GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and
all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such
perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a
paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the
imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into
the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when
he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the
most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but
the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as Soon as
the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon
he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable
of all i ,ventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET
of GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for
the last thirty years.
To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro-
posed.—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend
Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply
because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth

MURDER AT KNOWSLEY, BY A

MADMAN.
(From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.)
On Sunday evening last the neighbourhood of Knows-
ley, the seat of the Earl of Derby, about eight miles
from this town, was the scene of a most revolting out-
rage, which has resulted in the death of a young female,
only about sixteen
years of age. Her name was Ann
Leyland, and she lived in the capacity of servant with
Mrs. Highcock, the keeper of a lodge near the stables on
the Knowsley estate. The name of her murderer is
James Dwerryhouse, He had served in the 67th Regi-
ment of Foot for ten or eleven years, and was discharged
on account of ill-health, upon a conditional pension. It
is some time since he lost his pension, and we are in-
formed he has since been in the service of Mr. Robertson
Gladstone and Mr. John Molyneux. He formerly lived
at Broad-green, but he has been residing lately at Waver-
tree, and had for some time been in the employment of
the London and North-Western Railway Company, as
signal man. His stepfather had, within a short time,
observed something very curious in his manner. He
had become very much changed, and was quite of a
religious turn of mind. On Saturday
evening last he
was seen by a man in the neighbourhood of Wavertree,
sitting beside a pit, washing his feet, and a short time
after he was seen in the same place, reading what ap-
peared to be either a prayer-book or a hymn-book. He
then ran off, but instead of going in the direction of home
ho went to the house of his mother, at Broad-green, and
what transpired there will be gathered from the evidence
given at the inquest. After he left his mother's house
nothing was heard of him till Sunday evening. Appre-
hensive that he might do injury to himself or to some one
else, his friends gave information to the police in Liver-
pool and Prescot, and also forwarded a description of his
person, but he was not seen or beard of till about
half-past seven on Sunday evening. At that time he was
observed by Mrs. Highcock, coming towards the lodge,
which is within two hundred yards of Knowsley Hall.
Mrs. Highcock and- .Ann Leyliair44re the only per-
sons in the lodge. He was met at the door by the old
woman, but whether any conversation took place between
them or not cannot be ascertained. The tragical event
had such an effect upon the mind of Mrs. Highcock, that
she was unable to give her evidence before the Coroner,
and she has been confined ever since. Certain it is, how-
ever, that he knocked the old woman down, and she lay
on the ground a considerable time in a stat of insensi-
bility. The girl ran out of the house screaming, in the
direction of another lodge, where there is a watchman
stationed. She was followed by the prisoner, who seized
hold of her, but what next occurred will, probably, never
be ascertained, as the girl never spoke after she was
again seen. When the old woman recovered, after the
lapse, it is supposed, of some little time, she ran towards
the stables at the rear of Knowsley-hall, and called for
help. One of the grooms, named Mills, was the first to
run to the rescue of the poor girl. He found her only a
short distance from the lodge, stretched on her back on
the ground. Her murderer stood over her. He had a
foot upon each of the girl's arms, and holding her down
with his hands, he was, with a demoniac grin, tearing
the hair and scalp attached to it, from the head of his
unfortunate victim. Mills seeing the position of both,
fancied the man had a knife in his hand, and going be-
hind him, pushed him off her body. By this time
another of the grooms came up, and the fellow made a
rush at him, taking with him the hair and scalp. The
madman got away a short distance, went upon the lawn
in front of Knowsley-hall, and then danced, holding up
the scalp in the manner and with all that fiendish glee
which is so well described in the history of some Indian
war tribes. When one of the men passed him on his
way for the police-officer, he again held up the scalp, as
if exulting at the dreadful deed he had perpetrated.
The girl, who was in a state of insensibility, was im-
mediately removed, by the direction of the Earl of Derby
into one of the apartments at Knowsley-hall, and a mes-
senger on horseback was dispatched to Prescot, for Mr.
Alty, surgeon, who attended her with unremitting at-
tention during the whole of the night. The Earl of
Derby expressed great anxiety respecting her, and
everything which human skill, care, and attention
could do for the poor girl was done, but she never
rallied, and a little after eight o'clock on Monday morn-
ing she died. She was buried, we believe, on Wednes-
day morning.
Dwerryhouse was, soon after the melancholy occur-
rence, conveyed to the police-office, at Prescot, where
be remained the whole night. Police-officer, No. 157, of
the county police, sat up with him all night. lie dozed
a little during the middle of the night, but never slept
soundly. lie talked of nothing but religion, and seemed
very much disposed to argue about passages from the Bible.
After slumbering a little he would jump up suddenly,
and talk again of religion. His hands were handcuffed
behind his back. Looking exultingly at himself; he said
his position reminded him of that of St. Peter, when he
was in chains. He said he felt quite consoled and happy
—happy as a nobleman. He was free from sin and the
dominion of the Evil One, and could easily shake off his
fetters if he liked to do so. He then quoted passages of
Scripture, andlooked quite pleased. '1 he only reference
made by him to the horrible occurrence of the evening
before was on Monday morning. After talking a con-
siderable time on religious subjects, he said he last night
met with an evil one, an enemy of God, in the shape of
a woman, and he nearly killed her, but he did not know
whether she was dead yet or not. In the course of the
day, Taylor, the groom, who was one of tho first to go
to the rescue of the girl, went into the apartment where
the prisoner was confined. He was immediately recog-
nised by Dwerryhouse, who became quite furious,
stamped and foamed, and called out, " Here is another
of the enemy; begone out of my sight."
An inquest on the body was held at four o'clock on
Monday afternoon, at Knowsley-hall,
before John
Hayes, Esq., county coroner, when the jury returned a
verdict of " Wilful murder against James Dwerry-
house." The coroner immediately made out his war-
rant, and the prisoner, in charge of police-sergeant
Petty, was conveyed to Kirkdale Gaol, to await his trial
at the August Assizes.
It was reported at Knowsley, on Wednesday, that the
murderer had died in prison the previous day. From
inquiries made yesterday at Kirkdale Gaol, we learn
that he is still alive, and, apparently, in excellent bodily
health. Since his committal to Kirkdale, his conduct
has been such as to leave not a shadow of doubt as to the
state of his mind. He is continually raving about reli-
gion. There is no doubt he will be confined in a lunatic
i asylum for life.

