She applied to them. Not only -Pei,," i nary medical men, but also to various and many inent fb si i fcians ; and once she had the benefit (?) of a consultation of titues of them. She was bled many times ; (upon one occasion three within twenty-four hours)—had what is called a ;: z P e tual blister on the side for fo urteen days, with Mus tard plaster upon that ; was cupped , leeched, salivated, and all but killed. All the former things failing to re move the dis order,,Cerefused she w as a b ou t to have a reton put in the side ; this , however, take to submit to. After having gone thro u g h all this and ni an immense quantity of drugs of different kinds, with no be ,ve ial effect, the complaint was considered a complicat ion of dis orders,"bur,,er and she incurable. Thus she went on. Life to he r was a , rather than a pleasure. After this she was attacked with „ssevere tie-douloreux, which almost took away her senses. Had r s ',7e i co al advice again; bad teeth drawn, and sundry ot her thin g s dor its removal, which gave only temporary relief, the rn n t still continuing. She was at this time, by a friend, recoil:i- Ddedto take " Morison's Pills." She did so for a few day . ; but e nded , strongly prejudiced against them, from the hue-and - cry made , time they killed everybody," she discontinued taking them for a e ; but necessity caused her to try again, with a determination to Continue. This she did for a space of about six months, i i commenc rsing g with four No. 1 pills one night, and four No. 2 the next night , s, ± o erea - the number gradually up to eight No. 1 one night. and eight • 2 the next night; someaimes reducing, and sometimes in creasing the number between four and eight, eight being the greatest number taken at any time. At the end of six Months every symptom of pain in the side was removed, and all the other pains also. More than two quarts of clear Matter was brought away by the action of the pills ; Which causes me to think that there was an abscess formed on the liver, which all former treatment was not calculated to remove; but which, by the blessing of God, in the use of the Vegetable Medicine, has been effectually cured. This was about seven years ago ; and from that time to the pre sent, she has been well able to attend to her domestic affairs, and feels a cheerfulness in the same ; to which she was, before that tine, a stranger. I shall now only add, that neither she nor myself take any other medicine. The consequence is, that our yearly ex- Pences for physic, &c., are shillings instead of guineas ; we, of course, r ecommend the same to others, and many act upon our recommen dation. We could give au account of many cases in which great benefit has been derived.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPTiMBER 2.—We had a very severe storm of thunder and lightening on Satur day night at Portsmouth, accompanied, we are happy to say, with a deluge of rain; it com menced at eight o'clock and continued till midnight. The rain will be of vast benefit to the health of the town, cleansing the sewers, the drains, and the gutters. The cholera, which still occasionally breaks out and proves fatal in some of the unwholesome localities, will, no doubt, now tak e it s fi na l departure. For the ast four or five days past we have had dull, heavy, sultry weather, with a sort of sirocco wind, which the thunder and lightning of last night cleared away. The Gitana; schooner yacht, belonging to the Earl of Lincoln, has been brought in the graving slip at the dockyard to repair. The Victoria and Albert will return most of her cabin furniture, and go up to her winter moorings early next week. The Stromboli steamer, Lord A. Beauclerk, sailed for the eastward, supposed Aberdeen, on Friday night. The Ilendrik Hudson, American liner packet, ar rivtd from the river last night ; she has embarked passengers, and will sail this evening for New York. Wind S.S.E.. moderate breezes and cloudy. WOOLWICH, SEPT. I.—The Rhadamanthus steam vessel went down the river to Sheerness, where she will remain until further orders, being now ready for sea. The experiments on board the Niger, to test the evaporating power of her boilers, were concluded yesterday, and although the final calculations have not been yet completed, we may state that the result is of a favourable nature. ROYAL MARINES.—A general court-martial was held at the barracks here during the present week, for the trial of Sergeant Robert Morris, 94th com pany of Royal Marines, on the undermentioned charges. Lieut.-Colonel M'Adam, president ; Lieut.-Colonel Pratt, Lieut.-Colonel Coryton, Brevet-Major Philips, Brevet-Major Hamilton, Captain Edleston, Captain Buchanan, Captain Fosbroke, Lieutenant Hambly, Lieutenant Rider, Lieutenant Butcher, Lieutenant Kennedy, Lieutenant Bunce, Lieutenant Casey, and Lieutenant M'Arthur, members. Lieutenant and Adjutant Foote, officiating Judge-Advocate. First charge—For disgraceful conduct, in having, at Woolwich, between the 30th of June and the 80th of August, 1848, embezzled or fraudulently misap plied certain sums of publie money, as hereinafter stated, entrusted to his care agreeably to the practice of the service, for distribution in payment, or to be otherwise accounted for by him in his ca pacity of pay-sergeant of the 4th grand division or 7th and Bth par a d e compan i es o f t h e Woolwich divi sion of Royal Marines, and for which duty the said sergeant was receiving a pecuniary allowance from Government, in addition to his military pay, the said sums of money being more or less as follows :-1. By moneys overdrawn on pay-bill of the 7th parade company, July, 1848, 8/. Is. Bid. 2. By moneys overdrawn on pay-bill of the Bth parade company, for July, 1848, 211. 1 ls. 4id. 3. By moneys overdrawn on pay-bill of the 7th parade company, for August, 1848, 101. 