PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 28.—The only point worthy of notice to-day in connexiotio with the Admiralty visit is the substitution of the Cormorant steam-sloop for the Sphynx, as the appointment of Commander H. Schomberg, the latter vessel having sustained such extensive injuries by her collision with the merchant barque Princess as to require some weeks' repair. With regard to the interchange of the courtesy of the royal salute with the Russian frigate on Sunday, we stated that a poor Marine sentinel had been saddled with the blame of not " reporting" the Rus sian's compliment. We had no time, as we stated, at the late moment at which the information was im parted to us, to inquire into its authenticity. We now find it was an experienced officer of Marines on duty at the main guard, who stands charged with the grave offence of not reporting the Russian compli ment, and has been placed under arrest accordingly. — Times.

Some three years ago we predicted success for the famous " Conscript Songs ;" we were right wherever the English language is spoken there the " Jean nette" songs are sung, and we expect that the same good fortune awaits " Blanche and Lisette," for the melody is extremely pretty, quaint, and original, and the poetry has that " touch of nature which makes the whole world kin."—Post free, 2s.

A I 3 K I A tir One half the world are desolately single, and the other ;apposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a ,ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em -:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea A caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un omprosiug hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, sod broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness mi sosisl content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set lenient. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item to the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wennd more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

From this point she completed the survey of the South American coast as high up as Panama Bay, by Fe bruary, 1848. " Here the Herald received orders from England to proceed to Kamschatka, to seek out a proper position for, and to establish and provision her Britannic Ma jesty's ship Plover, that she might be in readiness to communicate with and relieve the wants of Sir John Franklin, in case he should succeed in finding his way through from the east. After a very rough and tedious passage, during which she was towed some 600 miles by her Britannic Majesty's steam frigate Samson, she arrived in ninety days at Petropaulov skoie, in Asiatic Russia. After recruiting and re ceiving every possible civility and attention from the Russians, she crossed the sea of Kamschatka to Norton's Sound, in Russian America, to procure interpreters and baiders (light seal-skin boats), the latter of which she failed to procure. This employed her till August, 1848. " From Norton's Sound the Herald proceeded northward, and in September anchored off the Island of Chamisso, in Kotzebue's Sound, in about 67 deg. N. lat. Here she remained about a month, cruising about and exploring the bay; but failed to hear any thing of Sir John Franklin and his expedition, or of the Plover, with NI. horn she expected to fall in, and to establish whom in winter quarters she was dispatched. " The Plover left these islands, it will be recol lected, on the 24th of August last, too late in the sea son, probably, to reach her rendezvous before the Herald left. She has not since been heard from at these islands. " From Kotzebue's Sound the Herald returned to Petropaulovskoie, and after a short stay left again on the 21st of October, after having again experienced the hospitality and kind attentions of the Russian officers and others of that place. . MO NDSEY MURDER. Another day ha s p as t, and still the arrest of, Manning has no t b een accomplished. It might almost now be believed that he has placed hiinself bed oral the reach of pursuit, were it not the. Ow sf,f the police authorities' continue unabated, and that ti'e heads of the detective force, while obser% ing the strictest secresy as to the steps taken by them, express themselves most confidently as to the result. YE ster day several constables were dispatched to Southamp ton, but we have been unable to ascertain whether any, tidings have,been received from Jersey. In point of fact nothing that can at present be stated as to Manning's s whereabouts leads to any certain conclusion on the and with this preliminary we may mention. that Inspector Field was dispatched on Monday to Ply mouth in consequence of a communication received by the Commissioners of Police, stating that there was every reason to believe that Manning was on board the Constant emigrant ship, bound to Australia. Yesterday fortnight a person, corresponding in every respect with Manning's description, calltd at the office of the shipping agent for the purpose of taking his passage to Australia, and when told the price would be 15/., he said he would pay 131., being all the money he had in the world. He went away, and said he would call again in the course of the day to see whether they would take the 131. The gen- . tleman whom he saw on that occasion does not recol lect seeing the person again, but he has every reason to believe that the party referred to is on board the vessel, from the fact of a person paying the sum at the office for his passage. It was expected that the Constant would be at Plymouth yesterday, or to-day, and should Manning be on board he will be immedi ately apprehended'by Field. The following details connected with the murder and its supposed perpetrators may be found interest ing. It appear s th a t M r . M ore y , t h e super i n t en d en t, of the Edinb urg h po li ce, was prepare d to f urn i s h th e jury, at th e i nquest on M onday, with i nformat i on respecting Mrs. M ann i ng , which the Coroner refused to allow him t o g i ve . I t appears that in the course of a convers a ti on b e b a d with Mrs. Manning, he told her that it was asserted that the Murder had taken place on Thursday ni g ht, t h e 9 t h of August. She said, " Well, if a m ur d er was committed in the house on Thursday, it must have been during my absence, for I went ' ou t at f our o'clock, and did not return till late in th e evening." M r . M oxey sa i d, " You are ' charged with going to Mr. O'Connor's lodgings, and stealing his property on the Friday, and it is stated' that it was _ impossible for you to have got at that property without Mr. O'Connor's keys, which he always carried with him." Mrs. Manning said, " Well, I know nothing about the keys, but hearing he was missing I certainly went to his house and took' the property, which was my own." Mrs. Manning, while sitting in the charge-room, at Southwark police-court on Friday last, was ob.: served by one of the constables to be reading the bill offering a reward for her husband. The constable, asked her if sha knew where Mr. Manning was. She said, "No; but it's no use your looking after him, for he's a long way from here ; in fact he is out of the country." One of the female watchers asked. her whether she intended to have any person to defend her. She said she did not care about a solicitor, but' she was determined, if possible, to have Mr. Cock burn, who conducted the defence of Poole and Nightingale at Exeter. There appears to be no doubt that arrangements were made for perpetrating the murder on Wednesday, the Bth inst. It will be recollected that Mr. O'Con nor was on that day invited to dine at Minver-place,- but for some cause at present unexplained he did not go until the evening, when he was accompanied by Mr. Welsh, which circumstance, of course, prevented them from carrying out their design. The supposition that such was their intention is borne out by, the following letter from Manning to Miss Massey; sister to the witness of that name, in which it will be seen that he strongly impresses upon her the necessity of letting him have the money he claimed by Wednes day, the Bth inst. " London, August 5,3, Minver-place, New Weston-street, Bermondsey. " Dear Miss,—l called at:your brother's lodgings on Saturday evening, and he informs me that he in tends to go home on Monday. The reason, I be lieve, for his delay in London is, he could not register. Respecting the 10s. I paid to Mr. O'Connor, your brother knows he was indebted to him for that amount, and Mr. O'Connor called several times at my house for the money, which I paid him, knowing that your brother had no money. If you wish for a receipt from Mr. O'Connor I can obtain one from him immediately. I trust you will not fail in forwarding me the money on Wednesday.—l am, Miss, yours most respectfully, • ,1: • instralasis, . • • • ••• • • • • Britsh N Orth American Ceylon .. • ....• ..

