CAPTURE OF MANNING.

The account of the capture of Manning on Mon-
day evening, at Jersey, which appeared exclusively ill
the Fourth Edition of The Sun of last evening,
was officially announced to the police authorities in
Scotland-yard, in the course of last night by the
following telegraphic message :
" SOUTHAMP TON, WEDNESDAY, 7.49 P.M.
"Manning was apprehended at ten o'clock last
night, by the chief of police of St. Helier's, Mr.
Chevalier, his son, and Sergeants Langley and
Lockyer, of the London detective police. He was
in bed at a house near Beaumont, in the paribhof St.
Peter's. The officers had been in search of him all
day, and had returned to town, when a publican of,
Beaumont informed them of a person of Manning 's
description being in that neighbourhood. They im-
mediately again went in pursuit of him, entered his
room, and Mr. Chevalier threw himself across the
bed in which he lay. He confessed the murder, and
said his wife was the instigator, and fired the shot
into O'Connor's head as he went down stairs. He
also stated that he would have given himself up next
day had he not been captured. He is still in gaol at
St. Helier's awaiting the arrival of the warrant."
It is evident that there is a mistake in the official
account. Manning was captured, not on the night of
Tuesday, as therein stated, but on the night of
Monday, and the account sent up by telegraph was
probably written in Jersey on Tuesday, although it
was not telegraphed from Southampton until yes-

terday.
The Jersey Times of Tuesday gives the following
particulars of the manner in which the arrest of
Manning was effected :
" We are now enabled to announce the gratifying
fact that Manning was captured last evening about
nine o'clock, and safely lodged in prison. He arrived
in this island last Thursday week, the 16th, and took
lodgings at Mr. Berry's, the Navy Arms, in Mul-
caster-street, where he remained until the following
Thursday morning, and on his then leaving, desired
that his bed should be kept for him, as he would re-
turn on Saturday. While there, he went out early
in the morning and returned in the evening, generally
under the influence of liquor, of which he drank more
before he retired for the night. He had once ar-
ranged with the captain of a sailing vessel to go with
him early in the morning to Guernsey, but he did not
get up in time.
" From his quitting the Navy Arms until yester-
day, there was no direct trace of him ; he took lodg-
ings on Thursday last at Mr. Bertheau's, a private
house a little off the St. Auhin's-road, on this side
the third tower; while there he kept very close, and
might have remained longer concealed but for the
notice taken of his so frequently sending to the same
house for a bottle of brandy. This caused a suspi-
cion, and information was given to Mr. Centenier
Chevalier, who immediately repaired to the place, ac-
companied by two officers of the London detective
police, one of whom was well acquainted with Man-
ning from his having had to do with him in the
affair of the mail robbery on the Great Western
Railway, for which Poole and Nightingale were
convicted.
" On arriving at the house, it was ascertained that
the lodger was in bed, and admirable arrangements
were made for getting a sight of his face, and securing
him before he could offer any resistance. He was,
however, easily captured, and was in a very nervous
state. Near him was a bottle of liquor and a razor.
He immediately recognised Mr. Edward Langley, of
the London police, and stated that he was glad he
had come, as he was thinking of going to London to
explain all.
" One of his first questions was, ' Is the wretch
taken ?'--alluding to his wife; and on being an-
swered in the affirmative, he observed, ' I am glad
of it—that will save my life. In subsequent conver-
sation he endeavoured to throw the whole blame on
the woman, and stated that she had caused the grave
to be dug some time before ; and, after having laid
the cloth for dinner, had invited O'Connor down
stairs to wash his hands, and while he was going to
the kitchen for that purpose had taken the opportunity
of firing at him from behind.
" The prisoner admitted that all the things in the
room where he was lodging belonged to him, adding
that he had found a man to give him 121. for his
furniture in London—all the money he had to start
with, of which seven sovereigns, which he gave up,
was the remainder. On his arrival at the Navy
Arms, in Mulcaster-street, his first inquiry was to see
the Times newspaper.
" During his stay there he regularly breakfasted
and supped with the other guests, but rarely dined
with them. He carried himself rather high, talked of
his losses by the French revolution, that he must go
to France, and should require an interpreter, as he
did not speak the language.
" During the passage from Southampton he had
forced himself upon a respectable passenger, with
whom he shared a double-bedded room, but to whom,
as well as to several masters of vessels, and others in
the house, he so behaved as to render himself anything
but a favourite. Ile always evinced a great desire
to see the newspapers, and on Saturday, the 19th, he
went to the Union Hotel on purpose to read the

