Mr . Qdixn . —I beg to state that I entirely dissent 1 from the view of the ca ? e which Lord Rodenisexpressingin regard io grert hardship . Lord Rodes continued . —In tha year 1848 , when -rebellion was rife ia this country , the government ¦ w ere anxious to call out all the spirit of private individuals to prove that they would show a readiness to pnt down rebellion . The 12 th of July occurred I about the period when disaffection was at its height , and every exertion was made by the sentry as well 33 ptheK to back the government , and thus show , in the best possible manner , the feelings which thev entertained in regard to rebe'lion . The Orangemen B ~ et that year uuder circumstances exactly similar to those under which they assembled at the " last anni-Tersary ; an ? so far from their being any hindrance —any damp thrown upon the proceedings , or blame cast upon those who took part in them , they were treatelinsuchawayaswoald lead one to .

suppose that taey were encourared in the procession ia which fiey were engaged . Oa the 17 th of March last t-iere was a meeting of the opposite , or Riband pu" v they met together wilh arms in their hands , and were under circumstances calculated to show thathey were under no dread ; they marched over the country , crossed many districts and actually fired shots in the streets of his ( Lord Roden ' s ) vihVe The government was informed of all this , a nd yet no word had ever been spoken in order to lead people at larje to believe that their proce ? ding * were contrary to ihe law of the land , or told by th ^ sa who took part in them to know that such participation in them wa « an illegal act . When the 12 th came round this year and the people took a simila r course , however a . prosecution was sent down , through Mr . Ruthven to ask them as magistrates to deprive the-e men of liberty . It was true that Hr . Berwick had promised tf > at there sh-juld be nothing beyond a nominal punishment . ¦ I . )
Mr . Berwick—I beg your pardon , my Lord . I did promise nothing of the kind . My only meaning was thi 3 , that if such a case came before me for trial , and that there appeared nothing more against the parly than what has come out here in evidence to-day , I would not consider them liable to more than a nominal punishment . Lord Robex went on to ask whether it mast not be regarded as a punishment for these men to be coming into town from their distant homes for trial ? Is it not punishment that they should be put to the expense of hiring counsel to defend them , or findins security for their appearance at the assizes ? Could it be supposed that such things we ; c no punishment ? For his own part , as a plain man and not a lawyer , and after hearing a great deal from both sides , he confessed that he felt it his duty as a magistrate to refuse the application . At the same time , he could
not help lamenting that the government had seen St to bring forward such a charge after her Majesty ' s visit to this country , which hid put down in a great measure the angry feeling which had prevailed here lie repeated , he could not but lament that the present proceedings had been instituted ; h nvever , he did feel that , under a sense of these difficulties , it was his duty to act for the best , aud pursue what he conceived to be the most honest course—and that was to refuse to join in opinion with Mr . Berwick . The refusal in the present instance would not prevent the further consideration of the case : an ' , however others might do , he could not consent to what he believed wotf d be an act of great iuju-ticenamely , granting informations against these men . As the chairman of the couit , he had deemed it bnt his duiy briefl y to state the reasons which led to the decision he had just given .
The Rev . Mr . Forde , anotW of the bench , said he felt it his duty , as a magistrate , when a donbt arose , to give the accused the benefi ; of it Seeing that there was what he conceived to ba a very gr . ve doubt in the present instance , lie , for one , could not agree to take the informations . Air . Quinx said he could only express the opinion of a single member of that bench . He would not attempt to follow the noble chairman into the very various and varied mass of matter which he ha-i put before the court . He gave it as bis own opinion , that it was . to say the least of it , unbecoming ta branch of into matters not in the slightest degive connected with the case befo e the court . The wily question now before them was one purelv of
lawnamely , whether or not the procession wai unlawful . It ha <] been stated in evidence that previous to the last 12 th of July there had been apprehensions entertained , and , that precautions had to be taken to protect the caunly from riot and outrage . Had it not been thus treated , the consequences misht have been more fearful than they were . It appeared that a collision actually did take place on the evening of the day in question , aud that five persons lost their I ' m s . Hail these people hadi distinct intimation that the whole assemblage was illegal , as the learned counsel had jpstpu ~ . it the chances were in favour of the supposition that these people wohM still be living . There
• was evince ttias 300 or 4 < 13 of these persons were armed with guns and other weapons , which they were determined to use if opposed . He had n > doubt that su ? h were the feelings in the breast of every man who was present on the occasion . lie would go further , however , and would say that the leaders of the pvocession—those wha were present atit and lent it count ? nance—were equally guilty , and should be made equally amenable . His notion was , that the opinion ofajury should be taken upon the conduct cfallofiuein . He repeated that he did not feel at all called upon to notice the various topics introduced bv the chairman .
Prospects op the Couxtrt . — The harvest of 1849 may be now eonsidaied as gathered in , and upon its return Langs the issue whether this count-y shall rec ver the comparatively favourable position she occupied previous to the occurrence of the first famine in the yoar 1 S 1 G , or whether she is again destined to drag through another season of despair and poverty , borne down with an overwhelming poorrate , and the bst shadow of hope obliterated by a fourth failure of the staple food of the peiple . lc is impossible to overrate the consequences now at stake ; and from such : nformatioi « as reaches u < through the " usual public channels , " it is gratifying to be enabled to state that the balance of accounts is altogether in favour of the supposition that the first step towards amendment will be gained by the
realisation o a harvest of more thau average plenty . That there will be a partial shortness of the potato is now au established fact , but that the scarcity will not befeh until a mu-h more advanced period of the cnsuins year than has been the case of late seasons , is eijmlly certain ; while the other green crops arc abundant beyond all precedent . Add to this , that oats and barley rarely ever promised a finer yield , and that wheat , if not equal to the returu 9 of former years , is at least superior to the crop of 18 i 8 , aud , under such circumstances , it is not , perhaps , too much to anticipate that the worst perils of a three years ' crisis will be ere lona surmounted , and that the improvement , < nee fairly begun , confidence in the present and hope in the future will speedily become univ- rssl .
The Political " Exiles . "—Mr . John O'Donneli , of Limerick , one of the gentlemen who was connected rather proajinently in the late " troubles " in the south , has received full permission from the authorities to revisit , and , if he be so inclined , reside in bis mtive place without apprehension of any Eltcrinr proreedngs . After sime consideration , a like amnesty has been ex ' . ended to Mr . Francis Morgan , ex-law agent of the corporation , who bas been a residc . it of Paris previom to the suspension of the Habras Corpus Act . L . * . ~ c 2 > lok » s axd Tesasts . — Lord Stuart de Deeles is greatly praised in several of the southern journal ? for his exertions to give employment to the labouring classes . He has laid ont £ 10 , 000 cm a ¦ fisbiug station at Helvick , in the county of "Wateri ford , where he has established a curing station on the ! Scotch nlan . The noble lord ' s exertons have met

