BEWLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S
CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER.
—This Preparation contains, in a highly concentrated state, and
without the addition of any more heating stimulant, all the car-
minative and restorative properties of this useful and grateful aro-
matic, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the bulk
of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity
of the powder to produce the desired effect, BE %VLEY, FISHER, and
CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when
taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other
medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder. It is
recommended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner-
yens habits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused throughout
the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and
sense of oppression after meals, and restoring the tone of the
stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi-
cines, and in correcting the chill which soda and other aerated or
mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic
property.
In bottles at 2s. 6d. and 45., prepared only by BEWLEY, FISHER,
and Co., Dame-street, Dublin, Chemists to the Queen and Princ e
Albert, by Special Appointment.
Also their Anodyne Lettuce Lozenges, for coughs, colds, asthma,
and affections of the chest.
Doctor Duncan, of Edinburgh, and other leading members of the
profession, have strongly recommended Lactucarium (the inspis-
sated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing
and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in
the troublesome cough attendant on consumption. To increase its
efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and
demulcents, and have adopted the form of a lozenge as being the
most agreeable mode for its administration.
Sold in packets Is. I d. each, by all Chemists in the United
Kingdom, and prepared sololy by Bewley, Fisher, and Co., Dame-
street, Dublin, Chemists to the Queen and Prince Albert, by Special
Appointment.

Come, venerable musket, come, GU N.
And have a song from me ;
For certainly I owe a sum
Of gratitude to thee.
Thou and myself for years have been
Companions of the field,
Where oft thy shooting powers were seen,
And mine alike revealed.
How often have I lifted up
Thy barrel and thy stock,
While _Master Dash, sagacious pup,
Has marked some hen or cock. •
And now, once more, respected piece,
Thou'lt act with Dash's snout,
For leaves are scarce, and summer's lease
Is very nearly out.
My shooting coat, from M. and Son,
Is ready for the sport,
Aad such an admirable one
Of Moses have I bought.
As long as thou hest marked in air
The children of the wing,
I've never had the luck to wear
A better sort of thing.
Moses and Son may well be sought
By every sporting Don.
When such prime garments may be bought,

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
ARRIVAL OF MANNING IN LONDON.