Times.
"At the Navy Arms he paid regularly for every-
think he had, including a glass of brandy, before he
went away. This, coupled with his leaving a trunk,
a coat, a pair of trousers, &c., made the host fully
expect his return.
The prisoner, it appears, at once confessed the
murder, and accused his wife of being, not only the
principal concocter of the plot of assassination, but
also the actual perpetrator of the crime. It is evi-
dent that she had appropriated to her own use the
whole of the property of which O'Connor had been
plundered, and that she left her partner in guilt to his
fate without furnishing him with even the means of
escape. Manning stated to the officers that it was his
intention to have surrendered had he not been taken,
indeed it would appear that he had no other alterna-
tive but to surrender as soon as his money
was exhausted. his ignorance of the French
language prevented him from availing him-
self of the many opportunities which must
have presented themselves for escape to that country.
Had his wife accompanied him, it is not improbable
but that they might together have effected their es-
cape to the Continent, and have for some time longer
evaded the pursuit of justice.
The details that have yet reached us as to the means
by which the officers of justice have succeeded in
tracking his guilty steps have as yet only reached us
in a meagre and imperfect form, but already sufficient
is known to show how small are the chances of escape
now left to those who commit enormous crimes.
Wherever they go the awakened indignation of the
country vigilantly seeks them out, and men who have
never seen them before supply the information which
leads to their detection. While in its own way so-
ciety thus strengthens the hands of the law, the police,
by more systematic and skilful means, follow in the
trail of the fugitive. The dexterity and the unwearied
industry with which, in this instance, they have pursued
the perpetrators of a most atrocious murder, are de-
serving of the highest commendation. By some mis-
chance the culprits bad a long start of their pursuers,
and ere the slightest clue to their movements could be
found days had elepsed, and the scent lay cold. The
arrest of the woman was accomplished with such
marvellous speed, when the first traces of her were
discovered, that some impatience began to be mani-
fessed at the delay in securing the person of her
husband. Yet, singularly enough, the means by
which their apprehension was brought about were in
several important respects the same. They both
flight from justice in cabs, and in
commenced their
both instances the drivers being found out, gave the
information which enabled the police to follow. In
both cases their boxes were discovered before them-
selves, and supplied important evidence as to their
whereabouts. In both cases strangers, to whom their
persons were quite unknown, set the officers upon
them. As we have already mentioned, Manning left
Bainbridge's (the broker s), house on the 15th inst., in
a cab, which conveyed him by back streets and a cir-
cuitous route to the South-Western Railway. There,
although formerly a railway guard, and probably
therefore known to many servants on that line, all
trace of him disappears, and he is not again heard of
till on board a steamer bound for the Channel Islands,
where, by one of those providential accidents which
so frequently occur in the history of great crimes, a
young woman to whom his person was known re-
cognised him. She had not then heard of the
murder, the news of which only reached her after
landing in Guernsey. Of course, as soon as she
became aware of what had happened, she immediately
communicated with the Governor of the island, who,
in his turn, forwarded the information to the Home-
office. In the meantime Langley, an active officer of
the detective force, who was perfectly acquainted with
Manning's person, bad been dispatched along the
South-Western line to follow up the clue supplied by

the cabman. As soon as the police authorities in
Scotland-yard heard that Manning had been recog-
nised on bo9rd the sfesmer to the Channel Islands,
they dispatched Langley thither in quest of him.
Soon after landing, the officer had any doubt he
might entertain of not being on the right track en-
tirely removed by finding the murderer's box in a
lodging-house, where he had slept for two nights after
landing, and which he had left, with a carpet-bag, and
in the company of another male lodger. Some papers
found in the breast pocket of a coat which was among
the contents of the box, clearly established the
fact that the property belonged to Manning. But
the questions then arose, what had become of him
since? had he left the island? and, if so, whither
had he gone ? These were points only to be asc3r-
tained by cautiously pushing inquiries. At length,
however, further tidings were collected. A gentleman
saw two men, one of whom carried a carpet bag, at
St. Malo, endeavouring to strike a bargain with a
boatman to carry them over to Guernsey. He wished
himself, to go there, and, thinking that the persons in
question might be disposed to share the expense with
him, he went up and addressed them. On asking them
if they wished to cross to Guernsey, he was answered
in a very surly manner, that they did not ; and he
left them. Shortly after doing so the remarkable
resemblance of one of them to the description of
Manning struck him, and he communicated the fact
to the proper authorities. This confirmed the suspi-
cion that Manning was still in the island, and every
precaution was taken to prevent his escape ; but
several days passed, and his lurking-place remained
undiscovered until ten o'clock on Monday night,
when, as already stated, a publican at Beaumont gave
the information which led to his immediate arrest.
Both the perpetrators, or supposed perpetrators, of the
Bermondsey murder are now in the hands of the law,
and so far the public indignation will be satisfied in
reference to a crime as diabolical in its conception
and execution as any in that black catalogue which
of late years we have had to record.
A letter from Southampton, dated nine, P.M., last
night, says that Mr. Whither, of the London detec-

