LIVERPOOL, May 12.—The screw steam-shiManchester, Capt. Kennedy, belonging to the Liverpool,left
_pCity of
New York, and Philadelphia Steamship Corn"l'Y'
here this morning at 11 o'clock for Portsmouth, where
she is to embark about 000 men of the 6th Regiment
of Foot and 100 men of the Royal Engineers, for con-
veyance to Georaliar, at which port, after landing the
6th Foot, she is to embark the same number of the
31st Foot, for Alcoa Bay. The City of Manchester
conveyed the let Dragoon Guards to Calcutta in the
autumn of last year, when she made her pauses inch
way in the short time at sea of 664 days, making the
passage 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' mails, which the United States' Govern-
ment have given to the vessels of this company siuce the
withdrawal of the Collins mail steamers.
THE DRESSMIBERS OP THE METROPOLIS.—The Asso-
ciation for the aid and benefit of dressmakers and milli-
ners' assistants, have issued a paper, setting forth the
great privations and sufferings of the young dressmakers
and milliners. The association call attention to what is
most 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-
ments where the young persons arecoosiderately treated.
3. That employers should be shown that it is their len-
' perative duty, in any case, to reduce the hours of work
within reasonable limits ; and that, while inordinate
toil, such as the maj,,rity 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 prineiple 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,

unfaithfulness of his wife on the morning of the murder,
and which consequently led him to commit the act, is
strictly true, he 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 exhoitations 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 male person, most frightfully
mutilated, in the Regent's Canal, within a short die
twice of the principal entrance of Vic oria-park. It
appears 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-
ceaed was completely cut off from the upper part of the
chest, 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 Horsford Arms
Tavern, where it was examined by Mr. Edward Sep-
pings, surgeon, of Wallington-street, and he was of opi-
',ion that, a portion of the injuries were received before
It ads. Yesterday morning the body was identified as
being that of John Turner, aged 52, of Richard-street,
C.,mtnercial-road East. He had been missing from his
hone a week, and his friends believe that he has been
eaylaid, 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,

FRIA C E ADAM CZARTORYSKL

The Polish residents at Paris have as usual celebrated
the anniversary of the 3d of May by attending divine wor-
ship in the Church of the Assumption, and by a subse-
quent meeting at the Polish Library, L'Quai d'Orleans.

