The CORONER.—I cannot take that evidence. We must have the clerk from the Bank to prove it. It is to be regretted that the clerk who changed the note should not be here. Mr. Basset recalled.—l think I should know the party to whom I paid the money amongst a thousand. The 1001. note was changed on the afternoon of the day on which I paid it. The CORONER.—With respect to the notes I do not think any further evidence is necessary. What say you, gentlemen ? The jury—One case is as good as a hundred, and the 5/. note is traced to the possession of Mrs. Manning. Charles Bainbridge, 14, Bermondsey-square—l received a summons on Saturday to atttend here, but I had business in the west which I could not well neglect. I am a furniture dealer, residing at 14, Bermondsey-square. I knew Mr. and Mrs. Man ning, who resided at 3, Minver-place, New Weston street. I have known them for about seven weeks from this time. I was introduced to them by Mrs. Hornby, of Bertnondsey, a furniture dealer, and was told they had some furniture for sale, and I went to the house with Mrs. Hornby. I saw Manning when we went to the house. I never knew him before. There was nothing done on that occasion, and we were told to call again. I went myself next morning at nine, and Manning came to the door, and told me he had sold the goods. I said I was sorry for that, and he told me to call again. I went again at twelve, and Mrs. Manning showed me over the house, and I took an inventory of the furniture. I asked what she wanted for the furniture, and she said, " 161." I bade 13/. for it, and she told me to call again. I did so in a day or two afterwards, and I then saw Man ning, and he talked about the furniture, and he said I should have it for 131. 10s. I said I would not give more than 131. He then called me into the back parlour and said, " I have a very respect able young man lodging in my house," and said, be had been rather " fast,' and wanted to borrow 101. on his medical certificate on the hospital, and Man ning asked me to advance the money. I became the purchaser of the goods on the Monday previous to the body being found. On that day Manning came to me and said he was going to dispose of the furniture; and after some conversation I paid him 15s. deposit, and he wanted to know if I would remove it next morning at five. We agreed for 131. I told him he had better not move it at five in the morning, as it would look bad ; and I ordered the van to conic at ten. He came to me again about four o'clock the same day, and said, "Now, governor, I am going t o atop in town another f or t n i g h t an d I have come to pay the 15s. deposit back again." I did not make any remark, but almost in the same breath he said, " You have apartments to let; I suppose I can come and stop here." He asked me if r had a large bed room up stairs, and I told him yes, and he said, " Will you take 9s. a week ?" and after some conver sation we agreed for 10i. He then went for Mrs. Manning; and he returned in about twenty minutes and said he had started her off into the country. He brought a bottle of brandy with him when he returned, and he drank a good deal. The goods were removed on the Tuesday, the following morning. I purchased no other than household goods, but when we went in on Tuesday morning there was a lot of rubbish — clothes, and the like which he said I might have. I left some bed furniture and other things in the house on Tuesday, which I was to send for on the Wednes day, and amongst them was a railway guard's coat, and some wearing apparel. There were twenty-eight pieces of linen which he wished me to take charge of until he came back again. When I went there to take possession of these articles on Wednesday morn ing, I found the door locked inside, and I could not get admittance. I then went to Mr. Coleman, the landlord, and afterwards to the police-station, and informed the inspector on duty of everything that had taken place. Mr. Coleman told me that a person had been missing. Upon my return to the house, accom panied by Burton, the police-constable, I removed the things from the house. I cannot enumerate what I took away at that time, but there were two sets of bed furniture, garden tools, pans, a basket with a lid to it, and numerous other articles, and amongst them some old dresses and stockings. There was also a shovel, which I think Manning handed to me. It is an iron coal-shovel. I took all the things home and put them in my yard. I did not myself use the shovel. The shovel now produced is the one I took away. Mrs. Bainbridge, wife of the last witness—l re ceived some of the goods from my husband, and I went to the house, No. 3. There were crockery, a few old dresses, and other articles, which we hare still at home, with the exception of those taken to the station. I gave the shovel produced into the custody of the officer on Wednesday last. It was one of the articles removed from No. 3. I gave two dresses and a pair of stockings up to the police. On examining the dress produced (a striped cotter' one), it appeared to me to have been washed out in a hurry, and put to the fire to dry hurriedly. It has not been ironed out, and was put away before it was properly dried, as it is mildewed I never saw the dress before I got it on the Wednesday. Burton, the officer, stated there were stains of blood upon pert of the dress. Mr. Lockwood, surgeon—There is no doubt that some of the marks are blood, and some have arisen from scorching. Mrs. Bainbridge—There were two rakes and two other tools taken from the house; but no screw-drivers, or anything of that sort. Manning slept at my house on the evening of this day fortnight, and left on Wed nesday morning about eight o'clock. He took a cab and rode from the house. I did not take the number of the cab. On Monday