There was a great deal of other conversation between him and me, not with respect to the murder, but it had some reference to it. I was not asleep during . any part of the journey. The prisoner did not sleep ; he appeared quite awake and lively. I sat opposite to .him in the train. 'We arrived at Vauxhall station at 'ten o'clock, and we brought the prisoner in a cab to the stationhere, which occupied about twenty minutes. My statement with respect to what the prisoner said 'was taken down last night by Mr. Hayward, of the Treasury, at my own house. The witness was further cross-examined and re e:camined with respect to his having talked over the statement of Manning with his brother officer, but nt)thipg important was elicited. Mr. Sergeant Langley, of the detective force, was next examined—He said his attention was first called to this murder on the 17th of August, and: up to the 231 he had been incessantly em- played with reference to it. On the 24th of August he went to !Jersey in company with Lockyer, an- Have you seen her since ?—Yes ; she is the female prisoner. She asked him where he had brought it from, and he told her. He gave her the bill. She said it was charged rather more than the price agreed upon whenlit was ordered. Told her it weighed rather more, and took father longer to make than was supposed. She paid the money without any further remark. By Mr. Solomons —This took place on the afternoon of the 28th of July. had not seen the prisoner since. Only saw her a few minutes. Now, sir, having seen her only for a few minutes, do you mean to solemnly swear that she was the party ?—I do swear it solemnly. Sepp, 162 M, produced the shovel. Found it in the house on the 27th of August. There are marks of mortar upon it. On furthering examining it, found marks of congealed blood, human hair, and ashes. Some of the hair was removed_by Mr. Lock wood at the inquest. %Yw. Cahill identified.:the shovel as the one he 44 THE SUN, LONDO'N, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1849. other officer.

He said " Oh, sergeant, is that you; lam glad you have come. I was coming to London to explain it all. Is the wretch taken ?" I said, " Yes, I believe she is, but I don't know," sup posing that he alluded to his wife. He said, " I sup pose they found a great deal of money upon her, 1,3001. or 1,4001." I said "I do not know ; but you must consider yourself in custody on the shucking charge which took place at your house on Monday." He said, " Oh, I can explain it, and make it all right." I tuld Lockyer to put the handcuffs on as soon as he was dressed, and he said, " Oh, do not do that; you know me well enough." I replied, " I must do my duty in such a serious case as this." In going from the house to the goal he said, " I am perfectly innocent ; she did the murder," adding " that she invited O'Connor to dinner ; that when the cloth was laid she asked him to go down stairs to wash his hands, and when at the bottom of the stairs, she put one band cn his shoulder:and shot him in the back of the head." Captain Chevailar, who was in the carriage, asked what was done with the body, and he said she had a grave dug for him ; h., did not give the answer immediately, but paused first, a second or two. When I saw him at the goal on the following morning, he first asked me how long he would be kept there, as he was anxious to get to London to explain all ? I said, " You had better be cautious, for what you , Oh, it doe s , ayhere weasre not bo matter, undtorepl am perfectly He said, innocent, I can explain it in a few minutes." I brought the prisoner over in the Dispatch boat, and on board he asked me " whether, if she confessed, he would be free ?" I said he must really excuse me, as an officer, giving an answer to such a question. He said again, " She must confess if she is taken before a magistrate or a clergyman." He then repeated the statement with respect to the shooting, in similar terms as before. Manning was very ill when he started from Jersey, and when he arrived at Southampton Inspector Haynes met us on the vessel reaching its destination. There was some conversation in the railway carriage, but I was fatigued, and felt rather sleepy, and I cannot recol lect what was said. I took possession of his luggage at Jersey, and I found in a coat pocket some gun powder, amounting to about enough for a charge. I shook it out of a piece of tissue-paper in which it was enclosed. Nothing important was elicited in cross-examination. Henry