" From the north, at the approach of winter, the Herald again turned her prow towards the south, and after surveying the island of Guadaloupe, which is about 100 miles to the north of Mazatlan, arrived at the latter place on the 21st of November. From Mazatlan she continued down the coast, touching at San Bias, and arrived at Panama in January, 1849. Continued the survey of the coast from Point Mala, the northern point of Panama Bay, to Point Barica, the southern point of Costa Rica, in lat. 8 deg. north. " This completes the survey of the entire west coast of South America by the British Government; and, in fact, the whole South American continent has now been surveyed by the British and French—by the latter on the east coast as far south as the River Plate, and by the former from the Plate round to eight degrees north in the Pacific. "From Costa Rica the Herald came direct to these islands, and arrived here on the Bth of May. After a short stay here, she sailed again on the 19th for °tab eho attowsrf tho year, which she did not then succeed in doing. " It was not a little gratifying to hear it asserted 'by the officer of the ship, who very obligingly com municated the above information, that of all the places touched at on the cruise they had found none that equalled Honolulu as a pleasant and agreeable place, for its intelligent society, and for the peaceful and orderly character of the town. May such commen dations ever be merited. " We have no means of knowing exactly, but have estimated the distance sailed by the Herald since leaving England at 50,000 to 60,000 miles. And now, instead of turning her course homeward, after a cruise of nearly four years, she again launches out lamong the icebergs of the Arctic sea, in pursuit of an object that does honour to humanity, and reflect great credit on the Government that sends her forth. We hope that success may attend her, and that she may enjoy the satisfaction of affording relief to an expe dition that has awakened the most lively interest and sympathy of the whole civilized world. " Surveying voyages, like the one in which the Herald has been engaged, are not usually attended by those brilliant incidents that attract the notice of the world, but their results and benefits are chiefly reduced to practical value in the form of maps and charts; and while laboriew, and self-denying to the officers and men engaged in them, are equally creditable to those nations that sustain them for the benefit of all com mercial countries. " The Pandora, which has been connected with the Herald in her surveying cruise, is now here, and will sail in a day or two for England. _ _ "We have seen it intimated in some of the Ame rican prints, that, under the cover of surveying, she had, in fact, been engaged, in smuggling. We have good authority for contradicting this assertion, and for expressing our disbelief of it. As a national vessel, she was under obligation to render assistance to British merchants; and doubtless, during the troubles that have occurred upon the west coast during the past few years, she may have thus been so em ployed. But that a British Government vessel is justly chargeable with the crime of smuggling, we have no idea whatever. England has too much trouble in preventing the violation of her own excise laws,. not to refrain from allowing such a b r each, b y one of her commissioned vessels, of the laws of another kingdom. Self-interest and self-respect, had she no higher motive, would prevent such an infringement of the rights of others. Iler rights England has no occasion to wave or secure by evasion." RECOVERY OF THE LOST JOURNALS OF THE ilotiSE OF LORDS —lt may be recollected that at the great conflagration of the Houses of Parliament, which took place in 1834, several books and important papers were either lost or consumed, amongst which were some of the manuscript journals of the House of Lords. Within these few days, however, it has been ascertained that a portion of the latter at least was not consumed, and their existence was brought to light in the most sin gular manner. It appears a few days since that a gen tleman residing at Wulworth was passing along the Walworth-road when his attention was attracted by some old books, &e., in the shop of Mr. Terry, cheesemonger, at the corner of Amelia-street, and which the latter had purchased as waste paper. On closer inspection he dis covered. no less than twelve books which appeared to be :ho journals or daily minutes of the proceedings of the House of Lords, comprising the following dates:-1780, 1781, 1787, 1788, 1789, 1790,1791, 1792, 1798,1799,1801, 1803, 1805, 1806. The gentleman accordingly, on Monday purchased one of the apparent journals, with which he repaired to the library of the House of Lords to learn if it was genuine, when some of the parties there instantly detained it, and having been informed where the rest were, yesterday morning three mess( ngers proceeded to Mr. Terry's, and purchased the whole 12, which r really proved to be the actual journals of the abov e n dates. The price they paid for these import ant docu ments was merely that of common waste paper, account being no The more than 11. 15s. fur nearly oonseomcwo t time since, given by Mr. Terry is, that h pur chased them, with nearly a ton w;eig_ht of other papers, at a sale of the effiets of the late Mr. Croft, one of the lib rar ians of the House of Lords., How they came t o rema in so long in that gentleman s possession, or t o h a mingled with his private effects, is at present i nvo l ve d i n m ystery. It has not yet been intimated to th e gentle man who was instrumental in the recovery of the above, whether he will receive any reward for his valuable in formation. GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY,—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at their offices, 1, Lombard -street; John Wilkin, Esq., in the chair. A report and statement of the accounts for the half-year ending the 30th of June last were read and receive( with mach approbation; by these it ap peared that the affairs of the company continued in a most prosperous state. The usual dividend, free of in come-tax, was drclared, and thanks being voted to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated. OPENING OF THE COAL EXC HANGE.—We are authorised to contradict a statement which has appeared in several of the newspapers, to the effect that the New Ccal Exchange will be opened on the 3d of September. The building will not be completed at that time, and it will not be publicly opened until it is finished. -‘‘ FREDERICK GEORGE MANNING. " Miss Massey, Swanstone-hall, Derbyshire."

