BABY•FARYING has not yet ceased to he One Of our
gout institutions, and a case which was investigated at
Charing-cross Hospital on Tuesday night throws some
light on the abominations of the 'Mem. A few week;
since, Mrs. Margaret Brown, residing in a yard in Soho,
Laden, advertised in the newspapers that she was
willing to Adopt a child. A young woman, unmarried.
soon called upon her with on infant, which she wished
to immanently rid herself of. There appears to have
been • little bugling about the mount. Mrs. Brows
requiring £lOO tam "keep the child•for ever," bat the
wom.n's circninstences not admitting of the payment of
thie secs it WWI subsequently reduced to err. A receipt
wee given in the following terms :—" Received of
Ca seine Williams Li, on consideration of my adopting
here •Jild. I hereby agree to adopt the sold child in a
respeetetie manner. I hereby agree that the said child
shad be no further Doable to her mother or friends; or.
in di fault of this agreement, I agree to forfeit the sum
of e 20." On Thursday night lo.t the child was taken
eu Manly fie and died in lee than an hour. The vet diet
j of the jury was to the effect that the chill died from
natural tenses, amongst which its desertion by Demoting.
' must not, of coarse, be insluded.
BRIMS AND FORIWN Bata —The British Medico
Jowled bas commenced a series of analyses and reports
In which the best known malt liquors are compared
with cash other, and with the Viennese beer now
enjoying' popularity here. It is stated that theme beers
are brewed in • manner different from that practised in
this country, and have generally less alcoholic strength
than British beer. They are, however, of excelleut
quality, and the great attention which has been paid to
the scientific principle; 'evolved in brewing by various
foreign cheadata, wild the assistance of tbo government,
has led to • very great improvement and development
of tie art. At rnacit, according to the report of the
British Iftdical Journal, the duty charged on imported
beer prevents auy great risk of serious competition; but
if this duty were taken off, it is possible that foreign
countries might successfully compete with us in the
erodec:ion of leer, as they do now in ninny maniac. j
tenet commodities. The beer sold u Dreher's and the
Lie-tnt 1s er, are reported as being brewed at the rate •
of 2 30 bushels of melt per barrel of 35) gallons.
SOOCKING 1101 MIR OF A CHILD —On Friday Mr. J.

Mr. Loot, surgeon, of Thornbury, deposed to having
made a post-mortem eureination of the body. The
child, he said, appeared to have been well nertared,
probably up to the time of its death. There was no
emaciation; indeed the body was rather fat. Upon
opening the bead, witness found that one of the vessels
of the basin had been ruptured by blows. The jury
returned • verdict of "Wilful murder against some
per-on or persons unknown."

remains found in Mil did noi go further than that the
