Reader, remember, this letter was put Int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hal ris much stronger and more luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I ls. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itt far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the abovefact'.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w Imps on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, aid prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the air brilliancy, canning it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs aid flowers with confidence ; its refreshing •dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of novena headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an tour In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces ir on children's heads in a few appplicatione. If used on infants' leads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent' convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

At the desire of the Lord Mayor, Lieutenant Jack son, of the Royal Navy, attended his Lordship in consequence of the reports of the efficacy of Sir Wil liam Burnett's disinfecting fluid in preventing the spread of disease in localities infected with cholera. Lieutenant Jackson presented his Lordship with two series of reports on the effects of the disinfecting fluid of Sir William Burnett, director general of the medical department of the navy, which were published by order of the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, together with a vast number of corroborative statements, as testimonials of undisputable weight to the efficacy of the chloride of zinc in the destruction of deleterious miasma and the extinction of the causes of epidemic disease. Amongst a great variety of in stances alluded to were the following : In a house in St. Andrew-street, Plymouth, occu pied by 52 persons, where the cholera had made its appearance, the chloride was used for the purpose of attempting to purify the place. It was sprinkled about every room except four, in which the occupants would not permit it to be applied, the result of which was that in those parts of the house where it had been used not a single case of cholera has since occurred, while in the four roams alluded to the disease still exists, and some deaths have taken place. There were numerous cases of a similar kind in the same town, and so con vinced were the medical gentlemen who have the charge of the Cholera Hospital there, of the utility of the chloride, that on their recommendation the Plymouth board of health had ordered, a large supply from Lon don for the use of that establishment. One of the principal surgeons spoke of the fluid in the following manner :—" I am thankful to say I have found its use of the utmost importance in almost magically dissipating the unwholesome and offensive smells arising both from the external and internal excretions and exhalations of the human body suffering from cholera. Its good effects were not only observable upon those already attacked with disease, but in checking a further spread of this dreadful malady among those in attendance and about the sick ; and I have no hesitation in bearing testimony that many valuable lives have been spared by its use which otherwise would have fallen a sacrifice. Since the 18th ult. I have had under my care nearly 400 cases of cholera and cholera-diarrhoea, many of which were strongly marked by symptoms of extreme virulence and malignity. However, lam rejoiced to say, that only 16 of that number have fallen victims to the disease." The Lord Mayor said the statements of Lieutenant Jackson, and those from whom he had quoted, were confirmatory of the description he had heard of the fluid from high authorities in London, and would, he was sure, command the attention of the boards of health throughout the country, especially as they were so powerfully sanctioned and recommended by the Lords of the Admiralty. Lieutenant Jackson begged to allude to the testi mony borne by the surgeons of the Woolwich convict establishment, who tested its great utility in the hos pital ship, in which the chloride of lime had been used previously, and stated that the chloride of zinc was far more effective. The chloride of lime was not only offensive to many, but was injurious to persons afflicted with pulmonary complaints. The Lord Mayor said he had used the fluid at Whitefriars Dock and other places, of the offensive effluvium from which such serious complaints had been made, and he had witnessed its extraordinary power in removing the cause of complaint. He was convinced that the adoption of the fluid in parish workhouses, and all institutions in which numbers were necessarily congregated, would be attended with great advantage to the public ; and he should direct that notices should be printed and sent to the paro chial officers of the City, stating that upon application they should be supplied with the fluid, and if the Cor poration hesitated to pay, he would himself defray all the expense incurred. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners are about to make an' . inquiry into the present condition of all the cathedral schools throughout the kingdom. LIFE OF THE NOTORIOUS " PHIL DIXON," DICTATED BY HIMSELF. (From the Shropshire Conservative.) [The subject of the following autobiography was convicted at the last Chester Assizes of having re turned from transportation before the period of his sentence had expired, and now awaits at Knutsford his removal to a penal settlement.] Chester Castle, Aug. 10, 1849. I was born in the year 1820. My parents were poor people, and lived in Chester, of which place I am a native. When I was seven years of age I was sent to the Rev. Mr. Briggs' school, in Queen-street. My father was for some time a Pro testant, but through my mother's influence became a Roman Catholic, and in this faith I was brought up. I continued at this school until I was about twelve years of age, and soon after this I lost my mother. There were five of us in the family ; three of whom were living at home at Boughton. My father was given to drink, and left us all in a destitute condition, so that from twelve years of age I was left to get my living in the best way I could. One day I was in the market, and Miss Currie sent me home with some flowerpots—this was on a Sa turday. She told me to come again to my dinner on the following day, Sunday. She wished me to go to church, and I went. She then told me to come the next day. She appeared to be interested in me, and shortly after she brought me a suit of livery, and engaged me as her servant. After I had lived with her nearly twelve months, she told me one day not to go into the town, as the cholera was very bad. Against her will, and unknown to her, I went in my livery—this was at Boughton wakes, and was the commencement of my bad career. I did not return to my situation, but after I had spent all my money in drinking and debauchery, I went home to my father's house, who was also a great drunkard. . Had it not been for the common small ale houses, I should never have been brought into these troubles—in these I spent my money card playing, dice, and gambling of every description, and was associated with a number of bad women of the town. After I had spent my money, I went and slept in any outbuildings or stables wherever I could get, until I became filthy and as black as a sweep. Mr. Hassell, from Abbey-court, knew that I was in service at Miss Currie's, and seeing me in such a filthy condition, he called me to him and said, if he promised to get me back again to my situation would I go and conduct myself as a good boy. I said I would. He took me to Miss Currie's, and went in and spoke to her whilst I remained outside, and shortly after they both came out and ordered me to get my supper. I continued with her a month or two longer— she was an excellent good lady, an d was more than a mother to me. She would have made a man of me had I taken her advice. I always went to church with her every Sunday, as my mistress was very particular in this, and we had prayers in the family. One Saturday, when returning from the market, I met with one of my old companions, who wished me to meet him at the Coach and Horses in Boughton, as there was a raffle for a copper tea-kettle that evening. I left my place again, got drunk, and never returned to my situation. Miss Currie fre quently saw me, and asked me whether I was in work. I always said yes ; at the same time I was not. I had now pawned my livery, sold my boots, hat, and shirt, and spent all my money with bad women. Shortly after this I was enticed away by some gipsies, and went tramping about the country. The first night I staid with them was in Hoole-lane. They put me to lie on some straw under the cart; and before I went to bed the women came home with plenty of broken victuals of all sorts, such as beef, mutton, &c., which they got by telling fortunes. They spoke a language to each other which I did not understand. I used to put their horse and ass in a field at night, and was called up about three in the morning to bring them back again. If any hay was seen in the field I was always sent to bring it to the camp. I was frequently sent to pilfer beans, potatoes, turnips, fowls, and anything else I could meet with. I travelled with them into Wales, and into Warwickshire. We then returned again into Shooklach, near Malpas, when one night they all got drunk and had a regular fight amongst themselves, and I ran away off to Chester. I went to Birkenhead, and had about 4s. or .ss. in my pocket. I started over to Liverpool, and got with a regular gang of thieves in Banister-street, at a lodging-house. After I had been there for a night or two, one of the lads asked me if I would purchase a pocket-handkerchief. lie showed it to me. I said it was the wrong sort. lie then pulled out several others, and asked me if any of them would do. I told him he had better pawn them. I knew he had stolen them. He did so, and on the following day (Saturday) I went into the market with several of them to see what we could pilfer. We had not been in long, before we went and bought some fruit at a stall, and the woman that kept it shouted and fainted ; the others left me, and ran off to the lodging-house, and I followed them, and found they had picked her pocket, and stolen from her 61 18s., of which I received 203. I then returned to Chester the following day, and went to live with Mr. Sneade, the butcher, in Flookersbrook. I did not remain with him more than about three months. I