He supposed the paw belonged to one of the bears whoa fat supplied so many gentlemen with fine heads of hair, and hs agreed with the medical gentleman who first examined it in the opinion that it had been boiled, although there was tome error as to the kind of animal to which it belonged. Mr. Hobler suggested tbe propriety, as doctors sometimes differed, of leaving the paw, or hand, or whatever it was, in the hospital, in order that it might undergo thorough examination laughter No doubt, as had been remarked, the poor fellow who lost it had worked hard for his bread. Thia suggestion was, we were given to understand, adopted, Sc the articU' was ordered to be put in spirits forthwith, at the request of the medical authority; in whose opinion it is a hand, and not a paw.

At Limbeth-street, on Wednesday, War. Bound, Danism. Perkins, Thouas Burley, and John Waltos, were charged with stealing five boxes containing upwards of 50t worth of Irish linen, the property oi Mr. William Aspin, a carman, of Morgan's-Iane, Tooley.street. From the statement of Mr.

Hum phries, who attended for the prosecution, it appeared, that on the SOU) day of June last the prisoner John Walton, who was In the service of Mr. Aspin as a waggoner, received a number of boxes and paekagea from on board a vessel lying near Tooley-street, to be delivered at different warehouses in the city but instead of doing se, he deserted the vehicle, leaving it in the public street, and when found, five boxes of linen, of the value of five hundred pounds, had been carried away.

He had no doubt that next year by a little exertion, subscriptions might be obtained among the sporting gentlemen 01 the C'i of London to give a purse of at least jtlOO to be run for, and that ere long the City Steeple C'liace-- would rank second to none in Kogland. He concluded by eulogising tbe conduct of Mr.

G. Orbell and Mr. Carter, for the liheral manner in which they had permitted the chaces to be run over their land, and also for their assistance in forwarding the arrangements of the day. Tbe healths of these gentlemen were drunk with enthusiasm. Many other trumps" were complimented in the course of the evening, and at a late hour we left the party in the height of their enjoyment.

Steeplk Ciiack at Uidfor.1i. A took place on Thursday the l'Jth instant at Bidford, near Stratford. on-Avon, over a circular course of a mile and a half, heats, with three strong fences and two double flights of hurdles. Five horses enters', and four started. Mr.

In the first heat, Esper bolted, and jumped into the river Avon the rider, having to carry 151b weight, was with difficulty saved, and the horse was not got out under IS minutes. A sweepstakes was afterwards run for by Mr.

Lowe's li 01, Landscape, Mr Cockbill's Little Bob, and Mr. Wadams's Grasshopper, the winner of the first race. This was an exceedingly well-contested race, being won by Landscape Grasshopper having gone the wrong aide of tbe flag, pulled up early in the race. Some other matches were made on the course, which prolonged and heightened the sport. These races have been commenced under the liberal auspices of Mr.

Webb, the master of the Park Hall Harriers, and are confined exclusively to horses that have been hunted with his hounds. There is every prospect that these sports will become annual. Sudbury Steepi.k-chace. This event came off on Tuesday last, when five horses started, Mr. Blandon's Jerecd, Mr.

Matthew's Rover, Mr. Brown's grey mare, Mr Strutt's Red Robin, and Mr. Lygurs' Jenny. The racing began between Red Rob and Je-reed, side by side over two er three ences which they cleared in excellent style, until they reached a thick thorn fe-ce, twelve feet high, when Red Robin rushed at it very boldly, but gave his rider a burster, and injured him severely by the fall. Red Robin was closely followed by Jereed, but the grey mare soon took Jereed's place, the latter lying within a length or two, and Rover making them go along at a spanking pace.

At the lust two fences the latter was some distance behind, but, having taken care at the beginning, was enabled to pass t. grey mare within five or six lengths of home, and came within two or three of Jereed, who was declared winner. The sportsmen afterwards adjourned to the Lion Inn, and sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by the landlord, Mr. Double, the strength of whose wine made some of the guests see double btfore they separated. It is in contemplation to make the steeple-chace an annual amusement, and increasing sport is expected next year.

