IrE BERMONDSEY MURDER. Maria Manning is on her way to town, having left Edinburgh in the custody. of Superintendent Aloxey by the 11 30 A er. Caledonian mail train. She will therefore arrive at Euston square this -morning at a quarter to five o'clock, and will be conveyed at once to the Police -station in Gardener's-lane, King-street, Westminster. Thence during the day she will be brought up for examination at the Southwark Police court; but the evidence in support of the charge against her will not be gone into further than to justify a remand. The Commissioners of Police are naturally anxious that, when the case is fairly gone into, the woman and her husdand should confront each other in the dock, and they have, we hear, every reason to believe that their desire in this respect will be gratified by the speedy capture of Manning. Langley, one of the detective force, to whom the person of Manning is very well known, left town yesterday upon his track, and will, it is confidently expected, soon give an account a him. In the meantime the adjourned inquest will be resumed this day at eleven o'clock, before Mr. Carter, at the Lea ther Market Tavern, Bermondsey. The public in • terest has for the last few days been diverted from the immediate neighbourhood of the murder to the parti culars connected with the flight of the accused parties and the apprehension of one of them. The great ingenuity displayed by the police in tracting one at least of the fugitives ; the large and successful use made by them of the electric telegraph, and the re markable and almost providential circumstances ' which led to the discovery of the dead body, have naturally excited much admiration. With respect to the two first-mentioned subjects, great praise is due to Inspector 11113 nes, of the detective force, who has very skilfully guided the pursuit. On the last point, viz., the discovery of the body, the facts are so striking as to deserve a more special and detailed narrative than has hitherto appeared of them. The back kitchen where the body was buried I was the apartment generally used by Airs. Manning for cooking operations. Here she received the officers on the Monday afternoon, shortly before she determined on absconding. The appearance of the room at that time was remarkably clean and neat, and it was observed by Barnes that the flag stones with which it was paved had been recently and very carefully rubbed over with hearthstone, giving the floor a very white appearance. When Barnes again visited the house on the Friday after it had been deserted, he remarked that the mortar or cement between the interstices of two of the stones had a brighter appearance than in the others. This induced him to pull out of his pocket a clasp-knife, on opening which and testing with it the consistency of the cement, he found it very soft. He was naturally surprised at this circumstance, but, as he could observe no irregularity in the mode of laying the stone in question, he was at a loss to account for it. He next tried the cement between other stones, and found it firm and hard. This strength ene d hi s suspicions, and he at once removed two stones mea ' suring together about five feet. Beneath these stones he found a bed of mortar carefully spread over the whole space. This satisfied Barnes that they could not have been laid by a workman, as masons only place mortar round the edges of the stones. He found the earth beneath the layer of mortar very loose, and on scraping it up to the depth of about two inches he discovered a stocking. Ile then dug down a little lower, still using his fingers only; and when he had reached the depth of about six inches, after a layer of lime, his hand came into contact with the toe of the murdered man. The position of the body, with the head downwards and the feet tied to the haunches, will explain this. Immense crowds surrounded the house in Minver place for the first day or two after the murder, but the attraction there has now almost ceased, for yesterday scarcely anybody was to be seen, with the ex ce pti on of a stray idler or t wo occa sionally. The back kit chen where the victim was buried has now been tho roughly put to rights, and the house has been well cleaned. The landlord (Mr. Coleman) determined not to satisfy the morbid curiosity of the thousands who wished to look over the house, and it has there fore very properly been kept closed. It is about to be temporarily occupied by a workman of the land lord, and will. not be let again for the present. The writer had yesterday some converation with a baker residing in the street, who had been in the habit of supplying Mrs. Manning with bread. The woman, it appears, was in the frequent habit of coming to his shop, and was very fond of gossipping. It has been stated that she speaks broken English, but this is not the case, as she converses in that language with great ease and fluency. She was often talking of her connexions at the West-end, and frequently men tioned the Duchess of' Sutherland and Lady Blan tyre. It is somewhat strange that she was known to the tradesmen in the neighbourhood, not as Mrs. Manning but as Mrs. Howard, and until very lately there was a small plate on the door with the name of Jervis upon it. This plate, it seems, was removed only just before Manning and i,i. -.,ir,. a.- camped. A young man is said to have boarded and Li__, ,t_._ .......... .u. some Lune. 11 . , hat has become of him is not known. Mrs. Manning is said to have claimed some relationship with Courvoisier, who, it will be recollected, was said to be connected with a family named Deroux. No great secret appears to have been made of their intention to leave the neigh bourhood, as the man had offered his furniture to a Mr. Nock, a grocer arid cheesemonger in Weston street, saying he wished to get rid of it at once. Manning seems to have made himself known to most of the tradesmen about, as several of them in Wes ton-street state that his person is quite familiar to them. His wife, however, was most frequently seen. The deceased, Patrick O'Connor, was known to boast among those connected with his department at the Customs of his great command of money. A gentleman in the Customs, who frequently had busi ness iwith him, had heard him speak about it. It was also pretty notorious that the deceased was con nected with a bad set. On one