the cabman. As soon as the police authorities in
S._:otand-yard heard that Manning had been recog-
nised on board the steamer to the Channel Islands,
thoy dispatched Langley thither in quest of him.
Soon after landing, the officer had any doubt he
might entertain of not being un 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 ascer-
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
he 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 for warding 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 answer the description
of the person charged with the murder of O'Connor,
as printed and circulated by the police authorities.
liaving 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.

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 be himself (Manning) bad 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 OIF TILE CAPTURE OF HER

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
became

symptoms only lasted for a few seconds, and she
ce n t .
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
saner, 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
heing 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.

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-
