The natural solution of this impression on the mind of the poor woman may be traced to her anxiety -about her daughter's mysterious and unaccountable disappearance, coupled with the conduct of the prisoner himself, which, preying upon the mind of a person in her situation, was calculated to inspire such apprehensions (beneficially in this instance) evoked through the medium of dreams of this kind.

The Counsel at neither side alluded to the evidence of this singular operation of mind of the poor woman, not wishing to encourage what are commonly considered superstitious allusions, in a case too pregnant with strong facts and circumstanoes to admit of any doubt in arriving at a just and safe conclusion. Two persons sat up-with Carder on Friday night, during which he slept soundly till six o'clock on Saturday morning. In speaking on the subject of a confession, he asked one of hia attendants in what way it could constitute to the salvation of his soul by telling the follies of his life to the world; or wlitit other effect it would have than casting an additional disgrace on his family. The attendant replied that there was no necessity for his entering into a long detail or history of his life, and that all that could be re-quired was an acknowledgment that justice had been done tohim. To this he made no reply.

He was visited by his wife about two o'clock, and was very much agitated during the three quarters of an hour she remained with him. She implored him to disregard all w.irldly affairs, and to consider aiid calmly reflect upon the heavy account he would be soon called upon to deliver to the Almighty and it was evident that t.h interview had some effect in rousino his dormant feelings.

THE HEUKDER AT POIiSTEAD. TRIAL OF WILLIAM CORDER. The trial' of William Cerder, for the murder of Marten, at Polstead, came on last Thursday, at Bury St. Edmunds, before the Lord Chief Baron. Soon after day break, although the morning was a continued rain, people began to collect in the church-yard, in front of the Court-house, and at seven o'clock the crowd was so great, that the doors were quite Hocked up.

The arrangements by the civil power were so badly taken, that no access was kept open through the multitude for the Counsel and the Officers of the Court. The consequence was, that the Gentlemen of the Bar'the Cleik of Arraigns, the Crier of the Court, and other persons, had to force 'their way, as well as they could, through the populace, at the risk of life and limb. Several, on into Court, appeared to have been nearly Buffocated, and the wigs and gowns were thrown into a state of sad disarray. Loud were the complaints against the Sheriff's Officers and the javelin-men, who, if they had kept open an avenue to the Court in' the morning, instead of remaining passively within the barriers, might have prevented the confusion. Several of the men seemed to have suffered considerably, and much time had elapsed before there were a sufficient number to make a ury.

A little before nine Cerder was driven to the door of. the Criminal Court, In the gaoler's gig. He is not an ill-looking man, and appears about 32 years of age, (although only 24): it may be said of him, that he is not otherwise remarkable than as appearing sulky and ill-tempered.

The pistols which have been spokes of were in my room, and were always kept Iqaded; some time previously I had shewn her how to use them, and by some means unknown to me she contrived to get possession of them it was publicly known at that time that Maria was anxious that I should marry her, and her anxiety was often productive of depression of spirits my mends objected to the match, and I had every reason to suspect that she was in correspondence with a gentleman in London, by whom she had a child, and I therefore declined it at the time; though I did not approve of Maria's conduct, yet such was my attachment thafl consented to her wishes, we agreed to be married, and we arranged that I shbuld go to Ipswich to obtain a licence for that purpose; I' cannot say' wheto'I said any- thing Twelve Jurymen were at length assembled, after challenge qf two, and William Corder was called up. On entering, the dock, he bowed respectfully to the Court, and during the reading of the seemed very attentive.

It was settled that Maria should go in male attire to the Red Barn.

"TOE EXECUTION. As early as nine o'clock in the.

morning upwards of 1000 per-sons were assembled around the scaffold, in the paddock, on the south side of the gaol, and tlieir numbers kept increasing till 12 o'clock, when they amounted to at least 700O persons. At ten minutes before twelve o'clock Corder was. brought from his own celt -which was on the second story of the prison, to a cell on the basement story. He appeared resigned to his fate, though he signed heavily at intervals. After his arms wete fastened, he would have fallen to the ground, had it not been for the support afforded to him by one of the constables.

