Tile mums dthe new provincial colleges in Ire we will issiely depend on the fitness of these who ace appeased to tee& in them, and the fitness of that tibias is taught. Of the former we have already in timated our general opinion. Nothing that we have es yet heard in deprecation of the recent appoint ments appears to us entitled to much, if any, consider glom A crave accusation has been put forward he ave lie. HINCRS, the professor of botany in Cork, is a Unitarian—as if treachery to the faith of the s hamrock larked in dissent from the Athanesian e f ed! Murmurs have been likewer heard at history Wine been 'wrested to the didactic care of au ac complished scholar who happens to be a member of the eetablished church. But unless the priestly prin ciple be at altC9 admitted that no man is fit to Need or think or teach save one who acknowledges the athority of the propaganda, we cannot comprehend the re usonablene4s of such an objection. If the alle gation were that Mr. BERWICK or Mr. DARLRY were tats-liberal or anti-catholic partisans—had they. like Dr. LORGYIRLD, been distinguir_ed by their sivocley of the principles of political and I Wades ascendancy, and thereby rendered themselves justly obooxious to the great =L ofty of their fellow countrymen—we could appre ciate fully the justice of the complaint, and, as in the me just named, we should feel no hwitation in riding our strongest protest agaiest such an abase of rower by the executive. But tea the instances before as there is no tinge of fair or genuine colour in the i mputation. Mr. Dettetr and Mr. BERWICK are by religious faith protestant.. Is that • Grime? If nor, what is it that they are m aul of? Not of big try : for they are pereon ally esteemed wherever they are known, by men ef all creeds, for the truly catholic sprit of their iseial and intellectual character, and their absolute Woo frost narrow or metarian tendencies. Not he political exclusiveness, for they have both Ix years aided in the promotion of popular old en lightened views, in nuostentatious but nut unrecog mode" unvalsed ways. We only wish to be assured that so pep Antmc nts lets worthy and utexception able may ever be made in the Queen's colleges ; and until we have some inculpation more deserving of re pel than those which have been made in too in stances alluded to, we shall think it mere justice to believe that none can be adduced. A more difficult question ' however, is that of the course of instruction which it is intended shall be pursued in the new institutions. In other words, what are the colleges a'. C3rk, Belt st, and Galway setualy to be ? Are they to be big schools for big boys; or dingy seminaries, of the collegiate class, for provincial dullards? Neither, we li ape and believe; bat if neither, then what eke are they to be, and how is their beiog rendered something different and better to be insured? In the first place, manifestly, by the sperm of education which shall be prescribed and adored ; and in the next race by rendering the com petition free and fair between those who graduate in them and those who graduate in the elder nni vanities. With respect to the course of instruction, it is un deniable that new grammar school+ are not what the country or the time demand+. There have at all times been facilities enough fir the acquisition of Greek and Latin in Ireland. It is not more of the dead languages that Deland wrote, but a more inti are acquaintance with the living truths and rcalitiee rf thirgi. So likewise in the exact sciences. Toe rep do of Trinity College has long stood high in mathematics and optics ; and the names of LLOYD, M`Colaemeei, and Lord Rosie, aro amongst those whereof their countrymen may be most justly proud. Bat a people whose country studs in need of practical development of every kind re much as Ireland does, crave intellectual guidance empbatically in the practical and the combined utili- Mum of knowledge •, and this is peculiarly , there fore, the function which the new colleges will have to d wear: c. On the otter Irma, it mast be borne in mini that if any aspect of inferiority of aim or tone to that of the established university should be popularly conceived, the best and most ambitions spin's will still continue to seek the cold and condescending smile of " old Trinity," rather than the mot o frank but less coveted recognition of the provincial academies. It will Lever do to suffer them at starting to lose caste, or to admit their com parative inability to supply their students with any and every species of instruction which can be ob tained in Dublin. A choice of studies is one thing, and a most impertant thing. But a choice in effect prtchtermaised by a peculiar devotion of the strength of the system to one or two reticular coursees of s uily, to the practical neglect of others, would be quits another, ard, we think, a most nolortim‘te thine. Engineering is to be added, but Greek is not to be forgotten; agricultural chemistry is to be placed within the reach a all who choose to learn, bet logarithms and enthymems are to have their teachers, and we hope their learners, too. It :s only by such means that the lone desired spirit of competition in the higher walks of national education can ever be called into active being. Tne three provincial elle gee, for the purposed conferring formal degrees of B.A. and M.A , are to be federated ander the cam of "the Queen's University.* But, if the close of instruction be not such as to qualify its Rraduates to vie with those of the " University of Dublin," the degrees will soon lose all value, and the local seminaries will sink into mere provincial esbeas. To preveat this, another guarantee, however, must ferherrh be seemed. We mean the equalisatien of the sew degrees with those of Trinity College in all mews where their possession is made essential as seciaery to the obtaining leave to practise in pro fusion,. The Scotch neiversities have long experi enced the benefit of such regulations. The Univers ity of Lotdm his long felt the ill effects of its de grees not being recognised like those of Oxford and Conbriege. This partial and unfair exclusion is part of the old tyranny which all ecclesiastic il worretioes love to exercise whenever and spinet whomsoever they ars permitted to do so. Yet, surely nothing can b 3 more monstrous than that the ablest, scholar who has graduated in the university of London is compelled to spend two years more and to pay FO many pounds more at each of the inns of court previous to hero g called to the bar, than the greatest dance that ever scrambled through a " little-go "at Oxford. We have yet to learn whether any measures have be,n taken to prevent the uprise of this invidious dis tinction in Ireland; bat, if not, we earnestly com mend it to the attoetive care of those on whom the re-ponsinility rests of seeing that the new coileges have, in every way, a fair trial. Tat Retina Association are very unreasonable if they desire any hi4her compliment than is nue"- wtously expressed in the number of articles which the sot:genitive and obstructive press have devoted to their Drury-lane meeting. Day after day the , Standard, and Chronicle, reverted to this sore r l l i ltet. They affected to be witty at the expense of the meeting; they affected a supercilious patron are of it : they changed their tone and gravely ftproSated its objects.

