SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &C. Admiralty, 26th July, 1867. The LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMIRALTY hereby give notice that the arrangements for the ADMIS SION of PERSONS, not .alr4tuly in tho Government ser vice, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, as Admiralty Pupils, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 nor more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practices thereof. The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows : Marks. Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane trigonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2,500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics Practical Shipbuilding, including laying -off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical Marino Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) French 5OO Elements of Physics and Chymistry 750 English Grammar and Composition Geography and History No candidate will bo admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first -named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. ` I'le last four subjects, although counting in the com petition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who !W V be selected will bo treated, while attached to the school,' in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils ; they will rtyeive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 6d. per day for six days per week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day; and in addition a sub sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the school or in the Dockyards. Six months of each year viz., from November till May, will be devoted to study at the School, and 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 study; and they roust rely on their own worth as educated naval ttrchitects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is ono shipwright and one 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 I st of Sep t ember. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place ou the 23d September and three following days. By command of their Lordships, HENRY GORDON LENNOX.

TIMES.—" A leap in the dark" may be occa sionally a necessity in politics, but it is hard that w e should find it so in war. Y e t we rea lly do not know what better description to give of that Abyssinian campaign for which, as our military in telligence informs us, " p re p arat i ons are now fairly begun." We are going to throw a little army upon a point on the east coast of Af r i ca , thenca to march by unknown roads into an unknown country, against a barbarous and, possibl y, i nac cessible Sovereign. Taken altogether, Abyssinia is perhaps, the m a r t out-of-the-way region of the ' earth fora regular campaign. Not that it is very far off, or, as tar its shores are concerned, unapproachable, but there es is hardly a spot on the habitable globe of which know less than we do of its interior . Of course there are maps of the country, but Tracksthev serve of on y to render the darkness visible.with hm carefully ing laid clown, and marked at intervals xv , “ som ll ew somewhat indefinite specifications of " wells" and age d s. ' A " great forest abounding in elephants v ' ' ' " country producing frankincense and myrrh," are an a notable features in the chart, as are also a point where a certain river is lost in the sand and another designated as the probable source is urce of the Blue Nile. Beyond these districts—that to say, on the south-western frontier o f Ki ng Theo dore's dominions—we pass on throu g h a "country inhabited by pagan negroes" to th e Mountains of the Moon, a spur of which mysterious ran g e seems actually to enter the Abyssi n i an kingdom. The "preparations" now ann ounce d f rom Woo wich are excellently adapted to the occasion. We are making ready for a battle, not against man, but against nature. The object is to send out not merely artil lery, but portable artillery—guns which can be carried on mules' backs, or possibly on men's shoul ders, over hills and through passes where no carriage could move. The contrast between the implements and the service in this case is most extraordinary. We are actually building miniature cannon and miniature carriages of polished steel for work in an African desert. These weapons, hardly bigger than children's toys, and we!ghing no more than the lug gage allowed to a first-class passenger on a railway, will nevertheless throw a projectile of 71b., being thus more effective than the cumbrous field pieces of sixty years since. It has been discovered that they will ride best on a mule at right angles to his back, instead of in a parallel line, and so new-fashioned pack saddles are to be manufactured accordingly. The troops will carry their own arms, but in some way or other there must be carried for them food and drink, as it appears to be quite uncertain whe the water can be had on the march or not. Having said this much, however, we have said nearly all in the way of warning. So far as we can judge, there will be little fighting to do, nor do we know that the climate is dangerous or the population hostile. King Theodore by the latest intelligence can scarcely hold his own against his rebellious subjects, and there is no reason why any class of these sub jects should regard us as enemies. We shall not be exposed to the fanatical hatred of a whole people as in China and Japan. An Abyssinian war ought not, in short, to be so difficult or so deadly as an Ashantee war, and yet we have managed Ashantee wars more than once. The great obstacle in the matter is its mystery. We shall be marching into a region without any means of conjecturing