On the day of the robbarf, tisfi 29th of June, 1837, witness, on returning to his master's residence, found that four or five boxes had been brought there during his absence. On the same evening he waa sent with five sacks, which were filled with something in the bottom, and a few coals at the top, to the house of a person named Morgan, who waa the (on-in-law of his master, and after waiting there a short time he received the sacks back. The boxes brought to his master's (Mr. Hale's) house were also givers to him to be broken up, and he sawed and chopped thm iato smalt pieces. Lea, the officer, said, that in consequence of information, which he had received, he, on the 30th of June last, went to the house of the master of the last witness, in Fashion-street, SpitalfleUs and on searching the parlour found seven pieces of linen, a portion the stolen property.

He had also found in a shed a quantity of wood which had evidently formed portions of boxes, and in some parts them was a private mark, which Mr. Aspin, identified as belong ing to the boxes that had been stolen. James Shields stated, that on. the 3d of July last he, in company with Miller, the chief officer, went to the house of a person named Morgan in Waterloo-town, and on lifting up the flooring of the parlour, they found 116 pieces of Irish linen, a portion of the property stolen. Lea here remarked that Morgan, at whose house the property waa found, waa the (on-ln-lav-of Hale, at whose house he had found six piece oi the stolen linen, but from what he had been able to learn of him, it waa his opinion, that he had nothing to do with the robbery.

Morgan, the person alluded to, laid, that on the day of the robbery he had been from home at work, and knew nothing whatever of the property being removed to his room, until it was found there, and he bad then absented himself, being apprehensive of the consequences of being ap. prehended on the charge. Mr. Humphries here intimated that Walton hsd evinced a disposition to tell the whole truth as to the robber, and on the part of the prosecutor he (Mr. Humphries) hid no ob during the ensuing summer, from the launching about the middle of May of a vist machine of immense powers, which has been constructed by a number of scientific gentlemen, on the principle of Montgolfier.

Singular Investigation. At Worship-street, on Monday, Messrs. Broughton and Codd were occupied for a considerable time Colonel Hawker and Mi. Wickham. A sort of angry collision litis taken place between these gentlemen.

We stated a fortnight back that Mr. Wickham had thnght proper, in March last, to summon Charles Heath, the deputed gamekeeper of Colonel Hawker, who is Lord of the Manor of Bullington, before two Magistrates of Andover, for trespass, and the man was lined in the full penalty of and costs. Against this conviction Colonel Hawker appealed to the Quaiter Sessions at Winchester, on the ground (in addition to certain reservations over the land in question, claimed by the Colonel under ancient muniments of title, aud which would hare been submitted to the Bench) fhat the 35th section of the Act of 1 and 2 William cap. 23, exempts Lords of Manors and their keepers from this penalty, and leaves them only subject to acta of trespass. The Dili section requiring notice of appeal to be given within three days, and four days having elapsed, from Sunday intervening, Mr.

Wickham took advantage of that technicality, and the appeal was quasht-d, although Colonel Hawker expressed lhe greatest anxiety to go into Ihe question and the Bench, seeing that Mr, Wickham was disposed to evade the fair discussion of the point at issue, only awarded him 40s. towards costs. These facta having appeared in the TitHex, Mr. Wickham wrote a letter to that journal on the 10th instant, in which he denied thtt he from the discussion," ll. UG11TS AND SHADOWS OF 1RHII LIFE.

II. UXDOM RECOLLECTIONS OF THE LORDS AND COMMONS. (Second Sccries.l nature; it was a foot chace of half a mile, and there were 12 severe fences and an ash spinney to pass tliioujili, which was thrown up in beds. Pedestrians assemoled at the starting place, and on the signal being given they started ar.d cleared the first fence in gallant style the next mound brought them into a spinney, where one or two, more unfortunate than their biother sportsmen, got so entangled in the thorns and briars that they lost all chance in the chace, wh ch was l.ft toBorsberry a -d Paxton, who were determined to try each other's Itrengtb. Fence after fence was taken in fine style until the last but one, which was truly it was sufficient to tuin 'Old Vivian' shy it was a wall of four feet high, surmounted by two rails, drawn with thorns at the least seven feet ftom ground, which was gallantly cleared by Paxton, who threw himself head.

foremost over, and immediately leaping the last fence came in and received the prize. A steeple-chace came off on Monday week at Auchnoonshill, about eleven miles on the Lanark-road. Mr. John Rogers, horse-dealer, of Edinburgh, was the winner. This is the second steeeple-ehac which has been won by Mr.

