MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(This Day.)

Mr. Bodkin said the present was neither the proper
time or place for such an application.

THE MURDER AT STAMFORD.-
SUICIDE OF THE ACCUSED.

The excitement occasioned by the horrible mur-
der of Miss Elizabeth Pulley was yesterday brought
to a climax by its becoming known that Henry
Corby, the man charged with the foul crime, had
committed suicide in his cell at the gaol at Stam-
ford. It appears that the conduct of the prisoner,
whilst in custody, had been such as to disarm sus-
picion that he was likely to make any attempt upon
his life ; he was therefore allowed to sleep alone.
Corby was visited by the Governor (Mr. Hewer-
dine) several times in the course of Wednesday, and-
was last seen alive in the evening, when he was
locked up for the night. Yesterday morning it
was discovered that the prisoner had hung himself;
he had improvised a halter by tearing up one of
the sheets of his bed, and with this he had sus-
pended himself to an iron stancheon in the windows
of his cell. When found the body was not quite
cold, but it was supposed by Mr. Howard, the gaol
surgeon, that life had been extinct about six hours.
On a slate the deceased had written, in a tolerably
bold hand, the following letter to his family :

"My dear Wife and Children,—l hope the Lord will pre •
serve you through these trials and troubles, and pray to him
to assist you. I hope you will all of you be friendly one with
another. Joe, be sure you stop with Mr. B. as long as he
wishes for you. You maybe a help to your mother, and she
to you. I hope you will all look to your mother. Tell her I
think she had better go to the board and see if they will allow
her anything to assist her. Now, above all, try to forget me
as soon as you can. Sell all that I wore, so that it may not
put me in remembrance. If any one mentions me, say you
de not wish to hear anything. Ask the mayor if Mr. Ward
(superintendent of police) should not give up the money and
things he took from me. Joe, my dear boy, keep from
public-houses. Ask Mr. Law (solicitor) if he has got any
money in for you. May the Lord preserve you all from
sin and Satan.

" Adieu, my dear wife, from your unfortunate husband.
" Adieu, my dear children, from your unfortunate father,
" HENRY COREY.

"! May the Lord rest my soul. Amen."

The other side of the slate the prisoner had
covered with particulars of work by him and of
money due to him.
An inquest was at once held on the body before
Mr. John Torkington, the borough coroner, when
the jury returned a verdict of felo de se.
Although the wretched man made no admission
of his guilt, little doubt exists from the evidence
that was to be brought forward at the adjourned
examination, but that he was the perpetrator of the
dreadful crime.

TILE LATE FIGHT FOR THE CIIAM-

PIONSIIIP.

Mr. George Wilkes, in a letter to the Times, says :—Sir
—I am desired to state, on the part of Mr. Jchn C. Heenan,
in answer to your report of this morning, that neither ho
nor any person authorised to act for him requested the
referee at the late encounter between Sayers and himself to
stop the fight when the ring was broken into. On the con-
trary, ho and his friends, nearly all of whom were grouped
in a little handful at his corner, repeatedly protested against
the invasion of the ropes, and demanded that the fight
should not be interrupted. In proof of this, Heenan breasted
his way three times through the crowd of persons who
poured into the arena from the side of Sayers to renew the
combat 9,fter, that outrage had taken place, and who refused
to leave the ring, and did not do so until Sayers had been
withdrawn. He wishes me to say, moreover, that he feels
sure that, had not that occurrence taken place, he would
soon have made his victory manifest to the most prejudiced
person on the ground. As to the suggestion which has been
kindly made by the editor of Bell's Life, that Sayers and
he should have a Belt a-piece, he begs to say that, while
he will cheerfully subscribe to a new testimonial for his
brave and honourable adversary, he will have none other
that the one he came 9,000 miles to get, and which he
honestly feels he has already won. He believes, however,
he can win it again, if required to do so, and, if it be really
amenable to conquest by a stranger, he will not leave your
shores until he brings his late contest to a new and due
conclusion.

On the part of many ♦mericans in London who have
called upon me, we repudiate entirely the idea expressed at
the conclusion of your article—namely, that Heenan's
American supporters " consent to the contest being consi-
dered a drawn battle." They, on the contrary, insist that
the fight, if not decided to be already won by Heenan, shall
be considered as still pending, and subject to renewal at the
earliest possible day. Through a note from the referee,
which now lies before me, I learn he refuses a new arbitra-
ment this week (according to the usual custom), "on the
ground of humanity ;" but, while the friends of Mr. Heenan
cannot object to such a highly creditable motive, they dis-
claim for him the requirement of any such consideration,
he being quite capable of responding to the orders of the
referee, and will so respond at an hour's notice. The friends
of Heenan, while they acquit the upright and gallant
Sayers and his immediate backers from any participation
in the violent interruption of the contest, wish to declare the
clearness of Heenan's supporters from any complicity with
that outrage ; and in this connection desire me to say that
when a man in our country who has engaged to subdue an-
other requires outside aid to help him, as was given to
Sayers in the 39th rouad, he is considered to be beaten. In
short, whenever " humanity" justifies such interference,
the verdiet is given against the man whose conquered and
hrip.l.se oonaition roquiroa tho prsotiodra iaborposit,ion, of
such a sentiment.

