DIABOLICAL MURDER IN SOUTHWARK.

• A murder of a diabolical nature has just been dis-
covered in the neighbourhood of .Gravel-lane, South-
wark, which has created great excitement in the locality.
From a strict inquiry, it appears that about eight
o'clock on Monday night last, as a little girl named
Hannah Morley, residing at No. 6, Bear-court, Gravel-
lane, opened the street-door, she discovered a large
bundle lying on the steps. She raised an alarm, and on
the wrapper, which consisted of a flannel petticoat,
being removed, the body of a young female child was
found to be inside. The attention of Sergeant Golden,
7 M, was called, and the body was removed to the
workhouse, in Marlborough-street.
Information was forwarded by Mr. ICibblewhite, sum-
moning officer and parochial beadle of Christchurch, to
Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, who gave
directions for an autopsy to be made prior to the inves-
tigation.
In consequence of this order, yesterday Dr. F. C.
Jones, No. 174, Blackfriars-road, proceeded to make a
post-mortem, examination of the body. He found the
lungs of a bright and natural colour, and that they floated
when placed in water, also that the left lung crepitated,
and on the right were several dark spots, indicative that
there the air cells, though formed, were not expanded,
and which left no doubt in his mind that the child had
lived some hours after birth. The body was fully deve-
loped, and the umbilical cord was left about a foot long,
and not tied. The tongue, which protruded, was black,
as were also the lips and nose. There was a contused
wound on the right temple the size of a shilling, and on
reflecting,the scalp, eccymose blood was found under the
wound. Dr. Jones says he was confident that the wound
was the result of a blow inflicted before death.
The case is in the hands of the 'police, and from the
statement of a man named Henry Rowland, who lives at
No. 3, Bear-court, it appears that a few seconds before
he heard the alarm on Monday night, a woman came to
his door, and asked if a Mr. Bi-aaley lived there. He
answered in the negative, and at the same time observed
a large bundle under the woman's shawl. She went away,
and hearing the alarm, he ran into the court, and ob-
served the only person there, excepting the inhabitants,
to be the woman who had just before left the place, who
was making a speedy retreat from the court without
the bundle which she previously carried. This
aroused a suspicion, and the woman was traced, and
found at No. 8, Griffiths-rents, Bermondsey-street.
She was conveyed to the station, where she gave the
name of Margaret Duggan. The case not appearing suffi-
ciently strong against her, she was set at liberty, and
watched home by the police, and up to last night she
was under the surveillance of the officers, who are making
every inquiry, incognito, to bring the guilty and unnatu-
ral offenders to justice. It is expected that for more
safety the woman Duggan will be apprehended and
placed in safe keeping this morning until the result of
the inquiry is made known.
There are strong circumstances of a grave and suspici-
ous

nature against Margaret Duggan. The one is that
she had previously cohabited with the man Braille
lives at No. 1, Bear-court ; and the other, that 3:3

