The witness, Joseph Thomas, identified the clothes produced by Hughes as belongity , to his brother, the prisoner, and worn by him on Saturday night. The pocket handkerchief was like one which belonged to his mother, but could not exactly identify the pocket. M Isaac Byerley said, I live at Upton, and am a I went yesterday to see the body, I examined the wound in the throat. It was a transverse wound across the throat, five or six inches in length, which divided the windpipe, the front of the gullet, and several of the large blood vessels—which would cause almost instantaneous death. There was only another slight wound upon the right arm. T know the prisoner. Was called in to attend him 6or 7 weeks ago. He complained of headache and drowsiness, and other symptoms, which led me to conclude the brain was in an excited state. He was bled, and other appropriate remedies were used to allay the excitement. He improved under the treatment; and at the end of a fortnight he came to my house and told me he was better, and able to go to work. About a fortnight after (between two and three weeks ago) his mother came to me again, and told me he was odd in his manner, and made queer remarks. I saw him ; his 'leadache and giddiness appeared to be relieved. I 'm, to discover the state of his mind, his answers rational. I again ordered Isurgeon Questioned 11 found lies, and his mother reported On Friday morning she called not quite so well. I gave and other reme favourably of his state. on me and said he was another blister for the back of the neck, and the mo ther promised to bring him over, but she did not, and I never saw her alive again, and understand the blister was not applied. I think such a wound as I saw on the throat of the deceased, if inflicted during sleep, would have caused such a rush of blood as to produce almost instantaneous death, and would prevent any resistance being offered In answer to Sir Edward Cust, the witness said, when he saw the prisoner's mother on Friday, she said if he did not get better it would be well to have him sent to the Asylum, and he strongly urged her to do so. He was al ways quiet, and she never complained of any violence, only of his absurd remarks. _ _ _ The depositions were then read over by Mr. Towns end, the magistrates' clerk, after which Mr. Case read over the prescribed form of caution, to which the priso ner, with considerable indifference, merely replied :—" I have nothing to say against it." He was then taken from the bar, and in the course of the afternoon removed to Chester Castle, to await his trial at the assizes, which commence on Saturday. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE VENTILATION OF RAILWAY CARRIAGES. A plan which appears to be well adapted for introduction during the present weather is proposed, of applying to the roofs of railway corriages horizontal tubes with bell mouths, arranged to catch the air while the train is in motion and direct it into the interior, the currents of air being divided into streams by passing through wire gauze screens, and outward currents of air being produced by deflecting win dows, composed of vertical panes of glass, and mounted so as to be capable of being turned in either direction and accommodated to the motion of the train. SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAY.—The direc tors of this company have issued a long statement in respect to various proceedings taken by certain share holders, who are endeavouring to bring about an agree ment for a lease of the line to the London and North western Company, at a rent equivalent to Vy per cent. per annum. The directors state that a binding agree ment, under seal, already exists between the Shrewsbury and Chester, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and the Great Western Railway Companies, for the working of the lines and the interchange of traffic; which agreement will take the precedence of any other that may be pro posed ; and they argue that this will be by far the most advantageous course for the Shrewsbury Companies. TRAFFIC RETURNS.—The traffic returns for the week ending July 25th, on the undermentioned English lines of railway, are as follows : 1852. 1851. 51,241 London and North-Western 63,239 Midland 23,758 23,147 Lancashire and Yorkshire London and South-Western London and Brighton Great Western Belfast the priests know that their forwardness in these contests would disgust so many, that policy makes them refrain. But making tha se allowances, what a picture does the rest of Ireland present. The priests have thrown them selves into the front of the battle. They declare that political power shall be theirs. Aud the people, unable to perceive the mischief of such a system, blindly follow them.—Morning Herald. Roca DALE.—We have had a good demand for fine an I mid dle; qualities of flannels; strong Yorkshire goods and coarse flannels were in moderate demand. The wool market was ra ther dull, and manufacturers would only purchase for present use. Prices remain firm. NOTTINGHAM.—There is not so much doing this week lace trade as last, nevertheless, a fair business has been done as compared with many weeks since the be;inning of June; the principal sales have lately been made to the Continental buyers, particularly Germans and Belgians, but their purcha ses have not been so large as they otherwise would have been, had not the price of good, especially plain nets, been necessa rily enhanced by the increased rate manufacturers are now compelled to pay for their yarns, and which from present ap pearances we expect will be still further advanced in price. This being a time that is called "between seasons" in the ho ate rates. Bacon keeps scarce, and prime long middles sell at 53s to 54s on hand. Hams in good demand at 62s to 64s for prime. Lard in limited supply; bladdered 60s, and kegs 555. MONDAY, AUGUST 2. There has been a good demand for Butter since our last re port. Holders are firm at an advance of 2s to 3s per cwt., and the market is nearly cleared of all fine qualities. Fine Water ford may be quoted 73s to 745; Carrick and Clonmel, 70s to _ _ 735; Belfast, 70s to 735; Sligo, 66s to ;0s; pickled Cork 2nds, 665. per cot. landed.

