GERMAN Y. AUSTRIA.—Vienna dates are to Oct. 21. Ti c ministry hes at length, slur much hmitation, resolved upon promulgating a provisional oromize ti n e foe Hungary. Tuffs memure seems destined to operate during the continuance of the state of siege. Its advantages are limited to the definition of eaci functionary's activity, which is, in me far, a benefit, that each petty Want will have his tether, and a step will be put to the present confusion of oppression. The provisional orpuierion is purely admiaistrative, and contains no prorsiou about the diet or the diets, &brut elections to the Reirhstay, or any other representative areem lily. TI.C6C provisions will, therefore, have to come out at the ramp time with the other constitutions of the provinces of the empire. Radetzky he been appointed governor-general of the Lombard-Venetian kingdom. General (Laskowski, commander in Venice,. is ap pointed governor of the fortress of Olmutz, the pro yeted works of which are to be finished. General recliner is to go to Venice to take Gorekowski's place. The remarks with which Lloyd notices this app 'intellect are worthy of notice, as exhibiting the conecieuenees now uppermost of the shame which the Austrian government has incurred in the eyes of Europe by the Hungarian executions. " (Lmeral Peckner; it is laid, " wai,due.ng the years frost 1834 to 1838, commander of the Austrian army of occupation in the States of the Church, and by his humane conduct acquired great popularity." The report spread yesterday of the condemation of l'aul Nyars at Path, has not been confirmed. So far from that, Paul Nyars hes not been arrested at all, it seems. Count Clete= Raday has been condemned to two years' imprisonment. Large divisions of troop+, with numerous artillery, have been ordered down the Danube, which has given rise to the rumour that these demonstrations aro egaint Turkey. The Pretv contradicts this report, and ascribes these warlike dispositions to causes which affect Hungary alone. Bar ,n Sehringer is expected in Frith; and the publication of the ordinance affecting the future organisation of Hungary wiil probably take place on his arrival. Nothing certain is yet brown about the amount of indemnity destined for the possessors of Kossuth notes. or whether they will pt any compensation at all. The amount of notes to be given in being, in fact, not yet known, and the term for their delivery being indefinite , the rate of sompensation has been named by the papers rather prematurely. I believe, myself, that no indemnity whatever is intended, and that the talk about it has been encouraged by the government, just as the ru mours about the clement treatment of Hungarian primers were encouraged, merely se an incentive for renender. The people get rid of their receipts for surrendered ‘ tomtit notes at any price. Dealers in champagne my that their customers offer them payment in this paper at 80 per cent. discount. la addition to the Dalmatians, Slovaks, and Ser- Time, the Ruthenian' have also presented's petition le the emperor, praying for operate nationality, &o. PRUSSIA.—Oar oseresposdent writes: DID.LIN, Ocr. 23. M. Wangenheim left Berlin yesterday evening, after having resigned his place as representative at Hanover in the Verscaltungo-Ralk. Having protested against the.convocation of the Roieleslay, he felt that he could no longer, with consistency, form a member of a council one of whose thief aims was the 'Reim of that assembly. It is expected that the plenipotentiary of Saxony, M. Zeschau, will follow I very speedily the example of M. Wangenheim; and ' 3 that then the Vencollwip-Rath will be definitively dissolved. BAVARIA.—Movicu, OCT. 19.—The eleetro. telegraphic connexion between this city and Vienna will be completed by the 14 of December, and it is believed that it will be opened to the public on the use BA da. DELI.The official Mutts peblished on the 18th instant the announcement of the Grand Duchy's adhesion to the Prussian alliance, concluded on the 24th of May, 1849, especially in what concerns the federal tribunal of arbitration. The convention will be submitted to the assembly of the states. FRANKPORT, OCT. 22,—0n the 24th instant the electric telegraph between this city and Berlin will be opened to the public. A despatch up to twenty word+ for the whole way will oast four rixdollars, and 24 silver groats, and up to 100 words 14 rind. and 12 silo. gr. A shorter despatch, between Halle and Frankfort, up to 20 words, will cost S rind. 12 silver gr.; from 20 up to 100 words, 10 rind. 6 elver gr.