General Gargey has been attacked at Raab by 60,000 men, and an immensely strong artillery, and repulsed. In conse quence of this the plan that he should advance against Austria and the lower armies concentrated here is become impossible. Hence the resolution has been taken I.s leave • strong garrison in Comoro, and concentrate the whole army lower down, so that the Transylvanian, the Deutsch-Banat, and the upper army, together with the corps of Viloczky, should draw towards Sz , gedin, and unite with the Baas-Banat army. I have to add that the Russian army has sent • sarong detachment across the Theirs at Tokay, of 8,000 mra, and according to other ascannts, of 20,000, and that these are to-day at Nyiregyhazs. The intention of this movement seems Or be to occupy the country between De breczin and Grosswardein in your rear, and cut you off from the upper army. Ta hinder this must be at present our main task, and for this purpose the above-mentioned concentration has been resolved by the government. It is midnight at this moment the minister Canny i, Lieutenant Field-marshal Kiss and General Aul'c t start to take Gorgey the decisive order for the concentration of the troops on Szegedin. I may add confidentially that the seat of the government will be also removed thither.—Perseverance and hope for the victory of our just cause. (Signed) L. Rosen, Governor.

After the battle lost at Rub it was his opinion that the govern eseot should transfer its sear, without lots of time, once more to the other aide of the Tad% ae he could not answer for their security in Peatb for 24 hours. Under such circtioutinces, as governor of the country, I conceive it to he my imperative duty timely to transfer te a place of security the moveable property of the rate, and particularly bank, ammunition, military clothing, arms manufactory, ike.; bat ti keep the vat of the government as ling as possible in Buda Peeth. The reports upon the march of the enemy to Grosswardein appear to be not quite exact. Nevertheless, Visocky has received Mat: uctions to cross the Theis, on the 7th. Meanwhile Perezel will pass that river, with nearly 10,000 men, t3-morrow. There was a bloody battle lief re Comore' on the 2nd. It laved from nine in the morning till fre in tho evening, when the en. my,co sipletely eated , fled and was pursued by ourtroope. In consquence of this, the government is still at Path, and hopes not to be obliged to deeamp. Meanwhile, myself must, for a time, take up my abode in Czentled. Of the main army 20,000 men abide as garrison in Comoro, and while these keep the enemy buiy, the remainder will with draw against the Russians, and in connexion with tho army of the Boa-Banat, hold as but of the next operations of the war the line of the Tr she and Maras.

Louts Komori!. Untitled, July 9, 1849. I hasten to inform the L. F. M. on the rate of the war here Comorn has remained occupied by from 18 to 20,000 men, to hold in check the Austrien army, or at least a great part of it. From 20 to 21,000 men are on the march tram Vgaitzen towards 'lstvan. General Perez.l has the chief command here over two army-corps, his own, which we have newly formed of 10,000 men, and the (sortie of Visocky and Hest will, 12,000 men. The Ant of these is today at Abony, and the second at Tart& They proceed according to circumstances across the Thetas, or along it upwards, when the army moves on from Ilatvan. Powerful columns of landsturm are at Nagy Ivan, lieresig, and Pii , p6ki. Toe Russiaxs, who crossed the Theis and 111111'..litcl on Debreezin, were 15,000 strong ; but they have withdraen again to join their army at Misktles, which consists of 15,000 more. The Austrians are marching on Buda, and yesterday their outposts were in B6riiivar. The bridge between Buda and Pearl is broken down. The government is going to Sorge din. In the B tees Banat, General Vetter commands : under him Guyon. lie has been reinforced by 6,000 veteran troops under General Kmoti, and has inhere to fall on Jellachieh. He ie, moreover, to raise the siege of Peterwardein, and take Teonswar. The commandevin-chief of the forces is General Messarne, with Demblroki at his side as general quarter muter. This is the state of things, L F.M. 110 at the future full of trivffulness, but under the condition of a smart energetic military authority being at the head. I offer to you herewith, L.F.M., the commend in chief of a:1 the Hungarian armies, and beg your speedy answer whether you accept, under what condictoas, and whether you cop eider Transylvania sufficiently sectred during your absence. I request your answer at Saegcdin. L. KOSOUTI7, TO GENERAL OEM. Sc• geden, July 18,1849. I have received your valuable despatches of the Bth and 9th of July, and hasten to assure you that for the present Transylvania has nothing to fear from the Russians u yet on the side of Orosswarleio and Debeeezith I have set the upper corps d'arme 3 under the come:mod of Ci inerel Benz .1, and phiced 12,000 new ten pc at his disposal. With these 24,000 troops he has marched from Called to Szolnok, ready, according to circumstances, to cro:a the Theis+, or to threaten the Russians on the right bank. At the same time we caused an lament.) levy of lindsturm of the brave Camanians, at St. Agate, not far from Kardsz ig,unler Colonel Karp may ; and for the covering of Grosswardein we provided with two battalions of infantry, two divisions of human. and eight guns, strengthened by a partisl recruit ment to the amount if 9 ,G 00 men, in the camp at Pascoki. The consequences of these movements was the rapid retreat th the Russians from Debrecrin, sad their kTICUItIOII of the whole line of the Theis.' ; so that the left bank of that ricer is completely free frein the enemy, and the right bank is also in our hands. Geo. Perezel is to-day in the mop at Szolnok and Abeny, with the intention of covering the right bank of the Theiss, and the space of land between the Dinnbe and Theirs, together with Szegedin, as well as, according to circumstar.cis, to operate on the Balk and rear of the Raseisur, who swep with their mein force towards Hatvan, and from thence to Perth and Waimea. The Austrian