The puttirg forward of the king consort of Spain indicates a move of the religious party. Nalvar.l has been of late lukewarm on the Roman crusade. He embarked in it warmly at first, pro habil at the suggestion of France. Bat latterly there has been a wish to draw back, possibly at the same sug4estion.

Keening asked ma on one occasion what might be given to a man to produce ettepsfaction so as to make • man put his pen to paper. He asked whether laudanum or chloroform would do it. I made some careless answer to th eff:ct that I had hnrd of drugs being used for such purposes. He also, respecting O'Connor, prop sed to have him at the house.

I said I believed it was ander the ems, where a tight injury would be attended with fatal result. lie dm asked me where the brain was placed, and I pointed to the part. He also asked me whether I had ever seen an air gun fired, and whether it made any report. I said I bad heard of such a thing, but never sew one discharged.

We went on until we came to • sta tictoet'e shop, when he In sight a sheet of brown paper end wrapped it up. We waked together to the Maize, when we separated, and the prisoner told me where to take the crow bar to, and that a person would pay me 'or it. The witness went on to state that he took the crowbar to the prisoner's house, and saw Mrs. Manning, who complained that the prism was more thin she expected, and he replied that it was longer than usual, and she gave him 3s. 81, wtich was the price of the crowbar. By Mr. Ballantins.—When Mr. Manning ordered the crow-bar, he did not say what he wanted it tor. Ido not know whether it was called • rippeng chisel or a crow-bat in the bill.

On the 9th of August the female prisoner came to the shop to pur chase a shovel, and she said she wished to Lave a strong one.

The shovel produced is the one I sold her. By Mr. Ballantine—This shovel cost fifteen-pence. She might have purchased • common spade for two shillimo. William Sopp proved that he obtained the shovel referred to by the last witness from Mr. Bainbridge the broker, to whom the prisoners had sold all their furniture.

On Friday, the 14th August, I was in Minvereplase selling matchee, when I saw the female prisoner, and asked her if she wanted her steps cleaned. Ste said to me, " Can you come on Monday I" and I told her I could not. She then asked me it I could do anything else besides cleaning steps, and I told her I could not. I agreed to do some work for her for fieepeuce. I offered to clean toe back kitchen, but she told me she had done that herself, and she 'hen wanted me to wash a basket. I told her I could not do so because my hand was bad, and the prisoner then let the water run through the basket until it all ran away. By Mr. Ballaatine—l took away a razor, an egg, and a purse. I wit tell the truth—it will go the furthest—(a lauab). I also took away a pair of stockings, but I don't re member taking a smelling-battle.

I had known the male prisoner for about two onmebs before July lest. He made me an offer to sell all his linkers, and I went over the house with the female pTi- MIR, and agreed to give her 131. for the whole of it.

Vie male prisoner afterwards told me that his " ge wgaw" was not going away for • fortnight, and he pro posal to lodge with me for that time, and he agreed to give ten shillings per week. Shortly after that he told me that be had started his wife of into the country, and that night he slept at ay house. There was acme linen in the house whir-Isms' not included in my purchase, and he wished mete take charge of it, and also • new hat, and he said be should be in the eoentry about two months.

