'ionculatea v.4th genuine Cow Por matter or not I will
not &minim ; I will admit their weakening our con&
deuce in vaccination to a cet tain degree. But there
three failures, amid the colleaed experience of the
Profe.Tion in general, are here met by the experience
of a tingle individual in a provincial town, wit► an
equal number of cafes, equally weakening our confi-
dence in Small Pox Inoculation. In this rcfpea, thee,
let the two Inoculations be fuppofed to fiend upon
equal grounds. But let the eoefiquatet: of the one be
weighed againil thole of the other, and the Peale of
vacciration mull incalculably preponderate. In im.
mediate dancer to the irdiridual, in remote mifchief
to his contlitution, the Cow Pox has infinitely the ad-
vantage. To this let us add, that while with the Cow
Pox the praai•ioner, at the woof, injures no one ex.
cope his patient, with the Small Pow he may deal mi
fery and dettration amonet his neighbours, far be-
yond the limits of his operating ; that in the one he
is continually tithing OE ditieminstion of a loathforne
and mortal difeafe, while in the other he is conducing
to the extermination of that pellilence from among
*mankind. Let us then turn to common anti, and
• alk her which the would prefer.

MIDDLASEX SESSIONS.

GUILDHALL, WESTMINSTER, OCTO.BER
This dsy the Seffions for the County eommenceds
before Mr. MAINWARING, fen. (the Cheirtnan),_and

a Bench of
_lattices.
St:veral Jurymen were (worn in, and a number of
Gentlemen made excufes for various catifes. Among
the retl, one endeavoured to get hinifelt exctifed on
account of the neceffity of his attendance to his duty
in a Volunteer Corps. He had been eicufed four
years fence for the fame reafon.
The CHAIRMAN obferved, that four yeais Gnce we
were in a nate of perfeel fecurity in comparifon to
our prefcnt filtration. He hoped that there was not
a man theft in Court, capable of hearing arms, who
was not then engaged in a fimilar pattiotic duty.
That Gentleman and feeeral others were then
fworn. When the lift of thofe fummoned Will entire-
ly gone through, it was found that t 9 were fworn in
for the Grand Jury of the County.
The CHAIRMAN then addrelTed the Gentlemen pre-
fent, in a fpeech of confides able length, in the courfe
of which he obferved, that it was with great regret
he felt himfelf under the neectity of thus publicly net-
tieing the nnwillingnefs of the Gentlemen of the
County of Middlefex to fiep forward to perform an
indifpenfable duty. It was well known, that no man,
however flagitious hie crime, coold be brought over
the threfhold of a Criminal Court, orders there was a
Grand Jury full to examine whneffes, and find out,
as far as poffiWc, the ground upon whit!. the charge
was brought againit him. Gentlemen well knew,
that in other Counties perfons of property and men
of fenfe, who were bell fitted for this important troll,
ftepped forward with eheerfulnefs to difcharge that,
arduous though irkfome duty. In the County of
Middlefex, however, he had tolament, that there was
fomi.thing of reluBance in the Gentlemen who were
called upon to pet form that duty to the public. Out
of 48 pet tens who werefummoned laft Seflinn to confti-
t um the Grand jury for the county,only t t attended in
the first inthince, and it was with difficulty that a Ju-
ry could be formed. A Criminal Court would not
have power to go on with its proceedings, if a fuifi-
tient number of Jurymen did not attend, to find or
rcjef the bills ; all manner of crimes might go on
with impunity, if there was not a Tribunal formed,
by which the perfoos guilty of thofe crimes could be
.brought to juftice. For his part, he wifhedalwap to
fee full Juries, that they might be able to relieve one
another, and do junice to the public. This relatatice
on the part of the Gentlemen of the County to perform
a public duty, had induced the Magittrates to give
inttruelinas to the Sheriffs to provide againft the ve•
ciirrence of fuch a cafe as that of last Seftion in ft•
tore. The late Sheriffs had formed a plan for the im-
prove-meta of the fyftem of procuring Juries, which had
met the entire approbation of the fsiegiftrates. This
was no capricioufnefs of the Court ; no °Schwind's
of the Sheriffs : it was their imperious duty fo to do.
1.1,c Government of the Country bad alfo promifed
to give their aid and •ffill•nce to fuppoit the plan.—
It would be extremely unpleasant to the lolagitlrates
of the County to find thetnfelves under the needfity
of enforcing penalties to the extent which Was in
tl:eir power. But if a more refpeciable attendance,
it. point of number, could not be otherwife obtained,
the tines make be enforced to an extent that would be
extremely difigreeAle. He had now to thank thole
Gentlemen who had been punaual in their obedience
to the orders of the Ci.urt, and to exprefs his fincere
hope, that there Mould not be a seceffity for fuch
animadvcrfo,ns in future.
The Grand Jury are to meet neat Monday at
Hicks', Hall, for the County at large.
After the hulinefs of the Court was finillted
yefler-
day, at Guildhall, Weltroialler, a Gentleman ad-
dresfed the Chairman on behalf of a number of Con-
fables who were not paid for their attendance at the
late Middlefex Eleaion. He did not feel himfelf in
that ncceffity to make an application to the Court,
but he knra that there were many others who could
not Lear the lots of time and espence which that duty
put them to, and inquired when, or by whom, they
1. ere to be paid
The Chairman Paid that it was net his doty to fee
them paid, our to direa their application. They were
thin Iv ring the public. He could nut fay to whom
they were to apply, or whether they Lad nay right at
all.

