DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF A CHILD IN EARL
SPENCER'S GROUNDS, ST. JAMES'S.—Last evening Mr.
Bedford, the Westminster coroner, held an iavestigation
in the vestry-room, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, re-
specting the circumstances connected with the discovery of
the body of a fine female child, which was found in the
grounds in the rear of Earl Spencer's mansion, which, at hie
well known, abuts on the Green-Park. Thomas Phill-
well, gardener to the noble lord, deposed that on Tuesday
afternoon, at about four o'clock, he was at work in the
grounds, when in going through the shrubbery near the
park railings bounding the Queen's-walk, he came upon a
parcel lying within a few feet of the railings. He turned
it over, and saw the arm of a child. He at once commu-
nicated with a police-constable, who took charge of the
body. The earl and family had been out of town for some
time, and the mansion was partially shut up. Dr. Blox-
hpm, of Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, said he had
examined the body., which was that of a fine female child.
The diaper napkin was of the finest texture, and had some
peculiar marks in blue and red silk thread, bearing
a great
resemblance to the remains of a coronet. The jury
f re-
turneds a verdict of "Found dead, there being no proof
to the cause of death.

their own estimation, is the condition gentlemen—the

two months. In ono of his sprees, on Saturday
night, he alighted

raiment, gold watch and chain, and donned
Garvin's nondescript tatters. The song now went on most
splendidly,. but after a little Garvin commenced dancing,
also in " character," and danced out of the door of the
house. After waiting some time for his return, it flashed
on William's mind that it was just possible that the man
might not intend to return, and that he may have been