Lockyer, police-constable 90 A, said he accompanied Langley to Jersey, and was present when Manning was taken into custody. On board the Dispatch boat from Jersey, Manning said, " She certainly did it, but she will not be hung for it, be cause the Duchess of Sutherland will intercede and get her off." In the railway train he said he was a foolish man for going away—that he ought to have gone at once to the authorities that Mrs. Manning had done it, fur he said she coukl not die happy without doing it, for he had deceived her twice." (This, of course, was in allusion to O'Connor, although not stated in evidence.) The witness then corroborated the conversation that tcok place, when Manning said that O'Connor promised to lodge at Minver-place, but, after sleeping one night, had left and refused to come again. John Basset, clerk to Messrs. Killich and Co., 6, Bank Chambers, City, being sworn, said—At the latter end of July and the beginning of August a person came to our office whom I then knew as Mr. Patrick O'Connor ; that is the man I mean (pointing to Manning). On the 31st, or thereabouts, he came to the office, and I introduced him into the back room. He said he came to make inquiries about some stock, and to know our terms. I introduced him to our principal. On Thursday, the 2d of August, about two o'clock, he came again, and apologised to me for not calling as he had promised. He said that he did not want the money upon the shares for a few days. On the 11th of August he also came, and brought some stock with him. I said that our manager was out, but that I would manage the business for him which he wished transacted. He produced twenty consoli dated shares in the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany. I asked him how much money he required ; he replied 1201. or 1301. I said that I can let you have 110/. ; he said that would do on the stock in question, and gave the name Patrick O'Conner. I asked him where he lived, and he said 21, Green wood-street, Mile-end-road. I advanced to him a 1001. note, a Si. note, and five sovereigns. The pri soner, in my presence, signed the transfer of the shares, " Patrick O'Connor, 21, Greenwood-street, Mile-end-road." I received the bank notes which 1 gave to him from Mr. Hammond, who is another clerk in our office. He was very communicative and talkative; he said he was going to Exeter to fish, and that he would make me a present of some salmon. On the following Monday I went to:the address given by the prisoner.; Mr. Bodkin said he would not ask the witness any further questions. Richard Hammond said—l_recollect a gentleman coming into our office; that person is present; there he is (directing his attention to Manning). I re member when he called giving Mr. Basset, the former witness, a 1001. note, No. 15,043, sth June, 1849, a 51. note, No. 20,051, July 13, 1849, and five sovereigns. I took the number of the notes at the time. The prisoner was present when I gave them to him. Mr. Griffiths, clerk in the Bank of England, pro duced the identical 1001. bank note, which he said was changed on the 11th of August. It is our cus tom to have the address of the person who presents a note written on the back of it, and if he refuses to give an address we decline changing the note. The address written on the back of this note is " Frederick Manning, 7, New'Weston-street, Bermondsey." I gave in change of it 50 sovereigns and a ticket, for which he could get what notes he liked, to the amount of 501. Mr. Joseph Adams, another clerk in the Bank of England said, that on the Ist of August he gave five 101. notes for the ticket which was produced by the , last witne3s. They were numbered from 67,572 to 67,576 inclusive. Mr. Bodkin here stated to the solicitors for the prisoners that Mr. Moxey was at present in Edin burgh, and could not be called, but he might men tion that among the articles found in the possession of the female prisoner at Edinburgh were the five 101. notes mentioned by the last witness. Mr. Shillibere, solicitor, carrying on business in Bucklersbury, said he knew the handwriting of Manning, and that the address upon the 1001. note was written by him. Mr. Stevens, stock-broker, of No. 3, Royal Exchange, said—l knew Patrick O'Connor. lie was one of my clients. On the 6th of August I delivered to him ten shares in the Sambre and Meuse, numbered from 6,460 to 6,469, inclusive. That was the last transaction I had with him. On the 11th May I purchased ten