If such inquiries had been made what must have been their scope and character, and , I how much intelligence and energy could the 1 in quirers have shown, when they failed to learn that WILLIAM HENRY CLARKE was employed at the nur sery-ground we have mentioned, and that he had been twice before charged with decoying little girls into the garden under his charge for brutal pur poses ? A surgeon lives in William-street who bad examined one of the children formerly assaulted by CLARKE, and yet he was never asked if he knew of any criminal attacks upon young girls in the neighbourhood. Nobody i appears to have been consulted who could throw any light on the mystery, and the public imagina tion was left to run riot. It is too much, we suppose, to expect that in such a case the books of the local police-office, within a third of a mile of the place, should have been searched for all cases of crimes against children that had been recorded for the previous six months. Such a mode of searching would have implied a settled determination to exhaust all chances of discovery in the neighbourhood before flying to those romantic solutions of the mystery which only sug gest themselves to earnest students of bad fiction. We are not disposed to dwell too severely upon this presumed omission to search the police records, but we must certainly ask why the character of every person in William-street was not inquired into. If Mr. Rows, the proprietor of the nursery ground where the dead body of EuzasEru HUNTER was found, had been spoken to pointedly on this subject, the statement that he would doubt less have made about the propensities of his servant—Wmciam HENRY CLARKE—MCKIM have materially narrowed the circle of inquiry. The police might not, at that period, have been induced to search for a dead child, but they would have had their attention directed to a man who had tampered with two female children—one in October, 1861, and another in January, 1862. During the nineteen days that WILLIAM HENRY CLARKE remained in Mr. Rows's service after the disappearance of ELIZABETH HUNTER, before he was discharged for suspected dishonesty, the ques tion of his guilt or innocence might surely have been set at rest by a couple of active officers. The, memory of all the circumstances connected with the abduction would then have been fresher than it is now, though it has been kept alive by the strong desire which the public have always felt to see this great mystery solved. The discovery of the mangled remains of Em remit HUNTER in Mr. RowE's garden is not, of court*, due to the police ; we could hardly ex pect this after so much systematic neglect of William-street and its inhabitants. A boy accidentally dug up the body last Monday, and the police were then set in motion by that " in formation " which they always seem to be waiting to " receive," but seldom willing or able to seek. They have arrested the suspected murderer, and have indulged in the mummery of putting the nur sery-garden in charge of an officer, but they can hardly regain the ground they have so foolishly lost. Even the chain of evidence appears to have been completed without them, and they can do little more than follow where they ought to lead. Whether we look at the unthinking aid given by the Home Office in this came by the offer of a mere reward, or the break-down of police officers and men, a more scandalous instance of general police incapacity has rarely come under our notice. Although the Session is now at its last gasp, we trust thatsome member of Parliament will take such a notice of the whole affair as will lead to immc diate investigation, if not to reform. the erarreoo.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY IL IT has been our painful duty before to-day to call attention to the defects of our Police system, and particularly to the miserable inefficiency of our so-called " detectives." Hardly has the un solved mystery of the Bloomsbury murder been registered as a disgrace to these officers, when another case turns up which is even more damag ing to their reputation. If the Home Office offi cial' and the Scotland-yard martinets take any pride in their work, the discovery of the body of the poor ChiId—ELIZABETH HCIITES—in William street, Islington, must have filled them with shame. We have never been called upon to record a case where more carelessness and stupid disregard of facts have been shown by the police, or a more mechanical adherence to routine has been exhibited by their super'-itendenta. In placing a connected story before our readers to justify these strong statements, we are not about to vio late a very wholesome rule of journalism. We shall not prejudge WILLIAM HENRY CLARKE—the yoing man who is in custody as the suspected murderer of Euzmurrvi Hinfren—any more than if we were writing an ordinary report of the pro ceedings that have already taken place before the magistrate and the coroner. On Sunday, the 30th of March, 1862, about ten o'clock at night, two little girls, named CHAR LOTTE and ELIZABETH HUNTER—the first about twelve years of age, the second about eight years o: age—were standing in Green Man's-lane, a narrow turning in the Lower-road, Islington. A man, dressed in nothing more noticeab'e than a turban cap, with two ribbons hanging behind, came up to these girls, and asked the youngest to take a letter into William-street, New North-road, offering her twopence. They were poor people's children, and the eldest appears to have prevented her sister carrying this letter. The man then took ELIZABETH If cyrr.