Tim foreign ministers accredited to Chien, sow residing In Mama, have also expressed their is. Apar mpechatian ed the 9141190, a crime which, if brnuebt base tut • Chinese =there:es, will put China without the tof tiviliseriee, and eves lustily a war of extirpation by unite , Viral of civilised Europe. The P. romans have 'hobos guilty of aa act of unpardoe eble cruelty ; a repetidos of such outrages will weaken if net destroy the sympathy felt for them by foreign Tr-Odeon bee and at other placer. While the fighting was going on es the 25th, an armed teethe, belonging to a man nested kcterio Grande, was stationed near tete ban:er.

Th. 7 were informed that the American ships would pre ante a strict neutrality, the United States being at peace with both Portugal and China ; but ti: it they would protect all who ...tight refuge on hoard. We have not heard who. Our any a;plication has been made either to the French mini..er or to the cattails' of the corvette, though there as be no doubt that this either has or will be dons ; neither do we positively assert that the Americas minister wee formally spoiled to, though we have is from good authority also tl at a renewed application will he made to the Anatricon commodore. Thee , are di ff erent opinions al to the measures contemplated by Captain Trowbridge; some say he will merely offer protection, others that be will artist is the defence of the city. Cap tain Troth/ides acts entirely on his own rripontibility—the Gorr nor of Hongkong Can ads ire, but not control his actioss. He, as an experienced rouette officer, knows the power with which be isintrusted, and how far naval Where on remote stations ere left to their own ;animist when placed in novel and difficult positions. If he derides upon wile co-operation, be curies the sympathies of his country. men with him,—bat if otherwise, few, if say, will blase kin; under any circumstance we feel soured that he will sot tura a deaf ear to the voice of humanity, nor permit the slaughter of the inhabitants by infuriated Chinese, should they take reesseion of the city. It is aid that a considerable number of Chinese have re turned to Memo, exprceing a desire to place themselves under P cargoes* protection. If true, this is suspicious; at present sot a single stranger should be permitted to enter the city. la war the Chinese tactics are cunning and deceit ; ems introduce a large body cf armed men, and they could take the town at any time. The Monte an d other forts might bold eat, but eventually they wculd be st-rved into submis sion. The whole military form is about 450 men; they would all be requited to man the font, and the Chinese, once is pomegion of the town, could commit any amount of rim Ity unopposed. Another report i, that Ben be given the Ladronss of the °tier waters a carte blasehe to work their will on Ileum ; Ia the. event of its destructios, be premises immunity for all past oiteneell. There are easy thourands of them scoun drel. amongst the seighbottriag islands, and the prospect of plunder would draw others from all parts of the onset. Toe a murder so cunnicely devised and boldly executed was ant the act of amnion robber', is evident from the fast that the medium did cot plunder their victim; • watch MA other venal lee were 'often the body of the unfortunate C no. That it mu a political march r is proved by the Z* the head ilia 4 bead wee' taken away as evidence that the hued emessies bed performed their horrid Gffize for whisk there ma be me doubt they were premised a large To andentend the matter clearly, we require shortly to review the polity pursued by the Governor Amaral. The Chin a - t nvernment since the earliest days of the settlement claimed jurisdiction over its own subjecis; a resident man darn 444 judicial limeys, sad another mandarin leered taxes upon the trade cf es port. To Porting was conceded the privilege of controlling her own enhjects, a'd levying such tams as were required for tie /apron of the local government. • wrens number of Por tuguese ships ware permitted to enter the inner harbour, but they eau d nation , headd • new slip, a h-uot, or even a eho-ch, without a 1 ceace from the Matitarin at Casa Branca. With the ext. ptOn of having tics for protection noted foreign Ingtossor, their position was little better than that of foreigners at Bhaeghai or Amoy, in some rO.