tion from hs brother , now parish priest of TemX more , near Th urles , couaty of TipperarV to a een ten « T mftm ^ firi ^ tT fie iH ^; Sfifca { ft * *? - * eeks after Ms first intn ? duction he called on this gentleman and much to hissurpme produccda £ 5 B note . ihne r ^ uttS tr . J ?^ ^ , " ^™ - The gentleman agreed JniSl ? ' f \ WlDS O'Connor ' s povertt , inquired how he became possessed of it . The latter fo - ? , had sen t Mm £ 15 , with which he natt purchased contraband tobacco and cigars , and trading surreptitiousl y in them , had amassed the amouut of the £ 30 note . Tho gentleman at the time behered tWs story to be true , and as O'Connor was then endeavouring to obtain a situation in the Excise , he told him ironically that his practical
knowledge of smuggling would , no doubt , if known to the Excise Comunssionero , prove a great recommendation iu his favour . Before the close of the year 1832 Patrick O'Connor had placed in the gentleman ' s hands no less altogether than £ 184 , £ 100 of which ths gentleman invested in the funds at O Connor ' s request . Ts . is rapid accumulation of money excited the gentleman ' s surprise , and almost His suspicions that everything was not right . In the wnter 1832-3 O'Connor obtained , through tho influence of the late Bishop of Llandaff , the situation of tide-waiter in the port of London . In the meantime he had been , bit by bit , withdrawing from the gentleman ' s hands the £ S 4 not invested , and got back the last of it to bur a bed . which he said
ne was obliged to take about with him from one ship to another in the Thames , in the discharge of his new duties , ire had hardly been installed in his situation of tide-waiter , when he sent an attorney ' s letter to the gentleman , demandin ? payment of the whole sum of £ 184 . The gentleman" had no acknow-^ ^ from <> Connor that he had received bac k * 8 iof it ; and probably legal proceedings would have been instituted , had not the gentleman , through his solicitor , who was afriend of the solicitor of 0 Connor , proved the latter ' s dishonesty by means of the gentleman ' s laundress , to whom u Connor , on discovering that she was a widow , with a pension of £ 2 G a year , and earning in the lemp-e as Laundress to several « entlemen nearlv
£ 100 a year besides , made a proposal of marriage , and showed her one evening £ 50 , which he said lie had just received from her master , being a portion of money lent to him . O ' Connor ' s solicitor on hearing this refased to have anything more to do irith him , and the gentleman sold out the stock to the amount of £ 100 , and through his solicitor returned O'Connor his money . After this transaction the gentleman made inquiries as to O'Connor ' s method of raising money , and found that he had got introduced to the late Bishop of Landafi ; Mr . Darby , M . P ., and several other proselctising Protestants , and that he knew of the Bexley fund , appropriated to the conversion of Roman Catholics . To these gentlemen O'Connor represented himself as one persecuted for Ms religious doubts by his brother , the Hoy . Dr . O'Connor , and other Catholic clergymen , and he also alleged , there not being the slightest ground for the trutn of
the allegation , that his brother had wronged him respecting money bequeathed to the family by the Misses Tobin , who had been nuns in the ancient rrsaline convent of Thurles . By these representations O'Connor insinuated himself into the good graces of the Bishop of Landaff , Mr . Darby , Mr . Broderick , the grandson of the then Archbishop of Cashel , the late Lady Osborne , mother of Mr . Bernal Osborne , M . P . for Middlesex , and others , and obtained from them not only large sums of money , but the situation that afterwards led to his connexion with the Customs as their guager in the London Docks . Promotion to the latter situation was owing to the influence of Mr . Sheil , M . P ., when one of the commissioners of Greenwich Hospital , and who was indebted for his election to represent Tipperary chiefly to the exertions of Dr . O'Connor , Father Lnffan , Mr . Phil Togarty , and other friends of O'Connor .
