'Yester; day several constables Were dispatchk el' to Seathamp ton, but we have been unable to ascertain wheth-r any tidings have . been received froM Jersey. Iki point ot fact nothing that can at present be stated as to Maneing's whereabouts leads to any certain concicsien on the subject; and with this preliminary we may mention that Inspector Field was dispatched on Monday to Ply mouth in consequence of a communication received by the Commissioners of Police, stating that there was every reason to believe that Manning was eo board the Constant emigrant ship, bound to Australia. Yesterday fortnight a person, corresponding . in every respect with Manning's description, ca!led' at:- the office of the shipping agent for the purpose of taking his passage to _Australia, and when told the. price would be 15/., he said he would pay 131., being all the money he had in the world. He went away, ; and said he would call again in the course of the day to see whether they would take the 13/.. • The gen tleman whom he saw on that occasion does : n.4 recol lect seeing the person again, but. he bas ;on reason to believe that the party referred to is pn tkoard r ti r ie vessel, from the fact of a person paying the:sumltit the office for his passage. It was expected rthatlhe' Constant would be at Plymouth ,yesterdaY,l . : , tikloy, and should Manning be on board he *meth- ' ately apprehended by Field. The following details connected with the murder and its supposed perpetrators may be found interest ing. It appears that Mr. Dloxey, the superintendent of -the Edinburgh police, was prepared to furnish the jury, at the inquest on Monday, with . information 'respecting Mrs. Manning, which the Coroner refused to allow him to give. It appears that - in the course of a conversation he bad with Mrs. Manning, he told her that it was asserted that the murder had taken 'place on Thursday_ n i g ht, th e 9 t h o f August. S h e said, "Well, if a murder was committed in the house on Thursday, it must have been during my absence, ',for I went out at four o'clock, - and did no. return till ; late in the evening." Mr: Morey said, " You are charged with going tOllr. O'Connor's lodgings, and ; stealiug.his property on. the Friday, and it is stated that it was impossible for 'you to have got at that property without Mr. O'Connor's keys, which he always carried with him." Mrs. Nianning suid, " Well, I know nothing about the keys, but hearing 'be was missing I certainly went to his house and took ~the property, which was my own." Mrs. Manning, while sitting in the charge-room 'at Southwark police-court on Friday last, was ob 'terved by one of the constables to be reading the bill offering a reward for_ her husband. The constable . 'asked her if sh 2 knew where Mr. Manning was. 'She said, "No; but it's no use your looking after him for he's a long way from here ; in tact he is out Of the country." One of the female watchers asked her whether she intended to have any person to defend her. She said she did not care about a solicitor, but she was determined, if possible, to have Mr. Cock burn, who conducted the defence of Poole and Nightingale at Exeter. • , r fiV7 , l 4 Ir 7A , MS rip N°. 17,762.] LONDON, WEDNESDAY .ti 't = t; ta AUGUST '29, 1849.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ---- PORTSMOUTEI t AUG. 28.—The only point worthy of notice to-day in connexion with the Admiralty visit the substitution of the Cormorant steam-stoop for the Sphynx, as the appointment of Commander 11. Schonberg, the latter vessel having sustainel such extensive injuries by her collision with the merchant barque : Princess as to require some weeks' repair. With regard to the interchange of the courtesy of the royal salute with the Russian frigate on Sunday, we stated that a poor Marine sentinel had been saddled with the blame of not " reporting" the Rus sian's compliment. We had no time, as we stated, at the late moment at which the information was im parted to us, to inquire into its authenticity. We now find it was an experienced officer of Marines on duty at the main guard, who stands charged with the grave offence of not reporting the Russian compli ment, and has been placed under arrest accordingly. — Times.