what we may find. It is understood that there are mountains in the way ; indeed, the maps tell us that ; and we are making preparations for warfare in passes and de files. But beyond that the campaign will be equi valent to au exploring expedition conducted on an irresistible scale. Perhaps when we get across the mountains we may find the difficulties of the coun try disappear, and at any rate, if we turn the season to good account, as now seems probable, we shall have an opportunity of making the discovery at our leisure. The scene of action lies apparently in a small compass, for King Theodore's dominions are not very extensive, and the whole seaboard is at our command. Where more than one mission has gone, it is certain that an army can go if properly provi sioned, and for the rest the army can auwser foritself. Nothing can In easier—we alight almoht say more PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. common-place—•than the despatch of an expedition from India to the Red Sea. We have sent an In dian army to Egypt before now, and we sent one to Persia only tea years ago. These Indian troops, too, are inured to warfare in the wil lost and most desolate regions. If at.y r:aders interested in this question will but turn to the descriptions of Bhootan scenery in the narratives of the late war, they will think it impossible that any district in Abyssinia can be more rugged, inaccessible, or dangerous. Then the little war on the North-Western frontier, only finished the other day, was fought under the eatest difficulties of ground, and against an enemy far more formidable than any we can anticipate in Abyssinia. In fact, aft er sacking an Emperor's palace in Tartary and establ;shine.. British gar risons in Japan, we can hardly regard any region of the earth as beyond the reach of our soldiers. There is no occasion, therefore, to look upon the necessity before us with alarm ; but, on the other hand, it is impossible to regard it from any point of view with satisfaction. The gain must be nothing ; the loss may be considerable, and the expense will necessarily be great. An army cannot be equipped at a slight charge for such an enterprise as this. Batteries of steel guns form but a specimen' of the means required. All the appliances at the command of science and wealth will be put at the service of our troops for the contingencies of the expedition. The army will be a small one, but every man and every department of the force will be as well furnished and effective as possible. With these preparations we may hope, at the best, either to frighten King Theodore into reason, or to pene trate to the prison in which the captives are con fined and bring them out of bondage. If we can - do that, we need give ourselveslittlo trouble *bent other affairs in Abyssinia ; but if we fail we should be committed to very unpleasant obligations. It is urged, and not without reason, that we who reign in India by virtue of reputation no less than strength cannot afford to be defied by an Eastern despot. if other Sovereigns and people discover that King Theodore derides our protests and challenges our power, they may be tempted to follow his example, and it is therefore incum bent on us to dissipate such delusions by bring ing the offmlor to justice. This argument is en titled to weight, but we have only to observe that its force will be infinitely increased when we have actually embarked upon the expedition. The spec tacle of a British force retiring discomfited from Abysssinia would be far more damaging to our reputation than the fact that the enterprise had never been undertaken. Perhaps the latter danger may have been somewhat overrated, but it is im possible to exaggerate the mischief which might arise from defeat or failure. When we have begun we must needs go ou at any cost until we have ac complished something or other which can be repre sented as victory. Possibly this achievement may be considerably easier than we now suppose, but it must in any case be so costly, and is obviously so uncertain, that we can only hope King Theodore may listen prudently to the preliminary summons. He has rejected all amicable overtures with the savage caprice of an irresponsible tyrant, but he may perhaps be more amenable to a peremptory demand supported by threats of immediate and irresistible force. ~_ -' z ,e. 9 THE MURDER IN HAMPSHIRE. Yesterday morning, Mr. R. Harfield, the Deputy Coroner for Hampshire, opened an inquiry at the Duke's Head Inn, Alton, into the cause of the death of Fanny Adams, aged seven years and six months. Mr. Superintendent Everitt (acting Chief Con stuble) and Mr. Superintendent Cheyney watched the case on the part of the police. The Deputy-Coroner said they had been stun moned to inquire into the cause of the death of Fanny Adams, and he feared, from what he had heard, they would have to listen to a very melan choly tale. The jury then proceeded to view the remains of the child, and on their return to the inquest-room the accused, Frederick Baker, a solicitor's clerk, was brought iu handcuffed. The first witness called was the child Minnie Warner. She said—On Saturday we went to play in " the IL Dow" with Fanny Adams and her little sister. While we were there a young man came, and said, " Holloa!" and then he said he would give me a penny to run down with Fanny into the " Hollow." We did that. He said he would give me another halfpenny, and if we would go into Mr. Chalcraft's field he would pick some berries for us. We went, and he picked some berries for us. He then told us to go home, and he took up Fanny and carried her away. He had on a black coat, light waistcoat and trousers, and a tall hat. At the request of the