Mr. Chaplin produced two letters given to bim by Mr. Marten, the father of tbe deceased, which be received from Corder during October, 1827, Ibe object of which was, lo lull suspicioo as to the safety of deceased, whom be represented as residing in Ibe Isle of Wight, and asawaitiog ibe settlement of bis family concerns, that tbey migbi then be married.

Peter Matthews, Esq. examined I reside in London, and have relations at PoNlead I knew Maria rlen. and nlso tbe prisoner, W. Corder; I knew Maria for some years past I saw ber tbe la-t lime, I believe, on the 3lst August, 1826; I was at Polstead, iu July, 1827, aud saw Corder thrice; I pnt a variety of questions to him respecting the note and letter it was a letter wbicb I had sent on the 3d January, 1827, witb a 5 note inclosed, and be denied all knowledge of it I buve in my possession a letter, which I received from the prisoner in August. Gardner tbe witness was recalled, and proved tbe letter to be in Ihe hand-writing of Ibe prisoner.

It acknowledged Mr. Matthews' forbearance, in not prosecuting bim for steaiiug the 5 note from Ihe letter. Mr. Matthews resumed: When I sew the prisoner, in July, 1827, he said Maria was living somewhere in tie neighbourhood of Yarmouth; I had a conversation wilb Ihe prisoner on Ihe i)tb of August, about a letter which I bad written tbe day before, and directed to Maria Ma ten the prisoner saiti he really could uot tell bow to forward il by post, for be cootd not tell what direction lo put on it I met the prisoner on Ihe 10th of November afterw ards, iieur Somerset-House I aked him if be had forwarded a letter lo Maria Marten inclosed lo him for her on Ibe 2d of September He (old me tbft be had I told him that I was surprised al not receiving any answer, or any letter al all from the young woman I pui it to the prisoner wbere Maria Mai ten then was; he said be left her in the He of Wight I ask-d him if he was married, and lie said no, aud he had not yet settled bis family affair, aud assigned that 'as a reason for the delay and not having married ber before. I can state positively lo tbe I9ih of November, because I was leaving town on that day.

James Lee, Ihe officer who apprehended Corder, deposed to the fact- staled in Ihe opening speech and pronuced a pair of nod a flask, iu a black velvet bag or reticule. Examination resumed On Ibe 30th of April, I found a sword at tbe boose iu Ealing, which I had previously taken fro tut nail oo which It hung vhen I was formerly at Ibe bonse.

Tbe Jury having answered to their names, John Charles Nairn, a surgeon, was examined, ond corroborated the evidence of surgeon Lawton.

His evidence went to prove, generally, the wonndsiu tbe body, and that they were of socb a nature Ibat they must, in bis opinion, have been inflicted before death.

Tbey left the house at the aoie time, but by different doors, both going in the direction of tbe Red Baro.

From Ibat period Ibe friends of Maria Marten never saw ber more alive. Before she left ber borne, be told ber be bad received a letter from a person named Balham, nho would lake ber into custody on Ihe ground of having an illegitimate child but Balham ill fell yoa ihat he never gave Ihe prisoner any socb letter. On that day, a yoongr brother of bers saw tbe prisoner going from ibe Red Barn with a pick-axe on bis houlder. The mother of Ihe deceased saw tbe prisoner ou Sunday, be told ber that be bad not yet married ber daughter, and bud placed Ma ia with some friends ol bis at Yarmouth. Up to harvest time, Ihe family of tbe deceased frequently saw tbe prisoner, and he assured tbem that she was still living with bis friends.

Up to Ihe harvest in September Ibe Red Barn was empty. Tbe prisoner ordered Ibat tbe upper bay of the bnrn should be first filled, and was present when Ibe first loads were deposited there. Tbe harvest being over, Ibe prisoner left Polslead, for Colchester. Iu October Ibe father of Ihe deceased received a letter, with tbe London post-mark, in which tbe prisoner slated Ibat be bad made Maria Marten bis wife. In a short time after hits, the prisoner met a gentleman named Matthews in London, and a conversation look place between tbem relative to tbe deceased, wbicb will be detailed to yoo in evidence.

Tbe parents of tbe yonng woman not hearing any thing for a considerable time, became anxions lo search Ibe Red Barn. In April Ibis year, tbe barn was searched, and in Ihe upper bay, one font and a half beneath ibe ground, tbey discovered the body of a female, coveted witb portions of ber dress, wbicb was Identified by tbe friends of Maria Marten as being bers. Upon (be body being found, suspicion fell upon tbe prisoner, and be was arrested in Ealing-laue. Lea, (he officer who took bim into custody, asked bim if be ever knew any thing of Maria Marten Tbe prisoner said, No, never." Tbe officer, on starching Ihe bouse, found a black velvet reticule, lo wbicb tbe mother of Maria Marten will speak. In Ibe bag the officer found a pair of pistols be also found a sword, wbicb corresponded itb the cuts ou Ibe body.

This was an action brought by Ihe plaintiff lo recover compensation in damages for Ihe loss of Ihe services of his lister, who had been seduced by the defendant. The father of the young woman was alive, but at the lime of tbe ocearrepce lo which he was about to advert sbe was living wilb her brother, it became necessary for bim to become the plaintiff ia this set loo.

The plaintiff was an innkeeper in tbe neighbourhood of Halifax, and the defendant was a man of some property residing near tbe same place. In the year 1825, tbe sister of the plaintiff bad Rrst become acquainted with the defendant. It would seem that in tbe first instance sbe had rejected bis addresses on account of some engagement ander whicb she had believed bim to attend to another yonng woman, bnt subsequently she bad, witb tbe fall consent of ber brother and other friends, accepted bim, and be had for some time visited ber on tbe footing of an intended husband.

