Six months of each year, viz., from November till May, will be devoted to study at the School, a:id the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of btudy ; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is ono shipwright and ono engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September.

Clements at one o'clock, to have returned again at four, and it is stated that between that hour and the time of his apprehension be was in and out the office several times. The prisoner, since his confinement at the station, has not in any way referred to the dreadful deed with which he is riccused, but has maintained the closest reticence. On Sunday the greatest excite ment prevailed in the town, and thousands of per , sons vi.ited the site of the harrowing tragedy, where pools of the life-blood of the innocent child were painfully visible. The morbid feeling animating the public was conspicuously developed by the denuda tion of the hops and the cutting off pieces of the plants and hedges growing in the immediate vicinity. The prisoner was taken yesterday before E. Knight, Esq., one of the county magistrates, and at the request of Superintendent Cheyney was re manded until after the coroner's investigation, which will probably take place on Wednesday. In searching the prisoner's desk at the office yes terday a well-kept diary, in the prisoner's hand writing, was discovered under the date " Saturday, August 24 :" the following entry was written in a bold and unfaltering hand :—" Killed a young girl; fine and bot." The prisoner is a native of Guild ford, and for some years was in the office of Messrs. Small peice, the eminent solicitors of that town. He was afterwards employed by Mr. P. W. Lovett, solicitors of the same place, and during his period of _service was found to be guilty of embezzlement. He then absconded from the town, but on the in tervention of his father, a respectable master tailor, who paid the amount of his defalcations, he escaped prosecution. The prisoner subsequently obtained an engagement with Messrs. Clements, of Alton, with whom he has been for about twelve months. The prisoner is a thin spare man, about twenty eight years of age, and possesses a countenance of much mildness and benignity. He bears but an in different character in the town, and it is related that a fortnight ago he accosted a lady in a secluded pathway, in Alton, and made improper overtures to her. These she resisted, and ran away. The prisoner, not succeeding in overtaking her, pelted her with stones. He has always been looked upon as a man of great animal passions. Although every search has been made for the weapon with which the crime was committed, it has not been found. Some particulars appeared in the papers of yes terday of a murder, unparalleled for its brutality, committed in the quiet market town of Alton, in Hants, on Saturday evening. The facts which have already transpired show that, about half-past one o'clock on the afternoon mentioned, a little girl named Fanny Adams, eight years of age, left her home near the church, in company with a younger sister and a playmate named Minnie Warner, for the purpose of playing in the meadow adjoining Amery Farm, which is situated a few yards distant from the home of the deceased. The meadow is crowne l by a hop-garden of consiLralile extent, approached by a grassy and sequestered lane, from the entrance of which a charming view of the quiet old town is obtained. It was in the hop-ground- referred to that the crime, of which full details have now come to hand, was committed. It appears that at two o'clock the children, having partaken of dinner, were engaged in play near the entrance to the se cluded lane, when a man, described as wearing a black coat, with light vest and trousers, and who was sitting on the gate, beckoned Fanny Adams, the unfortunate deceased, towards him. All the children approached, and singling out the-deceased, he offered her a halfpenny to accompany him for a walk in the adjacent hop-garden. Seeing that the other children were disposed to follow he distributed amongst them three halfpennies, telling them to run away and buy some sweets. They accordingly did so, and, as they were leaving, saw that the man had taken hold of the girl's hand and was leading her up the lane. They also saw that the poor child began to cry, and heard the man say these words : " Don't cry, my dear ; keep quiet, and if you will come up into the hop-garden I will give you some more money." From this time until seven o'clock in the evening nothing more was heard of the deceased. The child, not coining home to tea, her mother became alarmed at her absence, and made inquiries, but nothing was elicited beyond the statement of her companions, that she had been seen going up the lane with a strange man. Between seven and eight o'clock the same evening a labourer named Thomas Gates, returning from work, had occasion to cross the hop-ground, when he was horrified at beholding the dissevered head of a child resting upon two hop-poles placed at the foot of the hedge, and lying horizontally on the ground. The man took up the head and ran with it to the row of cottages at the foot of the meadow, in one of which the parents of the unfortunate child reside. The neighbours, who were standing in groups talking about the missing child, on seeing the head imme diately declared it to be that of Fanny Adams. With a coolness which would seem almost increli- DUBLIN, Aug. 26. ble, the man Gates took the head to the father's The Queen's County Agricultural Society held its cottage.