The accounts which have been received at s Dublin Castle were of a nature that made it desirak "ble to strengthen some of the local bodies of police .

, Plymouth , Sept . 16 . — Although the accounts yesterday were of so favourable , a nature that everybody here was in hopes that the disease was abatin " , both in its virulence and the number of the attecks , the night of Friday and last night have dispelled this hope . Yesterday there were sixteen now cases of cholera , and ten deaths , and during last night there were as many as seven persons died in one street , ctlled Higher lane , a wretched district , densely populated by the poorer classes , and situated in the heart of the old part of the town . In
Stonehouse there have been several deaths within the last few days , and the disease , after a lull of some days , appears to have broken out with renewed strength .

Ox Tuesday , morning considerable excitement prevailed in the London-road , Southwark , by the circulation of a report that a man and his wife , who had just taken possession of one of the houses in the road , had been found dead in their bed , and they were suspected of having been poisoned . In a very short period a large crowd congregated round the house , and it was at length deemed advisable to send to Tower-street Police-station , in order that the affair might be properly iavestigated . Upon the police going to the house they ascertained that the premises had been taken a few days since by a party who intended to open them in the oxeonfrrocerv . in .
fruit line , for which purpose the building was undergoing some alteration . On Monday the female was attacked with cholera in its worst forms . Dp . Farebrother was called in , and lie did all tllilt Was possible , but without avail , and the poor creature died after a few hours illness . The husband was shortly afterwards similarl y attacked , and although every assistance was rendered , he also expired . " A relative of the deceased p arties was in the house , and so far from there being any attempt made to conceal the deaths , everything was perfectly satisfactory , and even the medical certificate ' of the deaths was sriven .
Maxciiester . —Further alleged Neglect of Cholera . —On Saturday an inqiust was held at Manchester on the body of a poor wonvtn Domed Ellen Mallinson , who had been seized on the previous Sunday with cholera and had died on Thursday . Site lived in Hall-street , and was never visited by any medical man at all during her illness , and Mr . Ken-, surgeon , gave a description af the neighbourhood in which she had lived , which , he described as very bad in a sanitary point of view . He was of opinion ,
from the evidence of her friends , that she might have been saved with proper medical care , and though the authorities of Manchester should have adopted the system of house-to-house visitation recommended by the Board of Health , without which , many CUSPS must escape the vigilance of their medical officers , aud instanc . s i ccur of poor persons perishing without aid . The jury returned a verdict of " Died from Asiatic cholera , " and recommended that a copy ot the depositions be forwarded to the Boaid of Health in London .
Manchester , Tuesday . —There were reported at the Town-hill to the p slice authorities seven deaths on Sunday , sev . non Monday , and eleven on Tuesday .

DESTRUCTION OF TIIE PACKET-SHIP HENRY CLAY BY FIRE .
New-York , Sept . 5 . —I have just returned from a melancholy scene—the destruction of the Xcw-York and Liverpool liner , Henry Clay , 1 , 400 tons burden , and her outward-bound cargo on board , by fire . The Henry Clay was moored at the foot of Maiden lane , in the East River , and about two o ' clock this morning flames burst forth from the between-decks and up the main hatchway . The alarm was instantly given , but such was the combustible nature of her cargo—chiefly turpeutino , resin , flour , and cotton V ? 50 bales)—that although the fire companies and their engines were on the pier alongside in the course of a few minutes , yet it was impossible to save the noble ship . In about an houi ' . the flames enveloped the riffging in their destructive folds , mounting mast high with a thousand tongues of roaring fury , throwing their red and lurid glare with a fearful reflection over the city , Brooklyn Heihts
g , Brooklyn , and a perfect forest of masts , while in Broadway it appeared as if the deep and roseate twilight of dawn illumined the eastern heavens . The confusion and sublimity of the scene were appalling , especially as the bale-fires flashed upon busy groups of men and boats hauling out the neighbouring ships , which were exposed to the utmost danger . Soon after four o ' clock the main and mizen masts fell , each with a tremendous crash , and amid cries and shouts of " Clear away ! For God ' s sake stand from under ! " Oneman only was injured , so far as yet known , by the falling spars - liut it is feared that his wounds are mortal . The foremast did not go by the board until nearly seven o ' clock ; and at that hour the ship had heeled over against the pier ; sheets of fire , and dense rolling volumes of black smoke bursting through her entire deck , and many holes on her larboard side—the last sad scene in the conflagration of the Henry Clav .
The Hemy Clay was one of the finest vessels of the line of Grinnell , Miutum , and Co ., and was worth about one hundred thousand dollars . The cause of the fire is not known , neither can I learn with certainty how the ship and her cargo were insured . The packet Waterloo , and another very large vessel , had a narrow escape . Much credit is due to the New York firemen for their prompt and well-directed exertions—for they alone saved a whole fleet from the destroying element . Eleven O' Clock . —But a few timbers of the Henry Clay now remain . The loss may as well be called total . The ship was insured by Messrs . Grinnell aud Mintura by the year . The cargo , if owned by English merchants , is most probably insured . —jfjming Chronicle .