7s. 21d. 4. By moneys overdrawn on pay bill of the Bth parade company, for August, 1848, 41. 2s. Bid. Second charge—For having deserted from the Royal Marines at Woolwich, on or about the 30th August, 1848, and not returning until on or about the 16th August, 1849, when he surrendered himself as a deserter at the Royal Marine Barrack, Wool wich, to Sergeant-Major Thomas Corbett, of the Royal Marines. The prisoner pleaded Guilty to both charges, and the Court having returned the sentence passed on him, adjourned, and resumed their duties until the decision of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty is known. [PRICE 'SD. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY, 10 P.M.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's packet has arrived here with the usual Spanish and Portu guese mails, in charge of Lieutenant Inglis, R.N. She brings a large cargo of grapes and lemons, and a small quantity of specie. Our letters from Lisbon, of the 29th ult., mention that the resignation of the Duke of Saldanha, as Ambassador to Paris, had been accepted by the Government. The special committee and general assembly of shareholders had voted the necessary authority for the required loan to the Government. The principal clauses appear to be that 600 contos of Treasury-bills were to be created, the Bank being authorized to issue or negotiate them to the extent of 400 contos, at the rate of 20 contos a week, these bills to be paid on maturity by the Bank out of two thirds of the current decimal tax of 1849. Investigations into the various fiscal establishments were still the order of the day in Lisbon, and many , irregularities bad been detected. The vexatious re ,trictions upon the transfer of foreign goods from Lisbon to Oporto had been taken off, and henceforth merchandise thus closed can be received under bond. Portugal was perfectly tranquil ; the Court was at Cintra. The exchanges on London, for three months' bills, were quoted at 53! to with a good demand on the part of private houses as well as the Board of Public Credit. Government securities continued in fair demand. The Five per Cents. were selling at from 57 to 68 ; Four per Cents. at 47 to 48 ; Lisbon. Bank notes, 381 per cent. discount. Advices from Oporto of the 30th ult. quote the rate of exchange on London, at three months, 54k, with a good many transactions. Brazilian bills were offered freely, and much paper remained over. London wine freights, 223. 6d. Indian corn was likely to be abundant, but olives less plentiful. Two Sardinian war steamers had arrived to con vey the body of the ex-King Charles Albert to Genoa. Tho Mediterranean Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steamer Erin, Captain Olive, has just arrived from Civita Vecchia, Leghorn, Genoa, and Gibraltar. By this steamer w•e have advices from Gibraltar to the 25th ult., three days later than brought by the Pacha. Exchange on Loudon, 90 days' date, was quoted 501. Her Majesty's steamer Janus was at Gibraltar. Steam-ship Ripon, with outward India mails, ar rived on the 26th, and sailed the same day from Alexandria. LONDON FEVER- STILL —lt has been fallaciously argued that no ill effects arise from burials in vaults, in consequence of the bodies being encased in lead, and some say that they would think it a great hardship to be prevented from being placed after death among their family. Although the crypt of Bow Church is by no means the worst in Loudon, still its atmosphere is a proof against the above assertion, and Mr. Walker and others have given evidence on the point beyond contro versy. Wishing to obtain another opinion in addition to those already recorded and our own, we wrote to an able surgeon and chemist to the following effect : "It having been stated that the practice of encasing bodies in lead previous to interment will prevent poisonous gases from being dispersed throughout the vaults in which such bodies are laid, will you in form us if you think it is possible by any such process to confine the gases which are generated by decomposition?" In reply, he said—" They would be completely confined by such cases made of lead until by their accumulation the case would no longer re sist the pressure; the result would be either the sudden rupture of the case, or the production of a small fissure allowing a gradual escape. As to the production of such gases, there can be no doubt that they are always produced by the gradual decomposition of animal bodies, and a case must be far stronger than is ever used to resist their pressure. The simple fact of exclusion from the air could not prevent their formation." We have also put the following question to a person who is ex tensively employed as an undertaker:—" Do you think that the lead coffins at present in use are capable of con taining the gases which are generated by decomposi tion ?" Ho said :—" I do not think they can answer any poisonous such purpose, and it is a common practice among the trade t) make certain holes, which are partly concealed by the coffin-plate, for the purpose of preventing the coffin from bursting." We can from our own knowledge speak of coffins in these London vaults bursting with a report like a pistol; and it is not unusual for the sexton to nt to go round with a long iron spear and puncture such doubt coffins as he thinks suspicious. There can be d of character, and ape that of fth t to continue the vault of a church is not only fearfully dauger i ou, to n clict gases, e tdO also of theirtoimou i the congregation, but the who le neighbourhood.—.The Builder. of candidates for the vacan c y SEPT. 2.—The nomin a tion KIDDERMINSTE R ELEIPTION ! -- KIDDERMINSTER, repres en tation of this borough through th e death in the e death of the lat e Member (Mr. Godson) takes p l ac e on Tues d a y next (to-morrow), and the polling on Wednes day.

