The Sun. — London, England, 1849-10-27 00:00:00

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1849. retirb Lf bat° II Jury, how say you; is the prisoner at the bar, Fre. derick George Manning.' guilty or not gui lt y ? The Foreman—GUlLTY• is the prisoner at the The Clerk—How say you ; bar, Marla Manning, guilty or not guilty ? The Foreman—GUlLTY. The prisoner, Mrs. Manning, here exclaimed with violent gesticulation, " I will not stand here—l have not had a fair trial!" and one of the officers in attend dock was compell to remove her to the front of e , andremaine ed d stationed close behind her for th a few minutes. Mr. Streight then asked the prisoners whether they had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon them in the usual form. A patlse of a few seconds followed, and Mr. Harker, the cries of the court, was about to make the usual proclama- Lion for silence, when The female prisoner, whose extraordinary command of feeling had been conspicuous ithroughout the trial, and who had maintained a stolid indifference up to this moment, advanced to the front of the dock, and, placing her hands on the bar, in a voice which was at first overpowered with intense emotion, which she attempted to subdue, proceeded to address the bench with a broken English accent. The purport of her address was, as nearly as we could un3erstand, or hear it, "My Lord ! I have been areated most cruelly in this country. lam a foreigner, and I have been denied justice. There is no justice or protection here for any foreign subject in this country- I have received no protection or justice from the pro secutors, from the jury, nor from the Court. I am, therefore, convicted unjustly this day in this court. It could have been provad by my counsel and solicitor that money was sent to me from my own country, from abroad, to the Bank of England, to show that those. shares which were found upon me were bought for me, with my own money ; and that witnesses could have identified those shares if they had been called; and when I am charged with taking the life of Mr. O'Connor, I say he was much more than my husband to me. I had known him ever since I was in this country. I have known him for seven years. He was to me a brother and a father, and the best friend I had in the world. He wanted to marry me, and I ought to have married him when I was a widow. I can never forget his regard for me ; and the letters that he wrote will prove the respect and regard he had for me ; and I consider that I, a foreign woman, have had to fight against my own husband's statement which he has made against me, and against the Judges and those who have conducted the prosecution. I complain of the Judges themselves. I have not been treated like a Christian, but like a wild beast of the forest; and all the judges, and the jurors, and the counsel will have it on their consciences that the verdict which has been, given against me is an unjust one, for I am not guilty of the murder of Mr. O'Connor. .How should I wish to do so ? I could not attempt the life of a man who was my most honoured friend on earth, and who would have made me his wife when I was a widow. 1 have been nine years in this country, and I have always had a character for pro bity, and I can account for more than the money which purchased the shares found upon me. I can produce three or four times the money. If I wished to take anybody's life, why should I not take that of my husband, who is the greatest enemy to me in the world? Why should I kill Mr. O'Connor? I could have been married to him in a fortnight if I pleased ; he was my best friend. Because it pleased my husband, from his jealousy, to kill Mr. O'Connor, I am dragged to this bar. I wish I could better explain myself in the English language, hut I cannot." Mr. Harker having made the usual proclamation for silence, Mr. Justice C&ESSWELL then proceeded to pass sentence upon the prisoners :—George Frederick Manning and Maria Manning, you have been con victed of the crime of murder-- Maria Manning (in a loud voice, and with great earnestness) —I have not, my Lord. I will not stand here to hear that said (the prisoner then rushed hastily towards the back part of the dock; upon lying brought back to the front of the dock by Mr. Cope, the Governor, she said)—lt is a shameful thing— yea ought to be ashamed of yourselves, all of you ; and (addressing the karristers in front of the dock) you and the judges too. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL then proceeded—You have been convicted by a patient and intelligent jury, and you have been defended by able counsel Maria Manning—They did not produce any wit- nesses. Mr. Justice CRESS WELL —Who have urged every topic which their ingenuity and experience taught them would be available for your defence. You have been convicted by a jury, upon evidence which I will venture to say could leave no rational doubt upon the mind of any human being who heard it that the verdict was the only one which they could conscien tiowly return. Had they failed to return that verdict, it would. have been very difficult to convince me that .they had not shrunk from the due discharge of their duty, so completely was I satisfied, by the evidence which I heard detailed by the different witnesses, of the guilt of both of you. Maria Manning—The witnesses in my favour were not called. Air. Justice CRESS WELL continued :—The crime of which you have been found guilty is the highest crime of which one individual can be guilty against another, and is at all times a most horrible offence. But this murder is as cold-blooded, as deliberate, and as calculated as I ever remember to have heard or read of. Under the pretence and guise of friend ship —nay more, of affection, for that was the sub scription to the letter inviting the deceased to dinner on the 8 h—under that pretence, this unhappy man was allured to the