Rogers in the same neighbourhood, and on both occasions he deposited, with a liberality worthy of imitation, thiec pounds in the hands of the gentleman on whose farm tlie steeple-chace took place for distribution among the industrious poor.

On going iu he fonnd a girl in the passage (whom he afterwards ascertained to be insane) making a violent outcry and when he had succeeded in soothing her he proceeded up stairs, where he found a wretched-looking woman in a miserable buck room, who told him that her aunt, who kept tbe house, had confined her there for tbe last seven years against her will. She complained also of an insufficiency of food and, as she appeared very hungry, witness asked the aunt, who by this time had made her appearance, to give her something to eat, and a brown loaf and some tea having been placed before her, she began to devour it in such a la-venous manner that witness thought it necessary, for fear of the consequences, to restrict hei. lie had hern-moved, together with her child, to St. Luke's workhouse, and slit- was now in attendance to undergo examination. The poor creature, who presented a squalid and emaciated appearance, was placed in the witness-box, and in au-swer to Mr.

Brougbion's questions, she stated that she hadbeen con jection, with the consent of the Magistrate, to receive his testimony. Mr. Hardwick having given bis consent, Walton was removed frou the dock, aod being told by the Magistrate that his being admitted a evidence for the Crown would entirely depend on telling, the) whole truth, and nothing but the truth, he stated that on the 29th, June, after receiving several bales and boxes into his master's waggon, he was proceeding over London -bridge to deliver them in Cheapaide and other places, when he met the three prisoners and another ma who was since dead, on the City side of London-bridge, when the prisoner Perkins asktdhimif he would sell a few boxes of tbe linen, and be replied that he would not. Perkins asked him why, and at the same time said that he knew a place where be could put away a whole load.

They then persuaded him to take his waggon behind St. Luke's Church, Old-street, to where the prisoner Bu'ley brought a cart, and fire boxes were loaded from bis wa7gon.

The parties subsequently treated him to more liquor, and advised him to Allist. Agricnlt. Cummissioner on the late Poor Inniiirr. Verongl. recommend his work to the early perusal of all who are into and tnid that the appellant's Couusel was distinctly told in court, that if Colonel Hawker's gamekeeper would on any appointed day repeat the trespass 011 the land in question, he (Mr.

Wickham) would pledge himself to bring an action at law, and afford Colonel Hawker an opportunity to exhibit his ancient muniments of title to certain reservations over the land." To this letter Colonel Hawker replied, charaetrrizing Mr. Wickhum'i letter as a country-lawyer-like rigmarole," and expressing doubt whether he would attempt to proceed to rrcover the penalty costs. The G. Uant Colonel then proceeds in the following strain It requires 110 lawyer to see that the S5th section of the New Game Act exempts not only Lords of Manors, but even of reputed' manors, aud their keepers, from the new penally, and leaves them subject only tn actions of tespass 1 and the 4ith section precludes the power of brioging sucli actions where the new penalty has been had recourse to. Now.if Mr.

Wickham is so fond of law. why did he exclude himself from tryiug the question, by summoning my gamekeeper for a pcualty I aud even in a case wlieie it was Illegal to award one Why did he nut bring his action, and try the question at the assizes, by which means burnt light might have been thrown on bis docu. mental and other conclusive by a production of our respective title deeds, which again and agaiu I had offered to submit to counsel or even friends, and thereby settle all disputes in a pleasant way that would prevent future litigation Hut this Mr. Wickham (who is wholly under the influencs of bad advisers; positively refuses to do. It is really quite laughable that Mr.

Wickham should attempt to dispute my rights as Lord of tht Manor, while he pays me an annual quit rent, that has been received above a century, and when he himself, at his uwn earnest entreaty, held my deputation from the yiar 1810, and exercised it without mercy till he wa superseded by Heath in 1837, and frum this moment he (Or rather the parties by whom he is unfortu. natety gu'dedi commenced a system of persecution and unneighbourly con. duct, though gut bi-at, as deserved, in ail three of the other cases that were brought before the Magistrates." The Culonel thus concludes his letter, to which no reply has since been made, a strongproof ot the ukness of Mr. Wickham's position lager and Mr. Holnian's Creeper will come off on Stavertoa Race i roc improvement anu happiness of I relauu.