B.—There are 30,000 Turkiih troops in the Danubian principalifes Ise the mainte nance of repose and order. Two batteries, three battalions of infantry, and two synadroes of caw fry, hare already entered Jassy under the command of Mama Pasha. FRANCE. PABIt. Trainee, 610 s.w. When the proposal of M. Napoleon Basapare was debated in the club of the council of state, M. Thiers was so struck at the preponderance of legitimist views manifested in the meting, that he is said to have cried, "I was not aware that we had so many legitimists here." What was said by M. Thiers of the club of the council of state will now be said of the Legislative Assembly by many an observant person. The speech of M. Berryer yesterday was re markable as much for the opinions which it put forward as for the manner with which it was received. M. Berryer combated the project of M. Cretoa on the broad principle that it would not allow the elder Bourbons to return as kings; and, there fore, it was bAter that they should not re hire. "Do you think," said he, " that if the law wire abrogated, any result would be at e re reprds the persons most interested. No. In all human society, whatever be its form, the order of sovereignty is founded on one of two contradictory principle—the hereditary and the elective—both op posed, and either erzcladieg the other. Thus it is no longer a law of exile, but a principle which excludes from a territory. When the elective principle pre vails, and is the base of the constitution of a state, it excludes the hereditary principle." The Assembly could not believe, continued M. Berryer, full though it was of political passion, that any Bourbon would be found willing to return to France whilst the present regime lasts, to exercise merely the rights of a citizen. Therefore the proposal made was insincere. "It is contrary to generosity ; and, to explain my meaning perfectly, I ask, gentlemen, is there a secret desire lurking in the mod of either of the movers of the project to add to the pain of exile ? Do they suppose that it is necemary, two years nearly after the revolu tion, to make a sort of declaration, denying or dis puting, in exile, what remains to those princes—that, in fact, which honours and distirgalehes them ? Gen tlemen, when heirs of kings are far from the throne (eloignis du bone), when they are exiled from their conntry,they are still, for the remainder of the world, more than private gentlemen. (True, true.) . . . Can they be forced to forget the glorious past, which is their life, the only life they can have, in fact, when they were away from France? ('No, no,' from the benches of the committee.) No. Then do you think they will give up that honour of their own Record What would you think of bim were one of the Bourbons to do this? Would you rot despite him, I and would not the seeds be sown of disoontent and disorder?" And, concluded M. Berryer, how would that disorder be increased if one of them, accepting that I law, came forward to obtain the suffrages of a nation. i The project must be rejected, not only for the present, but from henceforward. M. Pascal Doprat followed M. Berryer, and spoke in favour of the proposal, f. 'r the very reason that the republic cannot admit princes, and that if the Bour bons returned they must oblitenee all traces of royalty. As such, the proposal would, he thought, be efficacious, and as such he voted for it. M. Dufaure thought fit to get up to reiterate what had been said in the committee by ministers. The proposal ho thought just, but inopportune, and there fore imprudent to adopt. The families alluded to, I said M. Dufaure, are not the object of any accusation; some of their 'limbos . , are, on the contrary, known for their gallant conduct, whilst others are innocent. I are authorised to say, that doriog the prorogation of the Assembly, the cabinet deliberated on this question. But we crime to the conclusion that it would not be safe to do so at preeent, seeing the state of the country. On the surface all is comparatively calm; the law is respected: the government obeyed ; labour is reviving; confidence is gaining strength. What is wanting is confidence in the future. We are like a patient who has been subject to a nervous Midi, and whore sensibility is so great that he re ceives every possible impression from external objects. Public opinion is just in that state easy to be alarmed. Well, if the propositions were admitted. would they tend to give confidence to the country P No. We do not think that the exiled families would plot or declare war sgaiost universal suffrage ; but, though personally they did no harm, their names would. Can it be denied that in a c ertain part of France the memory of the elder branch is dearly chin rished P What would not be the excitement amongst thepopulation there, who, betides, are not very ranrrk. able for their intelligence, at learning that the Assem bly had recalled the head of the branch which they so severe P M. Cretan said government could watch over what was dune, but the government is not anxious for such a task. And whilst the act was so interpreted there, it would be differently looked on elsewhere, where contrary opinions prevail ; for it would be said that you have restored the King of France, and anar chy would turn the change to its own advantages. This, then, is our opinion—the proposition is a good one, but brought forward too soon. When the fitting time shall arrive for such an act, the government will come before you of its own accord, and expiate its I reboil of to-day by proposing to you to abrogate the laws of exile now existing. M. Napoleon