occasion O'Connor declared to one of his companions that he made a good deal of money, but that " a lady had the best part of it." O'Connor's landlady is said to have had her misgivings about some of the companions who were in the habit of coming to the house, or of corresponding with him, and when he was first missed expressed her fears that something fatal had happened to him. Her conjectures have been verified in a very appalling manner; but while the unparalleled atrocity of the crime remains unquestioned, there is little doubt that the world has little to regret in the loss of Patrick O'Connor. His life appears to have been divided between the indulgence of the most sordid avarice and the most depraved licentiousness. For instance, a case was heard before Mr. Broderip, at the Thames Police-court, about three years ago, which shows the singular worthlessness of his character. lie on that occasion charged a man named Michael Lee with obtaining money from him by threats. Lee's state ment was, that he had given O'Connor 51. to procure employment for him in the docks, but that the em ployment had not been got, and O'Connor would not return the money. Finding how matters stood, he threatened to expose him unless the 51. was forth coming. O'Connor cunningly pretended that he had not the money with him then, but promised to pay him the same evening if he called at his lodgings. At the hour appointed be had a constable stationed in the adjoining room, and when Lee threatened to expose him if the Si. was not returned, he was immediately marched off to the station-house. The evidence of the threat was conclusive, and poor Lee received twelve months' imprisonment, while O'Connor, who had been suspended from his situation at the Custom house on a charge of similar malpractices in other cases, was held to have re-established his character, and was reinstated accordingly. The box left at the Folkestone station, with the name of Manning upon it, turns out, upon examina tion, not to belong to the suspected murderer. The register-book of the marriages of the parish of St. James, Westminster, shows that the marriage of the guilty parties was b y li cence, an d th a t ittook place on the 27th o f M ay l as t, a t th e par ish church,his Manning being describ e d as a r a il w ay clerk wife (then Maria D eroux ) a s daughter . clerk , a nd Deroux, postmaster in Geneva; the officiating mi nister being the Rev. T. Beames, the curate ; and the attesting witnesses, Jean Etienne Beauvais and Louisa Salanson.

She wa lked step, and, during the whole time she was at the bar, her countenance did not betoken the slightest symp tom of agitation or alarm. Ever since her apprehen sion, indeed, she has conducted herself in a manner which shows that she is determined to brave all con sequences, and not to give the slightest hint or indi cation that may, at a future period, tell against herself or alleged husband and confederate in the murder. She was very neatly dressed, and, from her easy and graceful manners, she is evidently a person who has mixed a good deal in society. She is not, however, by any means what may be styled beautiful, as some of the papers have asserted. Mr. Moxey read the charge against her, which was in the shape of a petition at his own instance, and was as follows : " The petition of Richard John Mosey, superin tendent of police, and procurator-fiscal of court for the public interest, humbly showeth, that your peti tioner has been credibly informed that Maria Roux, or lieu, or Rieux, or Manning, at present in custody, has been guilcy, actor, o r act in part,. of the crime of murder, as also of the crime of theft, m so far as upon the 9th day of August,. 1849, or about that ti me , th e . said accused did, tne house situated in Minvc , r place, New Weston street, parish of Ber mondsey, in or near London, then occupied by Frederick George Manning, wickedly and feloniously attack and assault Patrick O'Connor, residing in .4' • N°.17,75£3.] LONDON, FRIDAY - E NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 26, CORNHILL, LONDON.

The numerous existing counterfeits of the surgeons of LE ROY'S Medicines offered to the public, as well in ouz names as in that of Le Roy, induce us to put upon their guard against spurious imitations those persons who have always had confidence in Le Roy's Genuine Medicines, as prepared from the original prescription by M.

They remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are highly grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, re lieve langour and depression of spirits ; while to those of full habit and free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heavi ness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will not fail to be appreciated. This medicince has for many years received the approval of the most respectable classes of society; and in confirmation of its effi cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout, with permission to publish it, and if requisite, to refer any respect able person to its author : " To Mr. Profit, 229, Strand, London. " Heavitree, Exeter, April 24, 1844. " feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli cited testimony to the excellence of your Frampton's Pill of Health,' which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior ge neral medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having re course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medi cines before the public of equal value as a friend in need ;' certainly none possessed of superior claims. I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my individual recommendation; and am, Sir, " Your obedient servant, .. * * * *.,, A It It E.

Diffidence, or a 3 ens e of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em .itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea pf caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un somproslng harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness sal social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set cement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w imps on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before . brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the meat aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the grown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes.