OLD IRISH WHISKY, BELFAST, _ _ Is regularly supplied to the Souse of Lords. 211 E iLIR, PEST. NORTH CORNWALL.--Another week of fine har vest weather is gone, aid most of the corn in North Cornwall is off its legs, and, so far as the wheat is concerned, secured in arish mows, much to the far mers' satisfaction. The condition •of corn is not to be surpassed. Already the steam-thrashing machine is at work, and we may expect soon to see the minus finding employment for their mills, which have been quiet for some weeks past. ROMSEY.—Great progress has beep made in har vest work during the last fortnight. The wheat in this district has been nearly all got in, but the com plaint of a light yield is uniform, and there is no doubt but that some blighting influence has affected the whole district, and .that thi produce will fall short of an average crop by alast a third. The barley-crop is one of better A.cmise. The fre quent rains have produced a rare luxuriance in the growing crops, the roots never showing better, and the supply of after-grass is abundant. MEZT - llA3l.—Notwithstanding the rather un settled aspect of the weather, and the occasional falling of a copious shower now and again, the grain crops generally appear to be progressing favourably towards maturity. FROME.—The return of fine, warm weather ha 3 done a great deal to revive the hopes of good crops. A good deal of wheat has been harvested on the early lands, and the crop is a tolerably fair one. There cannot, however, be an average yield under the most favourable circumstances. Th 6 potato disease is committing sad ravages. SOUTHAMPTON. —The wheat is all cut and carried in this neighbourhocd, and a great proportion of the barley as well. We have heard of blight in some instances, but beyond this a good general yield may be expected. The root crops, as a whole, never looked better. GLOUCESTERSIIIRE.—Never has there been more glorious harvest weather than has blest the country during the last week. With the exception of occasional refreshing showers, we have had blazing sunshine every day, whil3 the temperature at night has been higher than the summer average. The consequence is a rapid ripening of every kind of grain, all, as it were, coming together, and in the wheat, barley, and oat-fields, in every direction the sickle and scythe are busy. Should the remainder of the month be as favourable as the last week, the yield and the quality will be greater and superior to late expectation. The mangold, swede, turnip, and carrot crops are making rapid progress, and give every reasonable indication of a good return. The pasturages are looking unusually luxuriant, and cattle of every description are doing remark ably well. BURY ST. EDJIUNDS. — This neighbourhood has the promise of an abundant harvest, and it is being fast gathered, the weather being very propitious. Many of the labourers, however, have suffered greatly from the excessive heat, and an excellent restorative and support was found by administering weak brandy and water. Several considerate em ployers sent into the field large quantities of tea to be drunk instead of beer. MARCIL—ShouId the weather still hold fine for a few weeks a very great At.nga-will - take place. In this locality the harvest has become quite general. Some farmers are ready to commence carting. The Murder near Luton. Yesterday William Worsley, aged 42 ; Levi Welch, aged 40; and James Day, aged 22, were placed at the bar of the Luton Police-court, before Colonel Ames and the Rev. Mr. Adey, on the charge that th3y " did, on the night of the 3d August, wil fully murder William Bradbury, in the town of Luton." Superintendent Samuel Pope was sworn, and said that he had a second charge to prefer against the three prisoners ; it was that they did, on the night in question, steal from the dying man one pair of trousers, two shirts, a lint, and some money. Ile should merely state certain facts connected with the death of the deceased, and should then ask the Bench to remand the prisoners. Oa Thursday last he apprehended the prisoners on a warrant. When the man was murdered the first persons seen with him were the three prisoners. They were present at the inquest, and then made a statement, which he should be able to prove was false. They said that they left the Royal Oak public-house at Round green, at 12, o'clock on th e n i g h t i n ques ti o n ; and that within three minutes afterwards they found the deceased lying in the roadway. They also stated that they were the first to give any alarm. Now be would be able to produce a witness who would prove that he left Luton at 12 o'clock on that night. It would take a man 20 minutes to walk from Luton to the spot where the deceased was found; and when this witness reached that part of the roadway where Bradbury was lying, he saw the three priso ners with him ; and h e, an d not th e p r i s oners, was the first person to g i ve the a l arm . He had also o ther evidence agai ns t t h e pr i soners , an d was get ting more ; but he thought that it would be well not to go into the case that day. The Chairman said that for obvious reasons it ought not to be gone into. The Bench remanded the prisoners. It is said that a witness will shortly be called by the Crown who will allege that he was present when the murder was committed, and that he stood by and saw it done. He will, it is asserted, name the first man who struck the deceased a blow on the back of the head, as he was walking along the road. Ile will also allege that a third man who was pre sent at thee murdered gavethe deceased a second blow before fell. The murderers were 20 h minutest murder with theirman expiring victim before they were disturbed.