These facis , combined with . other 3 already disclosed , would certainly seem to indicate that the force of a sensual passion was not the only bond of intimacy between the murdered man and his supposed murderers . As the investigation , however , proceeds , the mystery which at present hangs over this and other parts of the case will no doubt be removed . On Monday Mr . « T . Solomon attended the Sonthwark Police Court for the purpose of making an application with reference to Maria Manning , charged with being concerned in the murder of Patrick O'Connor . lie produced a document , authorising him to act as solicitor to the accused , ¦ with her signature attached , which he had
procured from her that morning , in an interview he had with her in the infirmary of Horsemonger-lane gaol . Ilaving exhibited the authority referred to , Mr . Solomon then , addressing the magistrate ( Mr . Seeker ) said that , acting in conformity with his instructions , he waited on his worship to make a request on the behalf of his client to be furnished ¦ with a . copy of the depo itions of the witnesses who "were examined at that court on Friday last . He ¦ was the more anxious to procure the evidence already adduced against the prisoner as he was not present on the occasion , ar . d was therefore not in possession of the circumstances alleged against her . He was aware that it was not customary to be furnished with the depositions at so early a ' stage of the but
prosecution ; in a case of this description , where so serious and dreadful a charge was preferred against a woman in the prisoner ' s situation ; he trusted that the usual rule might be departed from in this instance , and that his application in her behalf might be acquiesced in . Mr . Solomon added that wren the prisoner was placed at the bar on Friday last , it was shortly after having performed a long journey from Scotland , and that from the fatigue consequent upon it , together with the di e idful nature of the charge preferred against her , it was not probable that she could be presumed to have a recollection of what did transpire on the occasion with respect to the hearing of the evidence as applied to herself , aad this it was that made it incumbent on him to apply fora copy of the depositions already taken down , in order ' that she mi"ht
have an opportunity , through him , of putting any questions that might be thought necessary to the witnesses previously examined . —Mr . Seclcer said that very little evidence had been taken as yet at this court against the prisoner—merely what was considered sufficient grounds upon which to justify a remand . It was not the rule , certainly , to furnish the professional advisers of a prisoner with the depositions at so earl y a stage of the investigation , but under the peculiar circumstances of the case in question he should permit the applicant to have access to the minutes of the evidence already taken down , in order to guide him as to his future conduct of the defence intrusted to his management by the party accused . —Mr . Solomon having expressed his tliauks , then withdrew . KQUEST .
The adjourned inquest on the body of Mr . O'Connor was resumed on Monday . The " evidence was important . IV . Kirk , a cabman , deposed to having taken two boxes iu which some of the deceased ' s property was found , to the South Western Railway , and leaving them there by direction of Mrs . Manning . Mr . Hatses , inspector of police , stated that he searched the boxes : —None of the articles bear the initiate , " O'C . " "Witness handed three silver spoons to the coroner , one with a crest , and two from which the crest seemed to have been erased . He also produced the skirt of a plaid dress , which
was in the small box , the internal lining of which he said was marked with what he believed to be blood , from the bottom to the top , where it was joined to the body . He also produced the body of the dress , which appeared to have been recently washed ; also two small toilet covers , edged with lace , spotted and splashed in the same way , but the marks are more the colour of iron-mould than of blood , though evidently produced by some liquid . Mr . Moxat , superintendent of the Edinburgh police , detailed the circumstances of Mrs . Manuing ' s capture with the railway scrip , formerly belonging to O'Connor , in her possession .
Ass Hakmer , the landlady of the house where O'Connor lodged , siid that from Thursday , the 9 th , to the Monday following , no one but her sister and herself had access to Mr . O'Connor ' s apartments , except Mrs . Manning . Th . e Coroxer , in summing up , begged of the jury to dismiss from their minds everything they mi > ht haveread on the subject of the alleged murder , and to consider only the evidence . Having referred to the nature of the wounds inflicted on the deceased , and also to the secreted position of the body , he thought that the jury would at once conclude that these wouuds must have been inflicted by some other person or persons than the deceased himself Then came the question who the person or persons
were that could have been indueed to takeaway his life . . He referred particularly to the evidence of Superintendent Moxay , showing Mrs . Manning to be in possession of railway shares and Bank of England notes which were proved to hare been the property of the deceased . It was for the jury to decide whether the deceased was murdered for the purpose of obtaining this property , and whether there was any other person in the house at No . 3 , Minver-place , when the murder was committed , tnan Mr . and Mrs . Manning , and whether , in fact , there was not sufficient evidence , looking particularly to that of Mr . Massie , and to that which relate * to the purchase of the shovel , to bring the guilty act home to those two parties
. The room was then cleared ( half-past nine 0 clock ) , and the jury , after deliberating for half an hour , came to the following verdict : - "We are nanimously of opinion that the deceased , Patrick O Connor has been brutally murdered by George Frederick Manning and Maria Manning . " The Mowing parties in reference to the tragedy may probably be read with interest- - Tue circumstances wader which , O'Connor made

