The tint come, said he, when peace will no - b mt - irtat e but by the people. To what end h,s peace continued for thirty-three yelrs, if we aye not to reduce our armies ? Au army and navy are not the real power of a nation. What country could attack America with only 18,000 men ? Let France develop her natural resources, and she would be more powerful than with tin army of half a million of men. It is . cotnmerc- , , labour, capital that are the sources of power. England is d , pendent for its steam navy on the contracts which its Government forms with the mercantile st-am navy of England. Let France consider this. She should . make these resources of power available, and she would find her interests im mensely benefited. In following a p-ac - Jul policy she would b2corne every day more p twerful than with h-r armies. On the vart of hi= countrymen in England, he hailed the intercommunication of the too peoples. lie had r ,presentel durinz twf try years in the Houle of Commons successively a coturn3reial, a manufacturing, and an agricultural otrnmuitity. fie could as-ure the meeting that in all those commu - t;tios the most arnictala feelings xiited with - regard to France. The lines of Virgil, which once might -have been applied, are appli cable no longer— Litora lien ihas contraria, 11:eta:us nir7ae, Anna aratis." Mr. Ewart then quoted the words of Mr. Pitt on intro ducing the treaty with Fr inc, in the Metre of toin nion,, in 1787, against the our posed foaling of heredi tary anitro,ity bAween France and Eaglat.d. ll:•nca ftrth diplomacy would not bind us together with treaties of paper. The populations would be bound together by treaties of the heart. Yet it was not to Frame merely that these questions referred, but to all the human race. It was almost too trite a citation to make, but he found • the words on their billets of admission. lie meant the familiar words, now European worth, of their celebrated French poet, Beranger-- " Peuples, lormez une sainte alliance Et connea vous lei main." I will give you, said Mr. Ewart, a like quotation from our Scotch poet, Barns, who wrote them more than half a century before Bt ranger wrote his— " Then come the day, and come it must, For battles, wars, and all that; When man to man the wide world o'er, Shall brothers be for all that." Let this sentiment be echoed alike whether it arise in this capital of civilization or on the wore distant moun tains of Scotland; and let us all say of it, in the words of Paul Sarpi, as applied to his country—" Esto per petua." The lion. Speaker retired amidst loud and continued cheers. M. BesT - e,representative, delivered an address in support of the principle under discussion. Mr. COBDEN, M.P., who was. received with loud cheers, then ascended the tribune, and spoke, in French, as follows:—I join with all my heart in the wish ex pressed by one of the speakers, that we could hare one universal language. Nevertheless, lam a little afraid that there might be a dispute, even among the friends of peace, as to which of the thousand dialects of the world ought to prevail, and that oceans of ink, at least, would be shed before it was decided. In the mean time, let every country enjoy in peace its own dictionary and grammar; and it is on this principle, recollecting that I am in the metropolis of France, that I prefer to throw myself upen the well-known politeness of a French at:- dienc, whilst I address them a few words in broken French, rather than be guilty of an act of foreign inter vention, even in the matter of laeguage. So much has been said, and so well said, by the eloquent speakers who have preceded me, that I do not feel it necessary to add a word to the general argument, but I should wish to draw your attention for a moment to the manner in which the Governments of your country and mine have augmented their standing armaments, in mutual rivalry and defiance of each other. I speak only of our navies and coast defences, for we do not pretend to enter into competition with you in respect to your army. Do not be alarmed, Mr. President, I am not going to infringe upon the wise regulations of the Congress, which forbid our alluding to the politics of the day. Unfortunately, my grievance extends buck for many years, and im plicates several Ministries in both countries, for your present Government must certainly be ex ems led from all responsibility in the matter. During the lost 13 years you and we have been con• stautly increasing our navies, adding to our coast de fences, enlarging our arsenals, building new basins for steam-vessels, and constructing fresh harbours. No sooner is the keel of another line- of-battle ship laid down in your dockyards than forthwith fresh hammers begin to resound at Portsmouth. A new forge has scarcely begun to work at Cnerbourg when immediately the sparks ate seen to fly from fresh anvils at Plymouth, and vice versa. The consequence has been that the cost of our navies has been increased 50 per cent, in a time of peace. My first objection to this is its supreme folly, for as both countries increase their naval strength in equal proportions, neither party has gained anything by the change, the only result being a pure waste to the amount of the augmentation. My next objection is to the ex treme hypocrisy of this system, for at the very time that all this increase of armament bas been going on our re spective Governments have been exchanging assurances of mutual feelings of friendship and goodwill. It these professions were made in sincerity and truth, where was the necessity for more ships of war and more coast