place where his grave had probably then bean prepared for him, and where too the deed was to be consummated which, no doubt, you had been for days and for weeks concocting. It is one of the most appalling instances of human_ wickedness certainly which the annals of even this court can disclose. He went to your house ; probably he bad been leading a vicious course of life—bow that may be I do not pro fess to know ; but whatever his course of life might have been—without a moment's warning or a mo ment's preparation—without the slightest opportunity of thinking of his past life, whether guilty or inno cent—without any opportunity for endeavouring to ask pardon for any offence which he might have com mitted, this unhappy man was hurried into eternity. The law, more merciful than you, allows you a space of time for preparation for death. It appears that one of you, upon a former occasion, asked the question of a young man where he thought murderers went. The time has now arrived when it will behove both of you to ad< yourselves that question, and to ask it of the man appointed to teach you what you have to hope and what you have to fear. As I can hold out not the slightest prospect of any mitigation of the sentence I am about to pronounce, I am bound to tell you that, so far as human judgment goes, your doom is irretrievably fixed when your sentence is passed ; and I advise you, therefore, to resort with all humility and with all candour to the advice and counsel of the minister of the Gospel appointed to attend you. From him you will receive all the consolation which in your unhappy condition he can, consistently with the dis charge of his duty, afford to you. From him you will learn what you have to fear. No doubt he will point out to you in strong terms the full extent of your guilt; ar,d I am sure he will rejoice to give you, if in his conscience he thinks he can, hopes of pardon hereafter, which in this world you cannot expect. To his care I consign you—to his advice I exhort you to resort. Whatever assertions you may make whatever indignation you may express, and really or affectedly feel, and manifest with respect to the course of proceedings this day—depend upon it that others will judge very differently ; and I doubt if there is one who has heard this trial who is not as well satisfied as I am that the result of it is the only one which is consistent with justice. (His Lordship having put on the black cap, then said)—Having given you this warning and advice, which I pray you once more to receive in all humility, it remains for me but to pronounce the dread sentence of the law, which is, that you be taken hence to her Majesty's gaol for the county of Surrey, and thence to the place of execution, and that you there be severally hanged by the neck until you are dead, and after death that your bodies be buried within the precincts of that gaol in which you shall be confined after the passing of this sentence ; and may the Lord have mercy upon your souls! Mr. Streight—Amen. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL—This court does now commit you, to the gaol of the county of Surrey, there to remain in the custody of the sheriff of the county until your execution takes place. Maria Manning—My Lord, you have given me an unjust judgment. Mr. Justice CR ESWELL— R emove the pr i soners. Upon the 'turnkeys removing her form the dock, she exclaimed, "Base and shameful England ;" and indignantly threw into the body of the court some pieces of rue which she held in her hand, a quantity of which is usually placed in the front of the dock. The male prisoner left the dock without saying a word. The prisoners having been removed from the bar, the court was adjourned at a quarter past seven o'clock.

COURT OF B Ai NiKR UP I CY, Oct. 06. (Before Mr. Commi.isioner GOULBURN.) IN RE J. COGAN. The bankrupt was a glass t urchant, of LeiceAer square, and to- day applied for . his certificate, supported by Mr. Lawrence. The fiat issued two years ago, and the bankrupt passed his last examination in July last. His debts were 3,8801., liabilities 8061., assets about 1,0001. Mr. Reid, for the assignees, opposed upon the ground that the bankrupt had continued to trade after he must have known that he was in a state of insol vency, and that upon the eve of bankruptcy he had placed himself under the care of his attorney, who also had possession of his property. His Holsouß said that, looking at the lapse of time s :nce the fiat issued, the bankrupt might have his cer tiliCate, but it would be of the third class. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Patrick Nakony, alias Roberts, a lad of about 16, was charged evith a burglary. It appeared that the prisoner had contrived 'to secrete himself in the shop of Mr. Grossmith, a soap merchant, 135, Strand, while the premises were being closed on Wednesday evening. The inmates of the house were disturbed in the night, and at about four o'clock in the morning they found some one forcing the panelling of a side-door which led to the private entrance. The police were called in, and they entered the shop, but nearly an hour elapsed before they.dis zovered the prisoner, who, hearing the alarm had concealed himself behind a pile of goods near the ceiling, where he was found completely curled up. Mr. C. Grcssmith identifie d several coats, pocket books, &c , which, with the contents of a cash-box, desk, and some drawers, which the prisoner had broken open, were piled up ready for removal if he had succeeded in effecting an egress without detection. The prisoner, who admitted his guilt, was fully committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. Mr. Russell, the s uperintendent of the B division of police, having communicated to Mr. Broderip, imme diately upon his arrival at the court, that the missing man at Chelsea, M'Gowran or M'Guire, had been found, as stated in our