the acquaintance of Maria de Roux are thus described by an intimate personal friend of the deceased . In the early part of the year 1846 , O'Connor having obtained a fortnight ' s leave of absence took it into his head to go to Boulogne . He erabarked at London Bridge Wharf , on board one of the London and Boulogne boats , in which Maria de Roux was also a passenger , sho being then on her way to join Lady Blantyre on the Continent In the evening after all the other passengers had retned to bed , O Connor and Maria de Roux were left together in the saloon cabin , and hore their first intimacy commenced . She appears to have communicated her name and the position she occu-1 pied to O'Connor , without any reserve , for unon his
return to England he mentioned the fact of having met such a lady to his friend , and expressed his intention of calling upon her at Stafford-house , as soon as she returned from the Continent . That he did so , and that a correspondence was kept up between the two parties for some time is also known , O'Connor having frequently spoken of visits he had made to Stafford-house , and also exhibited letters received from Maria de Roux . One of these letters indicated that De Roux was expecting or desiring that O'Connor should make her his wife ; for she asks him , " Of what good is it to continue our correspondence ? You never speak of marriage . " Among his friends the deceased made no secret of his intimacy with Maria do Roux , but he never led
any of them to believe that he had any serious intention of marrying her . His object seemed rather to be to make it appear that he had great influence over her , and that she was very fond of him . There "is no doubt whatever that Manning married Do Roux , in the hope that , through the influence of the noble family in which sho had resided , he might obtain an appointment under the government . It appears that he actually did obtain a letter from a member of that family which he personally delivered to the Premier , soliciting the situation of a landing waiter . Lord John Russell asked Manning what situation he had previously filled , and upon being informed that he had been a guard upon the Great Western Railway , his
lordship said that he could not recommend him for the appointment he sought , but he would at once give him a messenger ' s place , with a salary of £ 80 a year , if he thought it worth accepting . Manning at once declined the Premier ' s offer , and has been frequently heard to upbraid himself since for not having deceived the Minister as to his former calling , and thus rendered himself eligible for a landing-waiter ' s situation . The brother of Manning , through the same interest , actually did obtain a situation as a messenger in the Board of Trade Office , from which he has only very recently been dismissed in consequence of some quarrel with his brother officers . Manning and his wife entered upon the occupation of the " Old King John ' s Head" public-house in Mansfield-street , Kingsland-road , early in October of last year . The house is in Goding ' s tradeand both
, Manning and his brother were in the frequent habit of visiting the " Waterman ' s Arms" in the Belvidere-road—the well known taphouse to that brewery—during his occupancy of the "Old King ' s John ' s Head , " which , however , only lasted until January in the present year . A fact in connexion with this circumstance may here be stated , viz . : that a quantity of scrip and shares , and , we believe , some of the very numbers found upon Mrs . Manning , and supposed to have been stolen after the murder of the deceased , were deposited in Messrs . Goding ' s hands as security for the house in question while Manning had it . Durin " their occupancy Mrs . Manning once paid a visit to the brewery and made an unsuccessful attempt to obtain possession of them , failing in which she became greatly excited , and left in a violent passion .
CAPTURE OF MANNING , AT JERSEY . " From the Jersey Timts . ) We are enabled to announce the gratifying fact Manning was captured on Monday evening , about nine o ' clock , and safely lodged in prison . He arrived in this island last Thursday week , 16 th inst ., and took lod gings at Mr . Berry ' s , the Navy Arms , in Mulcaster-street , where he remained until the following Thursday morning , and on his then leaving , desired that his bed should be kept for him , as he would return on Saturday . While there , he went out early in the morning and returned in the evening generally under the influence of liquor , of which he drank more before he retired for the night . He had once arranged with the captain of a sailing
vessel to go with him early in the morning to Guernsey , but he did not get up in time . From his quitting the Navy Arms , until yesterdaj , there was no direct trace of him ; he took lodgings on Thursday last at Mr . Bertheau ' s , a private house a little off the St . Aubin ' s road , on this side the third tower , while there he kept very close , and mi ght have remained longer concealed but for the notice taken of his so frequently sending to the same house for a bottle of brandy . This caused a suspicion , and information was given to "Mr . Centcnier Chevalier , who immediately repaired to the place , accompanied by two officers of the London Detective Police , ono of whom was well acquainted with Manning , from his having had to do with him in the affair of the
mail robbery on the Great Western Railway , for which Pooleand Nightingale were convicted . " On arriving at the house it was ascertained that the lodger was in bed , and admirable arrangements were made for getting a sight of his face , and securing him before he could offer any resistance . He was , however , easily captured , and was in a very nervous state . Near him was a bottle of liquor and a razor , ne immediately recognised Mr . Edward Langley , of the London police , and stated that he was glad he had come , as he was thinking of going to London to explain all . One of his first questions was , " Is the wretch taken ? "—alluding to his wife ; and , on being answered in the affirmative , he
observed , " I am glad of it—that will save my life . " In subsequent conversation he endeavoured to throw the whole blame on the woman , and stated that she had caused the grave to be dug some time before ; and , after having laid the cloth for dinner , had invited O'Connor down stairs to wash his hands , ar . d while he was going to the kitchen for that purpose , had taken the opportunity of firing at him from behind . The prisoner admitted that all the things in the room where he was lodging belonged to him , adding that he had found a man to give him twelve pounds for his furniture in London—all the money he had to start with , of which seven sovereigns which he gave up was the remainder .
