SMALL Pox.-That species of this disease,
denominated varioloid, is rapidly spreading
in various parts Of the Union, and many have
already fallen victims to it. Those who have
had either the kline or small pox, though
less liable to an attack, are not entirely exc
empt from danger, although, in such ca ses.
the disease assumes a much mider form.
particularly after the kline pox, and is seldom
mortal.
The necessity ofimmediate vaccination. in
all cases, where it has not already been DER.
formed, cannot be too forcibly urged. We
should recollect, that the seeds of pestilence
and death are abroad amongst us, and we
know not how soon we may fall victims to
our own teuerity, if we neglect so great q
precaution. We are fully of the opinion, that
it ought to be made the duty of selectmen,
to make provision for vaccination in every
town, with penalty annexed for neglect Of
the same.

twill be seen, by our Legislative reports,
that the question of granting charter to
this Seminary, has been discussed for several
days past. We hope, and believe, that il
will be granted. That it ultimately will,
we have no doubt, and until it is, it will re-
main source Of uneasiness and contention,
and will be made to have an influence on our
political concerns, even where it has no i'm
mediate connection with them. We have,
thus far, abstaincd from publishing any
thing, on either side of the question, believ-
ing that it would only serve to disturb the
present calm, and produce an angry conten-
ton, without any good result to either par
ty. There is a; present but little feeling on
the subject, in the mass of the people of this
county, and, until there shall be some stron-
ger reason for it, than at present, we see no
cause for agitating the question, out of the
Legislative halls, where it ought to be decid-
ed on its own merits, without the aid of any
extrinsc influence whatever.

We have received the London pa
pers up 10 the 7th inst. inclusive. The
only foreign news deserving of notice,
which the late arrivals furnish, seems
to say that the King of Spain still cher
i>hes the hope of accompanying the
South American colonies, and yet ac-
counts of the same date, present such a
picture of the existing state of Spain as
leaves no. shadow of doubt, if any
doubt could have remained, that that
kingdom is in the most deplorable con-
ditIon TO which an afflicted country
could have been reduced. 1t is of course
from abroad that Ferdinand would ex-
poet the adequate aid for carrying his
designs into effect, but it has ere now
appeared tolerably evident that the re-
slstance likely to be encountered in
such case, from more quarters than
one, will be Of no very contemplate
character.

Late from Linld.-The Candace ar
rived here yesterday, has brought some
news, respecting the movements Of the
Royalists and patriots. The Royalists have
marched to recover their territories in
UpperP cru, which had been taken by the
Patriots Gen. st. Cruz. with 1000 Pc
ruvians, had an engagement with the
Spaniards, under Valdez, and was vic
torious.-The Royalists, accompanied
with the Vice-Roy La Serna, had re-
treated toward Por;ose. Gen. Suera,
with the Colombian Division, was at
AriguiPa, Cd mis- march to Join ST. Cruz.
There was a general cry of Liberty.
One victory for the Patriots, in gene
raj action, was thought, might establish
their liberties; but disunion existed
among them. Rlva Auguero, asserted
his pretensions to the Presidencv.--He
is at Truxillo, with 300 men--Bolivar,
will be forced to overcome him, before
he can march against the Spaniards."
The Charleston Courier, has receiv-
ed information from Havana, stating
that Gen. Apadoga, formerly Vice-Roy
of Mexico, was daily expected TO arrive
from Spain, with about 1000 troops
these were to be joined by such as could
bespared from Havana, and from thence
proceed to/Mexico, with the intention
OF recovering that country for the King
if practicable.

HoRa1D CRIME.

GENEVA, N. Y. Jan. 90.
Aman of the name of Josiah Winfield,
of the town of Reading, Steuben Coun-
ty, called on a physician for two doses
of arsenic to destroy rats. The doctor
suspecting him, gave him two emetics.
and followed him home and observed
him through the window, feeding one
part of it to his own infant child, ant
urging his wife to take the other. The
doctor then entered the house and charg
ed him with his murderous design
which he at length confessed. The
child died in consequence of the power
ful effect of the medicine. Both mother
and child were then on the bed of sick
ness. Winfield is safely secured in the
Jail at Bath.
