ALDERSHOT. Arra:Jarmo M ORDIR. - A
desperate attempt at wife murder was made at
Aldershot on Thursday evening. A woman named
Bartlett had, it seems, left her husband at Exeter
and gone to live at Aldershot. Thither on Thum
day evening he came, and having found where his
wife lodged he got into conversation with her. At
length he called ber into the street, and there out
her throat in three places with a razor, partly sever-
ing the jugular vein. She screamed out, and the
man was taken into custody. On the way to the
police-station the prisoner mid if his wife died be
should die happy, as he came down with the inten-
tion to do for her. He said he should ask the favour
of being allowed to go back to Devonshire, his native
county, to be executed. He is about 27 or 25 years
of age.

—There was much consternation on Friday evening
by an alarm of fire on board the ship John liaison,
lying in Mr. Warner's yard at Northam. The fire
broke out in the cookhouse, and that portion of
the ship was completely destroyed; but the men at
work in the yard, being quickly on the spot,
fortunately succeeded in quenching the firs before it
bad made much p Had there been any
delay, in all probability rigging would have
caught fire, and the ship have been destroyed. The
town fire angina was quickly on the spot, but its
services were not required.
A NOTIIER CASK OF IN FANTICIDL —The bod jt!
th anoer newly-born child was found early on us
day morning on the Weaken shore, and from the
marks upon it there is no doubt that the child was
first strangled, and afterwards thrown into the water,
in the hope that the receding tide would carry it
away, and thus remove all evidence of the crime
which had been committed. On Wednesday after-
noon an inquest was held on the body, before Mr.
Coxwell, when the jury returned a verdict ot
"Wilful Murder against some person or persons un-
known."

PARIJAMENTART REPORT.—Mr. White, in his Report
to Parliament on the employment of children in Match
Manufactories (just published), alluding to Bryant and
May's, says "There is nothing unpleamant or objeo•
tionable here; the factory is remarkable for the ex-
cellence of its arrangement, both for the health and
comfort of the workpeople." This ia very Important
testimony, as in the Name Report the Commiealona,
speaks of the dreadful disease (necro.is, decay of the
lower jaw-bone) prevalent amongst those engaged in
the manufacture of ordinary limiters.
Bryant and May's Patent Safety Match ignites only
on the box, thus affording to life and property the most
effectual protection from fire.