Frederick George Manning was brought over from
Jersey yesterday in the South-Western Steam-
packet Company's mail steamer the Despatch, Cap-
tain Childers, which ran into Southampton Docks at
ten minutes past seven o'clock last evening, having
left St. Helier's at eight o'clock yesterday morning.
The last train for the metropolis having left
Southampton at six o'clock, he was brought on to
London by a special engine, to obviate the incon-
venience of detaining the prisoner in that port
through the night.
The special train arrived at Vauxhall station at
ten o'clock precisely ; and a cab being in readiness
the prisoner was placed in it, and conveyed in the
custody of Inspector Haynes and -Sergeant Langley
to the police station at Stone's-end.
The following authentic particulars of the arrest of
Manning in Jersey are given by a reporter, who
accompanied the prisoner from Jersey :
Manning arrived in Southampton about two o'clock on
Wednesday, the 15th ult., and, took up his quarters at
the Oxford Arms Inn, near the railway terminus. Here
he remained the whole afternoon, and at midnight left
for Jersey, by the South-Western Steam-packet Com-
pany's mail ship the Despatch.
During the voyage he appeared on deck very little,
confining himself to the fore cabin, and drinking brandy
immoderately. On reaching Jersey he disembarked, and
in company with a fellow-passenger, named Turk, with
whom he had contrived to scrape acquaintance, walked
into the town of St. Helier's. Arriving at the Navy Ainis
Inn, near the harbour, ho walked into the house, and,
with Mr. Turk, applied for the usual accommodation.
Mrs. Berry, the landlady, happened to have only one
double-bedded room disengaged, and this apartment hav-
ing been offered to the two applicants was accepted—
Manning agrec,ing to pay Be. per week for the rent of
the room. On Thursday Manning went out in company
with Mr. Turk to see the island, as he described it. He
returned home in the evening and partook of tea with
the landlord and landlady,subsequently joining the com-
pany in the parlour, and entering freely into conversa-
tion with all who came into the room. There was a pecu-
liarity about him which was not at all agreeable to the
landlord, and he was even less liked by the company.
He was particularly overbearing in his manner, and fre-
quently got into altercation with the parties to whom he
addressed observations, and with Mr. Turk, the indivi-
vidual who accompanied him to the Navy Arms, among
the rest. On Friday night he was particularly rude to
this person, and some conversation having arisen on the
subject of money, Manning contemptuously addressed
his companion in the following terms:—" Why, --
fellow, I can show more 501. notes than you can so+
reigns." Mr. Turk at once put down all the gold in his
pocket (five or six sovereigns), upon which Manning rote
from his seat and said, " Oh, never mind, old fellow, why
should you and I quarrel?" After which the conversa-
tion dropped. During Saturday Manning went out as
usual, returning in the evening to the Navy Arms, and
on the following morning he asked the landlord where
he could go to church. In the course of the day he
had a great deal of conversation with Mr. Berry,
telling him that he had lost all his money in the
French revolution, and that he must go to Paris to
settle his effairs. He inquired what it would cost to
go across to Granville, the opposite port on the French
coast; and upon' ascertaining that he could go for
about 205., he expressed an intention of doing so, and
begged that Mr. Berry, who we should add is a sea-
faring man, would accompany him as an interpreter.
Mr. Berry declined, and advised Manning, if he wanted
to go to Paris, to return to London and go by the
usual route to that capital, which he seemed to accede to,
desiring to be called in time for the packet leaving
Jersey on the following morning. He was duly roused,
but declined to get up, and Mr. Turk having lett Jersiy
on that day, Manning remained the occupant of the
double-bedded room alone. He seldom dined at hoMe,
but took two or three meals a-day in the house, arid
always ate most voraciously—to use the landlord's oven
words, " As much as any three ordinary men."
On the Sunday evening Manning entered the parlour
of the Bath Hotel, kept by Mr. Seward, one of the mist
respectable hostelries at St. Helier's, and joined in con-
versation with several tradesmen there assemb:ed. The
same overhearing manner which had rendered his
company so disagreeable at the Navy Arms distii-
guished him here. In the course of the evenidg
ho complained bitterly of the difficulty of obtainirig
good living in Jersey, and said he had hid
but one good dinner since he had been on the island,
and that was off a conger eel. He added that be ought
not to feel surprised, for before he left town his brother
elerkhad said to him, " Fred, my boy, you'll find the
Jersey people a cl--r 1 set of humbugs." The super-