The -first meeting of this society took place to-day, in the Salle St.' Cecile, Rue de la Chaussee d'Antin. The salle where the meeting took place is a large building, generally tried as a music hall, and capable of containing a very numerous auditory. At one end was erected a raised estrade, on which - were to take their places the chairman and principal -members of the English and French committees. At the other end was a gallery of considerable extent, with seats placed over each other, in a slanting position, so as to enable those sitting b laird to see just as well as those in front. The hall was handsomely decorated along , the sides with faisseaux of tricolor, d flogs, tastefully intertwined with those of Belgium, the. Unite States, and England, and along the centre with large gilt chandeliers. The gal lery at the extreme end was decorated with draperies of crimson cloth. The whole of the large hall was completely filled at .a little after twelve o'clock. A considerable number of the Society of Friends were to be seen scattered about amongst the auditory. Some ladies of that persuasion were also present, and as is usual, the number of females present was greater than might have been expected. The proceedings commenced by the secretaries of the French, English, and American Peace Socikies reading out the names of the members of the committees of the three bodies. According as any name . was . pronounced of any person of mark, ioud applause arose amongst the persons in the hall below. Thus M. Victor Hugo's name, those of Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr. Swart, M.P., Mr. Hindley, M.P., Mr: Sturge, M. Fraucisque Bavet, representative of the people, M. Horace Say, M. Michel Chevalier, Mr. Elihu Burritt, &c., were received with the loudest acclamations. The reading of the /Imes baying been concluded, M. Victor Hugo, representatiie of the people, came forward and took the chair. -.The Hon. Gentleman was received with loud applause. On his left was M. Coquerel, representative of the people, a Protestant clergyman, and on the right M, Deguerry, cure of the Madeleine. After a moment's pause M. Victor Hugo arose and delivered the following address:— " Gentlemen,—Many of you have come from the most remote quarters of the globe, your hearts full of religious and holy thought. You number in your ranks public men, philosophers, ministers of religion, eminent writers, and many of those public men who are the lights of their nation. You have wished to date from Paris the decla rations of this assembly of convinced and serious minds, who desire not only the welfare of one people, but also that of all nations. You have come to add to the prin ciples which at the present time influence statesmen, governors, and legislators, a superior principle. You have come to turn over, in some sort, the last and the most august page of the gospel—that which enjoins peace on the children of God; and in this city, which was hi therto only decreed the fraternity of citizens, you'have come to proclaim the fraternity of men. Gentlemen, we bid you a hearty welcome. Gentlemen, is this re ligious thought of universal peace, of all nations bound to one another by a social bond, that of the gospel ? Is this idea capable of realisation? ➢Zany political men reply, no. As for myself, I reply with you, without hesitation, yes—(Loud applause) —and I shall try to prove the truth of my statement immediately. But Igo further. I not only say that it is an object capable of being realised, but that it is inevitable—all that can be done is to hasten or retard its consummation. The law of the world is not, and cannot be, distinct from the law of God. But the law of God is not war, but peace. Mon begin with struggles, just as creation commenced by chaos. Whence do they come? Evidently from war. Whither are they going? To peace. When you affirm these lofty truths, it is quite plain that your affirmation meets with negation, that your faith meets with incredu lity, that, in this hour of our troubles and of our commo tions, the idea of universal peace surprises and alarms every one as being the apparition of something impos sible and ideal. It is quite possible that our views will be called Utopian; and, as far as concerns myself, a humble and obscure labourer in the great work of the nineteenth century, I accept this opposition without be. ing either astonished or discouraged by it. Is it possible for you to prevent people turning aside their heads and closing their dazzled eyes, when, in the midst of the thick darkness which still surrounds us, you suddenly open the radiant gate of the future? If any one, gen tlemen, four centuries ago, during the time when com mune waged war against commune, town against town, and province against province—if any one had said to Lorraine, to Picardy, to Normandy, to Brittany, to Auvergne, to Provence, to Dauphiny, to Burgundy, a day will come when you will no longer make war, when men will no longer bear arms one against the other, when it will no longer be said, " The Normans have at tacked Picardy," or " The men of Lorraine have beaten the Burgundians," you would still have many differ ences to arrange, many interests to discuss, many disputes to set+le; but do you know what you will put i❑ the place of armed men of infantry and cavalry, of cannon and falconets, of lances, pikes, and swords? You will put in the p1".. 6 all these a little wooden eoa, awn you will call the a,,11 sant from that box will proceed an assembly in which you will feel that you all live, which will act as a soul to all of you, a sovereign and popular council which will decide, will judge, will settle all questions, which will make the sword fall from the hands of all, and justice rise in every heart—which will say to cacti man, " Here ends thy right, there begins thy duty ; lay down your arms, live in peace." And on that day you will feel that you have common thoughts, common inte rests, a common destiny. You will embrace one another, you will recognise one another as children of the same blood and of the same race. On that day you will cease to be hostile tribes—you will be a people, you will no longer be Burgandy, Provence, Normandy, Britanny— you will be France. Appeals will ❑o longer be made to war but to civilizatiou.