Manning, it appears, had endeavoured to raise from Bainbridge, the broker, a few days prior to the murder, 101. on Massey's hospital certificate, but Mr. Bainbridge refused to have anything to do with it. The following facts as to the connexion of the Mannings with Poole and Nightingale have not yet been made public : As soon as the extraordinary robberies of the mails on the Great Western Railway, on the 2d of January last, were communicated to the Post-office authorities, they immediately employed two detectives (Langley and Field) to investigate the matter, with a view to ascertain whether any other persons besides Poole and Nightingale (who were then in custody) were impli cated in the matter. These officers satisfied them selves beyond a doubt that the robberies were con- , cocted at the White Hart Inn, Taunton, some three months previously; but that Poole, Nightingale, and 'Manning were foiled in carrying out their objrct by Mrs. Manning, who it appears had had a violent quarrel with her husband, and out of revenge com municated to Mr. Hive, the brewer, and another gentleman at Taunton, the intention to rob the mails, at the same time disclosing to them haw it was to to done, and the disguises, &c., the parties intended to adopt on the occasion. Before the robberies were perpetrated Manning and his wife had disposed of the White Hart Inn. Of course the robberies, when they became known at Taunton, excited suspicion, as they were perpetrated precisely in the man ner Mrs. Manning had described. When the officers made inquiries at Taunton, they could not succeed in finding any person who knew the Mannings' whereabout, as they had disappeared from that place most mysteriously. After several weeks' search they were traced to a lodging in the Mile-end road, near to where Mr. O'Connor lived. The officers on going to the house, found Mr. and Mrs. Manning, whom they at once made acquainted with the object of their mission, and requested permission to search the apartments. Mrs. Manning said, " Oh, by all means; here are our boxes ; you are at perfect liberty to examine all we have." The officers did so, but nothing was discovered relating to the robberies. Mrs. Manning denied that she had ever given any information as to the robberies, and when interro gated next day on the same point by Mr. Peacock, the Post-office solicitor, she had no re collection nit o e f having e so. It app e ars that Manning has . respecting p s e e v n e s r a a t l e d r otFerec. way ro b afineiss,h info!r ed atio h n e re w s paes fur some e g s o o t. . t l h t e is scrip ~,fesutnadtedintlhiaist wManning possessiondeposited i n Messrs.