• owls not so good. Tar small penii•ula projecting from the lane iiand of iliangeltha is about 8 miles in circum !Wenn, • banter wall reusing atom the isthmus at its ear sewn point. Within this well the Porturuess were allowed to tales putties, but they could cot build dwelling homes outride the city. The apses between the city well and the bonier, teem as the campo, Las always beset occupied by Chinese, who cultivate pert of it as Market gardens, but much the larger portion was used es a burying grouted. Fur the land upon which the city is bath, P.'etsgal paid to China as annual rest of 600 teals lariat 1251 The Canoes ocempaate of the camps were wont to pay the mandarin a small rent for their garden ground. Governor Pinto having bees superseded Ia 1844 was appointed commissioner on behalf of the (ante of Por tugal to treat impacting the rights and privileges of Macao, its relative position towards China being greatly altered sines the treaty of Neikirk. Keying granted erne additiosal pri• viler+ to the settlement, permitting the inhabitants to build sew houses, churches, and ships without a Het use : the an chorage of the Typa was also included within its jurisdic tion, but an application res pect ive g the non-payment of the annual ground-rent was ..Wediy refused. "To have granted this wc lid have been to give up their lien use the place, for the Chinni have always riguded Memo as a part of the empire, and maintained jurisdiction over their own subjects residing them, while they permit the P negates to n uke e regulations end exercise suck authority over their own people and other foreigners as they chores.' • Such was the poems Macs° held with regard to China when Governor Amaral arrived three or four years ago. The new Roomer had evidently determined to assert the independence of the widener. His first step in advance was the impceitlos of a tax upon all the Chinese shipping. The ti ,gitmea refused to pay the tax; they landed in Wee numbers either with a view to remonstrate or intimidate, ce both. Tney were attacked by the soldiers, and a good many of them killed and wounded. The forts opened upon their hosts, and about 20 of a large size were burned or rank. About the same time a small custom hoses station on the Prays Grande ' in the *emporia n of an altar em ployed in collecting t aste from the boat people on the Mar derinte account, wee palled down by order of the governor. Fu lowing upon this, ends were cut through the earn" in making which hundreds of graves were disturbed. The Chi nese hold the graves of their ancestors sacred, and view them with tedium of reverential awe which footmen can neither understand nor appreciate. The Tiller/re of the camp were further compelled to pay rent to the Meesogovernssent, and accept a title to the land or a lease from that govern ment those who refuted to comply with these terms had their lands and houses taken from them. Fina'lly the Chi nese custom house was shut up, and the officers deported. _ - - - We need not go further into details, enough has been given to show that Governor Amaral gave moral offence to the Chinese govemmeat, and forfeited the respect of the Chinese people. Hie police was that of a bold, unscrupu lous man, carat= of the inters, and determined to gratify -the whim of the day. Usfortuaatily too many foreigners applauded his bald mosenres, and he was held up to public admiration se a man, who, with only 450 soldiers at his command, dosed the whole empire of China. A little consi deration would have convinced those ardent admiren that he was precipitating the ruin of Macao, though they could not foresee the fearful penalty he has paid for his imprudence. It was not consistent with Seu'e tortuous policy to declare war against Macao, or attack it openly with the regular army. He would not have it known that a few obscure tn. butanes bad eat the empire at defiance, and that it was aloes. am to OMNI them bp a military fore % The airsameense of requiring force to aid him in controlling the labials= a Kano would operate unfavourably upon Lis Natal= at Pekin, end this partially explains the comparative impunity with which Ganser Amaral was allowed to insult the em pire, and treat its subjects with injustice. Bea had also the English on his hands, and th e city rite question to attic; moreover, bodies of banditti were in passed= of the mountain passes at no great distance from Canton, threat ening the proeintial city itself it their numbers continued to inerease. But the Chinese can " bide their time," and we have no doubt that in fien's mind the fate of Meese, was de- Aided ut.on four or Ave months ago. The combination amongst the Guilds in co. operation with the potty and literati—sanctioned and approved by Soa waa instrumental in stopping the foreign trade of Cantos Wt spring, and in breaking the engagement to open the city pan on the 6th of April. It is well lune that the same parties held public mating, at which the 031111111114 the governor of Macao we. dismissed, and that la NOM pliant' with the determination mu to by the guilds, gentry, and literati, a large run of money woe raked by voluntary sontributiqn to defray the expense of hostile measune re• solved upon, bat not made public. It has been currently nPorted by the Chimes for the last three months, that the p%triots had offend a considerable rum for the head of Governor Amin!, and that a strong whimsy force was is the immediate vicinity of Memo. To most of our local maiden this rumour mut be familiar. Governor Amaral wee not unacquainted with it sad at times, In convenation with friends spoke of the intestine of amemnating him. It is well known that in 1939 a large nu was offend for Captain Elliot', head, and from strong einametantial evidence, it is =it that a nice was lately pat open the heed of', Amara/. About the time the swings