Neither the vicinity of the court, nor the interior of it, was crowded so much as it was yesterda3 ; and, altogether less excitement and bustle prevailed. The van arrived with the prisoners about ten mi nutes before eleven o'clock, the ftmile alightirg first, and the male afterwards ; and they were kept in the gaolers'-room nearly a quarter of an hour before they were brought into court. The Lord Mayor sat on the right of Mr. Seeker, and in the space surrounding the magistrate's desk, several clergymen and other gentlemen were accom tnodated with seats. A considerable number of ladies were also among the auditory, some of whom however, had provided themselves with opera glasses, which, owing to the smallness of the court were entirsly unnecessary. The female prisoner was first brought in, and the male prisoner immediately after wa rds, and they were placed in the same positio , that they occupied yesterday at each end of the dock. A considerable change was observed in the appearance of Manning, who looked ill and very pale. Mr. Edwin, addressing him, said—lt is understood You are not well, you may sit down in a chair. The prisoner said, " Yes, I am very unwell," and immediately took a seat to to the right of his solicitor, M r Binns, whose movements in taking notes of the evidence he closely watched. Mrs. Manning, on entering the court, looked as I f she had been crying, but she soon regained her fer nier appearance. She stood during the whole morn ing, leaning lightly upon the dock, and kept her veil up. Mr. Bodkin, shortly after entering the court, rose and said—l now beg to state that I have considered t he application which I understand was made on the Part of one of the prisoners, with the assent of the ot her, that this matter should not be tried at the next session of the Central Criminal Court, on the ground that there will not be time enough for those engaged in the arduous task of defending the prisoners to make t he necessary preparations. .1 have given to this a pplication the best consideration, and on the whole I am not disposed to ofier any opposition to the course Which has been suggested ; and it will now be under stood that such a remand as the law permits will be al:We, so as to go over the next session of the Central Criminal Court. Richard Walsh, called and examined by Mr. Bod kin, said —He was in the service of Mr. Wells, a builder, whose place of business, in Russell-street, Be rmondsey, is about four or five minutes' walk from Alinver-place. About the end of July, the 23d he t hought, a man came and ordered a bushel of lime. Look round the court and see if you can recognise th e man. —That (pointing to Manning) is the man, the prisoner at the bar. Heard him tell Miss Wells, ltll ° is out of town, that he was to take the lime to his Sa w house. He took it to Minver-place on the 25th. I) " the prisoner there, and shot it in the t a ck kitchen, by his direction, into another L a . tk et, which the prisoner pointed out to . 114 . He did not give him anything. No conversa tion passed between us. Mrs. Manning gave him 4tnething on the day following. He did not see 2 3) °dy but Manning when he took the lime. He C ot the next day, because Manning had promised the something for himself. Mrs. Manning opened 6clo or, and gave him Ild- Had no further conver sation with the prisoner. u ' la GssTitaTE—Did Manning tell you to come at a Partic ular time ?—H e did no t. 1 ,", ,6 5' Mr. S o l omons —M rs.

The door W as not opened far- B y Mr. Bodkin—The woman was tall, but did not take particular notice of her. She was not so tall as Manning. William Cahill, in the service of Mr. Langley, Ironmonger, of 46, Tooley- street, deposed as follows, e xamined by Mr. Bodkin :—He sold shovels ; his place business is about a quarter of a mile from Minver- Place. Sold a shovel to a female on Wednesday, the B th of August.. Had since seen the female. Who was she ?—Mrs. Manning. 1) 0 you mean the prisoner, standing there ?—I do.