—(Loud applause,) If, at the period I allude to, such words had been uttered, all men of serious character and all great politicians of that day would have exclaimed—What a dreamer I what igno rance of the human heart ! what folly ! Time, how ever, has gone on, and this dream, this folly, has been realised. Well, you say at the present day, and I join with you in saying it, all of us here present speak to France, to England, to Prussia, to Austria, to Spain, to Italy, to Russia, and say—" A day will come when arms will fall from your hands, when war will appear as absurd, and will be as impossible between Paris and London, between Vienna and Turin, or between St. Petersburgh and Ber- lin, as it would now appear absurd between Rouen and Amiens, or between Boston and Philadelphia. A day will como when France, Russia, Italy, England, Ger many, all the nations of the continent, without losing your distingui,hed characteristics and your glorious identity, will be merged into a superior unity, and shall form an European paternity, just as Normandy, Brit.. tany, Burgundy, Lorraine, Alsace have been blended into France. The day will come when the only battle field shall be the market open to commerce and to the new ideas of the mind. A day will come when bullets and shells will be replaced by votes, by universal suf frage, and by the arbitration of a great sovereign senate, which shall bo to Europe what the Parliament is to Eng land, or the Diet to Germany, or the Legislative As sembly to France.—(Loud applause.) The time will come when a cannon will be exhibited as an old instru ment of torture, and wonder expressed how such a thing could have bean used. A day, I say, will come when the United States of America and the United States of Europe will be seen extending to each other the hand of fellowship across the ocean, and when we shall have the happiness of seeing everywhere arising the majestic radiation of universal concord. Subject worthy of meditation I It is our precautions against war which have brought about revolution—all has been done, all extended against an imaginary danger. Misery, the real danger, has thus been aggravated. Nevertheless, gentlemen, let us not despair; on the con trary, let us hope more than ever; let us only regard our epoch in its proper light. After all it is a prodigious and admirable epoch, and the nineteenth century will consti tute the most important page of history. ON kind of progress brings on another—the fall of nationalltpimo shies, the obliteration of frontiers from the map and -of prejudices from the heart, a tendency to unity and the level of education; the predominance of the most literary a t the sam e t i me, an d converge to languages—all move the same end, the creation of well-being and goodwill, extinction of misery at home and of war abroad.—(Ap• plause.) Yes, the era of revolutions is drawing to a close, and that of improvements is beginning. The improve ment of nations leaves its violent form, and takes a peace able one. The time is come when Providence will sub stitute for the disorderly action of agitators the religious and calm action of peace-makers.—(Loud applause.) Henceforward this will be the object of true politics—the recognition of all nationalities, the restoration of the his torical unity of the people, the connexion of this country with civilization by means of peace, the incessant enlarge ment of the civilized world, the giving of a good example to nations that are still barbarians, the substitution of arbitration for battles, and, to crown the whole, the utterance by justice of the last word which this ancient world uttered by force. Gentlemen, I say in conclusion —and let this thought encourage us—it is not to-day that the human race is traversing this providential road. In our old Europe, England has tak en t h e first step, and has said to the peo ple, " Y ou are free. " France has taken the second step, and said to the people, " You aro sovereign." Now, let us take the third step; and let France, England, Belgium, Germany, I taly, Europe, and America all unite in saying to the people, " You are brethren." Immense applause followed this address : the cheers were repeated over and over again, and at last three hurrahs were given in the English fashion. M. Coquerel than rose and read the conditions and regulations of the meeting. which run thus:— " 1. The committee shall be compo se d of the presi dent, vice-presidents, and secretaries, of th e Congress, with power to add to their number. " 2. The secretaries to propose the business for each day, to receive communications relative to the business of the Congress,' to keep full minutes of its proceedings in French and English, and to have the care of all docu ments properly belonging to it. " 3. Every proposition which either one or more mem bers of the Congress wish to bring before it, must in the first instance be submitted in writing to th,, com mittee, who arc empowered to decide upon its relevancy, and to fix the time when it may be brought on. " 4. The members of the Congress who wish to speak LIVERPOOL MURDERS. In our yesterday's edition we gave, by electric tele graph, the verdict of Guilty in this case. In passing sentence of death, His LORDSHIP addressed the prisoner thus :—John Gleeson Wilson, you have been tried, and you have had a very patient and attentive and cahn trial. The facts have been brought forward, and have been given in evidence in a manner which is very rarely the case —that everything in connexion being ao clearly traced as it has been on this occasion, no man living who has heard this trial can have the slightest doubt that those unfortunate persons fell by your hands. You have been tried for the murder of Mary Parr, and it is quite clear you killed not only her, but Mrs. Hinrichson, and her two unoffending children. There is no doubt about it. Nobody can have the slightest doubt who heard the evidence. The prisoner here began to be very much excited, and interrupted his Lordship. When silence was restored, His