THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY E',EINIING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1857

plements 37 eP..ch, respectively by Lieuta. Berkeley
and J. Murr.ay. These are all now being fitted out
for foreign, service, and are picking up their men as
fast as they can induce them to enter the service.
The supply, however, from ships paid off during
the month has been been scanty, for only one, the
Gorgon, 6, paddle, complement 165, was put out
of commission in August ; but there are great ex-
pectations from the crews of the Orion, 90, screw,
complement, 850 ; Curacoa, 30, screw, complement
320 ; Trincomalee, 24, complement 240 ' • and Pro-
metheus, 5, paddle, complement 100. There ate,
however, the Ganges, 84 ; Chesapeake, 51 ; and
one or two others, commissioned in July, to be
manned, as well as the six vessels before named.
In the home establishment, 30 supernumeraries
have been added to Capt. Pelham's screw steam
guard ship at Portsmouth, the Blenheim, and Cap-
tain Harris's training ship at Portsmouth, the Il-
lustrious, 20, has a complement of 130, instead of
92. There has been a small increase in the coast
guard ships. The complements have been slightly
reduced, but a dozen supernumeraries to the small
guard ships and 15 to the large ships have been
given, the increase being about 100 men altogether.
The Mediterranean force is the smallest at the
present moment that was ever known to be sta-
tioned within its limits. At the present time there
are actually on three line of-battle ships on the sta-
tion ; the fourth, the Conqueror, 101, screw, Capt.
H. R. Yelverton, was most injudiciously sent to
England with troops, but is now on her way back
to rejoin Lord Lyons. With the exception of the
flag ship Royal Albert, 121, screw ; Princess
Royal, 91, screw ; and Centurion, 80, screw, there
is not a man of war on this vast and important
station, from Gibraltar to the Danube, mounting
more than nine guns. It is just a senior captain's
squadron instead of an admiral's command. Dur-
ing August the force was further weakened by
sending home the Curacoa, 30, screw, Captain
Forbes, and the Arrow, 4, screw, Commander
Henderson ; and two other pendants, Boxer, screw
gun boat, and Supply, screw store ship, Master
Commander Balliston, aro ordered home. The
force there altogether musters only 21 pendants,
372 guns, and 4,240 men.
In the North American and West India stations
the Brunswick, 80, screw, from the Mediterranean,
has replaced the Orion, 91, Capt. J. E. Erskine'
the latter having arrived in Englund to be paid off.
Commodore Kellett, C. 8., has gone to the old
broad pendant stationary ship at Port Royal, the
Imaum, and has sent the Termagant, 25, screw, to
England (arrived last week) ; and the Falcon,
17, screw, Commander H. Campion, has also come
home, and has been paid off. The screw floating
battery Terror, 16, has gone to Bermuda to take
Capt. Hutton's pendant and the 80-horse power
screw gun boats, 41 men each. Jaseur, 1, Lieas.
Commander J. B. Scott, and Jasper, 1, L'eut.
Commander W. H. Pym, have taken their depar-
ture from England for service on this station ; the
Devastation, 6, paddle, Commander Marshall, has
likewise proceeded to the West Indies. Thus the
force has been somewhat increased-3 pendants, 7
guns, 130 men.
None of the ships ordered home from China, the
East Indies, or Australia, have arrived, but the
Pylades, 21, screw, complement 260, Capt. Michael
De Courcy ; Roebuck, 5, screw, Commander Mar-
tin ' • Assurance, 4, screw, 90, Commander Aynsley ;
and Sparrowhawk, 4, screw, Commander J. C.
Byng, have been dispatched to China. Shutting
out of the list the Raleigh, 50 ; the screw troop-
ship Transit; and the hired steamer Sir C. Forbes,
w e have a total of 62 pendants, 644 guns, and above
9,300 men in the China seas or en route, exclusive
of the six men of war, 148 guns, and 1,470 men
ordered home. We believe that tear-Admiral the
Hon. 11. Koppel, C. 8., is not officially placed in
the China forces for September. Capt. Forsyth is
to be superseded in the Hornet, 17, by Comman-
der M'Dowell, and Capt. Corbett, in command of
the Inflexible, 6, paddle, by Commander Brooker,
both on promotion.
At the Cape the Boscawen, 70, Captain Powell,
C. 8., for the flag of the commander in chief, Rear
Admiral the Hon. Sir F. W. Grey, K. C. 8., has
arrived by this time ; but only one of the three
vessels ordered home has arrived, and the Dart, 3,
brigantine. The Castor, 36, Captain Lyster, is en
route, but the Penelope, 16, Capt. Sir W. Wise-
man, Bart., is to go to the East Indies, with troops
if required, and likewise the Megasra, screw troop-