evening he went out several times to the Horns Tavern, Bermondsey square, for soda- water and brandy. No one called upon him that evening. He took in a bottle of brandy with him, and said he should like a lobster for supper. I thought he seemed very tipsy, and he lay on the couch for half an hour, and fell asleep. I saw him drink the bra n dy i n hi s tea, one cup after the other. The witness, immediately after retiring, returned and said—l asked him if be was going to sleep in his own house that night, and he said, " No, I would not sleep there for 201." The CORONER—Did any person tell you to say so ? Witness—Yes. The CORONER—Then I shall not take it down. William Cahill, in the employ of Bainbridge—The shovel produced is the one taken from the house No. 3, Minver-place. Mr. Lockwaod, after examining the shovel, said— There appears to be human hair upon this shovel, embedded in what looks and feels like clay. Ido not think this instrument was used in inflicting the in juries which appeared upon the head of the deceased. This instrument could not have done so. There were no appearances of strangulation about the neck of the deceased, although the tongue protruded from the mouth. I believe the stains upon the dress produced to be blood. Bainbridge recalled—l did not receive amongst the goods anything like a hammer. This inventory was not made when I purchased the goods, but has been made subsequently from an inventory which I had on a piece of paper. Mr. William Flynn recalled—l had an interview with Mrs. Manning on Monday, the 13th instant. I saw her at the house, No. 3, Minver-place, New Weston-street, and I went there from hearing on Saturday that Mr. O'Connor was missing, and to make inquiries after him. Site opened the door, and I asked for Mr. Manning, and she told me he was not in. I then asked for Mrs. Manning, and she said she was that person. I told her I was a friend of Mr. O'Connor's, and she asked me in ; that was about a quarter to eleven in the forenoon. Upon get ting in, she told myself and the policeman who ac companied me to he seated. I asked her if she had seen anything of Mr. O'Connor ? and she said "No." I then said, "It was very odd ;" and she replied, " Yes, it is very strange, indeed." She then said, " Some friends of mine have seen him upon the bridge," and she mentioned the name of Mr. Keating. I understood her to allude to Thursday, the 9th, in the evening. She said he was very fickle-minded, as he had often come into her and only stopped a minute or two, and then jumped up abruptly and taken his hat. She then said there were some friends at Vaux hall that he had gone to twice in ber company, from that place, and she told me the party was of the name of Welsh. She afterwards said Mr. O'Connor was the best friend she had in London. I then thought, when she mentioned his name, there was a slight change in her countenance, and I asked her whether she felt the room warm, or whether she felt ill ? She replied " No," but she had been ill about six weeks ago, and putting her hand to her forehead she said, " I dare say I look pale." She then said some thing about her guardian. At that time nothing arose to induce me to suspect that Mr. O'Connor was there. I received an intimation that he was seen on Sunday. That information was given by a locker in the Customs, and upon hearing that I did not, as was my intention, proceed to search Manning's house. I was present at the opening of the deceased's boxes. I have seen scrip in his cash-box, but I cannot say that the scrip produced to-day was his. I went to the magistrate on the Wednesday. I never heard the deceased mention either Mr. or Mrs. Manning, and I never saw them at his house. I have known the deceased for nine years in London, and I also knew him in Ireland. I have heard him speak of a female of the name of De Roux ; that was before she was married to Manning. I did not know the actual relationship which existed between the deceased and Mrs. Manning. The deceased told me that he was worth 4,0001. or 5,000/., but I do not know that Mrs. Manning knew that. The deceased spoke of Maria de Roux snore in joke than affection.

Originated In 1842, THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT EVER INVENTED CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com panies, and other public bodies, &c., is particularly recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out -buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copper, zinc, lead, brick, stone, old compo, and stucco fr rots, and tiles to represent slating. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out door purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by c.ilour manufac turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale of common paints.

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

William Dine, the clerk in the cloak-room at the Lon don-bridge station, said—About a week back I delivered two boxes to Inspector Haynes. I do not know anything about them except that they were taken from a lady on the 13th of August, between one and three o'clock in the afternoon. Upon depositing the boxes I gave her a corresponding number to this (the witness produced a piece of paper bearing the No. 456). This was placed on one box, and a simi lar ticket was placed on the other. Mr. Richard John Moxey was next examined—l am superintendent of the Edinburgh city police, and I live in Parliament-square, Edinburgh. In consequence of information I received I proceeded on the forenoon of Tuesday along with one of our officers, and Mr. Dobson, a stock-broker, to 25, Haddington-place, Leith-walk, Edinburgh. I called at the' lodging-house of Mrs. Hewitt, and asked for Mrs. Smith, and was shown into a room where I found a female reading a newspaper, the Times of