The Bermoxdsei Murder. On Monday Another...
THE BERMOXDSEI MURDER . On Monday another important link to the evidence connecting the Mannings with the murder of _Cf Connor was discovered . ' '" Itwas well known that on Saturday the Ilth of August Mrs . Manning hired a female to clean thc _lowe * r _; part of the house , No . 3 ; Minver-place ; but _altmiulb every exertion- has heen made b y the police to discover the party they were unable until Monday , when Burton , after con-Eiderable difficulty ascertained that a young girl was in the habit of attending several of the houses in
the vici p ity for tho purpose of washing the steps , and assisting the servants . He also heard from a neighbour that she was seen to enter Manning ' s at an early hour on Saturday morning . He accordingly made active inquiries about her , and succeeded in-finding her residing with her relations in Bermondsey . Her name is Harriet Fermer , and she informed the authorities that about nine o ' clock on Saturday morning , ihe 11 th of August , Mrs . Manning called her into No . 3 , Minver-place , and engaged her to clean thc house . She cleaned the upper part , and found several spots like blood on the wall ofthe passage leading to the kitchen , which she endeavoured to wash off . After she had cleaned
tbat portion of the place she proceeded to the back kitchen , and waa about to clean it , when Mrs . Manning came up to her and pulled her away , exclaiming , "I cleaned this place yesterday , and it don ' t want ; scrubbing any more . " The girl says she saw a square basket inthe back kitchen , covered with lime , which Mrs . Manning told her to wash . While she was performing that office she found tbat there was not water sufficient , consequently she left it as discovered hy Burton . - During the time she was in the house that day Mrs . Manning went out two or three tunes , and about twelve o ' clock at noon Manning came down stairs , and stamped his foot
violently as if m a passion . He oalled out to his ¦ wife , " Give it me directly , " and she went upstairs , and- she could not tell what afterwards passed . Manning remained in tbe house while bis wife _retuniea to the back kitchen and fried some beefsteaks for dinner . The girl said that the back Mtehen was extremely wet , and the Stones in the hack kitchen appeared to have been recently rubbed with a brick or stone . She also found that the dusthole was full of mould , dirt , and some mortar mixed with it . The girl was taken to the Home-office by the police , to make her statement to the solicitor of the Treasury . Her evidence will be given on Saturday _, the next examination .
- The cholera has suddenly attacked acme ofthe witnesses since the last examination . Mr . Bassett , clerk to Messrs . _Killick and Co ., sharebrokers , Bank-buildings , to whom Manning disposed of O'Connor ' s Eastern Counties shares , was suddenly attacked on Friday night with cholera , and expired On Saturday morning . His corpse was interred on Sunday . Mr . Hammond was also attacked on Sunday , and is not expected to live . -Both gentlemen _werem good health and spirits on Friday , the 7 fch inst ,, when at tbe police court . It has been ascertained when O'Connor left his lodgings on the morning of the Oth of August he had nearly a new suit of clothes on , a valuable watch and chain , and a considerable sum in hia possession . Although every search has been made
ibr the murdered man ' s clothing by the police in the house , No . ' _S , Minver-place , and in . the prisoner ' s boxes , no portion of them could be discovered . It was clear ihey had not been burned , as no ashes of linen or cloth were seen among the dirt , consequently the police have made active inquiries among the clothes dealers , and on Tuesday they ascertained that a man fully answering the description of Manning offered several articles of clothing- of a superior description for sale to several dealers in Petticoat-lane on the Monday after the murder . The police are now making very active inquiries about the clothes , and from information received there is every reason to suppose that they will be found , and that the purchaser will come forward and identify Manning as the party who sold them . ¦
¦¦ ¦ * FUETHEB FABTICULAHS . _Dnriajf the last few- days Inspector Yates and Burton have discovered some important additional _eridencewspectingthemurderof Patrick O'Connor . On the last examination , of thc prisoners a bricklayer ' s lad wa 3 called to prove the selling of the lime to Manning , and on being pressed he said that he could not positively swear that he was the man . Burton ascertained on Friday that the daughter of Mr . Wells , the bricklayer , was in the countinghouse when Manning entered that-place in an impudent manner to write his name and address for the lad to carry the lime . She took particular notice of the man , from the manner in which he conducted himself ; and she informed Burton that she was confident she could identify him again . Li Gonsequenceoftbat Inspector Yatesobfcainedah order
¦ from Mr . Seeker for her to visit the prisoner , when . thc prisoner was placed among twenty others in one of the yards . Sheinstantly pointed him oufc as the party who purchased the lime ; her evidence , therefore , willbeconclusiveontbatpoinfc . H . Fer mar . tlie girl who washed thehonsefor Mrs . Manning on the Saturday after the murder , also visited the prison , and identified her among other female _prioners as the person who employed her . The . prisoners will be brought from the gaol , to tbe Southwark police court , afc three o ' clock this afternoon , andafter the additional evidence has been taken , they trill be remanded until a week before the October sessions of the Central Criminal Court , when ah the depositions of the witnesses will be read over to them , and they toll he fully committed for trial . .

