THE MURDER AT WOLVERHAMPTON.

In The Sun of Saturday last an account was
given of the discovery of the dead body of a man
named Williams, at Wolverhampton. It was stated
that a young woman left the house in which his
body was found three weeks before. A few days
afterwards a young woman applied to Ann Corbett,
who lives in Tower-street, Dudley, for the key of
the next house, which was empty. The applicant
said that she was the wife of William Smith, a
lamplighter, and that she was in search of a house.
She obtained the key and left. Last Thursday some
persons entered upon the tenancy of the same house,
and there, in an attic they discovered the dead body
of a woman. The face of the corpse was down-
wards, with the head resting on one side. A half-
pint bottle, labelled " Laudanum," lay at her feet.
Hanging to the skylight of the room was a
woman's bonnet, which had in it the key of the
house. The bottle was of a half.pint size, with thei
name of "Lewis, Bilston," stamped
Beneath the label, which was inscribed
"pon it.
Lauda-
num," there was found to be another an llde
label, also bearing the word " Laudanum." the
r
deceased woman's pocket there was a mercer's
paper big, stamped with the name and address of
Mr. Pursell, of Bilston. A small quantity of lauda-
num was found in the bottle, and Mr. G. E. Hor-
ton, surgeon, of Dudley, deposed at the inquest that
the, body lay in such a position as would Iliad tothe
inference that deceased lay down where she was
found when she felt herself in a state of coma
an overdose of narcotic from
a verdict of " Found dead." It has since transpired
that the bonnet found hanging in thighigt in
poison. The jury returned

THE ARMY.

on Friday and Saturday the 18th Hussars had
/
reached Norwich, Ipswich, and Northampton, be-
tween which towns the regiment is divided. The
headquarters and three troops are stationed at
Norwich, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Knox,
formerly 'Major in the 15th Hussars. It appears
that the removal of the regiment from Aldershott
was expedited on account of the severe drought pre-
vailing there.
The force stationed at the camp at Colchester has
been reduced during the past week by the depar-
ture of the following draught of troops for service
in India :—Capt. Chapman, Lieut. Sampson, En-
sign Savill, and 28 rank and file of the 34th ; En-
sign Younk and 20 rank and file of the 38th ; En-
sign Haig and 12 rank and file of the 54th ; Lieut.
Wickham, Ensign Hale, 1 sergeant, and 15 rank
and file of the 88th; and Ensign MacLachlin and
53 rank and file of the 90th. This draught em-
barked in the Essex from Tilbury Fort for Calcutta
but Capt. Paget, of the 34th, and Brevet-. Valor
Vance, of the 38th, have received permission tught

the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8., is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the
account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbndge

Greenway, Warwick ; or their London agents, Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co , Messrs Hanburys and Co., or Messrs.

The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare. but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his
home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

APPEAL.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since
the beginning, of the year 1860, the Royai National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments on'the Coasts of Eng'and, Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society, ,nd other means, since its formation, is 12,800;
ior which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,000 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-can iages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful senae of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enab'ed them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, whi h can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.

TEE PROJECT OF FEDERAL REFORM,

VIENNA, AUG. 15,
The semi-official Evening Post doubts the cor..
rectness of the six points, stated by a Frankfort
paper to comprise the main features of the Austrian
project of Federal Reform.
Upon the same subject, the Neue Frankfurter
Zeitung says :—" The six points of the imperial
project communicated yesterday from an Austrian
source are not exhaustive, and do not comprise the
latest alterations. At least we are informed that
a decision had not been come to on Wednesday in
Vienna, whether the Directory should consist of
five or seven members, and that the point was
again debated on Thursday forenoon.
" The Emperor is said to have stipulated that the
proposals he should undertake to lay before the
Princes should be drawn up in as liberal a sense as
possible."

THE MURDER AT WOLVERHAMPTON,

In The Sun of Saturday last an account was
given of the discovery of the dead body of a man
named Williams, at Wolverhampton. It was stated
that a young woman left the house in which his
body was found three weeks before. A few days
afterwards a young woman applied to Ann Corbett,
who lives in Tower-street, Dudley, for the key of
the next house, which was empty. The applicant
said that she was the wife of William Smith, a
lamplighter, and that she was in search of a house.
She obtained the key and left. Last Thursday some
persons entered upon the tenancy of the same house,
and there, in an attic they discovered the dead body
of a woman. The face of the corpse was down-
wards, with the head resting on one side. A half-
pint bottle, labelled " Laudanum," lay at her feet.
Hanging to the skylight of the room was a
woman's bonnet, which had in it the key of the
house. The bottle was of a half-pint size, with the
name of "Lewis, Bilston," stamped upon it.
Beneath the label, which was inscribed "Lauda-
num," there was found to be another and older
label, also bearing the word " Laudanum." In the
s
deceased woman's pocket there was a

THE PROJECT OF FEDERAL REFORM.