general, Ramberg, en. tend Buda on the 11th, with 6,000 men, but teems to have retired again. After we have destroyed the fortiticothms of Dada, no re„ std be laid to the occupation of either of th is completely untenable places. Nevertheless, we would haste fain remained in Perth ; but, in order to do this, I should have had to bring up and concentrate the Theist and Danube army, and thereby to evacuate regions out of which I could stamp armies with my foot after lost battler, while Penh of me no resources whatever. Therefore I have established it as a principle not to mike the oneratims of the war subservient to the security of the seat of govern taut, but to suit the seat or the government to the regain:lore Of the war. I know that it is better so. To-day we are at Baegedin, nest week perhaps we shall be at Arad or Grew wardein, which I should prefer to any other locality. As Orr myself I am on the point of going nom village to village pick up volunteers, for I wish to form a new reserve of 30,000 men, and to command this reserve army in person. las month I bell :ye that I thallium the 30,000 men. General Vetter has began to take the offensive towards Jellimbich. The brave Guyon has beaten Jellachich, who is fled to Titel. Guyon pursues him to-day, while General Kama relieves Peterwardein to-day. Meanwhile, Colonel Banffy taking up by forced marches the columns in Rena Lucia falva and Aradasz, is spcody towage's Perlin, and will try to take Titel before Jellachich can Net thee although he will hardly mowed, I think, and fitel will again be a had nut tor us —Vedremo. The troops and their afters are valiant. The upper army (ha! on that subject I shall have much to tell you 4) is still at Comoro. On the 12th it had a great battle without result, is still in the entrenched camp, great loss on both sides, but the enemy's much the greater—particularly in cavalry. • • • • The folowing appears to form part of an earliar letter from Kossuth to Beal :—Tners is one circumstance for me, for you, and for the whole country extremely afflicting and painful. General Gargey wrote from Comorn on the 2nd of July " The battle of Rub is lost. The enemy oat• flanked us towards Bicske, for I cannot, in the face of 00,000 men extend my line au far from the point d'appui. The enemy will, wit►in 48 hours, be in Buds.

REFUSAL OF THE PORTE TO ACCEDE TO THE DEMANDS OF RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. The expectation expressed by ear correspondent that the subjoined letter, confided to the care of the Austrian post, would be examif.el by the Austrian police, was well founded. The letter reached its destination resealed by a stamp bearing the impress of the double eagle, and an inscription intimating that the letter was opened at Vienna on the 19th inst. The Austrian police can no more resist the temptation of a sealed letter, than Pandora could that of a closed box. Wh ilst we gratefully ac knowledge the liberality of the Austrian police letter openers in allowing the letter to reach its destination, we would reipsetfully represent that inasmuch as the lAastrian government (and apparently that govern ment's press) has participated in the information the letter conveys, his Imperial Majesty ought in common honesty to have paid one-half of the postage. CONSTANTINOPLE Ace. 8. I run the risk of writing to you by t he Austrian courier, who goes overland to Vienna, by Belgrade. That t his letter will be opened by tho Austrian police I have not the least doubt ; by examining the seal you can easily ascertain that fact. The news, how ever, which I have to communicate is of too much limpUrtatce to delay sending it till the departure of the French steamer on the 15th instant. In my last letter I informed you that Russia and Austria had peremptorily demanded of the Porte to adopt hostile measures against Hungary, in consequence of Bem having entered the Turkish territory with his I army. After a long discussion on the subject in a council of the Sultan's ministers, it was decided, as I had anticipated, that Turkey should preserve a strict neutrality, and that, moreover, measures shculd ba taken to have that neutrality . respected. In replying to the demand of the Raman and Austrian envoys, the ministers of the Porte referred to the convention lately made, by which it was agreed that all troops entering the Turkish territory from Transylvania should b 3 di-armed. When a body of Hungarian troops were summoned by the custom-house officers on the frontier to give up their arms, they at once complied; when the same demand was made to the Ragman troops, on their entering the Turkish terri tory, they refused. Feed Effendi, the commissioner of the Pouf, did not enforce tho demand, and the Russian troops in the principalities still retain their arms. The Russians alone violated the convention to the - terms of which they had agreed, and where the Turkish authorities have shown any remissness, it was solely in favour of those who demanded that hos tile measures should be adopted by the Sultan's go vernment against the Hungarians. If the Russians had tot adopted Wallachia and Moldavia as the basis of hostile operations against the Hungarians, the lat ter would never have entered the T ur kish territory. This is the sense of the reply given by the Porte to the Russian and Austrian envoy.. And the ministers of the Sultan added, that " they were determined for the future to ecforce the terms of the convention, and to insist upon the neutrality of the Ottoman empire being respected. i " It s understood that Sir Stratford Canning and General Ausaick have employed all their influence in urging the Porte - to resist the demands of Ramis. It will be strange if these powers refused their approba tion of the pieaent wise and honourable policy of the Porte, which their representatives have so warmly abeted. We have just learned that the Crunch of the Asso ciation has assembled twice since the Diury-late meeting to deliberiee on the best MCIII4 of carrying into attic' the res.:loins sanctioned by the unani mous voice of 5,000 Englishmen on that occasion. At the that of the.