ms ^^ y ^ The Britannia Tubular Bridge . —Active preparations are being made at the Menai Straits connected with the renewed attempts at raising the tube to its permanent level , a process looked forward to with considerable anxiety , in consequence of the late misadventure . The * new cylinder intended to replace the one that sprung was cast on Saturday last . It has to be a week in sand to get annealed , by which process it will become toughened . Every precaution has been taken , and the most improved method of casting has been adopted , so as to confer all additional security . Some modifications have been carried out by " the engineers , Messrs Easton and Amos , in the bottom of the press , to counteract the effect of contraction in such larra
masses of metal , and which is believed to have been the superinducing cause of the bursting of the first cylinder . "When in perfect readiness , the new cylinder will be shipped on board a . steamer direct to the Straits . It will be a machine . of prodisious power , of cast iron , in one piece , of from sixteen to twenty tons weight , and capable of sustaining a pressure of 9 , 000 lbs . or 10 , 000 lbs . on the inch . Since the accident , last month , the -whole range of scaffolding , and all the immense machinery , ' have received such a superabundance of strength for the next trial that any recurrence of the recent casualty is looked unon as improbable . Precautions have also been taken by Air . Stephenson to guard against any future damn » e , cither co the tube or to those who will be engaged in r . iisin » it . seeinsr that , in
addition to the loss of life that occurred on the last occasion , Mr . E . Clark , the acting engineer , who was standing on one of the cross-heads of the press , had a narrow escape , being suddenly thrown on to the boiler in the engine-room . The tube is now raised about one quarter of what -frill be its actual ultimate elevation , and is resting twenty-five feet above high water . It has subsequently to be hauled np seventy-five feet higher ; and it is expected that in twelve days iroin the commencement of operations it will attain its proper level . The propositions that have recently been made of lifting the huge fabric by means of pontoons , tide raised , and bearing up the tube on suitable scaffolding , are by no means new or unthought of . They would work well in a model , but would be quite impracticable , for many reasons , on the scale required . —Mining

THE CHOLERA . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Itisa distressing and perplexing fact , thai the pathology of cholera continues It disputed point , and that the British medical journals term with different and opposing speculations on the occult nature and proper treatment of this disease . In the meantime , while . the pestilence has advanced with fearful strides in town and country , and has hurried to destruction a vast multitude of our countrymen , it is high time to enquire whether the continental faculty of medicine has been more successful in th-s employment of specific remedies . To this important inquiry , the writer can return a correct and

