" O . \ Tcesiuy afternoon an inquirv of some hours ' duration was held before Mr . J . * W . Payne , the newly-appointed deputy coroner , at the Three Tuns , lligh-street , Southwark , touching the death of TJioinas lee P « yne , aged 30 years , who died from Asiatic cholera , and whose death was alleged to have been accelerated by the neglect of the parochial surgeons of St . Saviour ' s Southwark . —William Walker , watchman at the Talbot Inn . in lligh-street said the deceased had been for some time past out of
any general employment , and lodged at the Talbot . Inn . On Sunday night last be complained of pains in his bowels , and sickness . The deceased continued to get worse , and witness went to Mr . Woolridgc , tbe parish surgeon , and told him the deceased was dangerously ill , at the Talbot Inn . Jlr . AVoclridge said the locality was not in his district , and referred him to Mr . Catidell . Witness repaired to Air . Candell , and told him what Mr . Woolridgc had sai < l , and Mr . Candcll replied that he thought the place was in Mr . Woolridge ' s district , but gave witness some medicine . Xcither of the surgeons attended , and the deceased died about eight o ' clock on Mohdav morning . —The waiter at the Talbot Inn said after the deceased was laid out he saw the deceased move , and went instantly for Mr . 'VYoolridge , and saw the assistant who refused to attend . —Mr . T . M . -iy , one of the guardians of the poor , said Mr . Candell was appointed as an assistant to Mr . Woolrittgo , and tbe instructions were to attend to every el-. olcm ease without an order , and also to bo as
vfgil-. uit as possible . —Mr . vvoomdge said the parish wjss divided into two districts , and if the deceased ha I i Gin in his district he should have attended . — y . r . Candell said he did not undersh . n 2 that the case was an urgent one , if lie had he would have attended if the case had not been iu his district . —Tlie landlord of the Talbot Inn sdd the deceased went to Mr . "WooMdnre ' s shop on Sunday evening , when he was exceedingly ill , and they refused to let him have any medicine unless he paid for tbe bottle . — The coroner summed up , and the room was cleared . Aftcrnenrly an hour ' s deliberation the jury returned the following special verdict : — " That the deceased died from cfiblera , ami the jury bog to express their regret that the deceased had not proper medical aid , and that he was not visited bj- either Mr . Woolridire or Mr . Candcll , the medical officers appointed for the palish of St . Saviour . "
On Tuesday evening an inquest was taken by Mr . W . Payne , at the Goldsmiths' Anns , Southwarkbviilge-voad , on view of tlie Lody of Mai-y Sharps , . nge < T 4-l , a greengrocer , lately carrying on business at Xo . 83 , Mar-street , where she died of Asiatic cholera . Mr . Evans , a surgeon , stated that the deceased lived in a neighbourhood in which there were many nuisances , which caused a vitiated state of the atmosphere . Ahone-boiler ' s and some knackers ' yards were within a short distance , and the drains emitted a most offensive effluvium , lie often had occasion to pass the bone-boiler ' s , and has found thu smell most horrible . Within tlie influences Of these nuisances tlie cholera has been most fatal . There was always a deal of infectious fever in that locality . The Coroner inquired what was the state and quality of the water ?—Mr , Evans stated that
the water was taken from tlie Thames , at Lambeth , from whence it w : is conveyed by pipes to Urixton , where it underwent a process of filtration . The joison , however , which was iu solution , cuill not be entirely got rid of . A juror stated that a short time ago be bad 3 iad bis butt pitched in tbe inside , as he found the water possessed a very bad taste . Though he took that precaution it was no better . Some of tbe jury said the water was frequently so bad that they could not drink it , and Mi-. Evans observed that he Lad 110 doubt impure water would assist to promote the cholera , lie had not made an analysis of tbe water . —Tlie Coronerremarkcd , that he wished he could draw the attention of some eminent chemist to analyse the water used in tlioss neighbourhood * where the cholera had been most prevalent . —Yerd : et , " Death from Asiatic cholera .