shares for him in the Amiens and Boulogne, numbered from 48,665 to 48,674, and delivered them to him on the same day. I have seen those shares since; they were produced by Mr. Moxey. The female prisoner is the person, I think, who came to my office on the Ist, 2d, or 3d of August last. She said she had some money to invest', and introduced herself by saying that she was recommended by Mr. Patrick O'Connor. I asked her in what she wished to invest, and she re- plied, stock that she could sell abroad. I said that was a very indefirate term, or something to that effect. I showed her a list of foreign stock, and she selected the Sambre and Meuse Railway. I asked her ;or her name, and she wrote it upon aslip of paper, which is now lost. The name was Mrs. Manning, but the address I cannot recollect. She spoke first of all of buying Bank Stock, and when I observed that a widow or a spinster could purchase it, but that a married lady could not, she said she wished some stock which she could sell unknown to her husband, and without anj , control. This excited my suspicion. She said she RI ould call again, but I did not see Ler afterwards. By Mr. Solor eons—l think it was about the let of August ; it mig ht have been a day or so before or after; I made n•o memorandum of her visit By Mr. Bodk in—Mr. O'Connor never told me that he would send any one to me with respect to the purchase of shams. I vrent to the g.ol th,s wurr,inb and picked out a person among twenty others; the male prisoner is the person Iso picked out. I took him to the station of the Southampton Railway about a quarter before eight in the morning, and he had with him a small box and a carpet-bag. Cross-examined by Mr. Binns—The male prisoner resembles the person I took up very much. I can't say how many fares I had that day, or the day before; I had as many as I could get.—(Laughter.) Are you a keen observer of the passengers you carry ?—I dare say I should know you again if I saw you.—(Laughter.) (The male prisoner was here observed to laugh.) I went round by Tooley street, which was a quarter of a mile out of my way. Mr. Bodkin, at the conclusion of this evidence, said —I do not intend to proceed further to-day, and perhaps the solicitors fur the prisoners will consider this the most convenient period for an adjournment. Mr. Solonaons said he was willing to consent to any arrangement which was approved of by the magis trate. Mr. Bodkin said—lf, then, on the next day we meet here any fresh evidence is gone into due inti mation of that intention will be given to you, and in the event of your not receiving any notice to that effect, consider th a t th e reman d o f t h e prisonerswi 7Y ba a mer e f orma l one, and that they will be further remanded. you Mr. SECIKER then said that he would remand the prisoners until to-morrow (Saturday) week. Mr. Binns said there were some things of a trifling nature in the carpet bag that was taken from the male prisoner at Jersey, which he hoped would be given up to him. Mr. SECK Eli intimated that any article of dress, or of ordinary use, which was required by the prisoner, would be given up to him by the Governor of the goal. The passages leading to the goaler's room were then cleared, and the prisoners were taken out of the court, and before the lapse of many minutes, were placed in the van and conveyed to ilorsemonger lane Gaol. The female prisoner was provided with a seal during a considerable portion of the examination. TATTERSALL'S—THIS EVENING Six o'CLocx. ST.

A. letter from Arad, addressed to one of the Vienna journals, states that, after giving up the Dictatorship to Georgey, Kossuth enrolled himself as a simple soldier in the artillery, and actually served during the few days which preceded the capitulation at Vil lagos. We learn from Vienna (says the Independance of Brussels), under date of the Ist, that General Georgey has received a pardon from the Emperor of Austria, and that he has already proceeded to Styria, where it is supposed he intends to reside. Nothing had been settled with respect to the other Generals who had surrendered. The Bucharest Gazette says, that on the 18th, twenty persons pretending to be Hungarian merchants presented themselves to the Turkish troops at Wert scherown, in Wallachia, but that they were ascer tained to be officers in disguise. Among them, it is said, were Dembinski and Messaros. It is added that the next day Kossuth and Perczel gave themselves up They would, it was said, be sent to