Cox and Biddulph, the bankers, but since then her aunt had drawn and disposed of it. For the last two years she had not allowed to go out at all. Inspector Robinson stated that he had waited upon Lady Trigge, in Saville-row, who stated that she knew the complainant, and expressed a wish that the matter might undergo the fullest investigation. Mr. Broughton issued a warrant against the aunt, and directed tbe officers immediately to bri her before him, and also all the papers that they could find relating to the complainant's affairs.

In about an hour's time the aunt arrived in a hackney-coach, guarded by the police, to protect her from the violenee of an immense mob, who followed her to the office with threats and imprecations. She is an aged woman, of respectable appearance, (he stated her name to be Charity Smith.

The policeman banded up to the bench a bundle of papers, amongst which was the copy of a will, purporting to be that of Miss Henley, and dated November 1822, which bequeathed an annuity of 100 guineas to complainant and her mother during their joint lives.

These events, which excited much interest, came off on Thursday last, over a fine sporting country about three milts beyond Romford in Essex.

The morning; was exceedingly bleak and cold, bat despite of wind and weather," a nomber of well-known Nirarods wended their way to the appointed place at an early hour, and by twelrs o'clock the head quarters, the King's lleao, Romford, was crowded with visitors. Mr. Watson, of the Cattle, Muorgate, was entrusted with the management, and notwithstanding a host of jovial fellows who had met at his house on the previous night when the entries closed, kept him up till four o'clock, he reached Romford at eight, and had the ground flagged out long before the arrival of the competing parties. At two o'clock a general move was made for the starting place, and shortly after the rain came down in torrents, much to the annoyance of those who bad left their Macintoshes behind them. The wind also blew great guns," and on turning down the road to the left, about a mile and a half out of Romford towards the starting place, the wind and rain came bang in the teeth of the equestrians, numbers of whom sought shelter in a farm yard, where they remained, contenting themselves with seeing a portion of the race from that spot.

Others, who repaired to the winning-field, got completely drenched. The starting field was on a fine racing hill, at Paul Barn Mead, Foxbury Wood, and the line extended acros a small biook and a narrow field, at the extremity of which, there was a good hunting fence then across two fields over a gentle proceeding along the fields by the side of the road to Abridfi, leaving Brick Kiln Farm House to the right, thence in a straight line over Nook Hill Lane, across two large fields to the Green Lane, and along five fields to a piece of pasture at the back of Mr. White's farm, about a quarter of a mile from the Romford road, and back to the place of starling. There was some excellent fencing in the line, and the jumps in and out of Nook Hill Lane were raspers. The leaps at the Green Lane were also good ones.

With the exception of a piece of wheat and some clover lay, the whole was pasture land, and it was generally remarked, that a finer country could not have been selected for the occasion. The distance was about 3 miles. The first chace was for a sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, carrying 1 1st 71b; the winner to be sold for 100 sovs, ii demanded in th usual way. The following horses came to the post Mr Watson's ns Mr Elmore's Nigger J.Mason Mr Wood's Jackey'My Lad Oldakcr Mr Sheppard's Cinderella Martin Scffcrt's Lincoln Lass Fleming One subscriber paid half forfeit. Shortly after going away Jackry went a head to the left, followed by the Nigger, Cinderalla, and the Lincoln Lass.

There appeared to be but little or no variation till nearing the distance. Hag, when Oldster steered Jackey rather too much to the left, which obliged him to take a nasty gate out of a rick-yard into the field where the flag was s'ationed. Cinderalla turned it first, but the Nigger and Lincoln Lass were close upon the mare. Jackey having lost nearly a field was made to increase his pace, and Oldaker also marking out an excellent line be shortly caught his horses, and again took the lead. Cinderella fell at a fence about a mile from home, and, although Martin received a nasty burster, he remounted, but the mare'achance was entirely thrown out by her falling.