Suppose that were five inches longer, might the wcunds on the body of Mr. :'Connor have been inflicted by such a❑ instrument ? —They might probably have been inflicted by such an instrument. The thin part could not have produced the incised wound. [The shovel was handed - to him.] The witness said it was not now in a state in which he could pronounce an opinion. Did you find any hair upon it ?—I found one hair, but I think it was too long to have belonged to a man. Mr. Thomas Adams, pawnbroker, of 171 and 172, Bermondsey•street, was next examined —Does not know either Mr. or Mrs. Manning. Saw them in court yesterday, but could not recognise them. Mr. Charles Bainbridge, broker, of 14, Bermondsey square, deposed that he knew the prisoners. Had known them for about two months. The witness spoke to Manning callingupon him about the sale of the furniture in his house, 3, Minver place, and its purchase by him ; also to the conver sation with respect to lending money on Mr. Massey's medical certificate, and on the Monday after the murder that he bad started his wife off to the country. He had a bottle of brandy with him, and slept at his house that night, having previously taken a lodging with him. He said he wished the goods which he had bought to be removed to his (witness's) the next morning at five o'clock. Said it would look bad as be had paid the rent. (He had showed him the receipt.) There were fifteen pieces of unbleached linen, and some other articles not in cluded amongst those he had bought. Manning asked him to take care of them until he came back from the country, whither he was going for three months. He went on the Wednesday to take pos session of them, when he found the house in the possession of the police. The shovel produced was amongst the things he bought. Cross-examined by Mr. Bodkin—There was ano ther shovel amongst them, it was not broken; he had it at home. By Mr. Bodkin—The other shovel belonged to a set of fire irons. There were'two or three hundred weight of coals in the cellar. By Mr. Solomons—The shovel was used at hi s house before it was given up to the police. (Mrs. Manning here took off her visite, which is a very heavy, thick one. This exposed the shape of her figure, which is very good. We may remark that she wears a large bustle.) Mrs. Bainbridge deposed that among the things left with her husband were some female dresses, stockings, &c. One of them had been washed, ap parently, and scorched in one place, and put away wet, for it was mildewed. Manning went away on the Wednesday in a cab, and she had never seen him since. Before that day he said he was going sea bathing. She said to him " When shall I have the pleasure of seeing you again?" He said in about two months. He said his wife had left her a satin dress and some other articles in the house, which she found was the case. (The dress, a striped cotton one, was produced. It appeared to have been stained or scorched in two or three places in the lower part of the front. There were some faint stains on the lining close to one of the sleeves.) It seemed to have been altogether washed. William Kirk, the cabman who drove Mrs. Man ning to the station of the South-Eastern Railway, where the boxes with the cards were left, repeated his previous testimony, and identified Mrs. Manning. [The examination was proceeding when our re port left.] THE POISON SHOP. (From Punch.) SCENE.—The shop of Mr. Upas, chymist and druggist. Bottles, his assistant, behind the counter. Enter Widow Woman, with infant in arms, seemingly in grEat distress. Widow (much agitated)—Threepenn'orth of Lau danum, please, Sir. Bottles Laudanum, Ma'am ; yes, Ma'am—Six penn'orth, I think you said, Ma'am. Widow (sighing)—Threepenn'orth. Threepence is all I have in the world! Bottles—Sorry for it, Ma'am. (Serves her.) [Exit Widow frantically.] Enter ragged Little Girl, and several other persons of squalid, wretched, and sinister appearance. Bottles—Now then, little girl, what's for you? Girl—Mother says, please will you let her have as much Arsenic as you can for twopence-halfpenny to kill rats. Bottles—Rats, eh? Father belong to a burial club? Girl—Yes Sir, please, Sir. Bottles—So I thought. (Delivers the Arsenic.) LExit Little Girl.] Now Sir, what can Ido for you (to a Stranger with his face muffled and his hat over his eyes)? Stranger—Thank'ee; I'll wait. Bottles (to several customers)—You for Arsenic?— you?—you?—all of you Arsenic? Six Arsenics; and you?—oh I one Corrosive Sublimate. (Serves them out packets ready made up.) [Exeunt with the poison.] Stranger (having watched them all out)—l want some of the strongest poison you have got. Bottles—Well, Sir, I think prussic acid will suit you better than any. Stranger—That smells, don't it. Bottles—Why yes, Sir. Probably strychnine would answer your purpose? Stranger-1s that pretty stiffish? Bottles—(smiling)—Oh 1 yes, Sir. I should be sorry to take two grains of it. Stranger—Let's have have half an ounce. Bottles—Half an ounce, Sir? (Weighs it out.) What is the next article, Sir? Stranger—Nothing. Bottles—Allow me to tempt you with a little bella donna; very killing, Sir, I assure you. Or would you try our digitalis? I could recommend our colchicum, Sir. Stranger—No, nol Bottles—Or anything in the vitriol way, Sir? Stranger (with an oath)—No, I 'tell you.' The strychnine will do the job. Hand it over, will you, and make haste. Bottles—Directly, Sir. (Folds and presents the packet.) Thank you, Sir. (Takes the money and sweeps in into the till. Exit Stranger.) Ha! a pretty good morning's work; and if, the undertakers don't get a job or two out of it—and perhaps Jack Ketch too—l shall be astonished rayther. (Exit.) LOSS OF THE WOLVERHAMPTON MAIL.RAGIS.