Extract of a Letter from Blr. Themevi Brunton, Landlord 'of the Waterloo Totem, Coatham, Yorksnire, late of the Life Guards, dated September 24th, 1848. To Professor HOLLOWAY. Sir,—For a long time I was a Martyr to Rheumatism and. Rheumatic Gout, and for ten weeks previous to using your me dicines I was so bud as not to be able to walk. I had tried doctoring and medicines of every kind, but all to no avail, in deed I daily got worse, and felt that I must shortly die. From seeing your remedies.advertised in the paper! take in, I thought I would give them a trial. I did so. I rubbed the Ointment in as directed, and kept cabbage leaves to the parts thickly spread with it, and took the Pills night and morning. In three weeks I was enabled to walk about for an hour ortwo in the day with a stick, and in seven weeks I could go any-where without one. I am now, by the blessing of God and your medicines, quite well, and have been attending to my business for more than seven months, without arty symptoms of the return of my old complaint. Besides my case of Rheumatic Gout, I have lately had proof that your Pills and Ointment will heal any old 4vound or ulcer, as -a married woman, living near me, had had a bad leg for four years, which no one could cure, and I gave her sonic of your Pills and Ointment. which soundly healed it when no thing else would do it. Foryeur information I bad the honour to serve my country for twenty-five years in thesirst regiment of Life Guards, and was eighteen years a Corporal. I was two years in the Peninsular War, and was at the Batble of Water loo. I was discharged with a pension on the 9 d September, 1833. The Commanding Officer at the time, was Colenel Lygon, who is now a General. I belonged to the troop of Captain the Honourable Henry Baring. THOMAS BRUNTON. CURE OF A BAD LEG OF TWENTY-ONE YEARS' N, . _ _ Extract of a Letter from Mr. Andrew Brack, Blacksmith, Eye mouth, near Berwick, dated the 10th flay of August, 180. To Professor HOLLOWAY. Sir, —With pleasure and gratitude I have to inform you that after suffering for twenty-one years with a bad leg, which yielded to no kind of treatment, although I consulted, at differ ent times, every medical man of eminence in this part of the Country, but all to no purpose. I was frequently unable to work; and the pain and agony I often endured no one can tell- My leg is now as sound as ever it was in my life by means of your Pills and Ointment, which I purchased from Mr. I. Da vidson, Druggist, Berwick-upon-Tweed, who knows my case well, and will, I am sure, be happy to certify with me, if neces sary, as to the truth of this wonderful cure. ANDR (Signed) EW BR. ACK.

Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's Inn in January, in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large landed estates were burnt, which would all have been preserved in Milner's Safes. From some hundreds of certificates, the following is selected, as one out of many instances is which everything was consumed in, the buildings excepting what Milner's Safe contained : "Clyde-street, Anderston, Glasgow, May 7, 1849. "Gentlemen,—At the calamitous fire yesterday morning. by which our premises, and stock of oil, tallow, &c., were tota l ly destroyed, our books were preserved in the Milner's Fireproof Safe, purchased from you. We have great pleamre in thus bearing testimony to the great efficiency of these Safes. "CHARLES BOYD and Co. "This Safe was most severely tested, the brass knob and brass work about the lock were melted off." "Glasgow, 10th February, 1849. "Gentlemen,—The books and papers which we had in your Fire-resisting Safe, which was subjected to a most intense * heat for several hours at the late fire in Gordon-street, on Thursday last, were wholly preserved—the property saved being of ex treme importance to us. We have, therefore, great pleasure in communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as a protection against fire, and an invention with which fhe public cannot be too well acquainted. " We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants, "KER, DOERING, and Co. " Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, Liverpool." The outside of the above Safe was completely burnt through. "Triumphant Resistance to Robbers." " Gentlemen,—Our Milner's Safe was attempted to be broken open last night; but notwithstanding the great and persevering violence with which the robbers have worked at the door and hack of the safe both of which are beaten in and cut through the outer plates in numerous places.) the lock and bolts re mained true, and saved the contents. You may send us another Milner's Holdfast Safe, No. 6. "Glasgow, Dec. 21, 1848. JAs. RICHARDSON and Co." "Manchester, August 13th, 1847. "Gentlemen,—ln the late Fire in Market-street, which en tirely gutted the whole block of buildings of which my Ware house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you that my books, together with a qt . iantity . of valuable