riIHE DAY OF THAMES'S SHOW.
Asa—" The Bay of Biscay 0."
Loud roared the cannons' thunder,
When princely Albert came ;
The air was rent asunder
With the plaudits to his name.
It was a glorious day,
Ancl one of proud display:
hearts were light—scenes were bright,
On the day of Thames's Show.

Now launched upon the river,
The royal bark appens ;
While smiling thousands give her
A welcome in their cheers.
For lc, in that fair hark,
The royal guests they mark :
Hearts were light—scenes were bright,
On the day of Thames's Show.

The sight was one of beauty,
In which E. M and Son
Proved they had done their duty,
As they have ever done.
Crowds elegantly dressed,
In countless numbers pressed,
To survey, objects gay,
On the day of Thames's Show.

The day In trilmph closes,
And what remains for us,
But to aid the Mart of Moses,
Whose dress attracted thus?
This Mart in sight appears,

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
Yesterday morning, according to the special re-
quest of Frederick George Manning, Mr. Binns, his
solicitor, waited upon him in the condemned cell in
Horsemonger-lane Gaol. The interview took place
in the presence of Mr. Rowe, the chaplain ; Mr.
Keene, the governor ; and two turnkeys. Manning
was in much better spirits yesterday, and as soon as
Mr. Binns entered his cell he shook hands with him
cordially, and thanked him for his kindness. He told
him he was quite prepared to meet his unhappy fate,
and could die happy if his wife would only tell the
truth. He informed Mr. Binns that he took with
him some railway shares to Jersey, which he de-
stroyed in a water-closet before his apprehension, a
description of which he handed him for the benefit of
Mr. O'Connor's family. They will, no doubt, be re-
stored by the companies who issued them. This will
clearly show that the murdered man was possessed
of considerable property in railway shares, which
were useless to any one except the real owner. On
being asked where the crowbar was, he stated that it
could be found at a certain railway station (naming
the place). He directed Mr. Binns to dispose of all
his property, and after paying all demands for legal
expenses, to hand over the surplus to his brother Ed-
mund. Prior to Mr. Binn's leaving him yesterday,
he handed him the following letters, giving him per-
mission to publish them if he pleased :
MANNING TO HIS WIFE.

" I address you as a fellow- sinner and a fellow-
sufferer, and not as my wife, since the contract must
be considered as cancelled, extending as it does only
until death and not beyond it, and both of us standing
as we do, on the brink of eternity. We may already
consider ourselves as cut off from the world. The
consciousness of this truth does not, however, prevent
me from expressing my earnest solicitude for the
happiness of your soul as well as my own. I do,
therefore, beseech and implore of you to be truthful
in all you utter, and that you may not be tempted to
yield to any evil suggestions of the enemy of our
souls' welfare to question for an instant the solemn
truth that we shall shortly appear before our God in
judgment—that His eye is upon us now. The time,
though not, so far as I can learn, precisely fixed, when
we are to be launched into eternity, but we may be
quite sure and certain that it is close at hand. And
now, by all kindly feelings we have at any time en-
tertained towards each other, I earnestly pray that
you will lock to God for the pardon you need, and of
which I feel my own need also, believe me, through
the merits of a crucified Redeemer, being satisfied that
His all sufficient atonement and intercession cannot
benefit us unless we repent and give proofs of that re-
pentance. Believe me, I upbraid you not, but trust you
will be assured that I forgive every one, as I pray and
hope to be forgiven by God ; and now I close, as my
feelings are too acute to write more. May the Lord
be merciful, and mty He be so consistent with Ilis
promises. Let us be truthful and sincere in all we
say and do. This is the last letter you will ever
receive from me. Now let me beg of you to grant
me an interview this day if possible. I have a great
wish to have one before I depart this world.

" FREDERICK G. MANNING."

MARIA. MANNING TO HER HUSBAND.