There was the average number of prisoners for trial viz ., SO , including four cases of misdemeanour . On tbe list of jurors being called over , a number of excuses were made on behalf of persons who had been summoned to attend , but who were unable to do so in consequence of being attacked by the prevailing epidemic . One of the overseers of the poor for the parish of St . Luke ' s was summoned , hut on his mentioning to the court that at the present time his parochial duties were very onerous , and his time almost entirely occupied , on account of the cholera , the learned chairman directed tliat his services as juror should be dispensed with .

He replied that he did not know , but that answer did not satisfy the officer , who asked him where ho bad got the print from . The prisoner , thereupon , told the usual thief s story—that he had been employed to carry it by a man who had promised him sixpence for his trouble . Of course he did not
know the man , or who or where hc was , nor could he tell where he was to carry it to ; so the officer took him to the station house , where information had already arrived that a quantity of print had been stolen from Mr .

On the day named in tbe indictment he observed the prisoner walk up to the case and knock away a small p iece of wood which had been placed over an aperture inthe g lass , made on the preceding day by somebody who . managed to get a couple of rings through it without observation . The prisoner then walked on a short-distance , and in a few minutes he again appeared at the case , and leaning forward he pretended to be attentively looking at the articles it contained . The prosecutor distinctly observed him take a piece of wire , hooked atthe end , out of his jacket sleeve , pass it through the broken square , and pull out a gold ring . The prosecutor jumped across the counter and seized the prisoner as he
was walking off , but not before the latter had effectually disposed of the ring , for it had not been found . The prisoner resisted—fought , and bit the prosecutor , and succeeded ia twisting himself out of Ms grasp , but he was again captured , and very shortly afterwards he " was safely lodged at the police station . The wire was found close by the case . —The prisonerhad nothing tosayin his defence , andthe jury found him " Guilty . "—Sentenced to three months' hard labour .

The Charge Of.Bigamy Against. Lua -V ; *...