papers, watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public. " I am, your obedient servant, "THOMAS HAIGH, " Woollen Merchant, New Brown-street and Market-street. " Messrs. MILNER and SON." In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests which Milner's Safes have been exposed to—every description of Safe in use—Fire-proof (so called) or otherwise, have been burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the •scientific anti practical authorities who have tested them ; and the Patentees, during seven years' active working of their pa tent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains or cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables, including the strongest Wrought-Iron Safes, Closets, and Doors in the world, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Chambers. Out of upwards of 20,000 of their Safes in use amongst the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses. in Great Britain—the I class best able to appreciate their value — nume rous cases of se vere trial in accidental Fires have occurred, from which Thomas Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they ' are of opinion that no other Safe than theirown would have preserved its contents unburnt : Fire at Mr. J. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Spar ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierce Fire; Safe most severely burnt outside. Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the eetensive builders, Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in them, includingthe contents of a large Irou.Safe and Drawers, standing beside Milner's ; the contents of Milners' uninjured, and in use now. Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong Fire; again the contents of Milner's Safe the only thing saved on the premises. Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth:; a very extensive and destructive Fire; a large Iron Safe, covered with Brick work, with double iron doors, burnt out; Milner's entirely preserving its contents. Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings excepting Messrs. S. R. a d Thomas Brown's, in Milner's Safe.

This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; awl such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing !theumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to tho attention of the atnic,ed.

Sin,—l have hitherto bad a preinuice against naving recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called "Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion. I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that wincn was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom win.

LIVERPOOL STANDARD THIRD EDITION. Standard-Office, Two o'clock, p.m. ~►--- LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET.—Tits DAY. A report circulated in the London Stock Exchange last night that the London and North-Western, to pay 7 per cent., would require the whole of their surplus fund excepting £lO,OOO, caused this stock to fall 3 per cent., and had a lowering influ once on all other shares. This has produced a somewhat similar effect upon our market this morning, yet the decline here has enabled buyers to execute more of their orders. We believe the rumour will prove to be unfounded, and that a reserve of from £30,000 to £40,000 will remain after pay ment of 7 per cent. ; but the dividend now to be paid, it is to be remembered, is accruing from the worst half-year; this half year takes the surplus which the second half-year makes.

They were fined two shillings and sixpence each, and in default of payment will be imprisoned two days. The young desperadoes appeared quite indifferent as to the alternative of impri sonment, perhaps from experience of its mild character, as they had been in durance since Saturday night. It is almost a pity a little salutary corporal punishment could not be inflicted, as all other means have proved defective in attempting to do away with this unendurable outrage on the safety to the property and persons of the inhabi tants. MENDICANTS. — There were not so many of the mise rable Irish brought up as unfortunately has been the case every Monday morning for a long period. One woman, who appeared on this charge, attempted to play off the stale imposition of being deaf and dumb. The police had requested the atten!ance of Mr. Tatlock, a gentleman connected with the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. That gen tleman attempted to converse with the woman by signs, which was impossible, however, as she was evidently unacquainted with his system. He was of opinion that she was not dumb at all, but certainly that she had not been educated. Mr. Rushton was also of opinion that the dumb could soon easily be made to speak in this case, and directed that the same treatment should be observed as was resorted to in the case of a man in custody a short time ago, who, on being told that he was to have nothing to eat until he asked for it, found the power of speech in about an hour after his imprisonment. ROBBERY FROM ST. JOHN'S MARKET.