the fortress of Widdin. The 331 Russian bulletin, published at Warsaw, stales the 5,000 Magyars of the corps of Bern, who laid down their arms near Deva , were with 42 guns and 40 ammunition waggons sent to Carlsburg. The corps of Gen.Vecsey which surrendered consisted of 26 staff officers, 479 officers, and 7,443 non-com missioned officers and privates. Considerable excitement prevails at Vienna in refe rence to the Hungarian bank bills. The Austrian Go vernment, at the commencement of the last campaign, declared the Hungarian Government bank bills null and useless. Field-Marshal Haynau has caused these bills to be burnt wherever Austrian troops have halted. Severe penalties have been imposed on those who shall secret these bank bills. The commander of the Rus sian troops, on the contrary, it is affirmed, has de clared these bills available, and that they are received by the Russian officers. This intelligence, which has arrived at Vienna from different parts of Hungary, has produced an impression in th a t c ity w hi c h it i s no t easy to describe. According to a letter in the -Lloyd, it has been re ported in Pesth for some days past, that a sort of diplomatic negotiation has been entered upon between the Russian generals and the leaders of the Hunga rian insurrection, to induce 'the latter to submit Concessions on the part of the pacified co un t r y ere spoken of, for which the Russians have engaged themselves to be responsible to the Austrian Govern ment. It is possible that the entire or p ar ti a l nego ti at i on of the Hungarian bank bills may form part of the concessions. pßussiiii.. The Committee of the Secottd Chamber, to whom the documents relating to the G erman question were referred, has proposed the following resolution : " After due examination of the documents and propo positions relative to the German, 'question communicated in the name of hia Majisty's Government by the royal Commissioner thereunto appointed, the Se cond Chamber announces its co nsent to the alliance concluded between the King's Government, on the 26th of May, and those of :Hanover and Saxony. It hereby declares itself pr , Tared to support the Government in the mer,scrEs it ha i adopted in regard to the German question, through the medium of this alliance. It further recognises tilz application of the 111th section of the constitution off the sth of December to the constitution wh'ch may 'De elaborated by the Chamber of the Federal State to . be convoked in virtue cf the alliance."

The journals w rich have announced that everything is concluded and agreed upon are ill-informed on the subject. Yegotiations are stilt pending, but nothing is yet decided on. Seve ral projects appear to have eras sed each other from Berlin to Vienna an to Munich. Austria and Bavaria, at tip commencement of the collie rences, appear to have proposed a college of Princes. cio mposed either of two members, the one for Prussia, the other for Austria, and representing in their persons —gibe former the voice off the the h south ; aes of the north, nd the latter tho s e o ; or of three mee ibets, one of whom should be a Prince of the house of Wittelsbach. But this proposition of the uhr a-royalist courts was but little relished at Sans- Sou ci. If this project had been admitted, the Arclici uke John, whom the Cabinet of Vienna bad particularly favoured, would probably have formed part of the College of Princes. What there is the greatest cb .atics of being now done is the formation of a Central Provisional Commission, in which a Prussian. Minister Plenipoten tiary will represent the whole klideral State, and an Austrian Minister Plenipotentiary the rest of Germany. With regard to the simultaneous presence at Frank. fort of the Prince of Prussia and the Archduke John, it has no direct connexion with the establish ment of the Central Commission. Austria, in main taining the Archduke, and in making him again appear on the stage, continues that pour y which consists in supporting her eventual participation in the Constitution of Germany. As for the Prince of Prussia, he was obliged to fix his head-quarters is the neighbourhood of the cantonments of his corps d'arini"e. If the interest of Prussia to neutralise the influence .of Austria apparently , coincides with the movements of ou r troops, this circum stance, perhaps fortuitous, cannot throw any obstacle in the way of a combination long since decided on, and independent of German aff.iira pr op erly so called.