the 20th. I said, " Mrs. Smith I presume ?" She rose up politely and said " Yes." I said, "I beg your pardon, madam, but if you are Mrs. Smith you are not the lady I want. Are you a married lady?" She said, " Yes." I said, " Where does your husband reside?" and she replied that he was dead. I then said, " Have you been long in town?" She said, " A few days—l eerie to town on Tuesday or Wednesday." In reply to another question, she said she could refer to no one who knew her except Mrs. Shaw over the way, who recom mended her to the lodgings. I asked her where she came from, and she said from Newcastle, and that she came for the benefit of her health. She spoke of baying bathed at Portobello, a watering-place three miles from Edin burgh. I spoke to her about her finances, and asked her if she had any scrip for sale. She said " What do you mean by scrip?" I " Have you any railway shares for sale ?" She said she had. I asked her if she had offered any for sale, and she said she had not. I then said, "My im pression is that you are the wife of Frederick George Manning," at the same time asking Mr. Dobson, who was outside the door, to come in, and he did ; and, in answer to a question of mine, she admitted that she was the lady who had offered some scrip for sale. I then said, I wish to see your luggage; she made no objection, and the luggage was produced. It consisted of a carpet-bag, a trunk, and a box; they were locked, at least that was my impression, and she produced to me a bunch of keys. The box was opened with one of the keys. It contained chiefly women's wear ing apparel and some papers. Among the first things I saw was a bill, headed "F. G. Manning, Taunton," thus showing at once who the party was. My suspi cions being confirmed, I closed up the box, and turning to Mrs. Manning said, I am superintendent of police, and I charge you with being concerned in the murder anything nt yanswer any g Patrick questions to do e O'Connor, o ohr,rthbes say you are not bound to anything.ycrimewith w Ihciacuhti:hneed was in the usual way. Sh e d en i e d genera lly t h at s h e h a d charged. I said she would have to go with me, and I again asked her if she had any scrip. She said she had, but that it belonged to her. She said it was in the large trunk. I un l oc k e d it and found lying very near the top the scrip described in the printed advertisements which I had received. There was, besides other scrip in the Sambre and Meuse Railway Company, from 26,523 to 26,532, both inclusive. I also found what I believe to be a Spanish bond, No. 3,600. I found in the same trunk a red purse, containing seventy-three sovereigns, one 501. Bank of England note (11,037, Nov. 9, 1848); also six 10/. notes, five of which are dated June 11, 1849, and numbered respectively, 67,372, 67,373, 67,374, 67,375, and 67,376; and the other is dated Nov. 4, 1848 No. 78,378. There is another Si. note, dated July 30, 1849, and numbered 20,051. You will find the sum, I think, altogether 1801. The purse also contained a gold ring, and a railway ticket of the London and North Western Railway, with the name of Smith upon it, which appears to be for excess of luggage. I think it is dated the 14th of August. I then removed her with all the luggage, and locked the door of her apartments. At the station I caused her to be searched by two females, and all she had upon her was given to me. Those females are not present. The articles upon her were a gold chain, a watch, a key, a clasp, a brooch with a woman and a child painted upon it, and another Scotch pebble brooch, some thread and a thimble; another small purse, containing 3e.; six penny postage stamps, and some other things. I then caused her to be locked up, and telegraphed with Inspector Haynes. In the course of the evening I went to see if she was comfortable, and she said she wanted more bedding,, or something of that sort. I asked her where her hus band was, and she said she did not know. She then make a voluntary statement to this effect:—" I left town suddenly; I came off on Monday when ho was out (meaning her husband); I have left him as I have done before. I was afraid of my life; he has maltreated me for a long time past; his threats gene rally were that he would cut off my head, and he has pursued me with a knife." All of this she said she could prove by the servants who lived with her at Taunton. She then said that she left her house on Monday; that she left two boxes at the London-bridge terminus, the ticket of which I would find in her purse ; that she had come on to Euston square ; that she had slept in the neighbourhood of Euston-square all night and started the following morning by the train for Newcastle ; that on reaching ' Newcastle she went to a coffee-house accompanied by two female passengers—lrish women I understood her — and that they slept there all night; and that she came on to Edinburgh on the Wednesday. I may state since I came to town I showed all these things to the deceased's landlady, but I don't think she has recognised any. In the small box, in a green purse, I found an extract from a register, dated 27th of May, 1847, of the marriage of Frederick George Manning and Maria De Roux. There has been no mi nute examination of the articles to see whether any name or marks wore upon them. On the following day she was taken before the magistrates. She made no commu nication to me, further than what I have already stated. (Another gold (Geneva) watch, a mosaic chain, and several other articles were produced by the witness). Mr. Stevens, stockbroker, carrying on business at the Rayal Exchange, said—l had known Mr. Patrick O'Connor about three years, simply in the way of bu siness. I bought the Sambre and Meuse scrip produced, which passed through my hands and bear my initials, which I