Deputy. Coroner the child looked round the room to see if she could identify the man who took Fanny away, but she did not do so, the crowd staring in at the windows and loudly talking, evidently frightening her. George Adams, the father of the deceased, iden tified her remains. Harriet Adams, the wife of the last witness, proved that her daughter left home to go and play in the fields as usual. She went with her younger sister, Elizabeth Adams, and Minnie Warner, about half-past one. In the course of the afternoon Lizzie returned home, and, thinking Fanny had gone with her father, who was playing cricket on the Butts, she did not look for her till Mrs. Gardner came, and they went with Minnie to look for her ; but did not find her. They saw a man coming out of the gate of the field into the meadow, and Minnie said, " That is the man who gave us the pennies." He said, " No, it was three halfpennies I gave you, and the others a halfpenny." Mrs. Gardner took hold of him, and asked him what was his name. He said, " No matter what's my name, you'll find me at Mr. Clements' office if you want me." Mr. Clements is solicitor in Alton. The man's name is Frederick Baker, and this is the man (pointing to the accused). Mrs. Gardner asked him where the child was, and he said he had not seen her since he left them at the gate at play. They went home, and Baker went the other way towards the Basingstoke-road. She went out again, but did not find the child, and later she heard the body was found. Jane Gardner said—l live at Alton, and am a near neighbour of the parents of the deceased. On Saturday I heard the child was missing, and just after five I went with the mother in search of it. I saw the accused walking along at the top of the meadow, as if coming from " the Hollow," towards the Basingstoke-road, by a footpath at the side of the river Wey. I called to him, and he came to meet me. I asked him what he had done with the child he took away with him at half-past one, and which had not been seen since. He said, "I hav'nt seen one." I said, " What did you give those chil dren halfpence for and send them away ?" He made no answer to that. I said, " Hear comes ono of the children," and Minnie Warner came up at the mo ment. I then said to the child, " Did this gentleman give you any money to-day ?" She said, " Yes, threepence." He said, "No ; three halfpence." I said, " What did he give Lizzie, and what did he give Fanny?" Minnie Warner said, "A halfpenny." I said, " What did he do then ?" and she replied, " Told me to go home and spend it." I again said, " What did he do with Fanny ?" She said, "He took her up the Hollow' behind the high hedge in the hop-garden." The accused was standing close to me all the time. I said to Mrs. Adams, " You give him in charge to the police." He said he would go. I said, " Well, the reason I speak so is that an old man has been giving halfpence to the chil dren for no good purpose, and I thought you were of the same sort ; but if I am wrong I humbly beg your pardon." I said, "We must have your name," and he said I ant to be found at Mr. CleMents'. I then went home, and between 7 and 8 o'clock I heard some one screaming, and a cry, " The head is found !" I then went into the hop-garden, and saw the head and trunk of a child lying where the garden is approached by a gate at the top of the lane, called " the Hollow." When I first spoke to Baker he could not reply, being apparently speech less, and he walked away for perhaps a yard, when he exclaimed, " I have not seen the child !" When he left me and Mrs. Adams in the meadow he went along a path directly in front of Mrs. Porter's house. The Deputy-Coroner, addressing the accused, —ANIE W SPA FE Pk' vrA, „, h ,‘" 4, if said at the evidence seemed to - •z - :;10,40. :‘,. 44,4 having been seen near the-spot w i :r. of the child had been found, and ; . t;.-;„' ? ", person with whom the child was seektlaliva If& there was any question be wished to ask of any of the witnesses, he could do so. The accused said he had no question to ask. Ann Murritt deposed to seeing Baker twice in the afternoon of Saturday, the first time coming along the footpath towards Alton. He had on a pair of light trousers and a high hat. That was about 3 o'clock. About 5, or between that and 6, she saw him again ; he crossed the churchyard and went towards the " Hollow." Ile looked at her and her little girl very hard, and that made her notice him particularly. He kept looking rouad at them as be went up the park. Entua Smith said she heard that the child was missing. She saw a man come out of the bop garden into the lane. He leapt over the gate. Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Gardner, who came up at the time, went and met him. The witness did not know the man, nor could she identify him. He bad on light trousers and waistcoat, and a high hat. Elizabeth Warner also proved that she saw the accused in the lane about 5 o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday. He went to the top of the lane and then disappeared. Thomas Gates said he attended to Mr. Chalcraft's hop-garden. Hearing the child was missing, and had been last seen near there, he went to search, and found, first, a piece of a child's dress covered with blood, and then the head between two hop poles and the ground. About twenty yards up the garden he found a leg, and further on the trunk. It was cut open like a sheep that had been killed. The remains were all put together till a policeman came. Henry Allen deposed to finding the heart in the hop-garden about 9 o'clock on Saturday night, and next morninefonntl-nn arm- in the stubble field at the top end of the hop-garden. The arm was covered over with some