Some particulars appeared in the papers of 3 es terday of a murder, unparalleled for its brutality, committed in the quiet marl: et 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 crowned by a hop-garden of considerable 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 disposel 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 no thin g more was heard of the deceased. The child, not coming 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 incredi ble, the man Gates took the head to the father's cottage. All doubts were then set at rest, the poor mother identifying the head as that of her daughter, and immediately falling into hysterics, from which she has scarcely since recovered. The police were at once communicated with, and search was made fcr the remaining portions of the body. The larger portion of the population of the town having speedily become acquainted with the barbarous fate of the child scoured the hop ground and adjoining fields to discover, if possible, the body of the deemed. Within about twenty yards east of the hedge, and between growing hops, were found a leg and thigh, with a stocking and boot on, and near the same spot the right arm and hand, severed from the elbow, were discovered. A little further to the right, the left hand, severed from the wrist, was found, and some distance below were the mutilated remains of the trunk. The other foot, which was the left, was picked up by a young man named Henry Allen in a field adjoining the hop plantation, where it had evidently been thrown with suffi cient force to carry it over two high hedges and an intervening lane. The left arm was also picked up in this field. Horrible to relate the eyes had been gouged out with almost scientific skill. At this time the intestines and heart were missing, but on the following (Sunday) morning further search was made, when both these portions were discovered, the former not far from the spot where the trunk had been found, and the heart in an adjoining field where it had been thrown. The body displayed several fearful stabs and gashes, the ribs being severely punctured, the calves of the legs and thighs had been completely ripped up, and the intestines entirely removed, leaving the mere frame of the body only. The right ear was picked up in a corner of the' hop-ground by itself. No traces of the eyes have as yet been discovered, and the right breast is also missing. In consequence of the disjointed and mutilated condition of the whole of the body, it is impossible for the medical gen tlemen to determine whether the poor child had been violated. An ineffectual attempt appears to have been made to cut off the left arm from the shoulder. The deceased child was the fourth of a family of six children, and was a tall, comely, and intelligent girl. She bore the appearance of being several years in advance of her age, and was of a lively and cheerful disposition. The clothes worn by the unfortunate child were found scattered about the plantation. They were 'much torn. The dis severed remains were placed in a truck and conveyed to the police-station, where they at present lie, awaiting the coroner's inquest. In the meantime, Superintendent Cheyney obtained a description of the man in whose company the ill-fated girl was last seen, and, aided by his local knowledge, he concluded that the person described exactly answered to a young man named Frederick Baker, whom he knew as in the employ of Messrs. Clements, solicitors, of the town. Ile thereupon proceeded to the office of Messrs. Clements about nine o'clock in the evening, and saw the accused sitting appa rently engaged in his ordinary avocation. Super intendent Cheyney then inquired if he had heard of the murder, to which the accused replied " Yes ; and they say it is me, don't they ?" Leaving Baker in charge of a police-constable, for the purpose of making further inquiries, the superintendent shortly afterwards ascertained that the prisoner was the man who had given some coppers to the children, as pre viously alluded to, and on returning to the office, accompanied by one of the children, he asked him if the statements were true. He admitted the fact, but said he was innocent of the crime of murder. He was identified by the chili, and the superin tendent removed him to the police-station, on sus picion of being the murderer. The melancholy news had rapidly spread, and an immense concourse assembled in the Iligh-street outside the office, whose menacing attitude and threatening language necessitated recourse to a stratagem on the part of the superintendent to effect the prisoner's removal. lie was accordingly taken through the back pre mises, and safely lodged in a cell at the station. Here he was closely searched, and in order that no link in the chain of evidence might be missing, Mr. Cheyney caused him to be stripped. This was done, and all his garments taken from him. The light tweed trousers were marked with blood. On both the legs there were signs of very recent washing, and they were still quite damp. The socks wore by the prisoner were wet, the result evidently of a recent washing. The front of the waistcoat was splashed with blood, and the wristbands of the shirt were saturated with blood. The prisoner's boots were sodden with wet, leading to the supposition th it ho had washed them in the rivulet near the scene of the murder. In his pockets were found the sum of £1 Gs. 41. in money, and two pen knives, one of which contained three blades and the other two. Neither of these appeared to be of sufficient strength for the committal of the atrocious crime, and no sign of blood could be discovered on them. The prisoner was asked if he could account for the state of his clothing, and he answered that he could not; but as to his trousers legs he had, when out, a habit of stepping into the water. It appears that on the day of the murder the ei§oneK AVANA CIGAR S. 11 To Sell Cigars of known foreign. brands would be a great boon to the Licensed 'Victuallers. E. G.