Clarkso-i and Mr . Parnell appeared for the prosecution , and Mr . Ballantino and Mr . Parry defended the two elder prisoners . —The prisoner Brittle , a somewhat simple half-starved looking lad , dressed in the prison clothes , pleaded guilty to four indictments , charging him , by moans of the forged orders , with obtaining a quantity of turpentine , white lead , vermillion , oil , and other goods , the property of Messrs .
Blundell , Speaco , and Co . * -The evidence adduced in support of the indictment proving the following facts : —The prosecutors , who are largo oil and colour merchants , carrying on business at Anchorwhavf , Thames-street , had , amongst their other numerous customers , a person named Bnuhfield , j and on the 3 rd of last month one of the partners in the firm found in their letter-box an order purporting to come from that customer for a cask of white lead , which he gave orders to bo supplied ; ami on the following day the lad Brittle came with si truck , asked for the goods , aud , no suspicion being entertained , the order was supplied to him , and ho took the cask away on the truck . On tho Cth the boy came again and , by means of another forged order .
obtaining a carboy of turpentine , a barrel of boiled oil , and seven pounds weight of vermillion ; and on tlie 9 th came again for a cask of white lead . The orders previously to this being found to have been forged , an officer of the City police was fetched , and the lad having had the lead given to him , ho took it away , followed by tho officer , who traced him to No . 44 , Compton-stroet , Clerlccnwell , where he saw him unload it , being assisted by Hoare , whose namo as a metal and marine-store dealer was over the door . Another officer having been set to watch the house , the boy , who left directly he had unloadod the lead , was followed as far as St . Luke ' s Ohuvch , where the officer stopped him , and bavin * had some communication , at once took him inno
custody . The officers then returned to tlie shop when Downer came into tlie shop from a cellar and , in answer to tho officers , said he was the master of the shop . They then told him who they were , and he then retracted what he had said , and said he was not the master of tho shop , and Uoare coming into the shop , said that he had lent a man named Jolinson or Thompson some money on the lead that had just been , brought in , as well as the rest of the goods obtained , which were found in another part of the shop . Upon their being taken into custody Hoare ' s wife gave some information that led to the apprehension of a man named Thompson , who , it turned out , had been the person who had sent the boy with the forged orders , and
who had sold tho articles to Hoare , who , it was clearly proved , was aware how the goods were obtained . —For the defence of Downerit was contended that beyond stating that he was master of the shop ho was not shown to have taken part in tho purchases , and being father of noave ' s wife , mv-ht have thought ho had a ri ght to answer the police as ho did in the first instance . —The Common Sergeant , in summing up , said he thought the case against Downev very slight . —The jury having consulted some time without being able to come to a decision , retired , and a fresh jury were empannolled . —W . Ihompson , aged 55 , a painter , was then indicted with the other three prisoners , Brittle IlOftVe , ailll DownOl , for- OOl--pirmjz to defraud divpfs
persons . —Tho prisoner pleaded " Guilty . " Receiving Stolen Goods . —Home and Downer were then indicted for receiving a quantity of tools , principally carpenters ' , knowing them to have been stolen . —Mr . Ryland prosecuted , and Mr . Ballantino and Mr . Parry dcfimdeit . In tins case it appeared that wheu tho police searched tlie house of Hoare , they found hidden in the garret a largo quantity of excellent cavpontei-3 tools , and upon asking the prisoners about thorn , they said that they had bought them at a sale many years ago , Downer stating that no had made the purchase himself , buying thorn for his son . Tho police believing thorn ' to be stolon , made inquiries , and found that on the 10 th of June a carpenter ' s shop , at some now buildings in Westbournctcrraco