ship.
On the west coast of Africa, now a part of the
Cape command, Commodore Wise, in the Yesuvius,
6, paddle, has succeeded Commodore Adams in the
Scourge, 6, paddle, ordered home. By th, last
accpunts, however, the Scourge had arrivo'l at
the Cape, and it wasstated there that the Scourge
would go to the East Indies. Doubtless the ad-
miral would send her there with troops, if he
could get no other vessels, just as he has the di-
rection of sending the Penelope. The only other
vessel ordered home from the coast of Africa
station, the Prometheus, 5, paddle, Commander
Hope, has arrived in England, and wll ,be paid off
next week.

At the Brazils, by latest accounts, the comman-
der-in-chief, now • Vice-Admiral Wallis, in the
Cumberland, 70, Capt. J. B. Dickson, had not suc-
ceeded Rear-Admiral Hope Johnstone in the In-
defatigable, 50, Capt. T. Hope. The Rifleman, 8,
screw, _Lieut. Commander Christian, however, has
arrived in England, and will be paid off next week,
and by this time the Indefatigable is on her way
home. Another commander-in-chief will now be
appointed, for it is absurd to have a vice-admiral
commanding-in-chief half-a-dozen sea-going sloops
and brigantines.
In the Pacific,. the Satellite, 21, screw, Comman-
der Prevost, having relieved the Trincomalee, 24,
Capt. Houston, that ship has arrived in England,
and will be paid off next week.

THE LATE MURDER AT LEIGH WOODS,

NEAR CLIFTON.

On Sunday even;rig the pocket which had been
cut from the dress of the deceased woman was found
thrown over a wall in the park of Mr. J. H. Gre-
vile Smyth, of Ashton. There was nothing in it
but a stone.

Some additional light has been thrown on the
statement made by Mrs. Bowdon, which appeared in
The Sun, yesterday. It has been ascertained that a
vessel named the Express is due froli Quebec at
Appledore, but the name of the captain does not
correspond with the initials, " C. P.," found on the
linen of the deceased, being Johanssen. The city
police have also ascertained that a wo.nau answer-
ing the description of the deceased, accompanied
by a young sailor, arrived in Bristol on Thursday
night by the night train from the north, and that
they lodged for the night at the Bacchus tavern,
near the railway station. They left early the next
morning, and have not since returned. Mr. Peters,
the shipping master of Bristol, states that a sailor
came to his office on Saturday and offered to ship
on board a vessel for which a crew was making up.
Finding that he had no discharge, Mr. Peters re-
fused to take the man, but he remained in the
office, and seemed very anxious to be engaged.
When the crew had been completed, with the ex-
ception of one man, this sailor again came forward
and volunteered to serve without the usual advance.
On these terms, which are said to ba almost with-
out precedent, the services of the man were ac-
cepted, and he was shipped. The vessel, however,
has not yet left the port, so that the man can be
readily produced, if necessary.
Yesterday a photograph of the deceased was
taken, in the hope that it may assist in her identifi
cation ; but, having been deferred so long, it is
hardly likely to be of much service, the features be-
ing greatly discoloured and disfigured.
The inquest commenced yesterday afternoon be
fore Mr. B. Fry, who, in opening the proceedings,
complained of the dilatory process adopted by the
police in forwarding him information of the occur-
rence. He hoped that on any similar occasion the
overseer of the parish or the police would do him
the favour to forward a special messenger instead
of sending on the information from hand to hand,
by which, as in this instance, the news of the event
did not reach him till the middle of Saturday, and
had prevented him from commencing the inquiry
before to-day.
_ _

The jury having viewed the body, the following
evidence was adduced :