cilious tone the fellow adopted in making this observa-
tion was not very gratifying to the persons assembleii,
and one of them, named Purkis, who it will be seen sub-
sequently took an active part in his apprehension, sal.-
castically replied, " I tell you what, sir, you'll find J -
sey a very healthy place, for where there is one die the
are 20 bolt." Manning, still in the same supercilions
tone, rejoined, " What do you mean by ' bolt,' Sir t"
Mr. Purkis told him that in plain English it meant ab-
sconding ; upon which Manning threw himself back in
his chair and laughed heartily. In the course of the
evening a gentleman present having mentioned that he
came from Derby, Manning asked him if he knew the
family of Massey, of Swarkstone, near that place; and
with a singular fatality he went on to explain that the
old gentleman's son had lodged with him in Loudon
while walking the hospitals; that he was a sad dog,
and, suiting the action to the word, he took up his hat,
and said, " Look here; the fellow changed hats with
me before he left my house, and here is his name in
the ono I wear." This conversation, it must be r--
collected, took place before any news of the Ber-
mondsey murder had reached Jersey, although it was
known in London; the newspapers published on Satur-
day (in which the account first appeared) not reaching
Jersey until the Tuesday following. During the re-
mainder of the evening Manning preserved the same
swaggering manner, boasting of his position and descrile•
ing himself as a traveller for a cloth warehouse. One
gentleman, more sceptical than the rest, expressing him-
self doubtful of something that Manning had said, he, in
a domineering tone and manner, pulling at the same time
from his pocket a large card, said " If you are not satis-
fied, here's my card." He, however, took care not to
exhibit the card, and it is not known what name was in-
scribed upon it. While at the Bath Hotel, on this even-
ing, he drank a quantity of brandy and water, and when
the company broke up was rather intoxicated. He had
previously said that he was staying at the Union Hotel,
and when he left the house Mr. John Mullis, who sub-
sequently took part in his apprehension, observing that
ho turned in a wrong direction for the Union, said, "I
beg your pardon, sir, but I think you are going out of
your road." Manning turned round and replied, " I know
perfect well where I have got to go to. Good night." On
the afternoon of the following day he called again at the
Bath Hotel, and asked Mrs. Seward's permission to walk
into the bar parlour. She allowed him to do so, and the
fellow, seating himself in a chair, entered into conversa-
tion with her. The want of tact ho again exhibited
while talking to Mrs. Seward was, it will be seen, most
extraordinary. Had he desired to secure his own ap-
prehension he could scarcely have taken a more likely
course to obtain. lie began by describing himself as a
traveller for Sir R. Burnett's British gin, and spoke in
high terms of Sir Robert's establishment. Mrs. Seward,
knowing that her husband obtained his gin from Sir
Robert Burnett, was naturally surprised at this statement
and she at once told him that Mr. Seward ob-
tained all the gin lie had from Mr. Mann, the agent for
Sir Robert, on the island. Manning, without exhibiting
any alarm at this fact, threw- himself back in his chair.
laughed heartily, and exclaimed, How very strange!
My name is Mann—;" and then stopping short, Mri.
Seward did not catch the last syllable. He remained for
some length of time, spoke of the island as a most de-
lightful place, and said he should bring his dear wife
with hint the next time he came. He also took occasion
to tell Mrs. Seward that his wife was a very fine woman
—that she was passionately fond of him, and that she
always addressed him as her "Dear Fred."
Before leaving Bath Hotel Manning ascertained
that Mr. Seward was in England, but that
he would return on the following morning
(Tuesday). He said he should be glad to make his
ac-
quaintave, and would call the next morning, and or-
dered a grilled fowl for lunch, which Mrs. Seward pro
seised to get ready. On the evening of this day, while
walking in the streets of St. Helier's, Manning met a
gentleman whom he formerly knew at Taunton, and who
is staying in Jersey, passing his honeymoon. The gen-
tleman observed Manning first, and not wishing to re-
cognise him turned his head away before the other saw
him. It is supposed that Manning having remarked his
presence on the island felt; that it would be unsafe to
remain in St. Helier's, and determined to go further in-
land. He kept his appointment, however, at the Bath
Hotel on the following day, arriving about eleven o'clock.
Mr. Parsons, the late clerk of the Hampton racecourse,
with another gentleman, was seated in the room at this
time, and whether Manning recognised his face or not is
uncertain, but after looking into the room he hastily
withdrew, and was seen no, more at the Bath Hotel.

