THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1852.

, The shirt which had been worn by the prisoner at the
time of the murder had the sleeves turned up abov
elbows, and was covered with blood in front.
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

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.

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. Imported from Ireland from the 26th to

the 31st ultimo, both inclusive, 8,255 firkins 426 kegs 532 crocks
