SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OF THE HEAR OF MRS. THOMAS.  The head of a woman has been dug up out of the sand on the banks of the Thames between Hammersmith and Barnes. It was discovered by a waterman named Wright, who caught a glimpse of it at ebb tide; but, as there were a number of men near him when he first saw it, he waited his opportunity, and then dug it out quietly and took it to Queen-street station, Hammersmith, The head is much decomposed, and almost unrecognisable. It has been seen by several of the police authorities, and also by the Richmond dentist who supplied the late Mrs. Thomas with a palate and set of false teeth. The opinion of the police is that it is undoubtedly the head of Mrs. Thomas, but no positive conclusion can be arrived at without minute examination and further official inquiry. As the place where it was picked up corresponds in great measure with one of the convict Webster's last statements, that she went down by the waterside with the head—inquiries are being made for the purpose of endeavouring to ascertain whether she was seen going in that direction or tie night of the 4th of March, after she left the korters in the Bridge Horse Hotel. _  Another account states—A human skull was dug out of the Thames foreshore, between Hammersmith and Barnes, on Wednesday morning. A rumour was spread with lightning-like rapidity that the head was that of the murdered woman Mrs. Thomas, who was killed at Richmond, but the teeth remaining in the gums disprove this, showing it is the skull of a much younger person. Inspector Fisher of Hammersmith, thinks it impossible that the head can be that of Mrs. Thomas, owing to the number and condition of the teeth.  A London correspondent writing on Thursday night vays:—"Kato Webster ia said to be in an exceedingly prostrate and nervous condition, and has sunk much lower than on any prey ions occasion. She persists in maintaining her innocence, and is most anxious to know whether any steps are being taken to test the accuracy of her last statements. She is very anxious to see some of her friends, and especially her little boy. Inquiries are being made as to whether any further orders have been received from the Home becretary to the officials engaged in the case. Mr. Rudd, dentist, states decidedly that the head recently found is not that of Mrs. Thomas."
