quence of there being an anemias of 1,000 men beyond the
established number allowed in the royal dockyard, by an
Order in Council of June, 1850, notioe is to be given to all
apprentices that after serving their time they cannot be
entered on the establishment, but may be retained as hired
workmen, should they prefer it, to being discharged. The

TBB NUADIIR BY A 941W1 AT LIVERPOOL.

Benjamin Thomas, seaman, was charged before
the Liverpool magi/testis, on Saturday, with the murder of
Mee. /dory Rowlands, wife of • sea captain, sad the keeper
of • mikes' boarding-ho is Brook-street, Old Hall-street.
Thomas lodged at Mrs. Rowlands' house, and it appeared
that he had been shipped as • seaman on board the emigrant
ship Shactiamaoon, which is at present lying in the Mersey,
outward bound, with cotton operatives on board
for Queensland. After shipping, Thomas received
an advance note, which wee cashed by Mew.
Rowlands on Thursday. Mrs. Rowlande, suspecting that
the prisoner intended to desert the vessel, eodeevcouvid to
keep him in the house until the day appointed for sailing,
and employed • man named Croesthwsite to assist her.
Croeathwaite stated that be had the greatest difficulty in
doing 03, as Thomas was fully aware of the object for which
this restraint was put upon him. On Friday, between 12
and 2 o'clock, • slater of the deceased, Ellen Moreau, who
resided in the same street, went to Mrs. Rowlands'
house, and saw the and the deceased
together. Thomas was e eavouring to get out, and the
deceased was baud to say—" No, you must not go,
you must go on board." Some further altercation took
place, after which Morris left the house. At this time, a
servant who was staying at Mrs. Rowlaods' place, Elizabeth
Benbow by name, came is, and Morris left the prisoner and
the two women together. Soon afterwards it appeared that
Thomas became very much excited, and after walking
about the room restlessly for • little time he went
down into the cellar and called to Mrs. Rowlao de
to come to him, saying, "I want you." She went
down, leaving Benbow in the parlour by herself.
While Mrs. Rowlands and Thomas were together below
Benbow heard no outcry, or indications of a struggle, tot
in a short time afterwards Thomas came up with a savage
grin on his face, seised Nohow by the hair, and beat her so
violently about the head with a potato masher, that had it
not been for timely interference she would have been mur-
dered. Her screams, however, brought severzilople to
the spot, and the prisoner was compelled to while
Benbow was promptly removed to the Northern Hospital,
where she now lies under medical care. Upon an examiaa-
tics of the cellar the body of Mn. Rowlands was
discovered lying upon the Boor in a pool of blood, sad with
her skull literally smashed until the brains had protruded.
The murder had evidently been committed with the mine
weapon which Thomas bad weed with such fearful effect
also upou Benbow. The prisoner attempted to Eska his
escape. but was arrested shortly afterwards by • police
officer. After evidence to the above affect had bees=
the prisoner was remanded for elven days. We
have mentioned that a female named Evans, who interfered
on Booboo's behalf, was also brutally assailed by Thomas.
