THE LATE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT

ALDERSHOT.

At the Aldershot Police-court, yesterday, Sergt.-
Major Henry Leslie Kennedy, of the 3d battalion
Military Train, attended to give evidence against
John Nicholas, a private in the same battalion (by
whom, it will be remembered, he was shot with a
rifle in November last), for the purpose of being
subpoenaed to prosecute the prisoner at the ensuing
assizes at Winchester. Sergeant-Major Kennedy
left the army hospital on the Ist inst., and has so
far recovered from the effects of the wound in his
chest as to be able to walk for some distance; and
there is now nothing in his general appearance in-
dicative of the intense physical suffering he has
undergone subsequently to the cowardly attempt
upon his life. The evidence of the witnesses in the
case having been read over, Sergeant-Major Ken-
nedy, who was accommodated with a seat during
the examination, deposed as follows :—On the night
of the 6th of November last I returned home to my
hut from the camp theatre, about half-past twelve
o'clock, in company with Sergeant Salter, Sergeant
Ward, and Corporal Pearce. I lit a candle, and
was in the act of pulling off my boots, when a knock
cams to the door. I said, " Come in," and the pri-
soner, John Nicholas, entered. He immediately said,
" What accusation have you got against me P" and
before I could make a reply I felt a blow on the
chest, and heard the report of a rifle. After that I
know nothing of what took place. On the same
evening, between eight o'clock and half-past, I was
at the camp theatre, and told off the prisoner to see
that the gallery seats were properly filled, and that
nobody went from the gallery into the pit. I also
told Corporal Downey to see to the pit seats. The
pit front seats were full, and Downey had to go
down by the gallery, where the prisoner was sta-
tioned. This led to the disturbance which took place
between the prisoner and Corporal Downey. I
heard the prisoner call out, upon which I explained
the reason why Corporal Downey had to go over
the gallery rails, but he would not be satisfied
with the explanation, and he then used some im-
proper language to the corporal, which I do not
remember. I thereupon told him that if he could
not behave himself like another man he had better
go home. 1 then left him and went into the theatre.
The prisoner followed me to the pit door, and. said,
" I will go home; Sergeant-Major, I will go home."
Upon this the prisoner went away, and I saw no-
thing more of him until he came into my hut.
The prisoner Nicholas is still in Winchester Gaol,
awaiting his trial for the above offence.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Pills.—Ease for the
Dyspeptic.—lndigestion, with torpidity of the liver, is the
curse of thousands who spend cash day with accumulated
sufferings, all of which might have been avoided by taking
Holloway's Pills according to their accompanying direc-
tions. They strengthen and invigorate every organ sub-
servient to digestion. Their action is purifying, healing;
!Ind strengthening. They may be taken without purifying,,
with ordinary pursuits, or requiring much restriction
in diet. They quickly remove noise and giddiness in the
head, and dispel low spirits and nervous fears. These bal-
samic Pills work the cure without debilitating or exhaust-
ing the system ; on the other hand, they conserve and:sup-
port the vital principle by substituting pure for impure