tive force, was in Southampton at the time the news
of his capture arrived there, and telegraphed it to the
Secretary of State.
Inspector Haynes left the metropolis this morning'
for Jersey, with the necessary warrant to authorise
the removal of the prisoner.
Intelligence was received at Bristol yesterday
afternoon of the arrest of Manning in Jersey. The
information, which was communicated by a
railway guard, was brought from Jersey by
Captain T. Russell, of the Brunswick steam• packet,
which arrived at Torquay yesterday morning. Cap-
tain Russell is the gentleman to whose praiseworthy
exertions we are indebted for forwarding our parcel
from our correspondent, containing the account of the
arrest of Manning, which appeared exclusively in the
Fourth Edition of The Sun of last evening, at seven
o'clock, thus anticipating by several hours the ac-
counts received by the police authorities in Scotland-
yard.

It appears that Sergeant Langley and Constable
Lockyer had been out all day on Monday pursuing
their search, when, while returning to their quarters
about half-past nine in the evening, the landlord of
the house in which Manning was staying beckoned
them to him, and stated he had got a man in bed
whom he strongly suspected was the man they were
looking after, so nearly did he ans wer the description
of the person charged with the murder of O'Connor,
as printed and circulated by the police authorities.
Having procured the assistance of the local autho-
rities, they proceeded, accompanied by two of the
Jersey officers, to Manning's room, and found him in
bed. One of the officers then threw himself upon
Manning, who, however, offered not the slightest re-
sistance.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
JERSEY, TUESDAY EVENING.
During the course of the day applications for ad-
mittance to the prison, by persons anxious to
catch a glimpse of the supposed great cri-
minal, were very numerous, and in general
these applications were readily complied with,

and curious visitors, in great numbers, obtained ad-
mittance. Manning, who was generally sitting on a
form, or walking about the yard, seemed to gaze
with something like an expression of indignation at
those persons, who -came to stare at him as they
would at a wild beast, but he took no notice of the
other prisoners, or of the persons connected with
the gaol, whose anxiety to get a sight of
him, seemed, however, to the full as intense
as that of the visitors from withoutside the prison
walls. His first inquiry on being captured was

whether that - of a wife and traitor to him had
been removed to London. He is rather communica-
tive to those with whom he comes in contact in the
gaol, and has frequently explained to them everything
that occurred in reference to the murder. He states
that his wife shot O'Connor as he entered the room,

and declares that he himself (Manning) had nothing
whatever to do with the perpetration of the atro-

cious deed. He endeavours to put on an appearance
of nonchalance and resolution which is evidently
assumed, and which is with difficulty supported. It

is understood that the authorities here intend to
detain him until they have instructions from the
Home-office on the subject of his transference to the
custody of the officers of the metropolitan police.
These instructions will most probably not be received
until Friday.