de fences? An individual dues not cover himself with armour in the presence of his friends, unless indeed he happen to be mad. But my greatest objecti n to [these vast armament: is, that they tend to excite dangerous animosities between the two naioi.s, and to perpetuate fear, Leered, aed suspicion —pas sions which find their gratification is stinctively in war. And here is the great reaion why this Congress desires, in the terms of the motion now before it. to bring the nations into a system of disarmament. Now, low shall this be accomplished? Why, by a ach ing our respective Governments this little arithmetical problem, of which in times past they seem to have been ignorant—namely, that if two nations are both armed in a time of peace up to a certain point, say six, they aro not relatively stronger than if their armaments stood at three, and that they would be equally strong relatively if they disarmed altogether. But you, the tax payers of France, will see that there is an immense difference to your pockets. Do nut, however, let us deceive ourselves with the idea that we shall easily succeed in teaching this little arithmetical lesson to our Governments. I speak from long experience when I say that no men are so difficult to teach as professional statesmen. They are so devoted to routine, and so fortified in self sufficiency, that they do not easily believe that any wisdom exists in the world excepting that which radiates from their bureaus. Do you suppose, then, that they will listen readily to the advice of this Congress? On the contrary, they are at this moment laughing at us as Utopists, theo rists, and dreamers; and yet I think the result of their system, in a financial point of view, ought to make them more modest. I ask the Governments of Europe, " Can you continue your present financial system for ten years longer?" With scarcely one exception they must answer, "No." Is it, then, Utopian on the part of this Congress to arouse their attention to the subject— to point to the great gulf which yawns before them—to show that the danger of financial ruin, which they lose sight of, is far more imminent than the risk of foreign attack, which they as constantly dread, and so diligently provide against ? Even in this, the lowest point of view, as a question merely of finance, you stand justified before the world for holding this congress of nations. It is time that the people interfered, and the Governments of the world ought to tender you their thanks for having by this fraternal shaking of hands across the Atlantic and the Channel facilitated that process of disarmament, which is called for alike upon every principle of huma nity and sound policy. The lion. Speaker was constantly interrupted during this speech by applause, and at the close was must enthu siastically cheered for several minutes. He was then called on to give the substance of his address in English, which was equally well received. The PRESIDENT then put the second resolution to the meeting. which was carried enthusiastically. The Pre sident then stated that he would propose to defer until to-morrow the 3d and 4th resolutions, and that he would propose to take the 5,h, 6th, and 7th resolutions, which would not appear to involve any discussion. The resolutions were then put seriatim, and carried. FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE AT THE NEW COAL EXCHANGE.—Yesterday an accident of a frightful cha racter took place at the New Coal Exchange, Lower Thames-street, City, to a man named Joseph Ramsey, aged 2S years, Thu unfortunate man was iu the service of Mes , rs.

The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable object is BOWL A N D S' K AL Y D O R, so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation. Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and induces that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which .ts delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan, Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa rency of complexion.

The naval com manders would not risk their persons in cruising about the sea, while, if anything went wrong on shore, the affair was immediately hushed up by the military autho rities. In future the higher functionaries are expected to send in an authentic account of every occurrence. Any neglect of duty on the part of the officers of either service will be immediately punished, according to the nature of the case, with the cangue or with banishment; while meritorious officers who have proved their gallantry and zeal by capturing four robbers will be promoted to the first vacancy, without being obliged to repair to the capital. The greatest impartiality must be shown in the recommendation of officers, and in denouncing those who are neglectful or inefficient. There are other defects not expressly mentioned, but hinted at. The pay of the military officers, for instance, is very small, and they indemnify themselves by sending the soldiers home on furlough, and pocketing the pay; so that in case of an emergency probably not one-fourth of the men could be collected. The common soldiers have generally a piece of ground, on the cultivation of which they mostly depend fur subsistence, and, their attention being thus divided, must necessarily have its effect in rendering them less proficient in their military evolutions ; besides which, being chiefly composed of the very lowest class, when collected in great numbers, they frequently mutiny, and have even been known in presence of an enemy to refuse to fight unless promised a certain sum of money for doing so.