O n t h e present occasion there has ample opport un it y a ff or d ed them of weighing the merits of the two candidates, who have now been Mote the electors for some weeks. Meetings of electors and non electors have been held in the borough almost nightly, and the candidates have addressed the electors over and over again in iteration of their claims to support; still there is a sufficient number of electors (as at Leominster) who decline to promise either party left to turn the scale in the balance of parties here, and it would be difficult to prognosticate which will be the successful candidate. A SEA MONSTER.—In the early part of the week, some fishermen brought up the river (Wisbeach), as far as Pauper's Cut, a bottle-nosed grampus, about 20 fee long, which was taken dead on the sands. The state of the fish was very offensive, and it was cut up for blubber. We hear the men took it to Boston, in the first instance, but the authorities of that town order' them to sake it back to see.

TO THE AUTUMN Autumn I I feel thy near approach, The summer soon will leave ; While clouds and chilly airs encroach Upoß the shortening eve. The lavender perfumes the breeze, The swallow takes her flight, And faded leaves forsake the trees, While Phcebus dims his light. Say, Autumn, say, for I would know, What weather wilt thou bring, Will stormy breezes coldly blow, When songsters cease to sing? But wherefore do I question thus In this familiar rhyme? Moses and Son will famish us Dress suited to the time. Their Autumn stock will prove to be The choicest ever sold ; And just the articles for thee. When sweeping winds blow cold.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the ether supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em- Witterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and socisl content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set, dement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform aa item M the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes sr aeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single an d Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth or on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, whieh alone together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other Ittle publications claim your attention (same price IL each, by rest Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and &veld," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamp nets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's !Ifs who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob serv.enca of the maxims he would inculcate--to do unto ethers as he wet to he done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

By private treaty the transactions have been neither large nor numerous, coin prising a few sales of Buenos Ayres, Peruvian, Oporto, &c., &c., at full prices of the previous month. There is a fair demand for good combing Russian, and the lower qualities of East India; other descriptions of coarse not much sought after, unless at a reduction. About 2,500 bales were offered by auction on the 29th and 30th ult., 1,600 bales of which were East India, and 500 bales Buenos Ayres; the attendance was numerous, but the competition was somewhat languid; East India sold at a decline of id. per lb. on the average since the 3d of August, caused probably by the quantity of English short wool in the market, which has been sold very low; when the stock of English becomes reduced, which must be ere long, with the present consumption, prices will doubtless soon recover the fall—Buenos Ayres and other kinds also sold lower. Scotch—Cheviot is in good de mand, especially the fine clips; cross moves off but slowly; and to make sales of Laid Highland rather lower prices are taken, the quantity on hand is light. English and Irish—Coming fleeces are still taken freely; the sales are to a fair extent, and holders not disposed to submit to any reduction. Oil—The business done has been rather extensive; a further advance is established, and there is every prospect of prices being much higher, as the quantity is considerably lessened.—From Joseph Robinson and Co.'s Circular. OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.—We have great satis faction at being made the medium of announcing that, in the event of our foreign relations presenting a suffi ciently peaceable aspect to admit of the act of Royal condescension, her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the leading members of the Court, intends taking a trip up the Mediterranean next year, and honouring with a visit, during her marine excursion, some of the southern isles. An intimation of the Sovereign's determination has ,been thus early communicated to the autho rities, both in England and abroad, whose ser vices are indispensable to a royal tour. The pre paration for the grand exhibition of specimens of the arts and manufactures of all nations, which we have reason to know is the project of his Royal Highneis Prince Albert, are in • a state of active progress. Al ready interest has been awakened on the subject in France and America, and it is certain that the exhibi tion will be on a scale of magnificence hitherto totally unexampled. Some of the prizes will amount to 5,0001., and, to enhance their value, will be distributed by the highest personage in the realm. Prince Albert, just be fore his departure for Ireland, had several consultations with some distinguished members of the world of art respecting this great undertaking; and his Royal High ness has authorised three gentlemen to proceed to the manufacturing districts to secure the full co-operation of the English manufacturers.