Liverpool . —The returns of tlio parochial officers continue to show a decline in the number of new cases , hat tlie mortality is much greater . This may be attributable to greater attention being now paid to the premonitory symptoms of the disease by the people themselves without seeking tlie help of tlie jiarisli surgeons ; whilst of tlie number who do seek h too many foolishly wait until they are past the power of skill or medicine to save them . —Mancha ; - t-. r Uaarditui , St . Asi > p . ew " s . August 20 . —The medical
switlolften have rcponed many cases of diarrhoea during the past week , widcJi , if not checked in time , would undoubtedly have merged into the ivovst stage of the disease ; nearly the whole of the cases reported iiave turned out fatal . These unfortunate results have been brought about by a wilful conee .-iluiont of the premonitory symptoms , and in one or two cases by positive refusal to take the medicine prescribed , liowever , the benefit of house to house visitation ajiutni'st tlie lower classes is beginning to be felt and appreciated , and many casesbf incipient disease have been discovered am ! checked in time .

Mr . IIctsox . —A man who has held so prominent a position in the cntc-vjn-iso of our country cannot fail to become a subject of interest even in his fall . From t wo several quarters we heard on Thursday , tlmt lie bad compromised all claims on him for about £ 247 , 000 . We have no doubt that rumour has s'iriiii" out of what we said last week , that tlie York aiul Berwick committee had offered to settle with him for £ 100 , 000 . The present rumour h improbable , simply because , in our opinion , it is impossible . Great as Mr . Hudson ' s powers of raisin" money once were , when he had the confidence ofshnrclioldcrs , and their pockets to dip into , it is a different thing now be has only bis own purse to < ro to . lie could easier wise two and a half millions then , as he did at the Derby meeting , than he could now , jcrhaps , £ 20 , 000 .

Should everything be vomited , oven this supplementary powder , or even it might be given in preference to it , I would suggest , to be given at intervals , five grains of calomel and three grains of powdered colchicum root , placing them on the tongue , and washing them down with a mouthful of water . This combination I have given with the desired effect . ColomeJ , we know , has a sedative effect on the stomach . These powders , before they reach the duodenum ( in which they act on the liver ) , would be from one to two hours under ordinary circumstances , but as everything flows in this disease rapidly on , perhaps a much shorter period will be
required , unless there is no purging , but simply spasms of the bowels . So , on this account , from a few minutes to two hours may elapse before the medicine displays its power fully . Sometimes there is neither vomiting , purging , nor spasm ; indeed , violent spasmodic action is a favourable sign , most recoveries taking place when they are violent . For this type a stimulant of a peculiar kind is wanted . The' frame is paralysed by the intensity of the cause of this disease , I would therefore suggest strychnia in such cases ( whieli is chiefly used in paralysis ) , combined with colchicum . In the state of collapse it has been advantageously given .
It ought to be impressively remembered , colchicuin , to have its virtues in perfection , must be gathered at a certain season , which is mentioned in the Phannacopjcia , and must be properly preserved . Perhaps this objection lies not against veratria , which , combined with an unknown acid , constitutes the active principle of colchicum . Also so it ought to be understood a remedy is . medicine that in general cures ; such as blccdiris-, Ac ., for inflammation . Likewise , let it be known , various inflammatory attacks occasionally exist at
the same time that cholera goes on , and are particularly apt to ensue : i 3 it subsides : for instance , the bowels may be inflamed partly by the violent spasm ? , partly by acrimonious bile on the subsidence of the disease scouring through them , in which case , bran poultices , and a llninient composed of equal parts of hartshorn , turpentine , and opodeldoc , should he used , or leeches may be necessary . The debility consequent on cholera , too , requires a cautious , discriminating treatment ; and if the attack should have been severe , it must be long persevered in , if health is to be completely enioved afterwards .
DIRECTIONS FOR US 1 KC TJ 1 E 1 'OWJlEIiS . 1 . The pow = ! ers first to be made the proper strength to suit the age , for which see the table of proportional doses . 2 . For looseness , give a looseness powder every three hours , mixed in cold water , and if vomited , repeat it immediately : drink mutton or bocf tea with boiled rice in it frequently , and cold water when thirsty , and keep from solid animal food for a few days . 3 . This looseness powder is only proper when there is trifling pain in tlie bowels .
