She . is, we ed young lady, and of _ Her acquaintance and marriage with the prisoner, had its origin, as has been stated, in a matrimonial advertisement inserted by him in the newspapers. At first her friends took great umbrage at the mar riage ; but from the exemplary conduct• of the pri soner afterwards, this feeling gradually , subsided. The passport to France obtained by the prisoner in December last, and found by Lea among his papers, was procured at the instance of his wife, who, hav ing been educated there, had formed intimacies which she was anxious to renew. The reason why the intention was abandoned does not appear. On the termination of the proceedings, the pri soner, on seeing from the window the Coroner and Jury retire, expressed his anxiety to know what was the result. Before an answer could he re turned, he said he anticipated what it would be, and added, that so far as regarded himself, he was prepared to meet the worst, but the thought of so disgracing his friends was more than he could bear. His brother-in-law endeavoured to console him , and having partially succeeded, he was visited by his legal adviser, Mr. Humphreys, who had a long con ference with him.

ON PUBLIC OPINION.—LoNnoN, 182 S. This is a metaphysical Treatise on the tise, Pro gress, and present State of Public Opinion throughout Europe, drawn up with much ingenuity, and if we ex cept a few occasional prejudices, with considerable ad herence to historical correctness. The author sets out by defining public opinion as the sentiments of the most intellectual and moral members of society, and draws a neat line of distinction between it and popular clamour. He asserts—and none will dispute his axiom—that it is coeval with, and attendant on, the formation and growth of the middling class ; and that its influence will al ways bear an exact proportion to the power and extension of that order. He then proceeds to define the constituent parts of the middle class,which he ranges under three different heads, each of which he distinguishes by the number of hands it can com mand, t. e. by the proportion of its wealth—the only criterion of power in a coitmercial country. Having defined this class, the author enters into a detail of its rise in England, in the course of which he gives a very• ably abridged epitome of our history from the period of the Norman Conquest to the present era. His cursory remarks on the policy of Henry VII., with respect to the , formation or improvement of a middle class, deserve very respectful attention.— When, however, he comes to the stormy times of the Commonwealth, his prejudices interfere with 1 1 his better sense; he underrates the Cromwellian dynasty, we think, unjustly, and gives it far too much the appearance of a faction. When he adds that Oliver never possessed the affections of his army, he asserts what neither coternporary nor sub sequent history will corroborate. Our limits, unfor tunately, prevent us from doing the justice to this book that its author's talents demand. We cannot, however, conclude without expressing one high sense of the discriminating style in which his details ".On . the State of Public Opinion in Spain and Portugal," are managed. He seems quite at home on this part of his subject. Should his work reach a second edition, we would recom mend the author to expunge those passages which convey an apprehension, and are to be taken as an apology for tediousness. No man is tedious who has any thing to say for himself, it is only a prosing sentence-spinner, like the Member for So mersetshire, with whom words stand in the place of ideas, that need apologise for occasioning ennui. We nevor thought, a few months ago, that we should ever have been called upon by a sense of justice to eulogise tip:: conduct of our military Premier in a branch of domestic policy :—but when we hear a Minister, in the face ,t the House of Lords, advocate, in reference to the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, such sentiments as that " he was not one of those who considered that the best means of preserving the constitution of this country was by adhering to measures, which had been called for by particular circumstances, because they had been in exist ance for 200 years ; since the lapse of time might render it proper to modify, if nut to remove them altogether ;" we think no longer of what title he bears—nor to what party he belongs, but at once recognise him by hi s o pi n i ons as a brother liberal and a reformist.--Indeed we are much mis taken if the opposition which the Duke meets with from the Ultras of his party, and the abuse which their hirelings are now beginning to pour on his devoted head, for what they call his apostacy, does not eventually make him a complete radical. The barometer of public opinion is cer tainly rising in his favour ; and this in proportion to his falling in the consideration of such as Lords ELnoN, KEN YON, BROWNLOW, Stc. &C.--•lNews. BLACKFACED SHEEP.--It was formerly mentioned that the blackfaced sheep were rising in the esti mation of the amateurs of goad living in London, and that GO carcases had been sent off to one company of fleshers in that city by the Soho. On Saturday last 101 carcases were sent off by tie City of Edinburgh for the same Com pany. This growing tratfic is likely to be of some import ance to the proprietors of large sheep farms, both in the North and West Highlands.