Bonaparte protested spied the course pursued by M. Berryer, sod m oused of launching the cry of war. He (Napoleon Bonaparte) bad attempted conciliatioaa. In opposition to the opinions put forward that the members of the Bourbon family would be dishonoured by returning to France. M. Napoleon Bonaparte read letters addressed to the Constituent Assembly, on the 19th May, 1848, by the Dukes de Nemours and d'Aumale. and the Prince de Joinville, in which the princes protested against the decree of banishment which was then in question, demanded that they should retain their quality of French cid seas, and declared that they would accept the appeal made to the nation. On the division, the proposal that M. Cretan's paw Jed be not taken into consideration was negatived by a majority of 381. This ended the debate, in which M. Ber Februarryer spoke foe the list time since the revolu - tion of y. M. Napoleon Bonaparte's proposal for setting at liberty the iasergynts of Jane transported without teial wee next on the order de jour. M. Lagrange impreirted a motion to postpone, put forward by M. Nosiest himself, and said that he held in his hand a inessrld from the insurgents at Belle-Isle, which he elemmadsd should be printed at the expose of the Assembly, and distributed to all the members. This the Assembly would not allow, bit M. Lagrange read peelers from this document which was a protest agidast the manner in which the prisoners were treated as to eating. clothing, cleanliness, medical as sistance, ete. M. Boursat read a speech in favour of the propo sition, and the minister of the interior said that as certain accusations had bees brought tome of the government functionaries, and ast ase eeeld not allow such a charge to remain unanswered, he would propose to adjourn the diecession to the next day. This was agreed to. • Accordingly the debate was resumed to-day after a vain attempt made by M. de °raiment to protest against certain words used by IL N.Boosparte hia speech of yesterday : M. Wean, Minister of the Interior, said that he would confine his reply to a few words, if the memo rid read by M. Lagrange, en the parading day, was not part of a system, which was now in practice in all the prime where political offenders were confined. Petitions are being signed in these establishments denouncing their regimen an intolerable, and eves lissortiog that the lives of the prison as are in danger. That regimen everybedi knows had been of late greatly improved 8184• wee more humane than it had ever been. 'These were calumnies which it weal& duty to refute. Seeing complaints daily repeated in the jeered', during the last two meths, he wished to satisfy himself with his own eyes. He resolved to visit the prisons of Paris. Having repaired toLa Force, where the prisoners were said to undergo the most cruel treatment, be found them ail assembled in the court, plying together and very gay, and not aware of being treat-d with so much barbarity. (Laughter.) At the Coaciergie it was s:•d that the prisoners were confined in damp cells. He had visited those cells, and founded them boarded, well aired, and perfectly dry. He bad asked several of the political inmates if these were the damp cells they complained off They re plied, the journals deceive the public. At the Pelagic the food of the prisoners was said to be of the worst description. Now, he had ascertained that the bread was of the first quality. It was so good, that other prisore:s confined in the same jail asked as a favour that it bo substituted for their bread, which he bad granted. The meat was also excellent, and could not ba of a bad quality, for it was supplied by a branch of the aepar:- mental administration, and he did not hesitate to de- dare that it was superior to the meat used in many of the wealthy families of the capital. Tre com plaints in the departments were equally unfounded. As to the inanrgeata of June, Collfintd at Belle Isle, their treatment was extremely humane. The minis ter then read a letter, addressed by CoL St. Pierre, go- vernor of the island, to M. Lagrange, in which he de scribed the treatment of the prisoner.. (M. Lagrange denied having received that letter.) One portion of the prisoners, added the minister, are in a constant state of insurrection ; and 815, who did not wish to be their accomplices, had demanded their removal to another ward. After a few words from M. Lagrange, M. Napoleon Bonapare and Gamic, M. Dahirel here sew and said that the interruption came from him. He perfectly recollec'ed seeing M. Bonaparte rho with all his collesgues in favoir of the decree—(numerous voices on the It'ght, " We ri collect seeing him also ")—and he would add that M. Bonaparte constantly voted with the majority until his return from the embassy to Madrid. (Loud lau4hter.) M. Bonaparte, running up the tribune, exclaimed, "There are arguments that cannot be refuted from the tribune, for the honour and dignity of the As sembly.Nurmurs.) Tula incident crested the greatest agitation in the I hall. Several members having presented themselves' at the tribunes cries'ef close the discussion arose on all sides, and the president having consulted the assem bly, the majority tumultuously closed the discussion. The noise nevertheless continued, and Messrs. Thouret and another member, who distinguished themselves by their clamours, were called to order by the Presi dent. After hearing M. Rance and M. Thouret. who prided in having been called to order, a ballot took place, when there appeared— For the proposition .. .. 183 Against it .. .. 419 Majority .. --236 The proposition was accordingly rejected.

