ANOTHER MURDER AT FROME.

FROME, Sunday Evening.
This town, which has been so intensely excited of late
by the Road tragedy, was again thrown into consterna-
tion this morning by the discovery of a dead body, from
the appearance of which there is every reason to believe
another foul murder has been perpetrated. About nine
o'clock this morning a boy was walking in the road by the
side of the Frome river, at a place called IWelshmill,
in this town, when he perceived something having
the appearance of a corpse floating in the water.
Re immediately gave the alarm, and the gardener
of Dr. Harrison, one of our magistrates, having
extricated the object, it was found to be the dead
body of a flue and healthy male child. It was
quite dead, and its little arms were bent up towards
the face. 'lt appeared to have been in the
water only a few hours at the most, as blood was still
exuding from the nostrils. Around the neck was a
portion of a staylace with which the deceased had appa-
rently been strangled. The body was immediately con-
veyed to the Griffin Inn, which, together with the spot
where the child was found, is close to the most populous
portion of the town. Here it was viewed by Dr. White,
who pronounced it to have lived, although it was but a
few hours old ; some of the customary midwifery opera-
tions had not been performed upon it. The body awaits
the coroner's inquest, and the police are actively inves-
tigating the matter. We hear, just previous to the
despatch of our parcel, that. Mr. Superintendent Sum-
mers is sanguine of obtaining a clue to the murderer.

LIVERPOOL SOCIETY OF. FINE ARTS.—The private
view of the Liverpool Society of Fine Arts' next exhibi-
tion will be held on the 25th inst.. Report speaks well
of the prospects of this exhibition. We hear that, in

O'Neil, there are arrived in Liverpool, a "Harvest Scene,"

a Becket," by Mr. Cross; Mr. Huristone's "Margaret

THE CTTNARD VESSELS.—SeveraI Irish papers have
published the following► circular :
• Tower-buildings, Water-street, Liverpool.
9th August.

DEArt Slit.,—Will you please discontinue booking passengers
for this line until further notice. The season's shipment of
goods being now at an end, the sailing of these steamers will
he discontinued until the recommencement of the busy season,
which will probably be early in December. We are, dear sir,
yours respectfully, JAMES BAINES AND CO.

It is accompanied by a statement that the whole of the
Cunard steamers are to be withdrawn from Queenstown
in consequence of the ratification of the Galway subsidy
contract. Our Irish contemporaries are mistaken in
their conclusions. The determination of the Cunard
Company applies only to the line of screw steamers,
which have called at that port on alternate Wednesdays.
The reason why the company has discontinued running
that particular line is only of a temporary nature, as
will be seen from the following "Notice to Shippers,"
issued on the Bth inst :
The season's shipments to New York having nearly termi-
nated, the sailiags of this line of screw steamers will be discon-
tinued until the re-commencement of the busy season.

The passenger paddle steamers of the Cunard line will
continue, as usual, to call at Queenstown.