— Caledonian Mercury. Accordingly, between the hours of seven and eight, he was handcuffed and placed in a post-chaise under the charge of Lea. Prior to leaving tile Finall upper room in which he had been detained through the day, he requested to have a glass of rum, whi c h was supplied to him, and appeared to give a momentary excitation to his spirits, which by this time were reduced to the extreme of depression. It was anticipated that the peasantry would have immediately dispersed after the verdict was an nounced, especially as it had been purposely given out that the removal of the prisoner would not take place until the following day, but the contrary proved to be the case. On the prisoner being brought out, the concourse of the peasantry was: so great around the chaise, that it was with difficulty a way could be made for him. No officer besides Lea ac companied him,—a circumstance at which he seemed pleased, probably from a desire to avoid the gaze and the inquiries of the officers of the village, to whom he had been known under far different circumstances. The curtains of the chaise were drawn down immediately, yet still they were followed for a considerable distance by crowds of curious people. On passing the residence of his mother, the prisoner heaved a deep sigh, and in a half suppressed voice exclaimed, " Oh my poor mother !" On passing through Boxford, the public curiosity was very great, the prisoner being known to most of the towns-people, who surrounded the chaise, and impeded its progress. At Layenham they stopped at the request of the prisoner, and had some ale and a slice of bread and butter. Although this place is distant near twenty miles from the scene of the murder, the chaise was beset on all sides during the few minutes they stayed. The house thew stopped at was kept by a Mr. Gooch. The landlord himself supplied the refreshments, and addressing the prisoner, with whose father it ap pears he was intimately acquainted, said, " lam much distressed at seeing you in this situation— shake hands. God bless you." A number of other persons pressed forward to take farewell of the accused, but the officer very properly ordered the postillion to proceed. As the chaise was approaching the town of Bury, the prisoner observed that he had been far differently situated in that town a year and a half ago; for he then attended to prosecute a man for stealing his mother's corn, and who was convicted and sentenced to a year's imprisonment. After a pause, the prisoner said there were two things he wished for—that was a Bible and a Prayer-book. Lea told him he would be provided with them in the gaol. He said the world was now nothing to him, but still he wished his wife could be with him in the gaol, as no person could more contribute to his comfort, for she was a truly pious woman, and would do more for him than a Minister of the Gospel. Lea told him he did not know what the regulations of the gaol might be, but he would inquire, and if it were consistent with them, he had no doubt it would be granted. The prisoner replied, if it could, he would take private lodgings for her in the town. At 11 o'clock at night the chaise arrived at the gaol, when the prisoner was taken out, and deli vered over to Mr. Orridge, the governor. The pri soner, on taking leave of Lea, thanked him for the kind manner in which he had performed his duty, and presented him with an embroidered purse, which he said had been worked by his wife, and which he hoped be would keep for his sake; at the same time expressing his regret that he had not his watch about him to offer as a more substantial proof of his gratitude. Lea asked the governor if the favour requested by the prisoner could be granted ; to which he replied that it was out of the question, and that he could only be seen, as in the case of other pri• soners, through the grating. Before leaving Polstead, the prisoner pointed out to Lea a number of fields which he said had been farmed by his poor father. After an interval, in which he appeared to be buried in thought, he said, " Mr. Lea, what verdict have the Jury returned ? I have not yet heard it." Lea replied, "a verdict of wilful murder against William Corder." The prisoner said nothing, nor did he appear much sur prised at the announcement. Several of the Jurors, to whom he had been long personally known, came afterwards into the room, to take a last farewell of him. Their presence appeared to affect him deeply, and he hid his head under the bed-clothes. Mr. Pryke, his mother's steward, also had an interview with him, together with Founs, an old and faithful servant of his mother, who, with much appearance of feeling, on shaking hands pith the unhappy man, said, "Oh, Master William, I ara sorry it is come to this," and then entreated him to seek consolation in the Scriptures. He added, " I am sorry to have been obliged to be a witness against you, as you were always a good master to me." Before reaching Lavenham, the pri soner said, lie believed there was some truth in dreams. " I had," he said, " two fright ful dreams on the Friday night before•vou took me. I dreamed that I saw my deceased brothers and sister dressed in white. I had a kind of presentiment that something was to occur, and I told my wife of the dream the following morning. She answered, " To dream of the dead is a sign you will hear from the living." Of the nature of the other dream he made no mention. He afterwards