About six fields (rom home Fleming fell over his mare's head and alighted on his feet. He was quickly up again, and his good-looking nag soon joined the leading horses. The three were now close together, and the race became highly interesting. The Lincoln Lass first jumped into the road, but having got into a muck heap far above her hocks the could not extricatr herself for some time, and the race consequently laid between the Nigger and Jackey. After an excellent struggle Mason fccldinger, in order that he might convey the deceased to his brother' residence, where he shortly afterwards died, exclaiming in his dying moments that something had been administered to him in the liquor of which he hod partaken.

He never held up his head after ha reached his brother's house. Hi limbs failed him, and a drowsiness took place, from which, although a very stout young man, he could not rally. Mr. Gregorie observed, that he waa afraid many ofleoees of this description had taken place, but at present there waa sot sufficient testimony to send the parties to trial for the murder. Jan Eddinger, one of the prisoners, upon offering to make a coafession of her knowledge of the transaction, was sworn, and deposed an follows I have lived with the prisoner Luces for three months, and I know all tbe other prisoners.

Foot StkeplE Chace at Birmingham. On Wednesday a feot steeple chace came off at Birmingham, amongst a party of six medical students of the town, whose real names, for several reaeoi.s, were rot made public, but these only given in which they ran.

The conditions of the race were, to run a mile over any country which the umpires might select, and the gentlemen engaged in the race, not to see the ground till the morning of starting. In the distanced ran there was a brook exceeding five yards in width, with a bad taiitjs; off, and a flight of rails with a hedge on the opposite side, and sixteen as 'stiff fences as could well have been selected in addition to this, the ground was exceedingly heavy, owing to the late rains, and there were three ploughed fields to run over, besides one or two little hills." Notwithstanding the secresy with which the affair was conducted, there was a numerous field to view the event. About four o'clock, p.m., the following six were at the post: Sprightly, blue and yellow I Never-sweat, purple and orange Rustic, crimson Vulcan, black and while Chit chat, piok and blue The Spouter, green and yellow Previous to starting The Spouter was the decided favourite, the odds being only 2 to 1 againgt him, with plenty of takers but owing to the heaviness of the ground, it was doubted by some whether he could go the distance, his speed being well-known but his lasting powers as yet uatried. Vulcan had numerous backers, who were very sweet upen him, aod the Rustic also had taken the odds heavily against himself, and it was tbe opinion of some parties that the race was booked as his own. The other three were not in much demand, with the exception of Never-sweat, who had a few friends.

After the ground had been viewed and the course cleared, all the candidates weie ranged at the starting post, and at tbe word "g9." went off at a racing pace, Vulcan taking the lead, closely followed by Chit-chat, Never-sweat, and Sprightly Rustic and The Spouter taking a line of their own to the brook. In this order the first three fences were well taken when they came to the brook, at which, as was expected, all were in. Rustic a. id Never sweat getting the worst sousing. Here Vulcan still leading, Never-sweat lying cl se behind him, but owing to the former mistaking tbe flag, he and Never-sweat ran about 100 yards out of tbe line, and in consequence were passed by Rustic and Chit-chat.

Chit, chat was now the favourite, all declaring that he must win it. Here, however, The Spouter, who had being lying behind, now came up and passed them all, which immediately changed the betting. At ths point of the race, Sprightly was dead beaten, and it was also evident that the Rustic's chance was gone. The raae seemed to lie between Spouter and Vulcan, who were the two first, Chit-chat third, and Never-sweat fourth. Vulcan, however, being stuck at a fenee, and Chit-chat not bring able to get by him, they were both passed by Never-sweat this was about two fields from home, when The Spouter came to some hurdles, with Never-sweat close upon him here they ran nearly together to the end of tbe last field but one, when some person ran against Never-sweat and nearly upset him, thus losing an excellent chance of tbe race.

8pou'er got well over the last fence in which Never-sweat stuck, and The Spouter landed a gallant winner by a dosen yards, Never-sweat second, Vulcan third, Chit-chat fourth, both well up, Rustic a bad fifth, and Sprightly last. The running of Vulcan and Chit-cat was much admired. The distance was done in eight minutes and a few seconds, which (considering the state of tbe country, and the number of fences, not forgetting the sonsing at the brook) was very excellent running. Tbe fences were all taken in admirable style indeed, the race altogether seemed to give general satisfaction. It appears that some parties fancy that Vulcan can beat the winner.

