THE MAYBRICK TRIAL.

By the arrival of the R.M.S. Parramatta at Albauy wo are in receipt of the following from our London correspondent: — London, August 2. Tho trial of Mrs Maybrick lor the murder of her husband by poisoning in May last was commenced at Liverpool mi Wednesday, July 21, before Mr Justice Stephen aud a special jury. The court, wus crowded, and the excitement intense when Mrs Maybrick entered the dock. No trial in England has attracted so much attention for many years. This is due partly to the intricacy of the case, and partly to the fact that the parties occupied a high social status, and also that the prisoner is a very haudsome woman. So far the evidence has not differed to any great extent from tbat given at the inquest. Sir Charles Russell, who represents the prisoner, has been questioning the witnesses very closely to try and shake their testimony, but without much result. Mr Michael Maybrick, the brother of tho deceased, admitted that tho prisoner had written to him in March expressing anxiety about her husband's habit of takiDg a mysterious powder. Mr Edwin Maybrick, another brother, also mentioned the new fuct that tho doctors had suggested that, as thu deceased could retain nothing he ate, a damp cloth should be placed ov.t his mouth to allay the intense thirst from which he suffered. In oross-examiniug Ur Humphreys, the duccased'« medical adviser, Sir Charles Russell succeeded in making him admit that if his pal ion t had died on Wednesday instead of Saturday he would have given a certificate of death from acute congestion of the stomach, with inflammation extending to the bownls, or gastritis. Pressed by Sir Charles Russell, the witness said he could not meution any post-mortem symptoms in this caso distinctive of arsenical poisoning which were not also distinctive of gestritis. Being reexamined, Or Humphreys stated that he had no doubt whatever that the deceased died of arsenical poisoniug, and this opinion was founded ou the symptoms during life, the appearances after death, and the results of the analysis. Mr Edward Davis, analytical chemist, of Liverpool, whose evidence had not concluded when the mail closed, stated that he found distinct traces of arsenic in a jug which had contained arrowroot for the deceased's use. Several medicine bottles.also contained traces, and in the pocket of Mrs Maybrick'a dressing-gown were stains, which, on analysis, showed clear traces of arsenic. A NECESSARY PRECAUTION. The Cunard Steamship Company, who own the largest and best equipped fleet in the world, proudly boast that during the many years of their incorporation they have never lost by shipwreck or accident the life of a single seaman or passenger. Dwellers in these colonies have no idea of the precautions taken by this company for the safety and comfort of passengers in the rough and boisterous Atlantic trade. Every berth carries a life belt (as do tho ships of the Union Company), whilst patent life boats and rafts are stowed at every convenient corner of the deck. Every ship carries, too, for tho free use of passengers and crew, an abundant supply of St. Jacobs Oil, in order that the many bruises, sprains, colds, and other ailments incidental to a bad weather tiip may be quickly and surely relieved.