° meetings of council it was re solved that the title of the association should hence forth be "The National Pariamentary and Financial R-foren Association." We lay li:tle stress on names or titles ; but we think the council were right in thus early and unequivocally declaring their acceptance of the extended duties devolved upon them by the vote et the Drury-lane meeting. A resolution, passed at the meeting of council on Wednesday la st, is, however, of more importance. The council resolved that a national conference shall be convened in London at an early day, to consider in what winner a national agitation can be most effec tively conducted; and that delegates shall be invited to attend this conference from all the financial and reform associations throughout the kingdom, and from public meetings held to elect delegates in all the prin cipal towns. There can be no doubt, in the present temper of the pubiic mind, that this appeal will meet with a general and sympathising response. Ere long the metropolis will witness an assembly of the delegated reformers from England, SLotlaud, and Ireland, met to deliberate on the means by which parliamentary reform, with a view to ob sin financial reform, may be mos: readily obtained. The most important objects to be attained by such a conference are, on the one hand, the ascertain ment of the views in which the reformers dis persed over the wide surface of these islands coin cide ; on the other, to ohtin a guarantee that the ob jects upon which they aro agrezd shall be prosecuted ' with zeal, unanimity, and the discarding of minor differences. To this end it is incumbent upon the towns and asso ciations which shall send chi-gates to the conference to study attentively the programme approved at the Drury-lace meeting, and to instruct their delegates to require any further elucidation regretting the ob jects of tie move neat, thit they may deem nrcessary, and to suggest any mod.■ of action which they may regard as peculiarly promising of good results. When the conference have agreed up.in the great objects of the movement, and the means by which it is to be serried on, the utzost unanimity, the meet perfect discipline and subordination will be re quired to ensure success. But this obedience ti disci?line, this subordination, mast be the result of conviction, and that can only be at'ained by the utmost latitude of frank and free disiuvion at the outset. If, therefore, our voice coati have any influence with the leaders of the movement we wouli adjure them to tolerate, to invite the most unre,erved ex pression of local acd individual opinion in the first meetings of the congress. Could it have any in fluence with the reformers of Great Britain at large we would implore them after this free and unreserved discussion to adhere to the resolutions of the con ference with the implicit obedience of soldiers or the brethren ef a monastic order. HUNGARY. KOSSUTR'S CORRESPONDENCE MUTU BEM. Tne fo'lowing letters, found in the travelling enr , che of Item, which was captured at tie battle of Schuss burg, and written by Kossuth to the commander of the army in Transylvania, hare been given to the world in the Oraterruchische Correspondents. They appear to be only a small fraction of the documents which fell into the hands of the Austrians on that oc casion, but they are replete with interest, and throw much light not only on the war, but opon the charac ter of the man who has been its soul—Louts Kossuth : The first of these letters was written by the gover nor to Bent on the day after he issued that eels brand proclamation of the 27th of June, calling upon the peoplo to unite in a general crusade against the invaders. Gilley, after the capture of Buds, had taken command of the army in the north, and was at this moment retreating before Paskiewitch through Miskolcz to Waitzen and Kumoro. Kossuth contem plated this retreat without making a stand as a fatal mistake, pregnant with rain to the Hungarian cause. He mentions particularly in his proclamation the ad vantages for defence presented by Erlsn, and urges the laadsturm to build barricades there. Anything to stay the Russians from reaching Pesth before a decisive blow could be dealt by Klapka on the army of Haynau. He therefore de termined at once to abandon the deforms of 'Transylvania to bring Bem with his whole corps to Grosswaradein, and appoint Lim commander-in chief of the Hungarian army. This abandonment to Paskiewitch of the whole rood from the Dukla to Faith, without striking a blow, was the origin of dis agreement between Kossuth and Liiirgey, whom the governor had not long before appointed minister of war. Ile now sent Gorgey his conyi, appointed Munroe minister of war, and Dembinski com niander-in-chief of the fo-ces, Beta not being able to dis.ngags himself from Traneylvanis. In all these letters of Ko: !nth are stamped the qualities which distinguish the greatest men. He sees instan ly the thing to be done, and sets about the doing of it with an irre.ietible energy of will. Ho works with the spirit of a man who sees at hand distir.ctly the event, which others can only vaguely surmise. "To save the country this run. tbe done ; a this is not done we are lost." Such is his language. Clear of eye, strong et will, indefatigable in work, jest in purpose, of a loving tender heart. Nothing about him stratned plain in speech and straightfor ward in dealing ; with an utterance lull of fervour when he barer guesthe multitude, fall of ease and even at times humorous and playful when he writes to a fricod. His style is pregnant with genius. Each transition brings a fresh mood, which clo'hes itself in the most apt language. He stops to make an arith mtt:cal calculation of the impossibility of furnishing Btm with the bank notes which he asks for, with all the tzactneis that could be demanded from a senior optime. Then he flashes out about Bero's suspension of the constitution. Now be is fretted by the dirien ikons of the generals in the Banat, "when an must be at one or we are lost:" "but if we can only achieve' the concentration of our forces, we Will beat the Rue sian and Austrian corps, one after the other, and con quer the freedom of the world."

