THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.

Yesterday afternoon Inspector Yates, of the M divi-
sion, who was bound over by the Coroner as the prose-
cutor of Frederick George Manning, and Maria his
wile, for the wilful murder of Patrick O'Connor, at
No. 3, Minver-place, Bermondsey, waited on Mr. Seeker,
at the Southwark Police Court, for his sanction to allow
a tradesman in the City to see the prisoner, in Horse-
monger lane Gaol.
The Inspector stated that on the afternoon of the Bth
of August a man answering the description of the male
prisoner called at the shop of Messrs. Eastman and Yeo,
stationers, No. 100, Cheapside, and requested to leave a
small air-gun, concealed in a cloth wrapper. Mr. Yeo
was in the shop at the time, and observed that the man
appeared in rather an excited state, but being particu-
larly engaged at the time, he made no observations to
the stranger, but received the gun and depositea it be
hind his counter; and on the man promising to call for
it the next morning he left the shop. About 12 o'clock
at noon (on the day of the murder) the same man called
for the air-gun, which was handed to him by Mr. Yeo,
and he had not seen him since. Hearing of the murder,
and the particular mode in which it was perpetrated,
and observing in the newspapers the appreheniion
and examination of the suspected murderer, he had every
reason to b"lieve that Manning was the person who had
called at his shop under the circumstances above de-
scribed. Mr. Yeo accordingly communicated with the
police authorities, and it was at his request the present
application was made, so that be might have an oppor-
tunity of seeing him.
Mr. Sacker—ls it your opinion that the person who
left and called for the gun is the man now in custody?
Inspector Yates—From the description given to me by
Mr. Yeo, I have reason to believe he is the party.
Mr. Seeker (to Mr. Yeo)—Had you a sufficient op-
portunity of observing the man's features so that you
might be enabled to identify him?
_ .

Mr. Yeo—l had, Sir. When he called on the morn-
ing of the 9th I took particular notice of him, as he was
a stranger to our establishment.
Mr. Seeker—Under those circumstances I shall fur-
nish you with an order to visit the gaol immediately, sa
that you may have an opportunity of pointing out the
stwscted person to the Inspector, if he is amongst the
inmates of the gaol.
The order of admission was accordingly made out by
the chief clerk, and Mr. Yeo, accompanied by Inspecm-
Yates, forthwith proceeded to the county gaol, where
every facility was affirded them by the Governor. The
male prisoners in the various wards were then mixed
together, and Mr. Yeo was allowed to examine the fea-
tures of each minutely. After a close inspection of all
present he was, however, unable to identify either of
them as the man who had deposited the air-gun on his
premises. They then left the prison and returned to
the police court, when they informed the magistrate of
their unsuccessful inquiries.
Later in the day Mr. Adams, of the firm of Adams
and Hellstard, pawnbrokers, of Bermondsey-street,
waited on the magistrate, and produced a pair of pistols,
which he said had been pledged at his shop by a person
answering the description of Manning. The applicant
stated that on the previous evening be was standing at
his door, when he was accosted by one of the officers of
the police, who asked him whether he had taken any
pistols in pledge from any man during the last month.

arid found one of them had recently been fired, and that
the other had not been used. His suspicions were im-
mediately excited, which caused him to come forward
and produce them.
Mr. Secker then asked him if he had made any in-
qUiries at the house where the man had given his
address ?

He replied that he had, and that the house was occu.
pied by a Mr. Walsh ; but that person denied all know-
ledge of any man of the name of Jennings. Applicant
then described the person of the man who pledged the
weapons, and he said that he bad no such party ever
lodging in his house.
Mr. Seeker asked him by whom the pistols were ma-
nufactured ?