• by the hand and walked away with her, and the eldest child followed them. The distance from Green Man's-lane to William-street is not more than an eighth of a mile in a direct line, and CHARLOTTE HUNTER missed ELIZABETH and the man in the latter street. Her bonnet fell off, and by the time she had picked it up they had disap peared. That was the hut Ca.taLorrz Burma ever saw of her sister, and her consistent story of ELIZABETH'S abduction has never varied in any particular. The usual information was given to the police, and the loss of the child soon excited considerable at tention throughout England. The matter was taken up by a local committee, headed, we believe, by the Rector of Islington, and a subscription list was opened to pay for advertisements and other expenses incident' toto the search. Representations were also made to the Home-office, and a Govern ment reward of 501., in addition to a private reward of the same amount, was offered for the discovery of the child. A full description of her and her clothing was printed, and the man who took her away was described by CHARLOTTE HUNTER as , being as old as her father. Her father is a young looking man, about thirty•five years of age. So much for the materials with which the police had to deal, and now we come to the way in which they dealt with them. The commonest principle of investigation is to exhaust the known before we fly to the unknown ; and if this had been acted upon, the mystery of ELIZABETH HuNvEs's disappearance need not have lasted forty-eight hours. CHARLOTTE HUNTER stated clearly and unwaveringly that her sister was asked to take a letter into William-street. She followed her into that street, and she missed her in that street. William-street is a short turning in the New North-road, within a third of a mile of the Islington Police-office, and containing exactly twenty-three small houses and one small nursery garden. We are fully prepared to say that no LATEST INTELLIGENCE. POLAND The Prose of Vienna has the following : - • -- - We have received some interesting indications as to the conditions on which the Polish National Government would be disposed to order the insurgents to lay down their arms. According to a letter from Berlin, those terms would be 1. Of f icial recognition of the accredited representatives of the National Government ; 2. A squadron from the West ern Powers to be seat into the Baltic, and co-operation of the Danish and Swedish fleets ; 3. Commotion of Poland by French and Austrian troops ; 4. Concentration of Rua 'ion troops on the frontiers ; 5. Institution of a Provisional National Government ; 6. Prompt election of national repro. mutation, and the meeting of a Congraw at Warsaw. The Russian journal the Nach4 Wremia (Our Times) publishes a letter from Warsaw, which says : Large bands of insurgent' a now no longer talked of, but on the other hand it is difficult to imagine a clump of trees that doer not conceal some. The air is, in fact, im pregnated with insurrection. One of our oompaciirl has just returned from an expedition ; it marched seventy-two miles' in forty-eight hours without meeting with a single , insurgent, and only brought as prisoners two Polish nobles who were met on the road and on whom were found papers of a suspicious character. We lost during the ex pedition four Cossacks, who, wishing to take some rest, invited themselves to dine at the house of a Pole. Two of them were killed, and the other two have not since been heard of. Such is the result of most of our expeditions. A communication from Warsaw of the 4th, in the People's Gazette of Berlin, says : The Russian government yesterday nnexpectetly des patched a convoy of 1,000 political prisoners for the interior of Rorie.

As thorough a lover of domestic life as Wilkie, he added ►o that feeling, in colour, tone, and drawing, an art-power which was • thousand year, in advance of the Scotch artist. In expression no genre painter surpassed litdready ; nothing could be more genial or cha racteristic than his works. He added love for homely beauty to these excellencies, as in ' The Wedding Gown,' which is inestimable. In some respects one might call bim, so highly should the last-named quality be prized, the Raphael of genre painters. Personally, no man was more esteemed —indeed, reverenced—by the young artists who had grown up about him, none more affectionately regarded by his brother pesintets. His manliness, simplicity, and kindly heart, drew people's regard without consideration of prof es @load honours. Always strong in body, Mulready was, while age permitted, devoted to manly sports : a boxer, a Brat walker, swimmer, and cricketer." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (71011 003 OWN PARIS, FISEDAY EVINING. The paragraph in yesterday's ifoniteur, stating that the Emperor would not go to Cherbourg, was sent by telegraph from Vichy, and is supposed to have been written in consequence of Lord Palmer ston's declaration in the House of Commons that England was under no engagements with France binding her to go to war. It is certain that the maritime-prefect of Cherbourg fully expected the Emperor for a naval review, and had made great preparations to receive him. The Petrie, replying to a rebuke which the Constitution/id affects to administer for its war like article the other day, says, justly enough, that there is no substantial difference be tween them, The Patrie is for " action," and the Congitutionthel for " firmness."

