about four years old, at Southampton, was also burnt to death by similar negligence. The clothes caught fire in the absence of its parents, and the suffering infant expired in great tortures. death before he could be got out. He has left a wife pregnant, and four small children. 25th. This day, the high wind blew off part of the roof of the Truchsessian gallery of pictures, op17th.

The same day a vessel was lost off Elmer, and all hands perished. The crew were seen in the shrowds, waving their hats as signals of distress; but the sea ran so high, and no life-boat to be obtained, that the anxious and commiserating spectators of the distressful scene could afford them no relief.— A vessel was also on the same day Jost off Rustington, but the crew were all saved, A short time since, the new steeple which was building for the Gaelic church at Campbeltown, gave way, drove in the roof, and materially injured the walls. Luckily, no person happened to be near at the time. 21st. This day, a fire broke out on the premises of Mark Dobito, at the Green Dragon inn, at Fordham, Cambridgeshire; which, in a short time, consumed the barn, stables, and out-houses belonging thereto, with a considerable quantity of wheat and other grain, and also a large quantity of hay. 24th. This morning, between three and four, a poor man employed at Mr. Elliot's brew-house, Pimlico, fell into the copper of boiling liquor, and was scalded to ing to Folkstone foundered at sea, and every person on board perished. The beach was covered, for some days, with timber of different sorts, barrels, staves, &c. As the congregation was assembling at Margate, for divine service, in the parish church, a large portion of the tiling came down on the sky-lights, and drove in upwards of fifty large squares of glass; and, though falling on the pews where several persons were seated, providentially none of them were injured thereby. But, from the tiles continuing to fall, it being dangerous to proceed with the service, the congregation was dismissed. His majesty's sloop of war, La Suffisante, of 16 guns, capt. Heathcote, was lost at the entrance of Cork harbour. Seven of the crew were unfortunately drowned, and three killed by the falling of a mast. La Suffisante sailed from Cove on the preceding day, with a number of volunteer seamen and soldiers on board for England; and, in attempting to return for shelter, she struck upon Spike island, and, in a very short time, went to pieces. No other material accident happened in that direction during the late tremendous gale, though the Hh 2 harbors harbour of Cork was crowded with West-Indiamen waiting for convoy. During the severe hurricane of this day, the tops of many chimneys in the metropolis were blown down, and some houses were nearly unroofed. There was no walking in the streets with safety. Many passengers were hurt by the falling of tiles. The casement of a windowlight blew down from the garret window of the Flying-horse, Lambeth-street, Whitechapel, on the head of a child, who was passing at the time, and fractured its skull. The infant was immediately taken to the hospital, but without hopes of recovery. A boy, about eight years old, crossing the upper end of Park-street, was forcibly carried, by a sudden gust, to some considerable distance, and, by its continued violence, rolled several times over along the ground before he could be taken up; in the fall his under lip was shockingly lacerated through to the chin, and the whole of his face very much bruised: he was carried to a surgeon in NorthAudley-street. A stack of chimneys, in St. James's-place was blown down; they fell over the parapet into the street, but happily no person was passing at the time. other stack in Norris-street, Haymarket, was blown down. About the same time, the parapet of the front of a public-house in Suttonstreet, Soho-square, had the same mischance, attended by similar circumstances. Much damage has been done upon the river. Between Blackfriars and London bridges, four wherries were overset and sunk. Two coal barges broke from their moorings, and drove upon the starlings of London bridge, where An they were dashed to pieces by the impetuosity of the waves; fortunately no persons were on board. The small vessels appointed for the conveyance of the volunteers and impressed seamen from the Tender, stationed off the Tower, to the Nore, were unable to proceed farther than Limehouse. The men were accordingly taken out at that place, and conveyed to their destination in vessels better calculated to combat the storm. A large tier of ships were driven from their moorings at Shadwell, and received much injury. Every other part of the river has suffered, more or less, from the same cause. In the wet docks, in the Isle of Dogs, though several prize ships broke from their moorings, by the badness of their own tackling, the mooring-stones remained perfectly steady, as did all the ships that were properly moored. Some trifling damage was done to the copper roofs lately fixed on one or two of the new warehouses, and to the shed upon the North Quay.— Almost every unfinished new building along the Sussex coast has been levelled with the ground; and chimneys, to the great annoyance and danger of the inhabitants, have been precipitated through the roofs, and many of them have made their way to the ground-floor. A considerable part of the ancient wall which surrounds the old Park at Canonbury, with the embankment thrown up for the ball-firing of the Londou volunteer corps, were levelled with the ground; and part of the royal standard was blown from Windsor castle. 27th. The light-house, on Walney island, was this night burnt down. 29th. At Horningtoft, in Norfolk, H folk, Mr. Brandford had employed a person from Ormsby, near Yarmouth, to sink a well, seventy feet deep, which he had nearly accomplished; when, unfortunately, being at the bottom thereof, the surface gave way, and buried him in its ruins. In this deplorable situation he remained some time, as he was heard to groan more than two hours. 31st. The following report has been made of the number of persons who have received vaccine inoculation, free of expence, at the stations of the Royal Jennerian Society, to the 20th of November : 2008 charges of vaccine virus have been supplied, free of expence, from the Central-house, to 1559 applications, many of them from remote parts of the British empire, and foreign places. The supply of vaccine matter from the other stations has also been very considerable. From the above statement, it must be evident, that the benefits of the society have been already ery important and extensive; but, when to these, are added, the prospect of its increasing utility, the means and stimulus it affords to the propagation of vaccine inoculation in all parts of the British empire, and throughout the world; it assumes a beneficial importance to mankind, which can hardly be estimated.
