(ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.)

The Jury returned their verdict in twenty mi-
nutes, and the trial closed at ten minutes past two.
Corder had undergone a great change, q 9 had been
stated, since the previous day. Indeed his features
were so much altered, particularly on the summing
up of the Judge, that one could hardly have recog-
nized him as the same person. His cheeks sunk,
his mouth in general remained open, and he occa-
sionally shut it for' a moment, heaving a deep sigh,
as if suffering under the most ppignant but secret
distress. He occasionally raised his eyes towards
the Court and jury, but with a suspicious and
guilty look, that was any thing but of service to
him: His colour, which was naturally clear and
good, changed most -remarkably on the sentence
being passed. His face theri assumed 4 half-
livid, half-florid flUsh, and his whole body sunk
down, somewhat resembling that of a dead body,
when taken from the gallows. Before he began his
defence, he seemed conscious of what the result was
to be. He delivered it in a diffident manner, and
with a whining
tone, not unlike that of a canting
Methodist preacher. Hp attempted to recite it, but
as it had not been decided on by his Counsel till the
preceding evening,. he had not had time to prepare
it for delivery, frequently forgot what he had to say,
and was some time in finding the place. His air
altogether on this occasion was that of a man who
went through a pact which hr had resolved to per-

form, but which he knew could be of no service
to him. .

His unfortunate wife, it would appear, has been
so much led astray by his statements, as to believe
that he'would certainly be acquitted, and had even
prepared a (limier for him on his leaving the Court.
The feeling of every one that had seen him the first
day, seemed considerably changed on his second ap-
pearance. This is not to be wondered at ; as the
evidence drew to a close, it left not a doubt that he
had been guilty of the most horrid and unprovoked
cruelty towards a female with whom he had
been on habits of the utmost intimacy. She
was decoyed from her father's house under pre-
tence of marriage; and, after assenting to assume
male attire, put to death for no possible reason that
has yet been assigned. It is thought that he had
shot at her first, and on finding that was not effec-
tual had stabbed her repeatedly, and afterwards
consummated the murder by strangling her with the
handkerchief about the neck. The character given
of him at Bury St. Edmund's is not good. Even
when a boy of ten years of age he was in the habit
of pilfering from his schoolfellows; and at an aca-
demy had obtained false keys with which he could
open every box belonging to his comrades. The
execution will take place on Monday, at twelve, in
a field close to the gaol.

Observations having been made on the refusal of
the Coroner to permit the prisoner to be present
during the examination of the witnesses on the in-
quest, it seems but justice to state, that on an ap-
plication for that purpose by Mr. Humphreys, the
prisoner's attorney, the Coroner inquired if there
were any precedent or authority existing for such a
course of proceeding. None being produced, and
the Coroner still doubting, Mr. Humphreys said he
would not press the application, provided the depo-
sitions should be afterwards read over in the presence
of himself and the prisoner. To this the Coroner
assented, and the depositions were accordingly read
over in the presence of the prisoner and his solicitor,
Mr. Humphreys expressing himself perfectly satis-
fied with the line of conduct pursued by the Coro-
ner, and thanking him for his attention and impar-
tiality.

ANECDOTES OF CORDER AT EALING.

(PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT, RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

Throughout yesterday the greatest anxiety pervaded
Ealing, Brentford, and the vicinity of those places, to learn
the result of Corder's trial, as it was not anticipated that it
would have extended to the second day. Our Reporter,
who went there to learn some particulars of the wretched
man, was beset with applications from almost every person
he met in the roads and lanes in the vicinity, with:questions
as to the verdict on the trial. For although Corder had
come to reside at the Grove-house Academy, situate about
half way hetween Ealing and Brentford, in Brentford-lane,
only in December last, and could not consequently be gene-
rally known, yet what little was known of him had tended
considerably to almost endear him to those residing in the
neighbourhood.

When he first came to the Grove-house to reside he kept
very much within doors, scarcely ever going out of his own
premises, not even to Church, although his wife was a con-
stant attendant at Divine service, and the pupils of the
school which she conducted were regularly [nought to
Ealing Church every Sunday, under her immediate superin.
tendance. He seldom went to London, though on one or
two occasions, about Christmas, he was obliged to go to
town to meet the parents of some of his wife's pupils. But
on these occasions he invariably went armed, and with those
identical small pistols to which Lee, the Lambeth-street
officer, depased on the trial as having been found in
Corder's house at Ealing. Whatever was his real motive
in these precautions it was not then even conjectured; he
used to tell his wife it was done to guard against the pos-
sibility of an attack from footpads or other dangerous
characters on his return from town, as he was accustomed
to take on his way to and from London the long path which
leads from the small lane off the Oxford-road, at Turnham-
green, by the W.olpack public-house, through the fields, to
Ealing Church-yard .and Brentford-lane. But it may now
be conjectured that he had other motives for these pre-
cautionary steps—motives which h 1 could not dare to
divulge even to t"e wife of his bosom. And it was fortu-
nate that the capture was made so wisely and cautiously by
Lea, as if he had endeavoured to arrest him on his way to
or from the Grove-house, another murder might have
stained the wretched man's hand.