delivered to Mr. O'Connor on the 6th of Aug. inst. They are the advertised shares. They commence at 6,460 and end at 6,469, inclusive. Mr Moxey produced these shares, also those in the Amiens and Boulogne Railway. St,vpos iderritied them both. The Amiens and Boulol , ,ne were numbered from 48,665 to 43,674, and he delivered them to the deceased on the 11th of May. They might, however, have been purchased by twenty persons since. On the Ist ot August a female came to my shop in the Royal Ex change, and asked me a variety of questions, stating that she had been recommended by Mr. Patrick O'Con• nor, and that she had anout 2001. which she wished to invest in foreign securities. I asked her to give her name and address; she wrote on a slip of paper, Maria Manning, and said she would call again. I have never seen her since. I thill I should know her again; she was rather a fine, stout looking woman. There was another female waiting outside. I don't think I should know her without her bonnet. She said she wished to get some kind ot stock or shares which were not registered, and which she might sell unknown to her husband. This created a suspicion in my mind. Mr. Moxey stated that in the course of hi: conversation with Mrs. Manning she said she had some money which her husband wished to get from her_; that she refused to give it up, and that this gave rise to the quarrel between them; that she applied to Mr. O'Connor on the subject, and that in consequence of a conversation be tween him and her, she called upon a stockbroker, whose 1 name I think she said was Stevens, and that a part of the scrip I found in her possession had been purchased by Mr. O'Connor for her. She did not say what part; but I think she said that the Spanish bond was found by her husband. The jury then adjourned for refreshments. On the return of the jury, the first witness called was— Ann Armes—l reside at 21, Greenwood -street, Mile-end-road, in the parish of Stepney. I am t h e occupier of that house, and a single woman. I knew Mr Patrick O'Connor, and he lived with me near upon five years. He occupied the two rooms on the first floor. They were ready furnished lodgi ngs . H e passed as a single man, and I believe he was so. I never heard him speak of his age. I never knew him by any other name than that of Patt ic k O'C onnor. The last time I saw him alive was on Thursday morning, the 9th of August, about half -past seven, when I let him out at the shop door. He then appeared in good health, and very comfortable. He was dressed in a black coat, black satin stock, a full dressed one, with a black checked i satin vel ve t waist coat, with Albert shoes, tied up n the front, not of patent leather. He wore a black hat. That was the last time I saw him alive. He was parti cu l ar l y regular in his habits, both in going and returning. He always went out at half-past seven, and returned generally at five, but he was not so regular in re turning. He took his dinner at home generally, and when he did so he left home, and if he stopped out later than usual no notice would have been taken of it. He left no message as to w h en he would return on the morning in question. He had relatives to see him some times, both male and female. I have heard the name of Manning spoken of to-day, but I have not heard that name before as his friends, except Mr. and Mrs. Manning, they were man and wife. They had been acquainted with Mr. O'Connor for about a twelvemonth, to the best of my knowledge. They very frequently came to see Mr. O'Connor, and Mrs. Manning more fre quently than Mr. Manning. Mr. O'Conno r and Mrs. Manning appeared only on friendly terms. 'When he was ill she always came to inquire after him. For the last fortnight or month she was very frequently at Mr. O'Connor's lodgings.—l mean the fortnight or month before he was missed. She came at hours when Mr. O'Connor would be absent at business, and particularly during the last month. If he was not in, lie gave me directions that his friends should be shown upstairs, and particularly Mrs. Manning, and to allow them or her to wait until he came. She had frequently come there in his absence, a great many times more than I can remember, and she frequently went away without seeing him, as she could not wait. On one particular occasion she came at three o'clock, and waited for several hours, perhaps to six or seven o'clock, without his coming home. On her knocking at the private door, it would be opened to her, and she would walk upstairs to Mr. O'Connor's room. His bed room adjoined the sitting-room, but the entrance to both opened upon th e l au di ng . Th ere was no di rect communication between both rooms. The orders of Mr. O'Connor were, that the doors of both rooms should be kept open for air, and these directions were always attended to. Any of his friends had access to the rooms. He was in the habit of receiving com pany sometimes, and Mrs. Manning was there some times alone, but she never dined with him alone. Mr. Manning, Mrs. Manning, and Mr. Massey took tea with him once not long ago—about a month previous to his being missed. I never knew Mr. Massey to be there more than once. Before then Mr. and Mrs. Manning had dined with the deceased, but not since. lie was not communicative to me as to his position. I have known Mrs. Manning to take tea with the deceased alone. He never communicated to me anything about his circumstances, nor did he ever make any observation about Mrs. Manning with regard to his circumstances. Mr. and Mrs. Manning appeared to be on terms of particular friendship with the deceased, and appeared to pay him particular at tention, but I had my own doubts about it. I did not think there was any improper conduct going on, but I thought the friendship arose from money matters. I heard them