DERBY. 4 to 1 oat Utopiro (t) 10 to 1 Thormschy (t) 10 to 1 Mainstone (t) 40 to 1 Tom Bowling, (t)  The weather was stormy and cold. Snow fell at frequent intervals during the day, and all people seemed moro inclined to indulge in the warmth within the booths and stands than to expose themselve, to the cold without. The races, however, were sufficiently interesting to render the spectators indifferent to the inclemency of the weather. The City and Suburban Handicap commanded a large field and a dead heat. The weights were distributed with extraordinary care, and indeed a better handicap was perhaps Dever issued.  The Poet-office has published a notice to the effect that all letters registered, eddrateed to Clues, or any other country in or beyond the torrid sone. should be sealed with gum ,te wafer, to avoid the inconvenience oocasioned by the melting of the wax. . _ _ .  The excitement occasioned y the horrible murder of Mid Elisabeth Pulley was yesterday brought to a climax, by its becoming known that Henry Corby, the man charged with the crime, had committed suicide in his cell at the gaol at Stamford. It appears that the conduct of the prisoner whilst in custody had been such as to disarm any suspicion that he was likely to make an attempt upon his life; he wee therefore allowed to sleep alone. Corby was visited by the governor (Mr. Hewerdine) seven] times in the course of Wednesday, and wee last seen alive about 8 o'clock 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 • halter by tearing up one of the sheet* of his bed, and with this he suspended himself to an iron stanchion in the window 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 two hours. On a slate the deceased bad written in • tolerably bold hand the following letter to his family " My dear Wife and Chilclren,—l hope the Lord will preserve you through these trials and troubles, and pray to Him teeniest you. I hope you will all of you be friendly one with another. Joe, be sure you stop with Mr. B—h as long as he wishes for you. You may be 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 iet I wore, so that it may not put you in remembrance. If anyone mentions me, my you do 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. Lew (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.— limas Coney. " May the Lord rest my soul ! Amen." The prisoner had covered the other side of the slate with some particulars of work done and of money due to him. The adjourned examination was to have taken place yesterday, but instead of that an inquest was held over the body of the accused. Previous, however, to the coroner's inquiry, the Mayor and borough magistrates assembled at the Town-hall, when some particulars were furnished as to the additional evidence which had been obtained in this extraordinary case. A number of additional witnesses were in attendance awaiting the examination when the suicide of the prisoner was announced. Swan Tingay, a prostitute, would have proved that on the 21st of March Corby gave her a new pair of boots. These boots were clearly identified by the maker as having been sold to the deceased Miss Pulley, together with two other pairs, on the 31st of December last. Several other witnesses were prepared to show that subsequent to the murder Corby was dealing with various sums of money, amounting in the whole to nearly 601. The inquest was held at noon before Mr. John Torkington, the borough coroner. When the jury had been sworn they proceeded to view the body, which lay in the cell where the wretched man had terminated his existence.  After hearing the evidence of the governor of the prison, the turnkey who attended on the deceased, and of Mr. Howard, the gaol surgeon, the jury returned a unanimous verdict of Felo de K.  - , uutvertinement.]—HOLLOWAVll PILLA PREFERMAUI ALL 0771119 VOI TUa CCU 01/ SLR MD IPDJOgnION Alacknall, reiML• at Halm was a pest sufferer for several years from irpsetle• and Ws.