4 . lor spasms of the stomach and bowels , griping , vomiting , aud purging , with coldness of tile bouy . Give . a griping-and spasm powder , ( and if vomitcil , repeat it immediately until it stops in tlic stomach , ) and apply a mustard , or mustard and bran poultice to the stomach and bowels , according to the severity of the symptoms using much or little mustard ; apply hot bricks to the Veet , and hot flannels to the legs , then give copious draughts of lean mutton or beef tea , and cold water if thirsty , to be drunk as freely as agreeable . 0 , If there is no passage through the bowels in two hours , be careful to secure an " casy passage , by giving magnesia or castor oil . w "When the severe symptoms subside , if there is much weakness , put a teaspooiiful of good spirit in a bttlo of the bcei * or inutton tea , and give it every half hour .
7 . If there is any soreness of the bowels , rub them with the liniment made of equal parts of turpentine , hartshorn , and opodeldoc , and then apply a warm bran poultice ; and if there is much soreness of the bowels , apply a few leeches and then a bran poultice . Xote . —Always take care to purge the griping powders off , to get tiie calomel out of the bowels " , which will only be necessary , if no easy passage takes place in two or three hours . 8 . Tor indigestion , loss of appetite , loathing of food , ruiiililiiig of the bowels , and disorder of' the head . Give an indigestion powder onee or twice a day in a little cold water . 0 . The calomel and colchicum , or colchicum and tonnentil , to be given to check the incessant vomiting when every thing is rejected ; taking cave to apply a mustard poultice to the stomach and bowels , afterwards if necessary , working oft' the calomel with a dose of magnesia or castor oil .
10 . Be careful on recovering to take strengthening medicine for a while . 11 . The rule in applying the mustard poultices , is to let them remain on as long as they can be borne , and the bran poultices to be changed when they begin to get cool . 12 . The cramp of limbs to bo removed by rubbing the parts cramped with a rag dulled with flower of ' sulphur , or with turpentine with the palms of the hand .

. n .-. ked , as it \ ns found , the logs ami thighs having been tied up to the body with a new rope . It was partly covered with lime , and extensive discolouration of tiio face , neck , and thorax had taken place ; hiuccd , it was only by the chiu ( tl-ceused had a remarkably thin and projecting owe ) and mouth , which was nearly toothless ( deceased wore a set of tulse tooth ) , that those best acquainted with deceased could identify the body as his . The jury having returned from pcrformiiiT the most disagreeable part of their functions , the first witness called and "sworn
was—Mr . Pieiick Walsh- , who said : I am not in business at present , but was a grocer's clerk , and reside at Jso . 7 , Edward-street , White Conduit Fields , Islington . I have seen the body of a man at No . 3 , Muvrer place , New Weston-street , in the parish of Bcrmondsey , and I recognise it as the body of Patrick O Connor , who was a gua » er in the London Docks . I think his age was about fiftv . I have known him personally since the 2 Cth of April last . He was my personal friend , and his sister is married to a cousin of mine . He resides at 21 Greenwood-street , Mile Endand was a single man .
, I saw him hist alive at twelve o ' clock on Wedncsdav night , the Sth 111 st . We parted at the corner o ' f Comiiiercial-strcet , Whitechapel , after having been at 3 , Mmver-placG . Uo was then in a good state of health . I spent a great portion of the evening of that day ( Wednesday week ) with him at his lodgings 21 , Greenwood-street , Mile End-road , and then accompanied lam to the house , No . 3 , Minvor-place . I had been with him there before , ' I think four times in all . I know that ho ' and Mrs . M « nning were intimate . He -was intimate with Mr . and
Mrs . Manning . When we arrived at 3 , Minverplace it was about a quarter to ten o ' clock . I saw Mr . and Mrs . Maiming , for she opened the door to us . I did not know the woman in any other character than as Mrs . Manning . Ho ( deceased ) had spoken of her to me always ns Mrs . Manning . We remained at her house about an hour and a half . — The Coroner : What then occurred' —Witness : Wo left together . —Coronci * : During the time you wort there did anything particular take place ?—Witness : After going in and sitting down Mrs . Manning said , " Mr . O'Connor , why did you not come to dinner to day ; wo kept dinner waiting an hour for you ? " She then said , " Did you not get my note ? '' Ho said "No . " " 1 wrote to you to the docks to come to dinner to-dav . " she
said . I said , " Perhaps it might be late when you put it into the receiving-office , and it could not be received at the docks at four o'clock , the time for his leaving the office . " She said , "It was two o ' clock , and he will receive it to-morrow . " Deceased mentioned to her that I had received that day the balance of a bill which a Mr . Pitts , of Betlmal-jjreojiroad , owed to him , and for which 1 had taken out execution against Pitts . The balance was £ 5 0 s . Gd ., and I received it in four sovereigns , two half-sovereigns , and Cd . in silver . I was rattier surprised that she ( Mrs . Manning ) appeared to know so much about the bill , as she could not have known it from me , but from deceased previously . She spoke of three other bills ( no doubt bills of exchange , for deceased was a reputed moneylender ) he held of Mr .