LORDSHIP continued—You had better not conduct yourself in the way in which you were just now doing, but attend to what I say. Your days are numbered ; •there is no hope for you of mercy at all on this side of the grave. You must suffer the extreme penalty of the law for the very sad and atrocious offence which you have committed. You have sent four persons out of the world, all of a sudden ; two of them grown up persons, with all their sins, if they had any, upon their heads, and two of them little innocents, hardly old enough—one of them certainly not old enough—to have committed a sin. It is for you now to apply yourself, for the short re maining period of your life, with all such assistance as I am sure will he most kindly given to you in the gaol by the chaplain, to prepare yourself to meet your God. (The prisoner again became restive, and seemed desirous of speaking, but was restrained.) Ido not pretend to say you may not have mercy. I cannot look at your heart, nor can I tell whether there will be sincere repentance there at all, or whether you will appeal to Him for pardon through the merits of the Saviour or not. I can only earnestly implore you to do so, for there is no possibility, as far as I can see, that your life can be spared. If such an offence as this were not to be punished with the extreme severity of the law, there would be no security whatever for the lives of her Majesty's subjects. And the laws of this land have distinctly provided that persons who are guilty of murder shall be punished, and it is not in the power of the judge, who, after all, is but the instrument of the law—it is not in my power to hold out to you any possibility of your not suffering that extreme punish ment ; and, therefore, I once more earnestly exhort you that you will employ the only few remaining weeks, or days of your life in seeking for that pardon at the hands of the Almighty which human laws cannot afford you. It only remains that I shall pass on you the awful sentence of the law, which is that you be taken from hence to the place from whence 3ou came, and that you be there hanged by the neck until you are dead, and that your body be buried within the precincts of the prison; and I pray God to' have mercy on your soul. The prisoner, in a loud and confident tone, ex claimed, " He has mercy already, my Lord." He was then removed from the bar. A rush was then made from the crowded court, and the result of the trial was made known outside the court, where an immense concourse of people congregated. When it was known that sentence of death had been recorded against Wilson, a loud shout rent the air, and must have grated harshly on the ears of the convict as he passed through the dock. The court was deserted in a few minutes, and as Mr. Justice Patteson got into his carriage and was driven to his lodgings he was loudly cheered by those who had assembled outside the court. The trial terminated at nine o'clock. S y AUG UST 24, 1849. on any proposition before the chair, must send up their names to the president to be inscribed on his list, and will be heard in the order in which they stand on such list. " 5. No speaker will be allowed more than fifteen minutes, except by special leave of the Congress; when that period is passed, the president will intimate the same to the speaker. " 6. No speaker will be allowed to speak more than once on any proposition, unless in the way of explana tion. The opener of the discussion will, however, have the right of reply. " 7. The object of the Congress being one of general and permanent interest,. no speaker can be allowed to make any direct allusion to the political events of the day, or to discuss any questions of local interest. In case of any infraction of this rule, the speaker will be called to order, and should he persist, the president will withdraw from him the right to speak. " 8. At the close of each session, the committee will meet for consultation on all matters that may require their attention. "9. The resolutions proposed for the adoption of the Congres; shall be decided by a majority of vote=. " 10. The resolutions adopted shall be signed by the president and the secretaries of the Congress. " 11. The several resolutions adopted shall form the basis of an address or addresses that may be agreed to by the Congress; such address or addresses to be signed, on behalf of the Congress, by the president, vice presidents, and secretaries. " Note. The members of the Congress are respectfully , and urgently requested to be in their places at the com mencement of the proceedings of each session; and in case any question on a point of order should arise dur inc, the proceedings, to keep perfect silence, leaving it to the president and committee to take the necessary steps for dispwing the same." The CItAIRMADT-I proceed to put these resolutions to the vote. Whoever is opposed to them can express his opinion.—(No, no, we all agree to them). The regula tions are agreed to. M. GARNIER then read the following letter from the Archbishop of Purls:— "Paris, August 17, 1849. " To the Members of the Congress of Universal Peace. " Gentlemen—l have been profoundly touched by the visits which Messrs. De la Rochefoucauld Liancourt, Victor Hugo, Coquerel, and Elihu Burritt were good enough to pay me, and by the letter you have just written to me to offer me the Presidency of the Congress of Universal Peace. " This, gentlemen, is an honour the full value of which I feel, and for which I should never be able adequately to express my gratitude. "I think with you, gentlemen, that war is a remnant of ancient barbarism; that it is accordant with Chris tianity to desire the disappearance of this formidable scourge from the face of the earth, and to make strenu ous efforts to attain this noble and generous end. " Perhaps, alas ! the time has not yet come when it will be completely possible for the nations to enter upon this path. Perhaps war will continue for many years to be a cruel necessity. " But it is proper, it is praiseworthy, it is excellent to labour to make the people understand that they, like in dividuals, ought to endeavour, with the least possible