The failure of the Atlantic telegraph was disc
heartening. A feeling then prevailed that to con-
nect Europe and Araeriea telegraphically was an
object which science and wealth, skill and enter-
prise, must fail to accomplish. The successful lay-
ing down of ocean telegraph cables is a result of
immense importance to the se, hole civilised world;
but to the greatest of all commercial and colonial
Powers such a conquest cf time and space is a Thal
queztlon. HoW often are vast interests alarmed and
imperilled for rant of the means of instant and
secret communication ? This is an experience
which events repeatedly confirm. In a short time
there will be about 200,000 miles of electric tele-
graph wire in all pante ef the world, estimated to
yield an income of about five millions sterling annu-
ally. The United Kingdom, Europe, and North-
eastern America are at present covered with a net-
work of telegraphic wires. In other parts of the
world also vastly extended lines of telegraphic wires
exist, such as those between San Francisco and New
York, Kurrachee and Rangoon in India, and Bris-
bane and Adelaide in Australia. The electric tele-
graph in the United Kingdom alone yields an annual
revenue of about £lO for every mile of wire. The
Malta and Egypt submarine cable, about 1,000
miles in length, isyielding nearly £l,OOO per week.
As this cable has been successfully laid, the project
of connecting telegraphically the west coast of Ire-
land and Newfoundland, a distance of 1,700 miles,
is now revived: If this can be done it would be all
that is desired for the interests of Great Britain in
communicating with America, because the, termini
will be in British territory. If, howeTef, such a
cable cannot be successfully submerged with our
present mechanical appliances, other schemes tor
connecting the Old and New World are in a forward
state, and for the accomplishment of which there
will be no difficulty as far as length of sea cable is
concerned. Such, for instance, are the schemes for
connecting Europe and America by way of Iceland,
Greenland, and Labrador, by way of Cadiz, the
Cape de Verds, St. Paul, and Brazil, and by way of
Russia, Siberia, and the Aleutian isles. If India
cannot be reached by ocean cables, telegraphic com-
munication will certainly be made by way of Eastern
Europe, Asia Minor, and the Euphrates. As no
mode of communicating with India can completely
satisfy this country unless our Government can have
uncontrolled power over the telegraph, and
which cannot be the case if the intervening
wires pass through a foreign country, we
are seeing to the reconstruction or repairing of
our sea cables towards the East. It has been
already mentioned that a fresh cable has
been successfully laid down between Alexan-
dria and Malta, therefore nothing can prevent us
now from connecting telegraphically by sea lines
Malta and Gibraltar, and Gibraltar and Falmouth,
whenever we please, because each cable will not be
of greater length than the Malta and Alexandrian
one. In a month's time a cable will be submerged
between Suez and Jubal, in the Red Sea. This
will be only 300 miles long, and therefore easily
effected ; and immediate steps are to be made to
repair the cable between Aden and Kurrachee.
Before Easter, probably, we shall be able to com-
municate with all parts of India in five days, with
Hong Kong in 20 days, and with Australia in 26
days, and when the Australian land line is ex-
tended from Adelaide to Perth, in Western Aus-
tralia, in 22 days.
Russia is now strenuously exerting herself to
reach China, Japan, and even the United States
by telegraph before England can do so, except by
the use of Russian wires. Estafettes regularly
run between Pekin and the telegraph stations in
Asiatic Russia. Disputes have arisen between the
United States and Russian telegraphic engineers
as to the best route for passing the telegraph wires
from Asia to America. The former, knowing Ethe
cheapness, safety, and permanence of land wires
from experience, are:for Behring Straits route—the
latter for the route by Kamschatka and the Aleu-
tian Isles. Some English writers appear to think
that the sparseness of population in Eastern
Siberia and Russian America will prove an
insurmountable objection to the Behring
Straits route. But this very sparseness
will secure the wires from injury. Besides
the complete control which Russia knows how
to exercise over the remotest parts of her
dominions will enable her to protect the wires.
Russia will find no greater difficulty in doing this
than the United States Government has found in
protecting the wires from San Francisco to the
Western Atlantic through a country of wild In-
dians. As to the weather, so far north as Behring
Straits it will not be more formidable than in
Labrador or Greenland, where it has been pro-
nounced by competent navigators and electral engi-
neers to be no insuperable bar to telegraphic wires
and cables. The struggle between England and
Russia to reach the far East by telegraph will be a
fierce one. England will manage by-and-bye to
creep up the Red Sea from Jubal, and by repairing
the cable in the Arabian sea we shall have an un-
broken telegraph line from Malta to Rangoon, over
which we shall have complete control, for the short
telegraphic communication between Alexandria
and Suez is completely in our hands. To extend
the line from Rangoon to Singapore will not be
difficult. The French and Spanish possessions in
Cochin China will assist us up to Hong Kong, and
from thence the route to Pekin by way of Amoy,
Shanghai, and Gulf of Pecheli will be easy. From
Shanghai a telegraph cable, only 500 miles long,
would reach Nagasaki, in Japan.
In the spring of the present year it is not impos-
sible that the steam packet communication between
Galway and St. John's, Newfoundland, may be re-
established, and intelligence from all parts of the
United States and British North America would
then reach us in six days. The New York, Boston,
Halifax, and Portland packets must then make a
point of regularly getting news by telegraph from
Cape Race, in order to keep pace with the
Irish packets. At the present time the former
steamers pass Cape Race upwards of 400
times in the course of a year, and five times
out of six they fail to get or convey intelligence
from that point. Some effective plan ought to be
organised to communicate with every Transatlantic
packet passing the south-eastern point of Newfound-
land, or the Galway boats will beat the Queens-
town and Londonderry steamers in priority of in-
telligence by 3 or 4 days. When the Canadian
telegraph is extended to the mouth of the St. Law-
rence, which is shortly to be done, even the summer
Canadian mail packets, which travel the Belle Isle
route, will beat the Cunard steamers in priority of
news from the United States, if the latter ships do
not get late intelligence from Cape Race.
One great defect of the electric telegraph atbre.
sent is the difficulty of transmitting simultaneous
messages, either in the same or in opposite direc-
tions on the same wire. Hence, where there is much
lines like musical staves, and
traffic numerous wires have to be erected, which
immensely to the cost of telegraphic
appear on our railway
which add
messages. It is not improbable that this difficulty
will one day be overcome, and the transmission of
te
separate telegrams, in the same or in opposi •
direc-
tions, at the same time and on the same wire, be
effected. Nature exhibits phenomena something
similar to this when the vibrations of the air or the
undulations of light, though crossed or overtaken
by other vibrations or undulations, convey sounds
or images to the ear or eye without distortion or
confusion. The transmission of simultaneous tele-
grams along one wire would be a consummate
triumph of electric telegraphy.
Politically, commercially, and socially, the electric
telegraph is destined to confer vast benefits. If
Earl Russell's despatch to Lord Lyons on the Trent
affair had been transmitted to Washington in 19
minutes, instead of in 19 days, we should have had
news of the liberation of Messrs. Mason and Sli-