—EIIen Lyon, a woman of decent appearance, was committed for two months for stealing a breast. of veal from the stall of Mrs. Goulding, a butcher, St. John's Market. She had been detected previously in a similar offence. SHOP ROBBERY.—EIIen Depage, also a woman of respectable appearance, was committed for twenty-one days for having stolen a bottle of pickles from the shop of Mrs. Smith, in Great Homer-street, on Saturday night. The prisoner went into the shop just as it was about to be closed, and contrived to get possession of the bottle, which was found under her arm. Ronsaay . IN A BROTHEL.—Two wretched-looking 1 women, named Joyce and O'Niel, were put up for rob bing a man, named Augus Colquhoun, of £22. It ap pears that the imprudent Scotchman, who is an old man, on Sunday evening strayed into one of those dens of ini quity which abound in the vicinity of Garden-lane. While there he fell asleep, and when he awoke he found that a £2O bank note had been abstracted from his pocket book, and that a purse containing two sovereigns and some silver had also disappeared. The former prisoner was seen by another girl, who appeared as a witness, to take the purse from the man. The prisoners were re manded, and the victim appealed to the magistrate for advice, and received a sharp admonition in return. A MALICIOUS CHARGE. —A woman, who gave her name Jane Fox, was charged by another woman, named Catharine Loran, with having attempted to pick her pocket, on Saturday evening, in a shop in Great Char lotte-street. The prisoner assured Mr. Rushton that the charge was false, and had been trumped up by the com plainant in revenge against the prisoner, who had on a former occasion been robbed by Loran's husband, and had consequently preferred a charge against him. The complainant positively swore she had no knowledge of the prisoner whatever, when suddenly one or two officers stepped forward and corroborated Fox's statement relative to the counter charge, the complainant forgetting her positive averments, attempted to give a different colouring to these circumstances, though, in doing so, admitted their having taken place. Mr. Rushton at once dis charged the prisoner, and observed to the complainant that she merited an indictment for perjury. CHARGE ,ON SUS PICION.—A Seotchnian, named Archi bald Shaw, was charged with having concealed himself in the house of Mr. J. B. Neilson, Falkner-square. Mr. Neilson's' footman stated that his master was leaving the parlour door with him about four o'clock on Saturday afternoon., when the prisoner was observed standing behind another door, near the kitchen. Mr. Neilson, naturally conceiving that he could have no lawful business there, despatched his servant for a policeman, and the man was conveyed to bridewell. The prisoner entered into a long narration, the 'object of which was to show that he went into the house to ask for employment, under the impression that he was applying at an office, and con tended there could be no concealment intended, as the servant was cleaning the passage when he entered, the door being open. He further stated that lie had spoken to some joiners, whom he knew. and who were at work in the house. The latter statement was proved to be false, and he was committed to prison for one month. Another fellaw, who was in company with him, contrived to escape. There was, on Saturday, a reduction in the return of cholera cases for the metropolis, compared with the re turn of the day before; but the , Kennington, number of cases is ex tremely heavy. In Lambeth, ennington, Bermondsey, and the low-lying districts, active house to house visita tion has been carried on, under the regulations of the General Board of Health, for the treatment of the pre monitory symptoms of the disease in the earliest stages. CHRISTIAN SISTERHOOD.—We understand that it is the intention of the Rev. Joseph Baylee to establish, at Birkenhead, if sufficiently assisted, an institution " which will provide a home for many a Christian lady, and secure to the church, services which are now lost." The reverend gentleman proposes to take a large house and furnish it, and to receive into the house " a number of ladies who desire to devote themselves to the service of Christ." They would form a Christian family, " with no other for mality than an ordinary well regulated family, with simple morning and evening prayers as in any other family. They would pay their own expenses—some would engage in school -teaching ; others in visiting the sick, and all in some works of piety." «'e are fully alive to the objections which may be raised against such an object, but we hope that the known scriptural firmness which characterises all the proceedings of Mr. Baylee, will secure this institution from all tendency to romanizing or tracts rian influence. We expot to furnish a fuller outline of the plan in our next. 1 C : 4 4' - t -,, , F-' ..... . r. I C CP :: rci a 1.7 0o o: Ea • I •1 4 . • cO • b,.3 • aw •• t0 ...'

