DREADFUL AND BRUTAL MURDER.—ST. LOUIS,
AUG. 6,lB49.—There was a fracas in Palmyra, Mexico,
on the 2d instant. between John Wise, a clerk in the
Post-office in this city, and Thomas Hart, also. of St.
Louis. Wise is said to have discovered an improper
intimacy between his wife and Hart, through an inter-
cepted letter. Wise first shot Hart with a pistol, and
then hacked him to pieces with a bowie knife.—Ame-

APPREHENSION OF MARIA MANNING.
The capture of Maria Manning (alias Rue), the
female charged with having being concerned in this
horrible crime, has been effected. Thanks to the
energy and activity of our detective police force in
the first instance, and secondly, the great invention
of the age—the electric telegraph—the woman was
arrested yesterday in the city of Edinburgh, with a
large amount of property belonging to the deceased,
Patrick O'Connor, in her possession.
The circumstances under which the arrest took
place may be thus briefly related :—Among the offi-
cers employed to trace the suspected murderers was
Sergeant Shaw, of the detective force. From in-
quiries made in the neighbourhood of Manning's
residence, this officer ascertained beyond a doubt
that Maria Manning left Minver-place on the after-
noon of Monday, the lath instant, in a cab, taking
with her three or four large boxes. To find out the
driver of this vehicle was the next difficulty, and all
the officer's efforts to accomplish this failed until
Monday evening, when, in consequence of infor-
mation he obtained, Shaw sought out and disco•
vered a man named Kirk, driver of the Hackney cab,
No. 1,186. This man, on being questioned, admitted
that he had been called from the stand in Joiner-
street, Southwark, to take up a fare in the neigh-
bourhood of New Weston-street. He was unable to
describe the exact spot, nor could be state any parti-
culars as to his fare, except that it was a female of
very respectable exterior. On being taken to Min-
ver-place by the officer, Kirk at once recognised the
house No. 3, as the place where he took up his fare,
and he then detailed with great minuteness the route
she was driven by himself. He said that when she
left Minver-place she had with her three large boxes
and a carpet bag:, She first directed him to drive to
the London-bridge station of the South-Eastern
Railway, but, just as he was turning into the road
leading from the Borough to the terminus, she pulled
the check-string and bade him draw up his cab at the
door of Mr. Ash, stationer and printer, of No. 5, Wel-
lington-street, Borough. Having done so, the woman
alighted and went into the shop, where, it
has been ascertained, she puachased half a
dozen plain white cards. A pen and ink
having been handed to her at her request, she wrote
directions on four of the cards. Upon one she wrote
as follows :—" Mrs. Smith, passenger to Paris. To
be left till called for." Upon another. " Mrs. Smith,
passenger, to be left till called for ;" and upon the
two other cards it is believed that only the words,
" Mrs. Smith, passenger," were written. Having
paid Mr. Ash for the cards, the woman re-entered the
cab and desired Kirk to drive her to the South-
Eastern station. Arrived here, she desired him to
call a porter belonging to the railway, and upon one
presenting himself, she requested him to obtain some
tacks in order to fasten the direction cards upon her
boxes. The porter presently did so, and on his return
she alighted from the cab, and pointing out the two
largest boxes desired the man to append the two
directions first quoted, namely, " Mrs. Smith, pas-
senger to Paris, to be left till call for ;" and " Mrs.
Smith, passenger, to be left till called for." This was
done as directed, and the two boxes, by the woman's
desire, were conveyed into the luggage-office, with
directions that they were to be taken care of until
called for. The woman then re-entered the cab, and
was driven by Kirk to the London and North-
Western Railway station, where she alighted about a
quarter to six o'clock. Kirk saw her luggage, con-
sisting of one box and a carpet-bag, taken into the
station, and having been paid his fare drove away, and
saw no more of the woman.

