CORO N E Hs' INQUESTS.

Yesterday, an Inquest was held at the sign of the Blue Anchor. is
Bermondsey, on the body of Mr. James Inwood, the landlord of that
house, who committed suicide. It appeared that on Tuesday List th.
inmates of the Blue Anchor were alarmed by hearing the report
pistol in the house. One of the servants proceeded up stairs, and e:
entering the deceased's bed-room, he was discovered lying dead acres»
the bed, with a pistol firmly clenched in his right hand. It appearel'
that the unfortunate man had placed the muzzle of the pistol to the
under-part of his right jaw, which was shattered to pieces, and on ex-
amination the ball was found to have lodged in the brain. The de.
ceased was in easy circumstances, and was very much respected by his
neighbours. Evidence was adduced of his having exhibited decided
symptoms of insanity some days previously to the fatal catastrophe.
and a verdict to that effect was recorded.
Another inquest was held at the same house, on the body of a tine
little girl named Price, who was suffocated in a privy. The deceased
and another little girl went into a public privy at Ber:noralsey, and began
to play together ; the former got upon the seat, and the hole being of
unusually large dimensions, the poor child fell backwards head foremost
into the soil, and before assistance arrived she wis suffocated. A ver-
dict of " Accidental Death" was returned.

THE Naw BEER BlLL.—Upwards of 3,000 applications
have been made to the excise-office fur licences under the new act, and
the number is daily increasing. It would appear, however, that public.
house property is not so much deteriorated as has been stated. The
lease for ten years and a half of the Crown and Cushion, 51arsh.
gate, Lambeth, subject to 501. rent per annum, has been sold at Ciarra-
way's for 1,1101. A great number of informations have recently been
laid against victuallers for adulterating their beer, and heavy penalties
have been paid into the Exdse department.
We have now got nearly to a close with the harvest; and
the statements from all parts of the country are most satisfactory, as to
oats being abundant, and tine. Barley will prove an average crop.
both as regards quantity and quality; It is to be feared, however, that the
wheat crop will be deficient in quantity; whilst from the samples fox ward.
no very favourable opinion can be formed of the quality. The potato
crop,l which is of considerable importance to us, will prove a fair aver.
age if we have favourable weather for housing it.—Belfast Paper.
Another of those disgraceful exhibitions, tending in an
especial manner to bring the ordinances of religion into disrepute, took
place on Sunday morning, in the Exe, near the lionhay---a river
baptism. A great concourse of people were assembled, not only to int-
ne.s, but many of them to add mirth to the occasion, by either baptising
themselves or their neighbours, and at one time a group of 30 boys were
seen, thus making converts and profiting by the pattern set them.