Oa the Mon day before he went away he told her that he had sent his wife elf into the country. At this time the goods were still in the house in Minver.place, and she aeked the prisoner whether he woald sleep there, and be replied, " I 'mild not sleep there for B) Berjesnt Wilkins—Witness would swear the prisoner did not say citable wife had started off into the country, but that he had sent her there himself. The witness was cross examined at some length u to her reason for supposing that there were marks of blood upon the dress, but the grounds for her coming to that conclusion did not appear to be of a very satisfactory kind. , Matilda Wades deposed that is August last she was liv ing at Mr. Bainbridge's, and remembered the prisoner Frederick Manning coming there on the 13th August. He sett her to Miner-plate to fetch hie wife, but she could net find the street, and the prisoner then went himself. On the evening before the goods were removed, he told her that if anybody inquired for him, she was to say that she had not teen him for a fortnight. By Beljeant Wilkins—When she was first examined she said that she did not know whether the prisoner said that his wife had gone into the country, or whether he had sent her there. Mrs. Scholefield deposed that she lived opposite the psi *omen' house in Minver.place. About half past three o'clock on Monday, Aug. 13, she saw the female prisoner go away in a cab with several box., end other luggage. The male pamper went to the house about half past the, and knocked at the door and the window, and wh.n he found he mould not get in he game to her and asked if she had seen his wife go away. She told him she had, and he then asked if she had any luggage with her, and she said she had, and the prisoner then thanked her and went over to Ilium, place and knocked at No. 2 and went in. . . William Byford, the driver of a hackney tab, deposed that he drove the male prisoner to the Southampton Rail way Station on the morning of the 11:h August, and by his direction he went through Bermondsey-street, which was much further round. _ William Kish, another cab driver, proved that on the afternoon of Monday, the 13th August, he was engaged by the female prisoner, and be drove her from Minver-play with a quantity of luggage, to the Brighton Railway flta- , tion. On their way she stopped at a stationer's and par- , chased some cards, which were placed on her legnags. A portion of the luggage was left at the Brigliton Railway, and he then drove the prisoner to the Birmingham Rail way, where she got out with the rest of her luggage. William Day, a porter at the Brighton Railway station, identified the femsle prisoner as the perm who had brought the luggage on the day in question, and said that by her di rection he nailed cards upon the boxes There was written on them " Miss Smith, pees-agar to Brighton." Richard John Moxhay deposed that he was superintendent of polies at Edinburgh, and on the 21st of August, in conse quence of a:me information he received be went to a house in Leith-walk, where he saw the female prisoner, end said " lam Smith, I presume." She replied that was her name. He put some further questions t• her, and she said she had only been in Edinburgh a short time, and could gee no refe rences except to the p erson who had recommended her to the lodgings. He then inquired if she had any scrip or railway shares, end she said she had none. Witness then, in an under tone, said his impression was that she was the wife of Fre.e. rick George Manning. Witness then requested that a gentle man named Debi unlike had tour panted dim,might be intro ducts, and he said she was the lady who had offered him the scrip for sale. He then &eked her if ahe had any objection to let oils examine her luggage, and she consented, and the first thing be observed on missing one of her trunks was a b.ll.head, with the name of F. G. Manning, as the proprietor of an hotel at 'nation. He then told her that his suspicions were confirmed, and after giving hoe a caution, he asked her again if she had any scrip, end she replied, " Oh yes, some of my own." He made a search, and discovered a quan tity of eceereiges, and also a number of scrip certificates of %h. Sambre and Meuse, Boulogne and Amiens, and other railways. In a purse he found 73 sovereigns, a 601. note, and six 61. Bank of England notes. He afterwards asked the prisoner if she could give him any information where her husband was, and she replied that she really did not know, for she had left London suddenly on the Monday afternoon. She alluded to O'Connor, and ■,id, "Murder O'Connor! certainly not: he was the best friend 1 had; be was like • father to me. Tho lest time I saw him was on the Wednesday, and he &pp's:sited to come to dinner on the Thursday, bat did not do so; and, as I felt angry at his conduet, I went to his house to inquire for him in the evening, and I went again the next night to in quire for Mm, but I never saw hint again after the Wednes day night." The witness added that the prisoner repeatedly complained of her husband's ill-ussge, and said that he had threatened her with a knife, and had said he world cut her head off. By Berjeant Wilkins—She told me that when she Hut started she did not know whether she intended to go to Paris or to Scotland. _ _ _ Edmund Langley, a sergeant of pollee, deposed that he ap;rehended the mat.: prisoner at Jersey, on the 26th of August. When he went into the room where he was the primer said "Is that you, sergeant." He then said he was glee' he had come, as he was going to London to ex plain the mater. He then said, "Is the wretch taken ?" BVinaess replied elm he believeu she was, and he then said he supposed they found • great deal of money upon her, 1,3001. ur 1,4001. Witness told him he must consider him self in custody for the shocking occurrence that look Macs in his house on the oth of August. He replied " Oh, very welt; I can explain it all." Wetness then handcuffed him, when the prisoner said " She shot him. She invited him to dinner ; the c:otlt wes laid, and she asked tim to go down stairs and wash his hands, and when see got to the lantern she put one arm round his neck and shot him with the other." The superin tendent of police at Jersey, who !accompanied him, acted what wee dons with the body, and be replied, "Ste had a grave dug for him." He brought the prisoner to London loon afterwards, and on their way from Southampton the jrison:r asked him whether, if Lie wife was to confess, be should go tree. Wi.nees declined to answer his question, and he then said he was sure she would confect when she saw him, particularly if it was in the presence of a clergy man. In one of the pockets of a coat belonging to the pri• ' eoner he feund a small quantity of gunpowder wrapped np in tissue paper. Mr. J. Ileynes, superintendent of police, deposed, that on the 21st August he went to the London-bridge station, and took pos.essien of two boxes, on which there were cards he tries the inscription, " Mrs. Smith, passenger to Paris, to be left till called for." upon opening one of the boxes he liscoverett several articles on which there were marks of blowl. Witness came up in the train from Southampton with t:te male prisoner and Sergeant Langley, and on their journey the prisoner wished to know when he could see his wife, and whether he should be likely to see her the next day. Witr me told him he did not stink that he would, and then cautioned him that it was • very serious affair, and be had best! r be careful what he said. The prisor.er replied that l be knew it was very serious, and he was terry that he had gone away, for if he had stopped he could have explained everything. He added, that if he could ass his wife in the presence of • magistrate, he had no doubt she would coefese. He then said that she had shot O'Connor as he was going down stairs, gad he added, that she was a violent woman, and would think no more of killing a man than a cat. He also said that she had repeatedly followed him with a knife. Tee prisoner likewise said that his wife was determined to be revenged on O'Connor for having induced them to take the how in Minver-place, and had got them to lay out 301. fur furniture. promising to some and live with them, and he afterwards refused to do so. During the conversation wit ness remarked that there were other wounds on the bead besides the pistol shot, and the prisoner made no reply. The letter referred to in the evidence was then put in. It was dated on Wtdneeday, the 8:11, and was as follows " Dear O'Connor,—We shall be glad to gee you at dinner to.mirrow at five o'clock.—Yours affectionately, MARIS."

