Hudson offered 8 per Cent. for this line as a minimum tlivi- I, with the option of amalgamating with the York and Newcastle ar. This offer was refused by your Directors as inadequate. ere, then, we have the opinion of such a judge as Mr. Hudson this line is werth 8 per Cent., or rather 9, as the York and New le are paying that rate of dividend, and we have the opinion of Directors that it is worth more. 'e have further, in corroboration of both estimates, the fact of line having iu the second year of its existence, paid a dividend Per Cent., besides laying by a considerable sum as a deprocia , fund, and this when the communication with England is inter led at Berwick, and again at Newcastle, by the non-completion of bridge., a result from which, in the space of a year or two, a (H -ind fully equalling Mr. Hudson's expectations may rationally be icipated, if the h'story of the progressive development of traffic on I line is at all analogous to that on other lines. tow, in these circumstances, we hare the shares quoted in the rket at 41. discount, when the York and Newcastle, with which eraalgamation at par was actually offered, is at 51. premium, ex. dividend, only recently paid Ween, if we were to estimate the hit British as a stock guaranteed 8 per Cent., which it might have the discrepancy is still more extraordinary, when compared lines in that position. %Pen the whole there must be some vary egregious misconception atistake relative to this stack. Either Mr. Hudson and the North fish Directors must have been quite mistaken in their calcala• ii, cautiously and elaborately as they were gone into, and sup ted, as they apparently are, by the nascent success of the under :lag, or else the public must have altogether overlooked the merits the line. :n these circumstances, could not the North British Proprietors Lew the negotiation with Mr. Hudson, and even offer him the line a guarantee of 7 per Cent. There can be little doubt he would :opt of such an offer, being 1, or rather 2 per Cost. under his own innate ; and although it might be sacrificing the ultimate valne of shares, still as such a guarantee would centraand 41. premium, I shareholders might prefer the present advantage thus secured to lni, to the probability et a greater profit at a future period.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &e. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, In how many could itbo traced to physical disqualiticatioas and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less iujiny to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on ,he nature and conseenence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the kumitn frame, than any ether to which it is subject. This work contains au accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indalgenco and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or front the follies of advanced age, while saffering from their invariabie consequencee, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or as:aatance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgete that accurate discrimination. n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by Ida possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Patrick Grady, 25, John Maloney, 23, and Thomas Cavannah. 25, were indicted for the manslaughter of Leoeard Thorpe, at Tipton, on the 15th of August. The prisoners were indicted fur wilful murder, but the grand jury ignored the bill for the capital crime. Mr. Meteyard, with Mr. Iluddlestone, prosecuted the prisoners, who were without the benefit of counsel. The facts of the case were as follows—The deceased was, it appeared, a Derbyshire boatman, and had come up for a load of bricks. He went to the Angel public house, and remained there several hours until midnight, in the company of another boatman named Ellis. Grady and Maloney went twice to ask for drink, and were refused, as it was late. On their coming the second time the waitress heard Graby say to Maloney, " Come on, we have given the old b— enough." Ellis was endeavouring to get a tipsy man, named Lewis, home, when Cavannah came up and struck bins. He went on, and the prisoners followed him to a place called the Castle Wall, where a scuffle en sued, and to escape from them he got over the wall (which is a portion of the ruins of Dudley's once cele bratedl castle). He remained there a considerable time, being in fear ; and during the time heard a great noise, and cries of " murder," near the railway bridge on the Birmingham road, a short distance off. It was then nearly one o'clock on the Sunday morning, When Ellis was struck his hat was knocked off, and ono of the party picked it up, and ran away with it. He followed them. Between the time of their leaving the Angel door and going to the Castle, Grady and Cavannah armed themselves with stick, and came up accompanied by others, crying out to Ellis and Lewis, " Come on, you b— English b—s," and they then struck them with the sticks they had procured in the interim. Ellis it seemed was a pugilist, and known by the soubriquet of " Jim Crow." The deceased left the house shortly after Ellis and Lewis, going , in the same direction, and Cavannah was seen running the same way with a stick in each hand. About ten minutes to one o'clock the three prisoners were seen violently beating the de ceased, who cried out, " Oh, Lord ! oh, Lord !" and groaned very much. Shortly after a witness, named Lane, found Thorpe on the ground with his bead lying in the gutter, and a lame man, whom he be lieved to be Grady, peeping round the corner of Birmingham street, which was near adjoining. The deceased was taken on board a " Butty'e " boat, named Cotterell, who examined his head, and found several wounds on it, and at half-past four o'clock on Sunday afternoon the unfortunate man died in the cabin of his own boat. A postmortem examination of the body was made by Mr. Hill, a surgeon, who found sufficient inju ries of the skull to account for the death, amongst which was a very deep wound, and the rupture of some of the vessels of the head. The prisoner Cavannah lodged at the house of a woman