DEATH or GOVERNOR WEST. —lt is our duty to reco:d the death of Martin West, Esq., the flat go vernor of Natal. For the last three or four months his honour's constitution had been undermined by a complication of diseases, among which dysentery was the most prominent. His sufferings were terminated on Wednesday evening last at 9 o'clock. His honour was in his 44th year. On Thursday morning the members of the executive government assembled in the council chamber, and in the presence of a respect able concourse of the public, Lieut.-Colonel Boys, being in command of her Majesty's land forces, and senior member of the executive council, proclaimed his assumption of the government, and took the usual oaths of office. The secretary to government having read the proclamation, the honourable the recorder administered the oaths. The baud of the 45th regt. having performed the Queen's Anthem, a salute was fired from Fort Napier at the close of the ceremony. Major Preston, Captain Gordon, district adjutant; Lieut.

TRIAL OF THE MANNINGS. OLD BAILEY. [ln another page will be found the eaneintion of yester day's proceedings, which appeared only in the late editions of yatseday's Ezpress.l THIS DAY. THE DEFENCE. The court opened this morning soon after 8 o'clock, at which early hour most of the seats were occupied by the same persons as yesterday. On the whole, however, owing to the muse previously mentioned—the excel encs of the arrangements mink by the sheriffs— there was a total absence of Inconvenient pre/Imre and of that thronging of the court and its trials for murder. Most of the counsel engaged in the ease were in court long before the proceedings were resumed. The isay metered the box two or three minutes before 10. The Lord Chief Baron and the two other learned judges 111661 s their seats on the bench at three minutes past 10. Immediately after the Manning's again appeared in court, Inking up the same relative position In the dock as yesterday, wasey, the two extremiqes in front. 1 Manning was dressed in the same manner as yesterday. The female prisoner WM a black satin dress, a plaid silk and on her heal a black net lappet, with yellow m il kelan Y' The examination was then resumed. Outing, examined by Mr. Bodkio.—Was a chemist. (A divas of the female prisoner was here produced.] He had examined chemically some stains on this dress, and believed that they had been produced by blood. Cross.ex +mined by Mr. Ballsatine.—Had placed the dress in cold distilled water. The stains whites he examined were in the skirt. Thera were some stales in the collar, bat could not say whether or not they were stains of blood. Re-examined by Mr. Bsikin.—His father was surgeon to the police force. lie had himself studied chemistry at Guy's Hospital. The stains on the collar were more like blood than anything eke. By the Lord Chief Berne.—Hod cut out the stained por tions of the dress, and placed them in distilled water, which become discoloured. The witness then describ ed the cheesiest experiments by which he had arrived at the con clusion that the stairs bad been produced by blood. A pre cipitate, he said, was formed. Oloisules of blood could be detected long alter the period of 'mining. Francis Worrell Stevens, examined by Mr. Clarkson.— Was a steak-broker, at 3, Royal Exchange, and had done business for the late Patrick O'Connor. On the 6th of August del' d to him 10 Sambre and Meuse shares, which were purchased on the 3rd. They were Nss. 6,460 to 6,469. (The shares were thin produced.) They were ordered either on the 2nd or the 3rd. In the month of May lest purchased for him 10 shares of the Amiens and Boulogne Railway ; they were Nos. 48,663 to 48,674. Delivered them to him on the 11th May. Knew the female prisoner. She came to his office on the Ist, tad, or 3rd of August, and introduced herself by saying that she had oeen recommended to him by Pa' rick O'Connor to invest two or three hundred pounds, cad that she wanted some shares in stock that would sell abroad. Asked her to say where she was going, that he might advise her. After a lirle hesitation she said she was going to Paris. He then suggested to her that she had better purchase French revise. She asked for the foreign railway share Ist, which he showed her. She wanted shares, she said, that had not been registered, because she wished to be able to sell them again without the consent of her husband ; and she asked whether or not she could do so it she purchased Boulogne and Auden*, and Sambre and Meuse shares. Witness replied that she could do so. She said she would call again, but did not do so. Crosaexasined by Mr. Ballantine.—The Sambre and Meuse shares purchased by O'Connor came to 271. 10i., and the Amiens and Boulogne to 711. 17s. 6d. Their value had diminished since May. O'Connor had never mentioned to him Mrs. Manning's name. Alexander Lamont. examined by Mr. Clarkson.—Wu as with the late Mr. O'Connor. Purchased for him, in April, twenty Bestern Counties shares-4001. consolidated stock. Green, a clerk at the Eastern Counties Railway termi nus, here proved the transfer. Ale :seder Lamont's examination resumed.