It is most remarkabl-, however, that he attends very little to business, but ia meetly enraged in religious study, and in the affairs of Jerusalem. He is a punctual attendant at the synag' gun twice every day of the week, and wherever he gees is aeoompanied by his Hebrew tutor. Indeed, his incessant devotion to the reli gion of his ancestors has secured for the young Baron a uni versal reputation.—Jewish Ceresiek. Or AN ECCENTRIC TRAVELLER.—A gentle- man, named Rsndall, a solicitor in Southampton, was in the habit of takinr a tour every year, which occupied him between two and three months. He would leave Southamp ton suddenly, scarcely acquainting his confidential clerks that he was going, and no ona would know anything about him, Until hie clerks would receive a letter from him dated perhaps from Bt. Petanburg or Vienna, About two months sines he left Southampton suddenly and secretly, immerdine to his usual practice , and no OM knew of his whereabout until his clerks receleed a letter about a fortnight sines from him from Canada. Since which, information has teen received that Mr. Randall was taken ill of cholera, died and was buried in twelve home in America. Had he died a day before no one in this country would pra bably have ever hoard anything about his decease ; but he hap pened to have been introduced to some one about a day be fore he was taken ill, which person attended him in his ill ness, and has written to Southampton the particulars of his death. Mr. Randall was one of the most talented men in kis profession in the south of England. He was unmarried, and about 45 years of age. He was a peat rionnoimerm in v ictuals, and Isis collodion is said to be worth 20,0001. Mr. Sandell has died wealthy, and has left a large portion of his revert, to charities and schools in Southampton. He was much reameetad in the town, and the news and particulars of his death have amid a great sensation there. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. TRIAL OF THE MANNINGS.

PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM. GREAT MEETING AT THE FREE-TRADE HALL, MANCHESTER. The Manchester Financial and Parliamentary Re form Argentina have opened their second winter's e mpaign very appropriately, by inviting their two parliementuy re. presentative., Mr. Milner Macon and Mr. Bright, to one of their immense gatherings in the Free-trade Hell. The meeting had a double object: the one, t, gather, as far se possible, from their members, what hope the experience of the past amnion in parliament had given them of success in the ultimate attainment of their objects; and tie other wee, the establishment .f a working-man's freehold society, for obtaining votes on the principle of those established at Bir mingham end other towns. With the lest-ninsed object in view, the council of the Manchester Association had invited Mr. lames Taylor, Jun., of Birmingham, tho founder of these societies to be present, for the purpose of ex plaining the principles on which they ate worked, and of showing how admirably they had been found to answer the end in view. There was also another object in view, which, if sot annouaced beforehand, was understood by many, and gave great additional interest to the meeting. It is known that Mr. Bright has, since the close of lest session, made a tour in Ireland, and those who know how much consideration the hon. member has given to the ques tions arising out of the policy hitherto punned by the British legislature towards that country, were naturally anxious to learn how far his views might have been strength ened by all that fell under his observation during his recent tour. _ _ The platform was crowded by members of the council of the association, including some of the leading merchants, manufacturers, and tradesmen of the town and neighbour hood, and alto a number of seats in front of the platform, in the body of the ball, were occupied by the more respectable portitn of the audience, whilst the extensive galleries of the Free Trade Hall were appropriated to the nee of laths,. Ono. Wusorr, Esq., presided, and entered the hall a little alter half-put seven (the hour for which the meeting had bean convened), accompanied by the members for Manchester and soma other friends. Their appearance was the signal for a loud burst of hearty cheering. The chairman having opened the proceedings, Mr. Sickle, the secretary, read the following report The council have to report, that since the last meeting 6/ the association, which was held in May, they havv been earnestly mimed in endeavouring to extend its basis, by an active correspondence with the friends of financial and par liamentary reform is all ports of the kingdom, as well an by the continued enrolment of new members. From the letters which they receive daily, and from the other sources of in formation at their command, they are strongly impressed with the conviction that there is a powerful and growing feeling throughout the country in opposition to the waitehil mismanagement of the national resources by the government, and of increasing discontent at the too ready acquiescence in that mismanagement by the legielat-ere. On this subject there is also a wide spread desire for the diffusion of information • nct only of that peculiar kind which exposes in detail, and lays bare to the public view the extrevagant expenditure and corrupt practices which characterise the various depart meats of the public service, but also of that kind of informa tion which shall mewed practical means both for getting rid of abuses and of preventing their recorrence in future. On the question of the necessity of fiaancial reform, the council have found a singular unanimity pervading all clause of political and social reformers, own in a great measure, as they believe, to the labours and valuable publications cf the Liverpool Financial Reform Association. But that se sociation confines itself to the spreading of intimation on the subject of financial abuses alone, leaving out of view one great political evil—the want on the part of the t .xpayers of a mote direct and Emplite control over the House of Commons. I The council of this assiciation, acting in the spirit of the resolutions passed et the meetings held on the 30th cf January and the let of February lost, have sought to promote the attainment both of financial and psrliamentary reform by the practical means pointed out in thou reselu from—namely, by watchful attention to the registration of parliamentary electors in boroughs and counties, and by promoting the increase of the hboral voters in the county constituencies by means of the forty shillings freehold fran chise. In furtherance of these object., the council Lave availed theuseeives of the services of Mr. Prentice, who has visited upwards of forty cities and towns in England, Wide*, and Scotland. Mr. I', entice hu made a brief report to the council of his lab eau, and of the state of public feeliog in the places he has visited, As we have already reported the various meetings men tioned by Mr. Prentice we need not repeat this portion of his elaborate and comprebe ' , sive report. It went on to say that " bubstautive rep: r s of the meetings appear( d in all the places where newspapers nee published, and coptes of the reports were in some places reprinted for distribution. In the English towns the tracts of the Liverpool, and in Scotch towns three of the Eliabergh Association were invariably recommended se furcial.mg authentic proofs of the neres-4 of further parliamentary retorms; eserywh• re the forma tion of freehold land societies was recommended es ten excel lent means of amending the instrument by which other re forms w ere to be effected ; and everywhere di- re was a strong inculcation of the duty of ell who might, by