then went to live with Mr. Snelson, in Bridge- street, as ostler. I was angry with my master, and after I had lived with him about three months, I left him. I was then about fifteen years of age. Shortly after this I lived with Mr. Cope, in Boughton, and bought old iron and stores. I was with him, on and off for about three years, when I became acquainted with my wife. I was very fond of drink, which indueed me to commit many small robberies, such as picking pockets, stealing from the shops, going into confectioners, and stealing cakes, &c. Going down John-street one day, I went into the yard of Mr. George Harrison, surgeon, and there saw a large brass mortar. I bought it from him, as it was too heavy for me to carry, otherwise I should have stolen it, as I had many opportunities of doing so, and often tried, but I could not lift it. I gave him ss. for it, but it was worth 1/. 1 ls. Bd., which sum I got for it from Mr. Cope. After this I went to work on the Birkenhead Railway. I then saved about .51., a good suit of clothes, and a watch. When I was about eighteen years of age I got married. After this I bought a barrow and dogs, and I went to fairs and races. I then commenced gam bling and everything that was bad, such as fighting, drinking, and stealing. I was a good boxer, and often got well treated for fighting by rich and poor. I had often been in Chester prison for fighting and getting drunk. I was convicted once at Knutsford, and got one month, for stealing two sovereigns from a man that was drinking with me at Tarvin. When I was at Wrexham fair I got acquainted with Conolly. We came to Chester, and went to the brewhouse near to the walls. It is just close to Mr. Huxley's brewery. We unlocked the door of a pri vate house with a false key. We searched the house, but could not find anything that he wished to take. Then we broke into Mrs. Rutter's house, for which we were both convicted. We stole about 2521. 2s. in money and plate. The night we took it, we went and hid the plate; the jewellery we stole I threw away; we hid the plate in Garden-lane, near to the college. The third night a fter the robbery was com mitted the servant girl was taken up, she had in formed Conolly where everything was to be found in the house ; Conolly was courting her ; they lived in Handbridge, but not in the same house, and she gave him all the information about Mrs. Rutter's house. For this we were both tried and sentenced to fifteen years' transportation; but we cleared the girl before the magistrates. I was so dreadfully distressed in my mind concerning my wife and children, that I was quite tired of my life, and attempted to commit suicide in the dock at the Town-hall, during the time of my trial ; it was with a razor which I picked up in the city gaol, and which I believed belonged to one of the prisoners. I feel now that it was through the mercy of God I was not permitted to do so ; I am thankful that lam spared, as it would have been an awful thing to have committed suicide. I do not say I will not attempt to make my escape again, as I am willing to suffer anything—any hardship—so that I may be with my wife and family again. I will lead a different life for the future, for my own sake, and for the sake of my dear wife and children. lam quite convinced if it were more "generally known what hardships a transport has to endure there would be less crime committed. The two years that I have already suf fered convinces me that no greater trials can possibly be endured by a human being. Death is far more preferable. I was removed from here shortly a ft er my trial to Millbank prison, where I was kept in solitary con finement, but had plenty of good books to read, which were the means of bringing me to think se riously of my past life, and what I had brought my self to. In consequence of my good conduct I was removed with nine more, out of about 1,400 prisoners, to Portsmouth, to the York hulk. Here I remained for nearly twenty months ; d urin g this time I saw 14 convicts so severely flogged that the flesh came from the backbone, and were immediately sent out with the other convicts to work again, all for bad behaviour. On one occasion I was present when a convict of the Connor. name of Hatter murdered our g uard, jam" I seized the mallet out of his hand at the time, but it was too late—the poor guard was dead. For this flatter was tried at the Winchester Assizes, con demned, and hung. I was still very unhappy, and whilst many of my fellow-sufferers were fast asleep in their hammocks 1 was thinking of my poor wife and children, and con triving in my mind how I could make my escape from that place. I was in the day time working on the gun wharf, and there I picked up a file ; and I concealed it under my sleeve and brought it in. The following night when all was still and quiet I began filing the bars of the port window of the ship, but dare not do much at a time, lest I should be heard. The next night I did the same. I generally embraced the opportunity of working at this when the tide might be coming in and the wind made a noise, so that the guard should not bear me from the quarter-deck. When I had finished a certain portion of my filing 1 filled it up with brown soap, which was the colour of the paint on the bars. I found I could not get