THE DERBY.

A good many horses were backed, but it will be seen by the
prices that the alterations were few and unimportant. Phoenix and
Young Rowton stand precisely as they did on Friday at Newmarket,
while Grey Momus, who has been progressing for the last four or
five days, is drawing very closely on them. Bamboo and Nonplus
are also at the last Newmarket odds ; the former in much, the other
in moderate, request. lon, The Early Bird, Cobham, Bullion, and
D'Egville, arc at the old prices. Conservator's party is as small
and as sanguine as ever. 30 to 1 was taken in hundreds, and they
would have gone on had the layers of the odds been willing.

beyond all doubt, been boiled. The surgeon who examired
is had st ited that in two or three days he could give a more
decided opinion. It was no doubt the hand of a man who
worked hard.
The LORD MAYOR directed the ward beadle to take the
hand to St. Thomas's Hospital, in order that the professional
authorities there might examine it, and report on the matter:
The ward beadle and officer immediately repaired to the
Hospital, leaving behind them in the Justice. room several per'
sons who felt considerable anxiety about the result.

The LORD MAYOR asked what the surgeons at the llosP"‘
said? Tile ward beadle replied that Dr. Baker and Surgeon
Jay said that there was a mistake about the hand, as it did
not belong to a man but a bear.—(Great laughter.) The
gentlemen took him into the Museum, and showed him the
difference between a bear's fist and a human being's, and the
former was a great deal fatter—besides the nails turned io,
and the wrist was quite another sort of article. They were of
opinion too, when asked, whether the person was al:C!
dead t, hen the hand was cut off, that if he was alive he
must very probably have roared so loud as to show who an
what he was.—( Great laughter.)

Mr. HOBLER suggested the propriety, as doctors sometimes
differed, of leaving the paw, or hand, or whatever it %vast di
the hospital, in order that it might undergo a thorough ex'
amination.—(Laughter.) There was no doubt, as had bog
remarked, that the poor fellow who had lost it had worked
hard for his bread.
This suggestion was, we were given to understand, adoptt

Yesterday Mr. Spence, a gentleman residing at Cain

parent at the former gentleman's house.

Mr. Spence sent for a policeman and had the infant *.akea

the infant was found, there was also a black silk bonnet Oa
its head ; but, as yet, there is not the slightest clue by which
to discover the party by whom it was left in the situation above
described.

The Magistrate (Mr. Traill) said that Mr. Spence Was Per-