THE CHARGE OF . BIGAMY AGAINST . _lua _-V * , l 0 LAKONTES . ' MAn _tBORdDGH-siiiEET . —Tho court and the spacebefore it were densely-crowded , m anticipation of tho _anncarance _oftte Countess of Landsfeldfc ( Lola _xrnntP-i _* ) in person , to meet the charge against her r _flwrfi- illegally intermarried with Mr . Heald , she not Sg been fully divorced from her first hushand ' Ca ptain James . At about a quarter past two o clock Mr . Clarkson who is retained for the prosecution , entered the court , bufc ho one on tho part oftho defendant was there professionally to meet him . Mr Clarkson , addressing Mr . Hardwick , said he was there as the legal representavive of Miss Heald ; in the expectation , according to thc nature of the communication recently made to him , that thc
Countess of Landsfelat , Mrs , James , or by whatever name the lady might be known , would bc in attendance in that court to meet the charge against her . The lady , he understood , had arrived in town on Friday last , for the purpose of protecting hor bail _, he was now prepared to advance the evidence he had already offered one -stage further against tbe Countess of Landsfcldt , and no thought it but fair to state that he was now in a situation to show , instead of six weeks from the time tho last marriage was contracted Captain James was alive in India , that Captain James was alive within six days bf tbat period . - He was also in a condition to establish , by the evidence of a copy of the register of the first marriage in Ireland , the fact of the marriage with
Captain James . Ifc had however , been intimated to him , that no opposition would be made to the appearance ofthe Countess of Landsfeldt at that court on Wednesday next ; but whefchor ifc was on account ofthe thronged appearance which thc court and its approaches now presented , , or whether it was to avoid farther publicity , it was clear that neither the Countess of Landsfeldt nor her representative was in attendance to meet the charge . The recognizances expired that day , and he bogged ifc might be clearly understood he waB there to call for the enforcement ofthe recognizances , the object of that enforcement being to have the appearance in court of the party accused . If , however , the bench thought ifc right to extend a further indulgence to
tbe bail , he should ofier no objection . Mr . Hardwick inquired if any ono were present on the partof the defendant to ask for a further respite of the recognizances ? Mr : Clarkson said he understood the solicitor of Mr . Heald was present . The solicitor camo forward , and said , though he was not acting forthe Countess of Landsfelat , he was able to say that the arrival of the Countess in town last week had not been expected ; that her legal adviser was out of town atthe time ; and tha . t the arrangement for a postponemenfcuntii Wednesday had been made on a sudden . After some further consideration the case waB adjourned until Wednesday . * _Wepsesdat . —At two o ' clock precisely Mr .
Clarkson entered the office and said he had received information of what he had , already had some reason to believe—namely , that the person called Mrs . James , -who was charged at tne instance of Miss Heald with the felonious oflence of bigamy , wonld not appear tbat day , and did nofc intend to appear . The magistrate had been kind enough to inform him that he had received an intimation to that effeet from Mrs . James ' s solicitor . It therefore became his { Mr . * Clarkson ' s ) unplcasing duty to apply to the magistrate to estreat the recognisances . He wished , however , to say one word more , in consequence of a rumour that these proceedings wore instituted on the part of Miss Heald , not substantially but with a view , which , indeed , was rather confirmed by the arrival of Mrs . James on Friday last under tho pretence of undergoing examination , of effecting a compromise . On the . part .-of the sister ofthe father of this deluded young man , he
beeged to say there was no foundation whatever for such rumour , and his first proof that there was hot might be seen , in the fact , - of his now praying that the bail mig ht be estreated . Miss Heald had been , from the commencement , and still was , actuated by the purest motives—motives , which he Was sure would be sanctioned by the magistrate and . by ever j person of proper feeling , that of . rescuing the . son of her beloved brother from a marriage which , was equally illegal and disgraceful ; and if she wished hereafter to enforce proceedings which would have the effect of breaking it when further information from India should arrive bringing the intelligence that Mr ;* James was alive when the marriage took place , the magistrate , and he ( Mr . ' Clarkson ) , and all persons of good feeling ,. must _a'ejoice * if Miss Heald should succeed in rescuing this young man from the fangs of this woman . It only remained for him to call upon the magistrate-to estreat the
recognisances . _.-.-. - . . ..... . - . * Mr . - Haud wick . —Under these circumstances ; I order the recognisances to be estreated . , Lohg before Mr . Clarkson arrived it was - reported that Lola _Montes and Mr ' . ' _Heald had left London for Paris on Sunday last . _** ¦

While so following them , Murphy mado use y « S violent threats to him for interfering , but he Stinucd with them until they met a policeman named Scott , belonging to tne M division with whom he was acquainted , --and to whom he had mentioned the whole of tho circumstances of We prosecutor having a bag of gold _ib his possession , and his suspicion that Murphy intended to _rtb him , and adding that if the gontleman was robbed , after what he had ' stated , it would be his ( Scott s ) fault , left the prosecutor in thc hands of that person . Since that time he read an account ofthe robbery and the examination of the prisoner on the charge afc this court in the newspapers , and having little doubt the parties were the same , - he * felt it to be his
duty to como forward as a witness . —Mr . Norton observed that tho witness had acted a very proper part in the matter , and if the polico-constablo ( Scott ) nad only performed his duty with equal propriety , the robbery might have been prevented . The case was one which required the tact and vigilance of one ofthe " detectives" to bring forward the necessary testimony to . eomplete it , and he should , therefore , remand the prisoners tb another day , in order that an experienced officer might be employed in the case . The magistrate directed that the landlord oftho Waterman's Arms , and also the constable Scott , should be in attendance at the next examination . —The prisoners were accordingly remanded , and bail for their appearance refused .