The of the place where the murder was committed. In spector Smith found a shirt, a xvideawake hat, and a bit of black ribbon " tucked into" a hedge 150 yards from the spot. A further search of the ad joining fields and hedges was then made. In another hedge a hundred yards from where the pool of blood iu the roadway was the superintendent discovered a pair of trousers and a waistcoat. All the articles of clothing were new, and they had the shop marks on them. They were just in the same state as when the deceased bought them on the night he was mur dered. Three years ago, one of the accused, Levi Welch, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. One night he was out poaching with four other men in the grounds of Sir Thomas Seabright at Beceliwood. Two gamekeepers came upon them, and Welch fired his gun. He narrowly missed one of the keepers, whose dog that was walking in front was shot dead. After the encounter both the keepers were found lying insensible on the grass. One of them was wounded by a blow on the head, and his life was despaired of for some weeks. The other had received such a shock to his system that he got into bad health and died from the excite ment.

The principle upon which this telegraph system is constructed consists of its being made in sections,of , any length, and at any angle, and laid down in shallow or deep trenches at option, just as a line of a railway may be laid, but without the slightest necessity for " chairs," bolts, rivets, &c. The system is of exceedingly simple construction, and consists of a zinc or o her metallic semi -tube, or species of gutter, in which any number of electric wires can be laid in accordance with size. ,In the process of manufacturing the conductors the wires receive first a substantial coating of inorganised or insulatory substance, then a coating of fibre, which is almost completely carbonisel by the heat of the compound, and each wire having been thus sepa rately treated is then embedded in the trough or semi-tube referre I to, of either 8, 11, or 22 feet in length, and embedded in more of the insulating compound. This insulating material does not de compose like gutta percha, which is known to perish quickly. It consists mainly of cpure Trinidad bitu men, and withl6-gauge copper wires in zinc troughs the system can be laid and completed for 20 ner cent. less than the present cost of the unsightly overhead wires, either on poles or housetops ; and if 22 feet sections be used, two men, one for pour ing in the molten bitumen at points of junction, and one for fixing the wires, can easily lay over one mile of sections per day, at about 25 per cent. less than the cost of overhead wires either on poles or housetops. As regards underground gutta percha and india rubber-covered wires sll that is effected. by them is realised by this system at a cost of about 50 per cent. less. It is also a feature that, inasmuch as the bitumen containing the wires, if placed 15 or 20 inches below the surface, the conductors incur no liability of fracture, and therefore the cost for main tenance is of the most trivial character—a jet of flame at any of the junctions enabling the operator to repair or remove any damaged sections. The experiments conducted upon this occasion were of a very comprehensive character. The tele graph had been laid over the extensive grounds, with points of communication between the hall of the house, the lodge, and also the bailiff's cottage at the other end of the property, and close to the Edgware-road station of the North Loudon Rail way, and various messages and despatches were answered with the most surprising rapidity and accuracy, the insulation being frequently tested by the galvanometer. A large portion of the trench in which the wires were laid was left open to show the junction of the sections, and the ease with which any inequality of surface or angle eau be dealt with. The process of joining the wires at the junctions of the section was then exhibited, and is exceedingly simple, being a hand machine, by which at one blow almost any number of wires can be joined. The size or power of the pressing Imachine (either lever or screw) and number of in dentations in the