In conclusion, I wish to say fur myself that in the haste
of writing my long report, the battle part of which has
been published here in an illustrated extra, a few errors
crept in which could not be corrected for that edition, as
I had no time allowed me to either revise my manuscript or
road its proof. One of those errors was the omission of
the word " at" in the last line of one of the closing rounds,
when, in speaking of the conduct of the persons who broke
into the ring, it should read " they kicked at and struck at
him," instead of " kicked and struck him."
I send with this a corrected copy of that report, and if
you will lay it before the gentleman who prepared your ably-
written account of Wednesday, and he will point out any
errors I may have made therein, I will cheerfully correct it
for perusal in America.

We are requested to state that arrangements in
the Education-office will render it unnecessary to fill up the
Inspectorship which has become vacant by the death of the
late Mr. Jellinger Symonds.
MR. ERNEST JONES.—We understand that Mr.
Ernest Jones is about to follow his profession as a barrister,
and intends to practise in the Old Bailey and on the
Northern Circuit. Mr. Jones was called to the bar in 1844.

TRIBUTE TO THE CHAMPION.—Seventy pounds
were collected for Sayers on 'Change at Liverpool yester-
day.

EARLIER DEPARTURE OF THE DAY MAIL TO
FRANCE.—On the Ist May next, and thenceforward, the
day mail to France will be despatched from the London-
bridge Station at 6.65 a.m., instead of 1.30 p.m. as at pre-
sent, and it will arrive in Paris in time for the letters ad-
dressed to that city to be delivered the same evening, and
for the correspondence for places beyond Paris to be for •
warded by the night mails. The following are the regu-
lations under which letters, newspapers, and other printed
papers addressed to France, or intended to be forwarded
through France, may. be posted on and after the date men-
tioned, for transmission by the day mail :—At any of the
ordinary receiving offices, up to 9 o'clock the previous
evening ; at the district offices, and at the branch offices at
Charing-cross and Lombard-street, as well as at the pillar
letter boxes in the town districts, up to 5 o' clock on the
morning of despatch; at the chief office, Saint Martin's-le-
Grand, up to 6.30 a.m. ; at the Foreign Post-office (adjoin-
ing the Continental Parcels Office) at the South-Eastern
Railway Station, London-bridge, up to 6.50 a.m. A corre-
sponding alteration will be made in the arrangement for
despatching the day mail from Paris ; and this mail will be
due in time for paid letters to be delivered in London the
same evening, and for both paid and unpaid letters to be
forwarded to the country by the night mails.

THE MURDER AT PENRITII.—Thomas Sowerby
was re-examined before the Penrith magistrates on Wed-
nesday, charged with the wilful murder of a Jew named
Simon Maeassa. The preliminary examination appeared
in The Sun of Friday last. Dr. Pearson, who made the
post mortena examination, described the wounds, and gave
his opinion that they might have been produced by the
stick which was found near the place where the deceased
was lying. From the evidence it appeared that the pri •
soner, on his way home to his lodging, had to pass along
the same roa3 as the deceased. The prisoner was again re •
mended_ for a week.
STEEPLECHASING IN FRANCE.—A correspondent
from Pau writes on the 14th inst. :—" An amateur steeple-
chase and a couple of flat races, open to all horses ridden
last season with our ;drag,' came off this afternoon in
the presence of an unusually large number of spectators.
Nine horses started for the first-named event, but, not-
withstanding the short distance, the moderate pace, never
equal to that of our English hounds when running the
drag,' and the small fences, only three passed the
winning pest; the others were either down or completely
pumped out long before the finish. Better things were
certainly expected of them. A thoroughbred horse, Tra-
veller, the property of and ridden by Mr. It. L. Power,
came in first, anything but an easy winner, closely pressed
by Canalotti, a half-bred mars of the country, and a coarse-
bred horse from the Emerald Isle. The flat race was a
hollow thing, being won easily in two heats by Mr. Law-
son's Sansfacon, with his owner up. The hunting season
, having been thus brilliantly closed a fresh series of out-
door pastimes will have to console us for the absenee of its
excitements until the heats of the approaching summer
shall force us to fly to cooler latitudes. The annual steeple-
well contested race among
chase wall won last Wednesday by M. Borda's