CLERKENWELL . — Impudent Swindling . * - William Grindley , a young man , who said he _ was tho son of Captain Grindley , of the 40 th Light Infantry , was charged by Mr . Isaac Jacobson , jeweller ; of Oxford-street , with sfcealihga valuable dressing-case . —On Monday morning , * about a quarter to ten o ' clock , the prisoner entered the shop of the prosecutor , and requested the shopman to show him a dressing-case . He produced several , winch tne prisoner carefully inspected jwhen he . said they were too inferior iu quality . The _^ hopman'then told him that he had some silver _drCssing-cases , and produced oho ; on examining whibh ,. the prisoner said ifc would exactly ' suit , representing that ho ' was a dealer , and h « v- _!\« _n-i--r in * is _tofihtiw it to a _uentleman on
approval . The prisoner , said that the gentleman resided at North Bank ,, and willingly assented to the shopman going with him . They crossed the Regents Park together , until * thcy arrived at North Bank , where a board was stuck up' at 35 , North Bank , with art inscription that tho house was P to let . ' The prisoner then told the shopman that the gentleman who had deputed , him to procure him the dressing-case was going to the continent , and was about to let the house , and requested him ( tho shopman ) to let him have the desk to show and to waif outside , whilst he ( prisoner ) took it in to show- the gentleman . The shopman unsuspectingly parted with the dressing-case , and the prisoner rang ; the bell , and the door having been opened by a female
servant , he entered with the property . The shopman waited for a short timo , and on . peeping- into the parlour window , he found the place destitute of furniture : and , his suspicion being , aroused , he rang thc bell , which was answered , by an elderly woman , and , on making inquiries , ' was informed that the man had entered ' the house to request permission to get over the wall at the _bacEpavt ofthe house , saying thai he had lost a key belonging fo a desk which ho had in his possession . . Witness saw no move , ' ofthe prisoner bv the propertyuntil- he was in custody . On the same forenoon ; betwe ' _eitfeleven and twelve o ' clock , the prisoner offeved . the"deskin pledge afc Mr .

Conibe , however , remanded him until the pawnbroker and other necessary evidence could be produced ; and , on being placed at the bar on Tuesday , ho affected to be very much perturbed in mind , paced the bar backwards and forwards , bellowing loudly , whilst holding his handkerchief to his eyes and his hand on the top of his head . —Henry Hail , 264 S , said , he had made _inouiries about the prisoner , and
ascertained that he had been twice ' convicted of felony . —Mr . Combe told the prisoner , that all his acting and bellowing nonsense would nofc suit there ; it was all assumed stuff . _*—Prisonev : I know I am guilty . I havo acted dishonourably , and disgraced myself . May I send for my friends?—Mr Combo : You would nofc send for your friends on Monday . You then claimed acquaintanceship with Colonel Chestertor , of the House of Correction , saying your _, father was with him in the' 43 d Light Infantry . You may now send to your friend Colonel Chesterton , if you . like , and also to Lieutenant Tracey , of Tothillfields . —Prisoner : I can assure your- worship that what Ihavc said is true . 1 have been on friendly terms with Colonel Chesterton . I have visited and
dined with him in tho prison , and was on a visit to him at the time that Medhurst , the murderer of his schoolfellow , was confined in the Ilouse of Correction ; but I was never in tho prison as a convict-. —Mr . Combe : You may say what you like , bufc I shall nofc believe you after the many lies you told meon Monday . —Prisoner : If I did tell lies on Monday it was only to clear myself of the charge against me .