—On Wednesday night last, the mail-bags from Wolverhamp ton, Bilston, &c., were lost in transitu, under the follow ing circumstances:—lt appears that Mr. W. Fairburn, tiairdres,er, of Wednesbury, is the contractor for the conveyance of the mail-bags, which are carried by a small pony cart, and that he has been in the habit of employing occasionally a man named John Clarke to drive the mail for him. On Wednesday night Clarke 4 as employed to drive the mail, and received the bags at Wolverhampton, Bilston, and Wednesbury, as usual. On his arrival at West Bromwich, the postmaster, on coming out to receive the bags, perceived the flap of the cart down, and it was then discovered that the whole of the mail-bags were missing. The matter became auspicious from the answer given by Clarke on his return to Wed nesbury, " that the bags were all right," when he at the same time knew that he had lost them. and he was given into custody. The police at Wolverhampton were apprised of the loss, and Colonel Hogg lost no time. in MDIt lug inquiries i n th e district through which the;mail cart passed. Inspector M'Crea searched Clarke's house, as it was fully expected he had been concerned in rob bing the mail, but nothing could be found to confirm such a suspicion. Ultimately the West Bromwich bag was picked up by a woman near Moxley, and the others were found between the latter place and Bilston, by a man who was passing, and have since been re stored. Clarke, of course, was set at liberty. There is nothing lost from the bags.— Wofverhampion Chro nicle. MONUMENT TO THE LATE SIR GEINIGII G1P113.--A marble monument, by Weekes, to the memory of the late Sir George Gipps, Governor-General of New South Wales, is now i n p rocess of erection on the south aide of the nave of Canterbury Cathedral. The bust, which was exhibited in the Royal Acadian3y this season, was pronounced by the fri e nd s o f the deceased to be , an admirable likeness; the drapery is ample and gracefully disposed, and the expression of the countenance exceed ingly dignified. As a work of art it is a valuable acqui sition to the monumental stores of our venerable cathe dral.—Kentish Observer. GLASGOW. — LAuNcH.—Yesterday afternoon (Tues day) a beautiful iron steamer was launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Tod and M‘Gregor. The launch was effected in capital style, and as she gracefully glided into her future element, she was named the Llay, by Miss M'Ewan ' daughter of William M'Ewan, E sq ., Islay, between which island and Glasgow she is intended to ply. Her weight is 300 tons, and her dimensions are as follows :—Lebgth of keel, 155 feet; breadth of beam, 21 feet 6 inches; depth of hold, 11 feet. Her engines will be 160-horse power. She was subsequently moored alongside of Messrs. Tod and M`Gregor's wharf, where she will receive her engines. A number of ladies and gentlemen then proceeded on board, and pledged several flowing bumpers to the Islay's success, at the same time passing mutual congratulations on the auspicious circum stances which had attended the day's proceedings. — North British Mail. The crime of horse-stealing has become exceedingly prevaltnt in the coanty of Wes►moreland, several of the farmers there having lost their hest nags since last March. A " GOLDEN Dox."—Mr. George Mathew, weaver, Millstairs, Brechin, while picking the potatoes from a shaw in his garden last week, found a glittering piece of metal, which, on being rubbed up, has been found to be a gold Scottish coin of the reign of James VI., date 1599, and in an excellent state of preservation. Bodies and other old copper cuins of Scotland are fre quently found in the same locality —one that we have in our possession bearing the date 1555.—Dundee Courier.

If the picture of serfdom in Austrian-Gallicia as it is drawn in the " Modern Vassal," contained in the present number of Tait, be true—if the Polish nobles bear the remotest resemblance to Count Stanoiki and his son Casimir, then we are not in the least surprised at the failure of the outbreak of 1845, or at the massacres of the nobles by the serfs. The nobles should have come into court with clean hands, and have commenced their movement by giving to others that which they claimed for themselves—liberty. Any Polish movement to deserve success should begin by a general emancipation of the • serfs. The " Modern Vassal" is to be concluded in the next number. Tait this month is rich in tales of travel. The most interesting of these is " There and Back Again," a sentim en t a l j ou rney, by James Augustus St. John. In the present portion of his narrative Mr. St. John takes us over the Simplon to Milan, and thence through Lombardy into Piedmont. He is the most delightful of travelling companions, tells a piquant anecdote with the most exquisite point in the world, and dashes off a sketch of society with the ease and spirit of a Balzac. As a specimen of his descriptive powers, take the following picture of the passage of the Simplon before sunrise : " Never shun forget that morning. Far in the dis tance behind us the summits of the Bernese Alps, blanched with snow, pierced the sky, while the bright moonlight se( med to repose with pleasure on their cold, glittering peaks. Towards the south-west the sight plunged down a series of deep valleys, partly lighted up by the moon, partly enveloped in shadow, while one solitary lamp from some window, perhaps in Brigg, sparkled like a star among the rocks below. Scattered masses of white, silvery vapour hovered over the distant valleys and lowlands far beneath, and looked like a broken floor, through which the moon's rays penetrated to the earth. Close by the road, chasms, which in the moonlight appeared of prodigious depth, wound along, while rapid torrents, whose white foam was once or twice visible between the dark pines, brawled and roared at the bottom. Here and there, vast conical mountains sprang up from these abysses, and their white heads, clothed with preternatural beauty by the moonlight, at once astonished and delighted the imagination. The stars shone with amazing brightness, and the constella tion of the Great Bear, in particular, seemed to have a brilliance and beauty I bad never observed before. But the exquiste beauty of the dawn surpassed everything. The snow-sprinkled peaks of the Alps now seemed to become transparent; while starlight, moonlight, and the pale yellow metallic brilliance of the sky, flushed with the first approaches of the dawn, diffused over every rock, and glen, and stream, and forest, and glacier, a wild, sparkling, mysterious, unearthly beauty, which electrified