THE AMENDED COUNTY COURTS ACT.-011 day two provisisons in the new County Courts Act (12th and thirteenth Viet., cap 101) came into operation, re • pealing the authority given to the judges to commit to county gaols or houses of correction, and substituting the usual debtors' prison, where in future debtors are to be sent. By the third section it is provided that where a debtors' prison is situated at an inconvenient distance, or is in a crowded state, the Secretary of State may au thorise commitments to a house of correction, " and make orders altering the regulations of such house of correction or gaol so far as respects the treatment of persons to be committed under this Act, in order that such persons may be treated as nearly as may be in like manner as if they had been committed to a gaol in which such debtors as aforesaid may be confined, notwithstand ing the regulations in force in such house of correction or gaol to which such persons may be committed, and every such order may from time to time be revoked or varied by such Secretary of ,State as occasion may require. THE IRON TRADE AND THE STRIKE IN SOUTH STAFIFORDSHIRE.—BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY: The turn out of thick coal men which has existed for ; some weeks past in the neighbourhood of Wednesbury, West Bromwich, and other parts of the mining districts of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire, is nearly at an end. A great number of the colliers have returned to work at the old prices. At the time notice was given of a reduction of wages the prospects of the iron trade were of a gloomy description; within the last two weeks the manufacture of iron in this vicinity has much im proved, and there is reason to hope that the improvement , will be permanent. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. I On Manning's arrival at Horsemonger-lane Gaol, on Saturday, he was received by Mr. Keane, the go vernor, when he, in a tremulous tone of voice, asked whether he might be permitted to see his wife in the presence of Inspector Yates and the officers. The governor, however, told him that it would be con trary to the regulations of the gaol, and that he would not be permitted to see her. The prisoner ejaculated that he was sorry for it, as his wife could exonerate him from all participation in the murder. He was then led into one of the cells usually occupied by pri soners charged with heinous crimes, and two turn keys were appointed to watch him. On being left with them he became very downcast, and at times was noticed to betray considerable ner vousness. At a later period of the day he desired to be furnished with ink and paper, which being sup plied him, he wrote and addressed a letter to his wife. As usual in such serious cases, the communication went through the hands of the governor, who, we areinformed, intercepted its delivery. The purport of the communication has not transpired. He frequently questioned the officers of the prison who were with him whether he might be allowed trifling indulgences during his confinement. At various times he asked permission to have some tobacco to smoke, but his wish was refused. With respect to Mrs. Manning, since her knowledge of Manning's apprehension, the composure and firmness she displayed while her husband continued at large has quite forsaken her—a change which was instantly observable on her hearing the fact of Manning's arrest. During the greater part of Saturday she paced the ward of the prison in which her cell is situate evidently in a state of great mental excitement. An inspector of the M division of police had an in terview with Mrs. Manning on Saturday, for the purpose of procuring a receipt from her for 201., which Mr. Seeker, the magistrate at the Southwark Police-court, had allowed her to prepare her defence, out of the money found in her possession when appre hended by Mr. Mozhay in Edinburgh. Shaking the inspector by the hand, apparently in the most hearty and fervent manner, she said, ".1 thank you and the worthy magistrate for this assistance; I am much obliged." She then wrote on a slip of paper the de sired receipt. The style o f writing, however, is certainly not in keeping with her reported accom plishments. She was aware of her husband's arrival in the gaol, and remarked that it was very annoying they were to be brought up together a t th e nex t examination at the police-court. She has frequently inquired of the persons whose duty it is to watch her what the newspapers say about the matter ; but her anxiety on this part has not been relieved. He ar i ng , however, that Manning, when arrested at Jersey, had accused her of committ in g the crime by shooti ng M r . O'Connor at the bott om of the staircase, she exclaimed, " The villain ; it was he that did it, not me." Late on Saturday night the police auth or iti es ob tained some informatio n which is considered of great importance. It appears that on the 26th of July Manning called at the furnishing ironmongery ware house of Messrs. Evans, 33, King William-street, London-bridge, and asked to be shown a small crow bar. The shopman, George Stoad, informed him that they did not keep such articles in stock ready made, but if he (Manning) pleased one should be made for him. Manning answered that would do as well, but he impressed upon the shopman that he did not want one too large—about 71b. or 81b would do. Manning then said that he would leave his name and address, which he did, and desired the implement to be sent home when finished. According to his in structions the crowbar was made, and on the 28th Messrs. Evans sent it t o 3, Minver-place, by one of the porters. A few minutes after the man had started with it Manning called at Messrs. Evans's shop to ascertain whether the c rowbar was ready, and being informed that the porter had just gone with it to his house, he left in a hurried manner and . overtook the porter in Tooley-street. Stopping him in the street, he asked him if he was going to his house with a crowbar, pointing to the uncovered implement the man was carrying. The porter replied that he was taking it to No. 3, Minver-place, New Weston street. Manning replied, "That's all right, but I suppose paper is very scarce at your establish