Pitt sand said , "I suppose you will take proceed ings against him for their recovery ? " lie said , " Yes . " There was no other conversation , The deceased began to smoke after that , and then growing very weak and faint , ho laid himself on the sofa , IFc smoked a pipe , and Mr . Manning smoked also , but I did not . Smoking did not lead to drinking—we had potliiug to drink . They got some brandy and water for him when ho was faint , hut he refused to take any . While he was on the sofa she had something in . 1 bottle—can do Cologne , I believe—and she kept rubbing his temples with it . We left at about twenty minutes past eleven o ' clock . He took nothing at the house but water when he was recovering , lie was not slc-k . After he had drunk tlio water he commenced smoking again . On leaving the house we passed through Thomas ' sstreet , and by Guy's Hospital . When I got to the corner of Commci'cial-strccti Whitechapel , ho would
not let me go any further . When I called on him at his lodgings that day ho was lying on a sofa and seemed as if lie had been drinking . [ Mr . J . Mcade here remarked that that must be a mistake , for deceased had been a teetotaller upwards of thirteen years . ] A Sir . Cole was with him whom I had seen before with him at the docks . Mr . Cole parted with us at the door of deceased's lodgings . After twelve o ' clock on Wednesday night 1 did not seo him again until I saw him dead . IIo told me he had boon some time acquainted with Mr . and Mvs . Manning . He told me lie had known her from the time she had been living with tlio Duchess of Sutherland , as I understood him ; and , before her lnarri .-ige with Manning , lie used to call there ( at the Duchess ' s ) to soo her . —A Juror : Do you think there was any improper connexion going on between tlicin ?—Witness I do not think it . I have no knowledge of the fact . —By { he Coroner : Nothing ever occurred between deceased and me to intimate
his position in respect to Mr . and Mrs . Manning . He never alluded to any pecuniary transactions betwocn him aud them . The Coroxeb . —It is useless to attempt goingfurther with the case at the present nioua-nt . We cannot properly go on without the medical testimony ; and perhaps the jury would , wisli to have the body opened by the first medical attendant that was called iu after the body of'deceased was discovered . Mr . Odlixo , surgeon , was ordered to make the autopsy of the body . The Coroner , not being completely satisfied with the evidence oi" one witness as to identifying the bodv , called a second one , viz . :
Mr . W . Flixx , who said , —I am an ofheer of Customs , and live at 10 , Pattison-strcet , Commercial-road East . I have seen tlie body lying dead at No . 8 , Minver-place , and I have no hesitation in saying that it is the body of Patrick O'Connor . I know ' him by liis chin , which was very long . He wore false teeth . He told me so ; and I saw them taken from his mouth yesterday , and they wei-o a perfect set , as it appeared to me . The Cono . vER . —Mr . Constable ( addressing Mr . Slow , the suinmo ' ning-officcr ) , who me the policeofficers engaged in this ease ? I should like to know what time would suit them to adjourn tliu case ? Policc-aonstables Kurton and Barnes ; , of the K and M divisions , hero presented themselves , and said they had the ease in hand , and wove sure if they had time- they could procure most important evidence , to some of which they had already a clue . Thovshould like an adjournment of a week lor the
purpose . After a brief consultation between the coroner and jury , it was ultimately decided that the inquiry shonld * bc adjourned to * Friday next , at eleven o ' clock . The following particulars with respect to the deceased ami the suspected lwiu'devcrs will probably bo of interest to our readers : — Patrick O'Connor , the murdered man , was a ganger in tlie Customs' department , and his occupation lay principally in the London Docks , Ho was a native of Ireland , and was reckoned to be worth a considerable amount of money and property . Originally a tide-waiter , he was , through the influence of Mr . Shoil , Master of tho'Mint , advanced to the situation he filled at the time of bis death . Manning , one of tlie suspected murderers , had been
originally a guard on tlie Ureas Western ltailway , lroni which situation he was dismissed about a year since , in consequence of the serious vobbovios that constantly took place in the train under his care . He was subsequently involved in suspicion of the Postoffice robberies perpetrated by the mail-guard Poole and another , for which they were both transported . Manning was not tried , inasmuch as a case could not be made out against him . The wife of Manning , Maria Hue , a native of Geneva , was / emiue de chambrc in the family of the Duchess of Sutherland . She was a fine-grown , handsome woman , and considered very accomplished among , the society in which she lived . O'Connor , the murdered man , had known Mrs . Manning for a long while , and maintained with her , it is said , a connexion of a criminal nature .