EXCHANGE NEWS-ROOM, MONDAY The Niagara, which arrived this morning from the States, brings intelligence of a comparatively depressed nature with respect to the demand for autumn goods, many orders for which had been countermanded since the appearance of cholera, and the exchange market for the steamer had consequently been inactive and heavy; but as the disease is reported to have apparently passed its worst period, and the grain harvest promises to be abun dant, we may hope for more encouraging accounts per next mail. Meanwhile trade in our manufacturing dis tricts continues in a very prosperous condition, and, as will be seen in another column, our exports to some of the principal markets of the world have largely increased during the past six months. The late successes of the Hungarians are looked upon with satisfaction by all parties ; and we think, there never was a subject involving foreign relations in which the people of England, particularly the mercantile commu nity, were more unanimous; and, certainly, when we consider that the brave republicans are virtually defend ing our Eastern empire from another advance on the part of the Autocrat. it is not at all wonderful that we sym pathize where we are individually interested. The share market has advanced a little during the week, but there is still not any great increase of business. Leeds and Midlands, with their small shares, are in de mand at the quotations. Royal Assurance have advanced a little to-day, a rumour being current that a better divi dend than five per cent. is to be given, and that the ruse of transferring the profit already realised from the present to future shareholders, under the name of " capitalisa tion," will not be practised. The quotations of this day are,—Clydesdale Junction, 664; Leeds halves, S F d. ; Leeds sths, 3 d. ; West Ridings, 4A- d. ; Lancaster and Preston, s. 131 ; London stock, 132 ' • London 45.3 g I. g ; Midland stock, 66 ; Midland Is. 121 d., and 13 d.; Royal Assurance, 21- p.m. ; Gas shares much asked for. It is satisfactory that some attention has at length been given by government to the West India mails arriving at Southampton ; and, as will he seen elsewhere, although the place of arrival will not be changed, the grievances so long complained of will be remedied. There has been some excitement in our Cotton market to-day, in consequence of news brought by the steamer of an advantageous tendency to holders (as will be seen - in a postscript subjoined to our detailed account of " the cotton trade," in another column), and 15,000 bales have -been sold at stiffer prices, though barely establishing an advance of an eighth per lb. The sales comprise nearly 4000 Brazils, 1000 Surats, and the remainder chiefly Ame ricans at 41c1 to 6d per lb. ; about 5000 bales have been taken on speculation and for export. The market was steady on Saturday, and the sales also large, at the full prices of Friday, amounting to 15,000 bales (including 3000 sold the previous afternoon, after the making up of the circular), of which about 6000 were taken on specula tion and for export. 1500 were Surats, 1000 Brazils, and the remainder chiefly Americans, at 41d to 511 per lb. Our market for Scotch Pig Iron remains without any material alteration from last week's prices. Mixed num bers may be quoted at 445. Gd. to 455. f o b, at Glasgow. Pig Iron is quoted a shade higher at New York. In the colonial market the principal sales which we have to report since the Circular consist of 150 hhds Barbadoes Sugar, on Saturday, at previous prices ; and 2000 bags white Benares, on the same day, at rather lower rates, the market remaining quiet; and as many parties will be engaged with the two great attractions of the moment—the local fcte, and the Irish pageants—it is expected that the transactions of the week will be limited. Rum continues in favour, and there is more inquiry for Coffee, though we do not hear of any sales ; and the Tea market is quiet, but firm. Our Corn trade has been exceedingly flat to-day in consequence of the fine weather, which intimidates pur chasers. Indian Corn is getting more and more out of favour, and if the potatoes realise their present prospects, this article will go much lower in price, in which ease it may be brought into consumption for feeding cattle, &c. At the present reduced rates there is little demand, even in the Irish markets, except to supply Union contracts. In other articles the English and Irish markets are gene rally further on the decline. At the Wool sales, on Friday, the attendance of buyers was very limited, and for most kinds the aiddings were