ment. One don't want everybody to see such things; come with me." Manning then went into the first stationer's shop they met with, and buying a sheet of brown paper, he took the bar from the porter's hand and wrapped it up in the paper. He then wrote on it his name and address, and, walking with the porter, showed him the way to Minver-place. Arriving at the corner of New Weston-street, Manning desired the porter to go on and deliver it. The man pro ceeded to the house as directed, and, knocking at the door, was answered by a tall, well-dressed woman, who had a mark on the upper part of her neck. On presenting the parcel she said, " Oh, you have come from Mr. Evans in King William-street. What's to pay ?" The porter replied that there was 3s. 6d. to pay. The woman said that was 6d. more than she expected, but, without much hesitation, she handed to the porter the 3s. 6d., and he left. Singularly enough Messrs. Evans had retained the slip of paper on which the address was written when the order was given for the crowbar, and it has been identified as being Manning's handwriting. The porter in the course of the evening was taken to Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and identified both the prisoners. It is pre sumed that Manning made away with the crowbar, as it was not among the articles purchased by Bain bridge, the broker. In appearance it resembled a large ripping chisel, with a rather long flat point, tipped with steel, the metal rather more than an inch and a quarter in thickness. LATEST PARTICULARS. We are enabled to supply some additional particu lars of the assassin's conduct while on his journey from St. Helier's to Southampton, from the pen of a gentleman who had every opportunity of witnessing what occurred, both on board the steam-packet, and subsequently in the special train by which he was conveyed to London. It appears that the proposition that he should walk through the streets of St. Helier's to the place of embarkation did not emanate from the prisoner himself, but was suggested to him by some of the lesser authorities of the place, who, n ot being able to procure orders from the Governor to see the prisoner while in gaol, for all their friends, took this means of gratifying their curiosity. Manning was assured that none of the inhabitants would be aware of his removal, and that he would be enabled to pass through the streets unobserved, if he consented to walk to the harbour. Upon this assurance he did so, but after he had left the prison there were presently two or three hundred persons at his heels, a circum stance which seemed to annoy him very much ; and after he had been received on board the Despatch by Langley, he complained to that officer very warmly on the subject of the deceit which he said had been prac tised upon him by the Jersey police, and declared that had he known what would happen, he would have seen them all d—d before he would have walked, and have been pressed upon by a parcel of " roughs." The captain of the boat having placed a cabin in the fore part of the vessel at the disposal of the officers, Manning was conducted thither, and here he remained throughout the voyage. All the efforts of the officers were not sufficient to preserve privacy for the prisoner; the passengers would go down stairs, and, under pretence of looking at the berths hi the cabin, they walked on and stared the wretched man out of coun tenance. At length Langley placed his back against the door, and would not allow even the steward to enter. The morbid curiosity to see the prisoner was still so great that a number of persons might gene rally be observed in a group near the skylight, gazing at the miserable man. It has been stated that the prisoner was very much indulged while in the gaol at St. Helier's, being allowed brandy and other stimu lating drinks. This, it should be remembered, was under the advice of the medical officer of the prison, who, having ascertained the previous habits of Man ning, was apprehensive that any sudden change might produce serious consequences. The officers in charge of the prisoner were advised to_ continue this lib e r a l re gimen, and Manning drank, during the voyage, about half a-pint of brandy, and sundry pint bottles of stout. Before the steam-packet left St. Helier's, the chaplain of the prison had an interview with Manning, and presented him with a Bible, a gift whibh he acknow ledged in very suitable terms. When the vessel had gotunder weigh, the prisoner remarked to the officers that he was very glad to get away from the place. The prisoner having been allowed very considerable in dulgence while in gaol at St. Helier's, Langley did not consider it necessary to enforce any remarkable degree of restraint upon him during the passage across, and nothing like handcuff's or irons were introduced. When the accused reached Southamp ton, however, he was handcuffed to Lockyer before being brought on deck. As an instance of his extra ordinary coolness —not to say effrontery—while thus manacled, he continued to smoke a cigar. When In spector Haynes came on board the ship to receive the prisoner, this act seemed to him a great breach of police discipline, and snatching th e " wee d " from the assassin's lips, be stamped it beneath his feet, and immediately afterwards placed another pair of handcuffs on the prisoner. The wretched man appeared much humbled at this proceeding, and mut tered something in an angry tone t o th e i ns p ec t o r, for which, however, he afterwards apologised to Mr. H a y nes . H e remained manacled in th e same way throughout the journey to London, and was driven to Stone's end station, coupled to Inspector Haynes. During the journey home, Manning very fre quently spoke to Langley on the subject of the crime with which he stands charged. He reiterated his confident opinion, when his wife is placed beside him, she will " confess all," as he describes it, and espe cially if a clergyman is present. He ran on so two or three times, that Langley was compelled to caution him, and to remind him that as an officer he should he compelled to repeat anything he might say. Manning hereupon said, " Oh, but you know I am going to explain all when I get to town." He also asked Langley whether he would