G. Wort, gamekeeper to Mr. W. Miles, M.P.,
said—On Friday last I was going my rounds in
Leigh-woods, and found the body of a woman about
30 years of age, quite dead. This was about a quar-
ter to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. I had passed the
spot the day before between 9 and 11 o'clock in
the morning, and am positive the body was not
there at that time. The body now lying at this
house is the one I discovered in Leigh-woods. •My
attention. was first attracted by seeing some blood
on the ground, which had been partially covered
over with dirt. I then saw a handkerchief near the

spot, which was dyed in blood. (The handkerchief
produced by Superintendent Jones had been washed
by him, and bore the initials "C. P."). I cannot
say that this is the same handkerchief. I left the
one I found in the coa,ch-house, where the body of
the deceased was firs; taken. I did not see the po-
lice-officer take possession of it. I looked over the
ground and saw fingermarks, as though some per-
son had gathered up the earth with which to cover
up the blood. I then thought these had been foul
play, and on further searching I noticed footmarks
with a bread heel, bat no nails near the spot. They
were evidently those of a man. On looking over
the rock, haying suspicion that some one had been
murdered, I saw the body of deceased lying on her
back in the quarry below. I ran away frightened
as soon as I saw it. I went and told J. Sage, a man
who lived near, what I had seen, and then commu-
nicated with Mr. Jones, superintendent of the
Ashton police. I went back with him and pointed
out the body to him. This was about half•past 7in
the evening. I should think the body had not been
killed that clay. I should say she had not been dead
more than 24 hours. The body was lying down
about 12 feet under the rock. When I saw it the se-
cond time there ware " flyblown" in the eyes and
nostrils. The throat had been cut. The hands
were cold and stiff. After the body had been got I
noticed a hole on the right side of the head, which
appeared to me to have been made by a bullet. I
assisted in conveying the body to the Rownham
Inn, where it was taken charge of, with the hand-
kerchief and boots of the deceased, by the police.
I took off the boots. The body was lying quite
straight, and the clothes were not disordered at all.
I did not hear the report of a pistol that evening.
The hair of deceased was dishevelled. The hand-
kerchief was saturated with coagulated Mood. I
did not see any bonnet, shawl, mantle, or cap near
the body, and have not succeeded in finding any
since. The boots were removed to see if they cor-
responded with the marks, but they did not.
By a Juror—There were no rings on either of the
fingers. There was a little blood on them.

Edward 'Tone., superintendent of the Ashton
police, deposed to the receipt of intelligence from
the last witness about the time stated by him on
Friday evening, and to the subsequent finding and
removal of the body. He also confirmed the evi-
deuce of Wort as to, the state of the body and the
appearance of
,the ground near the spot. In the
opinion of this. witness the body was not either stiff
or quite cold when. be first saw it, and on its being
lifted up a quantity of blood flowed from the wound
on the neck, and some of the blood on the arms and
sleeves of the dress was still wet. The witness iden-
tified the handkerchief and boots as those of the
deceased ; the former was marked with the initials
"C. P.," in red cotton ; and on examining the
body after the handkerchief had been washed, the
stockings, flannel, and chemise of the deceased
wore "found to be marked with the same initials.
On Saturday morning the body was seen by Mr.
Lucas, surgeon, of Long Ashton. Witness con-
tinued—When I first saw the body I noticed that a
portion of the pocket of the deceased's dress had
been cut out, and the upper part of the pocket was
hanging outside the dress. I produce a portion of a
pocket containing a stone, which was found by one
of Mr. Smith's keepers yesterday evening. I have
compared this piece with the portion of the pocket
which remains on the deceased's dress, and
find it corresponds exactly. On Saturday morn-
iug, between eleven and twelve, I went again
to the spot where the body was found, and
on further examination I discovered marks of
blood on the bushes which grow on the edge of the
precipice beneath which the body was found, and
also on some stones. There was a dint or mark in
the soil below, which I have no doubt was caused
by the head of the deceased in falling over. In my
opinion, the body was rolled down the precipice,
and afterwards laid out as it was found. A search
was made, in the woods, but I found no knife,
pistol, or other weapon, nor any artic!es of female
dress. The first time I noticed any "flyblows"
alive on the Lody was yesterday morning, about 9
o'clock.