The liberal and monarchical constitution of 3d May,
1791, was, as it were, the dying song of independent
Poland. The remembrance of this act, which was ap-
plauded at the time by every respectable statesman in
Europe, is dear to the Poles, although the very benefits
that it promised'in a certain measure accelerated the par-
tition of the country by the Governments who, having
resolved its destruction, could not allow renovating re-
forms 0o be introduced in the state.
At the mewing Prince Czartoryski delivered a speech, of
which the following are the most remarkable passages :
"An important and fundamental change is about to be
accnmplisheu in that portion of our fatherland that has
fallen un ler the dominion of Russia. The attention of
Europe as well as of Poland is fixed upon an attempt, the
object of which is to elevate and ameliorate the condit on
of the most numerous class of the inhabitants—our brothers
as Poles and as Ch,istisns. 011 the levitation of the
supreme authorit, in the state, delegates representing the
proprietors of each province or government are formed
into committees to deliberate on certain proposed reforms.
Is it just, because these deliberations are found to require
time and reflection, to accuse the delegates of placing ob-
stacles in the way of reforms which have long been solicited
by the class they represent? Certainly those who do so
must have forgotten that which the present anniversary
gives us the right to recall to their mind. In 1791,
as long as sixty-seven years ago, the last diet assembled
in independent Poland, in adopting certain mea-
sures laid before it, proclaimed a solemn engagement to
fulfil a duty the accomplishment, of which had already been
too long postponed. Who can doubt that the reforms I
allude to, bearing upon the emancipation of the serfs,
would long ago have been quietly and peacefully carried
out in Poland had it not been for the invasion and the
dismemberment which immediately afterwards set at
nought all the hopes and aspirations of the nation, had it
not been for the endeavours of hostile governments, who
by their ukasea and regulations did their best to disor-
ganise society in Poland by perfidiously exciting one class
of the inhabitants against another. Not only daring the wars
of independence in 1794 and in 1831 did the Polish nation
again express its determination to establish free contracts
between peasant farnearee awl proprietors of land, but the
latter have since then repeatedly petitioned the Govern- •
li2 en t to be allowed to introduce such contracts, bat have
up to this (lay invariably met with a refusal. It cannot
therefore be doubted that the Polish provinces of the
Russian empire will hasten to prove under the present
circumstances the elevation and wisdom of their views in
relation to the reforms which they have at last been called
pon to propose. They will not fail to respond to the ap-
parently liberal views of the present sovereign. The commit-
tees in these provinces know too well that nothing is more
painful than prolonged uncertainty when once a question
has been raised as to the existing relations between two
parties, one of which has been injured in its rights, while
for this very reason the interests of the other
also are endangered. In the face of so urgent a
necessity the wealthy classes of Poland will, I am
sure, be ready even to impose sacrifices on
themselves as soon as a thorough study of the subject
shall have opened their eyes as to the importance of the
object to be attained, and of the dangers to he obvi-
ated. The principal difficulty evidently arises not out
of the future pecuniary relations between the proprie-
tors and the liberated peasantry, but out of the circum-
stance that the Russian Government contemplates leav-
ing in the hands of the lord of the soil the charge of
levying taxes and recruits, and of carrying out the local
police. However, if the Government be really deter-
mined to respect the rights of property, all the instincts
of the heart and all the calculations of self-interest will
soon tend towards the establishment of a state of things
in which every man shall enjoy entire personal liberty
and equality before the laws. It is beyond all doubt
that that which ensures the liberty and the permanent
well-being of the peasant-farmer must also ensure the in-
terests of the proprietor. God has bestowed upon the
Polish race qualities and talents which have been re-
peatedly manifested in the course of ages to the glory of
the nation and the advantage of its neighbours. In one
quality only we are failing. We have never been able to
persevere in spontaneous organisation for action, and to
submit ourselves to the necessary discipline, and this has
been the source of all our misfortunes. The destiny of na-
tions is in the hand of Providence. It is not given to man
to precipitate its decrees ; to attempt to do so is to merit
defeat. But whatever be the future which God reserves
for us, there is one lesson which I would fain leave to my
country, a lesson applicable to every situation and
to every enterprise. Whatever be the task we wish
to accomplish, let us begin by placing ourselves under one
goVerning direction. Under all circumstances we ought
to practise this, and, so to say, contract the habit of it.
Would that each one of us would make it a point of
honour to implant in our nation that spirit of dis-
cipline which is the condition of unity, order, and
power, and which is the sole virtue in which we
have been failing. Then whatever be the fate that
awaits us, our friends abroad. and even the powers that
have been imposed upon us, will have for Poland an esteem
and a regard which, in good fortune or in bad, will re-
dound to the advantage of the country The noble orator
expressed his satisfaction at seeing the alliance between
the two great Western Powers maintained in spite of the
dangers that have threatened it, and then added :—The
prudent and assiduous care which the two nations take to
"save the alliance," sufficiently proves that in their eyes
it is still necessary, and that the peace which was so hur-
riedly concluded does not as yet seem to them quite secure.
Bat between two powerful neighbouring states national
susceptibilities are easily roused, and soon acquire an en-
venomed character when a great object to be attained in
common no longer necessitates that co-operation whioh
holds all rivalries in check. The duration of this allisnee
is desired by everyone, because, in reality, it can subserve
no criminal project, no plan of conquest or of partition
detrimental to other ctates. It seems, on the contrary,
forced into combating evil, into protecting the we tic, and
into promoting generally the well-being of the human race.
Were these conditions of its existence to be violated a rup-
ture would inevitehly ensue, and fearful misfortunes be
the consequence. The Prince further did homage to the
devotion and excellent spirit manifested by a body of Poles,
who, under the command of an officer of rare merit, has
been organised, since the peace, in the Caucasus among the
Circassians. He alluded, at the same time, to certain
European volunteers who, after having declared themselves
Mussulmans, in order to gain the confidence of the Turks
and the Circaesians, have been detected in keeping up
secret communications with the enemy, and have confessed
that they had served Russia even daring the last war,
and that they had done so out of hatred to another power,
and out of blind love for their country. Such, gentlemen,
sail the Prince in concluding, ere the acts of those who are
bound by no hum-an or divine lows. They trample under
foot the most sacred duties, they deny their faith, they
even emancipate themselves from the rules of simple pro-
bity, in their cold-hearted and blind perversity, they look
upon treason, assassination, and massacre, as virtuous and
c ever policy. Woe to those who would benefit them-
selves by acts which spring from a truly diabolical source.
Whether they be nations or governments, they are sure to
reap malediction and opprobrium. Happily Poland runs
no risk of this kind. Her cause is inseparable from that
of justice and civilisation, and of the equilibrium an i last-
ing peace of the world—for the peace of the world, esta-
blished on justice, cannot be conceived without the radio al
and perfect redemption of the crime which has deprived
Poland of her independence, but which has left her right
untouched under the guardianship of Him who is _Eternal
Justice.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
EXECUTIONS FOR MURDER.