THE LATE BARON STOCKMAR.—A telegraphic despatch yesterday announced the death, at Coburg, in M. 77th year, of Baron Stockmar, the earliest and most devoted friend of her Majesty. Baron Stockmar bad been a faithful attendant and companion of Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, even before the marriage of his royal highness with the Princess Charlotte ; and when his establishment wee formed in England Baron Stockmar was appointed controller of the household. He continued the friend of Prince Leopold after be accepted the throne of Belgium, though he was no longer in attendance on him, and at intervals he weed much of his time in England, where he enjoyed the confidence of the Duchess of Kent to an unlimited extent. In these days of her early childhood the Queen's friendship ' for, and confidence in, Baron Stockmar began, and continued without interruption to the present moment. Before the marriage of Prince Albert with the Queen his royal high ness employed the autumn of 1838-39 in a tour in Italy, and Brea Stockmar was requested by the King of the Belgians to accompany his royal highness upon this journey, and for no one did the lamented Prince entertain greater regard and esteem throughout his life. For many years be passed a very large portion of his time in England, living at the palace, as the dearly valued friend of the Queen and Prince, and even when last at Coburg he paid daily visits to the Queen, and it may be supposed her Ma jesty derived much consolation from these oonversations with one who had so intimately known her beloved hus band. An attack of paralysis upon the 6th warned has friends that the separation, for which his rapidly increasing weakness had prepared them, was at hand, and at 3 o'clock iu the morning of the 9th inst. he sank to rest. His loss will be deeply mourned by the Queen, and will, wo fear, add to her sorrow and affliction. Her ajesty had, doubt less, looked forward with satisfaction to seeing him again on her approaching visit to Coburg.— Tines. ILLNESS OF MAJOR POWYS RECIL—We (Leicester shire lifercurs) regret to announce the serious illness of Major Powys Heck. On Sunday last, be visited Leicester for the purpose of attending a service which was to be held in St. Martin's Church, on behalf of the funds of the Infirmary. He walked from his residence at Stoughton to Leicester and back, and the result of the exertion (the distance being about three miles each way) as well as the sultry atmoaphere and the fatigue consequently induced, was that he became suddenly indisposed. Dr. Shaw and Mr. Benfield were summoned to attend upon the major, who during the last few days has been in a precarious state. Lord and Lady Howe, we believe, have also been in attendance, the latter constantly and the former frequently. The report of the major's health yesterday (Friday) was extremely unfavourable. CRYSTAL PALACE.—Mr. Thalberg will give his farewell recital this day, and play five of his mut popular compositions. Mdlle.

The line from Woolwich to Crams Hill, near the Greenwich Observatory, ia abandoned until next session. AN INFURIATED COW. - Yesterday, a short time after two o'clock, an infuriated now belonging to a butcher named Nash, in Three Colt-street, Limehouse, wee released from a stable in Denmark-streek ltatcliff-highway, and ran wildly through the streets. After knocking down and injuring several persons a police constable named Beer, No. 106 K, made an attempt to atop the animal in Broad street, Ratcliff. The cow made a rush at him, and one of its hams pierced his skull. He was raised from the ground in an apparently lifeless state and conveyed to the London Hospital. He has received such fearful injuries that it is not expected be will live more than • few boors. The animal pursued its 1361.1 career in the streets of Medved', Ratcliff, Mile-end Old-town, and Bethnal-green for upwards of an hour. Various attempts were made to secure it but without success. It was eventually driven into the Regent's canal, when a poll-axe was obtained and the animal was killed, the carcase being hauled out of the canal with ropes. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION PRIZE KEETLNO. The excitement which marked the proceedings of the emaciation on Thursday was destined, as it really de. served, to be of u temporary • character as the occasion which had given rise to it, and the busi•em of yeeterday was carried on with as great a regularity as if nothing what. ever had occurred to mar the general arrangements. The question of the value of disc marking as being so far sups. rior to the old system of flag marking, had received so mi. venal a declaration in its favour at the meeting of the volunteers in front of the council tent on Thursday, that any doubt, which had bey previously entertained were then set at rest, and the rnly &log which remained for coast. aeration was how that system could be carried out with safety to those who were engaged in the respossible duty of Dot ing the scores. As was mentioned yesterday, on Lord Echo stating to the Victoria Rifle Corps that the association were in want of persons to undertake the duties of marines, consequence of the veto which had been put upon the further employment of the Guards by the order of General Hay and Colonel Steele, 15 of that corps immediately 'cam. tarred to act as markers, and they remained in the butts throughout the day. Lord Elcho, Earl Grosvenor, and the Earl of Dade also performed that duty in the butts at which disc marking was used, not only with • view of giving their sanction to the system, but to afford a certain amount of confidence to those who were engaged in recording the register of the shots that were made. Yester. day the places of Lord Elcho, Earl Grosvenor, and the Earle( Ducie were supplied by Lord Bury and Colonel Lindsay, together with some of the members of the Victoria Corps who had officiated on the previous day, and volunteers from corps. The council of the ueociatioa have not been un. mindful of these union, and in oonaideration of them they have announced that a prize of 251. will be given for compe tition, open to the members of the volunteer corps and others who have been engaged in marking during the meeting—five shots at 300 yards, to be shot for with Enfield rifles. The programme of the day consisted of • continuation of the first stage for the Queen's Prize at 600 yards, the lest stage of the House of Loots Prizes, the All-Comers Prima, the Enfield All-Comers Prizes, the Association Cup, the Saturday Review and Lord Vernoo's Prizes, the first and second series of extra prizes, the running man, and the pool and sighting targets. The day yielded no results, except to • certain extent as regarded the Queen's Prize, and with the preceding, at 600 yards terminated the contest at the first stage. The 30 highest at this stage are entitled absolutely to 30 rifles, the highest amongst that number being entitled to the silver medal of the National Rifle Amodation in addition. The next 30 beet shots in this stags of the competition, with those who obtained the 30 rifles, to contest for the Queen's Prize at 800, 900, and I,oBoyards, 5 shots at each range. The shooting for this last advanced step was most ably con. tested, the highest score of 49 being made in two instances by Private Wither, of the 2nd Faux, who ob. Mined that number without in • single instance missing the target in either of the nape of 200, 500, and 600 yank The other cue in which a similar number was obtained was Sergeant Mil. lard, of the St. George's Corp, who made 49. He com menced yesterday with a very bad light, but notwithstand ing be made three till's eye* at 600 yards, when the wind shifted, which materially disturbed previous calculatiom, but with his last shot he made a centre, scoring three make. Them tie will have to be shot off to-morrow to mew. tin who is to have the silver medal of the smock. tion, as well as the rifle. The champion badge of the St. George's Rifles has existed for three years, and ifs first representative, Mr. Edward Stewart, in 1861 carried off a rifle at this meeting, and there is • good chance of Sergeant Millard sharing • similar honour this year. W e understood that there were four who bad pined 43 marks, 11 with 42, and 26 with 40. The whole of the ties will be shot off this day. The whole of the contests for the other prizes were pro. needed with, and in regard to the shooting foe Lord Vernon's Prize, Captain Heaton, 3rd Manchester, made 6 cartons out of 21 shots at 600 yards, whilst the next highest score wee 5 out of 89 shots. Another accident occurred yesterday at cue of the butts through the splaehing of a bullet, but it was of so slight a nature u not even to require the attendance of Dr. West. macott, the surgeon. In the comae of the day an orderly arrived at the camp from the Duke of Cambridge conveying a communication to the effect that he entirely approved of the course takes by Colonel Steele yesterday in withdrawing his men from the butts. _ - Yesterday the " running deer " was withdrawn, and the " running man " was substituted for it. About 500 tickets were sold during the day, and the utmost interest was felt in this new trial of skill, which is one calculated to test the abilities of the best marksmen. The only prize to be obtained in aiming at this moving object is by making • bull's eye— that is by striking the figure within a circle five inches only in diameter ou the breast, which is a smaller space than that of the running deer, which is seven inches in diameter. Up to 4 o'clock yesterday the following bull's-eyes at this object were made: Captain Hoiden., 3rd West Yorkshire, I; Sergeant Abbeton, Cheltenham Cadet, 2 (this was obtained out of three shots) ; Captain Herbert, Coldstream Guards, 2; Sergeant Watson, Hythe School of Musketry, 1; Cap. tain Barrows, 45th Regiment, 1 ; G. G. Peterken, 45th Regiment, 1 ; Corporal Bearull, 2nd West Yorkshire, 1. The demand for ammunition on the ground his been very great during the meeting, 17,000 rounds having been die. posed of on Tuesday, 25.000 on Wednesday, 18,000 ca Thursday, and about 19,000 yesterday. Ten rounds, with 15 percussion caps, are sold for 6d., a charge much cheaper than it could be obtained at elsewhere. The ammunition is of the best quality, made expressly for volunteer firing at Woolwich Arsenal, and is supplied by the government at ' cost price. As it is the intention of the government that this ammunition shall be applied only to the legitimate put. poses of this meeting, a larger amount than 40 rounds is not allowed to be served out to any person at a time. In former years ea many u 2,000 rounds were taken by • single individual, for the purpose of being conveyed to the country, as being cheaper and of a better quality than could be obtained there. The following notice wee posited yesterday : " Ladies' Prize Fund, established by H. R.ll. the Duchem of Cambridge.—The interest only to be spent in giving annually at Wimbledon a number of small prime to Volunteers who have not won any other prize.