—China Mail. OPENING OF THE NEW COAL-EXCHANGE.—This splendid bilding, situate in Upper Thames street, being now completed, will be publicly inaugurated by the Lord Mayor on the Id of September, with great ceremony. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. THE ADJOURNED INQUEST. Henry Barnes (continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday) said—l found a cash-box at the top of the box on Monday, and it was unlocked. There were three compartments in it, and I was told it was the box in which Mr. O'Connor kept his money. On lifting up a kind of tin-case I found a lot of memorandums—l 0 U's. It was in consequence of the state in which I found the box, and the absence of Mr. O'Connor, that we made the subsequent search for the body. We found in the drawers a bushel of letters. Some of them were from Mrs. Manning, but none of them of recent date. We did not take possession of them. James Burton, 272 M, next examined, said, on Tuesday night, the 15th, about half-past eight o'clock, in consequence of Mr. Mead and two other gentleman, friends of the deceased, coming to the Stonesgate-station in the Borough, I was ordered to go to 3, Minver place. Finding the door locked, I went through the adjoining house, and got over the back wall. Mr. Mead in the meantime got the key of the front door, went in, and let me in at the back door. Mr. Mead and the other two gentlemen looked over the house. From the appearance I should suppose that the house had been left in a very confused state. In the front kitchen there was a lot of linen, and in the back kitchen, over the stones underneath which the deceased was found, a large portmanteau was lying open, and in it, and round about it, was a quantity of female wearing apparel and a railway guard's coat. They about covered the two stones. In the other rooms there were a few things lying about. Nothing was found that the friends of the deceased thought belonged to O'Connor. At that time we did not know who bad taken the furni ture away. No trace of the missing man was found, and we had no suspicion that the body was there. We set a watch on the house, and the next morning, at eight o'clock, a man came and attempted to unlock the door. We had put down the latch in order to prevent the door being opened from the outside by means of a key. This gentleman, who was Mr. Bain. bridge, walked to the station house to ascertain the reason why he could not get in. I followed him. I did not know him by name at that time. Mr. Coleman had told him, I believe, that an officer had been into the house, and he wanted to know the reason why he was prevented entering, stating that he had purchased the goods in the house for 131. He said he had bought, with the rest, a railway coat, some crockery, a box, and some other things, which be wished to fetch away. He said he had nothing to do with the linen. Man ning, he said, had just left his own house. and that he had lodged with him two nights. He ac companied me to Minver-place and showed me the things which ho claimed, and which I allowed him to take away. Among them was a shovel, which I handed to him myself, but I did not observe anything par ticular about it. I could not identify it. On the Friday following, about twelve o'clock in the day, Barnes and I went again to Minver place with the resolution of making a thorough search. We went to the back kitchen, and I was standing on the stone nearest the window. I said to Barnes " the stones look fresh," and he took out his knife and tried the joints of the two stones referred to, and also the joints of the other stones. The mortar of the first stone smelt sour. I tried them myself also, and we then proposed to take them up. We had received no information from any one to take them up. We removed the two stones. They ran parallel with each other, and were, together, five feet long and two feet wide. On removing them Barnes called my attention to the untradesmanlike way in which they were laid, the mortar lying in a bed in the middle of the stone, instead of being placed round the sides. On removing the mortar, we found the ground under. neath trod down very hard indeed. Barnes then dug down with the shovel, and called my attention to a piece of rag. After digging about ten inches down he discovered what he thought was a stone but which turned out to be the toe of a man. He re moved some more of the earth, and showed the foot of a man. I then went to the station-house to procure further assistance ; I returned with Mr. Yates and Mr. Perkins, two inspectors. I then saw a further portion of a human body. By the direction of Mr. Yates I went for the friends of a gen tleman of the name of O'Connor, who was miss ing. I found Mr. Flynn and Mr. O'Connor, the brother of the deceased, who returned with me When we returned the body was lying in the front kit chen; it was the body of a man. I did not take par ticular notice of the body, but I should say it had been dead some time. The place where it was found was about four feet in depth. The body was at the time I speak of covered with lime, and it had not been washed. I have been engaged in doing something further to ascertain the nature of the death of the deceased, but 1 can give no iniormation with respect to it of my own knowledge. I took possession of a hoe and some other things when I was shown the furniture, which was purchaseu by me. Bainbridge. The garden was Excavated after the body was found, to see ifany article of dress could be found. A black stock which, it was said, was similar to one worn by the deceased, was found in the back bed-room. There