(Signed) KOSSVTH, Governor. Pesth, June 28, 1849. Pestb, June 28, 1849. at night. Lieut. Field Marshal,—Your letter, dated Klausenbur;, 23r.1, has just reached me. The intelligence it contains eon eerning the Russian invasion in Transylvania was already known to me. The death of Colonel Ki-s, at Cranstan, has pained me deeply. I regret to see that the Lieut. Field. Marshal cannot come from Transylvania into the Boast. Great is the danger there too as it is, in fact, everywhere. , Now come our heaviest days. May God bless our endeo- Tours, for truly we need it. In the Banat there is perrtual squabbling among the commanders. And yet without order, coherence, sal union we are lost. Far the Bum-Banat, since the Lieut. Field-Marshal cannot come, we have arranged thus. There aro three corps d'armele : I The one formerly commanded by N any, now by Guym. 12. The Baca corps of Perczel, now commanded by Toth. 3. That which you, Lieut. Field Marshal, were to lead them' in person, in compensation for the aozilialy soaps mil yea to Veva, cemounder of the corps Banffy. Head eassmwedsr of all the army corps and divisions assembled in the Beer Banat, Lieut.-Gen. Vetter. Other contentions 1 have retasd; but Col. Sanity appeals to your order to terve under no sae but you (on the suprodtion that you are coming in person) or Gen. Perczel. I have pint him the necessary instructions,. l but I beg that yen will also have the goodness, Lieut. Field I Marshal, on your part, to inform the military commanders detached from your army that, so lo u they are separated from that army, they must regard their commanding tifiCer the parson who is so appointed by the govern ment. In the prese nt instance this is 0 Yeller, sines you are prevented from coming yourself. I must sincerely and openly declare my opinion, that if we can coneentrite oar s forces rapidly, rapidly mind, the maw ry is saved ; if not, it i lost. My heart bleeds to say it, but I do say it with the firmest conviction, that if this were done quickly I would be ready to give op whee provinces, yes, four-fifths of the whole Bad to see our forces concentrated with rapidity. For so we shall bat the enemy, and the enemy beaten• the provinces are our's spin; but the army scattered the nation is mined, and the provinces avail us not ajot. Therefore Hirers my wish, that you come with your THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. THE ADJOURNED INQUESI'. The coroner's inquest upon the bxly of the tint Ir tunes Patrick O'Connor wai resumed yesterday by Mr. W. C trier, the coroner, at the Leather Mark-t Tavero, Ber mondsey. As might have beta expected from the ex citement this event has occasioned in the public micd, the Inquest room was crowded. Several of the personal friends of t►e deceased gentleman were in attendance watching the proceedings. A large phetion of the day's proceeding, was given in all the impressions of last evening's Express. The remainder, the [create/ part of which was given in • second edition last night, was as follows: Mr. S. Lockwood—l am a surgeon, residing in Minter terrace, Trashy-square, Horseenongetolane. I am not in practise. On Friday last, between one and two o'clock, I was in the neighhourhood of Weston-street, when I re 'sited certain information which caused me to go to No. ilr Minter place. I announced myself as a surgeon. Ism the polite at the door, who admitted me. I inquired where the body was, and was shown down into the back kitchen. I raw there that some slabs had ben removed, sad the earth turned up. A police officer and a labourer wire dining at the time. I saw the feet of • person exposed The person was lying on his face, but from the position in which the body was, being doabled up, I could scarcely say at first which way he had been buried. The body was much lower than the het. I remained until the excavation was completed, and assisted in exhuming the body. Waen the earth was removed I saw that the leers were tied back to the haunches or thighs. They were firmly tied down. This gave rise to the exposure of the feet, as stated by the last witness. The body, except as to the legs, was in a natural state, as a body would be placed. I assisted in omen:lna the dirt, when they got near the head, in order that no injury should be inflicted on that part of the body by the shovel. I removed the dirt myself very carefully. On examining it I felt a very extensive fracture in the superior part of the lnd. The fracture was rather towards the back of the head, and was so large that I could introduce my two finger*. It was rather • long fracture. Tte scalp was in jured. Some observation was made about the miesioe person wearing false teeth. I had previously seen the public plc card describing the person and dress of the mi*eine gentle man, and which stated that he wore false teeth. There was not any article of clothing on the body when foxed. I took the dirt away from the head and face, and raised it with one hand, and put my hand into the mouth to feel if there was any false teeth, or teeth at all in it. I found there a full set of false teeth for both jaws. The teeth were demanded from me by Mr. Slow, the summoning officer, and I goes them to him. Shortly afterwards the body was raised out of the hole, and it was removed in my preemies into the front kitchen. Except that the teeth were taken out, the body remained in the same state as when found until the jury saw it. Thera was a considerable quan tity of lime about the body. When we found it, it was fast dscomposieg. I cannot form any accurate opinion as to how bog the body bad been buried. Slack lime would tend to hoolitate decomposition. I examined the body minutely when it was in the front kitchen. Mr. Oiling was there at the time. I found another fracture at the back of the head on the right side. Mr. Oiling, who also examined the head, called my attention to a prominence or hard lump near the eyebrow. I examined it also and cut down upon it ; there was no external wound ; and extracted rather a large slug or bullet, weighing nearly 3 drachms. I have that still in my possession. (The wit less produced the bullet, which was of the size of a large pistol or rifle bullet). On removing the bullet I found a hole on the frontal bone ever the right eye. I have made a subsequent examination, and from that I should say it had been discharged hem a pistol or gun. No weapon was found from which it woe likely this piece of lead might have been discharged. lam satisfied the it juries I found in the head could not have arisen from the excavation. Charles Slaw, the summoning officer to this court-1 live at No. 1, Debenhanoterrace, Doekhead. Oa Friday last, from information I received, I went to the house ' No. 3, Miever-place, in the parish of St. Mary Magdalen, Bermond sey. I found there the body of a man lying on its face in a hole in the back kitchen. 