We have no rule of exclusion by which, in England or Scotland, a clergyman is forbidden to appear upon the hustings. It is nothing else than a natural sense of pro priety which keeps them away. Probably, if we examined the proceedings of all the elections in England, which sent 500 members into the House of Commons, we might de tect as many as one, two, or even three clergymen who have acted as proposers ; and these, we doubt not, would be found in uncontested elections, where the appearance of the rector of the parish was held to be ornamental, and complimentary to the elected members. Into scenes of actual strife the clergy never venture. Even the most prominent,---such as Dr. IWNEILE and Mr. STOWELL,— content themselves with the publication of a letter, or the delivery of a speech, not at the election, but at a separate meeting of Protestants, where strife and wrangling are not likely to be found. In Scotland the same rule pre vails. We do not believe that one clergyman, of any church, appeared on the hustings, as a speaker, at any one of the late Scotch elections ; nor is the same rule much transgressed by Protestants in Ireland. We have not observed the name of a single clergyman of the Church of Ireland, nor of more than two Presbyterian ministers, in all the recent elections in Ireland. Throughout the Pro testant Churches, the same feeling seems to prevail, amidst many differences on other points,—that the bitter and vehement contentions of a popular election were not scenes in which a clergyman could mix with propriety or with safety. Entirely different, however, has been the conduct of the Romish priests. Never before did they so generally plunge into these contests. We took the trouble, yester day, having some Irish newspapers in our hands, to note down the names of the R3mish priests who took part in the nomination of candidates, or made speeches from the hustings, et the late elections. Our list, made in a few minutes, is of course imperfect,—but it may give some idea of the extensive nature of the clerical movement. In the borough of Carlow, the Rev. Dr. Walsh, of Carlow College, nominated Mr. Sadleir. In the borough of Galway, the Rev. P. Daly, P.P. nominated Mr. O'Flaherty. In the borough of Clonmel, the Very Rev. Dr. Burke, P.P., nominated Mr. Lawless, and the Ven. Archdeacon Lajran spoke in his favour. In the county of Cork, Mr. Scully was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Corkran, P.P. In King's County, Mr. Bland was seconded by the Rev. Dr. O'Rafferty, P.P., and Mr. O'Brien, by the Rev. W. O'Malley, P.P. In Tipperary, the Very Rev. Dr. Burke, P.P., and the Rev. J. Morris, P.P., proposed Mr. Scully ; and the Rev. Mr. Laffan, P.P., seconded Mr. Sadleir. In Waterford, the Rev. Mr. Flynn, P.P., seconded Mr. Power. Jr. Leitrim, the Very Rev. Dean Dawson, P.P. posed Dr. Brady ; and the Rev. P. Curran, P.P, , pro- posed Mr. M`Mahon In Carlow County, the Rev. Mr. Lawler, P.P posed Mr. Keogh. In Meath, four priests, the Rev. Mr. Kelly, P.P., the Rev. Mr. Power, P.P., the Rev. R. Ennis, P.P., and the Rev. Thomas Langan, united in recommending Messrs. Corbally and Lucas. In Queen's County, the Rev. Mr. Fitzpatrick. P.P., proposed Mr. Dunne. . - In Mayo, Dr. M`Hale himself proposed Mr. Moore, and the Very Rev. Dean Burke and the Rev. Mr. Har diman recommended Mr. Higeins. In Limerick, the Rev. Mr. Hickey, P.P., proposed Mr. Monsell, and Archdeacon Fitzgerald, P.P., spoke in his favour. In Westmeath, the Rev. Mr . Co g idan, P.P., proposed Mr. Urquhart, and the Rev. Mr. Dowlin g , P.P., spoke. in Wexford, the Rev. I. Redmond, P.P., proposed Mr. Morgan, and the Rev. P. Devereux Mr. M'Mahon. In Galway, we find Dr. 111` Hale again, proposing Mr. Bellew, and the Rev. .1. Macklin, P.P., recommending Sir Thomas Burke. In Clare, we find the Rev. Mr. Lynch, P.P., the Rev. Mr. Quaid, P.P., tne Rev. J. M‘Mahon, P.P., and the Rev. Mr. Rourke, uniting in the recommendation of Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Fitzgerald. 