- , was burglariously entered , and ail tho workmens' tools stolen , and that those found proved beyond doubt to bo the same . -Whilst the jury were consulting in this case , tho jury who had retired returned into court , and ' found Hoare " Guilty , " but acquitted Downer . —Tho second iurv having consulted a short time , returned a verdict of " Guilty" against both the prisoners . —Tho Common-Sorgonnt , in passing sentence , said it was evident thoir house w . is a regular nest for stolen goods . They did not live tliore , nor had they called any one to show who they wore ; and it was cvidcnf , ' from tlic manner in \ vlifoh they were defended , that there was no lack of money ; and it was pretty certain they belougod to a gang . He should , therefore , sentence Hoaro to twelve , and Downer to ton years transportation . — Thompson , when called oil for
judgment , put in a long written statement , alleging that poverty and disease hail driven him to act as ho had , and askini ; mercy for the boy , whom he said ho had seduced into tho matter , having first met him in tho workhouse . —It then transpired that ho had been twice before convicted for swindling , and had been imprisoned for . two years and for six months . —Tim Common-Sorjroant sentenced him to two years' imprisonment , without hard labour . — Upontho lad Brittle being brought up for judgment an officer said that ' no was Thompson ' s ' own son , and that ho brought up another son who was used by the gang . —The Co-. nmon-Sorgoautsaid if tho law allowed him he would have transported Thompson , but tho indictment lie pleaded guilty to nid not givo him the power . The lad was ' to be pitied , and the sentence would bo three months' imprisonment .
Misdkmeaxour , —Philip Freeman surrendered and pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with misdemeanour . —Mr . Clarkson , who , with Mr . Bodkin , was instructed for the prosecution , said that this indictment w : is prefered by tho Commissioners of Lunacy against the defendant , for liavin " unlawfully maintained a house for the reception o ° f lunatic persons without having a licence for that purpose . The circumstances were shortly these : — In consequence of information received by the commissioners , they proceeded to the house of tho defendant at Button , near llounslow , where they found two persons of unsound mind , and , bavin " ascertained that the defendant had no licence , and that the persons in question had baeti admitted
without the certificate of any medical man , they had felt it their duty to institute the present prosecution . The commissioners had no desire to aggravate tho offence of the defendant , but they at the same time felt that it was one which must bo put down by the arm of tho law , and tliev considered it essential that it should be publicly known that in every case where tlie act of Parliament was violated the parties would be brought before a criminal court . —The defendant was" ordered to enter into his recognisance to appear and receive the judgment of the court , ; .. Burglary . —John Frostf 24 , was indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of'David William Wire , and stealing a timeniecc , a
quantity of plate and other articles , his property . Mr . Bodkin proscuted . The prosecutor in this case is tho well known solicitor , and the robbery in question was committed at his country house , at Lewisham . It appeared that on the night of the 23 rd of August , the premises were secured by the servants , Mr . Wire and his family being in town , and the next morning it was discovered that the house had been entered during tho night by some person , who had climbed up the waterspout , and thus obtained access to the upper part of tho premises , and that the property in question had been stolen . Tho prisoner was stopped by a police sergeant named Wilton in the morning after the ' robbery carrying a bundle , which was found to . contain nearly the ' whole of the stolen articles . The jury found the prisoner
guilty , and he was sentenceil to be transported for ten years . iNCENDunisJt . —Thomas Smith , S 3 , pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with feloniouslv setting fire to a wheatstack , the property of Thomas Barrow and Henry Phelps U ; ixtei \—! ti \ Bullock , in passing sentence , told the prisoner that a few yeavs MM Ills life would Iiavo been forfeited for ilsis Oifcnce ; and he asked hi : u how he came to commit SHcIi an ofienco ?—The prisoner replied , that he was driven to it by distress . —Mr .