paper of yesterday, and was at present in St. Margaret's workhouse, the magistrate immediately despatched Cain, the gaoler, to the House of Detention, to bring up the three persons, Thomas M'Donald, Mary his wife, and Mary Fox, who *aye undergone several examinations during the last month, and who stood remanded until Wednesday next, with a view of immediately securing the testi mony of M'Gowran, and at once binding him over to prosecute for the robbery. Upon the accused being placed in the dock, M.Gowran, who is a wild, strange looking man, between 50 and 60 years of age, stood foward, and having, in reply to an inquiry from Mr. W. Taylor, the chief clerk, stated that he had a charge to make against the prisoners, proceeded with his evidence, but in a hurried and incoherent manner. He stated that on a Monday after the 20th of September, his mind being so confused that he c o u ld not tell the [ precise date, he received 701. and two silver watches from the offices of the French Embassy, with which he returned home to his lodging in Chelsea, and in the evening he went out and met with Mrs. Conden, who had a few days previously done a little job for him, and went with her to a public house, near Chelsea College. They had not been there long when the male prisoner, M'Donald, came in, and prosecutor, disliking his company, told him to be off, but he remained, and after a little time the prosecutor offered him some drink. They all then left that house and went to another, accompanied by a third person. Upon leaving the second house he was about to see Mrs. Conden home, and the women commenced quarrelling. (Here the prosecutor paused, and was either unable or unwilling to continue the chain of narrative.) At five in the morning he was walking with a policeman near Chelsea College, and had something to drink with him, when the constable told him to take care of his money ; and seeing M'Donald coming out of the court where he lived, he spoke to him and went into his house, and had some re collection about having been there before, and seeing beer brought in. When he entered M'Donald's, at five o'clock, he had his gold in his pocket, and felt it there in the purse ; he sat down on a chair, and shortly afterwards fell asleep, and when he awoke, in what he considered to be about two hours, his money was gone. At the time he fell asleep, Mr. and Mrs. M'Donald, to the best of his belief; were the only persons in the room, but when he awoke Mrs. M'Donald and her husband were gone. Mrs. Fox and two combmakers, who lived in the house, were present, but he did not think Mrs. Fox had anything whatever to do with it. He in quired where Mrs. M'Donald was, suspecting that she had taken his money, and the answer was so unsatis factory that he ran out, and meeting Mrs. ii,i'Donald's little boy and the landlord's girl, made search for her, but thinking she had concealed herself, he abandoned it and went home. After lying down for a few hours he got up, and in a moment of despair left the place altogether. In reply to inquiries from Mr. BRODERIP as to what became of him after that, M'Gowran said he came to Westminster and lodged for a night, then went down to London-bridge and to Horne s, to see about his boxes, and proceeded to Deptford, in the neighbourhood of which, and adjacent places in Kent, he had endeavoured to get a living by hawking hooks. He never went again for his boxes, as his mind being perplexed and disturbed, he thought, as he had lost his money, he might as well lose his clothes, and so he gave up all thoughts of either. He had never since he had been away seen a news paper until last Sunday, when ha took up a portion of the Dispatch, bat saw nothing about himself in it. In continuation of his examination by the Chief Clerk, he stated that he had known the M'Donalds since January last. He declared most positively that he had never given Mrs. M'Donald any of the money, nor entered into any arrangement of any sort to elope with her, which was alleged by her when first taken into custody upon this charge, with the addi tion that he had given her the money as a guarantee of his intentions. The watches were not stolen from him. Mr. BRODERIP having inquired whether the ac cused wished to make any answer to this charge, The male prisoner said he was innocent. The woman M'Donald, in a canting whining tone, addressing M'Gowran said, "Father, I'll not say anything to fill a newspaper ; you stand there, and I stand here, and you know it must be the liquor taken that makes you forget, father, or you'd remember my poor husband sat in his chair, and you lay in his place all that night. My husband is as innocent as my baby, and for the money it's a won der I'd a penny of it left, I am such a fool if I have any money. Father, you'd know how the night passed with us if it wasn't for the drop taken. (To the magistrate)—He gave me the money; he arranged for me to meet him, and he'd not do this, but he for gets it." Fox denied all knowledge of the robbery. Mr. BRODERIP said he felt it his duty to commit them all for trial, but they would be again brought up to-morrow (this day) to have the case completed against them ; but as the case against Fox was slight he would take bail, if she could procure it, for her appearance at the sessions. M'Gowran was then bound over to prosecute, there being some very cogent reasons for the course adopted by the magistrate, to which we shall have an oppor tunity afforded us of further alluding. PARISH OF ST. GEORGE, HANOVER•SQUARE.