—Purchased for lir. O'Connor 10 Sambre and Meuse Railway share, on the 27th of April last. Received them from Mr. Russell. Their numbers were 26,523 to 26,632. They were delivered by a clerk of Mr. Russell, named Wenham. Crossexamined by Mr. Ballantine.—Mn. Manning brought with her a note of introduction from O'Connor. shn Haywood, examined by the Attorney-General.—Was a clerk in the office of the solicitor of the Treasury. Was present at the police office on the 7th September, when a person named " John Swett" was examined, who bad since died. The deceased produced some scrip and an as., Ornment. (An assignment hearing the signature of Ilan- Ding was then produced.) Shilhibeer, examined by the Attorney-General.—Knew Manning's handwriting. (The assignment was then shown to the witness.) Did not believe the signature attached to the document produced to be Manning's handwriting. It appeared to resemble the writing in the body of the in strument. Hammond, a stock-breker's clerk, examined by the At torney.Oeneral.—Deposed to having seen Bassett pay Man ning 1101. on account of Eastern Counties shares. The pri soner represented himself as O'Connor. The money was paid in a hundred pound note, a five pound note, and five sovereigns. It was on the 11th of August. (The note was then produced.) It was endorsed " Charles James Butler," by which witness would identify it. Cram-examined by Mr. Sarjoant Wilkins.—Did not know who Charles James Butler was.

Paid the pasty presenting it 60 sovereigns, and gave him a ticket for the remainder. It was the practice of the bank to ask for the address. The party in this ease gave "7, New Weeteneweet, Bermondsey." Joseph Adamson, soother dark in the Bank, deposed to the payment of the remainder of the note in cash.

Sir diffloalttes were 111111 MIPS. In the int plain he bad to sabres the Ant bawl i• the lead. la the mat pleb, he had to asp a defense which at first sight appeared odious; and he would be followed by another counsel, whose duty ft would be to seek to destroy him whom he (Mr. Sorjeant Wilkins) wished to save. How did it happen that in this vagary it was always necessary for the judge to caution the jury against the representations of those who were the peahen& medians of liberty ? Who were thew rebels against j* tice ? Who were these refracts of our laws ? The jury and himself had alike read the history of the French revolt tfirmy• th N an oth a ing bas i e tad and itam crue l" l d pres th : t w re hi v el iu rtno w u i n th ced m rerditt without trial. He urged the jury, however, to banish from them the prejudices of the cue, sad to judge solely from the ' evidence before them. He did not dLtate to the jury what their verdict should bra; his duty was to watch his &dea -1 eery ; to see that every topic which could be urged spinet his client, if proved at all, should be proved in a Mime manner. His duty would then have been performed. That of the jury would still rusaio„ and it must not be decided by impulse or without caution; and he was out& deat the jury would tot consider him asking too much in asking to seek light more than human. The coessquentes if the investigation reached from earth to • never-ending fatuity, and every circumstance, therefore, should be well pandered. Now what was the nature of the defence—the defence which the prisoner had set up at the moment of his apprehension, aid in which he had sines persevered ? He would not quarrel with the law as laid down by the Attor ney-General. There would be little doubt that O'Connor 1 , had been murdered ; that this wretched man, whose fate alone excited sympathy was murdered by some one. The question i was, when was he murdered, where, and by whom ? It weal probable that he was murdered en the Bth of August, and there could be little doubt that the murder took place in the house of the prisoners. But by whom was he murdered ? Was be murdered by both ? If so, where was the proof of I, concert ? He thought the learned counsel for the prosecutioa had been misinstructed. The only two facts against Man-; ning were the purchase of the lime and that of the crowbar. The jury must not sense to the conclusion that the male I, always excelled in power and strength. History had taught them that woman seared !etcher in virtue and sank 1 deeper in vice than man ; and in this case he hoped to show that • woman made her husband a dupe, and was now seeking to save herself by his destruction. Now what reason was there for doubting that the lime purchased by Manning war wanted by him to de stroy slugs in the garden? lie gave his address when he purchased it, and there wee no concealment or mystery. Two days elapsed without its being sent home, and he exhi bited no impatience. For • garden like that at the back of the house it was natural that lime should be required. lie would :now speak of the crowbar. Where was it procured? There were plenty of merino stores where such an instrument could he procured if wanted for • deadly purpese ; but the prisoner ordered it at one of the most respectable shops in Hing Williaustreet. Was that consistent with the supposition of his intending to I commit murder ? The press had told them that Manning was a very conceited and consequential person. It so, that would account for the course pursued by Manning on per