I gave JiW her liberty as she wished , and she gave me mine , and she told mo she was going to bo married , and I gave her leave to do so , and she said I intent do the same . I then man-ind
tins woman , as I considered myself a single man . — The llccordor hero handed to the second wife the following document which was taken from the prisoner , and asked hoi- if she had ever seen it before ? —She replied that when she discovered the prisoner was a married man and taxed him with it , he produced the paper in question , as ho said to satisfy her that their marriage was legal , and he at the same time told her that it . was signed by his first wife . —The paper was as follows : — " This paper cnrtifies that Stephen Deer sold his lawful wife for hve shillings for the term of his natural life , and all parties agrees to the following words—to pay five shillings , and one shilling to drink health . " Several signatures were appended to lltis orecious donn .
mont , mid among them one purporting to be that of the prisoner ' s first wife . —The Recorder , in passing sentence , said it was a great aggravation of the offence that had been committed by tho prisoner , that he had induced his wife to be a party to such a profligate and disgraceful proceeding as the alleged sale , aud to induce her to believe that the solemn contract which they had originally entered into could be broken by any such act . Underany circumstances it was a groat public offence for . i man to go through the ceremony of marriage with another woman while his wife was living , and in this case , as ho before stated , the act had been aggravated by the profligate conduct of . the prisoner with reference to the alleged sale of his wife . lie then ordered the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for one .
year Youxo Thieves and i-iiEin Teachers . —David Rogers , 13 , a diminutive lad , and John Brown , 23 , pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing a pocket handkerchief from the person of Patrick Edward Donnelly . In answer to inquiries made by the Recorder , the officer who apprehended the " prisoners stated that Brown was a notorious thief , and it was his habit to train up young boys like the other prisoner to assist him in committing robberies . In . the present instance Rogers wa 3 put forward bv him to
commit tho roobery while ho stood behind him , and covered him from observation . Rogers , it appeared , had been before imprisoned fW thvee -veelu for a robbery . —The Recorder , in passing ' sentence , s . iid ho should make a great distinction in tho punishment , because there was no doubt that the youn « lad had bacn led to commit the offence by his older associate , who evidently was in tho habit of trainimyoung boys to habits of theft . Ho then sentenced Rogers to be kept to hard labour for six months , and Brown was ordered to be transported foi- ten
years . Co . nvictiox for Perjury . —John Daily , an a ^ ed man , surrendered to tak » his trial for ' wilful ° nd corrupt perjury , —Mr . Clarkson and Mr . Wilde were tortlio prosecution , and Mr .