the very soul. I see lam repeating the same terms again and again; but language, with all its plastic power, is insufficient to render with fidelity the nume rous exquisite emotions which at such times crowd upon the mind. I was certainly for a time literally wrapt, inspired.' Heaven appeared to touch earth, and Poetry sat enthroned upon the mountains." But it is not alone amusement that may be found in the perusal of this new sentimental journey ; the conversations of the various travellers are replete not with wit only, but with wisdom. What can be more just than the following criticism on Machiavelli:— " Machiavelli,' he replied,' was essentially a revolu tionary writer; he despised all the established govern ments of his time, and laboured earnestly to subvert them by propagating those principles of expediency which render men indifferent respecting the means they employ to accomplish their ends; he esteemed liberty the greatest good that men can enjoy, and thought them justified in wading to it through seas of blood. The princes and rulers of his time set no value on human life, which they sacrificed in all ways to gratify their most despicable caprices. He therefore counselled the people to follow their example, and laboured all his lite to undermine the sentiment of respect for greatness which is one of the most fatal weaknesses incident to human nature. To dissipate this feeling, he dwells on the crimes and follies of kings and princes, and seeks to overwhelm them beneath a load of contempt. Nd man can rise from the perusal of Machiavelli with the same sentiment of loyalty with which he commenced it, His attack is conducted in the most insidious manner, for he often praises what he wishes you to hate; but is careful that his praise should be calculated to provoke your detestation.' should 'that b o e f k s n o o g w r n e . a , t a " Strange,' interposed Carlotta , man's life so little, consfarativelY, " Signora,' replied Gistroci, the lives of the greatest men the world has ever produced have been obscure, like his. We see the effects their genius produced, but are unable to measure the productive force; just as, in our own country, we beholds mountain thrown up into the air by volcanic agency, but never perceive the power at work."' What may be the length of the journey which Mr. St. John contemplates we know not, but if he goes on as he has begun the longer it is the better. Among the works of imagination in the present number ot, Tait there is one which is quite a literary curiosity ; it is entitled " Tarass Boulba," and it a translation from the Russian of Nicolas Gogol of a tale illus trating the manners of the Zaporog Cossacks. Under the title " The Hungarian and European Wars,' Tait gives a resume of the history of the last eighteen months, which he thus concludes :—" This is the wretched end of an eighteen months' struggle for freedom, and the game might have been better; played." Undoubtedly it might, but the end has not arrived yet. "If it was na wed bobbit we'll bob it' again." THE HISTORY OF PENDENNIS. No. XL: By W. M. Thackeray. Pendennis is now regularly engaged on the " Pall Mall Gazette," and the present number of his history is replete with piquant sketches of the purveyors of. periodical literature of every grade. The description of the grand dinner given by Bungay, the publisher,, to the contributors to the " Pall Mall Gazette," of which he is proprietor and publisher, is one of the best. pictures of society that Mr. Thackeray has yet given us, but it is unfortunately too long to extract. The following could have been written only by one who, had himself been behind the scenes:— "Considerable success at first attended the new journal. It was generally stated, that an influential political party supported the paper; and grea t names were c i te d amongs t the contributors to its columns, Was there any founds-' tion for these rumours? We are not at liberty to say whether they were well or ill founded; but this much we may divulge, that an article upon foreign policy, which was generally attributed to a Noble Lord, whose con nexion with the Foreign-office is very well known, was in reality composed by Captain Shandon, in the parlour of the Bear and Staff public-house near Whitehall stairs, whither the printer's boy had tracked him, and where a literary ally of his, Mr. Bludyer, had a teqa-1 porary residence; and that a series of pilfers On finance questions, which were universally supposed to be written' by a great Statesman of the House of Commons, were . in reality composed by Mr. G eorge W a r r i ng ton of the' Upper Temple. That there may have been some deal- , ings between the Pall Mall Gazette' and this influential , party, is very possible. Percy Popjoy .(whose father, Lord Falconet, was a member of the party) might be seen not unfrequently ascending the stairs to Warring ton's chambers ; and some information appeared iu the paper which gave it a character, and could only be got from very peculiar sources. Several poems, feeble in thought, but loud and vigorous in expression, appeared in the Pall Mall Gazette,' with the signature of P. P.'; and it must be owned that his novel was praised in the new journal in a very outrageous manner." HOME. BY THE REV. JoRN YOUNG. (From Eliza Cook's Journal) " Our home is not where we are, but where we wish to be.”—DIAMOND DUST. 'Tis Home where the heart is, wherever that be, In city, in desert, on mountain, in dell ; Not the grandeur, the number, the objects we see, But that which we love is the magical spell. 'Tis this gives the cottage a charm and a grace, Which the glare of a palace but rarely has known; It is this, only this, and not station or place, Which gives being to pleasure, which make s it our own. Like the dove on the waters, a rest - place to find, In vain for enjoyment o'er nations we roam; Home only can yield real joy to the mind, And there where the heart is , there only is home, COURT CIRCULAR.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MISS HOXIIIOUSE..--We regret to state that the above young lady died yesterday, at Erlestoke Park, the seat of Sir John Ilobhouse, alter a very short illness.