1 sent tor some ropes and placed them under the body. I then got a shutter and removed it into the front kitchen. I saw Mr. Lockwood examining the body previous to its being taken from the hole, and 1 saw also a set of teeth being washed by that gentleman. Ire • aired the teeth from him. The set of teeth I now produce are the same. Mr. D. Graham—l am an officer of the Customs, sad reside at 6, Lincoln-plsce, New North-road, Holton. I knew the deceased, Mr. O'Connor. I have known him ten or twelve years. I last saw him alive on the 9th inst., at about a quarter to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. I saw him about the middle of London-bridge. I was in company with Mr. Keating. He appeared to be in good health. I saw nothing unusual about him. I cannot remember his dress exactly, but I know he had an umbrella. He were a black hat I did not notice any other article of dress or ornament about him. I do not know whether he wore a watch or guard. I should say he wore • black stock. He usually wore a black reek. Had he worn a white cravat on the oc casion I should certainly have noticed it. When we met him, it struck me he was going over the water to Manning's. I stud to him, " Are you going over to Menning's 1" or, to 0 Maria's "—I don't know which. I did not know where he lived. He made no reply, but took out a letter, and said he was asked to go to dinner at 5 o'cicck. He handed me the letter to read. I did not read it all but I did read a part of it. It was signed " Maria." I had seen the hand-writing before. The purport of what I read was "we shall expect to see you to dinner." I did not notice when. I asked him who are " we." I received a reply, hut am not sure whether it came from Mr. K-ating or Mr. O'Connor. That reply led me to understand " we" to mean Manning and his wife I saw Manning once about two years ago. I did not know him by name. I saw Mrs. Manning once at Mr. O'Connor's house. That was about two years ego. Since then 1 have frequently seen her walk ing in the streets with Mr. O'Connor, and occasionally wait ing at the docks for him. They appeared to be very well acquainted. lam not aware of the nature of the connexion which existed between Mr. O'Connor and Mrs. Manning. Wcen I saw her at Mr. O'Connor's house she did not ap pear to be on terms more familiar than an intimate friend or acquaintance would be. When I have seen them together in the streets they appeared to be on the terms of intimate acquaintance. I did not observe the terms in which the letter, which was shown to me, began or con cluded. Mr. O'Connor used to call Mrs. Manning Maria, but I think I have heard him also call her Mrs. Manning. I am is the same department es deceased was. I should not hove been likely to see him on the following day, tho Friday after I met him, as my station was at Nicholson'*-wharf, and his was at St. Katherine's. I did not hear of his absence until Saturday. I have been shown letters by Mr. O'Con nor, signed " Maria, " before, which I understood to have come from Mrs. Man ning. Mr. George Oiling, of No. 159, High-street, Borough—l am a surgeon in practice. lam the divisional surgeon to the M division of police. I was sent for on Friday last, about three o'clock, to go to No. 3, Minver place. New vo ce emeeeeeet nos arriving there I saw the body of a man lying in a bole in the back kitchen. He was lying on his sto mach, with his legs tied back behind his thighs. The body was covered with lime, which adhered to it all over. The body was quite u white with it as paper. I partly examined it as it lay. I detected that the cranium was fractured. I saw the body removed. It was taken into the front kitchen. Then I examined the front pert of the head, and discovered • foreign substance, under the integuments over the right eye. The substance was loose. I could move it with the finger*. I pointed it out tea Mr. Lockwood, who made an incleion and extracted it. He gays it to me and it proved to be a leaden bullet, I did net, at that time, examine the head. Beyond the fact of the fracture of the head and the extraction of the bullet. I discovered no other injury about the body sufficient to account for the death. There was no stab or cut of any kind. I have opened the body since in conjunction with Mr. Lockwood. I examined it externally before doing so, but found no other injuries than those above mentioned. I have opened the head and stomach since ; I have opened the abdomen but cot the chest. I did not ob serve any mark of violence on the chest, and did not think it neesteary, having found au in cient cause of death in the head, to open it. The Coroner remarked that the witness having received orders to examine the body, ought to have left no viscera unopened. Examination resumed : I opened the head first. I removed the greater portion of the hair, and examined the head ex ternally. There were several severe wounds on the scalp— some deeper than others. There were u many as 18 differ ent wounds on the scalp altogether. They were mostly at the top of the heat towards the back part, and on the right side. The wounds I saw appeared to me, most of them, to have been inflicted by some blunt instrument, but not all. Had the instrument been sharp, the bone would have been cut but that was not th case e . It was fractured. I should say that the wounds had certainly been inflicted by the back or sharp part of a large hammer, such as bricklayers use, which would be about an inch and a half wide. The law:roman could not have bad any division In the middle. The leaden ball was found between the cranium and scalp in the front of the head. It mold not have come there without an external wound or hole ; hut I did not discover a distinct external hol e It is probable that the wounds I have described, the fractures made by the blunt instrument, might have obliterated the hole. I reflected back the scalp, and on doing so found the bone of the cranium fractured and separated into many pieces. I have some of the pieces to produce. (The witness here produced 16 pieces of the skull in the state in which they had been ected b him from the body.) There were many m ore broken pieces uncollected which I I might have taken, in the same region of the skull. Those injuries could not have been done by the bullet. The skull was broken within a half an inch of where the bullet was found; that was next a sound piece of bone. I should Wale the bullet had entered the brain at some plan e towards the back of the skull, but in consequence of the saksulshl the back bas oou k ld af n sh o s t sk disco au : w er hwh whe a r p e . . probably was the place.

FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE AT THE NEW COAL E XC HANOB.—Yesterday an accident of a frightful character took place at the New Coal Exchange, Lower Thames-street, City, to a man named Joseph Ramsey, aged 28 years. The unfortunate man was in the service of Messrs. Robinson and Co., the extessive plate-glass and lead merchants, of Swan Wharf, Upper Thames-street, who had recently secured the contract to supply the plate-glass for the tower on the sum . mit of the New Coal Backup facing the fish market, Bil lingsgate. He proceeded to the upper part of the building, and ascended the tower, for the purpose of taking the mea surement for the glass, and while so engaged he loot his equilibrium, and fell from the platform on to the stone land icrpleoe below (a distance of nearly 50 feet), sustaining injuries of a dreadful character from the fall. The unfortu nate man was conveyed with all care and speed to the accident ward of St. Thomas's Hospital, where Mr. Mac murdo and Mr. Bird, the surgeons, promptly rendered every possible aid, but last night he was sinking fast. ROBBERY AT BRIGHTON PAVILION.—Daring the night of Thursday, the apartment consoled by Sir Harry Barell, leiaut.-Colonel of the 7th Dragoon Guards, over the Pavilion stables at Brighton, was broken into by • thief', who carried off about 41. in money, and same 'deer fork, and spoons. The depredator entered the room by breaking through the skylight; and footsteps were traced from the apartment into the ridintschool, across the lawn, and to the wail near the northern entrance of the Pavilion grounds. of death beyond what I h.ve produced. I sat the stomach to be sash sed in cousegf•ence of a bottle of laudanum hiv ing been found in the house by the police. The plies man Barne■ here proiluced a brute cmtaining laudanum, which he said he had found in the front room, up stain, of the house in Miciver-place. Examination resumed: I have not the stomach now, I have destroyed it. lie immediate cause of death was undoubtedly the fractures on the skull, which were sufficient to cause death half a dozen times over, were it possible. I traced the milks of the ham mer, as I suppose it to have been, on the head. They were mostly across the head. Whether the party was drugzed or shot, I have no hesitation in eayieg that the cause of death was the fractures in the skull, many or which I have to doubt whatever were inflicted during life. It would be all but impossible to detect any appearance of opium in the stomach . That is one of the most difficult poisons to detect. Mr. Lockwood re-examined—l assisted the last winces in his examination of the body. On the external part of the scalp I noticed 18 or 19 deep wounds, such as have been de scribed by the last witness, which appeared to have been in flicted by some instrument not very sharp nor very blunt. They appeared to have been inflicted by . such a hammer as bricklayers and plasterers use to clean bricks with. I mean a hammer having a sort of hatchet at one end and a bleu edge at the other. There were incisions as well as fractures, and I should say these had been made by the sharp side of the instrument and the other jagged wounds with the blunt side. The wounds generally were , horizontal, but some of them were on one side. The wounds were principally on the right side of the head. I should therefore say they had been inflicted when the deceased was in a recumbent position, no, had they been inflicted when the party was in an erect position, they would have teen indis criminately on the one side end the other. I saw the cranium which was extensively fractured. I saw Mr. Odling take several pieces of the skull away. They were quite detached. Tne fractures could not have been made by one blow, but by several. I endeavoured to trace the course of the bullet, but could not succeed. We turned the s back where the fractures were, but could not ascertain where the bullet had entered, in consequence of the broken state of the skull. There was no aperture in the front, and the bullet therefore must have entered from the back. With regard to the cause of the death, if the shot did not produce death the fractures were quite sufficient to de stroy life. I should say that the shot would have caused death, but as we have not been able to discover its course, I cannot speak with certainty. The blows which produced the fracture were most certainly inflicted before vitality had ceased. It was quite impossible that suck injuries could have been inflicted by the deceased upon himself. An inrpector of police stated that he had been directed by Mr. Seeker, the magistrate, to state that the property found on the woman Manning when apprehended would be shown to the friends of deceased tz-morrow morning, when, should, they identity anything as having belonged to the deceased, it would he produced in evidence before this court. The coroner said it would be necessary to produce every thing which might have been found belonging to the de ceased, or which might tend to elucidate the cause of death. Mr. fileorge Colman—l am a builder. I live at No. 1 Minn'. place. The house No. 3 is my property. My attention was first called to this matter on Tuesday evening week last, when I was told that during my absence from home • man had tailed, and that he had stated that Mr. and Mrs. Manning had gone away; that the furniture had ell been removed ; and that it was suspected that • man had been murdered. I found the house was unoccupied. A man came out at the door while I was making inquiry. I asked who he was, but he refused to give me either his rime or address. I told him who I was, and he replied, "Do they owe you any rend " ' I said, " No." He answered, " Then you have no claim on the property." The been No. 3 was inhabited by Frederic George Manning and his wife. I did not know the Christian name of his wife. They had occupied the house sines Lady day. The rent was paid up en Midsummer-day. I could not enter the houses they being quarterly tenants, holding under an agreement. Ido not think I was ever in the house after they took possession. The agreement was between Frederick Clecrae Manning and myself. I have the agreement here ; I saw him sign it. (The agreement was then produced and taken posses ion of by the coroner.) I should know both Manning end his wife again if I saw them. I had a reference when they took the house. It was to Mr. O'Connor. The reference was not given to me personally, but to the person who acted for me ; I received the reference myself. The house was let on the condition that half a quarter be paid in advance ; and I have 31. in hand towards the current quarter. Ido not know that they ever had a servant or a lodger while in the house, but I have seen another female besides Mrs. Manning t here occasionally. Mr. W. Massey-1 am a medical student. I live at Swark stone, Derbyshire. I lodged at No. 3, Minver-place. I left that residence a mouth last Saturday. I believe that wiz the day I left. I had lodged there nine or ten weeks. My landlord was Frederick George Manning. Thetis the name I always knew him by. His family consisted of his wife only. Her name was Maria Manning. I believe her former name was De Roux. I saw that name on one of her pocket hand kerchiefs. 