved into defeftive inoculation or ponds-
nines of conlitation t and by theft who lay the
greateft treys upon them, they can only be entifider•
ed as (pecks is the yes, and cannot be deemed an ult.
flack to the adoption of the preftice.
To the three kit elates, the prejudiced. the ems-
relied, and the malevolent, I have nothing to fey t.
for they do not Nand in need of moment, bet of
new difpofition of mind, which is out tiler ra'
to give. The ignorant and mifinfornied, I yodel
recommend to examine, befides other evidence of this
value of vaccine inoculation. a part of the let re-
port of the Royal Jennerian Society, which. to pri-
vent the trouble of referring to, I well quote here s
is The number inoculated at the fund WOO