rather languid. The descriptions offered comprised 579 Ea-t India, 392 Buenos Ayres, 473 Iceland,. and 221 sun di es. The selection of East India was choice: good white declined Id. to Id., while yellow and the lower qua lities realised fully the late advance. The Buenos Ayrean which were sold brought full prices. The usual buyers of Iceland were absent, and a few lots only were disposed. of at 5:1-d. for middling White, 54-d. for Greasy, and 41d. for Coloured. Some business was done in Russian Fleece, Italian Skin, and Mogadore, by private treaty : these kinds are very low in stock, and are wanted. Pe ruvian is in improved demand. Business in Scotch Wools has been checked here in some measure, in consequence of the advance of 20 to 30 per cent. above last year's prices Which lies been realized at the fairs recently held in Scotland. The demand for American Lard has been less active, and a reduction of Gd. per cwt. has taken place, the sales of the week being about 80 tons. Bacon has been in better request, and a considerable business has resulted, chiefly in good ordinary Western for Ireland, at previous prices. There are few transactions in Hams or Shouk ers. A large quantity of New Chees-, in very bad condition, has been sold by auction, at prices ranging from 21s. to 30s. per cwt. Holders of Beef continue firm, in expec tation of better prices, and are consequently less anxious to sell, the business of the week being confined to the immediate wants of the trade. Little doing in Pork. The arrivals of Irish butter being more than sufficient to meet the existing demand, and the present low rates failing to induce dealers to enter into stock, in those cases when holders press sales they are compelled to sub mit to a further decline. The quotations this day (landed) are—for Waterford (new), 64s to 68s ; Carrick (new), 64s to 66s ; Wexford, Carlow, 63s to 64s ; Ballymoney and Coleraine, 63s to 65s ; Banbridge, 63s to 645. LATEST INTELLIGENC E. (BY EXPRESS.)

London and North-western 1324‘, Great Western 82, South Western 33 4i, Midland t 5 a, and Caledonian 28i LONDON CORN MARKET;-YESTERDAY. The weather continues highly favourable for harvest opera tions, which are now pretty general in the neighbourhood of London. The supply of «heat from Essex and Kent this morning was again short; nevertheless, a reduction of 3s. to 4s. per quarter had to be submitted to before progress could be made in sales. The demand for foreign was very limited, and, although factors would have ) ielded in price 2s. to 33. per quarter, very little business was transacted. Flour was easier to purchase. There was very little English Barley at market, and its value remained nominally the same. There was a steady trade in foreign for grinding and feeding purposes, at rates a trifle under those of last week. Oats of home growth, beingscarce, supported former quotations, but the sup ply of foreign being good, secondary and inferior sorts scarcely sold so well as on this day se'nnight. Beans and Peas but litte inquired for, but they cannot be quoted lower. Some new Peas appeared at market to-day, and realised from 28s. to 325. per quarter, as in quality. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARK ET.-YESTERDAY. The supply of Beasts is smaller; trade is consequently more cheerful, and the choicest make rather more money. The number of sheep is also less: the demand, is, however, but small, and it is difficult to obtain an advance on the best kinds. Good Lamb, which is scarce, is more readily sold. Trade is still very bad for Calves, although a slight improvement is dis cernible in the most selling kinds. From Germany and Hob. land there are 579 Beasts, 3.800 Sheep, and 86 Calves; from Spain about 20 Beasts; France, 59; and Scotland, 160. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sir,—l cannot refrain from expressing my great sur prise that Mr. William Earle cannot engage in the water controversy without the unfairness of Bragging forward the names of those who disagree with him in opinion as to the best means of a supply. Surely he could write his ink bottle dry, and yet keep truth on his side by avoiding so unjust a charge as he attaches to my name in his commu nication to the A ItiGn of this day, (August 6.) " Anonymous scribblings " or"false witnessings" , are not to my taste May I not agree with the popular opinion of the inex pediency of a supply of surface water for Liverpool, and by my vote in Council so express my opinion, and yet act the part of an honourable man ? Surely I may, and I am bold to say that I have done so. I say shame upon the unmanliness of Mr. Earle for such an unjust charge. I am, Sir, yours, &c., HUGH NEILL. Mount .pleasant, August 6th, 1849. [We are not surprised that Mr. Neill feels indignant that Mr. Earle has felt it right to connect the names of so many respectable gentlemen with such a shameful charge, and we feel sure that, if they felt it worth while, each and all of them would entirely repudiate it.] MURDER.