were no stains upon it. By the jury—No stains of any kind were seen about the house. By the CORONER--I saw a small perforation in the ceiling, which might have been caused in putting up or letting down of a bedstead. By a Juryman—lt did not look as if it had been done by a bullet. By the CORONER—I attach no importance to that circumstance. I did not know personally that the pre mises bad been occupied by the Mannings. Mr. Samuel Lockwood, surgeon, of No. 6, Trinity square, Newington, was then sworn. He said— lam not in practise at present. On Friday fort night, about half past one, I was in the neighbourhood of New Weston-street, and in consequence of informa tion I received I went to No. 3 Minver-place. I an nounced myself as a surgeon. I saw two of the police men at the door, and they admitted me directly. I proceeded into the back kitchen and there saw that the slabs had been removed, and that some earth had been thrown up. There were some per sons in the kitchen at the time. I saw the feet of a person exposed, and from the position I could scarcely see which way the body waa laid. I remained until the ground was excavated. I then noticed that the heels were bent against the haunches or thighs, and firmly tied down ; that position would give rise to the exposure of the feet. The head was considerably lower than the feet. I assisted in removing the dirt, being afraid lest any injury should be done to the head. I felt a very extensive frac ture on the superior part of the head, on the crown, rather backwards, so large that I could introduce my two fingers into it. The scalp was of course injured. Some mention was made about the person who was miss ing having false teeth. I bad myself seen the description given in aplacard respecting Mr. Patrick O'Connor. There was no article of clothing upon the body. I then took the dirt from the head and the face, and partially raised the head. I put my hand into the mouth and I pulled out a whole set of teeth. They were demanded by Mr. Slow, the summoning officer, and, after washing them, I delivered them to him. Shortly afterwards the body was raised, and, in my presence, it was removed into the front kitchen. I noticed that a considerable quantity of lime was round the body. I took off some of it ; it was the body of a man. It was decomposing, and it was impossible to say how long it had been dead. I examined it after it was raised. Mr. Olding, an other surgeon, was there at the time. At the back of the head, on the right side, I found another fracture. Mr. Olding made a remark about a prominence on the eye. I noticed it also, and cut down it and extracted a large slug or bullet, weighing nearly three drachms. I have that bullet. (The bullet which was here produced was a very large one.) There was a hole in the frontal bone and a fracture behind, as I have already described, so that the ball must have gone right through the head. I have assisted in making a post-mortem examination of the body, and have formed an opinion as to bow it came there. Nothing further took place at that time. No injury to the head was likely to arise from the excavation. Mr. C. Slow, summoning officer, lived at Debenham terrace, Dockhead. Went on Tuesday, in const quence of information, to 3, Minver-place, which is in the parish of St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey. Saw the body of a person there, lying on the face in a hole in the back kitchen. Sent for some ropes, placed them under him, got a shutter, and removed him to the front kitchen. It was a male person. Saw Mr. Lockwood examining the body. Saw the teeth being washed by Mr. Lock wood.—(Witness produced and identified them.) Mr. D. Gr a h am , a n o ffi cer in the Customs, residing at 6, Lincoln-place, New North-road, Hoxton, had known the deceased Mr. O'Connor for ten or twelve years. Saw him last on the night of the 9th inst., about a quarter to five o'clock, about the middle of London-bridge. Wit ness was accompanied by Mr. Keating. Saw nothing unusual about O'Connor. He was in good health. Could not describe his dress, but he had an umbrella with him. He had a black hat. Could not say that he wore a watchguard that day. Would say be had a black stock. He usually wore one. On meeting the deceased it struck witness he was go i ng to M ann i ng ' s. Wi tness sa id , " Are you going to Manning's or Maria?"—could not sly which. Did not know where Manning lived. He made no reply, but took out a letter; said he was going to dinner at five o'clock. He handed the letter to witness. Did not read it a ll , b ut read a part. Had seen the hand writing before. The signature was "Maria." The letter said, "We shall b e g l ad to see you, " or " W e ex pect you to dinner." Did not read the part which said when. Asked " Who are we?' " Took it for granted that " we" meant Manning and his wife. Saw Manning once about two years a go . Di d not know him by name. Saw his wife about two years ago in O'Connor's house, and since that t ime had seen th e m frequently walking a bout together in the street, and wa i t i ng at th e d oc k. Did not know the position of Mrs. Manning and O'Con nor. They did not seem more intimate than ordinary friends when he saw them in O'Connor's house. Had s een them arm in arm,. and consider e d t h em to b e inti mate. .Admired the signature, which was only "Maria," O'Connor spoke of her as " Maria." Has beard O'Con nor call her Mrs. Manning. Could not undertake to swear whose signature that was. Was in the same-de pertinent wi.h the deceased. Was at Nicholson's- wharf, and the deceased at the London