1 have seen it also on some of her linen. I think he used to call her by another name than Maria. I we i. sometimes to take my meals with them. I did so frequently. They dil not keep a servant while I was there, but a person used to come occasionally to clean out the rooms. They did not keep any company besides Mr. Patrick O'Connor. He was frequently there. I knew him by having been intro duced to him by Manning. Mr. O'Connor dined three times at Manning's table with me while I was there. He appeared to be on friendly terms with Mr. and Mrs. Manning. I enw him at his own house I believe twice. That was with Man ning and I believe his wife. I accompanied them there. He came to Manning's once, I believe, to spend the whole evening. He appeared to be very friendly with Mrs. Manning, but there did not appear to be any improper intimacy between them. I cannot say that I have ever seen them on such intimate terms as would induce a supposition that the Mennings c and Mr. O'Connor were well acquainted with each other's circumstances. I have heard Manning, and I believe his wife, say that O'Connor was a wealthy man, and that he was worth 20,0001. lam sure I have heard both of them speak of him as a man of property. I was brought here from Derbyshire to give evidence. A constable came to me, and told me that Mr. O'Connor had been murdered, and summoned me to attend. Some con versation occurred between me and Manning and his wife, in reference to the deceased, while I lodged there. One night, about eight o'clock, I went home to my lodging, and found Manning sitting in my room. I sat down, and had a pipe and some half-and-half. lie asked me what drug would be most likely to produce stupefaction, or partial in toxication, so as to cause • person to put his hand to paper. He then said his wife had been to the docks, and seen Mr. O'Connor. Mrs. Manning was present at the time. Ho add that she had seen Mr. O'Connor at the docks in • state of intoxication, and that she went home with him, and he showed her his will. This was stated by Manning and hie wife too. They sail that O'Connor in that will had made over also a considerable portion of his property to her (Mrs. Manning). There had been some differ ences end disagreements between O'Connor and Manning about the lodgings which O'Connor was to have taken before I occupied them. I recollect seeing • County Court paper from the Whiteckspel Court, with the words " ' Manning or. O'Connor," on it. This was before the conversation respect ing the will. Manning told me that Mr. O'Connor paid the amount be had owed him for rather than go into court. Previous to the conversation about the will, Manning asked me (I had been reading a medical work when he came in), what part of the skull would be the most dan gerous to injure. I said, 1 believed that injuries under the ear had been most frequently attended with fatal results. On another OCCabioll the subject of conversation being Rush, he asked me whether I. thought a murderer went to he even. I replied "No," and quoted some part of the scriptures in favour of that view. His conversation generally was of a trivial character, and distingushed by . great levity through out. I recollect another observation he made which was that O'Connor had got drunk at the docks from drinking brandy or port wine as • preventive to the cholera. This was on the occasion when the will was mentioned by O'Connor to his (Manning's) wife. After this observation we. made he said to his wife, "You get O'Connor to come to this house, and addressing me he said, "You frighten him well about the cholera, and get him to take large quantities of brandy." This was said' to me and Mrs. Manning when we were in the room together. On the same occasion on which the will was mentioned he (Manning) intimated that if the) sould get O'Connor there he would put some stupefying drug in the brandy or wine that he drank. He told mo that he hated O'Connor, and that O'Connor hated him. But their conduct when they met was of the most fr ieodly description. Ile said he knew that O'Connor would pay him off some time or other for the 30s. he had sued him for. I know of nothing more that occurred that night that bad reference to the death of O'Connor. I did not believe what he said to me at the time he tail it. I believe nothing. I recollect on one occasion his asking me this ques t Con : have you ever had or fired an air gun off ? and wanted to know what sort of a weapon It was. I said I had not, but I had seen them fired off in some expetimean on natural philosophy. Ile then asked if they made any noise ? I told him I thought they did not ; I could not soy positively, for it was some years since I had seen one fired off, but I did not believe they made much noise. These questions came up naturally from the conversation we were holding. I should say certa inly not by design on the part of Manning. He asked me if chloroform and laudanum nad not been given as stupefying agents d 1 said I thought they had. I had no apprehension of anything wrong from trt se questions. Oa one occasion he said to me, " For God's sake never marry • foreigner, for she will be the ruin of you if you do." His wife and he appeared to live very friendly together, though on one occasion while I was in bed in the morning I heard a quarrel between them end a noise as though some person had fallen on the ground. By a Juror—l left because Manning appeared to want to get me out of the how*. His wile, too, appeared anxious that I should leave ; but they did not seem inclined to give me my bill. She told me that my bill amounted to M. 35., but she wrote to my friends for 41. 10s. I wrote to my father not to send it. I never knew the Manning, before I went to town with them. He asked me why I locked my door at night—whether I was afraid of having my throat cut. I told him I always did so when in a strange place. By the Coroner —l never saw any weapon s or a hammer in the house, but there were some garden tools, and amongst them aWO hoe. When be asked me what wculd produce stupefaction, it was before the conversation concern ing the will. I have seen Mr. O'Connor at the house onee, I be lieve, late at night, when]. went home ; butthe terms he and the Kennings app to be on made that appear natural. When Manning said to me that O'Connor hated him, and he hated O'Connor, no conversation arose between us on that observation. When I was with them at O'Connor's lodgings I saw no undue familiarity between Mrs. M anoii. g and O'Connor ; but remember seeing her go into O'Connor's bed-room ones.