named Culliman, and at one o'clock on the Sunday morning ho took Maloney home with him. They both had sticks with them, which they put in the cellar, and told her to shut the door, as the police wore after them, for they met five navvies, who struck them, and they struck the navvies. In half an hour after Grady and another man came in, and said Cavannah had gone to the assistance of Maloney, and took the navvy off him. On the Monday Cavannah burnt the sticks while Mrs. Culliman was out, and on hE r return she found them partly consumed. The other evidence against the prisoners was composed chiefly of statements made by them. Maloney said, " When the man was getting the better of me-, I called for Cavannah, who kicked him off me, and there was not a blow I gave him, but was sufficient to kill him." Maloney also told a fellow lodger, that if no man gave the boatman a blow but what ho gave him himself, it was enough to kill him. James Bunco went to Cavannah's lodgings, and asked, " Have you heard that the man who was beaten by the Irish shoemakers on Saturday night is dead 7" The persons present made no reply, but Ca vannah's wife wished him to leave the room. On the same day Cavannah went to Bunce's, and told them he was going to leave, as he was afraid he should be taken for beating the man that died. Bunce asked how it happened, and the prisoner said, " A fight took place between us and the Englishmen, and we fought until we were separated by the police." Maloney, when in custody, sent for Superintendent Nl`Knight, and said— "lt is hard the innocent should suffer for the guilty, and I will tell you all about it." On Sunday morning I was in front of the Angel Inn, with Grady, Cavannah, and John Reardon, when a party of s men came up. Some words ensued, and Cavannah struck one of the men. I advised him to go away, and he did. One of the party struck Grady, and another Reardon, whose bat tell of. He picked it up, and went away. A police officer came up, and ordered us all off. Grady and myself went towards Tipton, followed by the men, who at Bir mingham-street again attacked Grady, who called me to his assistance, but I refused, and went for a police-officer. On my road I met Ca vannah, who asked where Grady was. I said, "They are murdering him at the corner." Cavannah produced two sticks, which he said he got from the standings. I told him to throw them away. He refused, saying, I will have the life of one of them,' and we went on until we met a man, whom Cavannah struck with a stick. Cavannah afterwards struck a man in a sleeve waistcoat and a straw hat (the dress of the deceased). The man cried out, ' Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord!' When wo got to Cavannah's lodgings I g ave Mrs. Culliman the sticks, telling her to hide or burn them, as Cavannah had killed a man with them. A very similar statement made by the prisoner Ma loney before the magistrates, was put in and read by Mr. Hemp, the clerk of the arraigns. In defence, Grady said, " I was by myself that night, and went home alone." Maloney exclaimed, " Thanks bo to God, I am innocent, and told the whole truth to Mr. M`Knight, thank the Lord." Cavannah merely observed, " I'll leave it all with my Lord and the jury." Fifteen witnesses were called to sustain the case on the lart of the Crown, but the prisoners called none in their defence. His LORDSHIP having minutely summed up the volu miuous evidence, the jury acquitted Grady, and found the other two prisoners guilty, and they were sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment. Sarah Mason, 22, was indicted fur causing a false entry of the death of one John Hodson to be made in the registry book of the Walsall Union, he, John Hod son, being then alive. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, with Mr. ICeating, conducted the prosecution of the prisoner, who was undefended. It appeared that Mr. Horton, a jeweller, held 501. in trust for John Dodson, the prisoner's brother, when he came of age, being a portion of a larger sum placed in his hand for such purpose. The prisoner had received two separate sums of 301. and 201. on account of her brother prior to the month of October, 1844, when she called on Mr. Horton, and told him Hodson was dying at her house in Walsall. By such repre sentations she obtained a further sum of 51., being the interest of the 501. which had been placed iu a savings' bank; a few weeks after she paid Mr. Horton another visit, telling him her brother was dead at her house, but ho refused to give her any more money without a certi ficate of death. To procure this she went to Mr. Slee, the registrar, caused the following entry to be made, had a copy of it, and paid the fee:—" Died 19th October, 1844, John Hodson, locksmith, George-street, Walsall, in the presence of Ann Mason." She took the copy of the certificate to Mr. Horton, received from him the remaining 50/., and made her mark to a receipt for the same. John Hodson deposed to-day that he was 21 years of age the 4th of February last. In October and November, 1844, he was living at Willenhall, and was in good health. She begged for mercy on account of her children. The jury found her Guilty. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, on the part of the prosecu• tion, recommended her to mercy. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL—This law was intended to benefit the public, and persons who infringe it must be made an example of. Under the old system no registry could be made except by the clergyman at the funeral, so that a coffin, even if filled only with stones, must have been interred to keep up the frauds of those falsely or interestedly wishing to register another as dead. This was attended with so much difficulty as to be hardly ever attempted; !Jut under the present law nothing is so easy as for a person so disposed, to make a statement, sign the registry, obtain the certificate, pay the fee, and consummate their purpose. The Act of Parliament, therefore, very properly makes it felony, and it is a very serious offence. Let her go down. I must consider the case before passing sentence.