Decks. Their duties would not clash. Did not know O'Connor was e rniesing till Saturday. Did not see him after Saturday night, At half-past two o'clock the proceedings were sus pended for half an hour. The jury having re assemb.ed, Mr. George Odlin, residing at 152, Iligh-itteee; Bo rough, St. George's parish, surgeon of the M envision, deposed that he was sent for on Friday, about three o'clock. Was called on to go to 3, Minver-place, where he saw the body of a dead man lying on his taco iu'a hole in the back kitchen. The legs were tied up in a reflex position, and the body was covered with lime. The sur face of the body was almost as white as paper frond the lime adhering to it. Examined the body in Part as it lay, and detected that the cranium was fractured, Saw the body removed to the front kitchen, where - witnees examined the front part of the head, and discovered that some substance lay under the integuments over the right eye. Could more it. Having pointed it out to Mr. Lockwood, Mr. Lockwood procured a lancet, made an incision, and extracted a substance which he put into the hands of witness, and which proved to be a leaden bullet. Did not further examine the head at that time. Discovered no other injuries on the body as likely to lead to death. Has opened the body, assisted by Mr. Lockwood. Examined it externally, but found no other injuries except those he had mentioned. Has opened the head and abdomen. Did not open the chest, there being no external injury. The CORONER wished to take the opportunity of stating, for the information, not only of the gentleman under examination, but of other medical gentlemen who might be present, that when an order was given fur the opening of a body no viscera ought to be left unopened. Examination continued—Opened the head first. Re moved a great portion of the hair. Examined the head externally. Ile found several severe wounds; As .many as 18 altogether, many of them deeper than hthers e op the scalp at the back, and on the top of the head; most of the wounds, but not all, appeared to have been inflicted by some blunt instrument. A sharp instrument would have cut the bone. The'wounds appeared as if inflicted by the back or sharp part of a hammer, such as a brick layer's hammer, a large hammer without a--division, and an inch and a half wide. Did not discover a distinct bullet hole by which the bullet found over the right eye had penetrated. Reflected the scalp and exposed the bone. Found the cranium fractured in a great many places, and separated into many pieces. Had some of those pieces, which he produced. Sixteen of the pieces produced formed part of the cranium of the man. There were more pieces uncollected, besides large fissures or cracks, that he might have taken. Tne head was not detached from the body. The skull was broken within half an inch of the bullet. At the back part of the head saw a place which was very dark, so dark that he could not wash off the colouring. It was an extraneous sub stance, not the result of decompositi&n. That was at the back of the head. The appearance was dark, like that of powder. There was an aperture within an inch of the black appearance. Could not trace the bullet. The brain was in a fluid state, perfectly decomposed. The bullet could not have entered at the front, there being no aperture. Opened the abdomen, about which we found nothing unnatural. 'Sent his son to Dr. Taylor, Guy's Hospital, to have the stomach analyzed. He has not male any analysis of the contents of the stomach, not feeling himself capable of making it. He had a bottle of laudanum (which was produced and identified). The extensive fractures of the skull were sufficient to account for the man's death, although he had been drugged or shot. Was satisfied they were of themselves, or any one of them, sufficient to produce death. Under the scalp over the skull was eechymosis, so that those frac :ures were inflicted during vitality, and were quite suffi cient to cause death. Mr. Lockwood re-examined—Assisted Mr. Odlin in examining the body. On the external part of the head or the scalp noticed wounds, both which might have been inflicted by a weapon very sharp and very blunt. Tne wounds were many of them horizontal, but were not all alike, appearing as it inflicted by a hammer— the opposite sides of a large hammer. The wounds were principally on the right side of the head. Inferred that they were inflicted when the man was not in an erect position. Has seen the cranium, which is ex tensively fractured on the right side. Mr. Odlin raised a large piece of bone, and took the pieces produced, which were all loose and quite detached. There must have been numerous blows. Endeavoured to trace the bullet to its source, but could not. There was no wound in front of the skull. The fractures were quite sufficient to destroy lite. Is of opinion that those wounds were inflicted before vitality ceased to exist. James Colem-n e builder, residing at 1, Minver-place— Knows the house No. 3, of which he is the owner. On Tuesday evening last week he heard, when he came home, between five and six o'clock, that a gentleman had called who stated that the Mannings hid left. Did not go to the house till about two hours after. when he found it unoccupied. Saw a men come out as he was standing and making inquiries. Spoke to the man, who refused to give either name or udde. es, but asked who witness was, and whether they owed any rent ; to which witness answered, " No ;" and the man replied, "Then ru have no claim to the property." That house was inhabited by Frederick George Man ning and his wife, who