— Yesterday morning a vestry meeting of the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, was held at the board-room, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, for the purpose of considering an order served upon the churchwardens by the Commissioners of the General Board of Health. under the provisions of the 12ila and 13th Victoria, c. 3, in reference to the burial-ground of the parish, situate at Bayswater. The Rev. H. Howarth, 8.D., the rector, occupied the chair; and amongst the gentlemen present were Lord Foley (one of the churchwardens), the Hon. Captain Duncombe, General D'Oyley, Admiral Bowles, M.P., the Hon. E. Phipps, the Rev. Mr. Fuller, the Rev E. Nepean, and many others. Mr. Chappell, the vestry clerk, having read the correspondence with the Board of Health, a long and interesting conversation ensued with regard to the duties of the Board of Health and the churchwardens in such matters, and some doubts having been expressed with regard to the necessity for discon arming interments fur the future in the Bayswater burial-ground, it was ultimately resolved unanimously, that the order of the Board of Health should be com plied with, and a portion of the graveyard in question be closed forthwith. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Last night, at ten o'clock, a very alarming fire, which in the course of a few minutes gained such an ascendancy as to illuminate great part of London, broke out in the premises occupied by Mr. Bascall, chairmaker, No. 52, Broad wall, Blackfriars, ex tending into Ronpell-street, Lambeth. The information having been dispatched to the engine -stations, in the course of a few minutes the West of England engine arrived, and was followed by numerous others of the London brigade. Unfortunately, although the hose of the engines was stretched, and tho engines well manned, not a drop of water could be obtained for some minutrs, the turncock having been called to an alarm of fire in the neighbourhood of the Westminster-road. The mo ment he arrived an abundant supply of water was ob• tained from the Lambeth mains, from which the Wrst of England and Southwark-bridge road engines were set to work ; but the fire having progressed into the cow houses of Mrs. Jones and Mr. Jame; the poor animals were nearly suffocated with smoke, when Mr. Deputy Barrow, with a gent l eman named Swale, police-sergeant Harris, and several others, succeeded, at the danger of b e i n g gored by th e an i mals ' horns, in , liberating 23 cows and one horse. By eleven o ' c l oc k the f i re was extin guished, but not unt i l Mr.Bascall'a prop er t y was ent i re l y destroyed, and the adjoining pre m i ses i n j ured. The cau se of the fire is unknown. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial office for the Governors of the North American colonies. NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

SINDE'PRIZE MONEY.—The rolls of the unclaimed shares of the officers and men of the 41st Regiment have been received from Bengal at the East India House, and it is to be hoped that the distribution to the several claimants wilt take place without delay. The regiment was under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Booth, whose share amounts to 9771. 12s. Bd. ; the Majors, 6511. 15s. each ; the Captains, 3251. 17s. 6d. each ; the Lieutenants, the Adjutants, the Ensigns, and Assistant Surgeons, 1621. 183. 9d. each ; the Paymaster and Surgeon, 3251. 17a. 61. each ; the Sergeant Major and Quartermaster Sergeant, 81. 2s. lid. each ; the Sergeants, Si. Bs. 7d. each ; the rank and File and Drummers, 21.145. each. Total amount due to the Corps, 8,7221. 143. DUBLIN GARRISON.—A squadron of cavalry and four companies of artillery, are held in readiness to proceed to the Belfast district in aid of the civil power at the Orange procession on the sth of November. The summer trousers for the troops for next year are to .be similar to those used in the present year, but two or three regiments are to wear the new pat tern on trial. The Master General of the Ordnance has issued directions to the Deputy Adjutant General at Wool wich, to cause two brass field-pieces and two 6-inch howitz m.s, captured from the enemy at the battle of Waterloo, to be forwarded forthwith to the Royal Military Hospital at Chelsea, to be placed in the grounds of that establishment. THE NAVAL APPRENTICES.—In consequence of the system of educating, &c., of the naval apprentices in her Majesty's ship Victory, and her tender Rolla, and her Majesty's ship Impregnable, with her tender Nautilus, proving to be very satisfactory, they are ordered to be completed again to 150, having lately been reduced to 90. We are glad to see this. Commander Shadwell, R.N., son of the Vice-Chan cellor of England, is ordered by the Admiralty to hold himself in readiness to commission her Majesty's steam sloop Hecate, at Portsmouth, in a few days for particular and confidential service. Commander Shadwell possesses very impressive talents as an as tronomer, and took an active part in a marine survey not long since in the East Indies. It is gratifying to see such officers obtain employment. DEPOSIT IN STEAM BOILERS.—Mr. Armstrong's apparatus f.or preventing deposit in steam boilers hav ing been tried at Woolwich, and pronounced in the opinion of the officers of the establishment to have failed, the Admiralty have directed its removal. DOCKYARD APPRENTICES.—ThO Admiralty have explained, with reference to their Circular of the 21st of June last, with regard to making working tools in the establishment, that it was not intended to apply to apprentices making tools for their own use. THE ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET.—e-The decease Of Sir James Whitehead, Bart., G.C.B , is, we 'egret to state, hourly expected. He has been gradually sinking daring the past week. We believe this gal lant and highly distinguished Admiral is in the 88th year of his age. He was made a captain nearly 70 years ago at least, having been made a post captain at 18 years of age. TOWN MAJOR or DUBLlN..—Brevet-Major Mylius, 26aa Regiment, we have reason to believe, will be the successful candidate for the situation of Town Major of Dublin. SHIPS READY FOR TAB PENDANT.