It appeared that the defendant went iuto Ins servico 111 March last , and he was en ^ eil as n ° a f ' ' r « nd continued in that employment until tlic oUtli ol Juno , when in consequence of some misconduct the prosecutor discharged him , and at the same time paid him the whole of his w .-io-C , \ . very few days afterwards tlie defendant cuiso ' d * a ^ -n ,, ,- ? 3 uoJ il S ainst tho prosecutor for 234 d
A . < s .., alleging that this amount was duo to him for arrears of wages and for lent money and on the 10 th of July , the defendant wont before Mr Justice P . ittesoii , at chambers , and deliberately made an affidavit that he had been informed by a person named John Redding , who was in the servioo ot the prosecutor , that ho was about to leave the country , and that ho had disposed of his business , and had sent numbers of trunks , containing Jus wearing apparel and other property , to a person named Rawhns , who resided near the Bank of England , to bo sent on board a vessel bound for Australia , and which was expected to sail on the 12 th ofJuly , and also that the prosecutor intended to take his departure in her . The effect of this affidavit w ; is to justify the iearnod judge in issuing a warrant authorising the apprehension of the nro °
secutor ana Jus detention 111 custody until he should find bail , and accordingly he was taken bv an officer , and was compelled to remain in custody until he found bail to tho amount of the debt and costs . The present-prosecution was founded upon this ntndiivit , and the evidence clearly established that thcre was not a particle of truth in the statements that were made by tho defendant . Tho prosecutor swore positively that he never had any intention to go to Australia ; that he did not owe tho defendant a farthing ; and also that no person named John Redding had ever been in his service
and ail the other allegations madoin tho defendant ' s affidavit were negatived in an equally distinct manner . —Mr . Cooper addressed the jury for the defendant , and the Recorder having summed up tho case , the jury , after a short deliberation , found tho defendant " Utility , " but recommended him to mercy on account of his age .-The learned Judge , in sentencing the defendant , commented upon the very serious nature of the offence of which he had been convicted , and observed that but for tho recommendation of the jury , and tho fact upon which it was founded ,, ho should certainl y have felt it his duty to pass a sentence of transportation upon him . lie then ordered the defendant to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for , fifteen months .