; and what fears and •
stagnation of trade and depreci i s%ef%As'
securities—and what national ani. S
from the intemperance of English and
Anierican writers, would then have been
prevented! Much of the recent difficulty ,in
getting more cotton from India has arisen from the
time occupied in communicating with Calcutta from
England. Before mercantile transactions in cotton
could be effected at Calcutta, fears were entertained
that American news might render such transactions
unprofitable. It is a maxim that the quicker the
communication between the different marts of com-
merce throughout the world the safer can all kinds
of business be carried on. This is proved by the
large and continually increasing revenues derived
by telegraph companies even when they only par-
tially connect distant markets. A merchant living
ten or twelve thousand miles distant may give an
order for thousands of pounds' worth of goods, and
before the order arrives the markets may have
changed, and a serious loss ensue, but no merchant
would ever complain of being enabled to delay giv-
ing an order for goods until within a few hours
when it would be necessary for the seller to execute
the order. And then the luxury of instantaneous
communication with absent friends: A twelve-
month ago an Indian liner left London. After a
fearful passage, in which she was nearly wrecked,
the captain and almost all the officers and crew
were laid up in a Calcutta hospital with:cholera and
other diseases. The news reached their friends in
England. But letters announcing their recovery
and departure were given to some one to post, who
it is believed destroyed the letters for the sake of
keeping the postage money. For three months the
friends in England of those poor-fello-Ws were kept
in an agony of suspense until their arrival
home a few weeks since. A telegram from
England, and one from Calcutta, would have
prevented this suspense. No ono has failed to
notice the tone of anxiety of foreign correspon-
dence between friends and relatives', so unlike the
confidence of personal intercourse.-, The children
whom you inquire playfully after maybe dead and
buried, and their parents may be mourning the loss
when they receive your letter three weeks or two
months after it has been written. The dominion
which was given us over the inferior animals has
been surpassed by our power over the secret forces
of nature. We have tamed steam and trained light
for the purpose of rapid locomotion and obtaining
transcripts of all material forms, but the adaptation
of electricity to the concentration of instantaneous
intelligence of what is going on in different parts
of the globe is, perhaps, the most marvellous in-
stance of human power, and a comparatively cheap
telegraphic communication to the most distant
places will be one of the completest blessings which
Science ever conferred upon mankind.—.Daily

