national'air—what to them is their ." God save the
Queen,"—and I have heard these two thousand,
with belts upon them and muskets by their side, sing
in the courts and under the walls of the Vatican,
the hymn of liberty. It was a strange sight to see,
sir ; and I have not a doubt but that these men
have as sincere a passion for a wise self-govern-
ment as any two thousand men who could be called
up from the most favoured sections of Liverpool or
Manchester, to be the national guard of those towns.
—(Loud applause.) There is that about them which
would surprise many Englishmen. There is an ap-
pearance of intelligence, and an air of educated self-
reliance about them, which one is delighted to look
upon. And so they stood, beneath the deep blue of
an Italian sky, the rich golden light of an Italian
sunset setting upon them, and their wives and their
betrothed ones, and their sisters and their children,
all, as they sang, joining in the exultation. Sir, I have
thought since that time of the mangled bodies of many
of these citizens, fallen by French bullets and French
bayonets—(" Shame, shame")—and I have gone home
to the place where these men dwelt, and pictured to
my mind the widowhood and orphanage, and the
bereft feeling approaching almost to madness, and as
I have done this I have been ready to say, " Oh,
France" —[ The Rev. Doctor here stopped, and after
a pause said]—but perhaps I had better not say it.
This, however, I will say, I would rather see this
good ship of ours, that we call " Old England," go
down next hour beneath the waves of the sea, and
have my place upon her deck, to disappear with her
for ever, than see her riding out the boisterous
element as she has hitherto done, to contract a
blot upon her escutcheon like that which stains the
shield of France.—(The meeting here rose, and con-
tinued cheering and waving of hats for some time.)
There is a hope, sir, in a response like that.—(Re-
newed cheering.) I don't bate—and I am glad to
see that you do not bate—a jot of heart and hope,
notwithstanding the cloud that may be rolling about
us. I believe that Hungary canna become a depen-
dent of Russia. I believe that Italy never can be
ruled as it has been ruled of late, and that we have
only to be faithful to our vocation as the professed
friends of freemen, to take our place as we ought, on
its behalf, checking its vice with a fidelity that we
have a right to exercise, but strengthening its virtues
with all the might we can. In fact, we have only to
attend to the mission that appertains to us, as men of
a country that is known in connexion with the names
of Eliz tbeth and Cromwell—(Cheers)—with the
names of Alfred and Hampden, of Russell and of
Sydney; we have only to catch the mantle which
these departed ones have left to us, and still our coun-
try will discharge her trust and her great leadership
as the champion for right against might—the cham-
pion of good against evil, and of the oppressed against
the oppressor."—(The whole assemblage here rose, and
their enthusiastic and tumultuous cheering and
waving of hats continued for some time.)

THE MURDER AT BERMONDSEY.

The following are the only additional particulars
which we can communicate respecting this exciting
event. Officers belonging to the detective force have
been sent to France and Germany in pursuit of Man-
ning and his w ife, the former having been traced to
the South 'Western, and the latter to the South
Eastern Railway stations.

The female has further been traced as far as Syden-
ham, where on Tuesday night last she was inquiring
for lodgings; but beyond this all trace of either hus-
band or wife is lost.

It is said that the murder could not have been per-
petrated upon the 9th, as was at first supposed, be-
cause the deceased was on the 11th in, the City, and
as it is rumoured, received some money. The utmost
exertions are being made by the police to capture the
murderers.

Shortly after eight o'clock last night information
was give❑ at the various metropolitan police stations
that Manning hail, on Saturday, the II th instant,
cashed a 501. cheque, drawn by the deceased O'Connor
on the Bank of England, where he kept an account,
and for which Manning received five 101. Bank of
England notes, the numbers of which arc 67,372,
67,373, 67,374, 67,375, and 67,376, dated 11th of
June, 1849. A notice to this effect was at once
issued, which also cautioned the public against chang-
ing the above mentioned notes, and requesting that,
should they be presented, immediate information might
be given at the Metropolitan Police Office, Great
Scotland-yard.