On his arrival at the Navy Arms , in Mulcasterstreet , his first inquiry was to sec the Times newspaper . —During his stay there he regularly breakfasted and supped with tke other guests , but rarely dined with them . He carried himself rather high , talked of his losses by the French revolution , that he must go to France , and should require an interpreter , as he did not speak the language . —During the passage from Southampton he had forced himself upon a respectable passenger , with whom he shared a double-bedded room , but to whom , as well as to several masters of vessels , and others in the house , he so behaved as to render himself anything but a favourite . He always evinced a great desire to see
the newspapers , and on Saturday , the 19 th , ho went to the Union Hotel on purpose to read the Times . —At the Navy Arms he paid regularly for everything he had , including a glass of brandy , before he went away . This , coupled with his leaving a trunk , a coat , a pair of trowsers , &c , made the host fully expect his return . Southampton , Wedxesdat . — Owing to there being no warrant to demand Manning from the Jersey authorities , he is not expected in Southampton before Monday evening next . Mr . Wkicher , of the London detective force ,. wss in Southampton at th e time the news of his capture arrived there , and telegraphed it to the Secretary of State .
We understand that the capture was made by the governor , his son , Serjeant Langley , and Constable Lockycr . The last two officers had been out all day on Monday pursuing their search , when . while returning to their quarters about half-past nine in the evening , the landlord of the house in which Manning was staying beckoned them to him , and stated that he hadgotamaninbed whom he strongly suspected was the man they were looking after , so nearly did he answer the description of the persou charged with the murder of O'Connor ,- as printed and circulated by the police authorities .
It would ssem that the officers did not immediately act without the presence of one of the local authorities , and the governor was sent for , and he soon arrived , accompanied by his son . All four then proceeded to the room in which Manning lay , and a sight of his face having been obtained , the governor threw himself upon Manning and secured him , but the latter offered no resi tance whatever . Inspector Haynes , accompanied by a constable , has this morning started fur Jersey , with the neces sary warrant for the removal of the prisoner to the metropolis . ( From our Second Edition of lost xveeh ) ARRIVAL OF MRS . MANNING IN LONDON
On Friday morning , at five o ' clock , Mrs . Manning arrived at tie Euston-station of the North-Western Railway ( in custody of three officers of the Edinburgh police ) by the mail-train from Edinburgh Inspector Sheppy and Sergeant Durkin , of the A division , were in readiness to take charge of the prisoner . She was very respectabl y dressed in a brown silk gown , light shawl , white straw bounet , and a white veil over her face . She walked with a firm step from the carriage , across the platform , to a cab that was in readiness .
EXAMINATION OF MRS . MANNING AT THE SOUTHWARK POLICE OFFICE . Ma * k Manning was brought before the magistrate of the Southwark police-office on Fr iday morning , charged by Inspector Yates on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder of Mr . Patrick O'Connor , oh Thursday , the 9 th inst ., at No . 3 Minver-place , Xe \ Y Weston-street , JBiMwadsey !

Some time previous to her entering the court she inquired if it was much crowded , and being answered in the negative , she seemed rather pleased . Mr . Seeker , the magistrate , having taken his seat on the bench about half-past ono o ' clock , ordered the prisoner to be placed at the bar . The command , which was immediately communic ated to her , she obeyed with the utmost tang froid , and walked " with perfect calmness and self-possession to the place assigned to her . She was well dressed , we should even say lady-like in her appearance . Neither in feature ner in accent does she make known she is a foreigner . On her entrance there was no manifestation of feolintr , although the
court was very much crowded , owing , no doubt , to a judicious intimation from Mr . Edwin , the clerk , before the magistrate took his seat , that if any such were to take place the court would be cleared . On being placed at the bar she replied , in answer to a question put to her by direction of the magistrate , that she had sent to engage a solicitor , but understood he was ill , and could not attend . —Inspector Field said she had sent for Mr Games , but that he could not attend . Inspector Yates having been examined , the magistrate remanded her until next Friday , and she left the dock as unconcernedl y as she entered it , and was immediately after driven off to Horsemonger-lane gaol in a van . The entire proceedings occupied but a few minutes
ADJOURNED INQUEST . The inquest en the body of Patrick O'Connor , adjourned from Saturday last , was resumed at eleven o clock yesterday forenoon , in the Leather-Market Tavern , Leather-market , Bermondsoy , before Mr . Carter , coroner for the eastern division of the county of Surrey , and again adjourned till ten o ' clock on Monday next .