1 In Monaghan, we have the Rev. P. Brennan, P.P., • - r)r. Gray. proposing v In Kilkenny, we find the Rev. Mr. Aywartl, P.P., re- commending Serjeant Shee. And in Limerick City, the Re proposing Mr. O'Brien. I. Bralean, P.P. Now these names, we observe again, are merely those which fell under our notice in two or three newspapers. Probably an equal number have escaped our view. Let it be remembered, too, that in all the civilised and Chris tianised parts of Ireland the same feelings prevail which are uniretaal in gn g land and Scotland, In Dublin and COMPARATIVE STRENGTH OF PARTIES We presented to our readers last week a summary of the comparative strength of parties in the new Parlia ment, as far as the returns had then been completed.

This day concludes what has justly been termed " the great monster race meeting of the year," Goodwood ; and the events that have there been decided since Tuesday have been productive of a fair amount of interest and ex citement amongst the speculators who have deemed it ex pedient to stay at home. To give a detailed account of the business done, however, would be superfluous. Suffice it to say that Weathergage, the winner of the Stakes, al though he was quite out of favour on the day of the race, 25 to 1 being freely offered, has nevertheless been backed in this market for a great deal of money, at a price as low as 12 to 1 ; therefore it is not what is usually termed a " turn up," the layers of the odds having invested their full amount against him; on the contrary, Surprise and llaricot were in force, the former at 5 to 1, and the latter at 6to 1. Kingston, the winner of the Cup, like Wea thergage, was not much fancied on the day of the race, 6 to 1 being freely offered, although at the beginning of the week 3 to 1 was the highest offer, and Stilton went to 5 to 2 ; but, on the afternoon of the race, was backed against the field at evens. Yesterday, £9OO to £lOO would have been taken about Stockwell for the St. Leger. To-day 6 to 1 would have been taken to a large amount had there been layers. Nothing else mentioned for this or any other future event. in consequence of the immense amount of money lost on the Goodwood/Stakes, twenty of the London list shops have been closed. One individual kept open until twelve o'clock on Wednesday night, and actually received £5OO from the public. Mr. S. Day, of Newmarket, in jumping out of a fly at Goodwood, on Friday, fell into a ditch at the side of the road, and broke his leg. Mr. Osbaldeston has named Sister to Mountain Deer Sylphine. Garvey, the jockey, had his arm broken at Goodwood last week, through Lord Clifden's Sackbut falling. Mr. Parr, the owner of Weatherbit, the winner of the Goodwood Stakes, and a certain portion of the ring, well known in the " play" world, are said to have won large amounts, their confidence in their pet having been greatly increased by a favourable trial with Melford, whom he beat at even weights. Weathergage was sold out of the Duke of Bedford's stable last year for £4O ; he remained with Armstrong, at Newmarket, fora short time, and was ultimately purchased by Mr. Parr for £6O. When tne property of the Duke of Bedford he was thought a most inferior animal, and not worth (raining, Mr. Armstrong was also pleased to get rid of his bargain. Had Montague, who ran second, won the Goodwood Stakes, Mr. Davies would have won £55,000; as it was, he just squared himself. He won £B,OOO on the Cup, having bet against everything in the race but Kingston. The value of the various stakes contested for at Good wood during last week amounted to .C 16,135 ; and the number of horses started, including walks over, 256. A promising yearling colt, by the Libel, out of Fran tic's dam, broke away while being lunged at Daneburv, a few days ago, ran down the road, dislocated his leg, and was destroyed. THE CHARITIES.