Mr. Adams said they had engraved upon them the
name of " Blanch, Gracechurch-street."
Mr. Seeker said he had better leave the discharged
pistol with Inspector Yates who would make the lieces-
sary inquiries, and report thereon at a future period.
The pistol was then marked by Mr. Adams, and
handed over to the inspector.
In the course of the day Mr. Binns, as solicitor on
the behalf of Manning, made an applicati,n relative to
the sum of money, 201., which had been handed over to
Mr. Solown,the legal adviser of Maria Manning, to be
applied to the purposes of defence in the forthcoming
prosecution. He said that out of the above amount he
had received 5/. 165., a sum totally inadequate to defray
the expenses which will be necessarily required fer
his defence, and that the object of the present applica-
tion was for the purpose of requesting that a fair
proportion of the money already advanced might be
given up. He then quoted from " Chitty's Reports" a
clause on the relative rights of husband and wife, and
bearing upon the subject of his application, and which
was to the following effect:—" In general every contract
made with, or iecurity given to, a married woman vests
in her husband, and be may sue alone to enforce the
contract; but if a note be given to a married woman, as
adminiatratrix, even by her husband and others, then,
after her husband's death, she may sue the latter. If a
gift or legacy, whether specific or otherwise, be given to
ta married woman, for her own use, and at her own dis-
posal, without other words, this vests the beneficial
interest separately in her, and in those cases, if no other
trustee be appointed, a court of equity would treat the
husband merely as a trustee, and compel him to act
accordingly. But if the bequest be to a married woman
for her own use and benefit without adding the words
at her own fisposal.' the wife does not take a separate
interest, but her husband is entitled." Having given the
above quotation, which he applied on the part of Mare
fling, that, at all events, half the sum already given up
should be devoted to the purposes of his defence; that
there were seventy-three sovereigns, besides some
French Rentes of considerable value, found on Mrs.
Manning, and which had no connexion with the pro-
perty of the murdered man; and he contended that
Manning, as the husband, was justly entitled to the
whole of it.

Mr. Seeker said that at present he should make no
order on the subject, but should take time to consider
the matter.

Mr. Binns then withdrew.

CURIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday night last,
J. Crineau took a ticket for Statcross, at Bristol, where
he resides, intending to go to Sidmouth by way of Ex-
mouth. He lett the Bristol and Exeter down platform
at the usual hour, 1.15, A.M., and at ablut 6. A.M., some
labourers on their way to work discovered him lying on
the up-rails, about half a mile above Wellington. As-
sistance was rendered, and he was promptly conveyed
to the Half moon Hotel, Wellington, where it was dis-
covered that several ribs were fractured, his body was
much bruised, and his head cut in many places. He
must have lain upon the line for upwards of three hours.
Mr. Blackmore, the intelligent superintendent of the
Bristol and Exeter Railway Police, was sent down to
make some inquiries, and he found that the unfortunate
gentleman must have fallen through the window, us the
doors were locked on the off-side. It is supposed that
at so late a period of the evening Mr. Crineau must have
felt drowsy and fallen asleep; but, startled by the
whistle previous to coining into the Wellington station,
he must have forgotten where he was, and from the
lights, imagining himself in bed with his room in
flames, scrambled through the mindow, and met the
accident, from which, it is believed,, he has every
chance of recovering. He is, we understand, registrar
or births and deaths for one of the Bristol districts.-

THE GAME SEAL.ON.—Partridges are said to be
very plentiful and in good condition, so that sportsmen
are likely to have " game" enough before long; but the
poor birds will have a temporary respite in many cases,
till the corn is off the ground. Grouse shooting and
deer stalking in the north are the great royal and aristo-
cratic pursuits at this time, and the t is said to be
excellent, great quantities of game having been almost
daily " bagged" by even ordinary shots, whilst "crack"
sportsmen bag their " braces" by scores. Hares are also
said to be plentiful, so that the pleasures of the field are
likely this season to supply a satisfactory recreation to
the loTere of the "dog and gun."—Newcastle jov.rnA

COCOA.—Fine red West India is still wanted for home
trade purposes, and as the supply is scanty former rates
are well supported. For interior and grey there are,
however, not many buyers, and a slight fall in the value
is apparent. At public sale 450 pkgs Trinidad were
only in part sold at from.39s to 465, and one lot of supe-

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—Since
the statement of imports was made up, there is a
further considefable arrival, chiefly of spring corn,
with which the market is now well supplied. During
the week, though more rain has fallen than of late.
harvest operations have received no interruption, and by
the end of the we, k,st large quantity of grain will be
housed. The trade has been very much depressed all
the week, and where sales have been effected a further
reduction must have been submitted to; at such a time
price are often irregular. 0 ,ving to the harvest being
so general, there was but a thin attendance of farmers.
and a consequent small show of old wheat, [Led our mil-
lers, notwitf standing a decline in Mark-lane, were free
buyers at last week's prices. In foreign wheat but little

More samples of new wheat were exhibited, quality not
generally fine, or condition good, but reports are favour-
able as to the probable yield. Some fine Seal barley on
the market, but maltsters are hardly general buyers yet.
A continued good demand fur grinding qualities. We
note no alteration in linseed, but the market is rather
weak, and cakes are easier to buy. No trinsactioni in
rapeseed, but a good demand for cakes, which are scarce.