de lay, to terminate their differences by pacific means, and that humanity and civilization will have made immense progressthese fratricidal on the daycontests. when an end shall have been put to " I beg you, therefore, gentlemen, to inscribe my name amongst the friends of the Congress of Peace, but it is to me a source of deep regret that I cannot, on account of my . health, accept the honour, which you have so generously offered me, of presiding over you. "If my physician, who urges me to a journey to avoid a dangerous state of health, would, nevertheless, consent to let me put it off for somo days, and if my neuralgic pains are not too violent, it will afford me real pleasure to be present at one of your sessions. " Receive, gentlemen, together with the expression of these sentiments, the assurance of my most distinguished consideration. " )01 MAINE DOMINIQUE AUGusTE, " Archbishop of Paris." A number of other letters were also read from per sons of note, declaring their adhesion to the objects of the meeting. A gentleman here rose in the body of the meeting, and expressed a wish to have the letter of the Arch bishop of Paris read in English, as it had been given to the meeting in the original French. Mr. CoIIDEN, then rose, and was received with immense cheering. He declared that the request just made appeared to them a reasonable one, end he would himself read the letter of the Archbishop of Canter bury—(Tremendous laughter, which lasted some time) —he meant the Archbishop of Paris.—(ltenewect laughter.) The Honourable Gentleman then read the letter, of which the translation is given above, I have now (continued the Honourable Gentleman) to propose to tile meeting that the Archbishop of Paris be nominated an honorary vice-president of the society.—(tJheers.) Th;= ' , imposition was carried by aeclawation. M. VIEIXIIERS, who had been president of the Peace Congress held some months back at Brussels, then rose and rand a report of the proceedings and results of the sittings. then held. As ;the Congress at Brussels took place so recently, it is not necessary to go back on the account given by the lion. Gentleman, but the result of the contest for certain priz:s offered on that occasion by the permanent Peace Congress is not without interest. The Academy Royal of Brussels, being asked to decide on the prizes, willingly acceded to the request. Two and twenty papers were sent in previously to June 1, 1549, the appointed time, and two afterwards, which could not be admitted. The committee of the Academy gave in their report on Aug. 6, and at great length analysed the various papers. It stated that the members were unanimous in according the prize of I,ooof. to the paper which bore the following motto:—" C'est de la maniere dont on s'y prend pour faire one chose que derive le succes de l'enterprise que l'on a faite." The sealed note which accompanied this essay declared it to have been written by M. Barra, advocate, residing at Mons, in Belgium. The second place was assigned to an essay bearing the motto, " Arrnez yeas les uns les autres ;" and the third to No. 22, with the motto, " L'ideal n'est que la write a dis tance." The Academy found that the first of these two had been written by M. Clochereux, law student at the University of Liege, and the second by M. Monange, attache to the department of foreign affairs at Brussels. These results, it had been announced, would be pro claimed at the Paris Congress. When the Honourable Gentleman had concluded, The CHAIRMAN called on the three gentlemen named above, and briefly informed them that their works having been selected as the best on the subject proposed, namely, the advantages of peace, he felt the greatest satisfaction in being the organ of thus publicly presenting them with the proposed prizes. Mr. Barra then came forward, and was presented with the prize. The others were absent. The CHAIRMAN then announced that M. do to Roche foucauld Liancourt, in the name of the Social de la Morale Chretienne, proposed as a prize for next year a sum of 500 f. for the best essay on the advantages of peace, and another of 500 f. for the best collection of opi nions, from all authors, ancient and modern, sacred and profane, showing that war is alike contrary to humanity and morality. These prizes are altogether independent of any which the Peace Society, properly so called, might think fit to propose. This announcement was received with loud applause. The CHAIRMAN then said that, the preliminary busi ness having been disposed of, the resolutions would be brought forward in order. He would now read the first to the meeting:—" The recourse to arms being a custom condemned by religion, morality, reason, and humanity, it is the duty of all men, and a means of safety, to seek out and adopt measures calculated to bring about the abolition of war; and the friends of universal peace, as sembled in congress at Paris on tho 22d, 23d, and 24th of August, have issued :the following resolutions:- 1. Peace alone being able to guarantee the moral and physical interests of nations, it is the duty of all Go vernments to submit to arbitration the differences arising amongst them, and to respect the decisions of the arbi trators whom they may have chosen." M. BONNETIER read a paper in support of the re solution. The SECRETARY then read a paper pointing out the objects of international arbitration. War, it said, was attended with a fearful magnitude. Appeals, it said, had been made to the sword by all nations, from the earliest ages; the habit had originated in barbarism, and had been continued through every stage of civilization. The vast aggregate of the mischiefs produced by all the earthquakes and other calamities was insignificant com pared with that produced by war, and the grand object to bo desired was, to find a means which might be re sorted to whenever differences should arise between nations of a nature to endanger their friendly intercourse. Tho principal proposed, of arbitration, is recognised in modern jurisprudence, and recommended in the Scrip tures. Nations have not been found wanting to adopt this principle. War is of modes the worst there can be used in the settlement of disputes. How can a question of right be decided by the employment of brute force. The only question that war can solve is, which is the strongest. With regard to difficulties which mi;. , ,ht arise to the selection of arbitrators no thing could be more easily got over, for the real interest of such a course would point out those most proper to be selected. The Rev. JOHN BURNETT next rose, and was rec e iv e d with loud applause. He commenced by expressing the satisfaction he felt at seeing so large an assembly before him; it was a practical refutation of the assertion that France and England were natural enemies. —(Loud applause.) He maintained that they oug;ht rather to be considered natural friends.