AlANcii EST E 11.—In yarns, the hardening tendency has con tinued since Tuesday; but sellers appear to be getting on ra ther faster than buyers, for, although transactions are still taking place, something more of hesitation has been observa ble the last two days, in the giving out of orders, and business is on the whole less active. The advance, within the last twelve or fourteen days, may be stated at about id per lb on the ave rage of numbers, some more, some less. The home consumers have been the principal purchasers, but shippers have operated with increased freedom. The India houses, however, have done but little, and the kinds suitable for their trade have improved the least. Fine counts of good single range high. In the department of goods there is more doing in domestics, chiefly by the home dealers ; but, as regards prices, all that can be saidis, that the previous terms aremorereadily obtained than they were a week back. Long cloths and T's are in no degree improved. In 36-inch skirtings full prices are obtain able under a good demand ; and the same remark applies to printers above Ilb weight. The India merchants have ventured upon purchases of 40-inch shirtings to a fair extent, end the makers are nosy requiring some little advance. siery trade, there is not much business being transacte is doing is principal) n small orders for the borne demand to assort stocks.

Flour was held for former rates, which buyers being unwilling to pay, few sales were effected. Some disposition, however, was manifested to make investments at a little under present prices. Oats were offered at d per bushel reduction, and little or nothing could be done in Oatmeal, e% en at a corresponding abatement. Indian Corn on the spot was almost without demand, but held for previous quotations ; a number of cargoes afloat, at some dis- tance, have, however, found buyers during the week and to day.

Buyers were in pretty fair attendance, and although the weather was hot and the supply large, a good average demand prevailed. Towards the middle of the market it fell off, and the trade assumed a rather dull turn, prices being barely sustained. At the close of the day a number of beasts, as well as sheep and lambs, were turned out unsold. The prices paid during the day were as follows :—Beef, best quality, heifer, ad ; ditto, oxen, 41d to 5d ; middling to infe rior, 4d to 41d. Mutton, best wether, 6d ; inferior to middling, 6d to 51d ; ewes, 51d to sid ; lamb, 6d to 61d per lb., sinking the offal. Number at market :-2469 beasts and 12,147 sheep and lambs. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET FRIDAY. JULY 30 We have again had a quiet week in Beef ; prices remain as before, but, for the ordinary sorts, holders are less firm in their ideas. There is no new feature in Pork : the stock is very light. Bacon has been in active demand, and holders have been enabled to obtain an advance of Is per cwt, and the market now wears an upward aspect. A supply of Lard having arrived, the price has receded 6d to is per cwt, and the refiners hold back, finding the consumption injured by the high prices lately Paid. Grease Butter Is to 2s per cwt. IRISH PROVISION MARKET. FRIDAY, JULY 30. There has been an active demand for Butter this week, and prices are 25. per cwt. higher. Fine Waterford, &c. bring 72s to 745; and the market being left so bare, higher prices will, no doubt, be got for next arrivals. Middling qualities have not participated in the improvement, but Are sore nimble at 704' 170 fO rtils Octeolt ,; -1 1.;"e r• 000. ies f " 610 o :he A s k en r a v! o idi s tbd !le og , ,jOfl I fe' it)) jol l l ,l or'ftV ce 0. bo vr di tt cb leto 1 5 aid P ro' t l ore ps , I thy it o ,to e r" ee l sle ? 2,CAes . ill' 1 011 oe! 0 ri 9 0 or DC d 00-A 2 e 1 1 10 e i 0 Of 11 g ) P r lie 0 ' ° 1 1 01;°,7ft.!0 De ° O c t , ) 03 tee ill te 511 fot,iol9