claiming to 'de placed on the register, become voters in the boroughs, to eyed themselves of the opp atuaity. In no rose Mae race w. s there any opposition offered to the proceeding,; and although In some places there had been disputes of a ',Mini ordure am•ngst the liberals, and in others between marten and men, every sneaker in favour of fin inlet r: form and more complete control err the Rona of 1":`"'':lliis was most is seemly received. The present agitation will he greatly aided by other movements which have recently gain.d &Gareth. The teachings of the Anti-corn law League, by thow:rig the mutual dependence of nations, gave a gnat impulse to the peace movement; and the penal societies, so far as I could judge from conversation with many of their members at the great Congress in Patin, regard the financial movement as one in the same direction as their own, inantuch as the lessening the smouct of our enormous military and naval force would remove a cause of much irritation end offence to other power. I am bend to acknowledge that, during my pro gress, I have received valuable assistance nom the temper ance societies, which have gained much strength end in fluence within the last ten years; and I believe that they also will forward the cause of financial and puliatnentery reform in two ways. In the first place, there can now be no meet ing held in which tuere are not numbers of men sebo have spent much time in reading and thought, and will, therefore, gercise a beneficial influence in tee formation of send opinion amongst the industrial Omar ; and in the second place they are lookir g out for such investment of the savings, derived from their practice of temperance, as shall yield them a fair interest fur their money, and at the 810k0 time give them the political influence to which their frugality, intius try, and intelligence, will entitle them. (Signed) 't AliciernALD PRENTICE." On the subject of registration, the communications that have been received manifest a desire for the existence e f a central c filtre, to which reference may constantly be ma-le ; and the council have had many applications, from various boroughs and counties, for advice and assistance, which to the utmost of their ability they have cher dully rendered. The more immediate attention of the council has been di rected to the transmission of information relating to distant voters in all parts of the kingdom registered for other coon ties, and specially to the registration of this and the wigh• bouring counties,- but as the revision for the present year is not yet concluded, they are unable to give the results in the present report. They can state, however, generally, and with confidence, that they will be found to he highly satisfictory. The attention of the council has also been directed to the suhject of the increase of the county constituencies by means of the forty-shilling freehold franchise. In June last they appointed a committee to consider the propriety of forming a freehold land society for Manchester on the prim ciple of the one established by the working men of Bir• mingham. The committee, after a cat ful consideration of the whole subject, presented their report, strongly recom mending the formation of a lend society, and also prepared al prospectus and a draft of a body ot rules for its management. The council haying taken no further steps to carry out the recommendation of the committee, as they were antacid, to as how far the qualifications allotted by the Birming ham society would bear the test of the revision court. The Taub of the revision is, that a number of the members who hold paid up allotments have had their names placed upon the register for North Warwickshire, notwithstanding the opposition of the conservative agent, who had objected to their right to vote. The council have felt that the prosperity and usefulness of the proposed societywill very much depend upon the soundness of the basis nn which it shall be esta blished, and they hops that the delay which has taken place will have tended to serve this important end. The meeting was then addro easel in an able speech by Mr. MrEetra Gnaws, M.P., after which Mr. BRIGHT gave an eloquent picture of the wrongs and miser'''. et of Ireland, in dignantly denying the slander that they were attributable to the faith professed by the greatest portion of the Christian world. He said the true cause of her distressed condition was to be found in the plunder and crimes of her legislation. The first act necessary as a remedy would be to give security and compensation to tenants for the visible improvements they might make. Mr. Might concluded a brilliant speech omelet loud cheering. Mr. TAYLOR and other gentlemen then a Idressed the , meeting, which luted upwards of four bona, and was attended by 5,000 persons. THE SMITHFIELD NUISANCIL—This plague spot of the metropolis wi:l not, we feel unwed, long disgrace the first city of the world, for proof of its filth and its inefficiency is daily being made pubte. On Monday there were wily unpleseant scenes with the poor cattle, Over driven, ruining into the shops of the tradesmen to their injury, and to the danger of foot psseengers. Several of the I..rgeet salesmen are " converted," and can see full well that they would havilocrevatd accommodation and push a better trade at Islington. One of them states that be is certain 'nine of the cattle ws.old fetch 21. a head more at Isliegton than Smith deli. Again, therewere at market on Monday no less than 6,220 head of cattle, which is almost more than double the number the market can accommodate, and of sheep there were no less than 29,000 head. Even on the " pocket" side of the question the corporation of London could rive 3,0001. a year by the removal of the market.