HERALD—When the French Revolution of July, 1830, took place, now 19 years and one month ago, many over-sanguine persons supposed that the new Monarch of France, who had lived a great portion of his life out of his own country, and who had sojourned for many years in England and America, would see the propriety and fitness of abolishing the execrable passport system. But though the Duke of Orleans, subsequently King of the French, must ha ve b een well of the folly and and futility,of the passport system—though he must have been aware how much it interfered with the busi ness avocations, the pleasures, and the free power of locomotion, of Frenchmen and foreigners—though he must have known how little security it afforded to the honest and well-intententioned—and how little calcu lated it was to put a bit or a bridle into the mouths of knaves—yet for 18 years he and his various Ministers suffered the execrable, the lying, the fraudulent, and the exacting system to continue, to the shame and disgrace of France, and to the spoliation and an noyance, not alone of natives, but of all foreigners of all nations. Such a system of fraud—such a means of rising money—such a despotic interference with the liberty of the subject, was well worthy of that Government which raised the budget which in 1829 was fixed for 1830 by the Government of Charles X. at 972 millions of francs, to one millard and a half. The time for delusion, for deceit, and for tric kery, is now past, and it is due to history and to truth to declare that never was there so reckless, so profligate, and expensive a Government in France as that of the ex- King Louis Philippe the First. At the commencement of the present century, and in the most glorious epoch of the Consulate, a budget of 500 millions sufficed. In 1807, in a period of five years, those 500 millions increased only to 720—in 1810 they had risen to 795 millions— and in 1814 and 1815, with all the expenses of a restora tion, of a restored nobility, and of indemnised emigrants, the budget was only 884 millions. In 1822, the year before the expedition of the Duke of Augouleme into Spain, it was 912 millions; and in 1829, the -last year of the restoration, it was 972 millions. The revolution of 1830, however—called the best of republics—namely, a monarchy surrounded by republican institutions—greatly increased the public burdens. The lowest budget of the Government of July was that of 1835, which amounted to one milliard twenty-one millions. In the twelve years from 1835 to 1847 the budget of the fallen Government presented a scale of continued and progressive elevation, till at length it attained, as we have already stated, the enormous figure of more than a milliard and a half. The disproportion between income and expenditure—not withstanding all the legerdemain tricks of French finan ciers—must have ended in bankruptcy by 1850, had not bankruptcy been anticipated by a revolution in 1848. Bad, however, as the financial condition of France was, public liberty suffered in a greater degree at the hands of the best of republics: In 1827, 1828, and 1829, though passports existed in France, yet, except in gar rison and frontier towns, they were rarely demanded, and foreigners were under no obligation to take a passe provisoire. But, no sooner had the " best of re publics " been installed in 1830, than this system was altogether changed. Vises and examinations greatly multiplied, and every foreigner was obliged on landing to take a passe provisoire at an expense of two francs. For very many years, we entertain no manner of doubt, that the yearly tribute derived from the English alone, in this respect, amounted to an annual sum of eighty thousand pounds or more, making, from the period of the accession of Louis Philippe down to February, 1848, a sum, in round numbers, amounting to about 1,500,0001. What became of this money, or how it was applied, we have no means of informing our readers. But this we will say, that a more unjust or more iniquitous spoliation was never committed by one civilised government upon the subjects of another than the exaction of this money in detail. The pecuniary sacrifice and expenditure, however, was by no means the worst feature of the transaction. Most of the per sons who travel abroad are persons in the better classes of life, in very easy circumstances, to whom a sum of one shilling and eight . pence is of no manner of moment. The pecuniary tax, though a most unjust one, was not, therefore, half so much felt as the unwarrantable inter ference with one's personal liberty. An Englishman, whether of the highest or of the lowest rank, always felt himself degraded by this passport system. He was obliged to attend himself, or to send a commissioner from his hotel, at the bureau de police of the frontier town at which he landed, and there his signaiment, or per sonal description, was entered dowa in a book, and re gistered on the passe provisoire which he obtained. This signalment, meant for the protection of himself and others, was in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred grossly incorrect. We have seen passports by hundreds, in which men with blue eyes were described as men with grey, in which men with brown hair were de scribed as black haired, and in which men and women of fair complexions were described as basanes, or tawny. We have seen passports in which women of sixty were de scribed as thirty and thirty-five, and men of seventy-two and seventy-five as forty-eight, and fifty. If the system were goad for anything-;-which it plainly is not—it should have been strictly and correctly enforced by a proper and trustworthy description; whereas, not in one instance in 20,000 was the description given of Englishmen, or any other foreigners, in the faintest de gree correct, or even approaching to correctness. Nor was the system more exact in reference to French men