—The following ships are ready for immediate commissioning at Devonport :—Thunderer, 84, Belleisle, troop two decker, Calliope, 28, Arachne, 18, Racehorse, 14, and Harlequin, 12. The above are in addition to the ad vanced steam-vessels Gladiator, Sampson, Virago, Salamander, Jackal, &c. THE BREVET AND THE ROYAL MARINES.—By some accident the brevet promotion of Captain John's, 1 - I.m , of H.NI S. Ganges, to the rank of Major, has not appeared in the London Gazette during this week. We have reason to believe that the omission will be rectised on Tuesday or Friday next, as the brevet promotion has been made. We are sorry to hear that Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, G.C.8., G.C.M.G., is seriously indis posed. Although this gallant and distinguished offi cer (now the third on the HA of Admirals) is in the 80th year of his age, he visited some of his friends in the early part of the week, at Cork, comparatively hale and hearty. Captain William Castle, Paymaster of the Cavalry depot at Maidstone, is a candidate fur the post of Master of the Ceremonies at Bath, vice General Jervis. THE ROYAL SOVEREIGN CONDEMNED AT LAST.— The Royal Sovereign yacht, for so many years at Pembroke, is condemned at last, and is actually ordered to be taken to pieces, and her name as a yacht to be removed from the Navy List. Her majestic name, however, is being perpetuated in the navy by a 120 gun ship building at Pembroke. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) The mining share market continues in much the same position as last week. A fair demand for shares in leading nines is maintained, and the business actu ally transacted appears, on the aggregate, an average amount. West Buller, South Frances, East Wheal Rose, Bedford, Trehane, &c., have been in request during the week.- North Pools are sought for. The lode in the shaft is much improved, and the mine generally never looked better. West Setons are also in request, the improvements continuing in the 55 fm. level, at pre sent worth 501. per fm. Stray Park and East Pool are represented to have improved in the discoveries recently reported. In Camborne Consols, a valuable discovery has been made in the 20 fathom level, from whence some stones of silver ores have been taken. We have seen some of the specimens having a regular vein of native silver running through them. Two assays have been made, which give respectively 1,275 ounces and 1,0471 ounces to the ton of ore. The specimens we have seen are fur richer. A demand for shares has been the result. In Wheal Tremayne a great improvement has been made ; in one level the lode is stated to be worth 901. per fathom. A profit of 5001. was made during► the last two months, and the probability is that an increase will be made. ' flolmbush is stated to have considerably improved in the Flap-jack lode, now producing 8 tons of ore to the fathom. - - Wz.st Wheal Providence shares have been done at an advance, arising from an improvement in the ad joining mine of Wheal Tremanye ; but a reaction has taken place. At a meeting of Wheal Friendship adventurers, held on Thursday, a dividend of 101. per share was declared, being the third this year. West Buller paid a dividend of 101. per share at the quarterly - naeeting, held on the 16th, and the prospects are represented as considerably improved ; the dividends in future will be bi-monthly. Shares in the following mines have changed hands since our last :—Devon Great Cocsols, East Wheal Rose, Trehane, South Basset, Stray Park, Callington, West Providence, South Frances, Holmbush, Trelawny, Kingsett and Bedford, Tincroft, Camborne Consols, Condurrow, Tamar Consols, East Tamar, Bedford, Mendip Hills, Tremayne, South Tamar, West Treasury, East Pool, &c. Tregorden Mine account, for the months of July and August, was held on the lAth inst. ; the state ment of accounts show a balance of 2491. 17s. 4d. against the adventurers, and a call of 103. per share was made. The agent's report of the mine is very encouraging, and the prospects far more cheering than at the last account. In the 20 fin. level the lode has improved, and the 12 fm. level more than pays for driving, leaving profitable backs for stoping ; the stopes alone will give about 41 tons of very rich ore per month ; and as an improvement is anticipated in the 20 fah level the mine will then be in a profitable position. At the West Wheal Providence quarterly account, there appeared a profit of 529/. 15s. 4.1 , which, with balance from last account, allowed a dividend of 21. per share, carrying to credit a balance of 52/. 7s. 7d. The prospects of the mines are considered more en couraging by an important discovery in Wheal Tre mavne, which immediately adjoins this sett. East Pool account, for August and September, shov..ei a loss of 210/. An important discovery has been made above the 16 fin. level—the lode being worth about 401. per fathom. The other parts of the mine are represented as progressing, without any par ticular change. In foreign mines there have been some considerable transactions, the chief business having been in United Mexicans, which have advanced, St. John del Rey, Copiapo, Imperial Brazilian, National Brazilian, Gua dalcanal, &c. Letters from the Linares Silver-Lead Mines have been received, and report the progress of the opera tions, and the working of the engine in a satisfactory manner. We hope shortly to be enabled to report something more gratifying from deeper levels. St. John del Rey advices are to the 18th August; the profits for the month of July are shown at 3,104/. 