BURGLARY AND MU George Calvert, 28, Th ffillas 110(198071, 2 8, and James Mell or , 22, were c h arge d with the wiltul murder of William Wood, on the 18th of December last, at Faweather, in the West Riding. Mr. Hall and Mr. hardy prosecuted. Mr. Matthews defended two of the prisoners, Hodgson and Mellor, the third, George Calvert being undefended. It appeared that the deceased resided at a place called Faweather, about four or five miles from Bradford; he lived by himself in a sma ll cottage, which wa s 150 yards from the next neighbour. On the night of the 18th of December he was awoke by a noise at the door, upon which he went down stairs with a hedge knife in his hand, and found in the kitchen four men with their faces blackened; a struggle ensued he struck at one of them with the knife, and then ran out [through the window into the garden, ani thence into a field, where several struggles took place; but at last the men so beat him with heavy bludgeons, and other weapons, that ho was completely exhausted and overpowered; they then car ried him back into his cottage, and laid him down whilst they robbed the house. Atter they had gone, the de ceased got up, and supporting himself by a wall which went along the road, succeeded in reaching the next neighbour. He west excessively ill for some time after wards from the injuries he had received, and he was attended by a medical man, tinder whose care he gra dually improved until the 18th of January, w h e n h e b e . came much worso. He lingered until the 2d of February, on which day he died from water on the brain, occa• sioned by eie violent blows and contusions he had re ceived on his head. The deceased went before the magistrates at Bradford on the 27th of December, and deposed to the facts of the outrage nearly as above. The three prisoners having been apprehended, were PUBLICATIONS.

MARCH. placed within a yard with several other prisoners and some police officers, and were then shown to the de ceased, who picked out the three prisoners as the persons who had attacked him. On the 30th of January the medical man went to see him, and the deceased was then so much worse that Mr. Pollard, one of the magis trates at Bradford, was sent for, to whom he made a d) ing declaration concerning the robbery, which was put into writing, and which, however, merely corrobo rated that which ho had deposed to before the magis trates. He was, however, positive in his (1) ing declara tion, as in the depositions, that the prisoners, whom he had known, and seen only a fortnight before, were tho perpetrators of the deed. As far as the evidence of the deceased went, it was equally positive and strong as against all the prisoners at the bar; but the other evi dence in the case varied as against*them With regard to the prisoner, Thomas Hodgson, there was hardly any more evidence against him than that of the deceased. As against George Calvert it was per fectly clear that he was one at the commission of the robbery, for on Saturday, the 26th of December, Calvert (who had been taken into custody on the 20th, together with another man, named Waller), accosted the officer in whose custody he was, and said, " I've wanted to see you. I can't bide to see this man (meaning Waller) in the lock-up for me. He's as clear as you are. It was me and Mellor, Hodgson, and Newell that did it." After the night of the robbery the police went to the house of the deceased, where they found four bludgeons which had,been used in the attack. O❑ the 26th of December Calvert asked if they had found the sticks. and desired to look at them; and on their being shown to him, be picked out one and said, "This is the one I used that night." On the 25th of February, when in York Castle, he desired to see the gevernor, and having been cautioned in the usual way, he gave a detailed account of the whole of the robbery, which left no doubt as to his being one of the parties implicated. As regarded James Mellor, in addition to the evidence of the deceased, the police, on reaching the field where the struggle took place, found a cap which was shown to him. At first he denied that it was his, but on a subsequent occasion, when an uncle of his came to see him, he said that the cap was his, but that he was never in the house—that he was outside. On a subsequent day, when the prisoners were in the area of,the Court-house, at Bradford, seeing their friends, a police-officer was tying up the sticks which had been found, Calvert, who was standing within a yard of Mellor looked at the sticks, and pointing to one, said, loud enough to be heard by Mellor,," That's Mellor's stick;" to which Mellor made no remark. A fire-rake was found in the house of the unfortunate deceased with spots of blood upon it, and the smocks which the pri soners Mellor and Culvert wore had likewise blood upon them. Mr. MATTHEWS addressed the jury for the prisoners. His LORDSHIP then summed up the evidence, point ing out how it affected the prisoners individually. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, but returned in about half an hour with a verdict of Wilful Murder against George Calvert and James Mellor, and Acquitted Thomas Hodgson. His LORDSHIP put on the black cap, and in a most im pressive manner pronounced the last sentence of the law, urging the wretched men to make the most of the short time that yet remained to them, assuring them that he could not hold out the slightest hope of mercy in this world. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, March 15. CRIMINAL COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAuLE.) James Turner, aged 50, was charged with stealing twelve pecks of potatoes. Mr. Wildman prosecuted. This case was only notice able from the defence set up. The potatoes were traced into the possession of the prisoner, whose account of the way in which ho became possessed of them was, that on the night of the 31st of January he heard some noise down stairs, and, upon going to ascertain what it was, he found the potatoes at his door, whereupon he took them in to take care of them. While the jury were consulting, the prisoner handed in a leaf of the Bible, stating his defence was contained in the Ist and 2d verses of the 22d chapter of the Book of Deuteronomy, as follows: " 1. Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox nor his ass go astray and hide thyself from them ; thou shalt in any case brii.g them again unto thy brother. " 2. And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it into thine own house, and it shall be with the until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to hira again." The reading of these verses was received by the auditory with much laughing, and some clapping of hands. Mr. Justice Minix said that the Bible was a book that contained some excellent rules for our conduct in life, and, according to the way in which they were fol lowed, depended our own comfort here and happiness hereafter, at least thatwas the generally received opinion. The merry people in court did not seem to know much about the matter. His Lordship then told the jury the prisoner desired what he had handed in to be considered as a portion of his defence. It was certainly pertinent to the case, and they would consider it along with the other facts. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M AIV SIO N- 0 USE. Mr. Coleman, of the office of the Registrar-General of Seamen, appeared to prosecute Joseph James Lewis, an able seaman, under the 7th and Bth Vie., cap. 112, for having, by deserting the ship to which he belonged, subjected the captain to considerable expense. The present was, Mr. Coleman said, the first case in which it had been thought necessary to proceed against the defendant upon the clause in the Act which stated that, "in case any seamen shall desert in parts beyond the seas, and the master of the ship shall engage a sub stitute at a higher rate of wages than that stipulated in the agreement to be paid to the seaman so deserting, the owner or master of the ship shall be entitled to recover from the deserter, by summary proceeding, in the same manner as penalties are by this Act made recoverable, any excess of wages or portion thereof which such owner or master shall pay to such substitute beyond the amount which would have beeen payable to the deserter, in case he had duly performed his service pursuant to his agreement." Of the expense and annoyance to which masters and owners had been subjected by the conduct of the seamen they hired, some notion might be formed by the statement of the fact, that the complain ant in the present instance had been obliged to pay for substitutes upwards of SOL more than his men had en gaged to work the vessel for in the voyage from London to Calcutta and back. The 61efendant pleaded guilty. Ile had no fault to find with the ship or the captain, but he had gone ashore with other sailors belonging to the vessel, and got drunk and lost his register, and he had no money whatever. Tho father of the defendant appealed strongly to the Lord Mayor for a remission of the severity of the law. Captain Scott admitted that the defendant had behaved well, except in this particular instance. The LORD MAYOR—I cannot possibly overlook this case ; but in consideration of his youth. and the belief that it is his first offence, I shall sentence him to no more than imprisonment for one month, if he do not pay the whole of the difference between the wages he was to have rsceived and the wages the captain has been obliged to pay the seaman who worked his vessel home. MARY LEBO NE. After the disposal of numerous cases of minor impor tance, a man named William Rig(len, about 28 years of age, and who is a letter-carrier in the employ of the General Post-office, was placed at the bar, charged under the following circumstances. The first witness called was Gilbert Batchelor, who said—l reside at No. 3, Rock-row, Earl-street, Lisson • grove. Oa the 24th of January last I and a friend were shooting in some fields between Kilburn and the Harrow road, and at four in the afternoon the prisoner came from Kilburn-lane across a footpath into a field next to that in which we were; ho had under his arm something which was covered over loosely with a handkerchief. He went round a pond to the edge, where he remained fur about a quarter of an hour, and I observed him scraping up some mould with his hands from the top of the bank. I and my friend continued to watch him, and he soon afterwards came from the spot alluded to towards us, carrying in his hand a handkerchief which I believe to be the same that I, in the first instance, noticed, but