attempt to borrow money of him. This was some time back. They asked him to lend them money. I heard them doing so when I was in the room and waiting upon them. I have no knowledge of his having lent them any money. I heard the deceased say that he did not wish the vagabonds to come any more, as they were becoming too troublesome to him, and he desired that they should not be allowed to go up to him again. I never heard him consent or refuse to give money, but I have heard him say to Mrs. Manning, when she wanted money, that he would do no such thing. Upon the 9th of August Mrs. Man ning called at a quarter before six in the evening at Mr. O'Connor's lodgings. I saw her when she called, and she passed up to Mr. O'Connor's room, and left at a quarter-past seven, or over that time. In the meantime Mr. O'Connor did not return. I am posi tive of that. In consequence of Mr. O'Connor's ab sence, my suspicions were not excited that night, and I have no means of knowing how Mrs. Manning might have occupied herself while she was in his room. On one occasion, on the Friday previous to the 9th, I went into the room, and I saw a number of railway scrip laid out on the table, and Mrs. Man ning was present. Mr. O'Connor and Mrs. Manning alone were present. There were papers on the table, and I heard her say she wanted to invest her money in railway shares. All this took place in presence of my sister, and not in mine. The CORONER—AII this is nothing. Examination continued—l did not hear the conver sation myself, but I saw his cash-box on the table. It was not open. My sister is not here. Mrs. Manning was at Mr. O'Connor's lodgings between the Friday and the 9th, but I cannot specify the time, and Mr. O'Connor was sometimes at home when she did so, but I cannot speak positively. Between the Friday and the 9th Mr. O'Connor said nothing of Mrs. Man ning's visit. He kept his cash-box in his trunk, in his bedroom. It stood upon the top of the drawers. I have seen Mrs. Manning in his bedroom, but very seldom. They mostly went in to leave their bonnets, but I never saw her in his bedroom, to my know. ledge, when he was absent. I never saw her going for his cash-box at his request. He always kept his keys upon his person. He always arranged his wardrobe himself. The private door was double locked, and Mr. O'Connor, if out, would not get access except by knocking at the private entrance. He had no latch-key, for I don't allow one. I never knew of Mr. O'Connor's being absent all night with out telling me, except once. On the night of Thurs day, the 9th, I remained up for him until two o'clock on Friday morning. I expected his return, but he did not return, and I was much surprised, and I then went to bed. It was in the winter time that he remained out all night without my knowledge. Upon Wed nesday night previous to the 9th he tea'd at home with a gentleman of the name of Walsh, and they went out about nine, or a quarter before nine. I cannot say when Mr. Welsh came ; perhaps it was about six, and there was a stranger with Mr. O'Connor before Mr. Walsh came. The stranger was a gentleman, and they all went out together. The same stranger called upon the Saturday night to know how Mr. O'Connor was, and what had become of him. On the Wednesday night I sat up, and he returned about twelve, or a quarter past twelve. Ile then appeared well and sober. I have seen him a little tipsy. He was not a man given to intempe rance, and I had no fear of trusting him with a light. Mr. O'Connor never returned to his lodgings after the evening or the 9'h. Inquiries were made after Mr. O'Connor on Friday evening by Mr. Keating. He spoke to my sister, and she told him that he had not been at home since the previous night. We felt rather surprised at his continued absence, but nothing was said or done; but I remained up all that night for him. On Friday Mrs. Manning can - le to the house at a quarter before six. She was let in by my sister, and I saw her. She pro ceeded to Mr. O'Connor's room. I keep no domestic servant. I and my sister performed the necessary offices for the deceased, such as making his bed, and so on. I was in Mr. O'Connor's room on the Friday before Mrs. Manning came. I was there several times during that day. Mr. O'Connor did not sleep at home upon the Thursday night. My sister and myself cleaned out the deceased's rooms on the Fri day, and his trunk was then on the top of the drawers. Sometimes we removed the trunk, but we did not do so on that day. The trunk was then as it used to be, in regard to its position, and we observed no alteration until the Saturday morning. Mrs. Manning was in Mr. O'Connor's room on Friday evening from a quarter to six to a quarter-past seven, or over, and during that time no one was in the room with her. The flooring of the house is carpeted throughout. Her presence in Mr. O'Connor's lodgings on the Friday evening was not surprising; but seeing her, we expected he was coming home. As she came in on the Friday she made no observation. When she came we thought he would soon follow her, as we would have done if any other lady had called. I knew Mrs. Manning well. As she was leaving she came down stairs through the shop, as if she was going to purchase, although I had forbidden her or Mr. Manning to come in or go out that way. My sister observed her looking very pale. The CORONER—We must not have that, we must have your sister. Examination continued—My sister waited upon her in the shop. She asked for something of a cake. She had done so before, but very seldom. I saw and had a view of her. I saw her face sideways, and she appeared all of a shake and pale. I did not notice anything in her possession. Mr. O'Connor used the back-room as a bedroom, and that was over my parlour. I was writing when she was in the house, and