were the tenants and had occu pied the house since Lady-day. They were quarterly. tenants. Could not stop the furniture, of which the broker took possession. Does not think he ever was in Manning'a house after they entered. The agreement (which witness produced) was signed by Frederick George Manning, in presence of witness, who also signed the paper. Would know that person again. Would know Manning's wife again. The reference, which was to Mr. O'Connor, was received by the son of witness. Has seen two women at the window. Dues not know whether the Mannings had, or had not, a do mestic servant, or ever had a lodger. William Massey, a medical student, living at Swark stone, Derbyshire, deposed as follows :—I left my lodgings at 3, Minver-place a month last Saturday. I had lodged there nine or ten weeks. My landlord was Frederick George Manning. His family consi.ted of his wife, Maria elanning, whose name was De Roux. I have seen that name upon a handkerchief and upon some linen. I should know them both again. I took my meals with them frequently. They did not keep a domestic servant whilst I was there, but they sometimes bad a servant who came to clean the house. I have seen no one there but Mr. Patrick O'Connor. I knew him, having been introduced to him by a friend. I have dined with de ceased there three times. He appeared to be on friendly terms with Mrs. Manning. I have seen Manning twice at his own house. I have accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Manning to his lodgings. There did not appear to be any improper intimacy between Mr. O'Connor and Mrs. Manning. I had no suspicion that anything improper was going on between them. I have heard bosh Mr. and Mrs. Manning speak of the deceased as a man of property, and I have heard them say that he was worth 20,000/. Whilst I was living at Minver-place, I have had conversation with both Mr. and Mrs. Manning re specting the deceased. One night, about tight o'clock, when I got home I found Manning in my room ; he asked me what drug would produce stupefaction or partial intoxication, so as to cause a per son to put his hand to paper. He said his wife had been to the docks, and had seen Mr. O'Connor in a state of intoxication. I believe Mrs. Manning was present when this conversation took place. I heard from them at this time that she had gone with him to his lodgings, and that she had seen his will, in which he had made over all or a portion of his property to her. When I entered the house, and before this conversation, I heard that some disagreement had taken place between Man ning and Mr. O'Connor respecting the latter refusing to take lodgings in Manning's house. I understood that Manning brought an action in the County Court for money, but that O'Connor would not let it go to trial, and paid the amount. Manning had on another occasion asked me what part of the head was the most dangerous to bit, and I said a blow under the ear was likely to be attended with the most fatal results. On another occasion he spoke about Rush, and asked me if I thought a murderer would go to heaven? I replied no, a n d quoted a part of the Scriptures on the subject. All his conversation was distinguished with great levity. He men tioned to me that Mr. O'Connor had got drunk on brandy and port wine, being afraid of the cholera at the time he spoke of the will. Manning said to me, when Mrs. Manning was present, that he would invite Mr. O'Con nor to his house, and he told me to frighten him well when he came about the cholera, and persuade him to take large quantities of brandy. He said this when he spoke of the will. He hinted to m e about putting some stupifying drug into the brandy. H e told me that he hated O'Connor, and that O'Connor hated him, and that O'Connor would pay him (Man ning) off some day for suing him for the 30 guineas. I recollect him askine me this—" Have you ever had or fired off an air-gun?" I said I have not dene so, but I have seen them fired in some experiments upon natural philosophy. He asked me if they made any noise. I said I believed they made very little noise indeed, but it was a long time since I heard one. These conversations rose up naturally, and it did not appear as if he had any de sign in asking these questions. He asked me if chloro form or laudanum had been given as stupifying agents, and I said yes. On another occasion he seid, "For God's sake never marry a foreigner; she has b een t h e ruin of me." His wife and himself appeared to live friendly together, but on one occasion I heard a quarrel. and a noise as if some ono had fallen out of bed. I should have left my lodgings before, but as the session was nearly at au end my parents thought I had better not. Manning and his wife appeared very anxi ous that I should leave. I had great difficulty in getting my bill, and at last Mrs. Manning told me that it was 3/. for two weeks. They wrote home to my parents for 41., but I told them not to give it. I did not know them before I went to live at their house. I recollect asking for a my box, of which m y b rother hammer to break : - open had lost the key, and they had not got one. Manning once asked why I locked my door, and if I was afraid :of getting my throat cut, and I told him I was always in the habit of locking my door with strangers. I have seen Mrs. Manning go into Mr. % when I lived O'Connor's bed room at his lodgings. I left London a fortnight last Monday. After I left Minver-place, I lodged eight days with Mr. Bainbridge, the broker, in Bermondsey-square. Manning appeared to know him, ROWL ANDS' ODOXTO, OIL PEARL DENTIFRICE, A.

