MRS. MANNING.

Yesterday Mr.J. Solomon attended the Southwark
Police Court for the purpose of making an application
with reference to Maria Manning, charged with
being concerned in the murder of Patrick O'Connor.
He produced a document authorising him to act as
solicitor to the accused, with her signature attached,
which he had procured from her that morning in an
interview he had with her in the infirmary of Horse-
monger-lane Gaol. Having exhibited the authority
referred to, Mr. Solomon, then addressing the magis-
trate (Mr. Seeker), said that acting in conformity
with his instructions, he waited on his Worship to
make a request on the behalf of his client to be fur-
niahed with a copy of the depositions of the witnesses
who were examined at that court on Friday last. He
was the more anxious to procure the evidence already
adduced against the prisoner as he was not present on
the occasion, and was therefore not in possession of
the circumstances alleged against her. He was
aware that it was not customary to be fur-
nished with depositions at so early a stage of
the prosecution, but in a case of this description,
where so serious and dreadful a charge was preferred
against a woman in the prisoner's situation, he trusted
that the usual rule might be departed from, and that
his application on her behalf might be acquiesced in.
Air. Solomon added, that when the prisoner was
placed at the bar, on Friday last, it was shortly after
having performed a long journey from Scotland, and
that in the fatigue consequent upon it, together with
the dreadful nature of the accusation preferred against
her, she could not be presumed to have a recollection
of what did transpire on the occasion with respect to
the hearing of the evidence, as applied to herself, and
this it was that made it incumbent on him to apply
for a copy of the depositions already taken down, in
order that she might have an opportunity, through
him, of putting any questions that might be thought
necessary to the witnesses previously examined.
Mr. SECKER said that very little evidence had been
taken as yet at this court against the prisoner ; merely
what was considered sufficient ground upon which to
justify a remand. It was not the rule, certainly, to
furnish the professional adviser of a prisoner with the
depositions at so early a stage of the investigation ;
but, under the peculiar circumstances of the case in
question, he should permit the applicant to have
access to the minutes of the evidence already taken
down, in order to guide him as to his future conduct
of the defer.ca intrusted to his management by the
party accused.

N. Solomon, having expressed his thanks, then
withcirf-w.

Although it appears that Maria Manning has been
placed in the infirmary of the county gaol since her
committal from this court, yet it is not in consequence
of indisposition, for she soon recovered from the
fatigues of the journey from Edinburgh, and is at
present in the enjoyment of her usual health. There
are other persons confined in the same ward with her,
with whom, however, she holds no conversation, and
since her incarceration she has never been heard to
utter a word on the subject of the late murder, nor
has she made the least inquiry about her husband.
She takes her meals regularly (the usual prison al-
lowAnce) and seems in pod spirits, and from her
general appearance and conduct there is nothing in-
dicative of her having been a party concerned in an
atrocious murder such as that so recently perpetrated
in Bermondsey.

Another day has passed without any intelligence
having been received from the officers in pursuit of
:Manning. The Jersey rn>.il boat arrived at South-
ampton last evening, but brought no news from
Langley, who arrived in the island on Saturday
morning. The next mail is looked for with great

anxiety.
Inspector Field and Sergeant Whitchdr, of the
detective force, who went ta the continent in pursuit
of Mrs. Manning, returned to town yesterday. They
a're loud in their praises of the French police, who
rendered them every possible assistance. Within
few hours of their arrival in Paris every lodging-
house and hotel in the capital was examined, all the
railway trains were watched, and every station
within thirty miles of Paris was placed under close
surveillance. Nothing, in fact, could exceed the
readiness of our French neighbours in affording as-
sistance to the officers.

Last evening Mr. Field again left London for
Plymouth, with instructions to board an Australian
emigrant ship, which is expected to arrive off that
port to-morrow.