_SOL ) THWARK .--Fbaod on the Brighton Railway _Comi-any . —Mr . Henry Leeks , chief-clerk at the booking office of the London bridge terminus ofthe Brighton railway , was brought before Mr .- Seeker , fov final examination charged with committing an extensive system of fraud and embezzlement on tho directors and company of the Brighton Railway . — Ifc appeared from the evidence that tho prisoner had been some time employed asa clerk by the Railway Company , and on account of his good conduct Ue was promoted about six months ago to tho situation of chief-clerk in tho London booking-office , when tho most implicit confidence was reposed in him . He had two clerks under him whose duty was to issue tickets to first and second class passengers by the Brighton trains , and account to the prisoner who received all cash from them and handed it daily to tho accountant of tho company . The prisoner occasionally issued tickets himself ; and on
Sunday , thirty-one second class tickets were missed from the drawer , and no account being rendered of them , suspicion naturall y attached to the prisoner , and on the . following day ( Monday ) the tickets were found to be correct ; but on examining them marks were discovered on thirty-one , which clearly showed that they had been issued . An inquiry wajs immediately commenced , which resulted in the prisoner , a guard named Springett , and Cheeseman , the chief ticket collector at Brighton , being taken mto custod y , and charged before the _magisU-ates of Brighton with the offence . An investi gation took place , which resulted in * the two latter being discharged , and thepvisoner was sont to Londonfthat the case mighfcundergo aninvesti gafcion at this court . The prisoner ' s office was entirely under his control and itwas his duty , as well as the clerks ' totakfl tickets from tho slides . Tho latter wte ' _slhed fromthe drawer underneath , and _weiXed

consecutively , and oug ht not _to-Hbe issued until the slides were empty , when a report ought tobe made of the circumstance . The slides were known to bo full on tho days in question , which left no necessity for interfering with the drawer ; but the company having some suspipion that tickets had been fraudulently issued , led to the . drawer in question being examined . The tickets were alleged to be sold by the prisoner , who acted in . concert with the ticket collector at Brighton . That officer , instead of sending them inthe usual -way into the audit-office , handed them to the guard , who brought them to London and transferred them to the prisoner . Not being marked with a strong impression , the latter partially erased tho mark and replaced them in his _-Jr-Ms-M * for the ournose of issuing tbem again , not . ... ,
suspecting that his system of fraud was discovered . —Jlr . Weathcrhead , superintendent at the Londonbridge terminus , produced the tickets , which had evidently been marked and issued . He also produced the slides holding the tickets , and the drawer . The slides would contain more than a hundred tickets—sufficient for any common train . Had 1 the prisoner taken any from ' tlie drawer it would have been his duty to report that fact to the accountant in thc regular way . —Mr . Edward _BlundelJ , one of the clerks in the prisoner ' s office , said that he saw the prisoner issue tickets for the seven o clock _Brighton train on tho 1 st insfc . The prisoner issued the first and second class tickets , but he had no full
rhrlifctogo to the drawer , as the slides were . The tickets now produced had evidently been issued , from the marks thereon . - Mr . Slight , tho accountant to the company , stated that there _were three clerks in the b _^ oking-office-the prisoner , Mr . Blundell , and Mr . Francis . The prisoner had the command over them , and it was his duty to keep account of tho tickets and cash , and collect the latter twice a day , and hand it over to witness . The prisoner certified to the other clerks that the accounts were correct .-Mf . Clarkson inquired how the tickets were disposed of after they were used?—Witness replied tbat the collector returned them into the audit-office , when they were examined bhim . They were sent in every
moray _ingi The drawer in which the extra tickets were kept was locked , and the prisoner always kept the keys when the oflice was closed . Any fraud of the present description must have been committed by other parties acting in collision , as it would be impossible for one person to commit ' such acts , — Mr . Clarkson said he had no further evidence to offer , and as there was quito sufficient to send the case before , ajury _. ' he should ask for a committal . — Mr . Seeker said that he should commit the prisonor for trial , hut he bad . np _objection to take bail for his appearaticc at the Old Bailey Sessions . He should , however , require twenty-four hours' notice of the proposed : sureties . The prisoner , was then committed for trial . -
WORSHIP _STREET-.--Forged Notes . — William Harris , a tall and rather respectable-looking young man , was placed at . the bar before Mr . Arnold _updnla charge of uttering aforged £ o banknote . —Mr . Vann , a solicitor , attended for the prisoner . ' The note in question was produced stamped with the word " forged . " ' _- . It had been paid into the Bank from Mr . Johnson , _a-flour factor , who had received it from Mr . Bennett , a . baker in the Kingsland-road , whoso daughter -had given change for it to the servant of Mr . Smith ?