—(Cheers.) Why should they be otherwise? Why should any one have his next-door neighbour his enemy? No one would do so unless be was a fool.—(Laughter.) For his part, he rejoiced to see his smoothfaced friends and his bearded friends mixing amicably together.—(Laughter.) The more they so mixed together the better decidedly would be their views. But it was asked, what were the advocates of peace to do? Were they to take away arms from others and keep them for themselves? No; they were against the use of arms in any case. Ile and his t friends were altogether against war in any shape—with fists as much as with firearms, svrord3, or other murderous weapons. What, then, did the society propose to do? It propo se d to have all disputes settled by arbitration. They did not, in making this proposition, intend asking the belli gerent parties to submit their disputes to person* Of an unfriendly character—to persons naturally opposed to them. No; but to well-instructed arbitrators—to persons whose knowledge of the subjects under dispute would only be surpassed by their desire to settle matters ami cably—(Hear, hear.) But look at wars in general; did they always terminate according to the justice of the cause involved? Did not the skill of the captains, and the strength of the troops, and even the force, and speed of the force, do more in deciding warlike affairs than the justice of the cause for which the contest was entered on ? How often did not it come to pass that the con querors were in the wrong ? How often had not England been beaten when she was in the right, and have the best of it when she was certainly wrong? It way, consequently, logical to suppose that arbitration would be a fairer mode of deciding differences than any recourse to arms. But let it not be supposed that arbitration was a novel mode of deciding matters in dispute. All nations ha I made use of it in their time, and even the most barbarous thought of war only wfun amicable means had failed. What were the decisions of lf b eo e nng s o t a wh v e e od d f tnh eeTvhe doctrineser y e w o s e s r i were possible case,t the certainly 1 the . courts of law but methods of arbitration ? He maintained that by such a plan as arbitration men's in terests, their treasures, and their blood could most surely jecting differences to arbitration some delicate questions. ide m itdy a . t n t o er Ht o lei f k s e u t b o - Many persons were of opinion that peace ought to be place themselves forward as the opponents of war in every imaginable case. For his part, he went the full con sidered that no one ought to fight, even if sure of con quest; ought not to support war, however just might be their cause. Many persons did not go that length, but conceived that by allowing public opinion to work, in the end ideas of peace would gain ground, and they would be spared the necessity of setting themselves forward as the ultra-supporters ofpeace in every case. He believed that if Men of information in Belgium, France, the United ye Peace c t n e th ey t s hs States, and England joined together firmly, to carry out the principles of the Peace Society, the result would not long be doubtful. The Rev. Gentleman dwelt on this point for some time, and went on to say that Eng land had shown the greatest readiness to participate in this great work, and he entertained the most fervent hopes that other nations would join with equal readiness in the pleasing task. He rejoiced to see the numerous assem blage of Frenchnadn now present, and he much re gretted his inability to address them in their native lan guage. The ornaments of the salle also gave him great pleasure, for he there saw the flags of England together, not arrayed in hostile array against each other, but en twined together in token of peace, and as ornaments to a room in which the inhabitants of the respective coun tries were assembled to devise and propagate the means of promoting universal peace amongst them. The time would come when nations would only be regarded as great in proportion to their advancement in the arts of peace and in civilization.—(Loud applause.) The sitting was then suspended for about ten minutes, to allow the air in the hall to be changed. M. DE GUERALT next addressed tho meeting. He alluded at some length to the miseries which had fol lowed the appeals to war among nations for the settle ment of their differences, and then proceeded to point out the advantages which would result from the adoption of the principles put forth by the present Congress. War was, he said, now being carried out, but it was no longer for the purposes of conquest; it was for the restoration of nationality. No Government could now have an idea of encroaching on the rights and liberties of the people. But hero a question, he said, arose. Out of the five great powers of Europe, there were three who pro fessed the doctrine that the people belonged to the Go vernments—a doctrine contrary to that which was now professed by France. There were thus, he said, two principles placed in presence, and it was necessary that one must overpower the other. The Honouroble Gen tleman then made the following proposition—" That the Congress of Peace would lay down as a principle the na tionality of people, and proposed that Governments should maintain it by force, :for it is impossible to re main in a state of vain neutrality and sterile counsels." M. FREUX observed that he was