Saturday afternoon an inquisition was taken at the Royal Tent public.
house, in Silver street, GioWm-square, before Mr. }hoes, on the body
of a new-born female child.

Jane Rudman stated, that she resided at No. lb, Silver.street, and
had known the mother of the child for some time ; she had been about
three months in Loudon. She was a young woman, of the name of Mary
Sainsbury, and lived as servant with Mr. Minton, grocer, of Beak.etreet,
Golden-square, which situation she left on Tuesday, and aim to reside
with witness, who positively stated that she did not observe that
she was in the family way. On Thursday morning wituea4
went out to work, and the girl said she was very well. On her return,
she found her with her clothes on in bed, and on asking her what w.a
the matter, she replied, " I think I have had a child." Witntse
searched and found a child in the bed, when a surgeon was alit for.
Witness believed that the mother had some clothes for the child. lieorge
Laugdon, auistant to Mr. Russell, surgeon, of Broad-street, deposed
that about twelve o'clock on Thursday night, he was called in to attend
the mother of the child. The child appeared when be drat saw it to
have died from a fall on its head ; but on examining it closely. he fou
that it had been dead several days before it was delivered. He could
not account for the death: it might have died from fright. It was
full-grown child. The Coroner told the jury that the mother was not
in a tit state to be examined, and that they had nothing to do with the
concealment. Verdict..." Still born."

Rum RITTORD, SETT. 2.—The accounts from the plantations
in the North Clay district, are of a variable and somewhat donna-
dictory nature; yet, upon the whole, it may safely be asserted that
there will be a great deficiency in half a crop. Until within the last
few days the Lines and be. bass escaped the mould, which has barn
making such ravages the hops in the south ; but ft is MP/
discovered the several peaeiing plantations are deeply infected, anti
where ten cwt. was conlihntly anticipated, not one cwt. will be ga-
thered. Some plantation, however, present a different appearance,
and look as proca'
t'ng as theiroproeleton tan desires The plants.
Lions about &afford, I, Re. are, is a general way, of this
description; but Elkesky, Upton, Drayton, ht. are as bad almost
as can be seen. The plantations nearer Retford are nearly equi-dis-
tam from these two extremes, and some bunches have been sent so
us for inspection, which may be pronounced to be as healthful anti
luxuriant as can be produced- in the best of seasons.
In the southern districts of Devonshire, the crops of wheat
modoce from 28 to 30 bushels per acre, and in the northern gene.
rally 40 bushels, especially in the vicinity of Crediton. The barley
and oars are equally abundant. Potatoes are beyond calculation.
' The following conversation took place on the Circuit be-
tween Mr.Brougharn ands witness:—Cross-examined by Mr. Brougham
—What was the sign of the public-house where you first heard these
words P—The Parliament House. Mr. Brougham—Oh, that is an
excellent sign for a public-house; there is no place where beer is more
talked of. We did nothing last session but talk about it Ja laugh.)
They keep a good glue of beer at that house, I suppose ? Witness...-
Yes, very good. Mr. Broughem--Excelleat, is it Dot ? Witness
(with conskierable empharts)—lt is a very good glass, Indeed, I as.
sure you. Mr. Brougham—Ah, that's more than I can say of the
other Parliament House. Instead of good beer we get bad speeches.
Now as you frequent one Parliament House, and I the other, let us as if
they keep tee same hours. Pray, how long were you altogether at that
house? 1V itness.—About half an hour. Mr. Brougham..--I wish
that were all at our house ; with us it is more frequently half a day.—
The witness was then cross.examined at considerable length, and in tl e
course of his cross-examination he said, "Allow me to explain." Mr.
Brougham.--Ay, that is what we do at our Parliament House, MO I'll
allow you certainly. The witness commenced a very tedious explana-
tion of his evidence, which was cut short by Mr. Brougham's sitting
down, and exclaiming, " You are very long-winded t we abotikl cry,