ceiving that the crow-bar was not wrapped up. Ile said, " What, can't you afford • bit of paper ?" and then took the messenger into a stationer's shop, where he bought • sheet of brown paper, in which It was enveloped. For what purpose was this craw-bar wanted? For the commission of murder a poker woald have been a far more fitting instrument. Tree stones could have been just as easily raised with the tongs. Looking at the pub hefty of the whole thine, and considering that there were many ways of avddine it, he submitted that no inference could be drawn prejudicial to the male prisoner. Thee-, he repeated, were the only two pieces of evidence which at all required explanation. Now if there were concert before, there wee a total cessation of concert after. No doubt the crime might have been done by one. The hand that fired the pistol could easily complete the deed. The bury ing could have been done by oce. The polioemea had told them that the stones could be lifted up by one person. Well, then, if the murder could be committed by one, let them look for • motive, not hsrdeaing their minds against any impressions which he might seek to make. If they should do wrong by acquitting the male prisoner, no man could blame them if they had the approval of their own consciences. , Now what motive had the mde Manning ? Oa the other side, it appeared to him that they were about to set up the wild theory that Manning was jealous of his wife. He feared that Manning was not the man to be jea lous. He was far too easy with regard to the honour of his wife. When O'Connor was seised with a fainting lit, who fetched him brandy The Tao last time Manning and O'Connor were seen together a peeled friendship existed between them. Then, with regard to lucre, was Manning ever seen with is. that belonged to O'Connor? Never, until he was seen in pos session of the 1001. note, which was part of the scheme by which Mrs. Manning attempted to dupe him. It was easy to arty that Manning was attempting to escape infamy by throwing the blame on his wife. Why, had he not, on the supposition of his innocence, suffered enough already ? If his instructions were to be relied upon, all the appeals that could be addressed to the jury on this point would be fruitless. lie would show that Mrs. Manning was capable of such on act—that she was capable of consummate wicked ness, and could carry it off with a face which happily few women could assume. The learned counsel then pro seeded to analyse the evidence. With regard to the evidence of Barnes as to the condition in which the body was found, he said there could be no doubt that the female prisoner had sufficient strength to tie up the body. He would not urge topics which were evithntly un sustainable, and it was impossible to deny that the murder was probably committed on the night of the 9th. There was • principle of law that the husband was the master of the wife. But could the jury doubt, from the evidence with regard to O'Connor's visits, that the real master was Mrs. Manning. The note of invitation was written by her ; she it was who complained of O'Connor's not coming ; and her whole bearing bore out the notion that she was supreme, and that, with regard to O'Connor, cupidity was her guiding principle. Iterating saw Mrs. Manning at his home on the 12th, and he prayed the jury to mark her consummate hypocrisy. She asked him if he had seen O'Connor, and she replied that she had not seen him since Wednesday. She then said that he bad been invited to dinner on Thursday, and that she had been to his lodgings to gee why he had not come ; and then, her pretence of mind forsaking her for the only time, and her cheek blanching, she said, " Poor Mr. O'Connor; he was the beet friend I had in Lon don." Why " poor Mr. O'Connor," unites it were that she uttered its words under a temporary absence of mind, know ing that in the kitchen lay the body of her former companion, and that she had his property in her possession. With regard to her visit to the house, it was clear that she knew the nature of his property, and that property was found in her possession. O'Connor hav ing been seen on London-bridge at a quarter before five, at a quarter-past five he was seen withia one hundred yards of Manning's house. There was no evidence as to the puma who admitted him, but it could not be doubted it wee the female prisoner, who, amercing to her own statement, left the house to go to his lodgings at six o'clock. At • quarter before seven Manning himself was seen sitting on the garden-wall. Now he (Mr. Sergeant Wilkins) did not mean to contend that the male prisoner had not, after the translation, aided in secreting the body ; his love for hie wife might have induced hint to do so. The witness who spoke of his being on the wall, said he was deemed as usual, and smoked and drank fox about half an hour. Throughout the whole a ff air Mrs. Manning seemed to have taken as much pains to deceive and dupe her husband u to deceive, dupe, and destroy O'Connor. There could have been no concert between Mumble and his wife as to the place to which she should go. Her own statement was opposed to such an hypothesis. After Thursday they were never seen together, toe was