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER . RE-EXAMINATION oTrilE MAMINGS AT SOUTHWARK POLICE OFFICE . and Maria , Ins wiio , were again bvougl . t up tW riexamination , before Mr . Seeker , magtstn , te of this court , charged with the wilful muvdor of tl " hta Patrick O'Connor . The court was crowded to ox ! ¦ cess with spectators of both si-xos , and oul .-idea largo concourse of person . ' assembled , . inNi , vi 3 tosee the prisoners us they avi ived from HorscnnMif'CTlillie gaol . Tho excitement nt first produced ! rv this extraordinary case continued as intense ai \ d as general as ever . Tho seats near the bench wereoccupied , as on previous occasions , by several persons of distinction .
About half-vast tivo o ' clock the police van containing the prisoners drove up into the com ty .-ird 111 tho rear of the police-office , and in a few minutes afterwards Manning and his wile were escorto . i into the dock by the police , where they at first wore accommodated with chairs . Tlic male prisoner appeared to bo in ill-health and depressed in spirits ; but his wife looked cheerful and quite well and conversed in an under tone with Mr . Kinc , the governor of the gaol , who sat in the dock v . « t behind her , Mr . Bums , the male prisoner ' s profeswrnai adviser , also sat next his client , aud bct-wn tho two prisoners . Mr . Bodkin and Mr . Havward at . tended as before , on the part of the Crown , tor tha prosecution . Mr . Kkaxe , the governor of the gaol , who stood near Mm . Manning , stated that she object . > d to the case boing proceeded with until her ' . v-iieitor
was present , lie , \ mved in a few minutes , when Mr . Ed win , tho chief clerk , proceeded to read over tho deposition ' s of tlie witnesses already examined , excepting those of Bassett and Hammond . As the depositions of Bassett ( now no move ) wei "> not signed , some difficulty may arise as to their recoP " tion as evidence against the prisoners . His state * ments formed a most important link in the chain of . ovidenco which proved tho disposal of the railway shares by Manning , awl traced the changing of the bank-notes , and ultimately their subsequent ' possession to tho female prisoner . It was statwl that though Hammond , the fellow-clerk of Basset ; , had partly recovered from his severe attack of d'av iioea ho was not likely to bo well enough to attend that day Some trifling corrections were made in narts of the evidence , as taken down , by Mr . Edwin * tho
Mr . Lockwood , the surgeon , for instance , said that he did not state positively that the spots upon the coal-shovel were spots of blood . They might be rust , and probably were ; bnt he could iiot say positively whether they were rust or blood . Tha hair he found attached to it was not longer tlnn that of tho deceased . Tho reading of tho depositions was not over until three o ' clock , when tho witnesses were called on to sign them ; in the course of which proceeding Mr . Hammond ( who , when called , did not appear , iioinj-, as was stated , ill from an attack of diarrh .-: ^ was announced as having arrived , when his .- ^ .. ience was also read over to him and signed . Tno witnesses generally were than bound over to apivar at the October sessions , to he held at thc ' u-ntral trimi-ial Court , commencing October 22 Ihe prisoners wwe then called on to stmi'l upbut , on the application of Mr . Binns , tl . c male prisoner was allowed to remain sitting on tha ground of being extremely ill ; and helonkorl ™ .
Mr . Si , ow , who had possession of the teeth of the deceased , here produced them ; upon which William Cosley was examined . —He said , I am a dentist . I have examined a set of artificial tooth in . the possession of Mr . Slow . I made them fc . ¦ the deceased , Mr . Patrick O'Connor , in June , Hi " Mary Wells examined . —I reside at No . h Russell-strcet , Bormondsoy . I recollect tho male prisoner at the bar ( whom she identified ) , as Iiavinc come to my father ' s house and botidit sixp- nn £ worth of lime on a Monday . I nsked him what sort he would have-white or grey . lie said he ui'l not mind which ; ho wanted that which would hurt- the quickest . I told him I did not know which would bum the quickest . I told him we had no whits he
said he won d have the grey . He paid me tho sixponce , and desired the lime to be sent , asked for a pen and ink , and wrote a direction on a bit of paper , which I gave to the boy Walsh , who took home the lime . —By Mr . Binns : Tlie maid servant vas at home at the time . I spoke to Mr . Mnnnin * in tho yard . The servant was present ; hoi- namo is Ann iaylov . She is not here . She heani what Manning said on that occasion . I heard of this transaction through the boy Walsh . I spoke to Mr llayward yesterday about it . I did so then iV . r the first tune . I sought Mr . .

Harriet Feiimek . —I carry stay laces , i-c . . about the streets for sale . I remember ' being in the neighbourhood of Minver-place on a Friday , and Iwwing that a dead body bad been found .

She asked me bow much I would charge for cleaning part of tho house inside . I said fiveponco ; and she desired mo to come in . She asked me to wash some blinds . I said I could not do that , as I had
cut my hand , but that I would clean up tho back kitchen . She said she had cleaned both buck and front kitchen herself the day before . She afterwards said I n . ight do the b . nck kitchen . I notici-. ! there a basket , which was white as if from lime , and sho asked mo to clean it out for her . But I cou'J not do it on account of my hand . She then scrubbed the basket herself .

( Mentified tho prisoner Manning . ) Ho sent " me on that day to No . 3 , Minver-place , but I could not find it . He went out himself then , and brought back a bottle of brandy . Mrs . Bsiinbridu'e asked him i f hia wife was coining , and he said , " ' No , she ' s gone into the country . " I / cannot say exactly whether his answer was , " Sho is gone into the country , " or " I have sent her into the country , " but it wiis one or the other .
By Mr . Bixxs . —I was in the room lying fhn tea things when Mrs . Bainbridgc asked the question of Mr . Manning .

Mr .