plate or matrix forcad upon the wires can be increased as required; indeed so eadly worked and understood is this process that it was stated that boys were chiefly employed in making the specimens laid down. In the coarse of various remarks and explanations offered by Mr. Nicoll and his flien Is other advantages were point al out. Amongst these were, that a larger num'ier of wires can be laid upon any other system at much less cost, and the wires may be turned at any angle and over any height or inoroaiity of nuifacc. antollll containing any number of wires insulated by this method can be packed and sent to any part of the world, and fixed by unskilled labour at the needful depth beneath the surface of sand or soil, or they may be embodied in the silt or mud of sea or river shore, For crossing open country or running by the sides of common roads thy trenches may be formed by an ordinary sub-soil plough, and after the trenches are laid and the sections filled in (ex cept to those possessing a key thereto), all traces of the line of route will be speedily effaced. The sec tions, when beneath the surface, will bear great weight, support extreme degrees of heat and cold, and any number of wires may be laid with ease be tween a double line of rails or down an ordinary sewer. In crowded streets traffic need not be de layed or interrupted, as each boss or point of junc tion is in fact a testing chamber of continuity of elec tricity, and wires can thus be easily tested and re paired. Sections can be made in any length conve nient for transport in ordinary conveyances, and it had been calculated that 20 miles of sections, con taining 50 or more wires, may be laid in a day by 30 labourers. Thus it was argued that the Eng lish Government could quickly lay wires from Calais overland direct to India, and possibly suffi ciently compensate those nations granting conces sions for passage through their territories by allotting a proportionate and free use of some of the wires. The system can form part of and gradually be introduced into any other system now in use, and it is obvious that the number of wires may be almost indefinitely increased, economy being naturally promoted by a large num ber of wires being laid in one operation, but it is important to know that the cost of each wire will ordinarily average not more than £5 per mile ; and as the insulating material is indestructible, and has been tested as resisting even the attacks of the white ant of India, the usual heavy costs for main tenance and repair will be avoided. It was stated that the directors of the Isle of Wight and some other railways had given orders for laying this system of telegraph along their lines, and a general opinion was expressed that from its vast reduction of cost, facility for laying, and indestructible character of the material of insulation, it will speedily receive extensive if not general adoption.—Observer. The Abyssinian Expedition. This expedition, which is now decided upon, is to take place as soon as the necessary transports reach India. The command will be assumed by Sir William C. E. Napier, Vice 7 President of the Council of Military Education, who was a divisional general in the last war in China, under Sic Hope Grant. The forces employed will comprise all branches of the service. The infantry will consist most probably of two of her M ijosty's itegitnents of the Line, one of rhich will be a Battalion of the 21 Qieen's Own, and eight regiments of Native Punjaubee Infantry. The cavalry will be c)mposed of about six regiments of Indian irregular troops, while the artillery will include, besides mountain guns, two batteries of Royal Artillery. it is reported tlmthistollpigrohvniesse the Viceroy of Egypt has been requested troops, and Government 5,000 camels for the necessarytaktirnagnslreasrturoefs f t o h r is also e the collection of mules suitable for the service of the e n x i e p n e t d s i t ar o e n . o We trust this opportunity will y h e e t ar f utrhnaithtehde E e. n ot be lost for the thewith u r p n Snider rrei gi- It is likely that Mr. C emen pon' ts R Markham, pedition in a civil not W as e pFr.aitc.tGic.asl„trwiaillloafeoeuomrnpeatuvywtethae ex I capacity.