ho had no parcel at that time. lie said to me, " I have just now seen four snipes" (pointing to the direction he had come from); and after some further observations my friend and I left him, and went to look after the snipes, but could not see any. Witness then stated that he and his friend repaired to the spot where they first saw the prisoner, and discovered under some fresh mould a box, which was found to contain the body of an infant, with its legs doubled up. The box was produced. Mr. LONG— W hen did you next see the prisoner? Witness —Yesterday afternoon I saw him in Portman square; I followed him, and noticed that he went down Eaton-place, South Audley-street. I went to the sta tion and obtained the assistrnce of a constable in private clothes, who returned with me to the place alluded to, and in au heur and a half from the period o f m y meeting him in the square, he was taken into custody by the offi cer upon my pointing him out as he was leaving Eaton place. I spoke to him about the snipes to which he bad directed nay attention when in the field, at which he laughed, and said . 1 was altogether mistaken. Raymond, 89 D, said that the prisoner when being told that he was charged with b ein g concerned in the murder of the child, alleged that he knew nothing about it. Witness added, that from inquiries made by him, he had ascertained that on the 24th (the day of the dis covery of the murder) lie (prisoner) was absent from his duty as a postman. An inquest had been held upon the body, and a verdict was returned of " Wilful murder against sonic person or persons unknown." Prisoner—t can prove by the inspectors at the office that I was on duty that day, and they will be able to tell the time by the book. I know nothing of the case, nor of the man.

[PRICE SD. known in the sporting world as an extraortlinary pedes trian and runner, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton, on a charge of being one of the mob who had plundered the shop of Mr. Gray, the pawnbroker, on Monday last. Henry Ilaydon, a servant lad, in the employment of Mr. llarding, a butcher, in Southampton-street, Cam berwell, deposa that he was present on Monday last, when the shop of Mr. Gray had been broken into by the mob and plundered of a quantity of property. Tho prisoner was amongst the mob, and he distinctly saw him snatch a round paper parcel, which he had no doubt contained a watch, from a young man who had come out of Mr. Gray's shop, and run away with it. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, the witness said ho know the prisoner before, from seeing him walk a match at the Rosemary Branch Tavern, and also hawk brushes and brooms about the streets. Mr. Games, who attended for the prisoner, assured the Bench that Ito was convinced the case was one of mistaken identity, and witnesses were produced to prove that the prisoner was elsewhere at the time of the riotous proceedings in question. He was, however, re manded to a future day. ~..., : •=4,-. 1k.k . ., .V iisNl-o,b , ; 4 1 , tA Leeds; Gregory and Co.

DISTRESSED BRITISH EMIGRANTS FROM PRANCE. The Lords of the Admiralty have issued directions to the dockyard authorities at Portsmouth and Plymouth, to prepare vessels in those harbours for the reception of distressed British subjects compelled to leave France by the malcontents of the present revolution. In compli ance with this order, the Veteran receiving hulk (for merly a 26-gun frigate) at Portsmouth and a similar class of ship at Plymouth are being fitted for the accom modation of the expected arrivals ; and as merchant tonnage will not be at such convenient command for the shipment of the masses now awaiting passage to the hospitable shores of Great Britain, the Admiralty intend to equip and send out steamers to the coast of Franca for this benevolent and national object. It is on this service, we conjecture, that the steamers now so expe ditiously fitting out at Portsmouth are to be dispatched, and not to make any " demonstrtion" upon the shores of Ireland or elsewhere. Her Majesty's ship Resistance, 42-gun frigate, fitted for the conveyance of troops, in dock at Portsmouth, will be taken out this day, when the Illustrious, 72 guns, Captain R. A. Yates, depot ship, will be docked to have her copper broomed down. Her Majesty's ship Carysfort, 26 guns o Captain George Horace Seymour, was towed into Portsmouth harbour last night, to be dismantled and put out of commission, oontrary to public expectation and the previous orders of the Admiralty. The Champion, is gun corvette, Commander Hayes,. fitting at Portsmouth, will proceed to the roadstead of Spithead to-morrow (Sunday), whence she will sail on Tuesday or Wednesday to the Brazils, and ultimately to the South Pacific, with mails and supernumeraries for the squadrons on those stations respectively. The old ordinary guard-ship Poictiers, at Chatham, is ordered to be paid off, and be commissioned with a com plement of 270 officers and men, instead of 320 as before. The Southampton, 50 gun frigate, is ordered to be brought forward at that place for the pendant. The Growler steam-sloop at Portsmouth, recently a " free emigrait" ship on the coast of Africa, will be put out of commission this day, after which she will be re fitted as a steamer in ordinary. PROMOTION S.