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTER SALL' S— MONDAY.
Looking at the return of the betting at head-quarters
given below it would appear that the season of 1862 had
commenced with some spirit, but such is not the case. The
attendance certainly presented a marked improvement,
many of the oldest members putting
in an appearance for
the first time, which gave an air of business and character
to the room that was hoped to prove productive of some
extensive speculation; but with the exception of the strong
demonstration that set in, just prior to the closing of the
room, in favour of Sir R. Bulkeley's colt for both of his
engagements, no feature of particular interest presented
itself during the afternoon.
For the Liverpool Steeplechase The Dane was not in such
demand, 10 to 1 being freely offered at the commencement
of business, but at the close 9 to 1 was the highest offer we
heard against him. Huntsman appeared to have a host of
friends, and was repeatedly backed in well-informed quar-
ters at all sorts of prices, but, as near as we could make out
at the finish, 13 to 1 would be his quotation. Thomastown,
the representative of the Irish division, was. much fancied
and backed for money, and left off evidently with a host of
friends behind him, and who will no doubt see a much
better day. Jealousy, as last year, appears to be the
" Marionette," first up, then down ; but this afternoon,
after a deal of fencing between the knowing division, we
believe her closing price was 100 to 6. Tippler was backed
for a small amount at '2O to 1, and 25 to 1 was accepted
about Mr. Rowan's Bucephalus.
'I HE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STAKES.—For this event the
only animals that came under our notice were Panique Land
Wildman. About the former 20 to 1 was laid, and fivii
points more were accepted about the latter to small amounts,
THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS.—OId Calabar appeared
all the rage, find towards post time an unmistakable anxiety
was manifested to get on. His opening price was readily
accepted, and at the finish 900 to 300 was accepted in ono
bet. The Marquis, notwithstanding the report indus-
triously circulated of his having betrayed evidence of tem-
per, &c., appeared in much better odour than last week, 9
to 1 being the highest offer we could gather the boldest of
his opponents professed to lay.
THE CHESTER CUP.--Little or nothing appears to be
doing upon this once important race. The after-Doon was
principally consumed in asking after certain animal easyt
was not until a late hour we were enabled to comp -
thing like a satisfactory return. Zodiac, evidently foi
money, must be looked upon as the better favourite; any'
thing over 20 to 1 would have been readily accepted, but
layers were extremely shy, and remained to wait another
day. No other movement of interest connected with
" The Coop" was made manifest, if we except a disposition
to get on the Vest colt, lladji, Stavros, and Chere Arnie,
the others enumerated in our return being backed for no.
minal amounts.
THE DERBY.--A strong reaction in favour of Old
Calabar set in during the afternoon. After his opening
price had been secured his friends mustered in some force,
and at last 8 to 1 in hundreds was taken, with a disposition
to go on ; but we imagine the bookmakers, having had but
little but Old Calabar to write in their ledgers, were sur-
feited with him, and declined to go on. This movement
made the Newmarket champion unquestionably the first
favourite, Buckstone's opening price being freely offered
without a reply. Ensign was supported for money at 21 to
1, and Lord Wilton's colt at 25 to 1, the latter having
zeta
host of admirers. Tolurno, Neptunus, Game, and Ze
land were entrusted for small amounts at 40 to 1 each, and.
Vanguard at 50 to 1 for £5O.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT DARLINGTON .—An
dent, causing the death of a goods guard on the Stockton
and Darlington Railway, named George Bell, occurred at
Darlington on Friday. From the Evidence adduced at the
inquest, held before Mr. WI. Trotter, coroner, it appeared
that the deceased had only left home to commence work
about aquarter of an hour, when being engaged in coupling
additional waggons to the pick-up goods train from Auck-
land to Redcar, ho was unfortunately caught between the
buffers, and literally squeezed to death. He was carried a
distance of about 20 yards in that horrible positlon before
assistance could be rendered him. After being extricated
he breathed twice, and died. A wife and five children are
left unprovided for. The coroner observed that it would
be well if a little of the Hartley sympathy was appropriated
to such cases as these, not that he wished to say anything
against the magnificent contributions that had
been raised
for the Hartley sufferers, but this W 95 a case which pro-
portionately deserved public attention and sympathy,
verdict of accidental death was returned.

THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 11, 1862.

It seems to have been one misfortune of the
Federal Government that the States which remained
faithfel to the Union, nevertheless, abounded in
traitors. While we heard, even at the beginning,
of but few Unionists in the South, we have never
ceased to hear of many traitors in the North. At
this moment Congress is discussing the expulsion of
one of its own members, Mr. BRIGHT, on the
charge of sympathy and correspondence with the
South. At Washington the ladies have been sub-
ject to great suspicion, and, as well as judges and
other professional gentlemen, have been either
confined in prison or been honoured with a sen-
tinel at their doors. Traitors are suspected every-
where, and the most extreme measures have been
adopted to prevent their treachery, The Rams
Corpus writ has been suspended on the sole
authority of the PRESIDENT, and Congress has
virtually acknowledged that it had no right to
interfere.

The consequence is that the political prisons,
Fort Lafayette being the most noted, are full of
political prisoners. All the " suspects" of all grades
ages, and classes, are crowded together in these
gloomy casemates. The picture given by Lord
CARNARVON of their condition, and on what he
says to be good authority, is gloomy indeed, only
second to that of the captives in the Black Hole at
Calcutta. In a chamber 14ft. by 24ft. twenty-three
of these accused but untried political prisoners were
confined, two-thirds of them in irons; their condi-
tion in regard to ventilation, besides the gloom of
the place, was intolerable. If the small windows
were opened the chill was unbearable; if they
were closed, the atmosphere of the crowded little
rooms became suffocating. There were not
even the ordinary provisions for decency, and
no bedding, or other requisites,
prisoners seem, indeed, to have been suffering,
without trial, the punishment of low
ow comforts.felns.
Many
e
of them being, too,
Persons, who had been accus-
tomed to every comfort of good
society. Taking,
as we feel bound to do, Lord CARNAlryoli,s authori-
ties to be satisfactory, the treatment of their pohti • •
.

cal prisoners by the Northerns is a disgrace to their
civilisation. However they may resent the wish of
the South for independence, and dislike to become
a free but smaller State, it is inexcusable to treat as
felons men who only differ from them on a grave
political question.
_ _ _

What brought the subject, however, before the
House of Lords is the fact that some British sub-
jects had shared this wretched imprisonment, and
had lain for some time, confined on suspicion,
while trial was refused them. Worst of all, they
had been required to abjure their allegiance to
Queen VICTORIA, and to swear allegiance to the
United States before they would be indulged with
a trial The explanation is on the whole satis-
factory, since, so far as Lord RUSSELL could ascer-
tain, there were real grounds of suspicion ;
in cases where it was proved that suspicion was
groundless, the parties were liberated, and in no
case was the oath of allegiance knowingly exacted
from a British subject. Lord LYONS had watched the
cases closely, and redress appeared to be easily and
promptly obtained. While nothing can excuse
such inhumanity as Lord CARNARTON described,
still it is not the business of England to interfere
with it. If Mr. LINCOLN chooses to rival King
BOMBA in regard to political prisoners, he
will surely enough have his reward. All
we can ask is that Englishmen shall
not be imprisoned from mere nor
subjected to unnecessary cruelties without proof
of their having violated the laws of the country
and the duties of neutrality. It is an unfortunate
thing that between Americans and us the proof of
nationality is not patent in language, complexion,
or features. Some cases of hardship may arise out
of this uncertainty, but it is only fair to confess that,.
Mr. SEWARD does not appear to have, knowingly,
imprisoned, ill-used, and compelled to objectionable
oaths any individual whom he knew at the time
to be a British subject.