or French women. We have seen French men with long faces described in the passport as " visage ovule," and French women with long sharp chins described as menton rend. The system, though so vexatious, mi nute, and exacting, afforded no security what ever. So notorious and well-known a personage as the Duchess of Berry, at a period when her capture would have been of the highest importance, traversed France from one end to the other without recognition or discovery; and Don Carlos, a personage equally well known, made his escape from London to Spain, though the French police and all the prefects and gensdarmes of the kingdom were on the alert. A more striking in stance, however, is afforded in the case of the present President of the French Republic, M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, who, though well known in that part of the country, escaped from the fortress of Ham, in Picardy, with a false passport, and arrived safely in London. How a man who availed himself of a false passport to deceive the police and gensdarmes, and who succeeded in deceiv ing them, can allow so worthless and vexatious a system to continue, we cannotimagine. The whole thing, from be ginning to end, is a delusion and a mockery, affording no one real advantage, harassing the honest and well-intentioned, and too often misleading the officers of justice in pursuit of criminals. Chateaubriand, in his most interesting memoirs just published, tells us, that when proscribed as an emigrant he lived during the Consulate in Paris for many months as a Swiss, with a passport under the name of Lassaing; and we have ourselves known three Minis ters of Charles X. and one Ambassador (two of the gen tle-men are still alive) who lived in Paris for months under false names and with false passports when a price was upon their heads. To suppose that the passport system favours the detection of criminals and aids the French police in scenting them out is the greatest of all delusions. There is not a bagne in France, from Brest to Toulon, in which there is not a regular fabric of false passports—nor a' large town in which a criminal cannot find a passport and a disguise for a very small sum. The escape of so many criminals—political and social—during the last 18 months under a pass• port system affords the best evidence of the utter worthlessness of that system. Political criminals have always been more vigorously hunted down in France than murderers or forgerers ; yet within a few months see how Caussidiere, Louis Blanc, Ledru Rollin, Boichot, Demontry, Felix Pyat, and so many hundreds of others, have escaped. Compare this system with our own, in which, without passports, Manning and his wife, Tawell, and the murderer of Mrs. Henrichson at Liverpool, are apprehended almost instantaneously, and there can be no question as to which is the more efficient and prefer able, on every public, private, and social ground. At the present season, when so many English are leaving London, many of whom land at Boulogne, Dieppe, Calais, and Havre, the discussion of such topics is ex tremely opportune. English interests at Paris ought surely to be represented by the only English journal in that capital, Galignani, and we could wish to see that paper directing the attention of the French Govern ment to a grievance which must, more or less, affect every one of its subscribers. ADVERTISER.—The slaveholdera of the United States appear to have great expectations in reference to chat California, expectations which ;n i c f h r a e s ali t s h e e dt m w o i s l t l fiendish intoa scene spirits in this or any inferior world must contemplate a with ineffable delight. They have discovered that slave labour will be very profitable in that country, " parti eularly so since the discovery of the gold mines." Their unbiassed judgment, after due consideration of the whole subject, leads them to the conclusion that " no labour can be so well adapted for mining purposes as slave labour;" and they are quite satisfied that the people of California will soon ascertain this fact to a demonstra tion, and, as the result, insist on the introduction of slaves into that country. Of course it will create no surprise in the mind of any one, that there should be found in our day, as there have been in former times, men so completely under the influence of selfish prin ciples, as to be morally incapable of perceiving the iai quity of anything by which their lust of gain may be gratified. If these men, who have accustomed them selves to regard one portion of the human family as essentially inferior to themselves, and created for the purpose of occupying a place scarcely superior to that of beasts of burden, should now discover 'that Africans were created expresfly to fill the pockets, and augment the happiness of southern men, the discovery would be just such as we should expect them to make, and every way worthy of the men by whom it might be made. It would; however, then remain a question, in the solution of which we should take a deep interest, bow far these men are under the control of public opi nion throughout the world, and we should be concarned to ascertain whether or not there is power in the Northern States of America, in Great Britain, or in other non-slave-holding countries, to prevent these mon sters in human shape sporting with the feelings of hu manity, and re-enacting the worst deeds that have blackened the annals of man's history. It is somewhat amusing to observe the manner in which the slave - hoiding Americans deprecate all interfence, •n the part of Congress, with their assumed "right" to do wrong to the slaves whom they are anxious to carry into Cali fornia. "For the Congress to interfere with that right to introdue them would ba not onlyp uncons tit u tional, but grossly oppressive and unjust. ' How strange — that men whose occupation is to trample on i the ms rights