As we previously announced in our intelligence from America, Sir John Richtrtteen arrived at lii.irway Hone, Lake Winipeg, on the 14th of August tsar, en his way home. Re may, thetefore, be shortly espeoted to reach England. From letters since received, it has been ascer tained that the whole party were.in periect health, and had recovered from the fatigues of their sea-coast voyage, per formed it. the summer of 1848, from the Idackenaie to the Ciripermine Rivers, in search of 13'r John Franklin'. expe dition, the particulars of which were fully detailed in Sir John Richardson's letter of the 16th of fit ptember, 1848, on his arrival at winter quarters on the Brent Bear Lake, end which letter was published in our journal of the 12.11 of July last. Mr. Roe, who accompanied Sir J. Ricbarcisms, was loft sith a select crew of active men, to priceed down the Cippermine River this summer, to exomine the opening between Victoria and Wollaston lands, and to aid any party that Sir Jame R3lls may send towards the Coppermine over the Me. litirJ.R chardstm had deposited pemmicanoe various pointa of the coast, for the use of Sir John Franklin's party, should they abandon their ships and seek the continent of America. Lieutenant Gale, the aeronaut, has addressed to en even ing paper, an extraordinary' pre,position for the disco aery of Sir John Franklin. Ile says:—" I am thoroughly acquainted with travelling in the northern regions, having been as far rorth as 72 deg. by sea ; and at one period, during • hunting eicarion in North America, I was out 18 months in the vicinities of Lakes Huron and Superior, and wintered to the northward of Lake Winuipe i t with a party of Chippeway Indians, from Rive r St. Clare, which hu given me a perfect knowledge of wVat is to be endured, and blew far aerostation is practicable in those region ; and the more I study the practieahLity of this experiment, the greater is my confidence in the certainty of its utility. Su;.pose, for instance, an altitude of two miles is attained, • panorama of at 1. sat 1,200 miles (?) would be placed within observation; besides, the psrty sought for teeing • foreign of flaatiqr in the air, would no doubt make ,ignels, by hoisting flags or fidog guns, which would dir.at th. , attention of the aeronaut to their whereabouts. I should fed most happy to give a detail of my plan of operation to say person who may fuel in terwged." FALL OF A RAILWAY VIADUCT. Yesterday afternoon an occurrence of a moat destructive ut tore, 115 far as property ie concerned, though happily unatten ted with less uf lite, took plate at Preston. Daring the lost nine or ten months some hunt:lees of men have been employed in Vie c wstre of a viaduct in the Ribble Valley, forming part et rte Preston extension of the Rant Lancashire Railway—a branch by which it is intended to form a connexion wi.lt the main line at Ledo& jaaction (some two or throe miles from this town), so es to render the company inde pendent of the North Union.