THE ABERDEEN CATTLE SHOW. - The competi-
tion and sti,,w i,f the Bo) al Northern Agricultural So-
ciety took place on Thursday last on the Links at Aber-
deen. The Aberdeen Herald states that " the number
of entries was not quite so large as on some former oc-
cations, which is p.srtly attributable to a ligering dread
of disease.' and partly to the circumstance, happily
alluded to by Mr. Simpson, of Cobairdy, that parties are
beginning to know better what beasts are likely to get
prizes, and only send forward such as they have reason
to hope may be successful. There was no deficiency of
quality, however. Gentlemen capable of judging, and
who, coming trom a distance, could have no desire to
show partiality, gave it as their candid opinion that the
stock might compete at any show in the kingdom. As
may be imagined, the most prominent feature of the ex-
hibition was the native polled breed of cattle. They
were truly admirable. Of the horned breed, the speci-
mens were neither so numerous nor so striking ; and
there was a considerable falling off in the short-
horns, owing, in 'no slight degree, to the fact
that Captain Barclay—the father of the short horns, as
le has been felicitously called—has ceased to compete.
Breeding stock was rather scarce too; but there was a
capital di-play of crosses of all ages, and the best sorts.
Everybody seemed surprised at the number and quality
of the horses exhibited. This is a department in which
our local shows have hitherto been considerably behind;
but, on the present occasion, there was really a magnifi
cent display. The successful exhibitors have reason to
be proud of the prizes they carried off in the face of such
competition; and those who entered extra stock could
no,. but be gratified with the admiration which their ani-
mals called forth." The Earl of Aberdeen occupied the
chair at the dinner. In the course of the evening the
Noble Earl proposed that they should drink " A hearty
welcome to her Majesty's arrival in Braemar," and stated
that he had reason to know her Majesty was sensibly
and highly gratified with all that she had seen and ex-
perienced in Scotland, and that, in particular, she had
been struck with the considerate attention which had
been paid by ell ranks in respecting her privacy.
Men of the world hold that it is impossible to do a
disinterested action, except from an interested motive;
for the sake of admiration, if for no grosser, more tan-
gible gain. Doubtless they are also convinced that, when
the sun is showering light from the sky, he is only
standing there to be stared at.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

itAILIVAY ACCIDENT.—A collision between a lug-
gage and a passenger train toiik place last Friday even-
ing, the 24th inst., a little after dusk, on the Leicester
and Swannington line. It appears that a train from
London was proceeding at a rapid rate along the
Leicester line, and when near the Swannington branch
the usual signal was attempred to be made, but without
effect. A luggage train coming along the latter lice at
this moment, and no signal being beard, and the dark-
ness of the night rendering it impossible for the man at
the engine to seethe London train, a fearful concussion
took place. The utmost alarm prevailed for a time, and
it
was shortly afterwards discovered that a stoker on
the luggage train was shockingly bruised, in addition to
which several of his ribs were broken. He was conveyed
as quickly as possible to the Leicester Infirmary, where
jhe is slog 1y recovering, A navigator in the same train

oxpoli, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1849.

