THE STAMFORD MURDER.

The interest excited by this almost unparalleled
case, which began to subside with the suicide of the
supposed murderer (Henry Corby), has been again
revived by the discovery of a portion of the plate
which was stolen from the house of the unfortunate
victim, Miss Elizabeth Pulley. This discovery took
place under the, following circumstances :—T wo men
named Charlesworth and Lowe were fishing in the
back water of Hudd's Mills, just on the Outskirts of
the town, when one of them perceived something
glittering at the bottom of the stream which he at
first supposed to be shells—a supposition, however,
which further observation dispelled. Throwing in
a snaphook, he drew out a piece of wash-leather.
This stimulated further search. Entering the water,
which at the spot in question is about seven feet in
depth, the man succeeded in recovering 30 pieces of
silver, consisting of tablespoons, forks, &c., besi es
several plated articles. Information of the matter
was then communicated to the police, and another
raking of the bed of the stream brought to light five
more pieces of silver. Some of the articles are
marked " E. P." (Elizabeth Pulley), and others
with the initials of members of the deceased lady's
family. We understand that it is intended to dam
up the stream and pump out the water, with a view
to a more careful examination of the bottom, as it is
not improbable that Miss Pulley's rings, which, it
will be remembered, were seen in a small writing:
desk in Corby's possession, were disposed of in the
same way as that portion of the plate which has
thus been recovered. On the morning of his ap-
prehension Corby was seen going in a direction
toward's Hudd's Mills, and in a plantation which
he would pass on the way has been found a plated
cream ewer, which from its shape could not conve-
niently ne packed in the wash leather in which the
other articles were wrapped previous to their being
cast into the water. The plate, most of which ap-
pears as though it had never been w-ed, is now in
the possession of Mr. Superintendent Ward. It was
stated in evidence that the deceased lady used to
say she bad sufficient plate to furnish a jeweller's
shop. There seems every reason to believe that the
heavier portion of the silver which Miss Pulley was
known to possess was disposed of at Peterborough
on the day on which Corby
,was traced thither with
a weighty basket.

established Household Remedies.—No medicines are more
efficient or more safe under any circumstances than Hollo-
way's well-known preparations, and none are, therefore, so
well adapted for family use. They possess the active and
essential therapeutical powers presented by the vegetable
kingdom for expelling the cafises of disease from the human
system. Both Holloway's pills and ointment are alike de-
void of all mineral and vegetable poisons. They may be
used with equal safety to the infant as to the adult, being
simple but efficacious in their operation. No household
should be without a supply of llolloway's pills an/ oint-
ment, as they will be found always useful in restoring
from accidental injuries, constitutional complaints, or
obstructed functions.

THE CATTLE TRADE.—Norwich, May s.—The
show of store cattle here to-day was large, and, there being
an improved feeling in the trade, a fan clearance was ef-
fected at fully late rates. Sheep were also taken off pretty
freely at former prices.

CITY CHANGES.—There are few more striking
indications of exchanges of manners and customs that two
or three hundred years have brought about than those de-
serted chure.,es. Many of them are handsome and costly
structures, several of them were designed by Wren, many of
them arose from the ashes of the great fire, others of them
outlived the plague and the fire, too, to aie a slow death in
these latter days. No one can be sure of the coming time ;
but it is not too much to say of it that it has no sign in its
out Netting tides of the reflux to these churches of theimon-
gregations and uses. They remain, like the tombs of the
old citizens who lie beneath them and around them, monu-
ments of another age. They are worth a Sunday exploration
now and then, for they yet echo, not unharmoniously, to
the time when the city of London really was London ; when
the 'prentices and trained bands were of mark in the
State ; when even the Lord Mayor himself was a reality—
not a fiction conventionally be-puffed on one day in the year
by illustrious friends, who no less conventionally laugh at
hint on the remaining 364 days.—Dickens's All the Year
Round.