The cabman , it appears , took up his faro in ] 3 ennondsey-square , at ten minutes to eight o clock on Wednesday morning , and drove to the Waterloo Station of the South- Western Railway , where Manning was set down . The sum which Manning received for his furniture was £ 13 ; the police , however , estimate its value at . € ' 10 .
Monday . —A gentleman connected with the press on going over the house where the body of the murdered man was fou ml , on Saturday last , disL-overod in one of the fire-places two cards one of which was , i list of the time of sailing of tho lino of packet sUAws Itrtvtcen London and Sew "York , the other was , 1 plain card , on which was written , " Mr . Wright , passenger to 2 fcw York . " The gentleman iiniiiodi .- . r . ely handed both cards to the police who had charge of the house , and su » pested to them that , it was probable the murderers had taken their passage in the Victoria , which was advertised on tin ; card to sail on Friday last . The policeman , however , tore up the card , at the same time reilliirkingr , " That it was not very likely that if they had intended to go to New York thuy would have left tllOSO e . 'll'ds behind them . " fin fnvthni- nnrir > n nn
that occasion was taken of the matter , but on Sunday the gentleman again communicated his suspicions to the police ; but , as they again declined to make any inquiry into the matter , the gentleman waited c-n tlio sliip ' sagents , Messrs . Phillips , Shaw , and Lowiher , who immediately sent a clerk with him to the London Docks , and a careful examination was made of the list of passengers who had paid their passage to New York by the Victoria . The list , however , only contained the steerage passengers . Thu officials in the baggage department in the London Docks were then applied to , and upon making a reference they found ihat six packages had been taken on board by a person in the name of Manning . Whether it was a man or a woman the dock authorities could not say , but it is probablv
that both tiie Mannings were there , as it has been siitisfaciorily ascertained that Mrs . Munning took away four p ackages , and Manning two , aud of course had they been together Manning would see to the shipment of the luggage . The dock authorities arc of opinion that Maiming had taken his passage in a fictitious liume , and that on going on board , and being . suddenly asked by the luggage entry clerk his Mine , lie , without thought , gave that of " Manning . " With respect to the second card , bearing the namo of " Wright , passenger to > 7 ow York , " Messrs .

In searching the deceased ' s lodgings a number of letters were found from Mrs . Manning , couched in the most endearing terms , many of them regarding money transactions with other parties . Several copies of letters to her were among them , calling her " his dear Maria . " The clerks in the ofiice have generally been much amused by his gallantly with the female sex , as he generally exhibited all letters received from ladies of his acquaintance , and felt very vain of them .
The police have ascertained that the female Manning wrote about a fortnight since to a hotelkeeper " . t Geneva about selling some property connected with foreign railways . It , has also been ascertained that she has considerable property in her own light at Geneva , and to ihat place some of the most active detective otfkers have been sent , with a view of learning whether siie has arrived there or not .

APPHEUENSIOX 01 ? MM 1 LV AIAKSIli G . Tuesday . —The- capture of Maria Manning ( alias Rue ) , the female charged with having been concerned in this diabolical crime , has been ett ' ected . Thanks to tbe energy and activity of our detective foi'OQ in the first instance , arid scconJly , to the great invention of the age—tl . 'e eiectrie telegraphtlio woman w . is arrested on Tueuday in thu ciiy of Edinburgh , with a large amount of properly belonging to the deceased , Patrick O'Connor , i ' n her possession . The circumstances under which the arrest took place may be thus briefly related : —Among the officers employed to trace the suspected iiiiinh .-rers was Sergeant Shaw , of the dctecuvo force . From inquiries made in the neighbourhood of ^ burning ' s
residence , this onicer ascertained beyond a doubt chat Maria Manning left Minrcr-placc on the afternoon of Monday , the 18 th instant , in a cab , taking with her three or four largo boxes . To find out thu driver of this vehicle was tlio next difficulty , and all the officer ' s efforts to accomplish tin ' s failed until Monday evening , when , in consequence of information ho obtained , Bhaw sought out am ! -discovered a man Ji . imed Kirk , driver of the llackuey cab , Kb . 1 . 1 SC .

