CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Yesterday evening an Inquisition was taken at the
Light Horseman, in Orange-court, near Lecester-
square, on the body of a male infant, found drowned in
the Basin in the Green Park.

It appeared from the evidence of a boy named Mat,
tingly, that on Sunday afternoon, about two o'clock,
he was walking by the side of the Basin, when he saw
something in the water resembling an image; he pulled
it out, when it proved to be a male child, and wrapped
in brown paper. The nose of the infant began to bleed,
and it seemed to have been recently thrown in. The
evidence of Mr. Gosnell, the surgeon, went to prove
that he had no doubt the infant was born alive; it had
a wound on the head and another over-the eye; in his
opinion he had every reason to believe that the child's
death was caused by the contusions on its head. •
The Jury, after some eoniultation, returned a verdict of " Wilful
Murder" against some person or persons unknown.
Another Inquest was held rester day evening, at half.
past seven o'clock, before T. Marla, Esq. Deputy
Coroner for Westminster, at the Ship public•house,
Essex-street, Strand, on the body of a young Gentle-
man, about 22 years of age, who was taken out of the
mud at the bottom of Essex Wharf by some watermen
on Sunday afternoon, with his head and face dreadfully
Hared. No evidence being adduced as to who the
deceased was, and Mr. Cosgrove, Surgeon, of Surrey-
street, Strand, stating as his opinion that the unfortu-
nate young Gentleman received the wounds on his bead
,and face previously to his coming into the water, the
Inquest was consequently adjourned till to-morrow
evening, and the beadle ordered to make every inquiry
to ascertain who the friends of the deceased are.

The letters from St. Petersburgh of the 15th Oeto.
sr, mention that the new Finance Minister, General
CaQcrin, was dangetously ill.

The Ladies of Buenos Aires have presented Admiral
Brown with a flag, on account of his good conduct in
the engagement of the 11th June. The Admiral, in re-

vessel sunk. A subscription was also raised in the city,
to reward the crews of the national ships. It amounted
to 2,400 dollars. The merchanti have offered a loan of
two millions to the Government.

SPLENDID HOSPITALITY.

A LETTER FROM PRINCR TO M. DR
(Vide our Guildhall Report last Saturday.)
I went (more fool I, you will presently say.)
To dine at Guildhall, on the last Lord Mayor's-day;
I thonOt to see plenty of all that was good,
But found greater plenty of eaters than food.
The wines, though the best which were (there) to be had,
The newapapers, truly, have hinted were bad ;
But I, as I would not cause anger or pain,
Said nothing of gooseb'rry, while drinking Champagne!
Whatever in England Is heard of, or seen,
Has something or other, to do with marine;
My Lord's knives and forks, it was told me, in scores
Were bought from a dealer in old marine stores.
A mighty expense such a dinner must cause,
The giver, of course, looks for fame and applause ;
But your bosom, like mine, will with anguish be throbbing,
To learn that the cost was made greater by robbing!
The miscreants bad surely ceased wholly to feel,
Who spoons, of wrought-iron, attempted to steal;
But things in this country have come to that pass,
That varlets purloin my Lord's Mansion-house glass ;
And one rogue secured by the City police,
Had two splendid castors, worth/out-pence a piece;
Being just as they came from the second-band shops,
With spick and span new plated Brummagem tops !
I never beheld, since the day I was born,
Such a fork as I had, for it's handle was horn ;
So dirty, you scarcely would touch it with tongs,
And three iron pegs fastened in it for prongs ;
Such a thing had not often been seen even there,
I saw one or two of the Aldermen stare,
And heard say, " the dinner, the Lord Mayor's Day to keep,
In the West will be nick-named the feast of East agape
I could not get on, I must frankly declare,
With such ale-house, or shabby restaurateur's fate ;
Again and again, did I wish dinner o'er,
For beggarly splendour's a horrible bore;
And so, when my Lord, with intent to speak fine,
Bawled—" Prince, you do nothing—here's goose, will you dine r.
" No, thank ye," said I, with a dignified frown,
" do nothing more—l'm already dew—Brom I"
London, Nov. 11.