_ India. According to a minute fironf
_Ale Governor-General dated in April last, it appears
Dr. O'Shaughnessy, the Deputy Assay, Master at the
Calcutta Mint, has constructed 82 miles of experimental
lines with such economy aid success as to induce the
Court of Directors in London to determine upon the
formation of new lines to the extent of upwards of 3,000
miles, to connect the various seats of Government, the
three Presidencies, the North-Western Provinces, and
lie Punjaub. In the report of Dr. O'Shaughnessy,
which has been transmitted to the India House, the
full details are given of the methods of construction
he has adopted, and which Lord Dalhousie describes as
remarkable alike for their simplicity, cheapness,
and perfect efficacy. The works already completed in-
volve lengthened river crossings (the Huldee and the
Ifooghly), and for these portions a gutty percha covered
wire, secured in the angles of a chain cable, is employed,
and is found to afford complete protection against the
grappels of the heavy native boats which incessantly
pass machodown, and are often compelled to drag
their rs. It is, however, in the laud portions of the
lines that Dr. O'Shaughnessy's methods present the
greatest divergence from any that have been hitherto
used either in England or America. Ho uses no wire
whatever, but employs instead a thick iron rod three-
eighths of an inch in diameter, and weighing one ton to
the mile, while for supports bamboo sticks are adopted in
place of the ordinary posts. The advantages gained by
the rods are immunity from fracture by gusts of wind
or ordinary mechanical violence, and the absence of any
necessity for insulation, owing to the free passage which
the mass of metal gives to the electric currents, while in
point of expense they do not involve any increase of im-
portance. They cost 101. per mile, and 21. 10s. for
welding ; and this, it is stated, falls far below what
would be expended on the winders, insulators, zincing,
and straining posts absolutely necessary on a wire line.
In experiments with wires they have been found to be
broken by every north-wester, while in the hurricane of
1851 not a single rod was damaged. The fact that they
cannot bebroken or bent withoutgiving great trouble, and
requiring the use of smiths tools, is likewise of the utmost
importance in a country where the lines must not only
traverse districts where they cannot be protected against
idlers, but also wildernesses inhabited only by wild
beasts. As regards the value of the bamboo, as corn-
pared with the ordinary timber posts, the results are no
less striking. It is
_44 so durable • but, allowing, for
the necessary replacement, its costis oil little Mere than
"--a'fifth of that for posts. It was at first employed only
-with a temporary view; but the way in wltic.l it was
found to resist the severest storms, which uprooted
trees and levelled houses, soon led to the conviction that
it was superior to any other material. In the hurricane
of 1851, already alluded to, and which caused un-
paralleled damage at Calcutta, not a single bamboo
on the lines was broken. "It was the realisation
of the fable of the bulrush and the oak ; the bam-
boo bent slightly to the hurricane, and rose erect
when its violence had ceased." With regard to the
instruments used at the stations, it was found that
in a country like India, unless they could be reduced
to such a condition of simplicity that when deranged
they could be set right by mere school-boys, and with-
out the aid of a mechanic, regular and sustained corre-
spondence would be totally impracticable. Accordingly,
after trying and discarding every English and American
plan, and being reduced almost to despair, Dr. O'Shaugh-
nessy contrived a little single needle horizontal tele-
graph, which has since been in use at all the stations,
and which works in all weathers without danger of in-
terruption. "It sometimes," he says, " becomes dis-
ordered, but it is changed, or replaced, or cured' in a
few seconds by the signallers on duty ; and, if totally
destroyed, is but the loss of 65." A battery of 12 to 20
pieces of platinum wire with zinc plates suffices to work
the lines through the heaviest rain and most violent
storms, and-the total cost of a complete set of instru-
ments of every kind for each station, comprising battery,
reverser, telegraph, and alarm, is less than 101. The
outlay for construction of the lines themselves, in-
dependently of river-crossings has been at the rate of
421. per mile ; but, with the experience obtained, it
would, for the future, not exceed 351. per mile for a
single, and 551. for a double line. The revenue thus far
derived from the 82 miles opened has exceeded the
highest expectations. The monthly cost amounts to
921., and this has been almost exactly met by the re-
ceipts, so that the whole of the Government correspond-
ence has been conducted without charge. Under these
circumstances, Dr. O'Shaughnessy considers that a
double line along the valley of the Ganges to Alla-
habad, and rid Agra to Bombay, would yield a large
profit, especially if the rate of charge were low and
uniform, not exceeding 2s. for each message of 16 words,
whatever might be the distance through which it is trans-
mitted. In the view thus stated Lord Dalhousie ap-
pears perfectly to concur, and he has expressed the
" intense desire he has felt, ever since the first report on
the subject was submitted to him, to see the main line
of electric telegraph between Calcutta and Peshawur,
Bombay and Calcutta, and Madras and Calcutta, fairly
commenced before he quits India during the present
year." This desire, it is to be inferred, will be fulfilled,
the Court of Directors having, about four months back,
given all the necessary orders here for the preparation
and shipment of the materials for lines of 3,150 miles,
leaving it to the Governor-General in Council to decide
upon the precise routes that should be adopted.—Tinteit.