124. Bd.. The National Brazilian advices are to the 22d August. The produce from Cocaes, from the 4th to the 13± of August, is mks. 7 1 2 71 ; and from the agent's•report of the Cuiaba mines, the prospect and general appearance of the lode favours the presump tion, that some good ground will shortly be opened at Le Page's stopes. Tne lode in Hamilton's stopes, at Cocaes, being now clear of the cross-course, pre • sents appearances of an improvement, inasmuch that the lode is coming snore together, similar to where, on the eastern side of the cross-course, it was found rich and productive. The United Mexican letters are to the 6th Sept., which represent a great improvement in the mine of Reyes; but the most important feature is, that the new mine of Promontorio, which adjoins the Reyes property, was promising to surpass in productive ness the workings in that celebrated mine. A con ducta is expected to leave for the coast in October, by which a remittance of from 30,000 dolls. to 40,000 dolls. will be forwarded for shipment to the directors. The Bulanos letters, to the 3d of September, give the general operations for the month of August. The Celestina and La Grange Alines made a profit of 1,206 6 7 dolls., and El Bote sustained a loss of 167 2 7 dolls. WA LLA CHIA. The Presse publishes the following letter from Constantinople, Bth inst. :—" No doubt now exists of the preparations which the Russians are now making in Moldavia and Wallachia. It was a thing deter mined on by Russia, the affair of the extradition was merely a pretext, and it now turns out that the en trance into Moldo-Wallachia was with a view to the ultimate possession of those provinces. Since the rupture of relations with the Russian mission, the conduct of the Russians in Wallachia has completely changed; the soldiers and officers treat the Turks with the greatest contempt, and address to them provocations and bravados. From all the arrange ments made and the movements ordered for the corps of General Luders, there is no doubt that even before the winter the Russian troops will cross the Danube near Issatcha ; they will establish themselves in the plain of Dobrecza, and will push forward as far as Constendjy, in order to have a port at their disposal for obtaining supplies. This will be a preparatory campaign, which will be carried still further in the spring. Russia, while making the se preparations for war on the Ottoman territory, will delay the nego tiations, in order to gain time, reserving to herself the power to break them off whenever it may suit her purpose. Sir . Stratford Canning is authorised to dis pose of the fleet, commanded by Admiral Parker, as he may think necessary. A courier, which has ar rived from Vienna, has, it ii said, decided the Aus trian Internuncio to leave Constantinople. His de parture, however, cannot be considered as a proof of a definitive rupture, as he long since tendered his resignation." THE TRIAL OF THE MANNINGS. MR. SERGEANT WILKINS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—An important omission occurs in the Times' report of the Mannings' trial, which at the first blush would almost seem to have been designed. It states that the Attorney-General, in his reply, said that he thought that Mr. Ballantine was justified in com plaining of the course that had been adopted by the Learned Sergeant, whereas the Attorney-General distinctly said that Mr. Ballantine was NOT justified. Every other daily journal has correctly reported the passage. I am, Sir, yours, &c., ONE WHO WAS PRESENT AT THE TRIAL. [Doubtless the little negative escaped the ear of the Times' reporter.—ED. Sun] ADAIIRALS, CAPTAINS, and GENERALS for the NEXT 0 NE HUNDRED YEARS. England has a capital naval and military stock. She has 150 Admirals, and only 15 of them are employed. Wl.at a notion it must give a foreigner of the unbounded wealth of our country, when he considers that we can afford to keep 135 Admirals merely to help 15 others to do their work ! This mon ster drove of .Hyde Park Drakes--these 135 Nelsons on horseback—must be quite happy to take a turn occa sionally at the wheel of some Chelsea steamer, if simply to keep their bands in. We should not much wonder if one bought the berth of Captain on board the half penny Moonshine; if another had his flag flying from the stays of the Lass of Richmond; whilst every Waterman that steams to Greenwich or Woolwich, will probably have either a Red, or a Blue, or a Yellow Admiral on its paddle-box, shouting as lively as possible, "Ease 'er !" " Stop 'er !" They must do something to keep up their nautical knowledge, or else when they are ordered to take the command of a squadron, they will know less about a ship than even Lord John Russell or the Earl of Eilenborough. But if we have an ocean of Admirals, with only a Trafalgar-square basin to put them in, we have like wise a whole parkful of captains, and nothing but charity boys to give them to lead to victory. The ignorant reader, who has no notion of the im mense resources of his country, will scarcely believe that we possess no less than 780 captains. He pro bably did not think there were so many in the whole world, but whilst he is rather pleased to learn that England is so richly provided with captains, he can not help wondering how she can want such a large number. His astonishment is perfectly natural, and we should know better than to laugh at it, for Eng land does not want 780 captains any more than she wants 780 prime ministers, and so she very wisely employs only as many as she wants, and pays the remainder for ravaging the ball-rooms and laying waste all the young ladies' hearts, or doing anything they please—which liberal privilege the captains generally avail themselves of. England, therefore, only employs 180 captains, and as she does not want the other 600, they are allowed to keep company with the 135 admirals, who are in a similar predicament to themselves, and have nothing to do, and are only kept in for fear there should be something for them to do at some time or other. The same generosity is shown by our economical Government to our brave generals, for, whilst we have 340 generals, we have only 120 regiments, so that every regiment has nearly three generals a-piece. We have admirals, without ships; captains, without soldiers; and generals, without regiments ; but this, far from being a waste, is the strictest economy, and is easily explained by the simple fact, that it is much easier to build a ship than to make an admiral; and that it is the simplest thing in the world to enlist a soldier and raise a regi ment, but the great difficulty is to find captains and a general for them.