On Uung taken to Min ver-place by the officer , Kirk ac once recouniseci the house , No . 3 , as the place - where lie ic-ok up his fare , and he then detailed with great minuteness
the route she was driven by himself . He said , that when she left Minver-place , she bad with her three large boxes and a carpet bag . She first direcu-: him to drive to the London-briil-o Station oi' the South-Eastern Railway , but , jiistasho was tui-riinj * into the road loading from the Borough to the terminus , she pulled the check-ftring and ' bado him draw up his eab -it the door of Air .

South-Kastcrn Haihvay , where he foi ' dinatt'ly fou : i < l tho boxes exactly as described , no inquiry iiavii :: ; been made for them since they were deposited on Monday week . The suspicions previously entertained by Mr . Hayncs now ripened into certainties . ft » . i lie afc oneo sought an intorview with O . S . Jlerbcrt , tho secretary of the company , to whom ho explained the whole matter , and expressed the n > .-co- -. ity of examining tho contents of the boxes . Mr , Ji-rberfc
conferred with two or three of tiie diiw / . ors who happened to be at the station , and th » ct ; - . imiasioners of police having backed Mr . U : tyno ' s application by a request from themselves to tin- same effect , the boxes were conveyed into thu wivmry ' s office , and there forced open . The fir .-t £ l .-i ;! CC * afc each disclosed a quantity of female wearing : ' apparel , which upon examination , proved to be niftrkt-d with the name of Maria Rue , the maiden liaie . v . tf Mrs . -MaiDiing-. A further examination I'iivovcrcd a . quantity of articles belonging to tin : dcueuscd , Patrick O'Connor , and several letters viiu- 'ii by him to the supposed murderess . Air . Ihivuo * now iminetiiatoly proceeded to the London aud North-Western Station , With the view of tr «« ii : << - Maria Manning . His inquiries here were fortunatelv most
successful—in brief , we may state , tlmt he ascertained a female passenger , whose liiffsjagc- was marked with the name of Smith , hail k-fc the Euston station on tho morning of Tuewl .-. y , ih > - Hth inst ., by tho 6 . 15 a . m . train , liavn .-g liooki-1 her place through to Edinburgh . There " could he no longer any doubt as to the direction the suspected party had taken , and Mr . Hayncs , at ten minutes to one o ' clock , telegraphed through to Edinburgh direct , addressing the superintendent cf the city police , and informing him of the circumstances above detailed , with a full description of the suspected party . Mr . llaynes had scarcely arrived at Scotland-yard , on his return , when a messenger from the telegraph office reached there , bearing intelligence that Maria Manning had boon arrested upon the information forwarded by Mr . llaynesby
, Mr . Moxhay , tho chief officer of the Eduibnvgh constabulary , The activity displayed by this ofito may be judged of from tho fact that scarcely an . hour elapsed between the message having been sent , and tho reply communicating the gratifying intelligence of the woman ' s arrest . At a later hour on Tuesday evening , another telegraphic message was received from Edinburgh , communicating tho vasult of a search'made of tho prisoner ' s person nu ] luggage , from which it appears that tho Ibliowiiij , ' property was found upon her : —Seventy-threo " sovereigns , one £ 50 note , and six £ 10 notes , five of these latter bearing the numbers advertised on Monday as having been paid to Manning on Saturday , the 1 lth inst ., on the presentation of one of
tne deceased ' s cheques . . In addition to this money , there was also found in the woman ' s possession all the missing scrip of tho Sambro and Mouse , and Boulogne and Amiens Railways , known to have been in the possession of tho deceased , and some articles of wearing apparel belonging to him . Tho boxes belonging to her have been brought from the South-Eastern Railway station to Scotland-yard , where their contents underwent a second examination on Tuesday night . Manning is still afc large , and we fcav wo must add that no clue to his retreat has been discovered . There can be no doubt , liowever , that he has very little money in his possession ; and this circumstance , it is hoped , will have the effect of destroving all chance of his escape . '

Capel in search of the Victoria , American packetship , on board of which tbe fugitives were supposed to be passengers , returned at nine o ' clock on Wednesday morning . Tlie Victoria was overtaken off the Bill of Portland , and boarded by Liiiigley and Thornton , tho detective officers . Two persons of the name of Manning wore found among the passengers , but they proved not to be the parties sought for . They were mother and daughter , ji ml . the six parcels booked at the London Docks belonged to them .
