THE
MURDER IN BERMONDSEY.

A gentleman connected with the press on going
Over the house when the body of the murdered man wee
found, on Saturday last, discovered in one of the fire-places
two cards, one of whieh war a list of the time of sailing of
the fine of packet ships between London and New York, the
other was a plain maid, on whieh was written," Mr. Wright,
passenger to New York." The gentleman immediately
headed both cards to the police who had chugged the Lou..,
and suggested to them that it WM probable the murderers
had taken their passage in the Victoria. which was *dyer-
deed on the card to mil on Friday last. The policeman, how-
ever, tole up the card, at the same time remarking, " That it
was not very likely that if they bad intended to
go to New York they would have lett those cards behind
them." No farther noCces on that occasion was taken of 'he
matter, but on Sunday the gentleman again communicated
his suspicions to the police; but, as they again declined ' s
make any [squire into the matter, the gentleman yesterday
waited on the siiip's agents, Messrs. Phillips, Shaw, and
Lowther, who immediately sent • clerk with him to the
London Docks, and a careful examination wet made of tee
list of oeseengers who had paid their passage to New Yore
by the Victoria. This list, however, only contain• d the
steerage pecimegers. Thee were suer chief ca'An passen-
gers, bat the list of them, as is invariably the case, was with
the master cm beard The °Seigle in the baggage department
in the Leaden Docks were then applied to, and upon making
• reference they found that six peckers had been taken OS
board by • person in the name of Manning. Whether it
wes • man or a woman the dock authorities could not say,
but it is probable that both the Meanings were there, as it
has bus satisfactorily aseettained that Mrs. Manning took
away four packages, and Manning two, and of course had
they been together Manning would see to the shipment of
the luggage. The dock authorities are of opinion that Man-
ning bad taken his passage in • fictitious name, and that is
going on board, and being suddenly asked by the luggage
entry clerk his name, he, without thought, gave that of
"Manning."
With respect to the woad card, bearing the name of
" Wright, to New York," Messrs. Phillips, Shaw,
and Low er's clerk showed the gentleman a large box
which had been sent down to the decks to be shipped in the
Viciotis, but, through some accident or other, it was not
put on board. This box Is directed to Mr. Wright, New
York.
The Victoria sailed from the London Docks on Friday
morning, and is expected to touch at Portsmouth early this
morning.
These hots were, a above stated, communicated to Mr.
Commissioner Mayne yesterday afternoon, who immediately
ordered • telegraphic despatch to be forwarded to the local
authorities at Portsmouth, reoesting them, immediately the
Victoria touched there, to send officers on board, and it
either of the parties were there, at once to apprehend them
sad convey them to London.