—Punch.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 22. —Up, and to Church, toge ther with my Wife, to see Pall Harley married this Morning to Dick Baker; On both Sides mighty genteel People, and their Guests, all except Our selves, such as they do call Carriage-Company. Pall, in a Dress of White Satin, and Orange Flowers in her Hair, very pretty and demure, and Dick, wearing a Sky-Blue Coat, Crimson Velvet Waistcoat., Yellow Moleskin Trousers, and Japanned Boots, with Lavender Kid Gloves, and a Carbuncle in his Shirt Front, a great Buck. Dick and every Man of us with great White Favours at our Breasts, mighty conspicuous and, methought, absurd, the Things serving neither for Use nor Ornament. But to see how grand were old fat Mr. Harley and Mr. Baker, and how mare grand were their fat Wives, and how fine and serious they looked and how high they carried their Noses ! And when the Ring was put on Pall's Finger (Dick first having fumbled for it in the wrong Pocket), her Mother did weep, and, falling for support on Mr. Harley, nigh overthrew him But the pretty modest Bridesmaids did most of all take me, which my Wife observing, I saw, did trouble her. The Ceremony over, and the Fees paid, and the Bride kissed by some of the old Gentlemen, we to old Harley's to Breakfast, where what Wiggyns do call a Grand Spread, very fine bath for Show and Meats, every Dish ornamented with Flowers and Gim cracks, the cold Chickens trimmed with Ribands, and the Bride• Cake, having upon it Wax Cupids and Tur tle-Doves, was pretty. So down we sat, Dick stiff and sheepish, and Pall also, shamefaced, and trying to hide her Blushes with a Nosegay. Pall's Mother in Tears, ' and her Father solemn, and the Bridesmaids mostly bashful, but a little black one that sate by me very merry, and I did by-and-bye pull Crackers with her, till my Wife suddenly thrust a Pin into my Arm, to the Quick. The Company first silent, till a Friend of the young Pair, who did say that he had known them both from Babies, did propose their Health in a pretty pathetic but confused Speech, and, breaking down in the Midst of a Sentence, conclude, by wishing them long Life and Happi ness, with great Applause. Then the Bride-Groom to return thanks, but, perplexed with his Pro nouns, obliged to stop short too, but, he said, over came by his Feelings. The Champagne flowing, we soon merrier, especially an old Uncle of - Dick's who began to make Jokes, which did trouble the Bride and Bride-Groom. But they presently, with much Crying and Kissing and shaking of Hands, away in a Coach-and-Four, amid the Cheering of the Crowd in the Street and the Boys shouting to behold the fine Equipage ; and Servants and old Women looking on from the opposite Windows. We eating and drinking with great Delight till late in the Afternoon, but at last broke up, the Multitude saluting us each as we stepped into the street, and the Policeman and Beadle that were guarding the Door in great State touching their Hats. A grand Marriage Breakfast do give a brave Treat to the Mob, in Show, and to the Company in Eating and Drink'ng, and is great Fun to all but those most concerned. But to think what a Fuss is made about most Marriages, and how little Reason for it is shown by most People's married Life ! Punch. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. DIVIDENDS.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 26.—Tlie arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tuesday have been to a fair extent, but from foreign ports they are unusually limited. The ex ports continue to be quite unimportant. The trade has been extremely quiet, and without material alteration in the value of any article. A great deal of rain has fallen during the last two or three days. At this day's market there was only a thin attendance of the town and country trade, and an extremely slow sale was experi enced for wheat, at barely the prices of Tuesday for foreign, while a reduction Id per 701 b. had to be sub mitted to in the few transactions reported in new Irish. Oats and Oatmeal were in limited demand at our late quotations. Barley, beans, and peas were rather easier to buy. Flour, both sacks and barrels, were difficult to move, and less money would have been taken to effect sales. Indian corn remains unchanged in value, with a limited retail demand. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 26.—About 450 hhds and tierces West India is the quantity reported as sold here since our last, and prices were generally 6d per cwt higher than those current at the end of last week ; in other descriptions of raw sugar the transac tions are unimportant. The refined market is more lively, and prices are perhaps rather stiffer. Rum is in fair demand at former rates.—Bristol Mercury. EXETER MARKETS, OCT. 26.