THE WHITWORTH GUNS.

The following letter appeared in the London Times of
Saturday I,a,st, respecting the Defence Committee's
report on the Whitworth Guns
I TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES.
SlR,—Having seen a- -.paragraph .iesiecting the
'Ordnance Committee report on the Whitworth Guns,
copied from the Post, into, the Times, I thought it
advisable to procure evidence of its untruth. I hoped
that was manifest on the face of the statement, the
avowed hostility of the paper being takeu into consi-
deration.. To-day I had an interview with Colonel St.
George. He assured me the statement in question was
" wholly uotrue, and a fabrication from beginning to
end, without any foundation even." —I remain, sir,
yours Very obediently, T. ASTON.
4, Elm-court, Temple, Aug. O.

The Morning Herald also says,—Upon authority
which Cannot be impugned, we are able to contradict
the statement which appeared in a contemporary, and
has been copied into several, other journals, that the
Ordnance select committee had made a report regarding
the 'Whitworth guns at Southport, and that the report
was-condemnatory. The subject, we are informed, was
neVer before the committee, and there is, in fact, no
foundation for, the statement.

lAE IF,LEs.—During the last fortnight there bar
been more than 200,000 pine apples sold ill. London,
the roost of which are the growth of 50r0,4 0 the west
India Islands, but more pai:ticu.lazty of the island of
Bermuda.

THE ROAD MURDER.

UNRESSION Or THE-MURDERER.

OXFORDt Saturday Afternoon.
Considerable excitement has been Caused by the arrival
at the London and North Western Railway Station here
this morning of a man in the custody of Sergt. Boyle
and another officer of the Bucks constabulary, who states
he is the assassin of the child who was found so cruelly
murdered at` Road; near Prome.
It appears that the prisoner, who is a railway navvy,
went to the Wolverton Station, and gave 'himself up to
the police, alleging that he committed the murder
at Road. He stated that his Christian tuunes were
Edward John, but withheld his surname ; that he has
been.living at Pimlico, London ; that he went to the
locality of the murder in search of work ; and that a
man and woman came to him and asked him if lie
would undertake to get off the child, and promised him
a handsome sum of money if he-would do so. lie states
that he undertook the job, and murdered_ the child,
and it was agreed to bury the body under a hedge in the
garert, but subsequently it was decided to put- the body
in the privy, where it was found. He farther added,
that he knew the man who had come to him about the
child, and that they knewint—ii,-‘ll/ en- he got to
Bath he would give them further particulars. He de-
clined to give his own name or the names o# tho other
parties until he got to Bath, and they were before him.
He complained'that he had been treated very badly, the
parties who employed him not having given him any.
thing like what they promised him. The prisoner having
been taken into custody on his own confession, was
brought before the Rev Mr. Barton, at Stoney Strat-
ford; IVlietl-e lie made iiiittilar statement, and was con-
sequently removed to Oxford this morning. He was
tam-from the-No-rth-Western to the 'Great Western
station, and left Oxford for Trowbridge by the 11.35
train. During his short stay at the station he entered
into conversation-with parties on general subjects, but
declined to -enlighten them any further on the murder
until the proper time. He appeared to be about
thirty years of age, with a sullen cast of
countenance, but - was perfectly cool and collected,
and steadfastly adherfid to every statement he made.
Sergeant-- RI-the Oxford City Police, was in
attendance at the station with his brother officers, and
from we learn that the prisoner has the appearance
of perfect sanity, having conversed with him in a
sensible and rational manner..

The affair has created considerable interest at Oxford,
and further particulars are anxiously looked for.

The Teeth influence the form and expression of the

agreeable expression is produced.
When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, when