These circumstances having been communicated to
Mr. Haynes, the superintendent of the detective
police, that officer at an early hour yesterday morn-
ing proceeded to the terminus of the South-Eastern
Railway, where he fortunately found the boxes
exactly as described, no inquiry having been made
for them since they were deposited on Monday week.
The suspicions previously entertained by Mr. Haynes
now ripened into certainties, and he at once sought
an interview with G. S. Herbert, the secretary to the
company, to whom he explained the whole matter,
and expressed the necessity of examining the con-
tents of the boxes. Mr. Herbert conferred with two
or three of the directors, who happened to be at the
station, and the Commissioners of Police having
backed Mr. Haynes's application by a request from
themselves to the same effect, the boxes were con-
veyed into the secretary's office, and there forced
open. The first glance at each disclosed a quan-
tity of female wearing apparel, which upon exami-
nation, proved to be marked with the name of
Maria Effie, the maiden name of Mrs. Manning. A
further examination discovered a quantity of ar-
ticles belonging to the deceased Patrick O'Connor,
and several letters writen by him to the supposed
murderess. Mr. Haynes now immediately proceeded
to the London and North-Western station, with the
view of tracing Maria Manning. His inquiries here
were fortunately most successful—in brief, we may
state, that he ascertained a female passenger, whose
luggage was marked with the name of Smith, had left
the Euston station on the morning of Tuesday, the
14th instant, by the 6.15 A.M. train, having booked
her place through to Edinburgh. There could be no
longer any doubt as to the direction the suspected
party had taken, and Mr. Haynes, at ten minutes to
one o'clock, telegraphed through to Edinburgh direct,
addressing the superintendent of the city police, and
informing him of the circumstances above detailed,
with a full description of the suspected party. Mr.
Haynes had scarcely arrived at Scotland-yard, on his
return, when a messenger from the telegraph office
reached there, bearing intelligence that Maria Manning
had been arrested upon the information for warded by
Mr. Haynes, by Mr. Moxey, the chief officer of the
Edinburgh constabulary. The activity displayed by this
officer may be judged of from the fact that scarcely
an hour elapsed between the message having been
sent, and the reply communicating the gratifying in-
telligence of the woman's arrest. At a later hour
last evening another telegraphic message was received
from Edinburgh, communicating the result of a
search made of the prisoner's person and luggage, from
which it appears that the following property was
found upon her :—Seventy-three sovereigns, one 501.
note, and six 101. notes, five of these latter bearing
the numbers advertised yesterday as having been paid
to Manning en Saturday, the 11th instant, on the
presentation of one of the deceased's cheques. In
addition to this money, there was also found in the
woman's possession all the missing scrip of the
Sambre and Meuse, and Boulogne and Amiens Rail-
ways, known to have been in the possession of
the deceased, and some articles of wearing apparel
belonging to him. In obedience to instruc-
tions sent down by telegraph, Mr. Moxey has
left Edinburgh in company with his prisoner,
and may be expected to arrive in town this
morning. The accused will, upon her arrival, be
placed in custody at the Gardner's-lane Police-sta-
tion, and brought up to the chief police-office for
examination probably tomorrow morning. The
boxes belonging to her have been brought from the
South-Eastern Railway station to Scotland-yard,
where their contents underwent a second examination
last night. A great deal of excitement prevailed in
the neighbourhood of Scotland-yard last evening, in
consequence of a report that the accused had arrived
in London, and a crowd of persons surrounded the
station up to a late hour.
Manning is still at large, and we fear we must add
that no clue to his retreat has been discovered. There
can be no doubt, however, that he has very little
money in his possession ; and this circumstance, it is
hoped, will have the effect of destroying all chance of
his escape.

(BY" ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH,)
EDINBURGH, TUESDAT.—A person, who there is
every, reason to believe is one of the parties concerned
in the atrocious murder at Bermondsey, was appre-
hended in Edinburgh, on Tuesday, by Mr. Moxey,
superintendent of
ntofa
police. On Monday evening Mr.
communication
tele-
graph from Inspector liaynes, Strand, London, and
in the course of his inquiries consequent thereon he
got such information as induced him to call, along
with a criminal officer, at a respectable lodging-house
in Addington-place, Edinburgh, on Tuesday fore
noon. Upon inquiry there for Mrs. Smith, the name
which it was understood Mrs. Manning had assumed,
he was shown into a room, in which he found a well-
dressed woman reading a newspaper of the 20th inst.,
which gives an account of the murder and a descrip-
tion of the parties supposed to have committed it.
From the appearance of this person, Mr. Moxey at
once concluded that lie. had found the party
of whom he was in search—the. supposed murderess,
Mary de Reux, or Manning. After some conversa-
tion, Mr. Moxey charged her as being the person of
that name accused of the murder of Patrick O'Connor.
This she denied; but Mr. Moxey having taken pos-
session of and searched her luggage, had his previous
belief of her identity fully confirmed by finding
amongst her wearing apparel the whole of the scrip
described in the advertisement regarding the murder.
Besides other scrip, he also found in her possession