Yesterday the two brothers Cormack were exe-
cuted at Cinnmel, pursuant to their sentence, for
the assassination of Mr. Ellis, under circumstances
of peculiar barbarity. One of th.se men actually
got himself placed upon the coroner's jury which
sat upon the murdered gentleman's remains, with
a view to intimidate by his presence the driver of
the ear who witnessed the murder, and had a pre-
vious knowledge that it had been decided upon by
the Cormacks. _

Patrick Leydon was yesterday executed at Gal-
way for the brutal murder of his wife. He had mar-
ried her to save himself from the consequences of a
charge of violation, and shortly afterwards put her
to death by strangulation. The wretched man
having appeared on the drop with the rope round
his neck, proceeded to address the assembled
crowd in the Irish language, in a clear and full
voice, and as the report continues, apparently very
little affected by the position in which be stood.
His address was translated into English, as he de-
livered it, by the Rev. Mr. Commil4 s. It was to the
effect—that the woman who was now no more had
brought a charge against him, of which he was as
innocent as the child unborn (sensation.)
Eleven witnesses had sworn, and they had sworn
falsely, for they knew nothing whatever of what
he had done. He said it was not true that he went
for the woman, but that she came to where he
was. He confessed that he alone committed
the murder, but that no human eye saw him
do it, and that it was known only to God
Almighty. He said that neither brother,
cousin, or any other relation bad any hand,
act, or Fart in it, and if they knew he was going to
do it they wouldn't let him. He then said t, at he
forgave every one on earth, and he hoped to be
forgiven by God ; and he besought tke prayers of
the people for his soul that he might receive mercy
not alone for the c,ime for which he was now about
to suffer, but for all the sins of his past life. The
executioner then placed a white handkerchief over
his face and head, closed the door of the drop, and
in another moment the wretched being was in
eternity.

The steamship Lord Ashley will sail from Milford
Haven, on the 20th inst., for Auckland, New Zealand,
direct, with emigrants, and carry ship letters.