WORSHIP-STREET . - A Candidate for the Gallows . —F . G . Menzies , who described himself as a compositor and pressman , was charged with having given himself into custody under the name ofF . G . Manning , and falsely represented that he had taken an active part in the late atrocious murder at Bermondsey . —Police-constable Gourley , H 192 , stated that while on duty in Church-street / Shoreditch , between three and four o ' clock that morning , the prisoner advanced towards him , and abruptly inquired whether he would not like to secure the reward of £ 50 which had been offered by government for the apprehension of Manning , the urderer
m . Witness replied that it would certainly afford him satisfaction if he were able to secure the perpetrator of such an atrocity , to which the prisoner rejoined , " Then , now is your time ; for I am the murderer Manning , and I am anxious to surrender myself to justice . " The prisoner at the time appeared to be greatly excited ; and , in a tone of extreme despondency , entered into a minute detail of the circumstances connected with the murder , and exhibited the silver cigar-holder now produced , which he alleged had formed a portion of the property he had found upon the person of his unfortunate victim . Witness put several questions to him , with a view of testing the truth of his representations , in reply to which the prisoner declared that , in order to elude the
vigilance of the police , he had fled to Birmingham immediately after the commission of the murder , and had since been wandering about the country , until his feelings of remorsa and contrition became so insupportable that he resolved to return to London , and deliver himself up to the first policeman he happened to meet with . The prisoner was thereupon conveyed to the station-house , on reaching which he at once retracted the whole of his previous statement , and disclosed his real name and address , the authenticity of which was afterwards confirmed by the landlord of a public-house in the Kingsland-road , to whom he referred aa a voucher for his respectability . —In reply to questions from the magistrate , the prisoner intimated that he had been for some time on officer of Excise , but having recently lost his situation , in consequence of a reduction in that department , he had resumed his original occupation of a compositor in
the service of a master printer in Philpot-lanc , and was truly sorry for having conducted himself in the manner described upon the present occasion , which he attributed to intoxication . — Mr . Kendall , the prisoner ' s employer , came forward and spoke in favourable terms of his general character , but said that he was addicted at times to habits of intemperance , and he had no doubt that he had acted under tho influence of intoxication in tho present instance . — Mr . Arnold regretted that he had no power to visit the foolish and mischievous conduct of the prisoner with an adequate punishment , as it was calculated most seriously to mislead the police , and to induce a relaxation in their exertions for the apprehension of a murderer , upon the supposition that he was already in custody ; but he should ovdcv him to pay the usual drunkard ' s penalty of 5 s ., and require him to enter into recognisances to be of good behaviour for tho next six months .
CLERKENWELL . — Another Personatob op Manning . —The neighbourhood of this court , and its avenues , were crowded to excess , and the utmost interest was manifested in consequence of a report being circulated that Manning , the murderer of Mr . Patrick O'Connor , was in custody , as having surrendered himself at Bagnigc Wells station-house . The prisoner , it appeared , on Saturday night called at the station-house under the excitement of liquor , and represented himself as being Manning , the murderer . He appeared very disturbed in his mind , and said that his conscience made him miserable , and he determined on delivering himself up to justice . On being searched , five £ 5 Bank of England notes were found in his possession .