advise him to have a solicitor. Langley said that most persons when they got into trouble obtained legal assistance, and he then asked who Langley would recommend, and added that he should retain either Clarkson or Ballantine to defend him, and wished to know which Langley thought would be best, a question which the officer very cleverly answered by saying they were both very good. It appears from what he says, that he has been of opinion he can give evidence against his wife, a delusion which, no doubt, ere this his solicitor has set him right upon. When informed, during his railway journey to town, that the Coroner's jury had returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against both himself and his .wife , he appeared very much sur prised, exclaimed, " Oh !" and heaved a deep sigh. The prisoner was so unwell at the Stone's-end station on Friday night, that a doctor was sent for to see him, and we understand he is still allowed to take brandy occasionally. The very interesting circumstances at tendant u p on the chase of the Victoria American packet-ship by her Majesty's steamer Fire Queen, Captain Allen, have never yet been correctly given. The following narrative of the facts may be relied on :—The two detective officers Langley and Thornton left town for Southampton on Sunday, the 19th ult., and devoted the following morning to a searoh for the supposed assassin in the various ships lying in the harbour of that place. At noon the officers went over to Ports mouth, where, about three o'clock, they received in formation from London, by telegraph, to the effect that it was suspected Manning or his wife had secured a passage on board the Victoria, bound to New York, which vessel would probably be at Spithead the same afternoon. Langley immediately communicated with Mr. Leggatt, the chief of the Portsmouth police, who accompanied the London officer to the Platform battery, where several boatmen were questioned as to whether they had seen the Victoria off the port. The officers were at once informed that she had passed Spithead about two hours previously— that she had not anchored as it was expected she would, but merely lain to for a few minutes, and then proceeded with all sail set upon her voyage up Channel. Mr. Leggatt then advised the detective officers to accompany him before the Mayor, who, he stated, would, he had no doubt, on a proper representation of the circumstances of suspicion, re quest the Port Admiral to grant the use of a Govern vernment steamer to pursue the American ship. The officers did as requested, and explained to the Mayor the grounds of suspicion which had been communi cated by telegraph from London, on ascertaining which the worthy official at once gave the officers a letter of introduction to the Admiral, with a state ment of what they desired. It was after six o'clock when this letter was delivered by the officers to the Admiral, who, on ascer • taining its contents, instantly gave directions that the Fire Queen Government steamer should be placed at their disposal. The steam was immediately got up, and before eight o'clock this fine vessel proceeded out of the harbour, steering her course up the Solent in pursuit of the Victoria. After a sail of some hours the first vessel signalled as the missing ship proved to be a Prussian man of war. Two or three other vessels of a smaller size were hailed, and inquiries made as to whether they had seen a ship answering the description of the Victoria. No intelligence was, however, obtained of her whereabout until about two o'clock in the morning off Portland-bill, when a large vessel was descried in the distance. The Fire Queen immediately shaped her course in pursuit, and on ap proaching within shot challenged in the usual manne —" What ship ?" " The Victoria, from London to New York," was the welcome response of the man on the watch, followed up by the inquiry of " What ship are you P" " The Queen's ship of war Fire Queen, coming down to board you ; lay to directly," was the startling reply which issued in hoarse notes from the deck of the steamer. The American ship immediately altered her course, and came round ; a boat was loWered from the steamer, and the two officers (Langley and Thornton), accompanied by Captain Allen, having entered it, a few strokes of the sturdy sea men brought them alongside the Victoria. The American captain directed a rope to be thrown out, but Captain Allen, with sword in hand, called for the companion ladder to be lowered, in order that the two landsmen might enter the vessel without danger, and by it he and the officers having boarded the vessel, they explained to the cap tain the nature of their business, and inquired for his passenger list. On looking through the list (there were 315 emigrants on board) Langley saw the name of Rebecca Manning, against which stood the figures 39. In the absence of any explanation the officer supposed this to be the number of the berth, and hav ing searched it out he found No. 39 berth was occu pied by two men, who were fast asleep. On inquiry it was ascertained that the figures denoted the emi grants' age, and not the locality they might occupy in the vessel. To be brief, after a great deal of trouble, Langley found Rebecca Manning, and was at once satisfied that she was not the person of whom he was in pursuit. The officers, with Captain Allen, then left the Victoria, and re-embarked in the Fire Queen, which returned to Portsmouth imme diately. IS THERE A THIRD ? (From the Examiner.) There is still a very mysterious circumstance in the evidence relating to the murder of O'Connor. The landlady of the deceased, Ann Armes, states that a person called at her house on Monday, the 13th of August, making inquiries for Patrick O'Connor, and mentioning that he had transacted business with him on the preceding Saturday, two days after the time he was missing. Ann Armes identified in the coroner's court the person who made this representa tion, who turned out to be John Basset, clerk to Messrs. Killick and Co., stock and share brokers. Basset, under examination, stated a person called at his principal's office on the 31st of July respecting the sale of some stock, Eked made an appointment on the following day, which he did not keep. He