observed that he be lieved there was some dependence to be placed on the predictions of fortune-tellers; for that about 12 years since his fate had been foretold by an old wo man, who declared that he had a great number of misfortunes and troubles to undergo, and that in ally undertakings in which he might be engaged he would be unsuccessful. Her prophecy he had found to be true, for in every speculation in which he had engaged he had been unsuccessful. Some time after be observed that there were several untruths in the depositions he had heard read, and he was sorry be had not heard the whole of them. He particularly alluded to the evidence of Mrs. Marten, as to his bringing a loaded gun to her house on the night in question. He admitted he had frequently taken a gun there before, but denied that he had done so oa that night. He also declared that he was not questioned by her on the Sunday following the 18th of May, about being seen going from the barn with a pick-axe on his shoulder, as stated by her. Th e prisoner asked Lea if be had heard any thing about the child. Lea said, " Yes, Mrs. Marten stated in her evidence that it was extremely sickly; that it had been taken suddenly ill, and was brought to her bedside, where it expired, and that it was taken by the deceased and him (Corder) at a late hour of the night to Sudbury, and there buried." The prisoner replied, " Aye, that is right, for it was at Sudbury that it was born." He afterwards went on to give an account of his earlier years, and said he had not received a gentleman's education, but that he had received a good plain one, and had been five years at a respectable boarding school, where he was fully instructed in the principles of religion ; that he at one time used to attend to them, and that he might have done as well as any young man in Suffolk. He inquired if Lea bad heard any thing about the 5/. note sent by Mr. Matthews. Lea said he had, ana William Corder is a .slight made young man, of fair complexion. His age is stated to be not more than twenty-four years. His character in the neigh bourhood of his mother's farm was never very good, and his conduct has been the cause of considerable grief to his respected mother and other relatives. On his removal on the stage coach from London to Col chester, he had the heartlessness to utter low jokes and obscene ribaldry during the journey, and his conduct excited disgust among the passengers who witnessed his extraordinary levity. He appeared to think that there could not he sufficient evidence to bring home to him his treacherous and cold-blooded crime. The Red Barn was the constant place of as signation between Wm. Corder and Maria Marten, and in the upper lay they had spent many hours to gether, and there he had made professions to her of never-ceasing love. Of all the inhuman acts ever perpetrated, perhaps to no one could the language of that poet who was a great master of nature, be more correctly applied, " Murder most foul, as at the best it is; But this, most foul, strange, and unnatural." It was stated by the mother of the deceased, that when Corder left her house with the deceased, the latter had several pounds of money in her rrticule— which reticule was found by Lea, the officer, in Cor der's house, at Ealing. After Corder had com mitted the murder, he must have carried off the suit of men's clothes which he had lent to her; and also her bundle. A gown, which was in the bundle, was not found in the grave of the deceased. The writer of this article accompanied Mrs. Marten, the mother of the deceased, who went by the direction of the Coroner, to the house of Bailam, a constable, at Polstead, on Friday, to view the articles found in the grave of the deceased. The constable pro duced the skull of the deceased, as well as the bon net, handkerchief, stays, &c. of the unfortunate young woman. Mrs. Marten instantly identified all the articles of apparel. The skull was divided, and ap peared to be cut through in that part of the bone near the right eye leading to the nose, with some sharp instrument. It was stated on the Co roner's Inquest (the evidence of which we should have given in detail, if the Coroner had not pre vented our taking notes, and compelled us to give a report from memory) that after the lath of May last, the floor of the barn was observed to be un usually thickly littered with straw; and two wit nesses proved that Corder himself, last harvest,laid down the first load of corn over the floor where the body was interred. Corder was very feverish on Friday night, and slept little. It would be impossible to describe the extraordi nary interest which the inquiry touching this myste rious and atrocious murder excited for miles round. Business was suspended for the whole of Friday ; and the village, notwithstanding its secluded situa tion, and the fewness of its inhabitants, presented the appearance of a large fair. The inn was so crowded that no accommodation could be obtained after noon, and the village green was thronged by dense crowds, who had collected from all parts of the adjacent country, and who did not disperse until late at night. The manners of many of the rustics were far from creditable to their feelings, and one unacquainted. with the fact would rather suppose they had con gregated for purposes of hilarity and mirth, than for the purpose of witnessing a judicial inquiry affecting the life of a human being. In