I did not hear any noise, nor could I well do so. I have not missed any article from Mr. O'Connor's room. Mr. O'Connor wore on working days a silver watch, which has not been found in his room, although I believe he went out with it in the morning. I have seen him in possession of a gold watch and chain, which he wore on Sun days ; but those produced here to-day are not the same, and are much better. On Saturday morning a notice was sent from the docks to the house to say that he was absent from duty, on which I was very much surprised. The message was brought by Mr. King. On that morning his trunk appeared to be in the same position. I was there when the police came to inspect the trunk. There were present Mr. Keating and three others, besides the police, and we found the cash-box broken open. The trunk was on the drawers as usual when the police came in, and it was then locked. No keys were found, nor was there a search made for any. The trunk was then taken down and forced open. The cash-box was found to have been broken open and the top of the contents taken out. When one portion of it was lifted up, certain papers were seen in the bottom part. From the morning of Thursday the 9th, up to the Monday following, no person had access to the room but myself and my sister, except Mrs. Manning ; but during that time Mrs. Alarming was in Mr. O'Connor's apartments twice. I have no knowledge of the extent or nature of Mr. O'Connor's property, nor have I recognised any of the papers produced here to-day, nor any of the articles which have been produced. I never saw the gown, or part of the gown producedheeraelletd anlars o-day iu lh d e ay . n ard i Mrs. Manning say, when she that she was rather surprised that she had not osier) him. On the Friday night when Mrs. Manning I called, she said that as she had not seen Mr. O'Connor she would call on the following Sunday, after chapel hours. I then said to my sister, if she calls she must not be let in. After the Friday evening she never called at my house again. By a juror —Were the drawers locked ? Witness— Yes, they were always locked, and continued so until Mr. O'Connor's brother came. On Monday morning a strange man of dark complexion called, and wanted to see Mr. O'Connor. I see him present now in this room. He had no access to Mr. O'Connor's rooms. The stranger knocked at the door on Monday morn ing at ten o'clock, and said he had business with him, and I told him at the door that if Mr. O'Connor s w t r o s u n l g d e n r not i r d e t h u e r n s a w h i sboxeMr . sc w o n o n u o l d r o h n e t o h p e e E n e x t. h a n T g h e e . and he wanted to do business with him. I looked up at him, and said he has not been at home since last Thursday morning, " Oh," says he, " he'll be at home to-night," putting his hand up. He then went away towards the City, and I sent a little boy after him, and upon his return he said, " Well, ma'am ?" I said, you state that you saw Mr. O'Connor on Saturday, will you give me your name? and he said his name was of no use, for Mr. O'Con nor did not know him or he Mr. O'Connor. Well, I said, give me your name, for he has been ab sent from his home ever since Thursday. He then said, " What rooms do you occupy ?" I said, "The whole house." He then said, " Did he lodge here ?" and I answered " Yes." I further stated, "He has his I thath blaodles. I never saw t h e person given notice to the autho ritiesabsented himself f rom t h e docks," and he said, "What t of that, he'll be h ome to-night." I a s k e d f or hi s name, and I took up th e s l ate to write his name, and to absenthis ( fromM he then took it and commen ce d wr i t i ng, but after wards rubbed it out, and said he w ou ld g i ve his word of honour that he wouldwhicesahlheldaadtfo writetebreefiveo ' clock on t 0 ' C O'Connor' s ) M ondaydocks , nt n e o ahrn break' g ) b: d op en pe t bro t her saidar at Mr. O'Connor's before. The CORONER (addressing the person pointed out by the witness)—Have you any objection to state your name ? The person alluded to said, my name is John Basset, and I have important evidence to give if I am next called. The witness—That is my evidence, according to the best of my recollection. When I stated that Mr. O'Connor had been absent from the docks the stranger said, " Oh, I did not know that he was a dock-keeper." The CORONER—Barnes, when did you yet informa tion that thi s p erson had called at Mr. O'Connor's lodgings? Barnes—l ascertained it promiscuously. The CORONER—Is there any reason for supposing that Mr. O'Connor was seen after Thursday night ? Barnes—Not the slightest, sir. The CORONER—Was this person present to view the body ? Barnes—Yes, sir. The CORONER—Do you think there is any mistake as to the identity ? Ternan the officer, said—My impression is that there is no mistake. The CORONER—Then let this person come forward. After a short consultation, William John Ready, acting inspector of Customs in the London Docks, residing at 4, Albion-place, Upper Kennington-lane, was next called—l was in the London Docks on Thursday and Friday, the 9iiih and 10th inst. I saw Mr. O'Connor on the 9th, and he was on duty on that day, when be signed the ap pearance-sheet, on his coming to and leaving duty— that is, at eight in the morning and four in the the afternoon. From the 9th up to the present time Mr. O'Connor has not attended duty. I never heard him speak of his age, but I think be was from 47 to 50. He was a tall man, about 5 ft. 10 in. or 5 ft. 11 in., and about 13 or 14 stone weight. His eyes were rather light, approaching to grey, and he had no whiskers. On Thursday he had on a dark coat and black waistcoat, with light small checked trousers, and a stock. John Basset, clerk in the house of Killick and Company, No. 6, Bank chambers, City, and