wen hell I in Casten, placards on the walls of Please warned the Chine** Inhabitants of {spading dangers, and advised them to leave the doomed city. The more respectable class left in large numbers-56ms cent. to Hong Kona, others settled at Wnampoa, and not • few went to Canton. Thu emi gration has been going on daring the summer end at this present moment fry rupectable Chinese are to be found in Hugo. Governor Amaral wee sot altogether unaware of the storm that was brewing ; the chimes were enrolled is a militia e.s the kits repaired, trees at deers whisk could a ff ord shelte r to a toe near the walls, sad s gaud established in the tempo close to the bonier wall. The murder of the governor was probably dammed essential to any 'ahem of operations, whether la opts warfare, or by Ares and the onslaughts of Ladroem, which, if frequen t repeated, most ultimately second. We have not the slightest doubt that it was by • preeoncerted arrangement that the murder was committed. It was well know. that their victim redoes far as the barrier nearly every durmast ; and the murderers selected the steady neck of land near the barrier in order that they sem • •Awas mu., they nut, run WO :la ► gra stizare, though it was almost certain they would be observed. They succeeded but too weU, ad hackies off the head end I left hand, they Lft the 'mot as valueless, knowing that a large sm was theirs when the head wee trottuaid at Canton. That the crime was imaged In Canton scarcely admits of a doubt. The ill-used 'ilium of the campo ware too poor to pay assassins who were above taking away gold watches ; and had the deed been committed by themeslves, the watch would not have been left babied, nor ye: the head taken away. It Is pretty certain that 2t hours after the murder, the proofs were in possession of the Canton patriots, and gl.sted over even be Sea himself.

From that settlement itself there is literally no news. Her Majesty's brig Albltroes and the Han. East India Company's steamer Nemesis arrived there on the 4th with amounts of the proceedings of Sir James Brooke on a naval expedition against the Sakarran and Sambas pirate,. Sir James, with the Sarawak flotilla, reached the mouth of the Moneta has on the night of the 24th of July, where they found the following force already anchored : Her Majesty's ship Royalist, Lieut. Everest, with twelve 12-pounder bras guns, and me 12 pound howitzer ; Eon. Company's steamer Nemesis, T, Walls;e, Eq., Commen ter, two 32-pound traversing guns lour au-pound brim Nuns and two 3-pound rocket tube s .

Baker, engineer in dune, ae tpound rocket tube, ass s vied gun, and 7 men. On the 28th, Sir James Brooke, with part of the native forte, anchored off Habits. The other detach ment was stationed at the mouth of the Seabee; the Nemesis took up • station in the bay bttween the two rivers, and the men-of-war's boats in line shore wards. They remained in this position till the evening of the 30th, when word was brought that the pirates, after threatening Palo had proceeded to a river named 81 Mating, and anch ored there. On the atoning of the 31st it was intimated that the piratical squadron was approaching. We give what ensued to the words of en eye-witness: In about 16 minutes all wen in me.i.n to meet them, the Nemesis proceeding seaward to command them and prevent their escape to sea. As soon as she was descried by the pirates, they snide at unos for the Kaska river, where their progress was intercepted by the native bolts, and those commanded by Lieute. Wdlashurst and Everest. The pirates then as a dernier resort made a dash to reach their own river, when they came in immediate contact with the men-of-war beats, and the action became general. It was now dark . , and the great danger was that of firing into each other, or into cur native allies. The peas word seheted was !Nall," and the M days screamed this out at the top of their voices when they thought any of the Europeans were mar them. Canmander Farquhar, who directed the operation, was in the midst of the tulle, giving orders, and exhorting the crews ci the various boats to be careful, and not to fire into each other, and several of thou present, from their age and service, capable of giving an opinion, state that they never, in any boat a lions, saw firing so rapid and destructive. Two large prahus were seen by the commander escaping seaward, and the steam-tender was ordered is chase; the nearest one Laving barely escaped one of her six-pound rockets, made ter the river, and snot a pirate's doom. The Nemeth, which had been dealing death sad destruction to all around her, ran her down, and the scene which took place as her crew, above sixty in number, same in contact with the paldlc wheels, beggars all diessiption. A largc amities rocket from the little menu r entered the mho that had continued mkt. ma, sad r.ndcred her destruction cuplet,. A signal wee row 'nada to close, and the scene as whitened frees the bridged the Nemesis was scot exciting. It was evident from the first that the day was oar own, but a rapid run. nine fire was still kept up along