called again on the Qd of August, apologising for his omis sion, and explaining that he did not want to part with his stock for a couple of days. He called again on Saturday, the 11th, produced twenty shares of Eastern Counties Consolidated Stock, and obtained for it 1101., for which he signed a receipt in the name of "Patrick O'Connor, 21, Greenwood street, Mile-end-road." After finishing his business he entered into some gossiping talk about a fishing excursion to Exeter he was about to make. He did not speak with an Irish accent; and Basset describes him as of forty-four or forty-five years of age, very round-faeed, tall and stout made, in height about five feet ten, light whiskers, complexion not sallow. He subsequently saw the body of O'Connor, and thought it resembled the person who had transferred the stock, but could not swear to the identity, though the build was similar. John Hammond, another clerk in the same house, deposed that he gave two notes to Basset for the person representing himself as Patrick O'Connor, one for 1001-, the other for 5/., which latter (No. 20,521) was found in the possession of Mrs. Manning by the officer Moxey. Hammond also saw the corpse of O'Connor, and stated that, to the best of his belief, the dead body was that of the man who had sold the stock. Now, this sale took place on the 13th, and O'Connor must have been murdered in the night of the 11th. The person who sold the stock could not have been Manning, who is ten years younger than the conjectured age of the man who did business with Basset, and who is also shorter, and of a very florid complexion ; whereas Basset's account of the self called Patrick O'Connor is that he was not sallow, which are negative terms that would not be applied to a singularly ruddy man. Who, then, can this person have been ? As a note paid to him was found in 'the possession of Mrs. Manning, he is clearly connected, consciously or unconsciously, with the crime ; and his representing himself as Patrick O'Connor would argue a guilty knowledge and complicity. The device was probably to mislead, and create a belief that nothing had happened to O'Connor, and that he was absent for his amusement, and thus to gain time for the escape of the criminals. There is in this case a third criminal implicated, still to be traced out. What became of the 1001. note is another curious question. The application to Messrs. Killick's office so far back as the 31st of July, ten days before the murder, is of a piece with the purchase of the quick lime more than a month before the wicked opportu nity: had been found for its use. Now, itisrPematarrkick able that the person passing himself eff as ' ffice to O'Connor called first at Mess rs. Killickds O'Connor visited the Man nin g s in company d y ao beforeh Walsh, whose presence on t hat occasion with Walsh, their terms for stock the ver y lN is to have frustrated the perp etration of the supposed to crime ; an d the next day the ism• perso n oallen to ssy tkst he postponed the sale of the stock, which was not forth coming till the 13th, the second day after the mur der. As with the shovel, the lime, and the grave, every arrangement was made beforehand. The Co roner, in his very imperfect charge, did not advert to this mysterious person, who could neither have been O'Connor as he represented, nor Manning, to whom he bore no resemblance; but merely drew the jury's attention to the fact that a note found in the posses sion of Mrs. Manning had been paid away to a per son under the name of O'Connor ; as if the circum stance had no extraordinary significance, or as if the person passing for O'Connor could possibly have been O'Connor himself. THE BERIVIONDSEY HORROR. THE COMMODITY OF MURDER. God's lightning pursuing murder is become a true and active thing. What was a figure of speech is now a working minister. A phrase in the mouth of poetry is now a familiar presence —a household re tainer, doing hourly errands. We have brought de vastation into servitude; we have made a bond-slave of destruction. Thus, murder has hardly turned from its abomination —scarcely set forth upon its shuddering flight, when the avenging lightning stays the homicide. Marvellous is the poetry of our daily life ! We out-act the dreams of story-books. The Arabian tales are flat, crude gossip against the written activi ties of our social state. Sinbad, with his wonders, so many glories about him, is become a dull fellow, op posed by the electric workman—the Clerk of the Lightning. Murder, with its black heart beating thick its brain blood gorged, rea d s t h e history of its damna tion. Hundreds of miles away from its ghastly work, murder in the stupidity of deepest guilt—for the greater the crime the greater the folly that ever as a shadow accompanies, and betrays it—murder, with forced belief in its impunity, reads its own doings chronicled and commented upon in the newts paper sheet; and — so far from the vict i m ' s grave; . the retreat so cunningly assured, the hiding-place so wisely chosen—murder draws freer breath, and holds itself secure ! And the while, the inexorable lightning -the electric pulse—thrills in the wires—and in a moment idiot murder stammers and grows whitein the face of justice. In the marvellousness that subli mates the mind of man, our electric tales make poor work of the Arabian. Solomon's Genii may sleep in their brazen kettles. They are, in truth, the veriest smoke compared with the genii of the wires. In the contemplation of this last atrocity—a horror that, traded upon, seems to taint the wholesomeness of daily life ; for, in every variety of utterance, mur: der cries to us in the public streets—in this last greaj wickedness, there is matter for sad congratulation, for mournful thanksgiving. An abomination is com mitted, and, so wonderful are the means of apprehen sion ; so sure and so astounding in their operation— and guilt has but a few gasps of fancied freedom, and lo ! guilt is captive. Considerin g th e cer tainty—the fate that travels the wires—we take hope that from the self-conviction of discovery—from the dishearten ing belief that there is no escape—no evasion from the consequence of crime, the miserable wretch tempted to evil, will turn in his mind the many odds, and