—Cattle market—The market was well but not largely supplied. Fat bullocks sold at about the same rate as last week, 8s per score for very good beef, and perhaps a rather larger sum in a few instances. For one very fine heifer, estimated at 34 score, and fit for the Christmas market, IGI was asked, or about 9; 6d per score, but it was not sold, nor must the price asked for it bo taken as any criterion of those obtained. Really good cows and calves met a brisk sale, at 101 to 121 each, but inferior ones were not much asked for. Poor barreners were a drug, and not worth more than 43 to 4s 61 per score, but good fresh articles sold at 5; to 5s 6d. There were but very few steers in the mar ket. The supply of sheep was moderate; fat wethers must be quoted 41d to sd; ewes, 4d to 4id per lb. Keeping sheep sold freely, at 30s to 33; each. Pork Carcases—The supply was rather less, than that of last week, but there is no alteration in prices which ranged from 6s to 7s 6d per score. Pannier—Tur keys, 4s 6d to 6s each; geese, 4s to 6; ditto; ducks, 33 Gcl to 4s 6d per couple; fowls, 2s to 4s do.; par tridges, 2s 6d to 3; per brace; pheasants, 5s 6d to 6s ditto; woodcocks, 5s to 63 ditto; snipes, is 6d ditto; hares, 23 Gd to 3s each; roasters, 3; 6d to 5s 6d ditto; butter, lld to Is per Ib; eggs 14 for Is; potatoes, 8d per score ; turnips, 4d ditto; onions, 141 b for ls. Corn Exchange, one o'clock.—lt had been announced that the market would commence at twelve o'clock to-day, but at that hour there were only two factors and a very few growers present, and up to one o'clock but little business has been done. The factors refuse to give the prices of last week, and the growers do not seem inclined to give way. Some very good samples have changed hands at 5s 3d, and hitherto but little has been done at a higher figure. Foreign wheat retains its value, for any inferior reds 3Ss per quarter is asked, for good ditto 42., and for fine wheat Belgian, 47; per quarter; but these prices must be considered nominal. In barley but little is doing; 3s 6d per pushel seems to bo about the figure which the malsters were inclined to buy at. The oat market is very firm; new oats must be quoted at 2s to 2s 4d, and old oa's 2s 8d per bushel. Fine flour 30s to 32s per sack of 2801bs. BARNSLEY, OCT. 25.—A very considerable amount of business was done in wheat at an advance of 29. per quarter. Barley sold at 11116 4d per qr, and butter from 10d to is per lb. KNARESBOROUGH, OCT. 24.—The market was very barely supplied with corn of all descriptions, and pur chasers very scarce. Prices continue much the same as last week. Wheat 4s lid to 5s 63, beans, 4s 3d to 5s per bushel, barley 265 to 28s, oats 16s to 20s per qr. WETUERBY, OcT. 25.—White wheat 17s to 20s, red do 14s to 173 ; barley 26s to 303 per qr, beans 12s to 143 per had, oats Bid to Ild per stone. RIPON, OCT. 25.—Our market was well supplied with wheat, but it was generally soft, and sales very dull at last week's prices. The supply was also good of oats and barley. In prices we note no alteration. No beans were offered for sale. White wheat., 5s 6d to 63 3d, red do 4s 9d to 5s 9d, barley 24s to 303 ; oats 15s 6d to 22; 6d per quarter. SCARBOROUGH, OCT. 25.—With a fair supply of each kind of corn at our market to-day, the price of wheat and oats remains the same as last week. For barley we must reduce our quotations is to 23 per cp. In flour no change.

MARRIAGE IN THE ROTHSCHILD FAMlLY.—Wed nesday last was appointed for the wedding, at Frankfort- on-the-Maine, of Baron William de Rothschild, son of Baron de Rothschild, of Naples, to a grand-daughter of B. Solomon de Rothschild, of Vienna. Nearly all the members of the houses of Rothschild at Vienna, Naples, London, and Paris came to Frankfort to attend the solemn ceremony. Sir Moses and Lady Montefiore were also present. The bridegroom is very young and hand some. It is most remarkable, however, that he attends very little to business, but is mostly engaged in religious study and in the affairs of Jerusalem. He is a punctual attendant at the synagogue twice every day of the week, and wherever he goes is accompanied by his Hebrew tutor. Indeed, his incessant devotion to the religion of his ancestors has secured for the young Baron a universal reputation.—Jewish Chronicle. AN ECCENIRIC TRAVELLER.—A gentleman, named Randall, a solicitor in Southampton, was in the habit of taking a tour every year, which occupied him between two and three months. He would leave Southampton suddenly, scarcely acquainting his confidential clerk that he was going, and no one would know anything about him until his clerks would receive a letter from him dated perhaps from St. Petersburgh or Vienna. About two months since he l.ft Southampton suddenly and secretly, according to his usual practice, and no one knew of his whereabouts until his clerks received letter, about a fortnight since, from him from Canada; since which information has been received that Mr. Randall was taken ill of cholera, died, and was buried is twelve hours, in America. Had he died a day before, no one in this country would probably have ever heard anything about his decease; but he happened to have been introduced to some one about a day before he was taken ill, which person attended him in his illness, and has written to Southampton the particulars of his death. Mr. Randall was one of the most talented men in his profession in the south of England. He was unmarried , and about 45 years of age. He was a great connoisseur in pictures, and his collection is said to be worth 20,000 4 Mr. Randall has died wealthy, and has left a large pot' tion of his property to charities and schools in South' ampton. He was much respected in the town, and the news and particulars of his death have caused a great sensation there.

In these cities the company was obliged to depend upon the honesty of the ir servants. From information which had reached Mr. Stovi° the managing director, persons were sent down to Rich: mond on different days, and by different trains, withon; tickets, and the fares on their arrival there were paid L. t , Williams, whose duty it was to pay them over to lu company. The company's rules required that t he ticket-taker receiving money under such circa ) ; stances is at once to enter the same j book kept for the purpose, and also on a printe d sheet or form prepared for the purpose, and forWer the latter to the audit office at the principal statinl These sheets had been examined from day to day, 1° in no instance were the sums paid for the purpose detection accounted for.
