EXTENSION OP THE MONEY-ORDER SYSTEM

TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

L On the Ist of October, and thenceforward,
money orders will be issued by all money-order offices in
the United Kingdom on the undermentioned places in
South Australia, at a charge of Is. for any sum not exceed-
ing 2/. ; 2s. for any sum above 21. and not exceeding 5/. ;
Is. for any sum above W. and not exceeding 71.; and 4s.
for any sum above 71. and not exceeding 101.; beyond
, which latter sum no single money order will be
issued. From the above date money-order will
also be issued for any ME not exceeding 101. .at
the undermentioned places in South Australia on
any money-order office in the United Kingdom.
2. The issue of money orders under this arrangement
will be in all respects en the rime conditions as than which
regulate their issue by one office on another office in the
United Kingdom, except that, in consequence of the dis-
tames between the United Kingdom and South Australia, an
interval of six instead of two months will be allowed after
the issue of an order in one country payable in the other,
before such order will become lapsed.
3. For the renewal in the United Kingdom of a lapsed
order, for the issue there of a duplicate order, or for the
stoppage there of payment of an order, application must be
made to the controller of the metropolitan office of that pert
of the Kingdom (England, Leland, or Scotland) in which such
order is payable. In the case of lapsed orders, an addi-
tional inland rate of commusion will be deducted from the
amount of the new order, and the lapsed order must be
transmitted with the application for renewal. In the other
cases an additional inland commission must accompany the
application. If transfer of payment from one office to ano-
ther office in the United Kingdom be required, application
should be made to the mooeporder office at which
the order is payable, the order being forwarded with such
application. The additional inland commission in this use
Will be deducted from the new order.

4. For repayment of the amount of a money order, or for
the con ection of any error respecting the name of the
payee or remitter, application, accompanied with an addi-
tional island rate of commission, most be made to the ma-
troller of the metropolitan office of the country in which
the order was issued.
_ . .

5. As all advice& of colonial money orders must pus
through the metropolitan offices of this country and of the
colony in which the orders are issued or have to be paid,
unavoidable delay in payment must in some instances arise,
since such advice may occasionally arrive in the United
Kingdom or in the colony one post after the orders have
reached their destination.

THE MURDER BY • SOLDIER AT ISLEWORTIL —The
adjourned inquest co the body of Annie Bentham, was re-
corned yesterday afternoon at the Chequers lop, Twicken-
ham-lane, before Mr. James Bud, coroner for the Western
Division of the county. Some additional evideooe having
been taken, the jury, after an hour's deliberation, returned
the following verdict :—" That the deceased woman, Annie
Copeland, otherwise Barnham, came to her death through
mortal injuries from a pistol-shot wound inflicted by Robert
Cooper, alias Charles Copeland, alias Bailey, alias 13arnham,
and that he the mid person, known u Robert Cooper, was
guilty of the wilful murder of the said Annie Copeland,
otherwise Bambara." The coroner then made out his
warrant for the committal of the accused man, which was
handed to Inspector Rigalaford, who will hold it in custody
and of coarse put it in force after the magistrate's decision
is known. The several witnesses were then bound over to
appear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court,
and the proceedings termitated.
DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF • GENTLEMAN IN
THE NIVEL —Yestorday morning information was forwarded
to Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, of the discovery
of the body of a gentlemanly-attired man in the river, off
Rotherhithe, under the following circumstances :—lt would
appear that late last night a man named Force, one of the
tire brigade, was on duty on the lower steam-float off
Rotherhithe, when his attention was attracted to some
object floating down with the tide. Having got into •
boat, he found it to be the body of • non, which he at
once conveyed to the shore, sod information was given to
the police. The deceased was attired in a somewhat singular
manner. He had on two coats, a beown full coat, sad a
blue under coat with gilt buttons, two pairs of trousers, no
waistcoat, Rod a pair of blucher boots. No money or any
articles to lead to identification were found upon him. He
is about 60 years of age, with grey hair, somewhat bald, and
from the decomposed state of the body, must have been in
the water some time.

STRIKE Or WORKMEN AT NORTHFLIXT. DOCKYARD.
—COMMITTAL OF TUX RINGLIADCIIB.—A strike bee taken
Owe among the men employed in the dockyard at North-
fleet, by Messrs. Mare and Co It appears that between
KO and 700 men were employed on the iron steamer
Angleses, under construction for the Galway Company, the
great majority of whom struck work in consequence of the
proprietors refusing to discharge en *boo:ions foreman,
named Smart. At an early hour in the morning some of
the workmen commeaced swanking Mr. Smart, and endea-
voured to drive him from the yard, several of the workmen
throwing doses aid other missiles. With some difficulty
Mr. Smart was got out of the yard and sent away to Graves-
end in a cab, for protection ; but be was followed by an
eimperated mob of workmen, who pelted the cab with
stones. On the following morning the workmen spin as-
added at the entrance to the yard, and their language and
conduct was very violent. This continued daring the whole
of the day, some of the well-behaved hands who continued
their work being severely assaulted by the mob. Applies-
' Coon was subsequently made to the magirtrates for warrants
against two of the ringleaders, Edward Bray and James
Murphy, who now stand committed for trial at the next
quarter missions for the county of Kent.