The landlord of the Navy Arms, where he lodged up
to this time, states, that he noticed a remarkable change
in his manner after Monday, and his altered appearance
was also remarked and observed upon by the company
who met him in the parlour on the evening of each day.
On the Sunday afternoon Manning hailed the driver of
the St. Aubin's omnibus in St. Helier's, and taking his
seat on the box rode along the coast in the direction of
St. Lawrence. He talked freely to the driver, a man
named Phillips, during his ride, and remarked on the
beauties of St. Peter's Valley, through which they passed.
On arriving at the hamlet of St. Lawrence he waved his
hand in token of recognition to a gentleman who was
walking by the roadside. The gentleman not recognising
him as a friend failed to acknowledge the salute, upon
which Manning said to the driver, " Is not that gentle-
man's name Ford?" The 'driver replied that it was, and
that be lodged at the Blitish Lion, a small road-side inn
near at hand. Manning hereupon exclaimed, "Dear
me, how very odd; he's a most particular friend of mine,
I knew him most intimately four or five years ago." The
omnibus proceeded on i is journey through the valley,
and on its return broug'at Manning back as far as the
British Lion, where het lighted. On entering the house
L he immediately went up to Mr. Ford, who was seated

near the entrance, and said " Ah, Ford, my dear fellow,
how do you do? lam so glad to see you." Mr. Ford
at once recognised the person who addressed him ail
Manning, and recollected having frequently met him at
the Globe, in South Audley-street, when Manniug's
sister was formerly barmaid, and where she was visited
by her brother. Mr. Ford having shaken hands; Man- .
ning invited himself to dinner, and actually did remain
and dine with Mr. Ford and a widow lady who keeps the
house. During dinner he spoke freely to Mr. Ford,
and appeared quite at ease. After dinner he asked
Mr. Ford if ho understood the French language?
Mr. Ford said .hg did slightly, _upon which Man-
'fling begged that he would accompany him to
France, as ho wanted to go there and arrange several
matters relating to some property. He said he would
pay all expenses, acid be very much obliged to Mr.
Ford if he would go. Mr. Ford declined, and enter-
taining b01:110 suspicions as to Manning's honesty asked
" Are you married, Mr. Manning ?" Manning re-
plied " Yes." Mr. Ford said, " Where is your wife ?"
Manning rejoined, " Oh, she is in London. The fact is
I have 2001. or 300/. to lay out, and I have come over
here to see how I can invest it best. When I have de-
termined upon a- course I shall return to England and
fetch my wife." He added that he was then in treaty
for the purchase of a brewery at St. Heileee. Mr. Ford
asked him whose brewery ? Upon which Manning re-
marked that he was not at libery to give the name at
present. In the course of the afternoon Meaning ex-
pressed a strong desire to see Mr. Ford on the following
day. Mr. Ford said he was engaged on Monday and
Tuesday, and ultimaltely an appointment was made for
the following Wednesday, when X...4"2,2., promised that
he would dine- with nr.-reird letinigs. Ire came
at the hour appointed on that day, hut Mr. Ford not
being at all anxious to renew his acquaintance with his
quondam friend, was not at home, at which Manning
expressed some surprise, and asked whether he had not
left a message for him—. The landlady said he had not ;
and ultimately Manning remained to dinner with this
lady end her daughter, and in the course of an hour or
two lett, as was supposed, for St. Helier's.
Within about 300 yards of the British Lion, on the
same line of road, stands a neat little cottage, over the
door of which are inscribed the words, "Prospect House,"
the windows looking directly into the bay of St. Aubin,
and commanding a view of Queen Elizabeth's castle and
all the picturesque scenery on that part of the coast.
This house is occupied by an aged couple, natives of
Jersey, named Berteau, the old man tilling a little land,
and his wife increasing her store by letting lodgings.
Two rooms in the house are occupied by a carpenter and
his wife, also natives of Jersey, named Wieldon, and
neither of the families speak more than a few words of
English, generally conversing in the Jersey patois. To
this house Manning appears to have gone after leaving
the British Lion on Wednesday, and observing a bill in
the window he inquired what apartments they bad to let.
Mrs. Berteau showed him a large bedroom which he ul-
timately hired at 4s. per week, and he arranged to take
his meals with the wife of the carpenter, who was to
make his bed and wash for him. Having promised to
return the same night he went away.
On arriving at St. Helier's hetnformed the landlord of
the Navy Arms that he should go away on the following
day for a short time to stop with his old friend, Mr.
Ford, at St. Lawrence, but that he should leave his
trunk and probably send for it on Saturday. He begged
at the same time that his bedroom might not be let, and
that the door should be kept locked. On the Thursday
morning he left the Navy Arms at an early hour, and
the landlord heard nothing more of his lodger until in-
quiries were made for him by Langley on the following
Saturday.
The first information the authorities in Jersey received
of the supposed arrival of Manning in that island was
through the following lotto,. addressed by Mr. Uter-
marck, the Crown Prosecutor of Guernsey, to his Ex-
cellency the Lieut, nant-Governor of Jersey, Sir James
Reyn,:tt. This letter was posted et Guernsey on the
221 ult., and received by the Lieutenant-Governor on
the following day. We give the letter, as we consider
great credit is due to Mr. Utermarck for the part he
has taken in the affair:—

" Manor-placP, Guernsey, August 22.
" forwarded by this day's mail to her Majesty's
Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department
the following circumstances, which were communicated
to a constable of this town yesterday, and by him laid
before me for my advice.
You will, probably, deem them of sufficient import-
ance to justify certain inquiries being instituted in the
island of Jersey, and the communication of the result of
such inquiry to the Home-office.
" The London papers which reached this island yes-
terday—l allude more particularly to the Times of Sa-
turday and Monday last—contained accounts of a
dreadful murder at Bermondsey, of which a man named
Manning is suspected.
" The description of this man contained in the Times
of Monday exactly corresponds with the appearance of a
parson calling himself by
.the same name, who lived in
this island for four days in March last, at a respectable
lodging-house.
",The sister of the lodging-house-keeper had seen this
person there, and on the night from Wednesday, the
15th, to Thursday, the 16th of August, she was passen-
ger on board the Despatch steamer from Southampton,
and is convinced that she saw the man Manning passen-
ger on board, and that he did not land at Guernsey, and
therefore must have reached Jersey on Thursday,
the 16th.
" The description of the person, as I have bad it from
the lodging-house keeper (and I have no doubt he is the
same person who lodged in her house in March last as is
suspected of the murder), is a tall stout man, full face,
age 30 to 35, hair straight and lung. with some peculiar
mark or swelling over the eye.
" I trust, Sir, that the very serious nature of the case,
and the disappearance of the suspected person, will jus-
tify my intrusion in thus addressing yeur Excellency.
" I have the honour to be your Excellency's most
obedient, humble servant,
" JOHN DE H. UTESKARCIE,
" Her Majesty's Comptroller.
" To his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, Jersey."
On the same day that Mr. Utermarck wrote from
Guernsey, Mr. Mayne, writing from the office of the
Police Commissioners in London. addressed to the Go-
vernor of the island, Viscount Beresford, the following
note:—