to-morrow for a cruise in the North Sea, and proceed
thence to Copenhagen. Among the naval cadets on
board is his Serene Highness Prince William of Hesse
Phillipsthal, a fine youne: man about 17 years of age,
who left this port on the 7th inst. for Marlborough
House, to visit his august relative her Majesty the Queen
Dimager. The young Prince returned on the 14th, and
the next day, in company with Captain Ellbrecht and
the officers of the corvette, was entertained by Pert
Admiral Sir John West, G.C.8., who invited a large and
fashionable party of naval and military officers to meet
his distinguished guests. The entertainment concluded
by a ball given in the etenintr by Lady West.
The Trinity steam-yacht Vestal, Captain E. W. Jones,
came in on the 13th and left on the 15th inst., for an
extensive tour of inspection of lights to the eastward.
Sir Henry Pellev, deputy chairman ; Captains Ford,
Pixley, Shepherd, Mann, and Redman, elder brethren,
are on board, and during their stay visited the lighthouse
on the Breakwater and Eddystone.
l'onTsmouzu, THURSDAY.-The rumour which we
gave yesterday respecting the Scourge steam-sloop, and
which we could not then trace to any authentic founda-
tion, has-been confirmed to do,y;-that vessel is being ra-
pidly dismantled, Captain Catlin, .his officers and crew,
being ordered to be turned over to the Fury steam-sloop
at Sheerness. The cause of this order is defective ma-
chinery—the old complaint, although the Scourge is a
now vessel, and scarcely one year and seven months in
commission. Whether her 13-inch mortar is to blame

for this, or the work itself was inferior, we have been
unable to find out, but certain it is that the vessel is put
i
cut of commission. It s high time some commission
was appointed to investigate the causes of these repeated
failures of the Government steamers from alleged bad
workmanship in the machinery, which is continually
offering some hindrance
.to her Majesty's service by
breaking down. We don t know whether the Scourge's
engines are constructed upon any established plan, or
whether they are experimental. With the pattern of
the Comet before their eyes we are surprised that failure
is so frequent. The engines of that excellent little craft
are in better working order now than they were when
they were fitted in 1822, although her boilers, like the
Victory, have not a piece of the original material with
which they were constructed in them. The machinery
of this little model will indeed have to be provided with
a new hull if she is kept si▪ x months longer in commis-
sion. We merely adduce this to show the value of the
proverb, " Let well alone.
The immense American steam-ship Washington, of
2,000 tons and 2,000 (1) horse, power, passed Spithead
this morning, about nine o Flock, on her way to Bremen
from Southampton. In point of size she looked like an
elongated three-decker wi▪ th only one streak round her,
but about as ugly a specimen of steam-ship building as
ever went through this anchorage. She did not appear
to make much use of her 2,000-horse power either, but
seemed rather to roll along than steam through the
water. She excited considerable curiosity, although her
performances, as compared with the Britannia, had evi-
dently taken the edge off the feeling with which the
vessel would have been viewed had a different result
been obtained in her favour.
The Belleisle, 72, Captain lungcome, sailed this after-
noon for Plymouth to refit.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert will visit this port
en route to Osborne on Saturday for a cursory inspection
of the improvements in progress on the estate. His
Royal Highness will return to town the same afternoon.
