TATTERSALL' S— PSTRI:D4 r.
Nearly the whole of the business transacted was on the Good-
wood Stakes, for which two or three new favourites made their
appearance. Mahometan and Valentissimo continue at the head
of the poll, the former, perhaps, not so much in favour as he was
last week. Toothill, who runs this day for the Gloucestershire
Stakes, was in high force at 9to I ; should he win that race his
extra weight at Goodwood will be increased from 51b. to 71b.
Loutherbourgh's friends were sanguine, and St. Luke was backed at
12 to Ito win, nearly 2,000/. 9to 1 was taken about Harkaway,
and afterwards offered ; he is now within two or three day's march
of Goodwood, and does not appear to be very generally fancied.
King Cole is declared not to start, his owner having failed in his
efforts to obtain a van to convey him from Cheltenham, where he
runs this day. The St. Leger is almost out of the market—only
three horses were mentioned yesterday, and in them there is not
much change. Closing prices :

Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, the atten-
tion of a policeman, of the N division, on duty in the (balk. road, Pen •
Wyllie, was directed by some boys at play on the spot to a bundle
(wrapped in a blue and white apron) deposited in one of the vaults beneath
a newly-formed ro.l leading from the Chalk-road' to Maiden-lane,
Battle-brizigc. On opening the bundle he discovered the body of a full-
grown male child, which, from appearances, could not have been in the
world many hours, with a string fastened tightly round the neck. The
police have pot at present any clue to en nble them to discover the tint*.
tural runt, 'Re 1)0d7 was immediately conveyed to the Islington
station-house.