TUE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
AiCouncil of Ministers was held yesterday morning
to tike into consideration the affairs of Rome. A
dispatch has been received from General OUDINOT
stating that the Cardinals, backed by the Austrian
Minister, set his counsels at defiance, and that " if
they are permitted to go on as they wish the blood in
the streets will be up to the ancles." The Cabinet
has determined to send orders to General OupnvoT
not to permit any execution for political offences to
take Flace while the French army is in occupation of
Rome; but as this determination has been come to
during the absence of M. DE FALLOUK, it is probable
that on his return it may be rescinded, and that Ge-
neral OUDINOT, should he have acted on it, may be
De Ltsseped.
In contradiction to the Constitutionnel the Assens-
blee Nationale, the organ of DE FALLOUX and the
parti-pretre, publishes the following on the subject of
the contemplated change of Ministry :
" We are better informed that the Consiitutionnel
supposes relative to the formation of a new Cabinet.
This joeini,l ecies our leading statement the injustice to
ascribe to them, an indulgence of leisure to the extent
of forgetting the heavy responsibilities imposed by
actual circumstances. We entertain a higher idea of the
pa4iotisaa of our statesmen, and, despite all contradic-
tory surpositions, we maintain the truth of what we
have advenc• d. We will add that the diplomacy of the
old schoul—that is to say, dissimulation—is now alto•
T; thir out or place, and that in frankness alone will be
found true ability."
The objects of the fanatics who compose the parti-
pretre, of which M. DE FALLOUX and Ai. DE MON-
TALEMBERT are the chiefs, and of which M. Louis
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE is the tool, are now openly
avowed. Their objects are the restoration of Popery
and Absolutism, and the destruction of Protestantism
and Constitutionalism all over the world. They are
willing to sacrifice the cause of HENRY V. and of Le-
gitimacy to this object, and to accept as their chief
Louis NAPOLEON, if he will join in a league for the
restoration of Absolutism and Popery in every nation
all over the continent, and in a league
of all the chiefs of the continental nations thus enslaved
to put down Constitutionalism and Protestantism
in England. Louis NAPOLEON'S connexions among
the Young England party render him, as the parti-
pretre think, the man of all others the best calculated
to carry out this project, which, insane as it may seem,
is we know seriously entertained, and which has its fa-
vourers among the aristocracy and lovers of paternal
government in this country. Louis NAPOLEON is, it
would appear, about to strengthen his alliance with
the Emperor NICHOLAS by marriage. A corre-
spondent of the Natioral says—
" Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has demanded and ob-
tained the hand of the clsu4hter of the King of Sweden.
You know that Queen Hortense, mother of Louis Bona-
parte, was the sister of Eugene Beauharnais, and that the
Queen of Sweden, mother of the Princess in question,
was the daughter of the same Eugene Beauharnais; con-
sequently- Louis Bonaparte is cousin-german of the
Queen of Sweden. and, according to English notions, her
uncle. You also know that the Prince of Leuchtenberg,
brother of the Qieen of Sweden, has married a daughter
of Russia. The name of the Princess is Charlotte Eu-
genie Auguste Amelie Albertene, Who was born the 24th
April, 1830."
A young Englishman was taken into custody on
Sunday for preaching in the open air, in the Place
de la Bourse. Trade is becoming more brisk through-
out France. The mills are in full work, both at
Rouen and Mulhausen.

The Democratie Pacifique, the publication of which
was suspended during the state of siege, has re-
appeared.
General CAVAIGNAC has arrived at the Baths of
Bagnens de Luchon, where he is about to take the
waters, and repose himself after the fatigues of the
session.

A letter from Toulouse mentions that M. MAR-
EAST, the last President of the National Assembly,
has arrived in that city, where he is to be present at
the meeting of the Council General, of which he is
a member. M. MARRAST will then proceed to the
Baths of the Pyrenees, to confer with General CA-
VAIGNAC and M. GOUDCHAUX, Minister of Finance
under the Provisional Government.

SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived.
The retirement of Senor MON is likely to damage
the credit of the Government. Several capitalists
who had agreed to advance a loan of several millions
of reels during his administration now hang back;
and Senor BRAVO MURILLO had a long interview with
them on the 21st, for the purpose of endeavouring
to bring them to terms. It was rumoured on the 22d
that the Duke of SOTOMAYOR had accepted the office
of Minister of Finances.

The downfal of Senor AloN is looked upon as the
triumph of the Protectionists, and is considered as
tantamount to the indefinite postponement of the
Tariff Bill.
__

The Glamor Prtblico says that the present suspen-
sion of the Tariff RefSinn Bill has already begun to
produce serious mercantile perturbations. It says—
" Scarcely was the sanction of the Tariff Bill known
is. hen the demand on London for fine cotton goods began,
it being relied on that no difficulty would be opp:lsed to
their introduction. They write to us, particularly from
Cadiz, that various merchants find themselves in great
difficulty by having made large outlays in the purchase
of foreign goods. Trusting in the faith of the Govern-
ment which so resolutely took the initiative in the re-
form, they now lament their credulity."
The Herald°, however, declares that " the spirit of
the Tariff law is placed beyond discussion," and that
" the Government, as now constituted, will develop
it according as it had conceived it, and in accord
with the principles which it has professed," notwith-
standing the retirement of Senor Mos/.
The same journal states that LOLA MoNTEs has
arrived in Spain.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The war does not seem so near a conclusion as the
favourers of the Imperialists had flattered themselves
when they heard of the surrender of GEORGEY.
KLAPKA has refused to follow his example, and on
the 18th he sallied from Comorn and attacked and
defeated the Austrians, with great loss. The com-
munications between Pesth and Vienna still remain
interrupted, a proof that the armies of AULICII and
KLAPKA will not follow the example of GEORGEY.
It was reported in Vienna on the 22d that KOSSUTH
and BEM had been arrested in IVallacbia.
