Esq. the Coroner for Westminster Ihe mother of the infant was cook
in a gentleman's family, in Pall-mail, and her pregnancy was a secret
to all but another maid servant. The mother delivered herself secretly
in the privy, on Monday ; and, on the other servant hearing an in-
fant cry, she ran into the yard, and inquired what was the matter. The
unnatural mother had put the infant down the privy, but it did not ad.
mit of secreting it; and ti,-o next deposited it in the dust-hole. The
other servant followed thither, with a candle, which the mother put
out; and whilst the tortner ran up stairs to give an alarm, she lastly
concealed the inf. r.-. in a coal-hole, where it was found touch bruised,
and it survived only a few hours. The Jury adjourned to get further
professional evidence as to Cie cause of death ; and after Surgeon MGR*

THGC BARCL AY MATCIL—The Some! setshire pedestrian,
who undertook for a stake of Five Hundred Guineas,
to perform the thousand miles, at a mile every hour,
failed on Wednesday, after having proceeded at his Her-
culean labour thirty Jays, and brought betting in his fa-
vour. He is said to have wasted twenty pounds, and he
is much injured in his feet and hams. This is the fourth
faihre. but -no one has gone so near it as the present
destrian before or since Captain BARG L AY.
The Author of the threatening letter, for whose disco-
, very a thousand pouns was offered in the Gette, is
said to have been discovdered. He turns out to be the in-
sane person who hits so long persecuted the Duke of Noa-
FOLK by claims on the title. A few days since, the day
before the threatening letter was received at Carlt-,a
House, this Mr. H. called at JEFtelittY's, the bookseller,
I in Pall-mall, and begged of him to stop a letter, addressed
to the PF,INCE R I.:GF.NT, and which was in the General
Post Office-box, in the window. He was of course told,
that his request could not be complied with. Monday it
occurred to Mi. JEFFERY to :communicate this circurn-
staii:e to Colonel BLOOMFIELD, when the discovery fol-
lowed.