the ensign of the bay. This heti tg gradually auhilled, at 12 ZO, on the morning of the lit J Bl 7, Commander Fatqahar ordered the boats of the various vessels in tow, and having sent the Renee with de spatches to Sir Jams Brooke, then in some part of the Kaiaks river, we commenced the ascent of the Bushes to prevent escape by the Rushes branch. In doing so we were deprived of a sight wheel' all state tcok them by sur2riste. At daylight the bay was one mass of wreck, shields, apaus, and portions of destroyed pnhus, extended as far as the eye could reach ; whilst on the sandy spit which extends a con siderable ditt.nce seaward on the left bank of the Sambas, wore upwards of 70 prattles, which the natives were busy clearing of all valu blee, and destroying. The punishment on these fine bubsrlacs Lad been must complete. Of 120 pens which it is said started on the expedition, sad all of which were in the bay the preceding eveniog, more than 87 were destroyed, sad the loos of life on their side must have been immense, indeed it hoc been placed as high as 1,200 men. On oar part, saving a few C.1.44111iii, all were uasesthaL On the 2nd of August the expeertion proceeded up the river. Oa the 4th it reached and destroyed the town of Peke, and also an adjoining village. On the 7th Sir JaraC3 proceeded to the Sarebas territories, and the Nemesis returned to the mouth of the river and wooded. On the 11th the accent of the river was recommenced, and on the 14th the Nemesis, with her attendant naive sepadron, anchored off the Kanawit river. The small steamer, the European boats, and the native prahus, were °duel to continue the ascent on the 10th. " The whole of the settle- ments on both sides were destroyed." On the even in4 of the 18th the Ranee returned with several men sick of fever. Oa the 24th the Nemesis landed Sir James at Sarawak. The cases of f. ver on hoard the Nemesis and Albatross were said to be numerous. Dates had been received at Sikeapore from Batavia to the 29th August.

[ref followin g El press.] nait i llo t u ed urdg . herv l ii t , Mr. Ballantin• said be now came to the day in a tee w g h t :lT t te t h e h e ltar w m ai th ost a b t u a th ri p ed i all u i nh n in icon g ap m py u l m r s t r o r s ki h w a te a d s h been learned friend had thrown out a suggestion that the murder might have been committed elsewhere. feetjeant Wilkins denied having used thee:premien. Mr. Ballantine impeded to the bar, and wee generally confirmed in his statement. It appeared that O'Connor was seen on Landon-bridge at 6 o'clock, and was then oscillating as to whether he should go or not. It would not, however, be contended that he did not go there. He wee, however, somewhat late, and that was quit* consistent with Mrs. Hangdog's statement that she went to seek him. With ru pee: to the Misses Armes, they had naturally ne very friendly feeling towards Mn. Manning, and theterere anything they said in her favour should hare its full value. They distinctly deposed that she wives' at their house at a quarter to six, and it appeared from measurement that the distance was three miles from spot to spot. She could not be expected to travel as quickly ea a policeman, for whom people would most likely make way. The probability was that she would have got there quicker by walking than by any conveyance. She must have left her own hence at 5 o'clock, or at most the e q m n s u n t e s r eri p o a ul'at ea ten d tion t° of th l t t h e V at ry! b i e r the w jk murder ri t e o r b a d been committed between half pat 6 and 8 o'clock, she could not have been • party in its commission. it was true that she stated on her arrest that she left at eta o'clock, but that only showed how lightly the matter weighed upon bar mind. The next question was—was the murder committed during that interval I He =Mended that it was, and that the matter admitted of not • shadow of doubt. All the probabilities were that O'Connor got there about half past 6, and that his 11111111 , di: took place soon after. Wee it not b.. testa halt-past 5 sad the thou when Meaning was seen sitting on the wall at 7 o'clock ? If O'Connor was alive in his house daring that time did it not seem strange that Minting should sit upon the wall smoking? That was • circumstance to which the jury would direct their meet serious attention. Was O'Connor murdered then or at a subsequent time ? All the probabilities led to the sup pcsition that he went to his appointment and wee shortly after murdered. The next point to consider was, was Mrs. Manning an ac..eseery before the feet ? She was so charged in the in dictment, Manning being supposed to hays committed the act. It wee for the jury to consider whether the crown Was right in Laving so put it. It was of course eu put on the probability that the chattering the body had exhibited was more likely to have been cent mitt= by a man than a woman. When Manning was asked respecting those fractures, he was quit* silent as to how they had come there. His story had been taken as a ground for inculpating Mrs. Manning, and the jury would judge of ha probability. The