" From the north, at the approach of winter, the Herald again turned her prow towards the south, r.nd after surveying the island of Guadeloupe, which is about 100 miles to the north of Mazatlan, arrived at the latter place on the 21st of November. From Mazatlan she continued down the coast, touching at San Blas, and arrived at Panama in January, 1849. Continued the survey of the coast from Point Alala, the northern point of Panama Bay, to Point Barka, the southern point of Costa Rica, in lat. 8 deg. north. " This completes the survey of the entire west coast of South America by the British Government; and, in fact, the whole South American continent has now been surveyed by the British and French—by the latter on the east coast as far south as the River Plate, and by the former from the Plate round to eight degrees north i❑ the Pacific. "From Costa Rica the Herald came direct to these islands, and arrived here on the Bth of May. After a short stay here, she sailed again on the 19th for Petropaulovskoie, to carry out the attempt of the past year, which she did not then succeed in doing. Ntlitel• Of tfi'e ship, Wlco'very obligingly coin.: municated the above information, that of all the places touched at on tke cruise they had found none that equalled Honolulu as a pleasant and agreeable place, for. its intelligent society, and for the peaceful and orderly character of the town. May such commen dations ever be merited. " We have no means of knowing exactly, but have estimated the distance sailed by the Herald since leaving England at 50,000 to 60,000 miles. And now, instead of turning her course homeward, after a cruise of nearly four years, she again launches out among the icebergs of the Arctic sea, in pursuit of an object that does honour to humanity, and reflect great credit on the Government that sends her forth. We hope that success may attend her, and that she may enjoy the satisfaction of affording relief to an expe dition that has awakened the most lively interest and sympathy of the whole civilized world. " Surveying voyages, like the one in which the herald has been engaged, are not usually attended by those brilliant incidents that attract the notice of the world, but their results and benefits are chiefly reduced to practical value in the form of maps and charts; and while laborious and self-denying to the officers and men engaged in them, are equally creditable to those naticns that sustain them for the benefit of all com mercial countries. - - "The Pandora, which has been connected with the Herald in her surveying cruise, is now here, and will sail in a day or two for England. "We have seen it intimated in some of the Ame rican prints, that, under the cover of surveying, she had, in fact, been engaged, i n s m ugg li ng . W e h ave good authority for contradicting this assertion, and for expressing our disbelief of it. As a national vessel, she was under obligaticn to render assistance to British merchants; and doubtless, during the troubles that have occurred upon the west coast during the past few years, she may have thus been so em ployed. But that a British Government vessel is justly chargeable with the crime of smuggling, we have no idea whatever. Euglabd has too much trouble in preventing the violation ,of her own excise laws, not to rofrain from allowing such a breach, by one of her commissioned vessels, of the laws of another kingdom. Self-interest and self-respect, had she no higher motive, would prevent such an infringement of the rights of others. Her rights England has no occasion to wave or secure by evasion." RECOVERY Cr THE LOST JOURNALS OF TUE DOUSE or LORDS may be recollected that at the great couflagraiion of the Houses of Parliament, which took place in 1834, several books and important papers were either lost or consumed, amongst which were some of the marescript journals of the House of Lords. Within the se few days, however, it has been ascertained that a portion of the latter at least was not consumed, and their existence was brought to light in the most sin gular manner. It appears a few days since that a gen tleman residing at Wulworth was passing along the Walworth-road when his attention was attracted by some old books, &c., in tbo shop of Mr. Terry, cheesemonger, at the corner of Amelia.-strtet, and which the latter bad purchased as waste paper. On closer inspection he dis covered no less than twelve books which appeared to be lie journals or daily minutes of the proceedings of the House of Lords, comprising - the following dates: -1780, 1781, 1787, 1788, 1789, 1790,1791, 1792,1798,1799,1801, 1803, 1805,1806. The gentleman accordingly, on Monday purchased one of the apparent journals, with which he repaired to the library of the House of Lords to learn if it was genuine, when some of the parties there instantly detained it, and having been informed where theretset were, yesterday morning three messengers pro ceeded Mr. Terry's, and purchased the whole 12, a w e e o h ..n r s e rn a l e i ) d proved to be the actual journals of the b docu dates. The price they paid for thesseac imp ortant paper, being no ments was merely that of common n W cwt. The account more than 1/. Iss. for nearly e e e some time since, put given by Mr. Terry is, that chased them, wi.h nearly a ton weight of other papers, the late Mr. Croft, one of the at a sale of th e e e e ffects e o of Lords. How they came to librarians of th remain so long in t hat . gentleman's possession, or to be ' mingled with his private effects, is at present i nvo l ve d i u m ystery. It has not yet been intimated to th e gentle .n w h o was instrumental in the recovery o f t h e a b ove wmh-e-ifier he will receive any reward for hi s va l ua b le in- ' f or