There was one peculiarity which he was fond of indulg-
ing in, whenever he walked out alone, and that was his most
general practice, be seemed particularly pleased at meeting
children, whom he used to pat on the head, apparently
with the greatest affection and familiarity. It is not for
us to ascribe motives, but there are perhaps reasonable
grounds to suppose, that at these times recollections of his
infant child and that of Maria Martin used to come over
him, for it is more than suspected that bath the parents of
that wretched offspring of vice and misery were equally
guilty of hastening its life to a premature close, and this
will easily and simply account for the expressions used by
the victim of the murderer's hand, when he held out to her
the threats of imprisonment by Balem, the overseer Cf
Polstead, she declaring "that if she went to prison he
(Corder) should accompany her thither."

From the period that Corder came to reside at Ealing,
Mrs. Moore, the mother of his wife, dwelt in their home
and although at first they lived harmoniously together, three
months had not elapsed before Corder's eccentricities, to
use the mildest term, began to break out. He fancied, and
mentioned it often to his wife, that his mother-in-law was
using means to wean his wife's affections from him, and be
was so earnest in his remonstrances on this head, that Mrs.
Moore, from whom they bad expectations of deriving
something considerable, frequently had determined to
separate from her child and son-in-law, but the promises
of areentiment on the part of the latter induced her to re-
linquish her determination and remain with them.
The very day before Corder's apprehension he walked
out towards Brentford, and brought some children whom
he met into a small fruit-shop by the road-side, where he
purchased some oranges, to be divided amongst them.

legible letters, on her eye-balls. Her father and mother
have been hired by Mr. HAMLET for, we understand, a
considerable sum, to chew this little prodigy at his Bazaar,
in Oxford-street, to attract the public to this new place of
speculation. The French are well known to be a clever
ingenious people, and John Bull is always ready to
throw away his money on sights, no matter whether it 13e
a live lion or one stuffed with straw, so long as the thou-
sands who daily visit this vast metropolis have something
wonderful to talk about to their friends on their return to
the cppOry. This little girl, however, who is about three
years old, is very interesting, and whether the phenomenon
og her eyes bo the effect of nature or of art (the latter is
scarcely prible), it is very extraordinary, and worthy of
the attention of the curious.

We announced some time since that the Bank
of England had determined upon carrying into execution
their project for establishing a branch in Hull,
and that
they had purchased the ',remises in Salt-house-lane, late
the property of the Mechanics' Institute. We new learn
that an architect has arrived from London for the purpose
of rebuilding, or putting the present edifice in proper state
for the commencement of business. It is very generally,
and we believe correctly reported, that the management of
the concern in question will devolve upon (iv:mac Seim..
wAtt, gsq, and that Mr. BFN,TANIN STPolz will be chief
cashier.--Doncaster Gazette.

A project is discussing for extending the Oak-
ham and Melton canal to Stamford, by following the course
of the river Chater, which would not exceed three miles from
Uppinghatn. We fear, however, a great difficulty would be
found in raising. a sum sufficient for so expensive an under-
taking, the estimate being 144,5191. inclusive of the ex-
pense of reservoirs at Brooke. The length of the canal
would be nearly sixteen miles, and the fall 282 feet. The
plan is not popular at Stamford ; the connection desired
by the trade here is with Market Harborough, which would
open a line of good canals to all parts of England. —Not-

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE:

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Constitutionnel.)

" Several journals have prematurely announced the de-
parture of M. de la Ferronnays, Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs. The Monitenr announces this morning, that feeling
it necessary to drink the waters, he has obtained leave of
absence fi orn the King ; that he will set out on his road
for Carlsbad in Bohemia, the day after to-morrow, the 7th,
and that he will return towards the end of September.
" It has not been forgotten, that quite , recently the
newspapers and the correspondence from Germany have at
different times spoken of a new Congress, at which the
Ministers of the different Powers will again assemble toge-
ther. Laybach has been spoken of as the place of meeting,
and latterly Carlsbad has been fixed upon. It is to Carls-
bad that Al. de la Ferronnays is going. We do not pre-
tend to say that he repairs thither for any other causes
than those connected with the state of his health. We
merely make a remark which we leave to our readers to
appreciate."
