ALLEGED MIIRD'

IN LIVERPOOL

Saturday night, about half-past five o'clock, as a man
named Royles was proceeding along Wood-street,
Stan-
hope-street, he met another man, named Evan Hughes, a
painter,_ who, it appears, owed him some money.. On

Boyles demanding payment, a quarrel ensued, which led
to a fight, and terminated in the death of Royles. Hughes

was immediately taken into custoly, and he was yesterday
brought up at the police-court, charged with the murder.
The ease was not gone into at any'length, only one wit-
ness, a girl, being examined. She stated that she • saw
the deceased knocked down by Hughes, who kid
on which some one called out " If yot

ment. He never rose after, but died almost immediately
Hughes was remanded 'to 'await the result of the coronei'i
inquest, which will 'be held this day at noon.
Tip AUSTRALIAN TRADR.—At present, there are mon

vessels placed on the Australian berths than appear ne-
cessary for the demands of trade. Of passengers there are
but few offering ; and freights are far from plentiful. The
current rates are frem 70s. to 80s. for fine goods, per
measurement, to either Sydney, Melbourne, or Geelong,
and 100 s. to 110 s. to the wharfs of the two latter ports.
To Adelaide, 70s. 755., and to Hobart Town and Launces-
ton, 70s. The rates by the steamers are about 100 s. per
ton. There are now in the port of London 14 vessels

loading for Adelaide, 4 for Geelong, 10 for Hobart Town,
3 for Launceston, 17 for Melbourne, 6 for New Zealand,
2 for Portland Bay, 20 for Port Philip, I. for Swan River,
and 26 for Sydney ; making in all 103 vessels. There are
also the Adelaide and the Crcesus steamers, the former
bound to Adelaide, to sail on the 4th Nov., at noon, and
the latter for Port Philip and Sydney, to sail early in
December. At Liverpool there are now 6 vessels loading
for Adelaide, 3 for for 9S for

Geelong, _ Hobart Town,
Melbourne, 1 for Portland Bay, 8 for Sydney—making in
all 45 vessels ; besides the Golien Age steamer for Mel-
bourne and Sydney, to sail about the sth November. At
Glasgow there are 2 vessels loading for Geelong, 13 for
Melbourne, 1 for Port Phl4, and 5 for Sydney—making
in aP 21 veF As. At Greenock there is one vessel loading.

for Sydney. At Gra-ngemouth there is one vessel loading
for Melbourne. At Southampton one vessel is loading for
Port Philip, and two for_ Melbourne, besides the Ripon
steamer for Port Philip and Sydney, to sail on the 4th
November. At Bristol there is one vessel loading for
Geelong, seven for Melbourne, and one for Sydney. At
Hull one vessel is 'loading for Melbourne. It therefore
appears that there arc at the present time, in all ports, no
fewer than 187 sailing vessels and four steamers for the
various Australian- colonies.
FRAUD ox site COIIPOILLTION.—The magistrates at
the police court on Saturday were engaged in investigating
a charge of conspiracy to defraud the mayor and -corpora-
tion, brought against Mr. William Rowson, a cnntractor,
and Mr. William Clarke, clerk of the works. Prom the
evidence of Me. Weightman, surveyor for thecorporation,
it appeared that the corporation began building the new
gaol at Walton in 1849, and he at that time appointed the
prisoner Clarke to undertake the superintendence of the
bricks deavered, and it was his ditty to examine the bricks
and to certify for the number delivered. He (Mr.Weight-
man), in `lB5l, entered into a verbal contract with Mr.
Rowson;th supply bricks at prices ranging from 15s. to
275. 6d.• per 1000, according to the quality-of the bricks;
and, according to the certificates signed -by Clarke, the
number of bricks made up to the close Of' the season, on
the 13th or 14th of September, 1851, was 6,150,230, and
the nuMber of stools were stated to be blue. He gave five
certifirates for payment, one for '£7oo, and four for £lOOO
each • and on the 26th of August, 1852, he made a debtor
and Creditor account of the -whole transaction, from Mr.
Clarke's books, and after making some deductions,
amounting to £484 18s. 9d.,! from Rowson's account, he
found one balance remaining in Mr. Rowson's favour to
amount to £424 16s. 9d., for which he certified, and which
was pia by the treasurer.—Mr.. A. Tweedie, clerk in the
treasurer's office, proved hating paid Mr. Rowson the
' money for the bricks, and product& the
bricktnakers, who hadbeen in the employ-of Mr. Rowson
during the season of 1851, were examined, with a view of
showing that the amount if bricks alleged to have been
matte and delivered at the, gaol, was not correct, as only
eight'brickmakers were.employed,=not nine, as alleged ;
land one of the witnesses,. mamed• Charnock, who, every
witness examined admitted, made the most in the field,

and the

at the most, two—in .forty could make 713,490 bricks in a
season (the amount necessary to make up the number al-'
lend to be delivered).-After these witnesses had been
exaMiaed, the case was remanded-until Saturday next.—
Tlae,bail on Rowson was.fixed at £1;000, and two sureties
of £5OO each; and on Clarke £5OO, and. two sureties of

EXTRAORDINARY CASs OF LONGEVITL—Some ex-
citement was created about Canaan-street, Nottingham,
on Sunday last, in consequence of the preaching in the
Primitive Methodist Chapel of Mr. George Fletcher, of
London, who will have attained, in February next, the
extraordinary age of 107 years. Mr. Fletcher was left an
orphan at the age of thirteen, when he enlisted in the
army, and served in the first American war. In the
course of a few years he joined the guards,
and was under
the command of Sir Ralph Abercrombie, at whose death
lie was present. After a service of twenty-one years he
was discharged, and was employed in the West India
docks until he was about ninety years of age. He was a
class leader amongst the denomination to which he be-
longed for eighty years, and had conversed and associated
with Wesley and Whitfield. He walks perfectly upright,
can read clear print with the aid of glasses,
can hear
tolerably well, and is remarkably cheerful and conversa-
tional.—Nottingham Guardian.
FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.—" For upwards of nine
years, (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of Winchmore Hill,
Middlesex,) I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent
medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with head-
ache and indigestion ; but a friend having induced me to
make a trial of Frampton's
Pills , I now inform you that a
few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period
of time I have taken them in preference to any other medi-
cine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills.
I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by