—John Moore, alias Dreadful, a young mar ried man, residing at Monmoregreen, between Bilston and Wolverhampton, is in custody, charged, on the ver dict of a coroner's jury, with the wilful murder of Ann Morley, servant at a beerhonse, with whom he had formed a criminal connexion, by drowning her in the canal.. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN THE ASSIZE COURT OF DONEGAL.--At the close of the assize business at Lif ford, on Saturday evening, several male and female idiots, confined in the gaol, were brought into the dock to he inspected by Judge Torrens, who wished to have the opinion of Dr. Stewart, the learned and attentive physician to the gaol, and the board of superintendence, and other public officers, as to the state of their health and mind. I 1 was a melancholy yet humorous scene. Some of the poor creatures declined to answer his lordship any questions, stating that he was only an inferior paid servant of theirs : that they were the kings and rulers of this empire. Others wanted to kiss his lordship, and wished to buy his beautiful wig and gown. One of the females proposed marrying his lordship, apd making him a king, as she was queen of the whole world. His lordship modestly declined all the offers, and such of them as he considered better adapted for the poorhouses than the gaol, he ordered to be set:t to their respective unions, with which change they appeared to be well sat tistied,—Fall,yshalaton Herald. EXTRAORDINARY AND PAINFUL CASE.-FOUR DEATHS BY CHOLERA AND MURDER IN ONE FAMILY, IN LIVERPOOL. Yesterday, before P. F. Curry, Esq., the borough coro ner, inquests were held, conjointly. on view of the bodies of James Culkiu and Catherine Celkin, both children. Jane Kane sworn, said,—l am a wiciw, and livein Paul. street. The deceased parties lived in Oriel-street. The father's name was Patrick Joseph Culkin, and i knew him well. The house is in a court. He had three children, namely, James, aged about eight years, Sarah, about seven years, and the third, Catherine, aged about eleven months. No one but themselves lived in the house. One of the children (Sarah) died of cholera on Wednesday evening last. Next morning, at seven o'clock, his wife died. I was present when she died. I saw the husband then, and he appeared to be in a very melancholy way. I heard him say several times that he could not live after her. I asked him to take a cup of tea. He said, No ! he would never again taste food in this world. The deceased children, James and Catherine, were then in the house. I slept in the house on Thursday night. Next morning the husband still appeared to be in a low melancholy way. About twenty minutes before ten o'clock I went out, and left the father and the two deceased children in the house. I gave the youngest (Catherine) into his arms. About .. half-past two in the afternoon I went back. I found the docr fast. 1 lifted the latch, but could not get in. I then went and lifted the window, and got in through it. I looked into the bed where the corpse of his wife lay, and behind the corpse I saw Culkin lying. He had one arm round the neck of the corpse, and the other on her breast. I then observed that his throat :was cut. I did not know then whether he was alive or dead. I unlocked the door, the key of which was inside, and called in assistance. Dr. Kilner was passing at the time, and I called him in. Several neighbeurs also came in. We then found the two 'deceased children, James and Catherine, with their throats cut, and quite dead. They were both on the same bed with the corpse. James was lying at, the foot of the bed, and Catherine by his side. Culkin, the father, was taken to the Northern Hospital. Previous to Wednesday last I never observed anything in his conduct and manner that led me to suppose him to be at all deranged in his intel lect. He was very much attached to his wife and chil dren. I never saw a man more affectionate. After the death of his wife he spoke in such a toolish way that I did. think he was not himself. He has been in such low cir cumstances that be was latterly advised to ask parish relief. (The blade of a razor, wrapped at the handle end with a piece of cord was produced.) The razor-blade pro duced was all he had to