hedge clipping. It was about two yards from " the Hollows " lane. He returned to the hop-garden and there found the lungs. These remains were gathered together, and given to the police. Thomas Swain proved finding. a foot of a child in a clover field next to the Hollow." After some further evidence as to finding the rest of the remains, Maurice Biddle, a clerk to Me ssrs . Clements, solicitors at Alton, stated that the ac cused was in the office about 6 o'clock, and told the witness about the women speaking to him of the child. He said it would be very awkward for him if the girl was murdered. They went over to the Swan tap for a glass of ale, and Baker then said he was going away on Monday. The " boots "at the public-house said he was going on Monday, and Baker said he would go with him. The " boots " said he could turn his hand to anything, but Baker couldn't, and Baker said, " Yes, I could turn butcher." The witness afterwards saw him at Mr. Clements, a chemist, and said, " They say you murdered the child." He replied "Never Maurice! It's a bad job for me then." They went back to the office together, and Superintendent Cheyney came and placed an officer in charge of Baker. Baker told the witness he had gin and beer in the morning. He was sometimes under the influence of liquor. Louis Leslie, M.D., said he is divisional surgeon to the police force in Alton, and had examined the parts of the body'of a child at the police station. He described them, and said the dismemberment must have taken place after death. A post mortem examination of the head showed a contused wound completely dividing the scalp. The blow must have been severe, and he was inclined to think was in flicted by a stone. Such a blow would cause im mediate insensibility, and death might follow. It was perfectly impossible to say whether any act of criminal violence had taken place. On Saturday night witness examined the person of the prisoner, there were no marks or scratches about him, but his trousers, socks, and boots, one leg particularly, were very wet. The witness spoke of that fact to him, and he said, " Unfortunately for me they arc, but that proves nothing." There was blood on both wristbands, and Superintendent Cheyney asked him how he could account for the blood, and Baker said. " I can't account for it," and, looking at his person, he added, " I don't see any cuts or scratches that would account for it." Whether the blood was human or not the witness could not say. William Walker said he found a large stone (produced) in the hop garden. There was a long hair on it and pieces of flesh. It was close to the spot where the head was found. Mr. Superintendent Cheyney said that, having heard of the murder, he went to Baker's office, he having been last seen with the child, and on telling him of the charge he said, "I know nothing about it. lam willing to go where you like." The wit ness left a constable with him, and after hearing the statement of Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Gardner took him into custody. The prisoner's clothes were pro duced, there being spots of blood on the trousers, as if they had been washed. On Monday morning witness and Superintendent Everitt went to the office of the prisoner, and in his desk they found a diary, with a memorandum under date Saturday, August 24, " Killed a young girl. It was fine and hot." That entry the prisoner admitted was in his handwriting. Evidence was then given as to the finding of two eyes, supposed to be those of the deceased. They were found in the `Vey, near the place of the murder. The Coroner then asked the accused whether ho desired to say anything, to which he replied, "No, sir, only that I am innocent." The Coroner then summed up with great care, and the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Frederick Baker, for killing and slaying Fanny Adams." The warrant was then made out for the com mittal of the prisoner to Winchester gaol. The magisterial examination will be held on Thursday. BOAT ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—Last evening Mr. Wm. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, proceeded with an inquiry at the house of Mr. Messenger, the "Rose and Crown" Tavern, Collingwood-street, Illackfriars-road, on the body of Henry Yates, a bootmakor's shopman, who was drownod by the swamping of a boat on the river Thames. Evidence having boon given, the jury returned a verdict, "That tho deceased lost his life accidentally by tho swamping of a boat in the river Thames." PICKING UP A DERELICT.—On Thurficlay an American barque, named the Cashm-ire, arrived in the har bour, having in tow a largo iron ship, which she picked up off Cape Clear. Tho Cashmere was bound from Quebec for Cardiff, and on the voyage she experienced very bad weather. When she arrived off Cape Clear she observed an apparently abandoned ship lying to the south. The Cashmere hove to, and after a while came up to the dere lict. She was thoroughly searched, but no man living was seen on board, and the vessel presented the appearance of having gone through a great deal of bad weather. There was not a vestige of rigging standing, and her decks worn swept clear of every moveable article. Her hull, however, did not appear iu the least damaged, though she had a cargo—coal and iron —better calculated to cause injury than perhaps any other. She is, however, a very strong built vessel, which accounts for her hull being so free from damage. Her name is the Czar, and she belongs to Glasgow, from which port she was bound to Quebec. There are no tidings of her crew, but it is hoped they were picked up by some passing vessel. The derelict at present lies at Passage.—Cork Examiner. _ .