He was locked up until ho became sober , and on being questioned , he said his name was Frederick Jackson , and he was quite unconscious of having surrendered himself as Mr . Patrick O'Connor ' s murderer . On being placed at the bar he appeared extremely dejected and expressed his sorrow , saying that he had never had the' honour of Patrick O'Connor ' s acquaintance , and never dreamt of having murdered that gentleman . —Mr . Inspector Hardy , G , said he had caused inquiries to be made , and had ascertained that the prisoner was a hawker , and respectable in his calling . —Mr . Combe remonstrated with him on the necessity of not putting " an enemy into his mouth to steal away his brains , " and advised him to " got away , " and " sin no more , "—
In the course of Sunday ni g ht tho police of this district , in consequence of information that Manning was at several p laces , were dispersed in various directions ; but in every instance they found that the real murderer was out of their grasp . WESTMINSTER . - Embezzlement . - Edward Reeves Leutzonich , principal clerk in the establishment of Messrs . Mares , house-agents , Lower Belgrave-street , Pimlico , was placed at tho bar , charged with embezzling largo sums of money . — Mr . Ballantine appeared for the prosecution , and Mr . Humphreys for the prisoner . —Mr . Ballantine having briefly stated the case , called tho following witnesses : —Mr . John Mares stated that the prisoner entered into the service of the firm in January 147
S , and it was his particular duty to attend to the house-agency department , see those who wanted to let , and obtain the rents from those who were occupants . A house was let by the firm , belonging to a gentleman named Fletcher , te a Mr . Harris , for £ 300 rent . Prisoner had never accounted to him for the money . A house belonging to the Hon . A . Liddcll had also been let to a lady named Burgoyne for 420 guineas to be paid in two instalments . If he had received the whole of that it would have been his duty to have accounted to him for it . — Mi * . John Harris , of Chester-square , stated that he took a house from Mr . Fletcher upon the agveement spoken of . He paid the prisoner £ 100 on the . 19 th of March , at the time of signing the agreement a
second sum of the same amount on the 13 th of Julv , and the September one by anticipation on the 17 th inst . —The lion . Adolphus Liddell , leaseholder of a house , 7 , Lowndes-squave , proved that he had let the house spoken of to a lad y named Buro : ovne from the 20 th February to the end of July S 420 guineas . In May ho received from the prisoner 210 guineas , less the agency commission . A short time since while on the Northern circuit , ho wrote to Messrs Mares , requesting them to receive the residue of the rent on his account . Prisoner both wrote and came , denying that he had received it a , d made some excuses , alleging that a Miss Blaokett iLRL ^ l'iW « tate d tKat

of Health , to appoint three extra medical officers addition to those already employed in the parish . — Previously to the evidence being entered into , Mr . Bodkin shortly addressed the magistrate , observing that he appeared to support the complaint on the part of tho Board of Health . That the order in question not having been complied with , the Board of Health considered it incumbent on them to adopt the present proceedings witll th « view Of Compelling the gentlemen composing the board of guardians of St . George's to appoint extra medical officers for that extensive parish . He then referred to the mortality that had occurred in St . Georges ' s , owing to the cholera , and the necessity there was for supplying other medical officers in addition to those
already engaged , and whose services , since the breaking out of the epidemic , were constantly in requisition . It was raost important that the dwellings of the poor should be visited , and this could not be carried out to the extent that was required , unless an addition was made to the medical staff ; for it was a well-known fact , when the premonitory symptoms of tho disease made its appearance skilful treatment in the majority of instances had tho effect , in numberless cases , of subduing the disease . This was a circumstance well known to the Board of Health , and when i t was attended to the most benefiicial results were experienced . Such , however , was the supineness of the poorer classes with respect to attending to the incipient symptoms of the epidemic , that m most cases they did not apply for medical aid until it had advanced to a stage that gave but slight hope of recovery . And this
exemplified in a striking degree the paramount importance of having extra medical men engaged to assist in the performance of such one rous duties , especially in a parish which was visited with the pestilence to such _ an extent . The learned gentleman added , that since he had entered the cowt he hail had an opportunity of consulting with Mr . Fitch , the clerk to the board of guardians of St . George ' s , on the subject , and the result of which was , that it would not now bo necessary to proceed with the evidence in support of the summons against the guardians , who had given their assent . And , therefore , upon this understanding , he would appl y that the summons might stand over for a week , in order to give them due time for making the necessary addition to the medical staff of the parish . —Mr . Seeker at once assented to the application , and the parties retired .