He recovered after a moment.frbm the transient faintness which had overconie7 IrnViria.kepreJatsntathig- in' an under tone, May God forgive me Lord, receive my soul After he was placed under tho fatal beam, Mr. Orridge approached him, and asked whether- he wished to addro's's- the multitude.

The executioner then drew the cap over his faca The officer who supported him says that he afterwardB added, when quite unable to stand, I deserve my fate; I have offended my God. May he have mercy on my soul Within a minute afterwards the deadly bolt was withdrawn, and he was cut off from the number of the living. The hangman, after the corpse had fallen, performed his disgust, ing.

but necessary task, of suspending his own weight around the body of tlie prisoner, io accelerate his death. At the same moment the who appeared to be in the last agonies, clasped his hands tighter together. Immediately afterwards his arms, which were raised a little, fell the muscles appeared to relax and his hands soon sunk down as low as their pinioned condition permitted. But life was not yet' extinct about eight minutes: afterwards there' was a heaving of the shoulders, a slight convulsion of the frame, an indistinct graan, and then all was still, and no further motion was observed. The body, after' hanging the- usual time, was cut down, and conveyed in a cart to, the Shire for dissection.

Itis an extraordinary fact, arid certainly not to be accounted for on any principle of reasa; or-common sense, that the rope on which Corder was hanged had becttme-an article of arduous competition.

It was the only time in which he joined in the responses, though many of theavwere-most suitable to his desperate condition. The fate of his aged and widowed mother is indeed deplorable, and entitles her to the sympathy of every, humane and benevolent bosom. She has within very short period been by the ordinary course of nature, of three sons the only son whom she had left is now to, be wrenched from her by the exterminating grasp of public justice. On Monday morning, at half-past nine o'clock, Corder was, by his own.

request, taken into the prison chapel: to attend for Ae last time divine service. During the service he did not betray any extraordinary emotion. The remaining particulars of the wretched man's conduct will be found stated; with great minuteness in the statement which Mr. Orridge has drawn and' which is as follows MR. ORRIDGE'S STATEMENT.

Upon William Corder's returning from the Shire-hall', after he had received sentence, I took him- into my offices and' ex-plained to him thatT had a melancholy and painful duty to per-form with respect to-him, and that a part ef that duty was to have him immediately stripped of and have the prison-clothes put on htm. This was accordingly done; I then told I thought the sopner-he could forget-all earthly matters the better, and therefore if he had any request to make, I- begged he would recollect himself and do il immediately, and that I would instantly tell him if his wishes, whatever they might be, could or would be complied with. After some consideration-, he said1 it would be a great consolation to him if his wife could bepesmit-ted to spend the remainder of his- time with him. This, I told him, was impossible, but that- she would be allowed two inter-views wi'th him he Was then removed to-another-room. I hinted to him that his defence, 'though' perhaps ingenious, could not be belieyed, and that surely he would feel an inward satisfaction in confessing the He then declared his- defence was true, and that he had nothing to confess'; indeed, he said the confession of his faults would only tend to disgrace his family more, and- could be of no use to his soul, and upon any other question put to him respecting the murder during that evening he preserved a sullen silence.

During the evening lie mentioned the particulars of his marriage; he stated that he had left- home the latter end of-September; that he went to Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight, and Southampton that he returned tp London in about two months, and then advertised for a wife that- he had 45 applications- to the advertisement, and that one of them was from a lady who wrote to him to say that she should go to church in a certain dress, and sit in a particular place; and requesting to goto church with his left arm in a black sling, a black handkerchief round his neck, and place himself in such a position that they might see each other, and then judge if a personal interview would be desirable. He said he accordingly went to the church, but by some means he had mistaken the hour of divine service, so that he never saw that lady. He. said that after he saw his present wife he never left her till they were married, that from the time of his advertising to his marriage was about a week. I observed to him that he was a most fortunate man, under those circumstances, to have met with a woman, who.

had been so kind to him during the whole of his confinement. I then left him. My two servants told me the next morning that he fell asleep about eleven, and' slept till after four o'clock; that he did not talk to them. During Saturday the Chaplain (Mr. Stocking) was, several times with him.