on so well as I wished that night, so I concealed myself under the hammock on the Thursday evening, when all the prisoners went to chapel. During this time I did a great deal of work towards getting the iron bars from my window. I had them all finished on the ninth night. I got up about twelve o'clock to get through the window and jump into the sea, but the tide was going out at a very rapid pace, and the wind was so very high that I was obliged to give it up for that night. I was, as I suppose, seen by some of the prisoners putting in the soap the next morning, and as I came up on deck I was stopped by one of the officers. One of them went down into my ward and found the iron bars had been out. They brought me before the captain ; they put a pair of cross irons upon me. I kept them on, and worked in them and slept in them for three months. They then shifted me into the dock yard, where they thought I should be more secure, but I knew better, for after my irons were taken off, I resolved a second time to make my escape, for I could not forget my poor wife and children ; they were constantly before my mind. I was:determined to get some clothing out of some of the men•of-war ships which were in the dockyard. In this I succeeded, and got a shirt, a cap, a handkerchief, and an old pair of trousers. I concealed them in my own cell, one by one, at different times, and kept them in my hammock until I could find an opportunity of making my escape."l I got up one morning about three o'clock, and dressed myself with the clothes I had stolen, and put my convict's dress over them. At the time we mustered, which was always about seven o'clock in the morning during the winter, the guard searched me, and I passed. I got into the boat, and was again detected ; was called on the quarterdeck, and was stripped naked. I was again ironed, and put into the black hole, and was kept there fourteen days and nights upon a pound of bread a day and plenty of water; seven of these days I did not see daylight, but the other seven days I was allowed to exercise an hour in the day. After the expiration of these four-- teen days, I was brought out of the black hole, and when I got on deck, 1, for the first time in my life, fainted. The irons were kept on me. I was then under the doctor's care for about three weeks. After this I went to work as usual, with about 201bs. weight of iron upon me for full three months. During this time my wife came to see me ; I was cut to my heart on account of her great distress of mind. She wept bitterly when she saw the heavy irons upon me, and told me that both her and her children were almost in a state of starvation, as the parish would not allow them sufficient to support them. I thought to myself, when I saw her, I will try again to make my escape, for her sake and for the sake of my dear chil dren. I could not rest night or day on their account. After having seen her, I became more determined and desperate than ever. I was again set to work in the dockyard with light irons. I considered a plan one night when in my hammock, and which I was resolved to try the next day, although I had several guards to pass, and a very long way to swim. I prayed that God would assist me through it for try family's sake. Consequently, on the following night, when we had left off work to go into the small boat which always took us from our work to the ship, the York, which was on the 25th of November, instead of going into the boat I ran up to the piles under the jetty, up to my middle in water, where I remained for about an hour and a half. When the boat was pushed off to return to the hulks, I heard the guard say, where is Dixon ? I heard one of them say, " He has done us at last, for he is not here." When they came on shore they were over my head, and again exclaimed he has done us. '('hey asked a soldier whether he had seen one of their men, and he said no. All this time I was in the water. I was afraid to use my file to take off my irons, lest the soldier above might hear me. Presently the drum on board the Victory was beaten, as is usual. I then began to use my file, and got my irons off. As soon as it became dusk (it was very foggy) I began to strip. I uttered up a few words in prayer, and cast myself into the water. The tide was coming in very strongly. I went at a rapid rate, and had to pass by a guard on board the Illustrious, and several other guards higher up the harbour. After I had been in the water about a quarter of an hour I heard a gunshot. After this several more had been fired, I thought they were all coming to me. I then thought it was all up with me. I was alarmed ; but I believe it was only in consequence of the Queen having visited Portsmouth that day, and they were taking down the standard. I was so much terrified at this shooting, that when I passed by the King George's Yacht I fastened myself to one of the buoys; it was, however, so very cold, that I was obliged to let go, and plunge again into the great deep. I ultimately landed at Porchester Castle, a distance of about five miles from the dockyard. When I got out of the water I was almost exhausted, forced to lie down for a considerable time, as I had nearly lost the use of my arms. I then started off naked. I think it must have been about nine o'clock p.m., and I