lavEttPooL, SEPT. 4.--Toe arrivals from lriltad
since Tuesday, which coLsist prircipllly of this year's
crop, are to a moderate ext. to, but those cattstwit.e are
trifling. Fr ,m Europe little has !:eery rent ived, but from
the United States large supplit.s of Indian corn and flour
have come forward. The expo, is in the same time are
small. - The weather has be« n far . from favourable for
harvest operations, much rein hiving fallen at night with

a close and warm temperature during the day. A great
deal of wheat in this neighbourhood is still unsecured.
The trade has bEen cloracteriz,d by great dullness, and
in the limited transactions in *heat and flour a decline
of fully 2,1 per 701 b. and 6il per 1961 b. has been submitted
to. Indian corn was held firmly at previous rates, but
little bthiness done. Oats and oatmeal slow sal', at a
decline of Id per 451 b. and 6d per 2401 b. Barley, with
a fair demand, receded Id per 601 b. No change in beans
and peas. At this day's market there was a fair attend-
ance of town and country dealers. Wheat and flour met
a fair consumptive demand, at Friday's decline f2d per
701 b. on the former, and 6d per barrel on the latter. The
demand for Indian corn was very limited; in the few sales
6d per 4801 h. less was taken, 253 6d being the top price
for fine yellow. Barley, beans, and peas withou: change
from our last quotations. Oats and oatmeal neglected.
at Id per 451 b. and 61 per 2401 b, reduction. Several
small parcels of new Irish wheat and oats were exhibited
for sale, the condition of both being very had, were dis-
posed of at prices ranging from 5s 4d to 5s 10d per 701 b,
and 2s 4d to 2s 7d per 451 b. New oatmeal, 24s to 255
per 2401 b.

LEEDS, SEPT. 4.—The arrival of wheat at market to'
day is only moderate, but the continuance of favourable
harvest weather causes the corn trade to be very dull, •
and old wheat is 25 per quarter, and new wheat fully Is
to 2s per quarter lower than last week, and the millers
buy for immediate consumption. Beans are also is per
quarter cheaper, and oats rather better to buy.

BARNET LARGE 1311.AST AND HORSE FAIR.
FIRST DAY, SEPT. 4.—The great beast and horse
fair began this day. The number of cattle offered far
exceeding that of last year, drove after drove arriving
in and around the neighbourhood on Monday evening,
so, that it was with considerable difficulty pasturage
could be found for the night. At St. Alban 's also there
were great numbers, as well as horses of all sorts, sixes,
breeds, and ages, in the different vicinities on Monday,
where they were examintd and culled by London com-
mission dealers, Messrs; Anderson, Attwood, Cox, Grey,
Quarterman, Dye, Philips, Binford, Collins, and maul
others, they purchasing and sending away most of the
finest carriage, coach, and hunting animals ; Fie"
varying from 50/. up to 100 guineas each. This day
pod second-rate riding and driving found buyers 5$
heavy sums, while aged and inferior were little noticed.
It was computed that there was nearly 700 Welsh
ponies offered for sale, besides a considerable quantity o'e
forest and others ; best four years old, to match, fit for
driving in carriage by ladies and others (under duty),
sold well at from 14/. to 211. each ; ordinary
ditto at from 101 to 121 ; still half at least remained

notion—indeed we always had, and said we had—that
the Cork arid Bandon line would pay, and pay well. d

deserted, and, after a court-martial, were dismissed the
service, proceeds but slowly. Commander Pitman '3
charged generally with harsh and violently severe con'
duct towards the ship's company. The court has already
coon sitting for .six days, and the examination and cross-
examination of witnesses is expected to prolong the trial
fur several days more.
COMPETITION FOR THE HANGMAN'S SITUATION."'
Since the conviction of the notorious Gleeson
Wilson, at
Liverpool Assiz -s, last wuck, there have been two ape--
eariens from parties wishful to undertake the situation
of the "finisher of the law" in the case of this murderer,
who is to be executed on Saturday week. One is front
a person who will do the job for half the sum which
Caleraft charges— viz, 181; and the other is much nor:e
reasonable in his request, undertaking to turn him oglit
as " tidy a manner" as the great proficient CillelL
himself; and that without lee or reward. Calcrsi6
how,vc.r, retained.—Liverpool Standard.
