THE BROOK MOOR MURDER.

DUDLEY, WEDNESDAY NIGHT,

Our readers, doubtless, will remember that in the
month of June last a man named William Collier
was discovered in a field between Brockmoor and
Hartshill, in such a condition as left no doubt that
he had been brutally murdered. His head was
completely battered in, and his brains protruded.
It was proved that he had, on the night before,
been seen in the company of a man named Jabez
Onions, who has not been seen since, although the
greatest exertions to find him have been used by
Colonel Hogg, the chief constable of Staffordshire,
and the men acting under his orders.
Yesterday the adjourned inquest upon the body
was resumed by Mr. T. M. Phillips, the coroner, at
Brockmoor House ; and in reply to questions it was
stated that the whereabouts of Onions could not be
discovered.
The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder
against some person or persons unknown, and
The coroner said he should take steps to induce
the Government to offer a reward for the appre-
hension of Onions.

NEW NASMYTII HAMMER AT PORTSMOUTH.—
We have been much interested by the inspection of a
model of a fifty cwt. Nasmyth • hammer, executed by
Henry Padbury, belonging to the s,iiths' department of
her. Majesty's dockyard at Portsmouth. This beautiful
piece of workmanship is on an inch scale, and represents
the Nasmyth of which Padbury ha 4. charge. It is made
entirely of wrought iron, and does treat credit to the skill
of its manufacturer. We understand that it is to be exhi-
bited at the Sailor'sHome.--ifeehanies' ilagazine.
FORTIFICATIONS AT GOSPOiT•—Three more large
forts are be forthwith commenced in the neighbourhood of
Gosport, which will complete the cordon of batteries in-
tended to surround this important port. Large cavalry
and infantry barracks are also to be built near the Gomer
Fort, which, with the extensive barracks just completed at
Gosport, and the numerous other military establishments
already existing, will form this promontory into an im-
mense place d'arines for the Smith of England.—Xechanics'
Magazine.