Sold by them at 20, Hatton-Garden, London, and by Chemists and Per fumers, 7 AUGUST 25, 1849. and said that he would be able to give me comfortable lodgings. Richard Welsh, a labourer, residing in Vine-yard, Vine-place, Tooley• street, deposed, theta person came on the 23d of July to Mr. Wells's yard, in Russell street, and asked for sixpenny worth of lime, and the man asked Miss Msry Wells for it in presence of witness. Did not know the man before he came f r the lime. The man wrote his direction in the office of Mr. Wells. Wit• ties cannot read. The man said. Here is a lad who will take it up to my house." That was addressed to Miss Mary. The man asktd for stone lime, and said he wanted it for a garden. On the 2.5:11 of July witness took a bushel of lime (sixpenny worth) to 3, Minver place, by Miss Mary's direction. Saw the man whom be had seen on the 23 1 of July. Passed through the house down to the back kitchen, and shot the lime into a basket. The lime wes unslaked. Thinks he should know the man again. Got threehalfpence from the man, who hid promised to give that on taking the lime to the house. The sixpence for the lime was paid when the lime was ordered. The man was fair and very tall. Manning wrote the address on a piece of paper,. which witness lost. Manning said, he was to take the lime to 3, Minver-place, but repeated no name. Witness did not take the lime the day it was ordered, being busy. Put the lime down on the left-hand side of the. back kitchen, near the cupboard, in a square basket with a cover to it. William Mill, shopman to Mr. George Longlee, 46, Teoley-street—On last Wednesday fortnight a lady came into the shop, about three o'clock, and asked for a coal . shovel. Showed her some shorthandled dust shovels, which are used for coals. She wished for a strong one. Asked her if she would like to have a regular or= longhandled shovel. Believed he put the question, and that her answer was, " She would make a short one do." Showed her shovels at ls. and Is. 6d. She wanted a strong one, and wished to get a 15d. one for Is. :Told her 15d. was the _lowest price, when she told witness.she would giveshim:L4d.- He said he would not quarrel about a penny. -It was of, wrought iron, plain, without any holes. The handle was of wrought iron, about a foot in length. Had seen the person once before. but should know her again. Asked where he should send it. She said to 3, Minver-place, Weston. street. Would have no difficulty in recog• nising her. She had a black dress on, with three or four flounces, rather a common-looking dress. She hsd a black drawn bonnet. She paid for the shovel. Asked for a name. She gave the name of Manning. Sh e had a slight foreign accent. Witness took the shovel and gave it into her hand the same evening about seven o'clock at 3, Minver-place. It had the private mark of the shop, and a selling mark under it. It was scratched with a bradawl. Has since that time seen the shovel (which was produced, and identified by the witness). The 'CORONER then stated that as it was nearly half past six o'clock, and the jury had been engaged since eleven in hearing evidence, it might be expedient to ad journ at that time. Inspector Haynes intimated that to-morrow at half past ten o'clock he wai to meet Mr. M.aey, the super • intendent of police, Edinburgh, for the purpose of seeing whether the friends of the deceased could identify any of the property as Mr. O'Connor's which had been found on Mrs. Manning. The CORONER then suggested that the further pro ceedings should be adjourned to Monday next, at ten o'clock. _ The inquest was accordingly adjourned, at half-past six o'clock, to Monday, at ten o'clock.

THE PEACE CONGRESS AT PARIS. THURSDAY, Am. 23.—The President took the chair at 12 o'clock, and communicated to the Congress six addresses from Berlin, Dantzic, Cassel, and other places in Germany, containing expressions of sympathy with the objects of the Congress, and thanks having been voted to those cities, M. COQUEREL gave notice that all the public places would be open to the members of the Congress by order of the Minister of Public Works. A vote of thanks by acclamation was voted to the Minister, which appeared much to interest the French visitors present. . _ The TIRFSIDENT announced that the discussion on the second article of the programme, " general disarma ment," would then be taken, when The Rev. M. COQUEREL said, we have here 600 or 800 American and English, whose end ,is to establish principles of universal peace, in a capital where there are erected the greatest monuments existing in the world to the honour of armies. It is here the English and Americans come and say, " You do wrong to make war." It is an act of courage, for they speak to a people who love war. Let us endeavour to complete the work we have begun—let us endeavour to spread out the flag of universal peace until its shadow covers all the nations of the earth. We now have before us the question of disarmament; let France set the example. lhe speaker then went into a history of the foundation of standing armies, and traced the military condition of people previous to that epoch. He said that the esta blishment of standing armies was a partial disarmament. It was necessary to supply reasons for this general dis armament. He bad studied a little strategy, and asked, what is a soldier ? Not a man with a musket, or on a horse, but a man who had received military instruction. Henceforth, instead of instructing men as soldiers, let them be instructed as citizens. Frenchmen, of all people, were most apt to military inclination and capability, and it wus they who should first change this disposition, and France should first set the example of disarmametit. But if he should be answered that under present circum stances it was impossible, he would recur to the events of times gone by, and show that what was formerly con sidered as impossible had been effected. He then traced the course of past events, and demonstrated what he had stated by various examples. Let us not