Thus the bufinefs remains unfettled.

This day the Prifoners who Rand committed en
vanous charges of felonies, were removed from
the feteral prifons in the, city of London and county
of Middlefex, to Newgate, in order to take their
trials, at the enfuing Setlions, at Jul H+II, in the
Old Bailey,_ which commence on Wednefday next,

the 24th intlant.
Friday a foreigner_ loft his pocket-book in Co-
ventry.firect, containing. all he was worth, and the
hard earnings of a labeitous life. The poor fellow
cried bitterly, and was accompanied by two others,
who feemed Portuguefe and feafaring people.
On Saturday evening; a young woman, decently
decried, got a watchman in the City road to ercort her
up the road towardsillingtonsas it was then dark. She
took him to the fign e(the Blue Coat-Boy, where the
gave him a dram tor his trouble, and bad a glafs her-
fell She did not pay for the liquor,but left her pattens
in the bar. She laid that the bad to call fume where
elle, but loitered about the houfe for upwards of two
hours afterwards. At fall the was afked if the did dot
think that the was flaying too late (it.was then near to
o'clock); ece anfweicd,u No; I base not far to go
to;" and foon after that left the houfc. Her condo'
was thought to be very grange ; but the people of the
houfe fuppored that flee might be in trouble, and that
the was waiting for fomebody. However, no more
was known about her till between five. and fir on Sum
day morning, when Mr. Smith, a brokleiler, of Clare-
court, Drury.lanc, was going towards Lea Bridge to
fills, in Company v ith his-fon and another young man.
They law the body of a woman floating in the middle
of the New River, oppofite Duncan Terrace, City-
road. It was prevented her puffing under the bridge
where the water croaks the road, by a fort of grating
which finks below the arch into the water.
Monday a Courtier's Inquelt was held upon the
body,, at J. Berkeley's, the Qi!een's Head, Lower-.
fireer, Iflington, before G. Honn sue, Efq. one of the
Coroners for the county.
The body having been viewed by all the Jury,
Win. B;ogley, a watchman, depofed, that he raw
the deceafed walking along the road, at is o'clock
on Saturday night, es he was going his rounds. He
law nothing particular in her condo t, and therefore
did not fay any thing to her: At half after five on
Sunday morning, fome Gentlemen who were going
Gibing gave the alarm of a woman baying been
drowned in the New River. He went, and law the
fame woman pulled out by means of the Gibing-rods.
She was then apparently lifelefs. However, (he was
taken to the watch houfe in iflington. and Mr. Ma-1
thews, the Surgeon, fent for, who examined the body,
and.declared that the was pall all recovery. Seven
pawnbroker's duplicates and fotne other trifling arti•
cles were found in her pocket; fume of the things it I
appeared had been pawned on Saturday tall, If le had
gone on the fide of the river where the regular path-
way leads up to Colebrook.Row, it was hardly pof-
fible that the could have fallen in by accident; but if
the had chanced to walk upon the oppefite fide, which
is not fn generally tiled as a foot path, it was very
probable that the might have flipped in as theie was
no fence on that fide. She had all her clothes on
complete the fame as he law her with at night.
Robert Barker, Cooper, of No. 9, Compton-greet,
Clerkenwell, fwore that the name of the deceafed was
Ann Barker. She was to the heti of his belief about
33 years of age, had been married to him about
years, and they had three children now living. the
eldeft about ten years of age. She had leparated from
him about 18 or so months, and he had not teen her
for the left i z months. He, however, could declare
that the was very much addieleirto drinking. ;middle
the was apt to be ti.anething flighty when the drank
any thing to figuily.
The Coroner claimed to the Jury that, as there
was not any evidence before them to prove that the
deceafed had thrown.herfelf into the water, and as
the watchman had (worn that there was a probability
of a per fon who was a !hanger to the place going the
wrong way, and flipping in by accident, he thould,
for his own part, be induced to lean on the fide of
mercy, and find a verdia accordingly. He left to the
jury however, to decide whatever way appeared to
them to be the mall probable that the had come to
that premature death. From the evidence of the
hufband, and from the duplicates that were found
upon her, it was plain that the had not led a good
and mold life. But in cafes of felt-deflruCtion there
were in general a bonnet, a hat. a pair of thoce, a
cloak, or Intim other article, left upon the (bore, by
which it was known that the perfon had had a pre-
meditated dcfiga upon his or her own life. In the
prefent cafe there was nothing mentioned in evidence,
land he left the Jury to form their opinion upon what
they had heard (worn before them.—VerdiSr—That
the deceafed, Ann Barker, had calamity, accidentally,
and by misfortune, come by her death.
