MR. BARON TIULLOCK.

This very Learned Judge was descended from an
ancient family in the North, from whom he derived
v,ry considerable estates, situate near Barnard
Castle, in the cout.ty of Durham. He was in early
life entered as a member of (fray's-Lin, by which
Society he was in due course tailed to the Bar. He
practised at the Bar, with the reputation of being
one of the soundest lawyers in Westminster-hall,
for upwards of 20 years, and was then promoted to
the rank of a Sergeant at Law. He remained Ser-
geant but a few years; however, during that time
he was engaged in several matters of very great
moment. He was retained by the Government to
conduct some very important prosecutions, arising
out of the disturbed state of the North, and he also
presided with great ability on the Commission of
Lunacy respecting the Earl of Portsmouth, the in-
vestigation of which, it may be remembered, took
place at the Freemasons' Hall some few years ago.
Shortly after this period his Lordship was promoted
to the office of one of the Barons of the Exchequer,
on the resignation of Mr. Baron Wood. This dis-
tinguished situation he held till the time of his de-
cease, which was on Friday last. His Lordship had
arrived in Abingdon, as one of the Judges of Assize
of the Oxford Circuit, on Saturday, the 25th of
July; and on the Sunday following he attended Di-
vine Service at St. Helen's Church, Abingdon, in
apparently good health; however, in the course of
that night, he had a most violent attack of cholera
morbus, and after remaining extremely ill for five
days, expired in the evening of Friday, the 31st of
July, in the 66th year of his age. His Lordship's
death is much lamented by the profession, by whom
he was universally beloved. A more kind-hearted
man never adorned the Bench of Justice, and his
great strength of mind, and his accurate knowledge
of the law, was acknowledged by every one to whom
he was known. He was not a brilliant man as an
orator at the Bar ; but all his decisions gave the
greatest satisfaction—indeed, he was always con-
sidered to be one of the ablest Judges in modern
times. His Lordship had been many years married,
and his lady survives him.

I had, on Friday last, prepared a long and very
flattering account of the crops in this part of the
country, when my senses were literally overwhelmed
with the perusal of a letter in the 1-Warning Herald'
of Wednesday, signed " Henry Hunt." That letter
of such lamentable tidings not only astonished me,
but numbers to whom it was shown in these quar-
ters; for its contents were diametrically opposite to
all my experience here, as also to the information
afforded me by every practical person whom I met.
However strongly fortified as I was in my conclu-
sions respecting the favourable aspect of the harvest,
the aiverse statement of such a man as Mr. Hunt,
inquisitive and active as he is, induced me to pause
before I finally committed myself. At last I re-
solved to leave no means untried of discovering the
truth, and, having no human motive for distorting
it, fairly to state the result. I devoted, therefore,
the whole of Saturday, the greater part of Sunday,
and a couple of hours after sunrise on Monday, to
a personal investigation. I went into the fields
myself; I inspected with my own eyes; saw, heard,
examined, cross-examined, and compared, and the
following is the sum of my little journal
HURSLEY.--A sweet tract—in the possession of
Sir William Heathcote—four or five miles from
Winchester, in the Salisbury direction. " And Mr.
Hunt's letter," said I, as I surveyed the admirably-
managed lands of Hursley, and contemplated the
heavy ears of wheat sustained by their substantial
stems—" and Mr. Hunt's agricultural lamentation
has even frightened the experienced sages of the
Corn-Exchange I" Nothing was ever less justi-
fiable. The crops—l speak of the wheat crops—
not only equal, but far surpass the average of several
years, as to quality ; in the quantity, generally, there
is nothing to complain of, 30 far as Hursley, an ex-
tensive district, is concerned.

RumsEv.—Went on to Rumsey. The crops all
very fine looking—a considerable quantity of wheat
cut—all good—the capsulas full—a few black ears—
and patches layed with the rains—the farmers not
disposed to complain, which is a most decisive
symptom that there is really nothing to complain of.
WHITE PARISIL—The crop most excellent—the
grain (wheat) full, substantial, and polished—little
layed with the wet. Here and elsewhere the turnip
crop is unequalled. The fly is now a total stranger
here, but nobody knows why. Oats promise to be
a very unusual crop ; the wet has accomplished this.
Barley will prove also abundant and good.
SALISBURY, MONDAY.—Whatever tillage is vi-
sible from White Parish to this city (and here we
approach the Earl of Radnor's estates), appears in
excellent condition, and, upon the whole, I must
declare, with the greatest respect for those who
have frightened the world with sinister prognosti-
cations, that there is not the slightest foundation for
alarm.