New Underground TelerapTe S; stem. The prisoner, since his confinement at the station, has not in any way referred to the dreadful deed with which he is accused, but has maintained the closest reticence. On Sunday the greatest excite ment prevailed in the town, and thousands of per sons visited 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 hot." The prisoner is a native of Guild ford, and for some years was in the office of Messrs. Smallpeice, 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 Ins not been found. A large number of scientific and other gentle. men connected with telegraphy throughout Europe assembled on Tuesday last at the residence of Mr. Donald Nicoll, Oaklands-hall, Kilburn, •for the purpose of witnessing a setiei of experiments, with an entirely novel species of underground electric telegraph, which, whether in point of cheapness of construction as well as efficiency of ser i ice, claims to be superior to any system of electric telegraph c )rn mn n ication yet invented. 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 other 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 carbonised by the heat of the compound, and each wire having been thus sepa rately treated is then embedded in the trough or semi-tube referred 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 epure Trinidad bitu men, and withl6-gange copper wires in zinc troughs the system can be laid and completed for 20 per cent. le=s 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 all 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 IRELAND. 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 ball 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 London 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 can 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 machine (either lever or screw) and number of in dentations in the plate or matrix forced upon the wires can be increased as required ; indeed so easily worked and understood is this process that it was stated that boys were chiefly employed in making the specimens laid down. In the course of various remarks and explanations offered by Mr. Nicoll and his friends other advantages were pointed out. Amongst these were, that a larger number 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 inequality of surface. Sections 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 the 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 b 3 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 in!roduced 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 42,5 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 coats 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 chara c t er of the material of insulation, it will speedily receive extensive if not general adoption.— Observer. DUBLIN, Aug. 26. The Queen's County Agricultural Society held its fifth annual show at Maryborough on Saturday. It was one of the best exhibitions which the society has yet had, the entries being more than usually nume rous, and the quality of the stock very good. The chief feature was the collection of sheep, to which all the best breeders in the county contributed. In a field adjoining the grounds in which the cattle show was held, the Queen's County Horticultural Association held its annual display of flowers and fruits. The co-operation of the two societies, the one devoted to pursuits of substantial utility, the other to culture of a refined order, but each in its way promoting the social interests of different classes, secured a combination of attractions which drew together a large assemblage of the local gentry. The friendly alliance was cemented by a public dinner in the evening, at which both associations were represented. The Right Hon. J. W. Fitz pa:rick, M.P., occupied the chair. Mr. Monsell, M.P., has done good service in call ing attention to the causes which operate against the interests of the Irish butter trade in the English market. The subject is engaging the attention of local bodies in Cork and Limerick, who urge the necessity of taking immediate measures to retrieve the character of Irish butter, which now suffers in competition with French, owing chiefly to the greater care bestowed upon the making-up and packing of the latter. At a meeting of the Lime rick Farmers' Club on Saturday, Mr. Harris gave an account of a recent visit to English markets, with the object of acquiring correct, information. lie found that buyers complained that Irish butter is fraudulently made up, that the tare is irregular, that the butter is too strongly pickled, and is packed so carelessly that its taste is deteriorated by the flavour of the casks, and loss occasioned by hav ing to scrape it from the sides of the firkins. On the other hand, French butter, though the ma terial is by no means so good, commands a better price, and is coming more extensively into favour because it is not so highly salted. It is made up neatly in 561 b. casks, with cloths to protect it from the influence of the wood. He spoke from expe rience of the injurious effect upon the Irish trade. He found that nearly every store in Manchester was filled with French butter. In Rochdale he could make no sales—the French had obtained a start of him. After failing in Lancashire, he went to Lon don, but there, too, ho failed, although he offered the butter at a reduced rate. With respect to the charge of fraudulent making up, he knew an in stance of 111 b. of salt being found at the bottom of a firkin, but he felt bound to add that the far mers generally did not deal in this dishonest way. The chairman mentioned the case of a butter maker in Cork