tra velled on some distance, when I heard the footsteps of some one, and it struck me it was one of the guards on the Portdown Bridge, where a file of soldiers are always kept. I returned back again, and went over a small hill, at the bottom of which was a small river, about as wide as the Dee. I swam across this river, which I found much more cold than the sea. I went over hedges and ditches, quite naked, until came in daylight; I then got into a pig-stye, and covered myself over with straw, and remained there until night, without food or drink, and several thorns in my feet. I then started off again, and travelled all night, until I got to a farm-house, and made my way into one of the stables, where I found an old smock-frock, which I gladly put on me. Here I remained all day. This was the third day I had no food. Going over Epsom race-course, I saw a policeman ; I turned down a lane before he could see me, and got into a cottage, where I found an old woman. I begged for mercy and pardon. She took me to the fire ; she gave me a pair of stockings, a cap, and an old pair of shoes. I travelled on ; but was so much fatigued, that I was obliged to go to a house, and beg far a piece of bread. I got some, with some cheese. On my way onwards, I saw a man with some cattle going to London. I helped him to drive the cattle, and he gave me 4id., being all he had. I wanted a night's rest, and went to a lodging-house on the road. I asked the woman how much my lodgings would be. She said 4d. I had only then one halfpenny left ; with this I bought some apples. I went to bed, and had a good night's rest, and started off early next morning for London. When within a mile of the town, I stopped at some common, and there was a load of coal brought to a house. I got the coals in for them, and received 6d. and something to eat. I then went into London, and found out a man whose brother was a convict, and who had told me where he lived. He gave me clothing, plenty to eat, and 10s. to start me off. I started off the day after, and went by the way of the canal until I reached Oxford. I stayed one night on the road. I travelled on to Banbury, and from there I went to Warwick. Here I got 2s. for taking charge of some cattle in the fair. Next day I got 3s. 6d. to take some cattle to Birmingham. I had now 7s. 6d., and laid it all out in steel pens. I then wrote to my wife, and informed her where I was; and I went out hawking my pens, and cleared 3s. the first day. I travelled on towards Wolverhampton, and earned about 4s. more; and got rid of all my pens. I wrote to my wife to meet me at Wolverhampton. In the meantime I bought three umbrellas ; I sold them, and was able to purchase five more the next day. At night, my wife not having yet arrived, I be came very unhapppy and almost mad, as I found I was as badly off as ever. The following day I went out again on the turnpike road, and there met my wife coming to meet me from Chester; it was, indeed, a happy meeting. We travelled on together to New port, where I carried on hawking my umbrellas. My wife soon returned to Chester. She endeavoured to get my children sent off by the parish at Boughton, but did not succeed. I received a where I understand Mr. Hill, superintendent of police, arrived there in search of me. Eager to get my poor child ren, I g ot nearer and nearer to Chester , w ithin 20 miles, at tr Whitchurch, where I again met with my wife. Soon one cameh into u g t h aftereouse, t e e hr o w u e s had e got th r o o u u r g s h u t p h p e e r f r t o h n e t dpolicemanand h c em the back. I saw them both; they took hold of my wife. I heard her shout out " Let me alone, what have I done." At this I leaped over the garden wall and went off to Werra. Here I remained for about a week, and made my way to Shrewsbury, from thence to Welahpool. It being market day, I was in the market-place, when one of the police of the town asked me whether I knew Phil Dixon, as he heard he was in town. I referred him to a man at an orange stand, and told him that he came from Chester, and no doubt would tell him all about him. I then made off again, and went to Newtown ; here I remained for a few days hawking umbrellas, and found that I was known by some persons that kept stalls in the market ; so I soon left there and went to Machynlleth. Shortly after breakfast I saw two policemen, on e f ro m N e wtown. I was afraid they were after me. I went out and shook hands with the Newtown policeman. He spoke to me and appeared very much afraid of me. I got into the b ac k yar d an d s t ar t e d o ff f o r Aberystwith. I afterwards heard that five officers came down and took u p anot h er man i n m i stake f or me. At night I arrived at a house on the road where none of the family could speak English. I had to show them my money, and put my hand to my mouth to say I wanted something to eat. Next morning I arrived at Aberystwith. I went on to the iron works at Merthyr, where I got work at a Mr. Crushar's, and earned 15s. a week. I remained here two weeks and got leave to go and get my wife and children. I started off, and on my way I met with a man who hawked cloth; with him I went to Bala, on my way towards my wife. I happened to go with this man to an ale-house, where we met with a man that had robbed this hawker that I