one of the rooms of the inn situate below that in which the prisoner was placed, towards the afternoon a large party assembled and amused themselves by singing light songs, and exhibited other symptoms of boisterous mirth. On Friday morning, Corder received a letter from his wife, in reply to one he had written to her at Col chester ; she declined coming to see him, but ex pressed herself in a most feeling manner, and urged him to apply to the God of Mercy, who would not reject the petitions of the repentant murderer. —When Corder found that his wife would not come, his dejection increased and he fre quently groaned, wrung his hands, threw him self upon the bed in a state of extreme agony, and avoided taking the least refreshment. The al teration in his appearance, when he was at Lam beth-street Office, and when he was placed in a chaise to be sent off to gaol, was very remarkable — he appeared to be more dead than alive. It is considered very strange th it the murder should have been concealed for the space of eleven months, but that is easily accounted for.. The parents cre dited the statements of Corder as to their daughter being in a comfortable situation at Yarmouth, and they received remittances occasionally from Corder, who informed them that he sent the money by the direction of their daughter, and made some excuses that the girl did not write to them herself. It was not till Corder had ceased to remit money to the old people that they began to dream about the murder of their child. It was shortly before last Christmas when the old couple began seriously to consider the absence of their daughter, or, more properly speak ing, her silence after so long a period of absence, as remarkable; and they had frequent conversations about Corder and the girl having had meetings in the Red Barn, and also as to that place being the spot where she went to take off her male attire, pre vious to her accompanying him to be married.— It was after a discussion one night between the old people upon this subject, when the old woman had the dream which she related. It is, however, a singular thing—though not the only one in the eventful history of this mysterious affair, that if she did dream,andshe says that she twice dreamt,and before last Christmas too, that her daughter was mur dered, and buried in the barn, that she and her hus band, to whom she communicated her dreams, should suffer four mouths to elapse without having the barn examined ! the corpse of the child, which Corder carried from the house of old Marten after midnight, which died suddenly, and under suspicious circum stances, and was disposed of in a manner not at all calculated to decrease the suspicions which are en tertained on the subject, has been sought after in the barn and other places, but has not yet been discovered. During the whole of Friday, with the exception of a few intervals, when he appeared to sink into a kind of lethargic despondency, the prisoner appeare . o to be ans;ous to know what was going forward i n the Jury-room, and repeatedly asked questions to that effect of Lea and the three other constables, by whom he war guarded. 'ln particular, he asked , it any thing was said respecting the death of the 'Le gitimate child of Maria Marten, of which he was the father. This child, it appears, died very suddenly, a S n u d d Sudbury, s, by T h i l d ini t h i e n r e a buried. b At intervals Corder employe d himse l f to ars),distance immediatelyoaf niner t taken in making • extracts from a collection of hymns, winch were fur chester. nished to him by the Rev.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN.—On Saturday, G. Inde s , , man of most respectable appearance, and apparently i)e: twcen fifty and sixty years of age, was charged with firing a loaded pistol at his brother, Mr. W. Bullock Watts, a gentlea►an residing at No. 20, Chapel-street, Pentonville. The prosecutor stated, that about eight o'clock on Saturday morning, the prisoner, who is his brother, and with whom he was on the best terms, called, and was shown into the parlour. In a few seconds the prosecutor joined him, and fancied there was something uncommon in his appearance ; but of this he took no notice at the time, having seen him similarly affected on former occa- The prisoner immediately commenced a vague conversation on his pecuniary affairs, and adverted to a long-pending suit, which he said was now on the eve of decision, and would produce him 5001. or 6001. At -pre sent, he said, he was in want of 100/. for a peculiar pur pose, and proposed, or rather demanded, that the prose cutor should advance that sum, or become security to that amount. Mr. Watts, knowing that hie brother's head was occasionally filled with visionary schemes, de clined ; and to prevent further discussion on the subjeet was about to leave the room, but he had no sooner turned to the door than he was alarmed by the report of a pistol, and felt something pass close to the side of his head, and which struck the wall. On turning to the prisoner, he observed a pistol in his right hand, and his left in one, of the pockets of his small-clothes, as if in the act of drawing another. Prosecutor rushed rai him, called loudly for assistance, and, while struggling . with the prisoner, the second pistol fell from his pocket. Th e maid-servant, and also the prisoner's wile, who had arrived in the interim ran to his assistance, and the former secured