Th se circumstances baring beat communicated to Mr.
the superintendent of the detective polies, that
ease; . clan. at an early hour yesterday morning, proceeded
to toe terminus of the South Linen Railway, where he for-
citadel, found the lames exactly as described, no inquiry
having been made for them sins they were deposited
on 31 inlay seek. The suspicions previously entertained by
Mr. Heintz now ripened into certainties, and he at once
sought en interview with Mr. G. 8. Herbert, the secretary
to the ereepany, to whom he explained the whole matter,
sad ezpresoul the necessity of examining the contents of the
boxes. Mr. Herbert conferred with two or three of the
direct: re who happened to be at the station, and the Gift-
noel errs if Police having backed Mr. Haynes's application
by a request from themselves to the same effect, the bones
were weaveyed into the secretary's office and there toned
open. The lint glance at each disclosed a quantity ed
female wee& g apparel, which, epee exit:gamma, fenced
to be marked with the name of Maria Rue, the =Men
nano of Me'. Manning. A further examination discovered
a quantity of articles belonging to the deceased, Patrick
Ws:miser, and several letters written by him to the supposed
mordents.
Ansnspt other property found are 'several receipts for
moues wreath had bean lent by the deceawd to various par-
tite, f tten from the deceased to the trimmer when she was
Miss Rue. There was also the will of Frederick Omni
bearing the date of the Gth of June, 1848. The
att.:Awe ilifftellOr• to this document are Honey Poole (who
was transported for the Exeter mail robberies) and Robert
Sneed. The whole of the proomty is left to the prisoner.
Mr. Ha) me immediately proceeded to the London and
North Western Station, with the view of treeing Maria
Mnniug. His inquiries here wore fortunately most sue-
r. semi : rn heist w. may elate that he ascertained • female
pa.scooer. whose luggage was marked with the Dame of
Smith, had left the Ewen &Won es the morning of Tues-
day the 14th inst., ley the 6.16 tit. train, having booked
her place through to Edinburgh in • led class carriage.
Tett: could no longer be any doubt as to the direction the
suspected party had taken. and Mr. Haynes at ten minutes
sl to ,soe e'ock, telegraphed through to Edinburgh dieeet,
a:Jr 'acing the superintendent of tile efty pollee, and Inform-
ki him of the etretonstaases above delailed, with a fell
drirrirtion of the suspected party. Mr. Haynes had scarcely
arrived at Sestland-yard, ea his return, when a mese
snow treat the telegraplamffiee reached then, bearing
tuteUtienee thet Maria Manning had been ensured upon the
into/m.li= forwasded by Mr. Itayees. by Mr. Mexhay, the
chief entree of the Edinburgh conetabulary. The sanity
displayed by this officer may be lodged of from the feet that
asereely an hoer plead between the message ha been

of the woinau's arrest.

BAL7•PAST 11 P.M.

The pclice have just received the following telegraphic
leteletre: "Is Manning in custody ? Send back an imme-
sh at answer."
It is laferred from this that the Edinburgh polies have
Mee Mee to a person answering his description.
PARTICI:LARS RESPECTING MANNING.
TUTaDAT NIOKT 11 O'CLOCK.
The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police, owing to
itformation which they have just received, ars ‘selined to
it rue that Manning has not left the metropolis, but is
Wetted is some of the bye-struts is Deadest. It will be
remembered that a person named Wright, who states that
ks is par. ~sally acquainted with Maiming, and that he went
into the Sank of England Tavern, near the Great Western
Ride/ay, with him, where tioy both partook of some re.
fushatins that Wright went to the door for the purpose of
&liar ins policeman and giving the party into custody.
W:ilst, however ha wanso engaged, Wnght states that
Mann:sag left tha house and ran away. At first this appeared
quite impnbablv. and nothing more was thought of it than
sa idle rumour; but from what has subsequently transpired
there is every reason to believe thet the statement made by
Wrigtit was cornet, in consequence of which the COMMlS-
ii,m.rs last night issued privately the following notice to the
force:
" Manning has a brother named Edward, living at 30, I
Franeuserest, Neeiagton Butts; a brother-in-law named
Ralph, living at No. 2, Lea's Mewe, Sheppard's-court,
Grosvenor square ; ands brother named Joseph staying with
Mr. Ralph. Also another brother-in-law named Mandell,
chores/4es at Taunton, as wall as a brother named James,
'midis/ at Whadessomb, in Somersetahire. lle has also a
sister, who la landlady of the Cutter Inn, at Weymouth. The
mileages of all these parties are to he closely watched tone
whether Manning applies for shelter at say. Mecums
knurly lived at No. 6, Pruitt-terrace, Paddington."
A great number Of the private clothes have been
despatehed to the places .renamed, and from al: that tea
truspired, it is quite likely that by the time the female la
pke.d la the dock, her husband will also be apprehended.