out gun bad proved that O'Connor was not killed by a paitol shot, and the other violence was most unlikely to have been committed by a woman. His learned friend had die needy proved that the murder had been committed by oce person, and certainly the man who was et home when O'Con nor arrived at the house, was more likely to have been the criminal than the woman, who wee proved to have been absent. He now came to the consideration of the acceimorial acts, and ia this part of the case he implored the jury to attend to nothing but the strict evidence before them. Having Utilised to the difficulties which a poor woman had in getting up • case when opposed to the egsouren of the cream, the learned counsel proceeded to say that the crown relied upon three points u proving Mrs. Manning to have been an gunnery before the fact. The first was the shovel, the s. nand was the crowbar, and the third was the lime. He considered that tho shovel was a strong point in hie client's favour. It was a mere cut-shovel, and could not have been used for any pur pose- of violence. Therefore he oinnissed it with this Obcrestion that if this woman was buying an ordinary coal-shovel, she could hardly have been contem plating a deed of darkness. As far the lime, it wee clear what it was bought for • but it wee el. at who bought it, and what it was used for. It was alleged to bees been bought to kill slugs, but there was not a tittle of evidi nee that slugs were ever alluded to by the woman. She was not at home when it was brought to the house, but her husband ens, and received it. The boy who brought it received some half-pence next day, bat could not tell from whom he received it. Ur. Mane, had proved that there was a charwoman sometimes thae, and it was not at all improbable bat that she might have given the money. Then, as to the crowbar, it was bought by the towhead, and brought home by elm wrapped up in paper. If it was an oriinary ripping chisel, why endeavour to conceal the shape from his wife ? She saw the bill, and complained that it was too dear; but that might have arisen from its coming to more than oho had been ttld to expect. Perhaps she had been placed in the situation by her husband is order that captain might fall on her. He (Mr. Ballantine) did not say es. It wee most lil:ely an after ' thought which might occur to any poltroon who was anxious to save his life at the expense aids wife's. He thought he had now accounted for the important prints in the case. The next was the blood found on Mrs. Manning's dress. It was very remarkable that the only marks deposed to are on the back of a c-.ps; and, therefore, if bled at all, could not have been communicated during the eon. mission of the murder. Might they not as well have been iron-mould ? Toilet coven had also been introduced, sad which she most probably had received in service. They bol been in the bedroom, and, as the murder was un doubtedly committed in the house, It was quite pro bable that the person who committed it had gone. Then, as to the blood on the dress, it would be nmemeered that it was found on the inside, and on a part to which it might bees found its way from natural causes. He did not wish to be more explicit than was stssuary on a point like tiff.; but in a case where the lie of a fellow-creature was at mike, he could not be expected to have much consideration far the feelings of permits who were there from motives of mere idle curiosity. The fact was that those stains had arisen from circum stances that were natural to woman end had nothing what ever to do with external violence. He next came to the evi dence of Mr. Massey, who it seemed had had some ' mange conversation with Manning as to the powers of chloroform and laudanum, and the vital parts of the human head. II Mr. Massey had possessed com neon discretion he might hays taken such steps in consequent* of those conversations as would have prevented the dreadful , catastrophe. It apj eared that the murder was planned on , the Bth, and let them consider what was the conduct of Mrs. Manning on that day. She wrote an invitation to O'Connor; but it was hardly likely that Keening would commit himself so far as to write him self. Might not Mrs. Manning have been made to write the letter as she bad been made to pay for the crow bar? It appeared that O'Connor came accompanied by a emsoa named Walsh, and his evidence was important. If Mrs. Manning contemplated the minder, it must have been in her mind then. But she exhibited the greatest openness, and everything that could indicate absence of nefarious intention. Then when O'Connor was faint from sending had she not bathed his temples? Woe it likely that the most depraved female could have behaved thus to the man whose murder she was contemplating ? She had, it wee true, written to him to come ; but she was benefiting by his acquaintence, and was of course anxious that he should core as often as possible. He had now goes as closely as possible through the case, and he would leave it confidently in the hands of the jury. There was one other point, and that was