I'AUTJIHtMKS JiESrKCTl . YC . V . i . \ M . \ G . Tuespay Xhsht . —The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police , owing to information which they have just received , are inclined to think that Manning has not left the metropolis , but is secreted in some of the hyo-strcets in London . A person , named Wright , states that ho is personaJlv acquainted with Manning , aid that he went into tho Hank of England Tavern , near tho Great "W estern Kailway , with him , ¦ where they both partook of somo refreshment , and Wri ght went to the door for tho purpose o ( callinfr in " a policeman and giving him into custody . Whilst , he was so engaged Wright states that Manning left the houso ami ran ; -, v ,- ;\ v . At first this appeared quite improbable , and nothing more was thought of it than an idle rumour , but from what has subsequently transpired there is every reason to believe that the statement made by Wright was perfectly correct ; in consequence of which the commissioners last nisht issued privately the Mowing notice to the force " : —
_ Al . 'iniiing liiis a brother named Edward , living at 30 , Frances-street , Kcwingtou-butts ; a lii-olltcr-iu-law " named lialiili , living at ' - ' , Leas-mews , ShciiparU ' s-wmn , Clrosveiior-sijuare , and a brother nami'd Joseph , stayiujr \ vi : h Mr . Haljili . Also , another unitliiT-iu-luw mvmvtf Oasnliiii , wlio resides ; it Taunton , as well as a brother named liiincs , residing at Wjveliseoinli , in Somersetshire . IIo liii . " also a sister , who is landlady of tlie Cutter Jim , at lV .-ynsoutli . This residences ol ' idl those pnvtiesaveto bo closclyVnlcliefl iv sec-wlu-tlicr Manning-applies fin * shelter at 11 iiy . Manning- formerly lived at (! , Miilnot-tcmiec , I ' aiklin ;; ii-n , It appears fro :: i further inquiry that Manning and his wife , in carrying out their deadly purpose , have , as was expected , made use of soporific drugs . Two bottles are now in the possession of Mr . Oiilins ' , the surgeon of the police district . One contains " 1 few drops of laudanum , and is labelled " Poison , —William Hill , Chemist , 64 , liormondscy-strcct , " and the other is a cut glass bottle , such as is used for
containing peifume , and in which is about an ounco of laudanum . " The fractures of the skull extended 011 the right side over tho frontal , temporal , parietal , and occipital bones ; the heaviest blows ' being inflicted near the occiput ( back of the hem ] . ) 2 vo fewer than sixteen pieces are in I \ Ir . Odling ' s possession , and that gentleman states that he h .-is got qitito weary of removing the pieces , and that therc-ioro he l-. as left nearly as many more untouched , lieath must have ensued long before the whole of these injuries were inflicted , one fracture almost extending from tho back of the head to the left eye . One of the bottles containing tho poison is smeared with Hkio , having been apparentl y handled by n person whose hands were daubed with that material . It is rather singular that no traces of the commission of all this violence can be discovered in any of tho rooms , ns tho fcalp was dreadfully cut in many places , and , of course , a considerable eiVusicm of blood must have taked place .
Jlr . Odlmg gives it as his opinion that a broad flat hammer , was tiie weapon used in striking the fatal blows . Tim murder was , in all probability , committed in the front kitchen , as the noise of fire-arms discharged in any other room must have awakened tho inmates of the adjoining houses . Thojoiico at hall-past eleven , received the following telegra phic message;— " Is Manning in custody—send back an immediate answer . " It is inferred from this that the Edinburgh police have some clue to a person answering his description .

It is expected that one or more of tho metropolitan police will arrive here this evening , with authority to receive her into their cut > tody .

Indeed , for several days the vessel was kept outside , and it was only when the weather threatened to be boisterous that permission was granted for her to enter the port ; and , but fqi * the aid rendered them by a few charitable individuals , these poor emigrants must have suffered starvation .