" I address you as my husband. I am far away
from my happy native land on account of this contract
and this land which you have made to me a captivity.
The peace and well-being of society, the laws of truth,
which you have broken, have alike demanded my
banishment from the country which gave me birth.
But I am not going away from God; He is every-
where alike present, and at all times gracious to
those that seek His mercy and His favour. What
has brought me into this eternal consequence ? If
you live and die unforgiven by God, though those
sins will be. punished by the laws of man, they are
still all registered by the only God. All that I have
to say is this—l never made any statement of any
kind to injure or condemn you in this matter, that you
well know, from first to last. lam here condemned
only by your statement. If it had proved beneficial
to you, I should have been sati-fled. With all your
doings and the great expense of your learned counsel-
lors, that did not benefit you, but plunged me unmer-
cifully with you to this horrid fate. All I have to
beg of you now is to state facts, as you know that I
was not in the house when O'Connor met with his
death ; but I was gone to see for him, and during
that time he called in my absence, and was shot by
that young man from Guernsey who was with you in
the back parlour smoking; but that I did not know
anything about it until the Saturday, and that it was
all settled in the kitchen. I was in hopes you would
have brought that young man forward on the trial,
but that you did not do, but only blame me, as you
did from the first day. But, my dear, as you now
know that you cannot save yourself, I implore of
you to state the facts which are truth, and endeavour
to save your wife. By so doing it would be satis-
faction to your own heart and soul to know that you
are doing right and good towards me before you
depart from this world. The Lord God will forgive
you and comfort you. Believe me, I upbraid you
not, but you will be assured that I forgive
you, and every one, as I pray and hope
I may be forgiven by God. If you comply with
this truly statement, I shall be happy to see you until
the last day. My hope and life is in your hands. You
can, if you will, save me. Remember you cannot
answer for our sins or transgressions when all our
secret sins shall beset in the light of His countenance,
and when the wicked who carelessly lived and miser-
ably died without the fear or favour of God shall
doubtless perish everlastingly. In that day a craven
conscience shall proclaim a failing heart, and an
angry judge shall point to the wicked.
" I humbly look to thee, 0 Lord. Thou hast set
forth as a propitiation for the remission of sins that
are past through Thy forbearance. I cannot write
any longer. God bless you, and have mercy on us
both.

" M. MANNING."
" Received by F. G. Manning on the 30th of
October, 1849." . _

The iollowing statement we have received is in
substance the confessions made by Manning at the
interviews which he has had with his relatives since
sentence of death was pronounced upon him :—He
declared most solemnly that a month before the ac-
tual commission of the crime his wife spoke to him of
her intention to murder O'Connor, in order that she
might become possessed of the large amount of money
which she knew he had. He endeavoured to turn
her thoughti away from the commission of
such a deed, saying she would be hung
for it. She, however, said that she was
determined to shoot him, and that he must help
her to bury him in the kitchen. About this
period she purchased a dozen bottles of brandy, and
though at other times and in the circumstances they
were then living she would have been chary of making
such a purchase, she kept him fully supplied with the
liquor, so that, to use his own words, " during the
whole of this time I was not in my right senses." He
first thought of giving information of his wife's in-
tention to the police, but fear for his wife, who he said
had great mastery over him, or a belief that she would
not carry out her intentions, restrained him from
saying anything about the matter ; but he declares he
repeatedly told her that he would have nothing to do
with it. Nearly about this period O'Connor was in-
vited to stay a Biwa time with born friouas at Bou-