residing at 2f, Fieldgate-street, Whitechapel, On or about the 31st of July a gentleman came to our office, a stock and sharebroker s office. I introduced him to our manager. I had no knowledge of the gentleman, and never saw hitn before. He came respecting the sale of some stock, and wished to know our terms. I introduced him, and after he left that day our manager informed me— The CoRoNER—I can't take that. The witness—l never saw him beforeto my know ledge. On Thursday, the 2d.. of August, he called again about three o'clock in the afternoon ; when he called in July it was before twelve o'clock. On the 21 of August, when he called, he apologised to me for not having called yesterday or the day before, accord ing to promise, a promise having been made to the manager that he would call, and he told me that he should not want to part with his stock for a few days, and he said he had called in to say so. Upon Satur day, the 11 th of August, he called again, about a little after eleven o'clock, He said, " I have brought the stock ;" and I said, " Sir, the ma nager whom you saw before is absent on account of illness, but I can manage the business for you." He then produced *stock,: twenty shares Eastern Counties Consolidated Stock. I asked him how much ...... he wanted; and he said " 1201. or 130/. ;" and I said I could let him have 110/. ; and he said " That will do," he wanted the money to pay a bill. I then advanced to him 1101., paying a 1001. note, one 51. note, and five sovereigns. I did not take the num bers of those notes, but a gentleman in the office, who was present, did. After the receipt of the money he gave us a transfer, which he signed and I witnessed. He signed it Patrick O'Connor. Before he got the money I said " What name ?" and he said " Patrick O'Connor, 21, Greenwood-street, Mile• end-road." I cannot say in what way he was dressed, but he appeared to me to be about forty-four years of age, a tall stout man, five feet ten inches high, with round face and small whiskers, and pale, sallow complexion. He appeared in excellent spirits and was talkative—quite so. He had no peculiarity of accent, and I should have thought him an English man, and certainly would not have taken him for an Irishman. His signature was written sideways. I do not know that the scrip is in the office, but it will be forthcoming. I saw the party three times, and I saw the body on Saturday week, but I cannot swear that it is the same party, although the length and general ap pearance correspond. It is true that I called at Mr. O'Connor's lodgings on the Monday. Mr. O'Connor, when at our office, asked me if I was fond of fishing, and I said, " Yes, I am ;" and he then said, " I am off for Exeter, and I shall bring you up a dish of salmon-peal of my catching." From his manner I thought he was going off the same afternoon. Ile then left the office. After he left, a gentleman in our office, Mr. Hammond, asked if the partyh d a l d signed a memorandum which is usual) d Y he signed, an, Mr. said it quite escaped my memory ; and s he thereupon Killick will be very angry. I was t in structed to go to 21, Greenwood street, on Monday, the 13th of August, in the morning, with the view of getting Mr. O'Connor to sign the memorandum which I now hold in my hand. This was at nine o'clock in the morning. I knocked at the side door, and a female partially opened the door and put her head out, and I asked her if Mr. O'Connor was at home, as I wanted to see him on business. She said no, and I went away. Afterwards a boy followed me and called me, and she said Mr. O'Connor had not been seen since Thursday, and I then stated that I had seen him in the City on Saturday. The CORONER—Upon the solemn oath you have taken did you know Mr. O'Connor ? The witness— I can only say that I would recognize the party who came to our house. The CORONER—Did you recognize the body ? Witness—No, it was so mangled and decomposed that I could not do so. John Hammond, clerk to Messrs. Killick and Co., 6, Bank Chambers, and residing at No. 2, Milford Cottages, Old Kent-road—About a quarter or half past eleven, on Saturday morning, the 11th of August, Mr. Basset brought to me from the private room twenty Eastern Counties Consolidated Stock, with a transfer, signed "Patrick O'Connor." I then gave to Mr. Basset one note for 1001. of the Bank of Eng land, No. 15,043, dated sth June, 1849 ; a Si. note d of the Bank of England, dated July 13, 1849. numbered 20,0 51 , an The CORONER (referring to the previous evidence) —That note has been found in the possession of Mrs. Manning. witness—And 51 in gold. I have seen the body, and, to the best of my be l ie f, that is the body of th e man to whom I gave the notes. That is my im pression. Mr. Basset brought me the transfer, and I saw the signature. The writing now shown to me is not the same character of writing, it is too free (the writing handed was that of the deceased). A juror —Was the signature in that style of writing (showing some of Manning's writing) ? Wine!s—Yes, very much in that style. I said to Mr. Basset, Mr. Killick will be very angry about your not getting the memorandum signed, and it was then agreed that he should call on Mr. O'Connor on Monday morning to get that done. The CORONER—The gentleman who has just been examined, Mr. Basset, is _entirely exonerated from every suspicion. Tb 9 witnen—Upon Monday morning, the 20th, I THE PEACE CONGRESS. The Journal des Debats has the following leading article on the subject of the Peace Congress . " When the French make excursions to foreign countries, even of the most pacific and amiable character, they cannot avoid doing so in full uniform, decorated with mustachios, armed with muskets, and fragrant with the odours of the barricade. It is thus that they visited England, whither