apprehensive that the proceedings of the society were not sufficiently prac tical. On that account he had proposed a series of reso lutions to amend that defect. The Hon. Gentleman then read the resolutions, declaring that a Universal Peace Congress should be formed, to meet every year, the central committee for the ensuing year being appointed at the end of tho.sittings; that every country should be included in the Cpgress, and that the members should bind themselves 'to forward the objects of the Peace So ciety as much as they possibly could; that a universal language shnuld be decided on, as an important means of forwarding the principles of peace; and that a sub scription of five cents. per week should be paid to defray expenses. The CHAIRMAN said that the propositions should be taken into consideration by the committee, who would decide if they were of a nature to be discussed. Notice should be given to the Honourable Gentlemen of the de cision come to. Th. 12 v_ Mr. ),lATTxbr.,..)£.the Atitt. of dressed the meeting, dwelling on the necessity of choos ing as arbitrators men actuated by ideas of justice and benevolence. He should therefore propose that all points in dispute should be referred to one great peace committee or congress, chosen by universal suffrage, which should, independently of the executive power, decide all questions in a manner most in accordance with justice and benevolence. - 11. JEAN JOURNET, in a wild strain, addressed the meeting in favour of a vast system of arbitration, of which God should be the head, and democratic princi ples the foundation.—(This speaker wes frequently re called to the question by the chairman.) M. VINCENT wished to call the attention of the Congress to the necessity of avoiding at present all dis cussion on matters of detail: such matters could be better entered on in a smaller meeting. He de sired, however, to answer the doubt which had been expressed of arbitration not being a practical matter, He would ask if it was not arbitra tion which eventually decided all questions in dispute ? Battles might be fought and enemies conquered, but in the end the articles of peace were of necessity settled by diplomatic means. What he desired to see was arbitra tion before hostilities, in place of after. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to declare that there was no question which was gaining ground so rapidly in the public mind as that of the necessity and advantages of peace. How could it be otherwise when such men as Richard Cobden—(Cheers)—and so many eminent members of the Legislative Assembly were engaged in advocating such principles? He then spoke strongly against the evils of war, and concluded by recommend ing the Congress to avoid all subjects of detail, and to refuse to discuss any resolutions which could in any way offend the public feeling of the people of Paris. [Cries hero arose for Mr. Cobden, which being per sisted in] The CHAIRMAN declared that after the next speaker the meeting would come to a vote on the first resolu tion. The next day Mr. Cobden, M. Emile de Girardin, M. Bastiat, and others, would speak. M. GUYARD then read a speech in favour of the re solution. The CHAIRMAN—Mr. Cobden wishes to make a simple observation.—(Great marks of curiosity.) Mr. COBDEN, M.l'., then came forward, and was re ceived with immense cheering. Ile said, in French, that he wished to make a single remark on the objection of Mr. Mahan, the American gentleman , who had ad dressed the assembly. Ho should, however, reply in English, as he was most anxious th t a o t a. The Hon, the Americans 3 present should hear what he had Gentleman then went on to say, i n s English, that the objection made by Mr. Mahan to arbitration was on ac count of the difficulty of the details, but that ho was of opinion that a great arbitration society, as it were, should be formed beforehand, to decide whatever ques tions of dispute might arise—the Hon. Gentleman did not object to arbitration itself, he fully admitted that it was preferable to war. No objection to arbitration in the abstract was therefore made by the lion. Gentleman. Now he (Mr. Cobden) was of opinion that it would be better not to have an arbitration congress or society formed beforehand. It would be better, he thought, that the occasion should be waited for, so that if a dispute arose on a point of military etiquette it might be a ge neral or admiral selected, and if a commercial matter a merchant. For his part, he saw no difficulty whatever in arbitration, and he was anxious to give this short re ply to his American friend, that when the report of the proceedings were published it might not be thought that any want of respect was offered to the objection which had been brought forward.—(Hear, hear.) Some disappointment seemed to prevail amongst the French at the unimpassioned delivery of Mr. Cobden. The first resolution was then voted unanimously, and the meeting separated. THE BANK FORGERIES AT MANCHESTER.—On Tuesday last we stated that two men named Robinson and Macaulay had been charged at the Manchester Borough Court with a series of forgeries on the Man chester and Liverpool District Back. Yesterday the prisoners were again examined; but the only additiona l evidence adduced was that of a Mr. Hunt, cash_ieeirngto the bank, who spoke confidently to Macaulay person who tendered, on the 27th of Ju l y , Is b c h e que for 3751. 10s., purporting to be drawn by Messrs. Collinson and Simpson, and which Mr. Simpson,when the cheque was shown to him, pronouncedt to be a f o rgery.

The prose• cuter deposed that he kept a coffee and cigar shop in Icing-street, Covent garden. About one o'clock on Mon day morning last the prisoner and another man entered his shop, and whilst his back was turned they made off with two bundles of cigars. Would swear to the pri soner. The prisoner said they had got the wrong man. He was in bed at the time stated, and his mother could prove it; but having been committed on the previous evening, ,be had not had an opportunity to send for her. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and Mr. Witham sentenced him to three months hard labour.