SOUTHAMPTON, ELEVEN P.M., MONDAY. - Two
London detective officers, Langley and another, who
had come down last Saturday, went out early this
morning to signalize the Victoria, which hove in sight
at seven o'clock, A.M., but shortly returned, stating
that the signal given to her to heave too was for some
reason either disregarded or not seen, and she pro-
ceeded on her destination. At four o'clock a tele-
graphic message from Mr. Inspector Haynes, of the
London detective force was received by Langley, to
the effect that immediate pursuit was necessary to
board the Victoria. Langley, it appears, had been
sent down by the Commissioners of Police in conse-
quence of having a perfect knowledge of both the
parties suspected of the murder, he having had them
under his surveillance, on suspicion of being connected
with the mail robberies on the Great Western Rail•
way, in January last; and when he found by the
telegraphic dispatch that from the information which
had been received in London there was no doubt that
one if not both of the suspected parties were on board,
he immediately communicated with the authorities of
the dockyard, and the, admiral forthwith ordered the
Fire Queen, Government steamer, to get up her steam
and proceed in chase of the Victoria. At ten o'clock
Langley and another officer went on board the Fire
Queen, and she immediately steamed out to sea.

THE EXPLOSION at the LETTLY

SHENKIN COLLIERY.

ABERDARE, SUNDAY.—The inquiry opened on
Friday concerning the recent fearful loss of life at
the Lettly Shenk!n Colliery, was continued yesterday
till a late hour in the evening at the Town-hall.
David Evans, a collier, was called and examined—
I have worked at the Letly Shenkin Colliery about
eleven months. I was there on Friday, the day of
the explosion, cutting coal for the flue (furnace). It
was between three and four o'clock in the afternoon.
I both heard and felt the shock, as it knocked me
down over a barrow, which I was wheeling out.
There was no gas that I could detect where I worked.
Having got up, I went towards the flue, and before I
could draw the fire out, I fell down with other men
insensible from the effects of the after damp. This
was at the bottom of the ipit. About ten minutes
previously he received a message from David Thomas
to put out the fire. This occupied about half an hour
to do it effectually. Cannot say what was the cause
of the accident.

- Jonah Davis was next examined—ls a collier, and
on the day of the accident worked in the furthermost
dip in the lower level. I was in the stall crossing a
tram when I heard the explosion. I put out my can-
dle and then went on towards the pit's mouth, but
returned in consequence of the great heat. I went
back along the level, and sat down by Thomas Phil-
lips. I met all who worked in the dip, and some went
down the lower level to escape; they perished. I
blew out my candle immediately after the explosion,
lest the gas should reach it. The other men's candles
were out—they all went out together. Never heard
of any fatal accident in this pit.
John Morgan examined—At the time of the ex-
plosion I was at work in my stall. Immediately I
heard it I put out my light. In going along the
level, I saw two or three of the men, and spoke to
them. I went with William Williams, and kept with
him until I became insensible from the effects of the •
damp. I recollect nothing more that then transpired,
and I presume that I was carried out by the men who
came down the pit. There

REPRESENTATION OF THB WESTERN DIVISION OF
THE COUNTY OF SURREY.—MT. W. J. Evelyn, of
Wotton, has come forward as a candidate, upon the
Conservative interest, to represent this county.
A kyloe, the property of the Earl of Durham, was
killed by the electric fluid, at Langley Moor, Lan-
chaster, last week. The same neighbourhood was again
visited by a storm of thunder and lightning, on Sunday
last, when five people, consisting of George Walton, hind
to Mr. Richard Crofton of White Hall, near Chester-
le-street ; his wife, Mr. George Bolam, of Maiden Law,
and two of his grandchildren, were all struck down by
the electric fluid. They were conversing together in a
lane near Grce:,cruft Tower, and are all, with the