the fallen pistol. A third was also found in his bosom and, on being disarmed, he became quite passive, and constable was sent for. sions. Mr. LAIN° asked the prisoner if he wished to say any thing in his defence, observing, that as it was his (M, . L.'s) intention to commit him on the capital charge, he had better reserve what he had to say until before a Jury. The prisoner, who appeared much agitated, comm2n ced a long history of family grievances, but was interrupt ed by the Magistrate, who desired him to confine himself to the charge against him. Prisoner—When he refused to assist me with the money or security, it took away my senses, and I don't kno%t what I did. Mr. LAING—But you were prepared with loaded pistols. To this observation the prisoner made no reply, and shook his head. He was then fully committed to Newgate, sod the parties bound over to prosecute. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Three persons, named Elizabeth Browne, a laundress, Wrn. Browne, her son, and John Charles Mustered, a shopmau, have been id custody for some weeks past, charged with being concerned in a series of robberies committed on the property of Mr. Fenwick, an extensive and most respectable linen-draper and mercer in the Regent-circus, Oxford -street; but owing to the sudden and continued illness of the woman Browne, the case was adjourned from time to time until Saturday last, the earliest day on which she could with safety be re moved from St. James's Infirmary, where she had been un der medical treatment. From the nature and intricacy of the ease, it was found neoessary to admit the woman Browne as an evidence for the prosecution, and she was not now therefore placed at the bar, where her son and the other prisoner were brought for final examination before H. M. DYER, Esq., the sitting Magistrate. h ri been k i n being hss e s r w v o i t r . e n , a s s ta , iteodp,ut!aut from .fusee to M p ti s e: soner was in his service, he (Mr. Fenwick) did not secerneildbre.hraFidaensbtwe, ei when he quitted. During the time the pri.. parti cularly miss any property ; but in the early part of this month (April), in consequence of some information he re ceived, he obtained a search-warrant at this office, and pro ceeded with Clements and Goddard, the officers, to the l o d g i ngs of Elizabeth Browne, No. 31, Harrow-strut, Edgeware-road, where on searching they found a vast num ber of pawnbrokers' duplicates for property of various sorts, such as he sold at his shop; and on proceeding to the, pawnbrokers to inspect the articles, he recoguieed them aU as belonging to him. He then had the woman Browne, and her son taken into custody, and the prisoner MussereA was subsequently apprehended. The young man Browne, Mr. Fenwick said, had alsu lived in his service as porter at the same time with Alns sered, upon whose recommendation he hired him. A nunber of pawnbrokers attended from various parts of th e metropolis, and produced quantities of silks, printed muslins, stuffs, calicoes, &c., that had been pawned at their shops by the woman Browne, in her own name, and all of which property, with but little exception, Mr. Fenwick identified as baring been stolen from his shop. Elizabeth Browne deposed that she had known the pri soner Mussered for about twelve months, and all the time that he was in the service of Mr. Fenwick as shopnion. Previously to her son, the other prisoner, going into the service of Mr. Fenwick as porter, Mussered used to C4OlUe occasionally to her lodgings, and bring her pieces of silk, &c. to pledge for him, saying that they were his own pi perty ; and on her observing to him that she hoped he was not doing anything wrong, he said that he was dok " nothing more than all shopmen did." Mr. DIER-I hope not. I hope we are not in quite Qo used nnd bundle ' o v f ay cli r t t o y }iron, , IA e a c q bad 14. shit° as that yet.

Clements and Goddard, the officers, stated that they ings, as described by Mr. Fenwick, and they afterwards ded the prisoners, Mussered at the shop of a.pet•- apprehen . , Recreut • son named Clfft in ~ -sheet, and the others at home. m mas red, who is a genteel-looking young man, declined wing a ny thing in his defence, and was fully committed for trial. Mr. DYER, addressing the young Man Browne, sail. that as there was no evidence in the case to affect him, he found the duplicates of the should be discharged, butt he (Mr. Dyer) was by no means satisfied that he was altogether morally guiltless in these transactions. Nis own conscience would, however, tell him if it were so, and he ought to take a lesson from this proceeding, to guide him in the paths of honesty the rest of his life. The prisoner bowed to the Magistrate, and was dis charged. A young man named Richard Young was also charged with robbing and defrauding his employer. The prisoner was remanded. Information was given at this office of a daring burglary committed some time on Friday night last at the house of Colonel Mears, Nu. 120, Park-street, Camden-town. It appeared that the burglars gained admittance by forcing one of the area-windows, and so entering the kitchen. from which they proceeded to the parlours, and packed' up a large and valuable quantity of plate, wearing-apparel, &cc., which they succeeded in getting clear away, without: disturbing any of the family, asleep at the time in the house, and effectel their escape by the same way that they entered.