then doubt—let us not set up this obstacle of impossibility. There is nothing impossible but what is false, wicked, or unchris• tian; all else is possible, and all within our means of ac complishment. The speaker then resumed his seat amidst immense applause. SURINGAR, of Holland, then advocated the neces sity and practicability of disarmament, adverted to the expediency of arbitration in substitution of appeal to military force, and observed that this, like all other great reforms., would require time. M. FRANCISQUE BOUVET, representative, said his character of repmsentative of the sovereign people would not altoge►her allow him to abstain from political dis cussion. He then adverted to the recent news from Hungary, and went into some history of standing ar mies, observing that they had commenced in France. He did not agree with M. Coquerel that France should set the example of disarmament, but that it should be simultaneous with all nations. It was said that there were insut mountable obstacles; but, in his judgment, no such obstacles existsid. Inopportunity had been urged, but he considered that the proper time to propose universal peace was during a period of war. He thought circumstances were favourable to universal peace, and having gone at some length into the political position of France and Europe, as resulting from wars and revolu tions, urged that general disarmament should go hand in hand with general advancement. Mr. VINCENT supported the general disarmament, be• cause he considered that the giving effect to the moral force in opposition to physical was the great object of this society; but we had to encounter the most deep routed prejudices. In the spread of Christianity and its morality, of intelligence and education, was to be found the advent of universal peace. By keeping on toot armies we not only charge heavily our finances, but we indoctrinate our people with the love of military dis play and aggression, and in this we also enlist the feel ings and imaginations of the fairest and loveliest of the human race, until a nation becomes impregnated with the insanity of military glory. Are we Utopian in pro posing disarmament? No! We are in accordance with that religion which says, " Love one another." We are only proposing to subotitute mind fur matter, reason for force, and to attain that time when an ounce of intellect shall be better than a pound of shot. We should reduce our armies for the sake of our finances, to bring back into practical industry the hosts of men who are now uselessly engaged in military life, to disseminate the great principles of Christianity, and to bring hap piness to the human race. Let France and England, for the sake of liberty, for the sake of humanity, for the sake of commerce, for every interest dear to humanity, associate in the great work we now endeavour to promote; let them agree in disarmament, and a step will be tak en in thatdircorn which shall embrace the w elfare of the w h ole human race. Let us not suppose that this lies with the Govern ments—it is with the people. When Governments are wrong it is when the people are not right. Let us not be stayed by statements of Utopian absurdity or impos- sibility. With us, aided by the book, the pen. the tongue, and metal reason, our only weapons, all is possible.—(The speaker was greeted with unanimous and proloneed applause on his leaving the tribune.) M. VICToa, of Nice, followed in support of the prin ciple of disarmament. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN—There is little difference between the soldier of war and of peace—l am a s 44iier of peace. I shall lay before you some figures. What are you, gentlemen? The crusaders of peace. I will prove to you by figures the imperious necessity of dis• armament. But France cannot take the initiative, it may be said ; but if no country take the initiative, nothing can in this sense be accomialisheii. When you show countries that is their interest you will have made much progress. It is said on all sides, armies cannot be re duced ; and wherefore? The speaker then went into an inquiry as to the creation and increase of standing armies, and the former and present state of the army in France. It is said that Fiance cannot reduce her army unless the whole of Europe shall reduce its armament. If this were true it would equally apply to all reforms, for reform must commence somewhere. I wish liberty for France—that liberty that liberates man—that liberty that developer talent—that liberty that benefits the human race ; and this is to be found in disarmament of all nations excepting two—England and the United States. The speaker then considered the state of the armies in the United States and in Engla nd, for r purpose of showing that their number was nthoet soetha e t amount as to endanger liberty, but that in was so large us to lead to bankru rand France ° fetter liberty. On the completion of the meanstransport by rail way, one reason against the decrease ot of the French army would cease. bultltehe arm)was not a means of pre venting revolution, means were to be found in a As to • the external reasons, if moral Government lay aside her insatiable love of conquest, F ranc© would the necessity for so large ? a force would cease. Wh o (said he) are the Revolutionists It is the Govern nient,._(Tele produced tin immense uproar, a portion of the auditory approving, and others disapproving th e as sortion.) What are the consequences of. conserietion ? The taking men from their families, from their induct: y, and from peaceable employments—and for what? To make them useless members of society. The speaker then went into a financial investigation to show the in jury to the State of so large an armed force in France, and that it affected not only that but all the best interests of society. Let us not appeal (said the speaker) to the passions, but the reason, and we shall have made con siderable progress in the course this society proposes to itself, Mr. Elfin; M.P. (who spoko in Froneb), said that '4 4 ) k-1