there any proof of subsequent concert. It ;would probably be attempted to be shown that there were torus of endearment existing between O'Connor sad Mrs. Manning. He had no doubt there were saaniOntwarn festadona of affection ; she might have poured eaa-deecelogne on his head, but would any man suppose that she loved him She love O'Connor I Why did she steal his property or content hie death? That ISTa must be strong indeed which bade defiance to Heaven, and sop a& at the ressechesof man ; and, lithe hypothesis were eeriest that Mrs. Manning loved O'Connor, affection would have roused Rule and she would not bare gone fist to kie house sad then to Edinburgh to apply his property to her own use. The learned counsel then commented at length on the evidence with regard to Mrs. Manning's visit to O'Cciener's home. The next testimony, he said, was that of Mr. Mussy. The learned Attontey-General had led them to expect something important, but Memey's evidence really animated to nothing. Manning's question whether Massey thought marten's could go to heaven, though odd in itself, was not very wonderful in en age when a vicious morality was stalking abroad. Massey, being a medical stu dent, frequently talked about his own profession. Henning asked him, he said, where the brain lay. Otis would have supposed that any one who had ever passed • butcher's shop would be informed on that subject. Ou further examination, however, it came out that the question arose on a professional c tnversci ea about the struc ture of the human body. There was really nothing in what Manning had said to Many at different times which might not have been utterred by numbers of innocent persona in the coarse of their history. The shovel was bought by Mrs. Manning on the Bth, the very day on which she wrote the in vitation to O'Connor. With regard to Bainbridge, tlsheeker, and his wife, it was clear they were both mistaken with respect to Manning's expressions in relation to his wife's departure. Mr. and Mrs. Bainbridge were both very pan tive, but they contradicted each other with regent to the ' words in which Manning referred to his wife's having left him. Mrs. Manning herself had stated on her examination ' that she left London without her husband's knowledge. It seemed - to him (Mr. Serjeant Wilkins) that Manning himself afforded the beat explanation of the whole matter when he said at Jersey, " I wee a great fool that I did not stay behind and explain all." Whatever • man said there were numbers of uecharitable persons who would treat his words as evidence against him. Even a child would o'ten tell • lie to ovoid con sequences. Supposing Mrs. Manning to have com mitted the &el, her husband would be in doubt as to the course he must pursue. If he declared what had been done, his wife might be brought to infamy. He at length yielded, perhaps to bad reasoniegs ; Le might have even assisted in secreting the body ; sal then afterwards he said," 1 was a great fool that I did not explain all." One thing was clear—that for a time there was somethirg which looked like resolution on his part, for several cloys elapsed before he yielded to his fears and le ft London. Mr. lel'ex 1, *most intelligent pelieteofficer, said Mrs. Manning was a consistent character throughout. W leen he entered the room he said, " Mrs.Smith,l presume." " Yes," she replied, with ell the courtesy of the drawing-room. On his telling her that he suspected she was the wife of George Frederick Man ning, her cheek did not blush in the least. lie mentioned scrip. " Scrip !" she said, " what scrip." The scrip was produced. Still no manifestation of feeling, but at length she declared that she had some scrip of her own. When secured of the murder of O'Connor, she said, " Murder Mr. O'Connor 1 he was like a tatter to me." He might have been • father to her, but she was a strange child to hiss. On being coesties.eil as to her husband, she said she did not know wihra he was. He had been a bad husband, and had once attempted to kill her. The learned fierjeant proceeded to analyse the evidence as it related to Manning. With rrspeet to the powder found in his cost, it was hardly to be wondered a', tint, being a sportsman, a little powder should be found in hi. cue. It should le remembered that he was always anxious to see his wife, and to see her in the presence of a third person. Ile had no doubt she would confess, as it was undonbte Ily she who had shot O'Connor. She was a violent woman, and was determined,to be revenged of O'Connor. The newt witnest was the chemist, who had proved as to the blood, and he was followed by Stevens, the stockorokor. Ile called the particular attention of the jury to this evidence. Mrs. Manning asked for shares which did not require to be regis. tered, as she wanted shares which she might cell without the knowledge of her husband. It appeared that she wanted to cheat her husband as well as every one else. Could there be any doubt but that she wee at that time intending to steal the Bemire and Meuse and Amiens shares from O'Connor. Then they had Mr. . Lomond, and Mr. Green, the transfer clerk in the Eastern Counties Railway. Ile called upon them to look at Manning, whose face was so remarkable