An exchange of divisions ha:, been sanctioned between First-Lieutenant Richards, of the Portsmouth, and First- Lieutenant Macarty, of the Plymouth division. Second-Lieutenant Ireland and forty men of the Ar tillery companies, embarked on Thursday morning at eight o'clock, on board her Majesty's steam-frigate Bir kenhead, at Portsmouth, for special service. Second-Lieutenant DrafTen and forty men of the Ar tillery companies, embarked at Portsmouth yesterday morning, on board her Majesty's steam-frigate Gorgon, for special service. MURDER OF A CHILD HT ITS FATTIER.—A young woman, residing at Inglismaldie, had been the unfortu nate dupe of a man named Robertson, a farm servant, to whom she had borne two children. Tho mother being unable to support both of them, Robertson undertook the charge of the youngest, for whom he said he had procured a decent person as nurse, who resided at Craig end of Careston, a small hamlet close by Findowry. With this assurance the unsuspecting mother consented to part with her child, and brought it to the house of one of Robertson's sisters, where he was in waiting. He im mediately carried the infant away, under pretence of going to the nurse. A week or so afterwards the mother felt anxious to know how her child was doing, and made a journey on purpose to the person whom Robertson had named as having charge of it; but the woman neither knew Robertson nor anything of the child. The mother then requested of her seducer to know with whom the child was living, when Robertson, taking the poor woman aside, made the awful disclosure that he had murdered the infant, and buried it in a drain near Fin dowry. After Robertson's fearful disclosure of his crime, the mother and her brother hurried home to Inglismaldie, and set the police to search for the body, which they, as Robertson had described, found rolled among a quantity of straw, and stuffed in'o the mouth of a field drain. Robertson was arrested. He is a young man from twenty-six to thirty years of ego, and has rather a prepossessing appearance. —Moil' use Paper. DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM MUDFORD.—It is OUT painful duty to have to announce to our readers and the pubic the lamented death of William Mudford, Esq., which took place at his residence, in Harrington-square, Hampstead-road, on the morning of the 10th instant, at halt-past three o'clock, from water on the cheat. In early life Mr. Mudford was fortunate enough to fill the confidential post- of assistant secretary to his Royal highness the late Duke of Kent, by whom he was much valued. Ile became connected, first as reporter, and subsequently as editor, with the Courie r, which, it is not too much to say, he conducted with consu minate ability during a most trying period of our history. His talents, as a public writer at the time, attracted the notice of the Right Honourable G eor g e Canning, by . whom ho was kindly countenance d and suppot ted. During this period he was a freq uent contributor to the periodical press. For the last fifteen years he conducted the Kentish Observer and Canterbury J . annul, In addition to which, he becam e latter ly the editor of the John Bull; and it was only on the Friday preceding his death (ex actly one week) that, although borne down by ante cedent sickness and exhaustion, he was at the office until a late period of the evening, and penned an article, little dreaming that it was the last time that pen would be wielded, which had so long and so ably upheld the principlei to which he was devoted. On the following d . ay, namely, Saturday, the 11th, his youngest ch ild, an infant, was seized with convulsions and e xpired.—Kentis Observer. IMPORTANT TO P ARENT S.—By the new Registra tion Act, " the parents of every child may obtain for it the advantage of a legal registry of its birth without th payment of any fee, provided it be registered by the registrar of the * district in which the child was born within six weeks after the birth. A birth may bo regis tered at any time within six months after the birth, but after six weeks the expense of registering it will be 7s. 6d., and after si x months it cannot be registered at all." Several parties have recently suffered great in convenience in consequence of not being aware that the time for registering was limited. Mr. Brockman, M.P., had an interview yesterday with the Right lion. U. Labouchcre, at the Office of the Dowd of Trade. _„~~'.
