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 • l,OOO Practical Shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical Marine Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) 2,500 French 5OO Elements of Physics and Chymistry 750 English Grammar and Composition Geography and History _ 750 Nu Candidate will be 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. The last four subjects, although counting in the com petition, will not be-considered obligatory. The candidates who inc,y be selected will bo treated, while attached to the school, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will receive 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.

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 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 one 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 Ist of September.

TIMES.-" A leap in the dark" may be occa sionally a necessity in politics, but it is hard that we should find it so in war. Yet we re ally do not know what better description t o g ive of that Abyssinian campaign for "preparationswhich,our military ns in telligence informs us , a r e now fairly begun." We are going t o t h row a little army upon a point on the east coast of Africa, thence to march by unknown roads into an unknown country, against a barbarous and, possibly, Taken altogether, Abyssinia i naccess i ble Sovereign. is', perhaps, the most out-of-the-way region of t he earth for a regular campaign. Not that it is ver y far b off 1 „ )l or, as far as its shores are concerned, una pproachable , but there is hardly a spot on the habita l t p le ea l e ob o a e f o e f which we know lees than we do of its interior . g course there are maps of the country, but the y serve only to render the darkness visible. Tr acks of enterpris ing travellers , ancient and mo dern , am carefully laid down, and marked at intervals with ,4 thsomewhat indefinite specifications of " wells " villages." e A " great forest abounding i n e l a h n p ants," and a " country producing frankincense and myrrh," are notable features in the chart, as are als o a point where a certain river is lost in the sand and another designated as the proba ble source of the Blue Nile. Beyond these di s tricts — that s to King say, on the south-western frontier ofTheo dore's dominions—we pass on throughia " country inhabited by pagan negroes" t o the Mo untains of the Moon, a spur of which mysteriousia range se e ms i actually to enter the Abyssinian k "preparations" now an nounce d from Woolwich lh aree excellently adapted to th e occasion. e are making ready for a battle, no t aga i ns t man, but against nature. The object is to send out not merely artil lery, but portable artillery —guns which can be carried on mul es ' b ac k s , or poss ibl y 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. IVe 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 weighing 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- Eut beyond that the eanipaiga 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 anwser for itself. Nothing can be easier—we might almost say more common-place—than the d:spatch 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 ten years ago. These Indian troops, too, are inured to warfare in the wildest and most desolate regions. If ai,y readers interested in this question will but turn to the descriptions of Bhootan scenery in the narratives of the late war, they will think it im i ossible 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 greatest difficulties of ground, and against an enemy far more formidable than any we can anticipate in Abyssinia. In fact, after Facking an Emperor's palace in Tartary and establishing 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 ourselves little trouble about other affairs in Abyssinia ; but if we fail we should be committed to very unpleasant obligations. t is urged, and not without r e as o n , 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 offender 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 bad 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 on 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. 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 stnble) and Mr. Superintendent Cheyney watched the case on the part of the police. The Deputy-Coroner said they had been sum moned to inquire into the cause of the death of Fanny Adams, and he feared, fratn 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 cl.il 1, and . on their return to the inquest-room the accused, Frederick Baker, a solicitor's clerk, was brought in handcuffed. The first witness called was the child Minnie Warner. She said—On Saturday we went to play in " the Hcllow" with Fanny Adams and her little sister. While we were there a young man came, and said, " Holloa !" and then he said ho 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, li7ght 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 —I 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 one 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, y es, threepence." He said, "No ; three halfpence." I said, ,4 What did he give Lizzie, and what did he give Fairny?" Minnie Warner saki, "A halfpenny." I said, " What did he do then ?" and she repliel, " Told me to go home and spend it." I again said, " What did he do with Fanny ?" She said, " Ile 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 g ive 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 am to he 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, .ei.t ii,' Cp A TN ks _a Fe aV;V r ; Il i :. _-'-''-' e " 1 ,. sai t 'at the evidence seemed t. '.,,l k . - ' x:1 . 1.- ,t4 — "'',. , . .... •,. -,:.

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. II: 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 " IIollow." Ile looked at her and her little girl very hard, and that made her notice him particularly. He kept looking round at them as he went up the park. • Emma Smith said she beard that the child was missing. She saw a man come out of the hop 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 had 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 bop-garden. Hearing the child was missing, and had been last seen near there, be 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 bad 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 morning found an arm in the stubble field at the top cud of the hop-garden. The arm was covered over. with some helie 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 Messrs. 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. lie 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 are, 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 IVey, near the place of the murder. The Coroner then asked the accused whether he desired to say anything, to which he replied, "Ico, 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 bold 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, Illackfrio.rs-road, on the body of Henry Yates, a bootmaker's shopman, who was drowned by the swamping of a boat on the river Thames. Evidence having been given, the jury returned a verdict, "That the decease , " lost his life accidentally by the swamping of a boat in the river Thames." PICKING UP A DERELICT.-011 Thursday an American barque, named the Cashmere, arrived in the har bour, having in tow a large 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 were swept clear of every moveable article. Her hull, however, did not appear in 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.