shave himself with for the last twelve months. I know it, and have seen him frequently use it. It was tied round the handle end, as it now ap pears. I found it myself. It was lying on the hearth stone. I gave it to the doctor, Mr. Kilner. I did not observe if there were any marks of blood upon it. Mr. John Dixon Kittle!. said :—I am a surgeon. On Friday afternoon last, as I was passing the end of a pas sage in Oriel-street, a woman came out and almost pulled me into a house in the court above. She was too much excited to tell me what had happened. In a room on the ground floor I saw a bed, in which I saw two corpses which had apparently been laid out for burial, and behind the two, next to the wall, I saw Culkin lying in a state of insensibility, and blood about his neck. After that I found that his throat was cut. There was a great crowd of persons collected. I sent out for the police, and then had Culkin removed to the Northern Hospital. He was then partly conscious. I afterwards found the two bodies described by Mrs. Kane. They were both quite dead, and had evidently been so for some hours. Their throats were both cut from one side to the other, which had evidently caused their death. This razor blade [pro duced] was handed to me by the last witness, or some fe male in the house. There were several spots of blood upon it. There was a great quantity of blood on the bed, but 1 observed none on the floor. lam satisfied that the eldest child could not himself have inflicted the wound which I saw on his throat. Ellen Bent sworn.—l am the wife of Nicholas Bent, and reside at No. 2 Court, Oriel-street. I knew Culkin and his family by sight. Mrs. Culkin died on Thursday morning. I saw her husband the same day. He told me that his wife was dead, and that he could not live after it. He also said that if we heard of anything in the paper we need not be alarmed. I saw him again on Friday morn ing. He appeared then in a very curious way. T asked him—" Why did you nat bring your wife and child yes terday ?" (Thursday). He said he had sent to Dou . glas to her sister, and expected money to bury her, but had not got it. That was about ten o'clock in the morning. He also said that he had been to Mr. Jones, who keeps the Harp Tavern, Vauxhall-road, and who had given him brandy and wine for himself and his family for charity,— God bless him ! He waved his hand in a kind of way, and I saw no more of him 'until the afternoon , whenl heard of what had happened. I then saw him in the bed, and the two deceased children with their throats cut in the way described. Mary Guy said : I am a widow, and live at 48, Jordan street. I knew Patrick Joseph Culkin. Three weeks ago he hired a cellar under the house I live in for a school. On Friday week he left, and said he would be back on the following Monday. He came on that day, and said his little girl was very ill of the cholera. I saw nothing more of him till Thursday last. shortly after dinner, when be came and said that his wife and child were dead. He said he would sooner die than live, after the loss of his wife. He also said that his little boy was sick, and he doubted whether he would not be dead Before he got home. I saw nothing more of him afterwards. Mr. Thomas Lea said : iam a relieving officer for the parish of Liverpool. I visited the house of Patrick Culkin on Friday last, for the first time. I understood the family had been relieved the day previously. I found the door fast, and got in through the window. I found a child, ap parently about six or seven years old, lying dead on a table. I saw a woman lying dead on the bed. I saw Culkin and two other children, all lying on the bed with the deceased woman. I advised him to get up, as it was dan gerous to lie with the deceased ; and said I would return in the afternoon, and arrange aboat the interment. I re turned in the evening, and gave him some relief. He was much excited when I saw him the second time. I then saw the two children whom I had teen before in the bed. The eldest was running about the house, and the youngest was in the arms of a woman. I did not observe anything in the manner cf Culkin, beyond dejection for his loss, to lead me to think that he was out of his mind. The CORONER here stated that this was all the evi dence he bad to lay before the jury. Ann Kellett, who lives in Hanover-street, here said' that she knew Culkin, and entered into some particulars. tending to show that he called upon her and her husband, on Thursday night, and that from his manner and lan guage at the door, she thought he was not quite sound in .. his mind. The CORONER said he did