At other times I now and then hinted the necessity of confession. In the course of that, day he said that confession to God was all that was necessary, and that con-fession to man was what he called Popedom or Popery, and he would never do it." It was hinted to him, some time in the day, that he must have had great nerve to dig the hole during the-time the body lay in his sight. His reply was, Nobody knows that the body-lay in the barn and in sight whilst I dug the and would then say no more. on the subject, but exclaimed, God! Nobody will dig my grave His wife saw. him in my presence for near an hour.

He expressed much anxiety about her future welfare: she entreated him, to forget her, and employ his few hours yet remaining in prayer for his salvation and eternal welfare. I went to his room on Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, with an intention of sitting an, hour or two with him but he had gone to bed, and was and my men told me the next morning that he slept until near, three o'clock. On Sunday morning Stocking, was with him early, and-endeavoured to lead his mind to the necessity of confession he attended Chapel and was very much afFected about half-past twel ve his wife had her last interview they were both very much afFected. length, aqd commented1 upon it, as he proceeded, ne miu tne Jury, if they were of Opinion that by one ox tvio, or any, or all of the means charged, (he deceased met her death, and by the hands of the prisoner, the law. and the' justice of.

The Learned Judge expressed himself with warmth upon this topic, and again strongly deprecated the Minister's conduct. His Lordshirj next proceeded to comment on the prisoner's defence, which, no doubt, under eooil advice, had relieved; himself and the Jury from that which would have been part of their duty had he-taken a different course. The prisoner had avowed- the.

facts chareed. as to day, place, arid He had. himself The Granel and. Sf.nnp T.nmhiinn ICEMAN's PILLS are allowed to be the' most also identified the body as that of Maria M'arteri. His.

defence not only avowed this, but went on to charge of the' death upon the deceased herself) He had charged suicide upon Maria Marten herself. In commenting on the evidence of the father, the Learned Judee called the attention of the Jury to the "7 -wvwoiui j. ijpaiai.jtuii jtui eiiuuuauy removing, diiu preventing the future recurrence of those disorders which arise from him in the indictment, or Mat ne was not clearly anu distinctly proved to be guilty of it, they would do their- duty by acquitting him; but if they should be of opinion that the prisoner was the person who murdered Maria Marten, they could discharge their duty to God and to their country in no other way than by returning a verdict of guilty, without any regardto tits', consequences which might flow from it. Ann Marten, the mother-in-law of the deceased, was the. first witness she proved her knowledge of the prisoner, and his intimacy with Maria; that she was pregnant by.

him that a child was born, of which he admitted he was the father that Maria, who had gone away to lie in, returned with the child, which died in a fortnight that he had frequently promised to take her to Ipswich to marry her, but something arose to prevent it, till the day laid in the indictment (the 18th May, 1827 that on that day he called at witness's house, and induced her to meet him at the barn in men's clothes, that she might not be recognised and they were to proceed' to.wards Ipswich, where he said he should her the following morning that they left the house by different doors, and she had never seen hep since that on the following Sunday she saw the prisoner, and asking what he had done with Maria, he replied he had left her at Yarmouth; that on many subsequent occasions, she had made inquiries respecting her, and always received for answer that sho was residing with a friend, a Miss Roland, at Yarmouth, and was very well that in September he took leave of her (the witness,) and said he was going to take Maria to London, where he should njarry Jhcr, and she had never seen him till he was arrested on present charge. Thomas Marten, the father of the deceased, corroborated the 'evidence of his wife, as to what passed between his daughter and Corder, and the circumstance attending her disappearance on the 18th of May. Corder afterwards told witness, that he was going to meet Maria at the water-side and marry her as' lie could not knarry her when she was at Ipswich, being obliged to go to London about the licence. The witness proceeded to state, he had -afterwards received two letters, which he gave to a gentleman who had examined him, and had since searched' the Red Barn at JJolstead. It was on the 19th of last April.

On lifting up the from the barn floor, he saw some great stones lying in the middle of the bay, and an appearance of the earth having been disturbed. On that spot he poked down the handle of a rake, and turned something up which was black. On getting further assistance, with a mole-spike (a small round sharp iron about A foot long) they dug to the body, and found the handkerchief tied round tho neck, apparently very tight. It was lying down, though not stretched out. The legs were drawn up, and the head bent down into the earth.