Thomas Fry, gamekeeper to Mr. J. H. J. Smyth,
of Ashton-court, deposed to finding the portion of
the pocket, with a stone in it, in the course of yes-
tet day at the top of Rowuham-hill on the park
side, under the park wall. It appeared to have
beenfluna over the wall from the road into the p uk.
He gave the packet to Sergeant Drewitt, of the
Ashton police. The place where the pocket was
found was in the road to Bristol from the place
where the body was found.
Mr. Rudd Lucas, surgeon, of Long Ashton.—On
Saturday morning I made an external examination
of the wounds on the deceased, and found the ap-
pearances of a large incised wound across the throat
about six inches in length and from two to three
inches in depth. The large vessels on the left side
of the neck, I believe, were not divided. The
upper part of the windpipe was completely severed.
The external carotid artery on the right side was
divided as well as the internal carotid artery; and
the gullet was also wounded on the right side. I
noticed a wound on the right temple, apparently
produced by a billet. There was likewise a deprez-
Sioll of the bones of the head above the right ear
and a bruise or graze on the outer angle of the
right eye. The right eyelid presented the appear-
ance of the bruise commonly called " a black eye."
Tile cut in the thro-tt must have been mide with a
sharp instrument, such at; a knife or razz ; the hole
iu the temple was apparently caused by a bullet.
The body has not been stripped, and a post mortein
examination would in all probahility discover the
bullet, as there was no corresponding exit. I have
no doubt that death resulted from Vim injuries
which I observed, and that it is hardly possible the
deceased could have inflicted those iujurie upon
herself. s

By Mr. Gould, chief of the should say
that deceased had been dead aLout two days when
I fist saw the holy, on Saturday mottling. The
b'ack eye wai of recant date, and I balieve was pra-
dtrel either by the bullet or by the body being
thrown down the cliff immeiia'ely after deity. I
think the
I am of opinion that the throat had been cut twi,e,
delme.:sion'also was produced by the fall.
because the line of the incision in the skin divides
into two just at the right extremity of the incision.
Mav of the muscles on the side ally front of the
throat had the appearance of having been gnawed
away by some animal with small teeth, such as a
stoat or rat. _ _ _

By a Juror—The throat was cut from the loft to
the right, and both cuts were iu the same direction,
and from below upwards.
The Coroner then directed Mr. Lucas to make a
post morton examination of the body.
Mr. Gould thou stated that he had just received

nformation which led him to believe that the pro-
duction of any further evidence would be likely to
defeat the ends of justice, and therefore he asked
for an adjournment of the inquest.
The inquiry was accordingly adjourned till Sa-
turday next.

SPORTING INT2LLIGEN.CE

DONCASTER SEPTEMBER MEETING.

DONCASTER, Monday Evening.
" Upwards of 1,700 guineas, added money, given
at this meeting." Such is the announcement which
precedes the programme prepared by the racing
authorities at Doncaster that their liberality is
duly appreciated is attested by the long list of en-
tries which is appended to the different stakes,
and by the large number of horses located in the
vicinity of the town. Southern stables will not be
very numerously represented. From Newmarket
only one horse will, it is said, ba sent, whilst Win.
Day and others will not have a champion to do
battle fur them on Doncaster's far-famed Town
Moor. The training establishments of the North,
however, will be fully represented ; and, indeed,
the gathering wtll be e;sentialiy a Yorkshire one.
A Yorkshire mare is one of the favourites for the
Great Yorkshire Handicap, and Blintz Bonny and
Ignoramus, the leading favourites for the St. Leger,
are Yorkshire bred and trained. Indeed, these two
animals have given rise to a controversy as violent
in its character as that respecting the comparative
merits of the Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur, and
the St. Leger will therefore occasion an encounter
as exciting as that in which the Dutchman was com-
pelled to strike his colours before Voltigeur in the
memorable race for the Cup in 1850. The disturb-
ances in India will deprive the meeting of many of
its influential supporters. Still, to judge from the
crowd of visitors whith fills the high street, and the
long trains arriving in quick succession, the assem-
blage of company will not be perceptibly diminished.
The list of sport contains thirty items, and its at-
traction does not centre entirely in the St. Leger,
for to-day in addition to th 3 Handicap, the Cham-
pagne Stakes—an important two-year-old race—
will be decided. For this event Eclipse, a olt
much talked about in connexion with next year's
Derby will make his first appearance in public, a d
the fact of his having been so heavily backed for
the Epsom event, coupled with a report which
describes him as better than his stable companions,
Clydesdale and Sedbury, causes his debut to be re-
garded with much interest and curiosity. The
Fitzwilliam Stakes (the entries for which will be
found below) has been restored to its original form,
at the request, it is said, of Lord Milton, one of the
stewards. It is now a weight-for-age race, a de-
scription of " event," which we regret to state has
almost gone out of fashion. Handicaps have
superseded weights-for-age races, and no wonder,
for few horses could compete on equal terms with
animals of the Fisherman and Skirmisher class.