mation. GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at their offices, 1, Lombard -street; John Wilkin, Esq., in the chair. A report and statement of the accounts for the half. year ending the 30th of June last were read and received with much approbation; by these it ap peared that the affairs of the company continued in a most prosperous state. The usual dividend, free of in come. tax, was ti clued, and thanks being voted to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated. OFENISG OF . THE CAL EXCHANGE"--We are authorised to contradict a statement which has appeared in sever..l of the newspapers, to the effect that the New Coal Exchange will be opened on the 3d of September. The building will not be completed at that time, and it will act be publicly opened until it is finished. There - appears to - be no doubt that arrangements were made tor perpetrating the murder on Wednesday, the Bth inst. It will be recollected that Mr. O'Con nor was on that day invited to dine at Minver place, but for some cause at present unexplained he did riot go until the evening, when lie was accompanied by Mr. Welsh, which circumstance, of coarse, prevented _ them from carrying out their - design. The :uiposition . that such was their intention is borne out by the" following letter from Manning to Mist Iglissey, sister to the_witness of that name, in which it will be seen that he strorgly impr(sses upon hfr,the necessity of letting him haVe the money he claimed by Wednes ' day, the Bth inst. " London, August 5, - 3, Minver-place, New Weston-street, Berznondapy. " Dear Miss,—l called at a your brother's lodgings on Saturday evening, and he informs me that ho' in tends to go home on Monday. .The reason, I be lieve, for his delay, in London is, he could not register. Respecting the Ws. I paid to Mr. O'COrinor, your brother. knows he was indebted to him for that amount, and Mr. O'Connor culled several times at my house for the money, which I paid him, knowing that your brother had no money. If you wish for a receipt from Mr. O'Connor I can obtain one from him immediately. I trust you will not fail in forwarding me the money on Wednesday.—l am, Miss, yours moat respectfully, " FREDERICK GEORGE MANNING. " Miss Massey, Swanstone-hall, Derb3 shire." Miss Massey did not send the amount, her brother (who had in the meantime arrived in Derbyshire) having advised her not to do so, as the bill, which was originally 131., had been altered to 151. On the morning of the 9th Mr. Massey received the following letter : “ 3. Id Inver. nlace_yaw_FAs..tn” -# " Sir,—l had a letter from your sister on Monday morning, stating that she would remit me the amount of my bill on Wednesday without fail. She has not acted to her word. I must really be candid with you, for I think you are the- instigator of it by false representations to your friends. You're well known being guilty of telling great falshoods. Has' regards the 103. I paid to Air. O'Connor, you knew you were indebted to him for that amount, and also 7s. 6d. due to me. If the bill is not paid by return of post I shall take immediate proceedings, and then I shall prove to your friends what you are capable of doing.—Yours, respectfully, " FREDERICK GEORGE MANNING. " Mr. W. Massey, Swanstone• hall, Derby hire." Manning, it appears, had endeavoured to raise from Bainbridge, the broker, a few days prior to the murder, 101. on Massey's hospital certificate, hut Mr. Bainbridge refused to haie anything to do with it. The following facts as tdithe connexion of the Mannings with Poole and Nightingale have riot yet been made public:— As soon as•the extraordinary robberies of the mails on the Great Western Railway, on the 2d of January last, were communicated to the Post office authorities, they immediately employed two detectives (Langley and Field) to investigate the matter, with a view to tvcertain whether any other persons besides Poole and Nightingale (who were then in custody) were impli cated in the matter. These officers satisfied them selves beyond a doubt that the robberies were con cocted at the White Hart Inn, Taunton, some three months previously ; but that Poiile, Nightingale, and ' Manning were foiled in carrying out their of je•ct by Mrs. Manning, who it appears - had . had a violent quarrel with her husband, and out of revenge com municated to Mr. Hive, the brewer, and another gentleman at Taunton, the intention to rob the mails, at the same time disclosing to theM how it was to: le done, and the disguises, &c., the parties intended to adopt on the occasion. Before the: robberies were perpetrated Manning and his wife had disposed of the White Hart Inn. Of course the robberies, when they became known at Taunton, excited t;itepicion, as they were perpetrated precisely in flee man lier Mrs. Manning had described. \Filen the officers made inquiries at Taunton, they could not succeed in finding any person, who knew the Mannings' whereubout, ws they had elisappt and lrom that place most mysteriously. After several weelia' search they were traced to a lodging in the. Mile (aid road, near to where Mr. O'Connor lived. The dile( ra on going to the house, found Mr. and Mrs. Nanning, whom they at once made acquainted with the object of their mission, and requested permission to search the apartments. Mrs. Manning said, " Oh, by all means; here are our boxes ; you are at pe, feet liberty r:ais,l,:feol : a k a , to examine all we have." The officers did but nothing was discovered relating to the IGl4:pries. Mrs. Manning denied that she had ever . giv .n et t i t.r ll , rl information as to the robberies, and 171_3 gated next day on the . 11 Ille rewepizi;.c pp_nt b_ coihico,,o of the Post-office solicitor, she had rio -V re M having done so.