was with o f 51. ; I struck him for doing this. He , sai d—" Very w e ll, Di xon, you will remember this.' I was shortly after this followed by about 200 men and was taken into custody, and was very ill treated and beaten. I was asked my name ; I told them it was James Edwards. Next morning I was brought before the magistrates, and this-man that I had beaten was there, and he told them who and what I was: When I heard it I fainted, as I had not been able to see my poor children ; all m y anxiety was about them. I was immediately put into heavy irons ; Mr. Hill was sent for, and I was brought to Chester. I did not rob Sir Edward Walker, but I think I know who did. I may tell some day, but not now. Plume DIxoN. Signed in my presence this 11th day of Aug., 1849. Chester Castle. H.S. Josgru, Chaplain. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The police having ascertained within these last few days that Maria Manning has asserted that her hus band sent her away on the Monday after the murder, inquiries were ordered to be made respecting that statement, and Burton, the officer, who has been ac tively engaged since the discovery of the murdered man, ascertained yesterday that she left Minver place during the absence of Manning. Matilda - Wellden, servant to Mr. Bainbridge, the broker of Bermondsey square, informed the police that on Monday morning, the lath of August, about eight o'clock, Manning came to her master's house and remained till half-past ten. He came back at half-past three o'clock, and engaged the apartments, when he sent her to 3, Minver-place to fetch Mrs. Manning. The girl could not find the house, and on her return to Mr. Bainbridge's, about five o'clock, she found Manning there, and told him so. He got up, and said he would go and fetch her himself. He accordingly left Mr. Bainbridge's, and returned in about twenty minutes with a bottle of brandy in his hand. He seemed much excited, and when asked about bis wife he said that she had " cut" into the country, and left him. Mrs. Scofield, of 12, New Weston street, opposite the scene of the murder, said that at about five o'clock on Monday afternoon, the 13th ult., Manning went to his house and knocked at the door. Finding that he was not admitted by his wife he came to her house and asked where she was gone. She told him that his wife left in a cab about three o'clock with several boxes. He seemed much excited, and went to No. 2, Minver-place, passed through that house,und climbed over the back wall into his own. Mrs. Page, the occupier of No. 2, Minver place, in formed the police that Manning was smoking his pipe on the wall till near half-past five o'clock on the afternoon of the 9th instant. He talked to her about some railway shares that he was possessed of, and alluded to his disposing of them and going into the country. While he was talking a loud knock was heard at the door, when he jumped off the wall, and exclaimed "Oh, I forgot that I have an appointment with a gentleman this evening." She saw nothing wore of him that day, but during the night she beard a deal of scuffling in the kitchen, and a little after midnight the noise attracted hrr to the back window, when she perceived a light in Manning's back kitchen, and distinctly saw shadows of a man and woman in a stooping position. The evidence of these persons will be banded to the solicitor of the Treasury, and no doubt they will be examined at the Southwark Police-court on Saturday. Yesterday morning Inspector Yates received the following curious letter from Bolton, in Lancashire, relative to the murder : "Bolton, Sept. 11. " Sir,—ln a cellar underneath the house where the body of O'Connor was found is concealed the pistol wi►h which the murder was committed. Should the informa tion be correct, publish it immediately, and I Rill send you more information, detailing the particulars of the affAir, which I am enabled to do by the aid of a Clair voyante. "Your obedient servant, ww . , "P.S.—The clairvoyante says that there are three cellars underneath the house, and she could not see the end of the ono in which the pistol is hid. Search, and you will find it." What makes this letter rather extraordinary is that there are three cellars, and one of them had not been minutely searched. In conseqnence Burton was directed to search the cellars minutely. During Burton's search yesterday afternoon, with Mr. Cole man, the son of the landlord of No. 3, Minver place, he perceived some spots and streaks of blood on the wall opposite the back kitchen door. The finding of these marks corroborates Manning's statement re specting his wife's conduct towards Mr. O'Connor, " that she induced him to go down stairs to wash his hands, and just as he had reached the passage lead ing to the kitchen, she put one hand round his neck and shot him with the other." The marks of blood are very thick, and it is supposed by Burton that O'Connor, after being shot, must have fallen against the wall, and that he was then struck with some heavy instrument. It is very strange that these marks were not discovered before by ,the constables who searched the house, as they are very prominent near the back kitchen door. On Tuesday Mr. Binns, Manning's solicitor, wrote to the Commissioners of Police for a portion of the 73 sovereigns found on his wife, for the purpose of conducting his client's defence. He urged his claim on the ground that the money was Manning's, and as his wife had been allowed 201. Ihy the magistrate, the same indulgence should be granted to him. Yes terday afternoon the Commissioners directed Inspector Yates to deliver to Mr. Binns a similar sum to that granted to Mr. Solomon for the defence of Mrs. Manning.