Southern sportsmen really regard the boast which
has bean made about the northern " cracks" for
the St. Leger with a kind of grim complacency, and
believe that one of their outsiders will upset all
calculations which may have been formed about.
the favourites. Adamas and Blink Bonny will
fight their Derby battle over again, and the result
will prove whether it•was chance only that enabled
Adamas to obtain the forward position which hadid
at Epsom. The recent rain has rendered the
ground somewhat sticky, and this circumstance
tends to inorease the uneasiness of the backers of
the favourites, and to heighten the expectations of
the fielders. It is probable that the number of.
starters will be larger than is anticipated. So long
ago as last year, a bet of six monkeys to four
(3,000/. to 2,0001.) was laid on Ignoramus against
Dawson's lot, who will, of course, have a represen—
tative in the lists. Should Blink Bonny win, how-
ever, she will accomplish that which has not yet
been achieved. To win the Derby, Oaks, and
St. Leger has never fallen to the lot of one
animal. People who like strange coincidences
may derive some amusement from the following
statement : Champion was the first horse that won
bolt Darby and St. Lager. In 1800 he won
the double event, and from that period down to
1848 the " Champion Charm" was not broken.
Surplice, a horse bred by Lord George Bentinck, in
that year won the northern and southern event, and
in 1849 and 1850 similar triumphs awaited the
Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur. An interval of
two years then elapsed before a Derby victor added
the St. Leger to his achievements ; but in 1853
West Australian accomplished the feat of winning
the three great races of the season, viz., the Two
Thousand, the Derby and the St. Leger. Since
that period the St. Leger has fallen to outsiders.
Champion won the two races iu 1800 ; in 1810
Eleanor carried off the Derby and Oaks ; and in
1853 Queen of Trumps won the Oaks and St.
Leger • and since that time those races have not
been Placed to the credit of one animal. Still, as
Surplice destroyed the " charm" which was popu-
larly supposed to prevent a Derby winner from
adding the St. Leger to his success and as
West Australian woe the three leading events
in his year, Blink Bonny may surpass the
Eleanor and Queen of Trumps triumphs,
by secur;ne, the Derby, Oaks, and St. Leger. The
cards for Thursday and Friday will present their
woneed features. On the last day the Cup will be
•run for, and the St. Leger victor or victiess will
perhaps appo it amongst the competitors.
Several alterations have been made in the Grand
Stand and enclosure, the most noticeable improve-
ment being the erection of outer rails to prevent
the mob from having communication with people
in the " ring."
Several important sales of blood stock will take
place during the week, and not the least interesting
proceeding will be the meeting to which the race
officials of the kingdom are invited to discuss the
present state of the turf. They will inaugurate
their business on the "Leger night" with the good
old English custom of a dinner. People are curious
to ascertain what measures of turf reform they will
suggest. Lieut.-Colonel Ousley Higgins, Major
Wortley, and James Merry, Esq., have consented
to preside on the occasion.

KEW AND BRENTFORD REGATTA.

This regatta this year was more than usually success-
ful, as some of t'4e gentlemen of the neighbourhood, as
well as giving their subscriptions, paid their entrance
money, formed a committee, who took part of the man-
agement, and rowed two races themselves. The racing
consisted altogether of twelve races, under the manage-
ment of George Williams and William Wapahot ; and
