BIRMINGHAM.  Late on Thursday night a murder, accompanied with circumstances of unusual atrocity, was committed in Bissell-street, Birmingham. The victim is a girl named Alice Insley, aged 17, who lived with her parents in a court in Bissell-street, and was employed in a jewellery warehouse in Lower Essex-street, and the murderer is Hoary Carter, alias Nobby Hall (not the fighting man who bears that cognomen), aged 20, a brass founder, living in Skinner-lane. For some nine months back he has been keeping company with the deceased, who was a very good-looking girl, and who did not look upon him with so much favour as he wished. On Thursday afternoon she went to the funeral of a relative, and when she returned home she was accompanied by Carter, who spent the evening with her at the house of her parents. During the evening all seemed to go on comfortably enough, and when Carter rose to leave the house, at about 11 o'clock, the girl went with him across the yard of the court, and to the end of the entry leading into the street. Here they talked together for some time, and a neighbour woman, who was standing outside the entry, heard Carter say to deceased, " Do you mean it, Alice?" and heard her reply" I do." A moment later she heard a pistol shot, and Carter then rushed past her into the street. She then went up the entry, and at that end of it nearest the court-yard she found deceased lying on the ground quite dead. The people who live in the court assisted in carrying the body of the poor girl into her father's house, and it was then found that she was shot through the back, apparently with a pistol bullet. Information was at once given to the police, who were in quest of the murderer until a quarter before one o'clock, but ockild not hear anything of him. At that hour, when a large crowd had collected on the spot where the murder was oommitted,Carter walked up hurriedly and was going up the entry when some one cried, oniliocnie-ceonntsthaeblwe aMs Ca pa pu rs leahnde dad' Where is she, I must see her," prisoner:eTs the That's s him.hwia sn At and Baying,'' hg,Pe and tried to break away from the officer and get into the house where the body no resistance to the apprehensionwas . lyiwingn,enbuht he was the other having searched there was found ' charged. In his his pocket a double..troool pistol, with one barrel loaded and evidentlytherebeenket also o recently foundd s anumber of percussion caps and some powder. When charged with having murdered the girl he admitted that it was him who had fired the pistol. It has since been ascertained that on Thursday afternoon the prisoner bought threepenny worth of bullets in Worcester-street, and that among them were two Minie balls, which just fitted the pistol, and one of which was in that barrel of the pistol which had not been discharged, while the other is missing. When he bought the bullets he showed the shopkeeper the pistol, and said he had bought it that day. A girl who worked with deceased stated that Alice had told her about a week ago that Harryhad threatened to take either her life or his own.  At the Birmingham Police-court yesterday morning, before Mr. J. C. S. Kynnersley, the stipendiary magistrate, Carter was brought up charged with murder, and was remanded to await the result of the inquest.