Brougham) woold say Ibal wbere tbe character of Ihe female bad been before unstained where no carelessness could he imputed lo her parent or natural gaardiaos, and where tbe seducer cloaked bis purpose under tbe mask of an honourable design, such a case presented circumstances of strong aggravation, and called upon a jury for ample damages. Tbey woold bear Ibe story of tbis unfortunate ease from tbe yonng woman herself, and it would be no trifling addition lo Ibe injury whicb sbe bad already sustained, to be obliged lo sustain tbe hardship of presenting ber self fhat day before Ihem. Tbey would Ond Ibat after the birth of the child, Ihe Visits of Ibe defendant had totally ceaeed. By the death of hi father soon after (bat occurrence, he bad been pot into possession of larger properly than be bad before expected to receive, and there could be no doubt that that circumslaace had affected bis conduct towards Ihe iier of the plaintiff.

Be honor'd each but to you 'tis given On wings of faith to scale the heights of heaven With daring soul to pierce the bright abode And view the glories round the throne of God. To walk whilst holy rapture swells the breast. The bright, the promised mansions of the blest. Then as you mark attention's bright'ning eye Tell of those worlds of bliss beyond the sky, Tell of those sounds your raptur'd spirits hear, And heard by none but Faith's delighted ear.

Servants of God whilst lite and power are given, Pursue your toils, and teach the way to heaven, A little while, and then, your seed-time o'er. Your harvest greets you on a happier shore With steady zeal, a humble spirit join, With patience, hope with firmness, love combine In all, affection's winning softness blend, Press nobly on, and faint not to the end, A radiant prize ye shall receive at last, The rich reward of all your labours past. A crown of glory, never doom'd to fade, By love bestow'd by hands eternal made, Which long as He who gave, shall still endure, Firm as his word, and as his promise sure. Yes when the heavens and earth shall pass away, And all yon worlds to shine no more, decay When day and night when time itself is o'er, And all that now exists, exist no more. Ye shall endure, and 'neath your Saviour's eye Robed in His light who sits enthron'd on high, Shall shine more beauteous than the morning star Whose lovely beams enchant us from afar, Or as yon dazzling sun's resplendent ray In the blest regions of eternal day.

MONDAY'S 1YIAII. LONDON, Saturday, August 9. THE Flanders mail of yesterday contains nu news of importance but we have intelligence from the East, more or less authentic, from oilier quarters. Letters from Semi in stale that the troops of the Pacha of Bosnia had revolted against the Porte, and that the Governor of Travnick, a Bosnian town, who had received orders to suppress (hem, was assassinated by Ins soldiery. The causes of revolt are stated to he a want of pay, and a general discontent against the measure taken to suppress (he Janissaries, who still have a stroug party in the extremities of the Ottoman Empire.

From Toulon we are informed that the Iphigeuia frigate, which is doing quarantine there, brought accounts from the Morea, that Ibrahim Pacha had agreed to evacuate the peninsula altogether. It is added, that before he signed the convention, he had received a firman from the Porte, ceding to him the pacha I ik of the Morea; but that he nevertheless promises to fulfil his engagement. When be finds it difficult to maiutaiu himself, as it is, tie may as well avoid coming into collision with an army of fifteen or sixteen thousand Frenchmen and it is not impossible that the Sultan, determined to die with decency, may hare ceded the province, to spare his own government (he disgrace of diiectly giving it up to the infidels.

Ann Marlen, tbe sister of Ibe deceased, corroborated her mother's testimony. Mr.

Andrews: This is tbe case for Ibe prosecution. The Chief Baron: Prisoner, Ibe lime is oow come when I bave to call upon you for your defence to this charge. Tbe prisoner drew from bis poeket a manuscript, wbicb be read to tbe following effect: Gentlemen of the Jury I am not willing to cast imputations upon the character oj any man but I must make a few observations upon what took place at the Coroner's Inquest. And, first, I must observe, that it is improper on the part of the Coroner to act as attorney for the prosecution, as his conduct in the one capacity is very likely to influence his conduct in the other. I must also remark upon the unfairness of preventing me from being present at the inquest.

The Coroner refused my application to be present, although several authorities were cited in tupport of thot application and I repeat that I have now, for the first time, heard the evidence ngainst me, the depositions taken at the inquest hating only bmu read near to aw. But raft is not all; after I was committed to prison a second inquest was held by the Coroner, fresh witnesses were examined, and their depositions taken down. My solicitor objected to this, and asked for copies of the depositions, but they were refused, and I was kept in ignorance of charge on which my life depended. I will ask you, Gentlemen, whether it is in the power of any man properly to defend himself under such circumstances But I bave now heard the evidence laid before yon, and I admit that a makes very strongly against me; but, Gentlemen, it may, and will, I trust, be explained away to your satisfaction. You heard of the nature of my connexion with the unfortunate Maria, and that I took lodgings for her at Sudbury, where she was confined.

She returned to her father's house in a fortnight after which the infant died, and Maria and I buried it in a field. After this, Maria returned to my house at Polstead, whore she remained concealed for two days. The pistols which have been spoken of were hanging up in the room loaded. On returning to her father's, she contrived to get them into her possession. At that period Maria was much depressed in spirits, aud was anxious that I should marry her, and at length I aareed to her wishes and il was arranged that wo 2.