of human nature, and grind their sensevcti of in the dust, should still have such a delicateeselves. justice in reference to their own i" The Congress will, we hope; when fo question comes under discussion , expectations of the men who , withoutrever disappoint the its sanction, will this important most t p recious most es favo ur to O toilf t f orh those who be unable to accomplish the p ur p ose on which the y are intent. are It d eiestianhed by happy c o l r c c o u e m o s l t a s y n e c - e m r , their - benefit - in -" the diggirgs," - Mat the Congress will have the power to fru! trate their evil designs. They tell us that they "confidently expect to see the Southern people 3et enjoying their full share of that valuable territory for which they so bravely fought—and in due time slave-holding states on• the Pacific, represented in Congress by slave holding citizens, whose voices will be raised in trumpet-tones in defence of the institutions of their forefathers." Considering the progress of legis lation in the• United States, hoiv it is gradually ad vancing in favour .of freedom, • we indulge expectations the very opposite of -those which are e x pr esse d by " these slave-holding citizens. There may, indeed, be voices raised in "trumpet tones" in -defence of -the oppressive "institution," but • there will be other voices in still louder tones raised against it. Those-who wish to • convert. California into a hot-bed of slavery cannot act alone; - if this most disgraceful result should ever be brought about, it must be done in the name of the whole Federal Government, and• by its constnt. There is, in our estimation of the abolutionists, too much of determined purpose, of wakeful intelligence, of daily increasing influence, to render it possible for this most iniquitous pr o j ec t t o succee d. At t h e same time, bearing in mind how great is • the prize by which the cupidity of these "Southern people" is tempted, and the desperation of. which they have given such frequent displays, and which drowning and dying men may be naturally expected to display, we are prepared to witness a tremendous conflict before this great question is finally dec:ded. The friends of freedom in America have the honest and philanthropic men of our own and every country on their side, while the traffickers in human flesh may rest as sure d t h at their miserable cause is one against which are arrayed, not only their own country men in the Northrrn States, but a hose of powerful and energetic men in every civilized land, who will not allow the cause of freedom to retrograde, but are pledged to its advancement throughout the, world.

INTERMENTS IN CITY CHURCHYARDS. The CHAIRMAN said the following letter had been transmitted to the Town-clerk from the General Board of llea!th. Gwydyr House, Whitehall, Sept. 5, 1849. Sir,—l am directed by the General Board of Health to acknowlf dge the receipt of your letter of the 4th in stant, inclosing a copy of a letter addressed by the com mittee on health of the Corporation of the City of Lon don to the churchwardens of the several parishes within the bounds of the City, on the danger arising from the interments now taking place in the confined churchyards, and I am to state in reply that the Board are gladlto find that the attention of the committee has been directed to this very important subject, which has also come under the special consideration of the general board. The Board, however, are required by law to proceed by a separate inspection of each burial ground; and from the present severe pressure upon the attention of their in spectors, they are unable to undertake the task of in spection so rapidly as could be desired. I am, Sir, your most obedient, servant, ALEXANDER BAIN, Assistant Secretary. The letter was entered as read in the committee. REMONSTRANCE AGAINST THE PLAN OF RAISING A TEM. FORAM' CHOLERA. HOSPITAL ON THE BITE OF THE OLD FLEET PRISON. A •ery numerous deputation from the inhabitants of the ward of Farringdon Without, with Alderman Sidney at its head, waited upon the committee in consequence of a report in the newspapers, from which it appeared that the committee had directed the City architect to make a temporary hospital for the reception of cholera patients on the site of the Fleet prison in Farringdon•street. A discussion then ensued, in which several members of the committee and the deputation took part; and upon the motion of Mr. OWDEN, seconded by Mr. MATTHEWS, it was determined that the committee should adhere to its former resolution, that a temporary hospital should be erected on the site of the old Fleet prison, in the event of no 'more suitable place being found. The numbers for the affirmative were 5, for the nega tive 3. The gentlemen of the deputation were then called in, and informed of the result, and they retired expressing their determination to agitate the question and to resist the decision of the committee with all their might. THE CITY OF LONDON UNION AND THE GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH._ The CITY SOLlClTORdetailed the substance of a con. ference which a deputation from the committee held with the members of the General Board of Health, in the course of which it was strongly recommended that the system of house-to-house visitation should be adopted in the city. The deputation took leave of the Board with the under standing that they would report to the committee, and that in all probability the recommendation of district visiting, as suggested by the Board, would be recom mended to the Court of Common Council. The committee then adjourned. METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION.—Yesterday a general court was held at the offices, Greek-street, Soho. Sir John Burgoyne presided, and the following justices were presents—The Rev. Messrs. Stone and Murray, Mr. Buller, Mr. Bain, Mr. Leslie, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Hawes. Mr. Buller said that, considering the cholera returns showed upwards of 200 a day, and that doubts existed as to whether flushing operations were beneficial or not, he Proposed that a circular letter be forthwith sent to various, medical practitioners request ing their opinions of the effect which the flushing of sewers has had on the general health. Agreed to. The Honourable Commissioner also moved—" That the Trial Works Committee be authorised to expend any sum not exceeding 250/. on the ventilating and trapping . of sewers in .those cases in which they.gbilo it would be most beneficial." Mr. Leslie obj ected the motion on two distinct grounds, nana d elY9 - been exhi bited had been given, and that no planebs_ea feasibility of alat no bited to enable the Court to judge of th 8, carried by the proposition. The resolution t h en waswas presented from majority of five to one. A g re p ort olera in the Wandsworth Mr. Grant, respecting thvel°h° road. Albion-terrace, 'ands worth road, consisted of Albion-terra an annual rental varying from sevente, , u houses, 501. to 801. each. In twelve of these houses deaths from h occ urred ; from July 27 to Aug. 13, t h ere had cholera been-thirt)-eight cases, of which twenty-five were f ata l. These had lately increased to fifty. The malady had been ascribed to the Heathwell sewer, to the removal of foul matter, and to bad water. The report attribut.ed the spread of the epidemic mainly to the contamination of the water with which the terrace was supplied. As remedies, it recommended an altered system of house drainage, the cleansing of cesspools, and the destruction of the brick drains. The entire cost of these improve ments would be about lOL per house. 'By this outlay the property would most likely be much increased in value. There bad been nothing done by the Commission which, in the opinion of Mr. Grant, would have caused the recent outbreak of the cholera in that neighbourhood. It was intimated that Mr. Grant might inform the pro prietors that they could peruse this report on applica tion. The Court thou scbourued.. ...- 4 ,t . SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday orders were issued by the General Board of Health for the closing of the graveyard of St. Ann's, Blacktriars, and that of St. Andrew's Holborn, and of Christchurch, Westminster, on the reports of their Inspector, Dr. Gaviti‘Milroy;and for the closing of the Cross Bones Burial-ground, St. Saviour's, South walk, on the report of Mr. Grainger. The office of surgeon to Guy's Hospital, vacant by the death of Mr. Aston Key, has been filled up by the appointment of Mr. John Hilton. The cholera has almost altogether ceased its ravages at Salisbury. The board of health assemble now but twice a week. NEWPORT, 1.W., SEPT. 6.—A fire, which at its outbreak appeared likely to prove highly destructive, broke out about three o'clock this morning, in the ex tensive workshops of Mr. Ellis (formerly. Lancaster and Ellis), in the centre of this town. The Newport engines were early on the spot, and being full of water soon got to work, but there was a great difficulty in keeping up a supply, though there was plenty of water in the mains. The barrack-engine and a large body of troops were also brought down, but it being circulated that there was a great quantity of gunpowder in the stores, and also a quantity of oil and turpentine, many were deterred from assisting till the former was removed, off the premises. By great exertions, the fire was got under, but not till after the workshops in which it broke out were destroyed; but the shop, stores and stock were saved. We hope that good may come out of evil, and that a better ar rangement may be made with the fire-plugs, as the ne cessity is now seen of getting the water from them into the fire. engines, which was not thought of before. ELOPEMENT OF A WIFE AND SVDDEN DEATH ar HER HIJSZAND.—The inhabitants of. Walworth-road have lately been much scandalised by the conduct of Mrs. Bryan, the wife of a respectable tradesman resid ing at No. 5, near the Elephant and Castle, who has been for some time past openly carrying on an intrigue with a youth named Ward, whom her husband had taken into the house from motives of charity. A week ago Ward was observed by the police blowing a railway signal whistle under the windows, and shortly afterwards to pick up something thrown out to him and walk away. He was taken into custody, and three purses with money were found upon him. - His abandoned paramour ap peared next day at the police court, and by acknow ledging that she had given him the money secured his liberation. At length, on Saturday night last, Mrs. Bryan absconded with 601., the property of her husband, and neither she nor Ward have since been heard of. The most melancholy part of the tale remains to be told. On Tuesday afters oon Mr. Bryan was seized with cholera, and, notwithstanding the best and most skilful treatment, expired at an early hour on the following morning. While the hand of death was on him Mr. Bryan, who was some years the senior of his wife, sent for his at torney, to whom he dictated his last will and testament, and so disposed of his property that his wife cannot touch it. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.—The Havre cotton market continues dull at late quotations, without being in the slightest manner affected by the late advices from New York.

BRIGHTON.—Our arrivals continue to increase rapidly, and numbers are daily flocking in from London. This town is so situated that the hottest weatheris tem pered either by a cooling breeze from the sea, or a re freshing current of air irons the Downs, which sweeps through the streets, and materially assists in purifying tho atmosphere and cleansing the town. The late heavy rains have also done much good in that respect. — Brighton Gazette, A fine race.