" The Ottoman Porte can neither appeal to in-
contestable rights nor urgent necessities in entering
upon this course.
" Two questions arise, the one whether the Poee
has rights of suzerainty over Montenegro, and the
other, whether certain districts occupied and ruled,
sometimes by Ottoman authority and sometimes by
the authority of the Prince of Montenegro, should
be held +o form part of the t-riitory of this small
country, or be united to the Turkish provinces.
"On the first point, the Porte invokes the right
of conq nest ; it is, indeed, the only one which it can
allege with the least semblance of truth, for between
it and Montenegro no convention exists to snppDrt
a right of suzerainty. But the fact of conquest is
not converted into a real right except under certain
conditions, the most essential of which is the per-
manent and continuous occupation of the conquered
country, or at least its subjection as attested by se's
of sovereign admini-tration, such for example as the
levying a tribute, the presence of a garrison, &C.
But it is an historical fact that the Turk., although
they may have some, imes attacked Montenegro wit h
success, have never been abTe to maintain themselves
in that country ; and it is also indisputable th.it
for nearly a century Montenegro has been almr at
entirely closed against them.

" We see, then, that the Porte cannot plac3 its
suzerainty with respect to Montenegro under- the
principle of the integrity of the Ottoman empire.
Aud in this view of the subject one cannot help
deeply regretting that aft-r the sacrifices which
certain powers made for her independence and in-
tegrity, Turkey should have allowed herself to at-
tack.ethe national existence of a small and feeble
country. -
It will be remembered that the chief Ottoman
pleuipotentiary at the Congress of Paris, while de-
claring that the Porte had no intention of altering
anything in toe actual status quo of Mouteuegro,
made a reservation in favour of the suzerainty tithe
Sultan over that country, and that on that occasion
Prince Daniel heeself addressed the Powers which
had subscribed the Treaty of Paris, in vindication
of his rights to independence. Shortly afterwards
the Prince cline to Paris, though the government
of the Emperor, so far from having encouraged
that step, had, on the contrary, endeavoured to
dissuade him from it, wishing, in the interest of the
Prince him,elf, to avoid everythine that could give
offence to other governments. The Prince, never-
theless accomplished his journey, and the Emperor
r ceived with kindness thechiefofa little state which
invoked his right iu order t placehiraself under the
erotection of the Great Powers. Undoubtedly
the existence of Montenegro is of little consequence
to the balance of power in Europe ; but when the
weak invoke justice, it would be unworthy and un-
generous not to listen to them, and Lis Majesty
received with interest the account submitted to him
of the miseries of a Christian people and the suffer-
ings which they had so long endured for the main-
tenance of their faith and nationality, and was in-
duced to promise his support in bitch measure as
shoull be o her wise compatible with the just claims
of the respective parties. His Majesty's ambassa-
dor at Constantinople was ordered to make a
friendly representation on the subject to the ministers
of the Sultan, and at the same time to call their
attention to the necessity of bringing about, if only
provisionally, a territorial settlement between Tur-
key and •Montenegro which should put an end to
the sanguinary collisions which periodically arise
between the two populations out of questions of the
right of pasture and agriculture, and which are
produc-d by the uncertainty of the boundaries.
"Reduced to these terms, the overtures of
France affected no question of principle ; they con-
stituted scarcely anything more than an act of
humanity, and the Emperor's government found
other cabinets disposed to concur with it at Con-
stantinople.
" However, troubles having broken out in the
pr( vinces nearest to Montenegro, the • Ottoman
government resolved to send troops thither to re-
establish order. It moreover formerly declared
that the despatch of these forces was not a move-
ment against Montenegro, with which it in-
tended to employ only negotiation. No: with-
standing these assuranc-s, Ottoman troops were
! placed roundabout Montenegro, and, what is more
eerinus, they prepared to march into the districts
of Grahovo, which is occupied by the Montenegrins.
Admitting that in the intention of the Porte this
invasion of the territory was not intended as an
attack up in Montenegro, it is evident that it might
lead to an armed collision, and that it constitutes
at least a viola ion of the statu quo which the Porte
hal undertaken by the mouth of its ambassador to
respect.
" The Emperor's government could not remain
indifferent to this proceeding; and it wade suitable
representations at Constantiuop e, and it has in-
vited the Powers to come to an understanding as
I to the means of preventing a conflict otherwise in-
evitable between the Tuiks and Montenegrins. Its
advances have been received ftvourably, and Eng-
land has male a la
proposition which has ,en gladly
accsp!ed at Paris, to the effect teat great powers
shall appoint commis•iiohers, who, in concert with
an envoy of the Pore, shall proceed to a ti.rritoi ial
arrangement eased upon the statu quo existing at
the date of the Treaty of Pat is.

