felled her to the ground. The blood flowed from the
wounds he had inflicted in torrents, and some of the by-
standers having called i❑ the police, she was conveyed to

in defence, said he was very drunk, and did not know

THE MURDER AT BERMONDSEY.
(ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS, THIS DAY.)
It was expected that Maria Manning would have
arrived in town to-day in time to be brought up at
the Bow-street or Southwark Police-court, but up to
the time of our going to press she had not arrived i❑
custody from the north. Doubtless she will arrive
by the express train due about five o'clock, in which
case she will not be brought before the magistrates
'Until to-morrow morning.
Up to the hour of our going to press no intelligence
of the arrest of Manning had been received at the
Head Police-office; in Scotland-yard.

STRAND THEATRE.
An adaptation to the English stage of the plot of
Don Pasquale was produced here on Monday-, under
the title of My First and Last Courtship. The cha-
racter of which the Don was the prototype was sus-
tained by Mr. W. Farren, who gave us an admirable
portrait of senile imbecility. He made him not
the rollicking old bachelor which Lablache
makes him, but rather a faded Lord Ogleby.
Mrs. Stirling was the Norina, and acted
admirably. The scene in which the poor old man
attempts to pick up her glove was admirably acted
by both artistes, as was that in which he attempts to
climb a ladder to gather some peaches for his lady-
love; the climax, however, was the scene in which he
attempts to dance the Lavolta. The author has very
judiciously laid the scene of his pleasant farce in the
time of Charles IL, which gives him the advantage of
handsome costumes. The piece was completely suc-
cessful, and will no doubt have a run. Hearts are
Trumps continues to draw crowded houses every
evening. Nothing can be superior to the acting of
Mr. IV. Farren, Mrs. Stirling, Mr. Leigh Murray,
and Mr. Compton in this admirable drama.
