EXTRAORDINARY 'DISCOVERY OF A DEAD BODY.-- Con-
siderable excitement prevailed during yesterday and the
preceding day in consequence of the following extraor-
dinary discovery' of the body of a dead man, which has
given rise to various rumours in the neighbourhood of
Bethnal-green as to the cause of death, and how the
body became deposited in the place where found.. From
inquiries made it appears that, on Wednesday last,
whilst some men were employed by the East London
Waterworks Company laying down some pipes *mite
the Bethnal-green-road East, one of the men, in remov-
ing some earth, laid hold of what, upon
turned out to be the aria 'of a man. Upon making
further search the men discovered, with ' the excep-
tion of the arm before alluded to, the entire skeleton
of a full-grown male, with light auburn hair. Informa-
tion of the discovery was sent by Mr. P. EdinOer, the
secretary to' the- company, to Mr. Vaughan, the sum-
moning officer for the district, who immediately clomrau-
nicated With the parochial authorities, and also with Mr.
Baker,- the coroner for the eastern division of Middlesex,
but whether or not an inquest will 'be held on the re-
mains is at present linknown. One of the rumours in
circulation in the neighbOurhood is, that the party had
been murdered, and the body buried in the place where
found ;' but from inquiries "made by Mr. Vaughan, the.
'summoning officer, there seems strong grounds fpr cony.
chiding that the 'body was that of a 'suicide, who had
been buried in the cross-roads some 70 or 80 years since.
The affair, however, has caused an extraordinary sensa-
tion throughout "the parishes of Bethnal-green , and
Shoreditch.
LINCOLN SPRING RACE MRETING.-011 Monday and
Tuesday next the meeting is announced to come off, it
having, been postponed in consequence of the frost.
The entries for the various stakes are numerous, and
contain the names of some of the best horses of the day
For the Grand Steeple Chase there were 36 entries, for
the Spring Handicap 21, for the Hurdle Race 29, for
the Trial Stakes 8, and for the Two-year-old Stakes 10.
The innkeepers and other traders expect to be very busy,•
as the previous spring races have attracted hundreds
from all parts of the kingdom who enter very extensively
into the chances of the turf.
AN ACCIDENT occurred to the newspaper express train
yesterday morning. Thd engine ran off the rails in the
neighbourhood of Crick; the road became entirely
blocked up in consequence, but we are happy to learn
that confusion, delay, and the fright of the passengers
were the only evils arising out of this' casualty. The
paksengers were senti on by another train, but the news-
papers did not reach Birmingham until two hours after
tie usual, time.