We are assured that Tbe Spouter will ran him a mile over any country, for whatever sum he pleases. The Pioeon Match at Chalk Farm. -There was a strong muster a the Farm," on Wednesday, to witness the shooting for tbe Silver Tankard, given by Mr. Bowden, The match was open to he was entertained by the Conservatives on Monday. The Hon.

Ba ronet was very cordially received, anc will, no douot, contuse te s'ar it" for some time. Sir George Sinclair plays second fiddle. which she replied, that she was not capable of taking care of herself. Mr. Broughton expre-sd his conviction that there was something extremely wrong about the business, and he directed Inspector Robinson to make the necessary inquiries at Doctors' Commons, the banking-house, The worthy magistrates requested that tbe unfortunate complainant might be taken eveiy care of at the workhouse, and told the Inspector to place an officer in the aunt's house to protect her from the violence ef the populace.

The Lord Mayor and the Bear's Paw, or a Horrible Affair Explainer. On Monday, the beadle of Langbourne Ward appeared before the Lord Mayor at tbe Mansion-house, and mude the following statement Some boys belonging to the neighbourhood cf Leadenhall. market were hunting rats amongst the lockers in which the live stock is usually kept during market hours, and one of them got into a locker for the purpose of stirring it about, in order to rout any nf the ious vermin that might have slipi ed in lor a repast. On stooping down the lad fancied that somebody shook him by the hand, and starting up he flung out amongst his comrades a hand sure enough, to the great dismay of all. Tbinkiug that such an adventure was quite enough for him, he made no further search, but ran home with the hand to his master.

The circumstance caused a very great emotion in the vicinity, and it was soon afterwards reported thtt a human hand and pair of legs were found, and before night closed in the ward authorities were informed that it was believed that a body which exactly fitted; the bead and legs was dug up amongst the rubbish, It wss since ascertained, however, by the witness and Isaacs, a ward officet that the facts had been greatly exaggerated, as the hand was the only revolting object that presented itself after all. The Lord Mayor asked whether tbe band had been examined by a surgeon. The beadle ro uced the following certificate, which he said signed by a surgeon to whom the hand was shown, in order that he might give bis opinion whether it wag separated from the arm when the unfortunate man who owned it was alive or drad The hand is considerably diseased a- regards the bones of the fore and little fingers, and judging from the recent appearance of the separated wrist-joint, has ''been amputated, but whether before or after death there is no certain evidence, though in all probability before." Isaacs, Ihe ward-officer, sai hat the certificate increased the difficulty, as nobody could think how tbe band of a living per on could have been flun into such a place, although it might be readily suppose that a young surgeon, after using the hand of a subject, for the purpose o' dissection, would get rid of it in such a manner. Having heard tne report which was spread abroad, to the great alarm of the ward, he obtained the hand, which, to add to tbe strange hor. or of the facts, appeared as if it had lieen boiled.

th- hand, which had been oiled up in a napkin, was exhibite! by the ward-beadle. It appeared to havt been moat awkwardly cut away from tbe wrist, and was very much discoloured, Mr. 1 1 abler remarked bat there appeared to be an onusual quantity of fat about the band, but it was in such a condition that it would be difficult to pronounce accurately any opinion aboutit until it underwent some process at the hospital, A gentleman, who said that he resided in Nicbolas-lane, stated that he had often se -n limbs, amputated, and after having undergone a variety of proiesses. and he was of opinion that tl band had not been temoved by a person of high professional skill, and 'hat it hd beyond all doubt been boiled. The surgeon, who examined it had stated that in two or three days be could give a mor decided opinion.

It wss the right baid of a man who had evidently worked hard. Tbe Lord Mayor directed the ward beadle to take the hand to St, Thomas's Hospital, in order that the professional authorities there might examine and report on the natter. The ward beadle and officer immediately repaired to the hospital, lraving behind them in the justic- room several persons who felt considerable anxiety about the result. In tbout half an hoar the messengers returned, and the Lord Mayor asked what the surgeon at the hospital said Tbe ward beadle replied that Dr. Barker and Surgeon Sollv (aid that there was a mistake about th breught the Nigger in a winner by about two lengths.