RECEPTION BY MRS. MANNING OF THE IN-
TELLIGENCE OF THE CAPTURE OF HER

HUSBAND.—(THIS DAY.)
In the course of the morning Mrs. Manning was
made acquainted with the capture of her husband at
Jersey, and that his arrival was hourly expected.
On receiving the unwelcome intelligence she turned
pale, and a slight tremor was perceptible, but these
symptoms only lasted for a few seconds, and she
became tis cool and as calm as if she was really inno-
cent. When informed that Manning had charged
her with firing the pistol she said it was false, for she
knew nothing of the murder ; that she was quite
innocent of every thing connected with it. The pri
soner, it will be recollected, is to be brought up for
re-examination to-morrow, but should Manning not
arrive in London in the course of the night or early
in the morning, it is understood that no evidence be-
yond what is really essential will be gone into ; that
when placed in the dock she will be informed that
she is again to be remanded until the arrival
of her husband, so in all probability
the proceedings will occupy but a few minutes. The
authorities of the prison state that the prisoner pos-
sesses the most extraordinary nerve they ever wit-
nessed. She eats her meals heartily, and retires to
bed about eleven o'clock at night ; and her sleep re-
mains unbroken until about eight o'clock in the
morning. She makes no allusion to the murder, nor
has the name of O'Connor or that of her husband
once escaped her lips. From some circumstances
which have transpired the police are of opinion that a
third party is mixed up in the murder ; and yester-
day Mr. Massey was questioned in reference to a
Frenchman he informed the police that he had often
heard Mrs. Manning speak of, but that he never saw
the person ; and this opinion is confirmed by a letter
being found, written by her, directed to the British
Hotel, Boulogne, the contents of which have not been
allowed to transpire. In consequence of the publicity
given to Manning's apprehension, the immediate
vicinity of the station-house of the M division was
surrounded during the day by an anxious body of
persons waiting for the arrival of Manning.
The following appeared exclusively in the Fourth
Edition of The Sun last night :
Captain T. Russell, of the Brunswick steam-packet,
from Jersey to Torquay, this morning, at four o'clock,
reports the positive capture of Manning, the supposed
murderer of Patrick O'Connor, on Monday evening,
in a small public-house, at St. Aubins, near St.
Hilliers, Jersey.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
Tuesday Morning, Eleven o'clock, Aug. 28.
St. Heliers, Jersey.
Last night, about 9 o'clock, Frederick Manning,
the supposed murderer of Patrick O'Connor, was
taken into custody by Mr. Centenier Chevalier,
and two Metropolitan Police- officers, at an
hotel in St. Aubins, about three miles distant
from this place. He had retired to bed, where he for-

tunately was secured, and brought to her Majesty's
prison shortly before ten o'clock, and delivered over
to the charge oF Mr. Kendrick, the Governor thereof.
Soon after Sir Thomas Le Breton attended at the
gaol, and every proper precaution being taken, he
was left for the night in immediate charge of the
principal turnkey.

DuriHg the night he alluded to the murder of
O'Connor, endeavouring to exonerate himself of the
dreadful crime laid to his charge ; also stating dis •
tinctly that his wife committed the horrible deed•
He talked with a degree of satisfaction that his wife
was in custody, as she had dome all, and had left him
in total ignorance of her destination, without money.
When breakfast was taken to him he observed a news-
paper that was given by one person to another, and
without hesitation asked for a perusal of it, which
was declined ; he also asked for a pipe and some
tobacco of a turnkey on duty, and was told it was
against the rules of the prison.

From appearances it is evident he has been addicted
;o drinking to excess lately. He looks emaciated

and pale.

From the information respecting his possession of
money, it appears he had not the command of more
than the amount obtained by the sale of his stock of

furniture.

DESIGNS OF RUSSIA,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—Now that there is good reason to suppose
that the noble effort of the Hungarians to
in-airlialU
their liberty has been baffled by the overwheirilim
forces of Russia and Austria, the inhabitants ( f
this
country must be led anxiously to inquire what po-
sition England is likely to assume ?
Public opinion in Britain has been most powerfully
elicited in favour of the Hungarians, too slowly
indeed to enable them to bear up against the enemy,
either by our contributions and the moral force of our
sympathies, or by the interference of our Govern-
ment; and there may now be a temptation to sit with
folded hands mourning indeed the catastrophe, but
regretting our inability to ameliorate or prevent it. We
aro led to fear this the more from the position we now
occupy with regard to the Romans. Our national sym-
pathies were and are strong with them, too, but hope
seems to have vanished with their defeat, and we now
sorrowfully, indeed, but indolently, listen to the tales
of their sufferings by the block, the Inquisition, or the
oppressions of the rude soldiery. It is to be hoped,
however, that our course will be different with regal d
to Hungary, and that it may even yet be altered in
relation to the Italians.

Let the public of this country demand then of our
Government, that they protest against the slightest
infraction of the ancient Hungarian constitution, and
against the exercise of oppression and cruelty upon
the unfortunate conquered. Let them demand that
they protest peacefully, if possible, but even by hold-
ing out the prospect of war, if their voice be not
attended to. If our Government refuse at first to do
this, let it be forced on them by the repeated voice of
the nation.