19gne, and she was to meet him there. She said if
the opportunity did not . present itself of doing away
with him in Minver-place, that she would do so when
they were together at Boulogne, adding that it would
never be found out. With the view of accomplishing
her purpose, she purchased a small pair of pistols at
the shop:of Mr. Blanch, a gunmaker, in Gracechurch-
street, who, at her re quest, instructed her how to
load them. In order to be the better prepared for the
disposal of the body, and to destroy any traces of
guilt, she directed him to purchase the crowbar to
raise the stones in the back kitchen, and the lime to
burn the body. Manning declares also that the hole
in which the body was found was dug by Mrs.
Manning with the dust shovel produced at the
trial, a fortnight before the :murder, and that
she carried the earth out by pailfuls, and mixed it
with the ashes in the dust-bin. It was in June, he
says, that the conversation took place with respect to
what would make a person put his name to a cheque
for 500/. O'Connor at the tame was supposed to be a
teetotaller, and Massey, Manning says, suggested that
morphia (which he described as a white powder), if
put into his tea, Would so stupify him as to render
him a ready instrument in their hands. It was,
however, never given to him. It may be remarked
that Manning was then in needy circumstances.
Manning's attentiou was called to the state of O'Con-
nor on the night when Mrs. Manning bathed his
temples with eau de Cologne, in order to ascertain if
he had been drugged ; but he declared that nothing
was given to him, and that he was under the in-
fluence of brandy, which be had taken from fear of
the cholera.

On the night of the murder he says O'Connor
islets Rtk...DttaXgraLfift„ginci Af.ter.M.Shang.id'ciALfea7
hour he came back, his demeanour evincing irresolu-
tion whether to stop or not, thus accounting for his
being seen on London. bridge about five o'clock going
towards the city. He must, therefore, immediately
have changed his mind and gone to Minver- place.
Mrs. Manning pressed him to stay, and he walked
into the parlour and sat down. Immediately
afterwards she said to him, " Come down stairs,
and wash your hands before dinner ;" to which
O'Connor replied, " No, I don't care about it to-
night." "Oh," she said, "you had better do so, as
Miss Massey (who Manning says she knew was not in
town at the time) is comirg, and you know she is a
very particular lady, and you should show yourself
off to the best advantage." He says this was a mere
trick to get him down stairs. He further says he
did not think so at the time, as be had no idea that
in the evening she was about to perpetrate the crime
of murder. He asseverates this most solemnly.
O'Connor did go down stairs to the back kitchen,
Mrs. Manning following closely after him. At this
time Manning was up-stairs' in the front room,
dressing. In a few minutes his wife came up-stairs
and exclaimed, " I have done it—he is dead enough."
Manning says he was dreadfully frightened, and told
her "she was a dead woman, and would be hung for
the murder." She got into a passion with him, and
said he was " a d—d coward ;" and pointing a pistol
at him, which he says was loaded, exclaimed in a
threatening manner, " If you don't come down and
see him, I will serve you the same." He /3.3ked
her how she did it, and what O'Connor said ? and,
after drinking a glass of neat brandy, she ex-
plained that when her victim got to the bottom of the
stairs he said, " What ! hav nt you got this drain
finished yet ?" The next moment she said she pressed
the muzzle of the pistol close to the back of his head
and shot him dead. We may remark that this will
account in some measure for the report of the pistol
not being heard by Manning himself, nor by the
neighbours. After some hesitation, and overpowered
by her menaces, he did go down, and he says he was
horrified to find O'Connor lying on his face, partially
in a stooping posture, his head hanging into the grave
which had been prepared for him, and his hands up
to the sides of his head. Manning, when explaining
this to his brother and sister, to the governor of the
prison, and the chaplain, went down on his kness in
the cell, in order the better to illustrate the position
of the unhappy man. This was ten minutes or a
quarter of an hour after the commission of the mur-
der. Mrs. Manning turned over the body, and
struck him on the head three or four times with the
crowbar, exclaiming, " You d—d old villain, you
ill never deceive me or any one else any more."
Manning then says he ran up stairs ; he was follow( d
shortly afterwards by his wife, who showed him the
keys she had taken from the body. She then took off
her gown—the one produced at the trial, and prove]
to have been rtained with blood, and washed herself,
her hands being smeared with blood. She then went
out, saying that she would be back directly. Not
liking to remain in the house he went into the yard,
and sat on the wall and smoked a pipe, and had a chat
with the neighbours. lie had told her that he would
not stay in the house, but she persuaded him to do so.
When she came back, having been at O'Connor's
lodgings, she had some scrip, some of which she burnt,
fluting it useless; the rest she kept. Manning's
brother asked him at one of the interviews what had
been done with the clothes and the crowbar ; and he
sail that the clothes were burnt, and that she must
have taken the crowbar with her, and, he supposed,
dropped it at one of the railway stations. The next
day she pledged two gold watches belonging to
O'Connor, but he could not tell where. On the
Monday after the murder, when he came home, she
told him that two persons, whom she believed to be
officers in private clothes, had called and inquired for
O'Connor. These persons, it will be recollected,
were Mr. Welch and Mr. Flynn, who stated, in their
evidence, that she trembled and looked so pale that they
asked her if she was ill. Manning told his wife,
who was extremely frightened at these inquiries,
that she had evidently been found out, and
that she would be hung. She then fainted,
but Manning gave her some brandy, which soon
restored her. Afterwards she said she would not stop
any longer, that she would go to America, and that if
she were discovered she would stick out till the
eleventh hour. After some delay she said, " Now
Freddy, you go to Bainbridge's, and endeavour to sell
the furniture. See what arrangements you can make.
Don't be in a hurry, but stop and smoke your pipe.
I'll be there in a couple of hours." He did so, but
as she did not come he went to the house and found
her gone. Being almost penniless, he pawned the
pistols at a pawnbroker's in Bermondsey-street and
afterwards sold the furniture and went away to
Jersey. She got all the money from him which he
obtained at the Bank. He declared he knew nothing
about the Great Western Railway robberies, but im-
plicated Poole and others. He said, Mrs. Manning,
who no doubt was in Poole's confidence, knew some-
thing about them.

