LIVERPOOL, May 12.—The screw steam-ship City of
Manchester, Capt. Kennedy, belonging to the Liverpool,
New York, and Philadelphia Steamship Company, left
here this morning at 11 o'clock for Portsmouth, where
she is to embark about 900 men of the 6:12 Regiment
of Foot and 100 men of the Royal Engineers, for con-
veyance to Gibraltar, at which port, after landing the
6th Foot, she is to embark the same number of the
31st Foot, for A!goa Bay. The City of Manchester
conveyed the let Dragoon Guards to Calcutta in the
autumn of last year, when she made her
passages each
way in the short time at sea of 66f der, , makinghe
pa,sage to the Cape of Good Hope in 34 days. The
screw steamship City of Washington, Capt. Petrie, be-
longing to the the same company, sailed at the same time
for New York with upwards of 400 passengers and the
United States' maiie, which the United States' Govern-
ment have given to the vessels of this company since the
withdrawal of the Collins mail steamers. _

THE DRESSMAKERS OP THE METROPOLIS.—The Asso-
elation for the aid and benefit of dressmakers and milli-
ners' assistants, have iFoned a paper, setting forth the
great privations and sufferings of the young dressmakers
and milliners. The association call attention to what is
moat wanted, namely :-1. That ladies should allow suf-
ficient, time for the execution of their orders. 2. That
they should encourage and patronise those establish
ment4 where the young persons are considerately treated.
3. That employers should he shown that it is their im-
perative duty, in any case, to reduce the hours of work
within reasonable limits ; and that, while inordinate
toil, such as the majority of them now impose on their
young people, is most injurious to the latter, it can be of
no real advantage even to themselves—a principle abut,-
dantly established under the Factory Act, and in other
departments of industrial life where the humane system
has been adopted.

THE LATE MURDER AT ROCHESTER.—The prisoner,
Albert Huskey Turner, since his committal to the gaol
of Maidstone for the wilful murder of his wife, Sarah
Turner. at Rochester, on the 10th instant, has under-
gone a great change of wind. Though still affirming
that his statement as to the proof which he had of the
unfaithfulness of his wife on the morning of the murder,
and which consequently led him to commit the act, is
strictly true, be nevertheless expresses the greatest con•
trition for his crime, and seems quite prepared to meet
the worst. The greater portion of his time he spends in
reading the Bible and other scriptural books, and is
most attentive to the earnest exhortations of the chap-
lain, the Rev. Watson King. At his own request he
has been visited by the Rev. J. Davis, congregational
minister of Rochester, and also by some of his intimate
friends, whom he met in a most affectionate manner.
SUSPECTED MURDER.— Late on Tuesday evening was
discovered the body of a mels person, most frightfully
mutilated, in the Regent's Canal, within a short dis
tance of the principal entrance of Vic`oria•park. It
appsars that shortly before 6 o'clock a bargeman called
the attention of Russell, the lock-keeper, to the body,
which was lying alongside the towing path, and the drags
having been procured the body was got out, when a
frightful spec' aele presented itself. The head of the de-
ceased was completely cut off from the upper part of the
cnest, exposing the spine and ribs, and was only held
on by the integuments at the back of the neck. The
skull bone was extensively fractured, both arms were
broken, and both shoulder joints were dislocated, and
the body downwards was covered with severe contusions
and lacerations. The body, which bad been in the
water several days, was conveyed to the Ilorsford Arms
Tavern, where it was examined by Mr. Edward Sep-
pings, surgeon, of Wallington-street, and he was of opi-
eio❑ that a portion of the injuries were received before
death. Yesterday morning the body was identified as
being that of John Turner, aged 52, of Richard-street,
C, mmercial-road East. He had been missing from his
home a week, and his friends believe that he has been
aylaid, robbed, and afterwards thrown into the canal.
Information has been forwarded to Mr. W. Baker, the
coroner, who will hold an inquest on the body this day

knows and deeply regrets that there is much in the past
that might have been improved, but be feels sustained
by the thought that his whole conduct has been actu-
ated solely by an honest desire to adhere strictly to the
rule of right, and that his rule for the future will be to
love his friends, to hate his enemies, and to live in ac-
cordance with the divine precept, "As ye would that
men should do to you, do ye to them like mime." We
perceive by the advertisements that the players have
got back to Burton's, the head-quartera of the recent
movement.
