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, monsll - 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 cauai dates only) 2,500 French 5OO Elements of Physics and Chymistry 750 English Grammar and Composition Geography ry and History Nu candidate will lie 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.

NORTH CORNWALL.—.Another week of fine har vest weather is gone, ard 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'•satisfacfion. The condition of corn is not to be surpassed. Already the steam-thrashing machine is at work, and wc., , may expoct soon to see the millers finding employment for their mills, which have been quiet for some weeks past. ROMSEY.—Great progress has been made in har vest work dining •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 influetne has affected the whole district, and that the produce will fall short of an average crop by at last 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. MEurnAm.—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.—Tho 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.—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, whip the temperature at night - has been higher than the summer average. The consequence is a rapid ripening of eve r y 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. Marc t.—Should the weather still hold find 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 Popo 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. Ile should merely state certain facts connected with the death of the deceased, and should then ask the Bench to remand the prisoners. On Thurslay last he apprehended.the prisoners on a warrant. When the nalu 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 mLutes afterwards they found the deceased lying in the roan way. They also stated that they were the first to give any -darn'. Now he • would be able to produce a witness who ld prove that he left Luton at 1 2 o'clock on that night. .... 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 he, and not the prisoners, was the first person to give the alarm. lie 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. lir 4.- 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 whoa the murder was committed, and that he stood by and saw it done. Ile 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 the murder gave the deceased a second blow before the murdered man fell. The m ur d erers were minutes with their expiring victim before they were disturbed. The deceased bad many ryears officiated as a game watcher, and it is surmised that robbery was not the ouly object that induced the unfortunate man's murderers to slay him. The police made a searchiug examination on Saturday of the place where the murder was committed. In spector Smith found a sriirt, a wideawake bat, and a bit of black ribbon " tucked into" a hedge 160 yards from the spot. A further search of the ad joining fields and hedges was then made. In another Indio 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 now, and they had the shop mar k s on them. They were just in the same state as when the deceased bought them on the night he was mur dered.one of the accused, Levi Th r ee years ago, 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 Beechwood. Two gamekeepers came upon them, and Welch fired his gun. lie 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 fro the excite ment. *Welch was imprisoned for Iwo years for his Me transaction. Come particulars appeared in the papers of yes terday ef a murder, unparalleled for its brutality, committed in the quiet mar' of town of Alton, in Hants, on Saturday evening. The :ants 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 is the meadow adjoining Amery Farm, which is situated a few yards distant from the borne of the decsassl. 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 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 bold 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 thesa 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 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 fsr 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 deceased. 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 bad 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 hetift 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 ithad 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 i n 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 consequane, of the disjointed and iuutil,kted 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 tha fourth of a family of six children, and was a tall, comely, and intelligent gill. 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. Ia the meantime, Superintendent Cheyney obtained a description of the man in whose company the ill-fated girl •, last seen, and,.aide,d by his local knowledge, ed that the person described exactly - , e• man named Frederick Baker, • - ploy of Messrs. Clements, ••inon proceeded to -inc o'clock -na he cone' lt, answered to a you-,, whom he knew as in the solicitors, of the town. He them,._ the office of Messrs. Clements about .- in the evening, and saw the accused sitting As. 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 i s 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 vipers 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 High-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. He was accordingly taken through the hack 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. Tho 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 worn by the prisoner were wet, the result evidently of a meant 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 thlt he had washed them in the rivulet near the :cent} g the murder. In- his pockets were found the sum of £1 Gs. 1 iu money, and two pen knives, ono of which contained three blades and the other two. Neither of these appeared to be of suffi c i e nt strength for tho 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 prisoner 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, awl thousands of per s yhited the site of the harrowing tragedy, where pools of the life-blood of the innocent child were painfully visible. The morbid feeling animwing 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 "Satototty, 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 MessrA. Smallpeice, the eminent solicitors of that town. Ile was afterwards employed by Mr. P. W. Lovett, solicitors of the same place, and duringhis 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. Ile 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. lie 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. IRELAND. 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 1 trge assemblage of the local gen try. The friendly alliance was cemented by a public dinner in the evening, at which both associations were represented. The Right Hon. J. W. Fitz patrick, LP., 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 butterOwhich noir suffers in competition with French, owing ahiCily 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. He 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 scrine it fro•n 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 newly in 561 b. casks, with cloths to protect it from the influence of the wood. Ile spoke from expe rience of the injurious effect upon the Irish trade. He found that nearly every store in Manchester was filled with French batter. 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, he 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 nit deal in this dishonest way. The chairman mentioned the case of a butter maker in Cork who told him that a firkin paid him better than 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- 1 ..171e to success is this important branch of Irish tract?, ti nd it is to be hoped that the experience of bitter disappo....ntments in the exports to England will oblige them stemit. Such unprofitable s will teach a necessary tours as that of Mr. Har.f. evil will cure itself lesson to the farmers, and the in time, but the danger is that beLore 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 dislodged. 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 Fitzwilliain set an excellent ex ample to other proprietors in Ireland by visiting their estates annually and residing for some time iu the midst of their tenantry. Their presence gives confidence nud p:casure 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 and the improvements which may be required, cannot fail to have a beneficial effect. Coolle.tin-park, at which the family are now staying, is a centre of gaiety and rejoicing in honour of the marriage of Lord Milton. Among the entertainments which have boon given to celebrate the event not the least interesting was on Friday, when GOO children belonging to the several schools on the estate were hospitably received in the parki and the most liberal arrangements made for their riilbyment. --- - • A compliment ii'lkbout to be paid to Mr. Justice O'Hagan in Belfast, hiS nativelown, which must be peculiarly gratifying, as it indicates .trgenerous spirit in political opponents.

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 manufactu. ing the conductors the wires receive first a substantial coating of inorganised or insulatory substance, then a coating of fibre, which„ is almost completely carbonise:4 by the beat of the compotind, and each wife 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-gaugecopper 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 ono 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 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 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 increasAas required; indeed so ea-ily worked and understood is this process that it was stated that boys were chiefly employed in making the specimens laid down. Is the course of various remarks and explanations oared by Mr. _Nicoll and his friends other advantages -were pointed out'. Amongst these were, th it a larger nuuOier 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 ineqtudity olourlace. 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 au ordinary sub-soil plough, and after the trenches arc 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 col l, and any number of wires may b.: laid_withease 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 £5 per wile ; and as the insulating material is indestructible, and has been tested as resisting even the attacks of the white ant of Indit, 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 pf the material of insulation, it will speedily receive e xtek9i v e 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-President of the Council o gen eral in Military Education, who was adi visional in the last war in China, under Sir Hope Grant. The forces employed will comprise all branches of the service. The infantry will consist most probably of two of her M ~pgiy's Regiments of the Line, one of which will be a Battalion of the 23 Queen's Own, and eight regiments of Native Punjaubee Infantry. The cavalry will be composed of abut six regiments of Indian irregular troops, while the artillery will include, besides mountain guns, two batteries of Royal Artillery.