VIENNA, AUG. 15.
The semi-official Evening Post doubts the cor-
rectness of the six points, stated by a Frankfort
paper to comprise the main features of the Austrian
project of Federal Reform.

Upon the same subject, the Neue Frankfurter
Zeitung says :—" The six points of the Imperial
project communicated yesterday from an Austrian
source are not exhaustive, and do not comprise the
latest alterations. At least we are informed that
a decision had not been come to on Wednesday in
Vienna, whether the Directory should consist of
five or seven members, and that the point was
again debated on Thursday forenoon.
" The Emperor is said to have stipulated that the
proposals he should undertake to lay before the
Princes should be drawn up in as liberal a sense as
possible."

The Cologne Gazette says it is reported that Duke
Ernest of Coburg-Gotha has prepared a comprehen-
sive memorial upon the Austrian project of Federal
reform, embodying therein his own views upon
German unity. The Duke will probably submit
this memorial to the Congress of Princes.

General Pope ; it was the same at Chancellorsville,
the same at Gettysburg. And few things are more
evident than that, in spite of the homage which the
Fed m-al Generals all concur in paying to their re-
spective armies, nothing is further from the policy
of each General than to follow the example of
General Burnside at Fredericksburg, and to attack
Gen. Lee in a position chosen by himself. It was
the opinion of General Jackson, it is the opinion
of General Longstreet no less than of Genera! Lee,
that upon the soil of Virginia it makes no difference
%hat the disparity of numbers may be, if the Con-
federates fight behind even the most insignificant
breastworks and receive their enemy's attack. It
is difficult, so long as the spirit and morale of Gen.
Lee's army remain what they are now, to compute
how many men the Federals would have to bring
before they could carry such works as defendßich-
mond and Petersburg, if ever they should succeed
in driving the Confederates from the open field into
these works.

CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of
the BIRTH of SHAKSTEARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8., is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the
account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge
and Kidderminster or Warwick and Leamington Banks,
Stratford-upon-Avon ; Messrs. Greenway, Smith, and
Greenway, Warwick ; or their London agents, Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and co , Messrs. Hanburys and Co., or Messrs.
Glyn and Co., bankers, London. _

The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare. but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his
home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

The Wreck of the Steamer, Her Majesty.

The injuries sustained by this vessel are of a more
serious nature than were at first anticipated, for it
has been ascertained that there is a very largo hole
in her bottom. Her Majesty is an iron vessel, and
was built by Scott Russell, of Milima', and for up-
wards of 20 years she has been considered one of
the fastest vessels on 'the Isle of Wight station,
which was the reason she was selected for pleasure
trips round the island. On one occasion we were
informed that she went twice round the Isle of
Wight in a day, and alwaysre performed her passages
gularity. Her original cap
When the vessel had
tain, Captain Creak, had only left her about a month. Tate, with great ud

ran her towards the
shore, on a sand.-bank, but, in consequence of the
great hole that was made in her b...ttom the water
soon made its way to the engine room, and, rising
to the fires, caused such a generation of steam as to
drive the stokers from their places, and we are in-
formed that she soon filled. Fortunately there
were not the usual number of passengers oil board,
or the consequences might have been very serious
indeed, and this was to be accounted for by the fact
that a strong breeze prevailed, and many persons
declined to go with her on that account. It was
also most fortunate that the pilot boats were near
to render such assistance as was required at the
time, and finally to bring the, passengers to their
homes at Ryde and Portsmouth. Yesterday two
Jumpers, from Portsmouth Dockyard were along-
side the vessel, for the purpose of attempting to
raise her by passing chains under the bottom, but
it was believed by SOll2O praezieal men. that this
would be 4 work of cohsidcrable diffieulty.

PENAL SERVITUDE.

" ' Although there may be cases in which it will
be expedient, in the exercise of the power created
by section 9 of the 16th and 17th of Victoria, c. 99,
to qualify the remission of a portion of the sentence,
by the grant of a licence to be at large in the United
Kingdom or any part thereof, revocable at her Ma-
jesty's pleasure, it is not intended, generally, to
exercise this power in the case of the remission of a
portion of the sentence to which I have referred.
" ' In stating the course which it is proposed to
adopt in ordinary cases in giving effect to sentences
of penal servitude, I have thought it unnecessary to
advert to those exceptional cases which must from
time to time occur, in which special circumstances
may justify the exercise of the royal prerogative of
mercy.

" 'As there is not at this moment any colony open
to the reception of female convicts, the course which
I have indicated as to the removal to a colony of
convicts under sentence of penal servitude is, for
the present at least, applicable only to male convicts.