1862 threatens to become frightfully remarkable
for its multiplicity of extraordinary accidents.
Hardly had the new year begun when all England
was appalled by the tidings of the burying alive of
200 miners, men and boys, in the new Hartley Col-
liery Pit. Scarcely had we realized the full horror of
that wholesale calamity, when a telegram from the
immediate neighbourhood brought the intelligence
of the hideous, but it was a comfort to think, in-
stantaneous destruction of an unhappy lady crushed
to death among the whirling machinery of an iron
factory. And now, almost within bowshot of our
office where we are writing, and as recently as one
o'clock yesterday there occurs an accident as eccentric
of its kind, and as deplorable in the agonising
mutilations caused by it, as any of which there has
been record for a long while past. It is the strange-
ness of these catastrophes, the unusual circumstances
characterising each in turn, that render them so
peculiarly entitled to more than passing considera-
tion as accidents of a wholly exceptional kind.
Exceptional, of course, strictly speaking, the two
dreadful calamities just particularised only are in
regard to the circumstances attendant upon them.
Not at all exceptional, unfortunately, either of
them in their origin. Often and often before
now we have had to relate the death
by suffocation of men and boys sud-
denly trapped in a coal-mine. Often and
often we have had miserable occasion to mention
as of recent occurrence the entanglement, and
death by mutilation, of poor factory girls among
the cogged-wheels and whirling straps, and throb-
bing pistons of the machinery in our mills and
factories. It is exceptional now, however, that two
hundred men and boys should have perished toge-
ther at " one fell swoop" in a coal-pit—as the
other day down at New Hartley. It is excep-
tional again when the female destroyed by
unguarded machinery in an iron foundry is not a
poor factory girl engaged there at her work, but a
chance holiday visitor, and that visitor the wife of the
owner of the works thus at once the scene and the
cause of her awful death by mutilation. The poor
lady thus fatally entangled in the machinery by
the trail of her garments, not in the recent case
being doomed to death (as has not unfrequently
happened before now even among the humble fn.
tory operatives) by the absurd use of crinoline—
the victim the other day, upon the occasion referred
to, being, in point of fact, as was certified
particularly at the time, a member of the Society
of Friends. It was merely, therefore, we repeat,
in consideration of the circumstances attendant
upon them that the two frightful casualties we have
been just now commenting upon can be regarded
--as by reason of their unusual circumstances they
certainly can be regarded—as exceptional.
Not so is it, however, in reference to the
singular and peculiarly deplorable accident of yes-
terday, across Waterloo- bridge, down in the
Waterloo-road, hard by Stamford-street. There
the accident, both in its origin and in the
circumstances attendant upon it from first to last,
was essentially exceptional. A distraint for rent
—a tankard of porter—a closed door—an endea-
vour to force an entrance through that closed
door—a crowd in the street suddenly collected
together to watch the course of events in this
miserable little disturbance—these are the preli-
minaries ! Suddenly an iron grating in the pave-
ment gives way under the unusual pressure of some
thirty chance spectators, men, women, and chil-
dren. Occurring as the accident did in the Water-
loo-road at the point indicated, when the grating
and the pavement around ,it gave way abruptly,
the victims of the casua!ty were not precipitated into
the depth of an ordinary area or coal cellar. They
dropped down an abyss of some 35 feet to the level
of Stamford-street—the mutilations caused by their
descent so far, pell-mell, and all huddled together,
and battered afterwards by the falling rails and
flagstones, being something lamentable even to read
the descriptions of. Broken limbs, fractured skulls,
here a crushed pelvis, there a spine all but dislo-
cated, these and other wounds of a more or less
frightful character at once gave ample employment
to the surgeons in the surrounding hospitals. As
upon the occurrence of every unusual accident, of
every accident either unusual in its origin or in its
attendant circumstances (and here it was, as we have
said, distinctly and obviously both) one of the first
thoughts naturally enough is—how the recur-
rence of anything of the kind can possibly be pre-
vented. It is easy enough to recognise in
the instance of the accident at the New
Hartley Colliery that the evil of the single
shaft system was the source of that dread
calamity, and that by rendering imperative
by Act of Parliament the working of any coal mine
in the United Kingdom with two shafts instead of
with one shaft, no two hundred men and boys can
by possibility be trapped again as those poor fel

ows were trapped the other day down in North=

berland. Again, in the instance of that poor lady's
death so soon afterwards in the immediate neigh-
bourhood—the remedy is obvious upon the instant,
it is the same remedy that.we so often have insisted
upon as requisite, viz., the due and proper " guard-
ing" of machinery. But in regard to the casualty
yesterday afternoon in the Waterloo-
that took place

road, nothing more can be suggested unhappily
than a greater display of vigilance in regard to the

in dangerous security of our streets, particularly