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Calypso, 20, Cap. tain Worth, arrived this morning from the Pacific and Rio, 55 days out from the latter place; her news conse quently has been considerably anticipated by the Sara phina and other mercantile arrivals. She has brought a freight, on merchants' account, amounting to between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 dollars. The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain Hall, was "paid down" to-day and went out to Spithead, prior to sailing for the Mediterranean, at half-past five this evening. The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Schoenberg, is still at Spithead. Wind W., fresh breezes and cloudy. WooLwicit, SErr. 18.—The St. Lawrence frigate, 46 guns, was towed up the river to-day to Greenwich, to be used as a cholera hospital-ship for any of the inmates of Greenwich Hospital who may be attacked with the prevailing epidemic. Captain W. 11. Stewart, and Mr. F. P. Smith, of the Screw-Propeller department at the Admiralty, pro ceeded yesterday to Taplow to satisfy themselves how far the report of the perfection of Captain Fitz mauriee's Orkney rotary engine was correctly stated, and, although the rain poured in torrents durinf io r d t greater part of the time the experiments we r e e on, they admitted the result to be very sati sfactory. Not anticipating any visitors on su ch a day, the pie ces which had been detached since the prevoi,voeutsher, and the experiment on Saturday last were hastily put t steam got up, and the boat started a i against the stream with seven persons o n board. The rains had increase(, the depth of the river nearly two feet since the previous trial, i and made the na vi g ation less difficult. The boat isutatroteds in fine style, and on Mr. Sm i t h timing the revo n of the screw, he found them to be 192 per minute, and that may be considered the average speed on this occasion, with a very little exception, when the screw got entangled in weeds, which were soon removed when found adhering by a few back turns of the screw. Tho distance run out and back was about twenty-six miles, and once through the lock of a canal, for which species of navigation it appears to be admirably adapted, having shown on a previous occasion its capabilities for towing by drawing a broad-bowed and flat-bottomed barge, thirty feet long by twelve feet in breadth, at the rate of throe miles an hour against the stream. The speed attained by the boat on this occasion was ascertained by Mr. Smith and Captain Houston Stewart to be fully seven knots per hour, or 8.055 statute miles an hour, a remarkable result, considering that the boat was in CO way con- Erith Erith' _ - / A % s 7"l— . - _ , X • ) r e, , , „,. , "1" • 4• 4l ;i e r rue 1• , . - 0 '"Nti ' ab • 416 ir "41 gt t• 1 . 7 !: 1 1 • It's , - - --- I'l x'9l' s- 17 ' r • • ' • •. , "C, [PRICE SD.

The Firebrand steam-vessel had her steam up again in the basin at Woolwich dockyard, to test ber engines. On the last occasion a workman, named James Alexan der, had a most surprising escape from instant death. When engaged in oiling the crack of the piston, which has a six-tacit stroke, he placed his hand, while moving from one place to another, on a but bearing, which caused him to withdraw it suddenly, and his shoes being studded with iron tacks, he slipped and fell down with the piston on its descending stroke. Fortunately Mr. Maurice Johnson, engineer of the ve-sel, and Mr. New ton, engineer at the factory, observed the accident, and had the presence of mind to step the engines, which was affected before they made another half-tern, and prevented his being crushed to death by their ponderous weight on their next descent. Alexander is hurt inter nally by the fall ho had upon the hard metal, but not to such an extent as might have been anticipated, atd be is likely to do well. THE ARMY. Major-General Charles Turner, who has been ap pointed Colonel of the 19th Regiment, was present with the expedition in Egypt, under the command of Sir Ralph Abercromby, and was appointed Brigade-Major to the Cavalry. In the action of the 18th March, 1801, he was made prisoner in a skirmish with the French cavalry and infantry, and not released until September following. He was employed subsequently as aid-de camp to Lieutenant-General Floyd, second in command in Ireland; and in 1806 was appointed Assistant-Adp tant-General on the Irish Staff. He accompanied his regiment to Bermuda and Martinique, and was re-ap pointed to the staff of the army in Ireland as Assistant. Adjutant at Cork, wh ere h e rema i ne d unt il hi s promo tion as Major-General, in 1841. From his long expe rience and perfect knowledge of every point connected with public affairs in Ireland, he was selected by the Commander-in-Chief to succeed the late Sir ()davit's Cary, as Major-General commanding the Southern dis trict, and ably p er f orme d t h e h eavy an d respons ib! e duties attaching to that situation during the late dis turbances. General Turner had the honour of receiving the Queen when her Majesty landed at Cork upon the occasion of her late visit to Ireland. ,'~ ~ .