Mrs. Manning's conduct at the Artees'e. O'Connor, it appears, was late in coming to her house, and she naturally went to seek him. No property was taken that evening, nor did anything occur to lead te the supposi tion that she went for other then the most ordinary purpose. If on that °union Mrs. Meanie, had contemplated murder, would not her conduct have given some indication of h. r dreadful intentions ? All Miss Armes had been able to ay wee, that she was a little pale, and she was not able to aoticie even this until after she bad heard that a murder had been committed. On the following evening Mrs. Manning was alleged to have trembled ; but was it not probable that she had then some suspicion that a dreadful crime had been committed ? Having now censidered the points of principal and of acces sory before the fact, he came to the consideration of whether his clout could be guilty, charged as an accessory after the fact. That charge was not laid in the indictment in consequence in her connexion with the male prisoner, and he trusted it would not find its way into the rends of the jury. Ho did not mean to deny that at some period this women had become acquainted with the deed, and that supposition would account for the whole of her subsequent conduct. It was quite clear that the whole act might have been committed during hey absence. She had no doubt learnt the fact from her husband. It was clear that she had carried on a criminal intereoune with the detested, and, her crime weighing her down, left her completely in the power of her husband, who might have committed the crime es a revenge for his wrongs. He could give no other reasonable solution I for her conduct, and he trusted the jury would look at it in that light ; and with regard to the possession of the railway shares, the jury would not forget that she had been in con saltation with the deceased about the purchase of railway shares, and that she stated he bad two or three hundred pounds to invest in that manner. He would also ask them whether it was not possible that the deceased might not have given her some of the railway shares which were found in her possessioe when she was taken into custody. It was contended for the prosecution that the possession of this property was quite conclusive of her annex son with the murder ; but he intruded the jury not to view it in that light, and that they would think that, under the circumstances, the might have taken the property, and yet be perfectly innocent of the murder, or of having had any thing to do with planning it. Th e' learned counsel, after some further remarks, and thanking the jury for the &teen tion they had paid to the case, mid he trusted he had satisfied them that, at all events, there was doubt and difficulty in the case; and he concluded by expressing a hope that they I would give e ff ect to that doubt, by returning a vadictfavour able to the primmer. The Attorney-General was about to reply, when Mr. Parry interposed and said that although, perhspe, In strictness the Attorney-General would have the right of reply, yet it weenot customary to exercise the power in • ! case were not a tittle of evidi.nos had been adduced by the prise/nen. The Chief Baron said the Attorney• General clearly had the right. Mr. Parry then put it to the Attorney-General whether he would exercise the right in a case where the lives of two of his felloercreatures were at stake. . The Attoeney-Oaeseal mid that the law gays him the right to hue tilde last word. He should not have exercised the right cm this maiden bat that he considered it due to the administratien of justice, leader the patellas circum stances of this ease, that the scales of justifies should be held evenly between the parties. He did not think that Mr. Ballentine was justified in complaining of the course that bad been adopted by the learned eerjeent. He consi dered he had only done his duty as an educate to his client, and he must say that it appeared to him to be the more manly course boldly to state a chugs against a party, and the . grounds upon which the charge was supported, than to m iamate it and not have the boldaess to opealy make these caution. Remould now proceed to the facts. The murder, it was admitted, took place in Minver-place, and he would ask them if it was likely to have been committed by one person. and whether one person could have caused the death, dug the hole, and tented the body in the position in which it was found. With regard to the time when the murder was alleged to have been committed, there did not appear to be any evidence when it was actually committed, and it wes very possible that the set might have been committed after 1 he return of the female prisoner front the hetes, of the 1 deceased. They had been in negotiation with Bain bridge for the sale of the whole of their furniture, evidently planning a sudden retreat ; and why I should the female prisoner purchase a new shovel 1 on the very day before the murder was committed ? He did not believe that on the Thursday evening the 1 female prisoner took away any property. He believed 1 her