They left the body alone until the coroner and the surgeon came, when they cleared the earth the body, and raised it up from the floor. On examining it in the light, the mouth looked like Maria's, who had also a wen on her heck. Underneath the body was found a shawl; there were besides, ear-rings, an ashen busk of a pair of stays, jpart of a chemise, and two combs in the hatr. Maften swore positively tQ the body, found being that of Her sister, as well as. the clothes worn by her on the day she left home.

George Marten proved that he saw his sister on the day she last left the house with Corder, who carried a gun in his hand which he said was loaded, and therefore, cautioned 'witness not to meddle with it. He never saw his sister after that day, but he saw Corder on the same day, between three and four o'clock, come cfcom the barn alone with a piqk-axe, and proceed homewards ijfrqugli the fields. He was positive as to his person. A number of other witnesses, were examined tending chiefly to shew the intimacy that subsisted between- Corder and the deceased; and several of his, letters to individuals were put. in, wherein he.

describes Maria as his wife, and that they were residing at the Isle, of Wight. Lea, police officer, who arrested Corder, produced a sword and a brace of pistols-found at Grove House, Ealing-lane. Oflbrd, a cutler ab.Hadleigh, swore to, the sword produced as being the one put into his hands by. Corder, to be sharpened, in March John Lawson, the surgeon, who examined the body of the deceased when found, described the situation in which' it was -discovered, and proved that her death was caused by a. pistol ball passing through her head, and by a stab in the heart with a sharp instrument he also, produced the jaw, and shewed where, the foall had dislodged two teeth.

It was now half-past six, and as it was found impossible from the number of witnesses still remaining for examination, the anticipated length of the prisoner's, defonpe'aha the charge -of the Judge, to go through the whole of the case, the Lord Chief Baron thought it expedient to adjourn the Court till the following morning. The Jury were consequently locked up, and proper officers sworn to attend them during to. prevent -any intercourse with strangers.

It was not coinmon for persons committing that crime first to shoot and then to stab themselves in different placesi It was a very extraordinary circumstance, that she Should so destroy especially at a time when she was expecting the greatest blessing a young woman could hope-for namely, a matrimonial, union with, a person it was confessed she was attached tp. The case was now in their hands, and he had no doubt they would do their duty to their country and their God. They were called upon manfully to do, their duty, and they would do it, let the consequence of their verdict he what it might.

The Jury retired iind' returned in a quarter of an hour, finding the prisoner Guilty. The Lord Chief Baron then passed the awful sentence of Death upon the prisoner, and said it was hripossibils for the Jury to have come to any other conclusion, for there was undoubted evidence of his guilt, and urged him in the. most impressive manner to make the best use of the short time allotted, him- in this- world to tiiake his peace with his Maker.

Much qf this alteration may he attributed to the fatigue, incident to his situar The fact of the alteration was, however, too apparent tp escape observation. His attention was intensely directed towards the surgeon during the whole of his examination. The anxiety of the crowd outside during the day was almost unexampled. There were few ladies within the Court, the risk of the tremendous rush being perilous, enough for the other sex, but ths external stone basement of the, windows, particularly that behind the Judge, was filled by ladies, whose, curiosity through-c-ut the day was not damped by the. heavy showers of a thunder storm which fell in rapid succession, and pattered upon their umbrellas with a sound which once or twice interrupted the business, of the Court.

Several of the windows were broken by the pressure of the throng. FRIDAYi At a-quarter before nine-Corder wars' the bar, and the-examination of witnesses for. the prosecution proceeded. M.r. Charles Nairn, surgeon, deposed as to the shocking state in which he found, the hody of the deceased -Mr.

He again recovered himself but ai.mdst.im91ediate.ly-, on the allusion to his getting the sword sharpened, he was.near, falling, but was upheld by the gaoler. He, however, from this time, evidently grew Weaker and less composed, He more than once drank some cold' water, which was given to him by the gaoler. He evidently felt that the whole of his defence overturned, by the evidence of the surgeons of the various wounds found' on of the deceased, and Targe drops of perspiration started from his forehead. On hearing the foreman pronounce the fatal word' guilty," he raised his hand slowly to his forehead, pressed: it for moment, droppedit most His head' immediately afterwards fell drooping upon his bosom.
