LANCASHIRE. 
At Liverpool, on the 23d of April, a meet- 
ing of the principal inhabitants was convened 
at the Exchange, by public notice from 
the Mayor, to take into confideration a 
bill now pending in Parliament for the im- 
provement of the harbour of Porthdynlleyn, 
in Carnarvon Bay, which is fuppofed to be ini- 
mical to the mercantile interefts of this town. 
Mr. Cafe, in a very concife and perfpicuous 
manner, explained the principal ciaufes of 
the bill in quettion, and obferved, that it em- 
powered the undertakers of the intended im- 
provement to levy three different and dif- 
tiné&t fpecies of duties on every fhip which’ 
might be obliged to take fhelter in the port 
of Porthdynlleyn, from diftrefs of weather or 
other caufes, and that he conceived this would 
Operate as a very heavy impott on the fhip- 
ping in itsneighbourhood. After fome other 
obfervations from feveral gentlemen prefent, 
it was agreed to prepare a petition to the 
houfe, praying that the progrefs of the bill 
may be delayed, till the merchants have time 
to confider and prepare their objetions. 
& filver coin, of a very ancient date, was 
lately found in the neighbourhood of Ulver- 
fion, and is now in the pofleffion of Mr. John 
Willon, watch-maker, in that town.The

A numerous meeting of the Medical gentle- 
men of Liverpool was convened in the Board 
room of the Infirmary, on Tuefday, the 29th 
of April, 1806, for the purpofe of taking into 
confideration certain Refolutions on the fub- 
jet of Vaccine Inoculation, which had been 
previoufly drawn up by a Committee. After 
adopting various refolutions relative to 
the fafety and advantages of that prattice 
they came to the following ccnclufion ; 
‘¢ That, influenced by thefe powerful 
confiderations, we feel it to be our incum- 
bent duty to difcourage the practice of inecue 
lation for the Small-pox: being firmly con- 
vinced, that it does not prefent to us one fin- 
gle advantage which cannot be obtained with 
equal certainty, and without any danger, by 
Vaccine Inoculation; and that it prolongs the 
exiftence, and extends the ravages, of a moft 
deftructive difeafe, which Vaccine lnoculation 
promifes ultimately to exterminate. As an 
additional reafon for this refolution, we think 
it neceffary to ftate, that it appears from au- 
thentic documents, and from calculations 
founded upon them, which were produced im 
evidence by refpeétable profeffional gentie- 
men, when they were examined on this fube 
jet by a committee of the Houfe of Com- 
mons, in the year 1302, that the mortality of 
the Small pox has been increafed fince the 
introduétion of inoculation. And this mor- 
tality has prevailed to fuch an extent, that 
not lefs than 34,000 individuals have an- 
nually perifhed by that difeafe alone, in the 
United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ire- 
‘land. For thefe reafons we give a decided 
preference to Vaccine Inoculation; and we 
are determined to ufe all our influence to pro- 
mote the pra€tice of it inthis town and neigh- 
bourhood as extenfively as poffible, amongtt 
all ranks and claffes of fociety.” 
By the annual bill of mortality of the town 
of Liverpool, juft publifhed, it appears that 
the increafe in births during the laft year is 
134, in marriages 60, and in burials, the exe 
traordinary number of 463. This uncommon 
mortality has chiefly taken place in the clafs 
of infants, of whom nearly two-fifths of all that 
were born, have died under two years of age: 
whereas it appears from the general ftatiftical 
tables, that in the nation at large, the nume- 
ber of thofe who die under two years old, is 
not much more than a fourth of all that are 
bern. This great fatality in Liverpool is, no 
doubt, to be partly afcribed to the extreme 
- prevalence of the Small-pox during the laft 
year, and the obftinacy of the poorer clafies, 
in refitting the Vaccine Inoculation.