BIRLIt.INGITATI MUSICAL were u e e.i.cd at to. vial olcaala in the course of aU hour tile galleries and floor were well fil e in every part, by a most fashionable pany, the attendance being such greater til 3 ; on the previous evening. The perforena nc t more than realised the expectations of the ta ° l sanguine, and whether in point of financial or I nusit l o results, it proved unquestionably the mo st attrac,,t i b % and successful event of the prese n t f es tival. J ule selection was most varied, and i n it se lf admira",: e The most striking and effective p er f orma nce of ' d , night most unquestionably was, " 0 lute di V e il ', Anima," by Madame Sontag, whi c h cer t a i n ly wa' t e e perfection of a'l that was exqui s it e i n t one and IS C '' ; in execution. The encore with which she was la ° 4 vociferously greeted called forth a repetition of 13 '. matchless performance of Rhode's air and variatic7 in which she excelled herself in any pr e vious e ff° , r o f On leaving the orchestra she retir e d am id s t a vy the most unbounded enthusiasm, to which she .W , O evidently not insensible. The s cene , "B e fore Ip i 'a eyes beheld her," from Der Freischutz, was read m er i e o with exquisite taste and admirable pathos, by t he Catherine Hayes. The length of the verse an d her prompt retirement of Miss Hayes, a l one saved ee from an encore, in which the applause of the audi e t .', e r would otherwise have, no doubt, terminated. A all, it was, as usual, reserved for the great p rodu ct of the immortal Handel to crowd th e t o wn, a"u da ii the majestic Hall to overflowing. The lil es— r • having been announced for this morning to be r o t formed by such a splendid arra y o f t a l e nt as t o announced in tire programme, which certainly never been excelled, could not hill to produce a n ° 6 l rous audience. For several days past all the resefro, seats were secured, and such was the anxiety to Pbs cure admission, that although the doors were not W ee open till 10 o'clock, nor the perfor mance to comra e ; before 11, the crowds had assembled at the doors , e s remained with the utmost patience until they admitted. A more splendid array of rank, fashion' r if beauty was never before assembled in the hall. N eg g r , ' all the noblemen in th e di s t r i c t were prese nt, '„% e i rounded by their famili es , an d a ll th e c i vic au thor , " • of the borough. It was imp oss ibl e t o procure el'eljr standing place in any part of the hall before the P e il formance commenced, and it has been consideredo the committee how far they might not enhanc e d ) funds of the charity by a rep e titi on o f th e 1 1 -i es ife,l on Saturday morning. Notwithstanding the e, Dis already achieved by M. Costa, his fame must eve r ro , associated with the grand choral resu lt s o f this °J e d ing ; and it is very questionabl e w h e th e r, rega l as a whole, the oratorio has been produced in th' s , c ir any other country, in a more p er f ec t .an d uniar e ar able manner. The vari ous so li w i t h which bf readers are all perfectly f am ili ar were s ustaine"ies Madame Sontag, M a d ame C aste ll an, Mi ss Cet he ; f es H , ayes, and . Miss A. Willi ams , M r .

The 5s of remark is in some degree applicable to his readl c li the celebrated air, "Thou sh a ll d as h th e m ! " in ° no r' he was comparatively ineffective. From his aPr„ re ante one would be led to b e li eve h e h a d n ot qu''b r ,cl covered from the indisposition under which b e d been previously labouring.

In the g o so air, " The trumpet shall sound," which dePe r ', s !of much for its popular s u cc ess on th e t rum pet o%l' l ol Pisch-k is entitled to the sole praise. Mt.

In bh, o fsli " Why do the Nations," he was e m i nen tly suc ce , es l l 9 and his pathos in "But who may a bide, ws', admirable. It must, howe ve r, b e a d m itted t''' o ro greatest vocal appliances of the present festival eO3, expended in the soprani soli, which were of Woe! tive excellence. Madame Sontag showed great f, g oa and exquisite taste in the air " Rejoice greatly ; Pi in the second part of the air " Ile shall, fee flock," commencing with "Come unto him,' s he tee , cited an encore from the Noble President, t o utmost satisfaction of the audience. In the recit!ofil " There were shepherds," and id To the angel' to, "The angel said unto them," Miss C. Haye s 101 duced considerable effect.by her very artistic r e ! of, of her subject ; and in the air, " I k now that of Redeemer liveth," she evinced a nice app re ciati ° ;to her author, and infused an int ens ity a emotion l ," n o, the interpretation of this exquisit e composi t , l- 5 1 After Sontag, she unquestion a bly b ore t 'llo the palm of superiority. M a d ame Casi'sJt was extremely happy in her version of 10 thou didst not leave his soul in hell"--it fact, an exquisite performance; and Miss A. 00,i liams was thoroughly appreciated in How b e ijise ful." The five contralto songs were atsignedn bar M. Williams, who in a great measure tasti ue „ g lilf, selection for the onerous part.
