Inspector Capron, of the Recta oonatabulary, deposed that
on the 3rd of November he conveyed the primmer from
fitevemge to Hitchin, sad es they were going along he ob-
served to the prisoner, " It ie ea awful murder, and it is an
awful thing for you to be sewed with it." The prisoner

celled at his cottage and asked him how his leg was, sad he
said it was • lade Letter. Winter then said it was •
shocking thine, about the murder, and he auppoeed they
would try to bring him (Carpenter) in for it. The prisoner
replied, I dare any they'll have me up to-day, because
there's been two doctors looking at ; but lam innocent :
sad ill am innocent they met host me."
William Shepherd, the lad who woo examined on the
former occasion, was mid he said that on the Satur-
day after Carpenter hurt hie Mrs. Camara came to him
in the races*, and said that he art not my scything

evadeg the saddest took place his father also told him that
if be said =Shin about Carpenter. accident he would
"pay him"—sawing that he would thraah him.
Mere being no tartlet evidence to be laid before the jury,
The Coroner prcosoded to sum up the whole of the eel-
demo with great elearneas and 'llion. He said these
could be no doubt, he apprehended, in their minds that dr
unfortunate deceased had met his death by the violent at
of NOM person, sad that act would amount to the crime
of wilful ameba. The evidence seemed to point against
one person, and if they should be of opinion that it was eta -
that to allow that he wee the guilty party, it would be their
duty to say so by their verdict ; but if they thought it was not
oxaclusive, they would be joetatted in returning an open ver-
dict, and saying that the deceased was wilfully murdered by
sours person unimown.
The jury, after deliberating for a abort time, returned a
verdict of "Wilful murder ruminst Jeremiah Carpenter," and
the Coroner at 011.20 issued Ms warrant for his committal to
take his trial fur that offence at the ensuing spring assizes.

THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE.
(From Bolts Wiekty Messenger of yesterday.)

• •
In some ports of the north of Europe the tightneas of the
money market hem aimed brought business to a stand, and
high rates of discount rule throughout the principal cities
and towns of Europe. At Hamburg trade has been para.
beed, and prices generally have fallen considerably without
Lading to business.
The French marketa are an exception to all, from the eir•
impotence of exports being allowed. Wheat has advanced
fully 2s. per qr. generally, and in some instances Ai. to do.
per qr. h4ber rates have been obtained. Useful red can be
secured at 435. per qr., apparently low, but when the cat
transit, duty, and all other expenses are added to the Mgt
there will be nothing left for tho importer. Flour at 37e. pee
sock may pay better, presuming the quality prime, although
war own Norkiks me to be bad at 36e. per sack here on do
spot withent any expense.