who told him that 13 a firkin paid him better than £3 Bs. paid others, because his firkin contained 91b more of salt. These are start ling facts, which ought to make an impression on the farmers. To require cleanliness and honesty is to impose upon many of them conditions against which their nature revolts, but they are indispens able to success in this important branch of Irish trade, and it is to be hoped that the experience of bitter disappointments in the exports to England will oblige them to submit. Such unprofitable tours as that of Mr. llarris will teach a necessary lesson to the farmers, and the evil will cure itself in time, but the danger is that before the Irish makers can be persuaded to change their habits the French will have so fortified their position in the markets by continued improvements that they can not be dislolged. Every effort must be used to effect an immediate reform and reinstate Irish produce in the place which its superior quality, if there were no serious drawbacks, would be sure to command. Lord and Lady Fitzwilliam set an excellent .ex ample to other pro prie n to d rs re i s n idi l u r g el f a o u r d so b m y e tvisitingm eui their estates annually a the midst of their tenantry. Their presence gives confidence and pleasure to the people, who are grateful for the attention bestowed upon them, and the fact that their landlord can make personal in quiries respecting any causes of complaint, and judge for himself as to the condition of the farms awl the improvements which may be required, cannot fail to have a beneficial effect. Coollatin-park, at which time family are now staying, is a centre of gaiety and rejoicing in honour of tle marriage of Lord Milton. Among the entertainments which have been given to celebrate the event not the least interesting was on Friday, when 600 children belonging to the several schools on the estate were hospitably received in the park, and the most liberal arrangements made for their enjoyment. A compliment is about to be paid to Mr. Justice O'llagan in Belfast, his native town, which must be peculiarly gratifying, as it indicates a generous spirit in political opponents. It is proposed to place in the Town-hall a bust of the learned Judge, which has been executed by Mr. Shakespeare Wood.

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 millers finding employment for their mills, which hare been quiet for some week's past. ROMSEY.—Great progress has been 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 the produce will fall short of an average crop by nu, Est a third. The barley crop is one of better promise. 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. MELTHA3I.—Not withstanding 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 has 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. The potato disease is committing sad ravages. SOUTHAMPTON.—The wheat is all cut and carried in this neighbourhood, 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.- I Vever 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. EDMUNDS.—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 change 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 they " 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 hat, and some money. He should merely state certain facts connected with the death of the deceased, and should then ask the Bench to remand the prisoners. On Thursday last he apprehended the prisoners on a warrant. When the mm 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 the night in question ; 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 he 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 Wa s l y i ng, he saw t h e th ree priso ners with him ; and h e, and not the pr i soners , was the first person to give the alarm. He had also other evidence against the prisoners, and 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. He will also allege that a third man who was pre sent at the murder gave the deceased a second blow before the murdered man fell. The murderers were 20 minutes with their expiring Victim before they were disturbed. The deceased had many ;years officiated as a game watcher, and it is surmised that robbery was not the only object that induced the unfortunate man's murderers to slay him. The police made a searching examination on Saturday of the place where the murder was committed. In spector Smith found a shirt, a wideawake 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 in 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 Becchwood. 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 hmiesupta.rt Welch transaction.saasi e t t Dprisoned f or t wo years f or ion, 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-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 Mljesty'6 Regiments of the Line, one of which will lie a Battalion of the 2d Q.wen's Own, and eight regiments of Native Punjaubee Infantry. The cavalry will be composed of about six regiments of Indian irregular troops, while the artillery will include, besides mountain guns, two batteries- of Royal Artillery. It is reported that his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt has been requested to provide 5,000 camels for the necessary transport of the troops, and Government is also taking measures for the collection of trules suita t b h l e e for thes:r;n r i e c a eof e t g h i. the expedition. We hear that ments are not as yet furnished with the Snider rifle. We trust this opportunity will not be lost for the practical trial of our new weapon. It is likely that Mr. Clements R. Markham, F.R.G.S., will accompany the expedition in a civil capacity.