~~ ~ , AMP TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. A. F. PETTIGREW. (From the Hastings and St. Leonard's News of Friday, Sept. 7.) On Saturday last, a meeting was held at the As sembly Rooms, St. Leonard's, for the presentation of an exceedingly elegant tea service of plate, subscribed for by the inhabitants of St. Leonard's, as a testimonial of regard and affection for their late curate, the Rev. A. F. Pettigrew, M.A., who has recently succeeded the Rev. Mr. Harness, as minister of Brompton Chapel, in the environs of London. R. BURNETT BRANDER, Esq., took the chair on the occasion, and in very feeling terms described the gratification he experienced in being requested to perform this duty. In presenting the " St. Leonard's Memorial," he remarked upon it as being a testimony of sincere respect and friendship for one who had endeavoured to point out that no real comfort could be found if we departed from the rules of justice and kindness to our fellow-creatures—one who had preached to them with earnestness and truth, pointing out what joy and peace are to be derived from prayer and from reading of the Holy Scriptures, the only pure fountain of religion—one who also taught them that in affliction God and His Holy Word were our only true comfort and support. But it should be remembered that Mr. Pettigrew did not permit his " labours of love" to end in the sanctuary — he carried them into the homes of those entrusted to his care. Amongst their poorer brethren he (the Chairman) had observed him to lend a helping hand to south their sufferings, and to inspire them with fortitude and resignation—he had witnessed him when attending a bed of sickness acting as the good Sama ritan, and following the example of Luke the beloved physician. These were the pastors who commanded respect by their attention to our blessed Saviour's admonitions—they practised every endearment to lead us unto happiness both here and hereafter. To use the words of the poet— " affectionate in look And tender in address, as well becomes A messenger of grace to guilty men." The Chairman, - then addressing himself to the Rev. Mr. Pettigrew, begged to assure him that his memory would be honoured by the people of St. Leonaas; an-I he earnestly hoped, that in the new field of use fulness into which the providence of God had called him, he might confirms to be his " Good and faithful servant." That you (continued the Chairman) will teach them, as you have taught us, that when tempted to evil we should " Submit ourselves to Go-I— resist the devil and he will flee from us." Like tho good mariner, when his little bark is tossed by the ocean's tempest and ready to sink and perish, takes courage and looks on high for help, and with renewed strength and industry finds in God's own time a happy coast where he may anchor and rest in peace, so " Let us lay hold or, the hope set be fore us, which hope we have as an anchor of the soul both sure and stedfast—and let us ever give the glory to God." The Rev. Mr. PETTIGREW, in acknowledging this address, observed that it was difficult when the mind was deeply interested, and the heart engaged to give utterance to all that we would say—our feelings at such times may be better understood than expressed. He could not now therefore adequately acknowledge the present which, as a mark of their attachment, was this day presented to him. lie felt, however, per suaded that their liberality had been prompted by two considerations—first, from their reverential admira tion of those high and holy doctrines of our sacred re ligion, o❑ which, for the space of nearly two years, it was his privilege truthfully, because he firmly be lieved scripturally, to address them ; and secondly, from their personal regard towards himself as an indi vidual. Next to the answer of a good conscience, it was perhaps our greatest happiness to live in the affec ti,,ns of those amongst whom we dwell; that this hitherto had been his happy lot in the various posi tions in which Providence had placed him—similar testimonials from every curacy he had had the privi lege to hold would testify; and it was his experience in St. Leonard's of the same kindly feeling which prompted former memorials, which, more than its intrinsic excellence, rendered this their tribute of affection to him so truly gratifying. It gave him pleasure to add, that he being now (God willing) about to remove to the metropolis, he should be afforded ninny opportunities of renewing and culti vating the valued friendships he had been so happy and so fortunate as to form amongst them. lie entreated them to accept his best thanks for their many acts of kindness, and to believe that St. Leo nard's, with its various and pleasing associations, would, should God spare him, form one of his most pleasing retrospects in after-life. Mr. NORWOOD then proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman for his able conduct in the chair, which having been carried, a similar vote was presented to Mr. Southall for his kindness in selecting the testi monial.