number of pounds weight charged with duty was 68,496,958.
No land is laid down in hops in Scotland, and the duty on
hops does not extend to Ireland. The total amount of
duty collected was £599,346 2s. 71d., being an average duty
of £l3 2s. 50. per acre. The total weight of British hops
exported in 1859 was 1353,0751 b and of foreign hops
34,9121 b. There were 248,6351 b. of foreign hops imported
into the United Kingdom, of which 220,6101 b. paid duty
for home consumption at rate of £2 ss. per cwt. The
quantity of hops in bond on the let of January, 1860, was
398,1791 b.

The start was much delayed. At the last moment, J.
Adams was substituted for Sadler, who had weighed for
Confectioner, and Perry did not mount Mazzini until long
after the horses had arrived at the starting post. The break-
ings away were frequent and vexatious, and the many fail-
ures sorely tried the patience of the spectators. The most
prominently refractory lot comprised The Nun, Bentinck,
Ariadne, Tocher, Regius Professor, and Yoicks ; and on
the complaint of the starter, the respective riders of those
horses were ordered to appear before the stewards to-mor-
row (Friday) at one o'clock. When the signal was given,
the 36 competitors quitted the post in very straggling order,
Bentinck, Ariadne, Confectioner, Tocher, Theodora, and
Remunerator getting away in front, with Comforter in the
centre of the ruck, Birdbolt, who, with three or four others,
lost much start, being several lengths in the rear. On
going through the furze Bentinck, Confectioner, and Re-
munerator were nearly side by side, separated by a clear in-
terval from their pursuers, and they ran with little material
alteration in their position to the bend, where Chere Amie
and Narcissus showed well up, Comforter and Lord Nelson
being in their wake. After crossing the road Apollyon be-
gan to draw forward, and Bentinck dropped back, and Con-
fectioner soon after swerving to the left on the lower
ground, Comforter went on with the running, closely pur-
sued by Lord Nelson, Apollyon, and Tocher. Wells went
vigorously to work with Lord Nelson, and by his exertions
lost his cap. A very fine race with the first two ensued, Lord
Nelson getting up in the last few strides, and making a dead
heat. Apollyon was beaten a length and a half, having the
advantage of a head over Tocher. Chore Arnie was fifth,
Regius Professor, Brown Holland, Confectioner, and Drog-
heda next. The last lot comprised Curlew, Narcissus, Bird-
bolt, and Odo. Deciding heat :—Betting, 6to 4on Com-
forter. They ran together to the bend, where Comforter
came away, and ran home the winner by 2') lengths. Value
of the stakes, 11,420.

THE NEW STAMP ACT.

The following correspondence has passed regard-
ing the New Stamp Act.
" To THE SECRETARY OF INLAND REVENUE.
" City, April 11, 1860.
" you be good enough to state whether the
following bills and draughts, endorsed out of the United
Kingdom,' require foreign bill stamps to be affixed before
being paid P
" 1. Post bills of the Bank of England.
"2. Draughts drawn by bankers upon bankers, in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the 9th of Geo. IV., c. 23.
" 3. Draughts on demand, payable to bearer or to order,
drawn and payable in the United Kingdom, and bearing
one penny stamp.
"I shall also feel obliged by your informing me what is
the amount of duty payable upon a' promissory note for the
payment either to the bearer on demand or in any other
manner than to the bearer on demand for any sum exceed-
ing £4,000 ?'
" It appears to me, from a careful reading of the recent
Stamp Act, that no provision has been made for promissory
notes above £4,000, and that the Act 17th and 18th of Vict.,
c. 83, is still in force for sums of such amounts.
" J. H. C."
" Inland Revenue, Somerset-house, April 16.
" Sir,—The Board of Inland Revenue have had before
them your letter of the 11th inst., and in reply, I am directed
to state that promissory notes are not affected by the recent
Stamp Act; the duties uponthem remain as theyweie under
the 17th and 18th of Vict., c. 83. The alteration relating
to them was deferred till the next Stamp Bill.
" Bills or draught of any description drawn within the
Kingdom are not really liable to any additional duty by
reason of being negotiated abroad. Tho word endorsed' in
the schedule was not in the Bill as it was drawn ; it was
unadvisedly inserted while in the House of Commons ; it
has no effect whatever, and must therefore be disregarded.
—I am, sir, your obedient servant, "J. SARGENT."