THAMES . —A Gang op Burglars . —Thomas Cooper , a silk weaver , George Jones , a carpenter , Francis Peacock , a professional burglar , who has retired for some time past , a reward having been offered for his apprehension respecting a burglary committed a short time since at Islington , and William Pearse , a butcher , known by the slang term " Satch , " were brought up for re-examination , charged with the commission of several daring burglarios in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel . —On Tuesday week Cooper and Jones were brought up , charged with breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr . Joseph Cohen , clothier , 49 , Prescott-street , Whitechapel . They were arrested on leaving the house by Kelly and Gifford , the " office" havini ;
been given to on , e of them , who was on the watch , by some women who no doubt were acting in concert with them . On that occasion Peacock and Pearse escaped , but they were captured and brought up by Kelly and Gifford , on Saturday last , when evidence was adduced to warrant a remand , Kelly assuring the magistrate that he and Gifford would in the interim produce evidence to establish several other cases of burglary against them . Three other daring cases have also been gone into . The first was that of Mr . Alfred Abbott , upholstery horse-hair manufacturer , Anchor-street , Bethnal-sjreen , whose warehouse , which formed part of his dwelling-house , was broken into about three weeks since , when 160 yards of hair seating and a ouantitv of drawn hair
to the value of about £ 53 , were abstracted . The place appeared to have been entered through a cellar , which was in a very insecure state . —Sergeant Kelly proved that the marks in the cellartrap , as well as those made in forcing Mr . Abbott ' s counting-house , corresponded with great exactness with a ripping chisel oi peculiar construction found on Cooper when arrested for the burglary at Mr . Cohen ' s . —The next case gone into was a burglary committed at the House of Mr . Edward Roundtree proprietor of the Weavers' Arms , Baker ' s-row } to tho rear of the Pavilion Theatre , Whitechapel , last Friday night week . The fellows selected that night , being aware that the salaries of tho actors would bo left there for payment next day . About
five o ' clock in the morning of Saturday week , Mr . Roundtree , who had no boy at the time , was going down to assist the servant girl in opening the shop , when the latter rushed up , crying out , " Oh , sir , there have been thieves here . " On goin ^ down he found that his dog , a fine bull terrier ef the larger breed , was dead . It had evidently been drugged in the first instance , but the poison not operating with sufficient rapidity , its head had been " stove m , probably with the formidable weapon with which Cooper rushed at Kelly , and which , after a desperate struggle , was wrested from him by Gifiord , when the attempt was made to rob Mr . Cohen s house on Monday week . After killing the dog , which Mr . Roundtree seemed to feel tlm
deepest loss , tho thieves broke open a sccvetavy and took £ 7 m copper , some silver spoons , two silvev mugs , and other property to a considerable amount . The whole affair was conducted with the utmost deliberation , and had the fellows , who arc young , active , and determined-looking , been disturbed at their work , fatal results must have followed . They drank three bottles of wine , and carried with them a fourth for further consumption . — bergeant Kelly here observed that as Mr . Abbott ' s case was ono most susceptible of proo ^ ho should wish the case remanded for further inquiry into the eiroumstnnccs . There were several other cases which required to be inquired into , and which he had little doubt of being able to establish against the prisoners . One was where a burglary had been fr !!! i ^ A z l ey ' s « n ^ tenSivedrvsalter

Recovery of the Lost Journals of ma House op Lords . —It may bo recollected that at the « reat conflagration of tho nouses of Parliament , which took place m 1834 , several books and important papers were either lost or consumed , amongst which were some of the manuscript journals of the House of Lords . Within these few days , however it lm been ascertained that a portion of tho latter at least was not consumed , and their existence was brought to light m a most singular manner . It appears that a few days since a gentleman residing at ffalworth was passing along the Walworth-road , when his attention v ? as attracted by somo old books , &c , m too shop of Mr . Terry , cheesemonger , at the corner of Amelia-street , and which the latter had purchased as waste paper . On closer inspection in
uwoumvu no ess tnan twelve books which appwr ed to be the journals or daily minutes of tile proceedings of tho House of Lords , comprising th ! following dates : —1780 , 1781 , 1787 ltasi ?* £ 1790 , 17 § 1 , 1792 , 1798 , 1799 , 1801 , 1803 1805 So ' The gentleman , accordingly , on Monday purchased one of tho apparent journals , with which ho re p aired to the ibrary of the House of Lords to leam if it was genuine , when some of the parties fi instantly detained it , and having been informed where tho rest was , on Tueaday momiS Sree messengers proceeded to Mr . Terry's and ™ l chased the whole twelve , which real proved J be " the actual journals of the above-nameYdates The price they paid for those important documents was merely that of common waste paper , being no more than * 1 los for nearly one cwfc . The i ™ nt given by Mr . Terry is , that he , some timo ^ ff tnem
purcnasea , wit x nearly a ton wei ght of other papers , at a sate of tho effects of a late Mr Stone of the librarians of the House ot Lords 2 they came to remain so long in that gentiemaK possession , or tobo mingled with hia prfvate X" ? is at present involved in mystery , it W nnf ?

