ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 21st, says—
" Relations of the most friendly and sympathetic kind
are becoming more firmly established every day between
the French and the Romans. This friendly disposition
on the part of the public mind in Rome has been more
particularly remarked since the French authorities as-
sumed an almost threatening attitude in presence of the
excesses of clerical reaction. It is right to add that,
being now perfectly enlightened as to the kindness of a
government of priests, for within the last few days
they have seen its work, our officers are indignant at the
idea that an intelligent population could have been sub-
jected to a regime so brutalising, and loudly express
their opinion on the subject. So that if they have been
at first pampered by those for whose benefit the expedi-
tion appears to have been undertaken, it is now the true
Roman population who welcome them. and that it is
good to point out. The relations between the French
authorities and that established by the Pope are at this
moment very cool, and it appears that the negotiations
which are going on at Gaeta tend to take a turn which
may defeat many calculations. The Pope will not make
any concessions, but he will, it is said, go to Bologna,
the garrison of which will be composed of Austrians,
Neapolitans, and Spaniards. Besides, it is evident that,
with his pretensions, Pius IX. cannot reside on any point
whatever of the Roman states if he is not guarded by a
strong garrison of foreign troops. That is a sorrowful
condition for a Sovereign. Orders had been given to
prepare everything for the return of part of the French
army to France, but there has been a counter-order since
given. There are a number of sick in the expeditimary
army. Several hospitals have been established at Rome,
which are already full. M. Edgar Ney, orderly officer
of the President, has arrived on a private mission to
General Oudinot. Iu the present state of things no one
can say how long the French occupation of Rome will
continue."

The following is an extract from a letter from
Venice, dated the Od:—
"At the moment lam writing the firing has ceased
on both sides; the crisis is finished. 'The Republic of
Venice falls, as it has lived, free from excesses, tree from
violence, and without having held out the hand to
anarchy ; it falls overpowered by superior forces, and
under the weight of events which inevitably brought
about its ruin. The men who have directed the defence
are full of the best intentions ; they only wished to re-
establish the ancient independence of their country by
shaking off the yoke of Austria. They never wished to
make an appeal to those impious doctrines which, under
pretence to restoring European society, have already
csused seas of blood to flow in different parts of
Europe. History will be just with regard to them,
and will not confound them with the majority of those
men who for the last eighteen months have been aiming
at the overthrow of Italy and Germany. The Austrians
will enter Venice to-morrow, or the day after; but what
hatred will they there find! What prudence must they
not display! What efforts must they not make to soften
down the re•action which may declare itself as soon as
their eagles deploy on the square of St. Mark. The
army which has besieged Venice does not appear to be
intended to occupy the city. Alarmed at the exaspera-
tio❑ which prevails amongst them against the Venetian
people, General Gorskowskt has sent for fresh troops
from Trieste, which have been for some time kept in rea-
diness to embark, and which troops alone will enter
Venice. This is a politic measure."

RADETSICY has issued a new proclamation at Mant ua,
granting an atnnesty for all political offences com-
mitted in 1848 and 1849.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
EXAMINATION OF FREDERICK GEORGE
MANNING, AT THE SOUTHWARK POLICE-

COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
It having been announced in the morning papers that
Manning, the supposed murderer of Patrick O'Connor,
had arrived, at ten o'clock last night, from Jersey, an
immense mob of persons congregated about the police-
court, but extra policemen were put on duty to prevent
their entrance. The prisoner arrived at the police-station
at half-past ten, and on being asked his name, he said,
in a firm voice, "Frederick George Manning, town
traveller," and that he resided at No. 3, Minver-pl tce,
Bermondsey. After the charge was booked he under-
went a scrutinous search, and was afterwards
placed in one of the cells with two constables.
Mr. Seeker entered the court a little after
ton o'clock, when the prisoner was brought
from the rear of the court and placed in the felon's
dock. Ho is a stoutish man, with a long, thick
head, and sandy hair, with small whiskers. His chin is
rather long, and he has a very stupid appearance. He
seemed to feel his awful position, but made no allusion
to the crime.

Mr. Binns, the solicitor of Trinity-street, was retained
by the prisoner, and was in attendance to watch the pro-
ceedings.
As soon as he was placed in the dock Mr. Edwin,
the chief clerk, asked who gave the prisoner in charge.
Inspector Yates stepped forward, and replied that he
charged the prisoner, Frederick George Manning, with
the murder of Patrick O'Connor at No. 3, Minver-place,
Bermondsey, on the 9th instant. His wife was also
concerned in it.

Mr. SECHER asked whether he knew that O'Connor
was murdered. He replied that he saw the body and
perceived several wounds in the head. He had also been
shot, and he was confident that he bad been murdered.

Mr. SEC ER asked whether he knew that the prisoner
and his wile resided there?

Inspector Yates replied a witness was in attendance
who c3uld answer the question.
William Massey, medical student, said that he knew
the prisoner, Frederick George Manning, as he lodged
in his house, No. 3, Minver-place, Bermondsey. Wit-
ness left him and his wife in the house on the 31 or 4th
of August. He had frequently seen O'Connor at the
house, and he seemed on familiar terms with Manning
and his wife.

Inspector Yates was re-called and said he was at the
house on the 17th of August, when he found property
belonging to the prisoner.
Mr. SECKER said that as the prisoner's wife was re-
manded until Thursday next, ho should not proceed any
further with the examination. He inquired whether the
prisoner wished to ask any questions?
Mr. Binns said he should make no observation at
present.

The prisoner was then remanded until Thursday next,
and instantly conveyed to the gaol in the van.

FORGERY ON TEIE BANE OF SIR BENSAMIN HET-
WOOD.—Manchester is gaining some noteriety in the
annals of crime. While the recent forgery on the Man-
chester and Liverpool district bank is fresh in the recol-
lection of our readers, another fraud of a serious character
upon the much-respected firm of Sir 13. Heywood and Co.
has been discovered. The case is simply this :—A young
man named Whitfield, residing in Liverpool, saw an
advertisement for a clerk in the Liverpool Courier,
answered it, and had an interview in consequence with
Robinson, alien Mellor (the principal in the recent for-
geries here). At his request he came to Manchester, and
after some conversation about the situation, he was de
sired to go to Messrs. He wood's bank and get cash for
aancdh7laurerfi,o)rtt3.2sTl. Ih:.mTo:heeychweaqsue purpo to be signed
by Mr. W. Burton (who had at th 'a' time an account
with the bsnk), and was drawn favour. of:Messrs. Owen
paid in 50Z notes and
specie, and it was not till after some time that the forgery
was detected. Robinson is in custody, and will have to
take his trial for the offence in all probability. The
cheque is supposed to have been written by an accom-
plice named Macauley, who is also in the hands of the
police.
Conic AND PASSAGE RAILWAY.—The directors of
the Cork, Blackrock and Passage Railway have entered
into a contract with Mr. Moore for the building of the
Cork station-house at the eastern side of the Victoria-
road.. Application has been made to the Lords of the
Admiralty to prevent this company running its line along
the water's edge from Toureen to the Victoria Baths.