THE PACIFIC. SIR J. FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. From the Sandwich Islands we have accounts of the 26th of May inclusive. The Polynesian co:ttains the following information of the English surve3s in the Pacific:— " SURVEY OF THE WESTERN COAST OF AMERICA, SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRANKLIN, ETC. " Iler Britannic Majesty's ship Herald, Captain Kellett, C. 8., which sailed hence on the 19th instant, left England on the 26th of June, 1845, and touched at Rio Janeiro, the Falkland Islands, Conception, Valparaiso, and Callao. Thence to New Granada, where she commenctd hey special object of surveying in the bay of Choco. Surveyed river Buenaventura as high up as the town of the same name. This is the best harbour on the west coast ; but this, even, has but twelve to si xteen feet of wa t er . Af ter com pleting the survey of this bay, proceeded to Panama, thence to the Straits of Juan de Fuca, in latitude 48 deg. north. Remained in the straits three months, and surveyed the south part of Vancouver's Island, and the north part of Oregon Territory in the straits. " From the Straits of Juan de Fuca the Herald returned south to San Francisco, in California, sur veying some islands on the coast, and reached Mazat lan, in Mexico, in November, 1846. Thence down the Mexican coast to Panama, where she arrived in the middle of January, 1847. Spent three months in surveying the Pearl Islands, in Panama Bay, whence she proceeded to Callao to provision and refit, and arrived in June. " After refitting she proceeded to Guayaquil, and surveyed from Santa Clara Island up to the city of Guayaquil, a distance of about forty miles. From this point she completed the survey ,of the South American coast as high up as Panama Bay, by Fe bruary, 1848. " Here the Herald received orders from England to proceed to Kamschatka, to seek out a proper position for, and to establish and provision her Britannic Ma jesty's ship Plover, that she might be in readiness to communicate with and relieve the wants of Sir John Franklin, in case be should succeed in finding his way through from the east. After a very rough and tedious passage, during which she was towed some 600 miles by her Britannic Majesty's steam-frigate Samson, she arrived in ninety days at Petropaulov skoie, in Asiatic Russia. After recruiting and re ceiving every possible civility and attention froth the Russians, she crossed the sea of Kamschatka to Norton's Sound, in Russian America, to procure interpreters and baiders (light seal-skin boats), the latter of which she failed to procure. This employed -her till August, 1848. " From Norton's Sound the Herald proceeded northward, and in September anchored off the Island of Chamisso, in Kotzebue's Sound, in about 67 deg. N. lat. Here she remained about a month, cruising about and exploring the bay; but failed to hear any thing of Sir John Franklin and his expedition, or of the Plover, with whom she expected to fall in, and to establish whom in winter quarters she was dispatched. _ _ _ ‘-‘ The Plover left these islands, it will be recol lected, on the 24th of August last, too late in the tea son, probably, to reach her rendezvous before the Herald left. She has not since been heard from at these islands. alar not pre 3 1 / 5 p. to ana e ei3c° e 0 Ter• ;cot' r•-' , '''' r tb° of 0 Of ,st ote o rt eric i ‘ ISW Oaf l , ner s , ,Itte. ,s.s. ----- ton' eillY lieg ii► f the age d 01 01 age d ;land Pa rt, ,lif i te of ..--- . 7 at o f 11 2 i 1 Paid.