refrain upon the lowest principle—that of calcu lation. This is something. The murderer in mind who would not be stayed in his guilt by the thought of after lightning—may pause, awed by the thought of lightning rstady—the unerring telegraph. And, in the present hour, there is another cause of mournful pride to the English nation. It was a solemn business, a stern and awful work begun, when the Fire Queen, with her black flag of smoke, stood out from Portsmouth; bound to cross the Atlantic, if need were—to stay and overhaul the Victoria, freighted with the curse of murder. There is a fine, stern lesson in this ; a noble sermon, preached extent pore to embryo crime. Justice at the Home-office makes the wires speak, saying to a certain Admiral— " Send a fast-sailing ship to sea, that retribution may be done upon bloodshedders." There is something solemn, awful, in the warning uttered in this. It says to crime—" Though the sea encompass you ; though you have baulked pursuit, and justice—like a hound at fault—beats and gropes confounded ; though you have begun to count the profits of blood, and how to make the most of them ; how, in your new country, to live a life of impunity and ease—nevertheless, give up the dream ; dismiss the vision, and awake to horrid truth. For there, in the horizon miles away, in a thin dark vapour—the man at the mast has seen and reported it—and, with every ten minutes, it be comes more distinct—and now the distant gun is heard across the water, booming command : and the ship's yards swing round—she lays to ; and, how rapid the ceremony, how brief the time ! and murder, aghast and manacled, is made again to turn its face toward the land it has outraged with the sacrifice of Yesterday (Sunday) morning, shortly after two o'clock, a fire of a very alarming and destructive character, which was nearly attended with a melancholy loss of life, occurred upon the premises of Mr. William Taylor (who resides at Oxford), No. 12, Clement's Inn-passage, Strand. The flames were first discovered by police constable No. 96 F, at which period they were raging apparently in the first or ground floor. The smoke at the same timo was rushing from every window in the building. The constable raised an instant alarm, and after repeatedly knocking at the door, he succeeded in arousing the occupant of the first floor, a gentleman of the name of Foster. That party on getting up found the smoke so dense that he could scarcely draw his breath. Having got to the front window, he was just in the act of throwing himself out, when he recollected that a man and his wife were sleeping in the floor above. To that part of the house Mr. Foster made, when he awoke the two parties who were there sleeping, and having dragged them to the first-floor window, he lowered them down, and afterwards jumped out himself. The fire, by that time, had made such fearful progress that the flames were issueing forth from the upper windows, and through the roof, with such impetuosity as to threaten the destruction of the whole of the contiguous premises. The St. Clement's Royal Society's fire-escape promptly attended, followed by the engines of the parish, London 13.-igade, and West of England company. The machines were instantly called into operation, and powerful bodies of water were scattered over the flames, but, notwith standing, they continued to spread, and having ignited the top part of the premises belonging to Mrs. Howe, a baker, No. 13 in the same thoroughfare, as well as those in the tenure of Mr. Nosworth, a boot and shoemaker, No. 11, the most strenuous exertions of the firemen were directed towards saving the premises on either side. Fortunately the firemen were enabled to get the con flagration extinguished by five o'clock, but not until the premises in which it began were destroyed, and those ad joining on either side extensively damaged. One of the parties who was assisting to get the fire out fell from a high wall, and was so severely injured as to be obliged to be taken to the hospital. The origin of the fire is unknown. The sufferers were uninsured. THE MURDER AT ST. JOHN'S JERSEY.—The Impartial gives the following account of Thomas Le Gros' appearance in the Royal Court on Thursday last: —"The prisoner was brought handcuffed to the bar. He wore the same dress as on the day which he was first pr e sented. Ire was much paler. His face still retained its sinister expression, and its palor still snore exhibited those indications of insanity which were remarked on his first appearance in court. He continually moved forwards and backwards, and yet appeared to pay great attention to all which the witnesses said. Whenever they averred that he had killed his brother, or struck his sister, ho answered that it was not hi s brother he had killed, nor his sister he had struck; but when it was said that he had killed the Evil One,' a sort of grim smile seemed to contract the muscles of his face. Several times he left the bar as if to go out, and had to be forcibly compelled to remain in court; and it was only by force that he could be made to quit the cage, and re-enter the ' prison van. His violence is such that he is continually handcuffed; but, nevertheless, seems to perfectly com prehend the position in which he is placed."—Guernsey Star. _ _ • d' THE LOST LORDS' Joint/um—We are authorise to state, with reference to paragraphs which appeared in The Sun last week, headed " Recovery of the Lost Jour nals of the House of Lords," that the originals of the Journals of' the House of Lords are in the custody of the proper officer of the Parliamentary-office, House of Lords, and have not been out of his custody.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT FROM CHLOROFORM.—AII accident of a very melancholy nature occurred on Thurs day afternoon to Dr. Adams, resident physician in the Clyde-street Hospital. It appears that on the previous day, having occasion to make use of a quantity of chlo roform, lie took several doses himself to try its strength, but without any serious consequence; however, having yesterday afternoon repeated this dangerous experiment, and incautiously increased the dose to a very large degree, he no sooner applied it to his lips than he imme diately fell back and expired.
