Sbe Men wrote on a slip of paper the desired receipt. The
style of writing, however, is certainly not in keeping with
Ire repseted accomplishments. She was aware of her bus

w ed at Jersey, had encased her of committing the crime
by shooting Mr. O'Connor at the bottom of the staircase,
elm declared, " The villain ; it was him that did it, not me."
Late on Saturday night the police authorities obtained
one information which is considered of great importance.
It appears that on the 26th of July last, Manning called at
the furnishing ironmongery warehouses of Messrs. Event,
33, King Wiliam-street, London-bridge, and asked to be
shown a smell crowbar. The shopping, George Stead, in-
formed him that they did not keep such articles in stock
reedy made, but if he (Manning) pleased, one shoull be
made for him. Manning answered that would do as well,
bat he impressed upon the shopman that he did not want
sae too large—about 71b. or 81b. would do. Manning then
said that he would leave his name end address, which he
did, and desired the implement to be ant home when
deflated. According to his instructions the 'towbar was
made, and on the 28th Messrs. Evans sent it to 3,
Minuw-piage, by onset the porters. A few minutes after the
mm had started with it, Manning Balled at Mean. Evana's
imp to ascertain whether the crowbar was ready, and being
lerformed that the porter had jest previously gone with it to
his lose, he lett in a hurried intoner and overtook the pee-
-1 ear la Tooley-strut. Stopping rim In the street, he asked
him if he was going to hie house with a crowbar, pointing to
the t eked bar the man was carrying. The porter replied
that he was taking it to Nu. 3, Minver-place, New Weston-
street. Manning replied, "That's all right, but I nipped*
paper is very scare, at your establishment. One don't want
every body. to see such things; come with me." Manning
then went into the first stationer's shop they met with, and
buying a sheet of brown paper be took the bar from the por-
ter's band and wrapped it up in the paper. He then wrote
on it his name and address, and, walking with the porter,
showed him the way to Minver-place. Arri‘ieg
at the corner of New Weston strut Manning
desired the porter to go on sad deliver
it. The man proceeded to the house as directed,
and knocking at the door, was answered by a tall, well-
dressed women, who had a mark on the upper part of her
neck. On presenting the parcel, ate said, Oh, you have
come from Mr. Evens, in King Williamstreet. What's
to pay 1" The porter replied that thi re was 3.. 6d, to pay.
The women said that was 6d. more than she expected, but
without nisei hesitation she banded to the porter the
3s. 6d., and he lett. Sirgulsrly enough Mean. Evans had
retained the slip of paper on which the address was written
when the order was given for the crowbar, and it has bias
identified as being Manning's handwriting. The porter in
the mune of the .vexing was taken to Horsemouger lane
gaol, and identified both the pawners. It is presumed that
Manning mule away with tee crowbar, as it was not amongst
the articles purchaeed by Bainbridge, the broker. In appear-
ance it reeembled a large ripping chisel, with rather a long
Hat point, tipped with steel, the metal railer more than an
inch and s. quarter in thiekness.
We ( Weekly Chronicle) have ream to believe that the
authorities et the Horns-odiee intend recommending to her
Mejesty's government that the reward of 1001. offered lover
the apprehension of the Manning' should be incensed, in
order that some civilians who lent valuable assistance to the
officers of police in effecting the capture of the criminal,
may be adequately remunerated for the zeal and energy
manifested by them at Edinburgh and in the Wands of
Jersey and Guernsey.

nide says : It having been telegraphed to this town, that
Maria Manning had been apprehended at Edinburgh, and
that she had given her address,

inquiries. It is well known that there is so High-street in
Newcastle, and hence great difficulty wasexporienced. How-
ever, Bub-Inspector Allison ascertained that on the night of

Mn. Smith on them, were left at tee Newcastle Railway
station, in the Manors, at ten o'cicek on Tuesday night, and
remained there till the morning, when they were delivered
to a woman who talked broken English. Upon further in-
quiry it appeared that this woman arrivi d on Tuesday night
by the train, and finding that there was no train for Edin-
burgh till the morning, she applied to one of the railway
porters to recommend her to a lodging for the sight, and he
at omit conducted her to the house of Mrs. Mather, the
Gunge the Fourth Tarim, in Cse:ieliquare where she
slept. In the morning she proceeded to the railway station,
and took charge of the packages labelled " Mrs. Smith,
passenger, Edinburgh ;" saw them deposited in the train,
and then pecceetted to Edinburgh, where she arrived. The

MEETING AT WREXHAM.
At a public meeting of the inhabitants of the town
and neighbourhood of We. sham, in the county of Denbigh,
convened pursuant to public notice, on Tuesday, August 29,
to offer the cordial sympathy and encouragement of the
friends of justice and freedom to the gallant Hungarians,
who are nobly reesting the attacks of foreign tyrants sad
oppressors upon the ancient institutions of the kingdom,
Horny BUMPRIZTS Jowls, Reg., in the chair,
It wee resolved unanimously, upon the motion of Mr.
Edgwerth, ascended by Mr. Themes Hughes, and supported
by Mr. Charles Rawlins, of Liverpool,—" That the cordial
sympathy of this meeting be plostated to the noble and
patriotic Hungarians, who have so heroically come forward
in debut's of their ancient institutions, though their gallant
efforts have been retarded by the tyrannical and unjustifiable
invasions of the Easaiane."
Upon the motion of Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr.
Ric/bald Rawlins,—" That this meeting strongly deprecates
the principle adopted by Austria in her diorite with Hutt.
garb, in calling in the aid of a foreign power to crush the
national feeling of that country."
Upon the motion of Mr. W. H. Darby, seconded by Mr.
George Griffiths." That the liberal policy which the free
Hungarians had (prior to the struggle) already exhibited,
affords to the people of England an additional reason for
sympathising with the nation in its efforts to retain its
ancient constitation."