"It is raasouan'e to hope that all the govern-
ments will rally to so moderate a proposin.
Russia has uniformly displayed too much interest
in the welfare of the Montenegrins to allow us to
doubt of her assent ; and as for Austria, we are not
permitted to doubt of her adhesion when we re-
member that in 1853 she made strong representa-
tions at Constantinople, by the mouth of Prince
Leiningen, iu order to obtain respect for the terri-
torial static quo, at that time menaced by the
msrch of troops under Omer Paella.

CHARGE OF WRITINGt A LErTER TO
TEE QUEEN.

Mr. Austin Maggs, an architect and builder, who
hay for some time past resided in Hereford, super-
intending the erection of a monastic edifice at Bel-
mont, about a couple of miles from the city, has
just been apprehended in consequence of having
written a lett-r to her Majesty, plainly betokening
mental aberration of a dangerous character.
Mr. Maggs was apprehended on Tuesday night
last, under a warrant signed by a city magistrate,
and issued by direction of Sir Richard Mayne.
Upon the superintendent of police reading the
warrant. Mr. Maggs exclaimed, "Oh, a lunatic in-
deed ! Was it one of your puppy Hereford magis-
trates that issued the warrant against me 7"
Upon being told that the instructions for his ap-
prehension had been sent from London in conse-
quence of his having written a letter to the Queen,
Mr. Maggs said—" Wrote it ? Of course I wrote
it, and she ought to have answered it. It would
have been better if the Queen had answered it in a
respectful manner." He subsequently stated that
the letter was written a fortnight ago, and ad-
mitted that he was in London on Saturday last.
The following is a copy of the letter upon which
the proceedings are taken :

" Hereford, 27th April, 1858.
"To her Moat Gracious Majesty Victoria, Queen of
Great Britain, Ireland, and their colonies.
"Your Majesty's bumble and loyal subject ahoweth,

The prisoner was very violent on Tuesday night,
and broke the furniture of the infirmary of the
City Gaol, where he had been placed. He declared
himself ready to answer for writing the letter to
her Majesty "before the Queen or any one else."
On Wednesday he was brought up before the
Mayor and Mr. T. T. Davies, and was remanded
until Monday next, for inquiries to be made con-
cerning his relatives, who are believed to reside at
Bristol.

Before the admission of the general ,visitbis be'r
111.4jevy, accompanied by his Royal flightless the
Prince Consort and the Princess Alice, honoured
the exhibiti .n with a private visit, and remained
some time in the m'irques, examining the best
among the various classes of plants exhibited. The
roes, which, both with regard to t heplaritirend‘ the
size of the flower, have never b?e-J.-4 Sarpassed at.any
previous exbibiti!ei, particularly attracted the itt-
terrion of the It! yal party. Mlny of the bushes
were growing in pots which one c:mld-scarcely
credit were large enough to maintain such vigorous
p ants, some of which had as many as from 40 to 50
open blooms, and as in3ny buds coming out. The
various specimens of rhododendrons, which only a
few 3 ears since were introduced by Dr. Hooker
from the Himalayas, are already beginning to be
at ow u as show plants, and some fine. speeimens a
these were greatly a Imired. A' double - ,white
pelargonium, named "the Gem of the Unclercliff,"
and a great curiosity, was also muchmeticed by the
Royal party.