¦ NATIONAL CO-OPERATIVE BENEFIT SOCIETY . TO TlIE BniTOR OP THE NOUTHBRN 8 TAR . Sir , —Will you permit me to set myself right with the members of the above Society , and the country at large , respecting the truth of the following passage in the address of the " Trust . es , and which appeared in the Star of last week ?—" Thomas Clark paid a sufficient sum to constitute him a member , and shortly after claimed and received £ 10 on account of his wife ' s death , receiving tho money in August , 1848 , and has not contributed a farthing since . " I joined the Society at the time of its establishment in May , 1847 , and at the period when t he benefit was paid to me—I had been fourteen months a paying member , that is from the commencement
of the Society down to the time when I was overtaken by the calamity before mentioned . I was one of tho earliest members of the Society , and in receiving the money , had given to mo only what was my right and what I had paid for . It is true , as the " Trustees have stated , that I have not paid any money since August , 1848 ; but why is it true ? By an express rule of the Society it is made tho imperative duty of the Secretary , at the close of each quarter to make up the books , and forward a written notice to each defaulting member of the amount dvie by him to the Society , and requiring his payment of the same . The rule further provides that "in tho ovent of the Secretary neglecting to forward such notice , he shall be fined
sixpence in each case for such neglect . Was such notice ever forwarded to me ? No ; but , on tho contrary , I more than once , twice , or thrice required of Stallwood to let mo know exactly how I stood with the Society , and upon the last occasion , when I insisted wpoa knowing my liabilities to the Society , and paying the money , Stallwood actually had the effrontery to refuse to receive my money , on the ground that I had neglected to comply with the rides w not making my payments at the proper stated times , and that I was therefore excluded . . To the truth of this assertion Messrs . Dixon and M'Grath are prepared to make oath , as they were both present on the occasion and heard all that transpired . It was then that I discovered why all my inquiries respecting
my position with the Society had been studiously and systematically evaded . My arrears had been allowed purposely to accumulate , so that I should be debarred from looking too narrowly into the state of the Society ' s affairs . It was highly desirable to get rid of one who was likely to prove troublesome , and hence the trick of neglecting to furnish mo with any statement of my accounts with the Society , which it was the duty of tho Secretary to have furnished . But supposing that I had wilfully neglected to have paid my subscription for some months , what was tno object of refusing to receive my money ?—I had already received £ 10 out of the Society ' s funds ; I had neglected , say , to pay my subscriptions
lor some months ; but I insist upon paying all duce and demands , and the Secretary imperiously refuses to receive them , and thus are the other members out of whose joint subscriptions—along with my own—I had received the advance of £ 10 , deprived of the advantage of receiving my subscriptions m return . In all other benefit societies , the managers are but too happy to receive the arrears of their members , even where the subscriptions have been regularly demanded at the proper time ; but in cases like mine , where members have received benefits , every facility is afforded for the payment of arrears . They never think of refusing the subscriptions of members so circumstanced . I am a young healthy man , likely to have paid
into the Society for many years to come—almost certain to repay muchmorethanlhavereceived , but my subscriptions are refused because it is desirable to get rid of me . And mark , Mr . Editor , all this done , too , without the sanction of any committee , and practised towards one of tho Directors of the Society . Such a thing was never known as the exclusion of a member for the purpose of smothering inquiry . There was no Committee , no " Trustees , " no Treasurer , no anything but Stallwood , except the Directors , and the very moment they attempted to enforce their authority , and secure the property of the members , tho Secretary laughs at them , and knowingly reminds them " that they
have no power . " No power in the Directors ? No ! —The Society is not enrolled , and all the property in money and goods was in the name of Stallwood , and therefore he could mock the Directors with impunity > The "Trustees , " in their production of last week ' accuse the Directoi' 3 of seeking the annihilation of Stallwood . Stuff ! « Annihilate StalWood . " How ridiculous ! The Directors preferred against Stallwood the following charges : — That he has taken from the funds of tho Society nearly double the amount to which he was entitled * . That he had paid himself the full rent of his own house out of the funds of the Society , for what ho was pleased to call " Office rent . "
That ho kept largo sums of money out of the bank , and which sums of money would have been realising interest for the members , had not Stallwood kept it in his own possession . That the state of his books and of the general affairs of the vSociety , proved him to be incapacitated through mcompetency from acting as secretary . The " Trustees , " who have only been in existence a few weeks , oppose to these charges vague generalities , and clumsy attempts at personalities ; which , however , are wholly inoperative , especially when meant as an answer to the statements above set forth .
In conclusion , sir , I assure you that neither myself nor the other Directors , would have taken so much trouble with this matter , were it not for the fact that the Society was established entirely upon confidence in the Directors , and that they arc bound to have the affair clearly sifted , which tliev are yet determined upon doing . Thomas Claim London , August 29 .