object was to fled the deceased and get him to seine to the house in Maur-place. The female poisoner admitted that she had cleaned the back kitchen on the j day of the murder, and she must have been aware of j the state it was in, and she then ran away and assumed • false name, and in her possession was found the greater portion of the proceeds of the sale of the j stolen Rasters Counties Railway shares. As to the male prisoner, let them look at his own statement. He admitted he was present at the murder, and, although he unworthily attempted to throw the blame upon his wife, he asked them as reasonable men whether he could have been innocently precut when'such • dreadful act was committed. The Chief Boron, at a quarter past tire o'clock, corn- j menced summing up. He said the prisoners Frederick George Manning and Maria, his wile, were indicted for the awful crime of murder, and they had pleaded not guilty, and the jury were to say whether they were guilty or not. The law, as it had been laid down by the Attorney. General, had been concurred in by the learned counsel for the prisoners, and he would only say that, if the jury 'Leonid be (satisfied that both poisoners were present when the crime was COM ' mitred. or that it was arranged to take place by one of them ' beforehand, sad committed by the other, in that case they would both be liable te be convicted of the crime imputed to them. The crime into which they were now iequiring was, he believed, almost unexampled. There could be no doubt that • wader of the most dreadful kind had b.en committed, and the question then was had the prisoners been proved to have cananiUod tbat murder. The learned judge having alluded to the circumstances under which the body was found, said, that it appeared to be admitted that the murder must have been committed by some persons who were in the house. The prisoners appeared by different counsel, and each charged the other with heviog committed the offence; but the jury would give no more effect to the statements of the learned counsel than their own experience would justify them in giving upon the facts of the case. They would consider whether it was probable that the murder could have been committed by the ens or the ether of the prisoners, aid whether it was possible, under the circumstances of the ease, that the:act could have been perpetrated by one of the prisoners without .the presence or connivance of the other. His lordship then proceeded briefly to refer to the principal points in the evidence, commenting upon them as he proceeded. In the course of his observations he said that the male prisoner admitted he was present when the murder was committed, and although his declarations with regard to the other prisoner were not evidence against her, yet when they found that immediately alter the transaction she was in possession of the keys of the deceased, that she went to his lodgings and took away all the property she could get hell of, and when they couaidered the other circumstances in the case, it was Inc them to say, as sensible men, whether such conduct on her part was consistent with innocence. The case was now before them ; if they eatertained serious doubt as to which was the guilty party, they would then probably feel it their duty to acquit both the prisoners, but if they felt that the charge was established against one or bath prisoners, it would then be their duty to say so by their veritt. They would look at all the circumstances as men of sense, men of experience, and men of the world, nod he was :ore they would acefearlessly upon the result which such a consEera tion conveyed to their minds. The jury retired at G o'clock. They were absent for three-quartets of an hour. Upon their return their nau.es were aired over, and the prisoners, who bad been removed, were again placed at the bar. Me. Streight, the deputy clerk of arraigns, then inquired of the jury it they had all agreed upon their verdict 1 The foreman replied that they had. Mr. Streight then asked it they found the prisoners guilty or not guilt f. The foreman replied, GUILTY. Mr. Streight then asked the prisoners, in the usual form, whether they had anything to say why judgment of death should not be passed upon them. Mr. Meeker, the usher of the court, was about to make the usual proclamation for silence, when the female prisoucr, who had become very much excited from the moment the verdict was pronounced, exclaimed, in a violent mmiter, that she had not bad justice done to her, and she had not had a fair trial. — Mr. Cope, the governor of Newest', said something to the prieoner ; evidently with the purpose of ,inducing her to re main (poet, but it appeared to have no effect. She then proceeded in a most excited manner to state that she had been treated meet cruelly in this country. She wu a uireigner,ar.d she had not received justice. She continued : " I have had no protection either from the jury, the judge, the counsel, or my huebaed. I could have proved, if I had had an opportunity fur my coursel to call the witnesses that I bought all the shares thot were found in my hnx with my own money. lam quite iIIIVACIIt of killing Mr. O'Connor. He was very good to me. He was more to me than my husband. tie has been my friend and my brother ever since I have been in this country. I have known him for a v. n years, and he wanted to marry me. Then why should I kill him ? I am a woman, all alone, end I have to fight against the prosecutor, against the counsel, and against the emtements of my own husband. 