not deem it necessary to take this testimony upon oath, inasmuch as acting upon the advice of legal friends, he deemed it better to leave the case to be dealt with by the judges, who would be in the town on Saturday next. The judge had a discretion upon medical certificates of the man's insanity to commit him (if guilty of the murders) to the Lunatic Asylum, where he would be taken care of, or if it appeared that he at the time laboured under temporary insanity, to discharge him should he recover. This power was given by a late act of Parliament. He quoted the following case, as bearing a strong analogy to that before them, from Cox's Criminal Law Cases :—" The prisoner was indicted (Jane, 1848, before Mr. Baron Parke, in Huntingdonshire,) for the wilful murder of Harriet Barton, his wife, by cutting her throat with a razor. It was proved that the prisoner and the deceased were husband and wife, and that, up to the day named in the indictment, he had always treated her and their children with kindness. They were seen talk ing together at their doer at night, and at four o'clock °Ti the following morning it was discover , d that he fat the throats of his wife and child, and that he had at tempted suicide. When questioned by the surgeon, he exhibited no sorrow or remorse, but stated that `trouble and dread of poverty and destitution had made him do it, fearing that his wife and child would starve when lie was dead.' lie made a further narrative, which, coupled with a knowledge of the prisoner's private circu:nst:;nces, in duced the surgeon to form the opinion that ti's prisoner, at the time he committed the act, had not, in con sequence of an incontrolable impulse, to which all lm man beings were suhject, any control over his con duct. The desire to inflict pain and injury on those previously dear to the prisoner, was, in itself, a strong symptom of insanity, and the impossibility of resisting a sudden impulse to slay a fellow being was another indication that the mind was insane. Finally, the surgeon's decided opinion was that the prisoner was in an insane state of mind at the time. Baron Parke told the jury the question was whether, at the time the prisoner committed the act, he was in a state of mind that rendered him responsible for the murder ;. and that would depend upon whether he at the time was aware of the nature and character of the deed he was committing, and knew he was doing wrong by so acting. In this case the prisOner was convicted, and sentence of death was passed, but he was afterwards pardoned." The CORONER concluded by saying that the safest verdict would be one involving the felony, and the case would be dealt with in a higher court. The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Patrick Joseph Culkin in both cases." The accused is still at the hospital, and very ill, but hopes are entertained of his recovery. He bad formerly, we learn, been in good circumstances. On W e dnesday, a presentation, consisting of a purse containing 200 guineas, and an atomic balance, was pre sented to Mr. Daniel Stone, late managing director of the Manchester Mechanics' Institution, on his retirement from that office. E HON. MR. MOSTYN . S LANDED ESTATES.—A week or two hack . , we took occasion to place on record the great success which had attended the sales held by Messrs. Churton, at Tailgate, when very few of the lots remained unsold out of the whole estate, and since that time we find those Lave been picked up. We have now the pleas ing task of noticing the brilliant success which attended their sale at Rhyl, on Tuesday last, a larger number of buyers attending than was ever known ; it was computed that no less than 300 persons were present, in conse quence of which they were compelled to adjourn from the Royal lintel to the newly-erected t ublic-room. The ut most escitement prevailed, and the biddings were most • spirited ; the building lauds ranged from 2s. to 7s. 3d. per square yard, and, though the quanft y which was allotted for that purpose was small, realised nearly £5OOO. The small farms, too, were eagerly sort_ ht after, and some fetched upwards of 40 years' pure; ase on the present rentals. This speaks well for cur two neighbouring rivals, " Tailgate" and " Rhyl," and we trust that as so many spirited capitalists have invested their money, the public will encourage them, by giving to each a share of its support. We ought likewise to mo.tionthat the sale of the s I t l n a and t l e a s s t t a : e ‘ s r a l I s l NNe47lau whally ich s t s o f o u k l, p l n a e c a e r in y every lot being sold at satisfactory price s.— Ch,ester Chron.