as never to be for gotten by embody who had once seen him. What occurred 2 A person went to Killick's office, supposed to he Manning, but Shilliheer: had deposed that the signature to the transfer was not his handwritinz. The clerk could not swear that it was Manning who had dealt with him. A note was paid of 1001., which was afterwards chv.ged at the Bank's with Man ning's name on it. There was no doubt hut that Mrs. Manning h6d obtained his signature before presenting it at the Bank. Where was the note afterwards found ? Why in the possession of Mrs. Manning, in Edinburgh. Ile had now gone through the evidence. lie had been c6lled on to perform • painful duty. Not because he doubted the inno cence ef kis client, but because he felt the enorm an amount of prejudice that had been created, and the way in which the case had been written up. Ile also his feelings lacerated because it was his painful duty to defend the husband by attempting to criminate the wife. He would he followed by his learned friend Mr. Ballantine, and he truseed that what he had just said would not be obliterated by the ingenuity or eloquence ef his learned friend. Let their verdict be one of reason, not of feeling Let no compassion for sex warp their judgment, but decide as between two human beings, and let justice be their only guide. At the conclusion of the learned eerjoant's address the jury retired for refreshment. Mr. Ballantine commenced his defence of the female pri soner by complimenting his learned predecessor (the Attor ney General) on the candour and impartiality of his address. Ile could not ask the jury to dismirs from their minds all that had transpired relative to this cue up to the preeeut time, because, from the manner in which it bad filled the public prints, such oblivion would be impossible. He was aware of the calumnies which had been circulated against his unhappy client, but worst of all he com plained of the manner in which she had been attacked by his learned friend. It wee a case unparalleled in • court of justice, to see a leaned counsel endeavouring, in the wanner his felted had done, to blacken the character of a prisoner, and that prisoner a woman. He (Mr. Ballanine) did not mean to follow such a course. Thus to attack an unfortunate prisoner on trial for his lifo, and who might be led from that court to the scaffold, was a course, in his opinion, derogatory to the profession, and, sooner than follow it, he would abandon his profession at once and for ever. He should now endeavour to call the attention of the jury to the facts of the cue. His learned friend, the attorney-general, hadtold them there were two points in which his client might be found guilty That whether as • principal or din accessory before the fact, she was equally responsible, and, that the jury might find her guilty on either charge. Ammonia acts were at best extremely vague, and in the case of man and wife, should be received with extreme hesitation. Unless they were clearlyof opinion that the woman was pre sent at the murder, they could hardly come to a conclusion that she had had any previous share in its arrangement. He must follow the dates in this transaction with the great est care. The prosecution had given them no proof of the woman's presence at the deed. What were the dram stances ? O'Connor seemed to have formed an illicit con nection with the female prisoner, but such a falling from virtue was not at all an indication of a ferocious character. It appeared that she had bean ill-treated by her husband, and the only use that could be made of the connection was to lead the jury rather to the conclusion that she was not likely to murder O'Connor. It appeared that he was a man passed the middle age of life, and therefore likely to concede to a woman he loved almost anything she y f v : i t tut raiseia murd e r : h e e t h ;l7 8 :: I t ke r il l ° st li t i r t l o b. i s ': 8, It t b at u t ap peared a I lasked, and that his i did necea t ry attasat to oparti fir ocir e whe ther or no her husband knew of the connexion, as it was not material to his case. It was quite clear that she was constantly away from home; and it appeared that fifteen months ago her boxes were left at O'Conner's lodgings. According to the account of the Misses AMC, Mrs. Manning followed her boxes, and it appeared those ladies behaved with the greatest propriety, sr I did not let out their house for say improper tampon. It showed, ho were!, that Mts. Manning had no inducement to commit murder, that she might have got into comparatively wealthy keeping, and the jury could easily imagine how a young woman might obtain all she wanted from an old man without any :wares to violence. The jury must conclude one of two things, either that she was a most abandoned woman, in which case she might have got whatever she required without violence, or eke she was a person of frail but kindly feelings, in which ease eke would be incapable of the act. He now came to the day in which this most appalling murder was committed. It was quite clear ehst the unhappy man bad been 1/111441fade ^ and that he was buried in Manning's kitchen, l, , t , T., j , f :. 4 •'47 0 ,1'." - „i ' .t ' ' :;`:i'^ O-' ? ri ! l t - X e