• " Metropolitan Police-office, 4, Whitehall•place,
" August 22.
"My Lord,—The Commissioners of Police of the
metropolis beg to enclose a printed bill of the particulars
of the murder of Mr. Patrick O'Connor, with a descrip-
tion of Frederick George Manning, the supposed mur•
derer, for whose apprehension a reward has been granted.
"The Commissioners have some ground for believing
that he bas gone, or will go, to Jersey, and they beg
that your Lordship will be good enough to have such
steps taken as may be in your power to discover
Frederick George Manning, and, if any information be
obtained, that an immediate communication may be made
to the Commissioners.

" I have the honour to be, my Lord, your most obe
dient servant, " RICHARD MAYNE.

" Viscount Beresford, &c."

This letter being addressed to the Governor officially,
was opened by the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir James
Reynett, who immediately conferred with Sir Thomas
Le Breton, Chief Justice of the island, on the subject,
and he, after consulting with Mr. Dupri, the Attorney-
General, Mr. Hammond, the Solicitor-General, and
Mr. Lo Sueur, the chief constable, placed the
letters in the hands of Mr. Chevalier, the chief
centenier of the police, requesting that he would
adopt the best measures to discover whether the
suspected murderer really was upon the island, and if so
to prevent his escape. Mr. Chevalier, on receipt of the
letters from Mr. Evans, private secretary to Sir Thomas
Le Breton, at once informed that gentleman that he had
already received an intimation of the same kind from
Sergeant Thornton, of the metropolitan police, dated
Southampton, whither that officer had been dispatched to
look for Manning. Mr. Chevalier at once took such
steps as seemed to him best calculated to arrest the mur-
nerer if in Jersey. On the following day he ascertained
that two persons had engaged a small steam-boat to take
them across to St. Malo's, one of whom bore a strong
resemblance to the advertised description of Manning.
Mr. Chevalier watched the parties down to the pier, and
after questioning them, not feeling quite satisfied with a
statement tiny made, to the effect that they were about
to proceed to St. Male's to attend the funeral of a rela-
tive who had died of cholera, ho reested them to
accompany him to the Mayor or chief constable, M.
Le Sueur. Oae of the gentlemen observing a placard
in the hands of Mr. Chevalier, offering a reward for
the apprehension of the murderers of Mr. O'Connor,
asked if he was mistaken for Manning ? Mr. Che-
valier said it really was so, and ho must request
them to accompany him to the Mayor. Although not
at all pleased at the detention, the two gentlemen did
return into the town and went before the Mayor, who,
after hearing their explanation, advised Mr. Chevalier to
allow them to depart. The same evening Mr. Chevalier
received information that Manning had been seen in St.
Helier's by a man named Trenchard, who had known
him formerly at Taunton; and about eight o'clock ho
was further assured of his presence on the island by as-
certaining that the gentleman who had met him on the
Sunday previous had again seen him walking in the
streets of St. Helier's.
On Saturday morning Inspector Langley and Sergeant
Lockyer, two officers of the detective police, to the former
of whom Manning's person was well known, arrived in
Jersey by the Despatch mail steam-packet. Langley
had so closely tracked Manning on his way down, that
he felt perfectly assured if he had not escaped to the
continent he must still be in Jersey. The captain and
steward of the Despatch, from the description given of
his person, felt satisfied that they had brought him over
among their passengers on Wednesday, the 16th ult.;
and their description of the man fully satisfied Langley
that ho was on the right scent. On landing in the
island, he proceeded at once to the police station,
where he had an interview with Mr. Chevalier, and
ascertained all that he had done. Through the in-
formation of Trenchard, in the course of Saturday
it was discovered ,that Manning had dined on Wed-
, nesday at the Old Robin Hood Tavern, in St.
Helier's. Mr. Burnham, the landlord of this tavern,
on being applied to, gave such information as led
to the discovery that Manning had been lodging during
the week previous at the Navy Arms, which, by the
way, it may be mentioned is immediately opposite Mr.