This course of action on the part of England seems
called for even by her national pride. The despotic
Powers know her feelings, but have hitherto treated
them with indifference; if she now show that she is
ready to permit them to find utterance in empty wind,
they will hereafter treat her public voice with con -
tempt. The friends of rational liberty, on the other
hand, will repudiate her sympathy as selfish, calcu-
lating, and cold. They will reject all her claims to
the character of benevolence, when they see her
sit indolently by, with the remedy in her
hands, listening to tales of the bitter suf-
ferings and death of those whose only crime has
been patriotism and philanthropy, enjoying her own
independence and liberty, without extending one look
of active sympathy to those who are struggling
under the thraldrom of a cruel despotism.
But a far-sighted selfishness merely on our part
would also lead us at present to rouse ourselves in
this matter. Our own political and commercial in-
terests are at stake. If Russia establish a strong
power in the East, and Austria become her depen-
dent ally, how soon may not only the latent sparks
of liberty still existing on the continent be quenched,
but despotism even roll its waves to our own shore,
and leave us only the wreck of our once boasted con-
stitution and exalted personal liberty. We are too
apt to imagine that we have nothing to fear on
this account, by reason of the advanced state of public
opinion in this country. We may, indeed, as long as
we are on our guard, have nothing to fear ; but
there is some cause of alarm when we are found
so indifferent to the cause of liberty as to sit down
at ease, and permit other freemen to be trampled
under foot. There can be no doubt that no power
is so much abhorred by Russia and Austria as
Britain, and that these empires would lend their influ-
ence to no cause with more good will than to the
destruction of our liberties ; and we find, on exa-
mination, that we have also many and powerful
enemies among ourselves. The men who have not
scrupled to use even the basest means to injure the
cause of liberty in other lands would be sure to lend
keartily their powerful influence to root it out at home.
With regard to the enmity of the despotic powers,
what means will they be more likely to use, as their
their power and influence extends, to injure this
country than the preventing as far as possible the
entry of our manufactures into their territories ?
Besides this, the extension will have the negative
effect of preventing a large increase of commercial
intercourse with the rich agricultural districts of the
Danube, if the Hungarians continue in the enjoy •
ment of their liberties.

There is a motive, however, calling for our inter-
ference stronger than any of them. The Divine
Being has implanted in the human mind the principle,
impelling it forward to defend the right of the weak
against the physical strength and the tyranny of the
strong. In collective localities, in more serious cases,
this power has, for the sake of convenience, been
handed over to the regularly constituted Govern-
ments. But where no supreme power exists every
man has a claim on his fellow-men to defend him
from the infraction of his rights, at whatever cost to
himself; and as there is no supreme power among
nations, each has thus a claim upon the others for
protection. The man who neglects this duty would
be scouted by society, and the nation who sacrifice
it to any selfish purpose must in the end expect a
similar fate.
It is to be hoped that public feeling in this country
will always still be on the alert until it find, by
whatever means, its ends accomplished with regard
to the Hungarians, and that it will yet awake again
to exercise itself in behalf of the Italians.
In conclusion, we would briefly advert to the
present peace movement, on account of its important
bearing on this question. Many of the supporters
of that movement, indeed the great majority, we
doubt not, are true friends of national liberty ; and
we would just ask them to beware that they injure
not the cause they love. Do they expect to influence
despotic or ambitious powers ? Then, such powers
are very unlikely to listen to their advice ; war is
their necessary element. On the other hand, may
they not injure the good cause of freedom by
giving peace too prominent a place among
its advocates ? For instance, at the present
time, may not the excessive desire to
maintain peace prevalent in this country have
weakened its influence on the affairs of Hungary and
Italy ? May it not have inspired Russia with greater
confidence in sending her armies to assist Austria,
and France in dispatching hers to assist the Pope ?
These powers will smile blandly on the movement as
long as it weakens the opponents of their ambitious
designs, but will take good care not to be practically
affected by it themselves. What could be the motive
of the French Government, for instance, for giving it
their encouragement ?
Peace is a blessing, but if we sacrifice purity and
justice for its sake, we are only laying up for our-
selves in the end large stores of bloodshed and misery.
Yours very respectfully, S.

THE POOR-LAWS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Siu,—A most desirable end requires accomplishing
in regard to the poor-laws, and which is, a total repeal
of the present numerous enactments, and of the poor-
law rules and orders. Since the first new poor-law
was passed, in 1634, there have been so many amend-
ments, additions, and alterations that it is scarcely
possible for professional men to be correct upon them ;
at any rate, they are so complicated as to mislead
frequently. This ought not to be; but, on the con-
trary, capable of ready reference and clear under-
standing. The same remarks apply to the orders and
regulations issued, from time to time, by the late
Poor-law Commissioners and the present Poor-law
Board.

FATAL OCCURRENCE.—HASTINGS, AUGUST 28.
This morning, as two young men were bathing between
Hastings and St. Leonards, one of them was observed to
sink, apparently from fright, at being suddenly out of
his depth. His companion was seen to try to save him,
and was unfortunately dragged under water by him.
Both were drowned. Their names were George Col-
lins, a mechanic, and John Fowler, a gentleman's Fe r -
vaut. A boat was soon on the spot, and efforts were
made to discover the bodies. After a vigorous search
and an inquest was subsequently