Ater the departure of her Majesty the exhibi-;
Con was thrown open to visitors,' and, as usual, even
among -the very limited number that attended
7:es! erd ay the _most distinguished m*bera; of the -
aristocracy- were to -be fortnd: Aftiontmany ahem
were her Royal Highness the 'Thichess 'of Cam-

ness the Princess " Anne of Saxe-Weimar, the
Duchess of Sutherland; the Swedish Ambassador
and suite, the Austrian Ambassador and suite, the
NLrelii•iness of Aylesbury, the Cuuntess of Mester-
ld, the Bishop of Manchester, &c. Two long
banks of turf covered with orchids, not bialicif all
hues, but of all shapes and sizes, were great attrac-
sions, particularly such examples of the curious
T.).ant, as the dove orchis, the bee, the fly, the lizard,
The brightest display in colours were the azaleas sad
pAargoniunis. The fornier were particularly fine,
and blit for their most delicate tints of colour
would have reminded the visitor of loose piles of
swans' down or snow, so completely was every leaf
of foliage hidden under the soft mass of blossom.
The cacti were, as usual, hot-looking and brilliant,
and the heaths were good and their flowers well
colour ed.

The bands of the Ist and 21 Life Guards, with
that of the Har=e Guards, were stationed in attend-
ance, and cantributed as much as it was in the
power of music to contribute in enlivening the day.
At six the three bands were united, and the effect
of their perfoimances was then really most impres-
sive and powerful. Unfortunately, however, no-
thing could compensate for the depressive influence
of the weather, and it was a matter of sincere re-
gret with many that the rules of the society did
not permit the continuance of the exhibition for
another day.
The following are the principal prizes awarded
to the moat successful competitors in the various
classes :

MURDEROUS ASSAULT UPON A MOTHER

B Y HER SON.

Henry Thomas Simmons, a tall powerful-looking
young man, 22 yeArs of age, the sou of a master
engineer, carrying on business in Wellington-street,
Blackfriars-t oad, was brought before Mr. Burcham,
at the Southwark Police-c.,urt yesterday, charged
with commitiiug a brutal and inh Kman assault upon
Elizabeth Simmons, his aged mo her.
The complainant-, who exhibited a black r-ye and
st veral cuts on the nose and face, stated very
reluctantly that en the previous afternoon she took
her husband's tea to the factory, acrd boing.rather
liter than usual he abused her very much. The
prisoner then time up to her and in a rough way
told her to go out, and when she got into the yard
ho knocked h r down and struck her on the eye
when she was down.

Mr. Burcham—B9t your face anti nose is cut.
She replied that that was quite true, but her
husband inflicted those cuts some days back.

The prisoner here, iu the mo>t impudent manner,
said that his mother called him a thief, and tate
pawned his cl.ithes, so that he had nothing to put
on except his working dress.
The mother denied his assertions. She had
always behaved kind to him, and in return she was
being continually4-used by him and his father.
Silo, however, never complained before.
Mr. Burchamasked ber what her husband was I

•
She replied that he was a master engineer, and
employed sevtral men, and all he allowed her last
week t ) miintam six of them was 12s.
The prisoner said that his naoth...r spent the
money iu drink, and that caused all the quarrels.
Mr. Burcham told him that even if such was the
fact it was no re oon why she should be maltreated
by him in such a brutal way. He was not content
wish knocking her down, but he must strike her
when down, and that in a violent manner. Any
little spark (..f feeling that be might have for his
mother ( ught to have taught him to protect her,
instead of assaulting her, and had it not been for
provocations he migt_t hate received from her, un-
der the influence of drink, he should have inflicted
the full punishment on him the law authorised hire.He should,' however, sentence him to six weeks'
hard lab
As the prisoner was being removed by
tradesman
Mis. Elizabeth Stroud, the wise of a.

from what she had seen of her she was a well be-

Mr.' Burcham said that he was now quite satis-
fied that alth ugh the poor woman had been so
cruelly treated by h r son, she had been reluctant
to telt all she had suffered from his violence. A.
more mill and atrocious case on the part of a sou
towards his mother he never heard of, and from
the evidence of Mrs. Stroud, who had humahely
come forward, the shorter imprisonment which
he had inflicted was quite inadequate to the crime.
He should sentence him to six months' hard labour,
instead of six weeks ; and if his father should be
brought up no dout he would 133 sent to keep
company with him in the House of Correction.