1 consider 1 have not been treated like a Christian, but more like a wild beast of the forest. I wish I could vest in my native lan guage. I would say more. I had plenty of money in the bank to buy theses hares. aid I could have proved it. lam quite innocent of the crime, and you (turning to the jury)) will have it on your consciences for fielding me guilty. If I wished to take any body's life why would I not take that of my husband,who was the greateuenerey to me in tho world ? Why sheuld I kill Mr. O'Connor ? I could have been married to him in a fortnight if I pl. seed. Ile was my haat friend. Because it pleated my hu,bsnd , from his jealousy, to kill Mr. O'Connor, I am dragged to this bar. Mr. Hacker then made the ordinary proclamation before the passing of the sentence of death. Mr. Justice Creswell (who, in the absence of the Chief Baron, delivered judgment) then put on tLe black cap and addreesed the prisoners in the following terms : " Frederick George Manning and Maria Manning, you have been con victed of the crime of wilful murder— The female prisoner here exclaimed, " I have not Mr. Cope again requested has to be silent, but she said she would not. She had been treated shamefully. They ought all to be ashamed of themselves. The learned Judge proceeded—Too have been severally convicted of that crime by a most intelligent and careful jury, after the most anxious deliberation. You were de .ended most ably by your counsel, who advanced every topic which their experience and ingenuity could dictate in your favour; and the jury have felt themselves com pelled, upon the evidence that was adduced, to find you guilty, and I do nat think there can be a doubt m the mind of any rational being that this was the only verdict which they cull contelentiousle return. Far my own part I must say, that U they had returned any other verdict, it would have been difficult to satisfy me that they had not shun k from tho performance of their duty, so satisfied am I with the evidence in support of the charge. Under all circumstances murder is the most dreadful of all crimes ; but the murder of which you have been convicted is the most cold-blooded and deliberate that I ever remember to have heard of. Under the pretence of affection conveyed to him in the letter written by one of you, the unhappy man was lured to the place where his grave was already, in all prebabiliy, dug ready to receive him, and then the deed which you had for days and weeks con templated was consummated. It is one of the most appalling deeds that has ever been heard of. Without giving him a mo ment for repentance—and it has been suggested that his course of life rendered that repentance necessary—without a mo ment's preparation, without giving him a moment to think of futurity, or any opportunity to ask fcr pardon—you hurried this unhappy man to his long account. The law is more merciful than you were, and it will allow yon time for repentance, and to prepare for the fate that awaits you. One of you is represented to have inquired of ens of the witnesses whether it was possible for a murderer to go to heaven. The time has come when this is indeed an Im portant (elution for you, and it behoves you to inquire of those who are competent to answer the question, what you have to hope and what you have to fear upon that subject. As I cannot see any prospect of a mitigation of the sentence, I feel it my duty to call upon you to consider that your doom is irrevocably fixed, and I entreat you to resort to the assistance of a minister of religion, who I am sure will rejoice at being enabled to hold out to you an hopes of pardon in the other world, if he considers himse lf justified from your conduct in so doing. Whatever you may say, or whatever affected iodignation may be shown by either of you, will be of no avail. It is impossible to doubt the justice of the verdict that has been pronounced, and I am sure that topeTego one who lt no h w as ard re remains evidence will to be of that u the sentence of the law, y which is, that you,Fredgric u r George yo Manning, and you, Maria Manning, be severally taken to the minty gaol of Surrey, and be delivered to the custody of the sheriff of that county, and that you bo there severally hanged by the neck until you are dead, and your holies be afterwards buried within the gaol. The male_ prisoner heard the sentence without 'gime a word; but Mrs. Manning again became very violent. She snatched a handful of rue from the front of the deck, and threw it among the barristers, exclaiming, "Base, shameful Baaland !" They were then removed from the be?, and the court ad journed at a quarter past seven o'clock.