they went attired as National Guards, with their heads erect, and marching in the middle of the streets, contrary to etiquette, The English, the Americans—in a word, the Anglo-Saxons—are now returning our visit. They arrive in Paris, attired in black coats, with stand-up collars, and wearing the placid and benevolent countenances of Quakers, in the character of the fri en d s o f peace. I n our great and turbulent city, in which the constantly-shaking pavements are seeking to regain their places, and do not even yet feel themselves very firm—in the midst of the cannons which adorn the courts of our palaces—amidst the din of drums and trumpets, behold delegates from all parts of the world come to open a pacific congress! To-morrow (the 22d of August) the friends of peace are to open in the Hall of St. UK:We, generally consecrated to fetes of har mony, a course of universal harmony and perfect con cord. They have come from England, from Belgium, and from America; they have travelled hundreds and thousands of leagues, bearing in their hands a poor olive branch, which they will try to plant in our ungrateful and rebellious soil. Happy, thrice happy, those who have the gift of faith. Perchance a day will come when humanity will aik itself how, in a century which pre tends to enlightenment, in the midst of a social state which assumes the name of civilization, the differences between nations and men were settled by blood and by war. But we greatly fear that we have not yet beheld the dawn of that day. When the continent of old Eu rope is trembling and palpitating beneath the trampling of armies and the wheels of artillery, how is the calm and unpopular voice of reason to make itself heard? Much time must yet elapse before the hands of philanthropists will be able to pluck from the earth the serpents which have escaped from the box of Pandora, and successively replace them in their fabulous cradle. And yet, if the friends of peace be not destined to meet with success at first, we sincerely desire that they may at least meet with goodwill and respect. The very eccen tricity of the enterprise pleases us; for it must be ad mitted that to select Paris of all places as the centre of a crusade in favour of universal peace is indeed—if the friends of peace will allow us the expretsion—carrying the war into the camp of the enemy. We only intreat them not to allow themselves to be turned aside from their object, and not to transform themselves, as they are now advised to do, into a company of shareholders for piercing the Isthmus of Sutz or that of Panama. They can only have a purely moral and purely speculative mission, and in this respect they can only t xpect monies of eied upon s ympathyand to settle goodwill . sele the r IN e n d u o ng n ar o i t an t , hink they c an the be Boman, the Danish, or any social question ; but they may aid in the solution of all, by awakening and deve loping in men's hearts the sentiment of peace, concord. and fraternity. This object may satisfy the noblest ambition, and we are sure that the friends of peace would esteem themselves fortunate to be brought within reach of it." MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT WICK.— SHERIFF FORSYTH AND HIS BOATMAN DROWNED.—A melancholy accident has just happened on the Loch of Watten, nine miles from this. Charters Forsyth, Esq., our sheriff substituto, and his boatman, Joseph Tait were on this sheet of water fishing to-day, and in a sudden squall the boat upset, and both were drowned. I have just seen the Rev. Mr. Fraser, of Halkirk, and his brother of Kirkhill, who were passing in a gig when the accident took place, and their account of it is, that about twelve o'clock they saw the squall on the loch, and drew up to see bow the boat would act under it; that so soon as the blast caught the sail the boat capsized and instantly went down. The Rev. Gentleman immediately drove to the free manse of Watten, and got a boat with four men in it, who went in search of the gentleman and his com panion, but all they found was the boat's tiller, a tithing rod, and a hat and cap. The sheriff is unmarried, but Joseph Tait has left a widow and several children, and was a man liked by all who knew him. Sheriff Robert Thompson is, fortunately here, and he and Mr. John Henderson, W.S., have gone off to the scene of the dis aster. Mr. James Bremner, C.E., hus also just started with some boatmen to seek for the bodies.—North British Mail. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY SMUGGLERS AT GO9. PORT.—On Friday evening, about half-past eight o'clock, a number of smugglers assembled at Hard way, for the purpose of ill-treating two coast guardmen; and on seeing one named Stephen Mountefield, James Stallard. John Brown, John Attwell, jun., John Matthews, and several others, began ill-treating him in a most brutal manner, by kickin g hi m and striking him with sticks, and Attwell with a s h o t i n a s ling, leaving him for dead. He is now lying in a very precarious state; his wife also, on interfering, was very much beaten. They then pro ceeded to the Three Tuns, at Elson, where they found Benjamin Mountefield, whom they treated in the same way, and who is in a very dangerous state. The police being sent for, soon arrived, and, with some of the coast guard, went in pursuit of the party, and overtook them at the Sun public-house at Brockhurst, but from which they made their escape. Some time after they went to Stallard's house, where they found the party, and tried to take them into custody, but found it quite impossible to do so, as they had such a strong party, there being nearly twenty in the house and as many outside. We are sorry to state that they remain at large, though we learn one of the party was killed by a pistol shot. Hants Telegraph.