Al the conclusion of his last interview with his
brother and sister, he said when they were leaving,
" Mr. Keene, I have to ask you one great favour—
that you will not, for the sake of my family, allow
any one to take a cast of my head, to be exhibited at
Madame Tussaud's."
Mr. Keene assured the unfortunate prisoner, and
also his brother and sister, that if he could prevent
this being done he would do so.

Manning reiterated the assertion that, so help him
God, he had never injured a hair of O'Connor's head,
adding that the statement as given above, was true in
every respect; and if he were to be executed the life
of an innocent man would be taken. All the persons
present, at the request of Manning, knelt down and
engaged in prayer.

Loss or Two LIVES BY FIEE.—On Friday morn-
ing the following melancholy accidents occurred on the
Surrey side of the water, whereby the lives of two fine
children were sacrificed. In the first case it appears
that the deceased, Mary Ann Bentley, aged eight years,
who resided with her parents in Upper Queen•street,
Southampton-street, Camberwell, was left in a room by
herself ironing, and during the absence of her mother
she set her clothes on fire. The flames spread with
great rapidity, and her screams soon roused the other
inmates of the house, who hastened to her assistance.
The poor girl had then reached the lower part of the
premises, where the foot passengers and several of the
lodgers succeedel in extinguishing the flames, but not
before the whole of her dress was burned to a cinder,
and her body, from head to foot, literally roasted. The
unfortunate sufferer was seen by a surgeon, but subse-
quently was convoyed with all speed to Guy's Hospital,
where the resident surgeon immediately applied the beat
remedies, but so complicated were the injuries that she
expired soon after her admission.—The second accident
happened to a child named Ellen Crawley, aged two
year-, of White's•court, Bermondsey-street, Southwark.
From what could be gleaned, it seems that the deceased
was left in an upstairs room in front of a large fire,
while the mother was at a neighbouring public-house,
and whilst she was gone the unfortunate infant rolled or
crawled under the grate, where its garments became
ignited, and before the deceased was discovered she was
nearly burnt to a blackened mass. The child was
wrapped in a blanket and taken to St. Thomas's Hos-
pital, but survived only a short time afterwards. In-
formation of the two deaths have been forwarded to Mr.
W. Payne, the Coroner for the city of London d
an_
Southwark.

STETNING.—C. Goring, Esq., M.P., regaled the whole
