plating a fatal termination to her illness.aad knowing
her Lord's attachment to retired and domestic habits,

event of a second union, was most capable of afford-

CURIOUS CIIAIIOI.—”RETEAC I' OP ♦ LETTER FROM
Roxe, DATED ISt AOOOST.*It seems that the
Ambassador here, has had 'an intrigue with a Roman
Priacess, a young, handsome widow, and who became
pregnant. Her lover, however, would not take charge
of the child : the Princess, to be revenged, sent it in
open day to his house, with a message that the child
was his, and that he must take charge of it. All
Rome speaks of this strange story. Sa Saintete is
quite enraged at the Ambassador's conduct.

BERR.—We regret to hear that complaints continue to
be made of the bad quality of the beer which is sold in
tsblic-bosses in most Counties. Sorely the subject is
deserving the attention of the Magistrates at the next
Michaelmas Quarter Sessions, or at the Petty Session.
which are held in September for granting licences to
Victuallers; and great care should be taken to avoid in
future the interference of the great Brewers. and their
Attorneys, on these occasions, some of whom, in many
districts, act likewise as Clerks to the Justices.
CONSUMPTION OF BARI•115.1d the business of the
late sessions we omitted to notice that Marshal% El.
win, Esq. who took the chair in consequence of the
indispoeition of Lord SAfield, at the instance, w'
believe, of that Noble recommended that the gees•
tiemen of the county should Fe/abase malt on a Imre
scale, at the then existing low price, anti tw,ail it ont
at a trifling loss to themselves, to their labourers--
the same proposition had been made by Mr. Crisp
Brown to the farmers. Should this benevolent sug-
gestion be adopted, it would first considerably tend to
rid our farmers of a portion of their old stock, and
secondly to encourage among the poor a habit of brew-
ing for themselves, and providing, what they were for-
meetly accustomed to enjoy, a wholesome and nutritious
►everage, which might preclude, in a good degree,
the temptation of resorting to the public) house. Wo
are given to understand by persons in Lord Suffiehri
Immediate neighbourhood that his recommendation
was not confined to precept alone, but that his Lord•
ship has been trying the experiment with sums;
amongst his labourers, whose numbers have fluctuated
according to circumstances from 80 to 140.—(Nor-
mieh Mereary)
SUDDEN Da4TN.—yesterday, Lombard•etreet, it
the Mist, and its neighbourhood, were thrown into
rsoneiderable alarm in consequence of the sudden death
Ile a woman of the name of Haywood, who had re-
sided at No. 14, in Lombard-street. As this woman
and her husband, who is a shoemaker, had been much
Intoxicated and q Bing late on Saturday niTSt,
- been given, and th.,
woman very ill yester-
' about ten o'clock
irder was raised,

About two hours af-
ter the death of the woman. a medical gentle-
man called and viewed the body, and gave it as his
opinion, that the deceased had died in consequence of
natural deny. After this opinion of the doctor was
pronounced, the husband was set at liberty. We bare
enquired in the neighbourhood anJ found that th:s
man and woman were in a continual state of beastly
drunkenness, and frequently fi.:htiog, and therefore
with all due deference to the opinion of the medical
gentleman, we think a Coroner's Jury should invrs+i•
gate the cause of the woman's death. As there are
some reports of mysterious circumstances connected
with it, such an Inquest would be more satisfactory to
the public

On Monday last new oats were sold is Cockermantit
market at 7s. 6d. a bushel, They grew in a field be•
longing to Captain Wilkinson, of Parsonby, and wert:
cut on the 26th of last month. What is remarkable,
the land on which they grew was neither plorglied
nor sown, but laid down for hay grass. Last year
the same field was sown with oats, and produced an
excellent crop; and though it sastaieed a great loss by
the shake, before it was cut, leasing a considerabla
quantity on the ground that was shaken out, yet it
yielded at the rate of one Carlisle bushel to three
shocks. This accidental crop was not sa good a. th it
of the year preceding, but It accounted a fair average
produce.