The Nottingham Silk Glove Branch. Tho Fo...
THE NOTTINGHAM SILK GLOVE BRANCH . Tho following handbill has been extensively circulated in * and around Nottingham : — TO THE MANUFACTURERS , AGENTS WORKMEN AND OTHERS CONNECTED _WITn TUE GLOVE BRANCH . Gentlemen and Fellow-Workmen , —It is with great reluctance we impose upon ourselves the disagreeable task of publishing this bill ; bufc ifc is not ouv object to injure the character of any one , it is not for a vain display , nor is it to create an unno ' - cessary sensation ; ifc is a work of necessity , for the vindication of our own character and proceedings , and fov an exposition of some of the unjust impositions which so frequentlv have been , and , in somo cases , still are , practised upon us . .
Ifc was found , a short time sinco , that tho firm of I ., I ; , and I . Wilson were not paying the same price for the workmanship of their plain silk gloves , as other firms were , and are bow , paying ; this led tho trade to make further inquiries , when they were surprised and grieved to discover thatthe workmen of Messrs . Wilson were receiving as much as forty per cent , less than the workmen employed by other firms . * * * * AVhen the facts had been ascertained , a deputation of workmen were appointed towait upon Messrs . Wilson to lay the case before them , and solicit them to act in accordance with , and pay thc same prices as , the trade generall y ; but the deputation was very uncourteousl y received , many unpleasant reflections wero cast upon them , and thoy were finally told , "they had nothing to do with the case , and that Messrs . Wilson wouldnofccondescend to have anything to say to . thein on thc subject "
. Now , ono great object oftho United Glove Trade is , that all workmen receive the same remuneration for the samo amount of labour and quality of workmanship , thus enabling all manufacturers ( so far as we are concerned , ) to take their goods into tho mar ket on the same terms , and destroy tbat unjust and injurious spirit of competition which has existed and which has brought many honest and industrious workmen to a state of tho deepest destitution and suffering ; hence , it will be evident that had Messrs
, Wilson s hands continued to work ifc would have inflicted a serious mjuyy on the wholo body of workmen in the trade , as their wages must inevitably havo been reduced in consequence . We have therefore , been compelled , though quite contrary to our inclination , and , as our only resource , whiledenied tho protection for our labour wc ou < - _* h fc to enjoy , to take theso hands on strike , and support them from the contributions of their brethren who are now employed .
The social condition and domestic happiness , ' it wnll bo seen by every thinking ' man is materially affected and injured by such arbitrary and uniust conduct on the part , of manufacturers , and such repeated attempts afc reduction of wages . The effect upon the physical and moral powers has been often exemplified in the caso of thoso who have been driven to a state of listlessnoss and despair , who have become useless members of society , and have gradually sank into -untimel y graves ; and those who , not being able to earn an honest livelihood , have to the
yielded influence of an evil genius , and have lived by fraud and preying upon their fellow creatures , till prcmaturo death or the hulks have brought them to an end of thoir career . What religious improvement can wo expect when we seo sonic manufacturers , who are honoured members of Christian churchos , daily showing , by their actions , that thoy disbelieve thc groat truths of tho doctrines they profess ? It at once loads thc i gnorant portion of the community to conclude theology a system invented to delude them , and they act accordingly . Great is your responsibility , ye worshippers of mammon !
Working men , do not despair , this is the age of improvement : < act . not from momentary impulses , bufc from a firm conviction of duty . Think ! think deeply ! and think seriously ! exert the whole powers of your minds , and the result will more than recompense yoii . N . B . _*—Wc know for a truth , that Messrs . ; Wilson havo given out the work to a Mr , Woolley , of Long Whatton , to get it made , and they will pay him Hie propor price for it , —tho same price as their hands at Nottingham have turned out to obtain .
