HEALTH of the WORKING CLASSES. (From the Popular Record of Modern Science.) PREVENTIVE TREATMENT OF THE DISEASES OCCASIONED BY THE USE OF LEAD. There are more than forty trades which are injuri ous to the health of those who work at them, all hav ing poisonous effects, which arc not unfrequently fatal to life. The worst of all, are those in which a che mical preparation of lead forms the basis of the manu facture, such as litharge, white lead, minium, &c., &c. Melting and flatting houses, shot manufactories, type foundries, the application of the various pre parations in potteries and glass houses, of the salts of lead in painting and building, the pulverization of colours, the dyeing horse hair stuffs black, polishing, &c., &c., all employ a consi derable number of workmen, wh o are exposed to the action of large quantities of volatilised poisonous matter, in the form of vapour, dust, or soluti o n. The absorbing surface of the body comes in contact with these pernicious substances, which are taken up with increased rapidity as the frame be comes excited by labour. hus most of the unhappy artizans whom necessity forces into these pestilential workshops, come to the hospitals after a few months or even weeks, with every symptom of the worst cases of poison. They are generally attacked by violent cholic, which, if it be not fatal, is followed by extreme debility, and often incurable paralysis. The less frequent symptoms are epileptic, which, if not immediately fatal, are succeeded by paralyses, mental alienation, cachexy, and weakness, all beyond the reach of medicine. It is an obvious duty, both of superintendents and medical men, to use every effort towards the cure and prevention of these maladies, and it will be useful to make known to the public the preventive treatment which has been employed and approved of by Doctors Gendrin, Brisset, and Meunier, physicians to the hospital.; in Paris; Priesso, and Solari, of the hospital at Genoa; Bertini, physician to the great hospital of the equestrian order of St. Maurice, and St. Lazarus, at Turin ; P. F. Curie, head physician to the Homoeo pathic hospital in London, Henry 13,nnet, sub-editor of the Lancet, E. Chepmell, &c. &c. This treatment is extremely simple, and only re quires the workmen to submit to the following pre cautions :—They are to take two baths of soap and water every week, occasionally adding a little sulphur, and are caretully to wash the uncovered parts of the body with soap and water at every in terval between their working hours. They are to drink one or two glasses of lemonade, made with sulphuric acid, every day, according to the greater or lesser quantity of dust or poisonous vapour with which the surrounding atmospheres may be charged. At the same time they should be more careful than the followers of any other trade, to abstain from the use of spirituous liquors. The efficacy of this preventive treatment is easily explained by the fact, that the mineral poison ab sorbed is thus converted into a soluble, and therefqre innoxious salt (sulphate of lead), and the saturnine particles depsited on the surface cf the body are taken away. The sulphuric lemonade and common soap may be had for a few pence each week, and in the large, and consequently most unwholesome esta blishments, the condensed water from the steam engines, now thrown away, may be advantageously employed for the baths. The proprietors would find an immense advantage in providing accommodations and ingredients for these purposes ; as by these means they would be able to retain experienced workmen, instead of suffering the annoyance of a constant suc cession of inexperienced hands. ACCIDENT RELIEF SOClETY.—Yesterday afternoon, a sermon on behalf of this charitable institution was preached at the church of St. Mary Somerset, in Upper Thames-street, by the Rev. Henry Cole, M.A. After a very eloquent appeal by the reverend gentleman, a very satisfactory amount was collected. It would seem that the funds of the institution have been very severely pressed upon during the past winter. VOL. 111. OF M.

On Thursday last the Master of the Rolls gave judgment in the case of the Attorney-General v. the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London, overruling the demurrer pleaded by the defendants, and sustaining the information filed on her Majesty's behalf. The effect of this judgment is, that the defendants must answer the information, and set forth the title under which they claim to be owners of the bed and shores of the river Thames. We some time since took occassion to direct the at tention of our readers to the institution of these pro dings,o the importantaynow , therefore,public interests te con congratulate icieletheirand t result. We may them upon the accomplishment of this the first practical step on the part of the advisers of the Crown to vied.- cate its rights, and ultimately to ensure for the inhabi tants of this vast city such a system of management, both as regards the navigation of the Thames and the appropriation of its shores, as the requirements of its trade and the rational enjoyments of its increasing popu lation have long called for.—Observer.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS. The high winds and excessive cold which prevailed ten days ago have been succeeded by genial breezes from the west and south-west, and refreshing showers of rain. The earth is again putting on her mantle of green, and bears token that summer is ap proaching. The sowing of oats is completed, barley nearly so, and some progress made in the planting of potatoes. The weather is favourable for the spring operations of the hus bandman ; and the lateness of the season rendering every minute precious, agricultural operations are pushed forward with the utmost vigour. An unusual breadth of land is this season being prepared for potatoes ; and, from the care taken in preserving the seed, it is hoped that the dis ease which has been so injurious to this valuable root, will not re-appear, or, if so, that thegreaiubutatroteh Witness. ntionwldch, for so me time has been bestowed on the subject will be tha means of discovering a remedy......ed ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Aright, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION at ONE CHARGE.

The Committee of Direction beg to announce, that having instructed their Engineer to estimate for the working stock, as well as for the cost of way of their projected extensions to Sleaford and Grantham, they find that the requisite capital will amount to 375,0001., and that they will thus have 5,0 00 Shares to dis p ose of, after giving all the Scripholders one new or extension Share for every two have original Shares, as at first intimated. O f these 5,000 Shares they also resolved to allot a number, not exceeding 2,000, among the Land owners and other influential parties locally interested in the exten sions ; and to sell the remainder at their discretion for the benefit of the Company. Scripholders who are desirous to obtain the new Shares to which they are entitled, are requested to leave their name and of Ma address nextwith their Scrip Certificates, on any day previous to the 3d y , at the Committee Rooms, No. 31, Parliament-street, Westminster, with the Secretary, who will give a receipt for the same ; and on the following day the Scrip Certificates will be returned with a letter of allotment for the new Shares. All parties who do mot apply, as above, for new Shares, will for feit their right to them ; and all Shares thus forfeited will be sold under the direction of the Committee, for the benefit of the Company. Landholders and others locally interested in the extensions, who wish to hold Shares, are requested to send their applications to Mau rice P. Moore, Esq., Sleaford, for the consideration of the Local Committee, and no application will be received after Wednesday, the 30th April current.

This undertaking connecting itself at Chesterfield 'with the ex isting and projected Midland Railways, and passing through Mans field, Southwell, Newark-on-Trent, and thence to Slealord and Bos ton, will form a continuous and direct communication between the agricultural and producing districts of Nottinghamshire and the South-Eastern parts of the kingdom, as far as the sea coast on the one hand, and the large consuming towns and districts of West Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, and the Port of Liverpool on the other. A careful examination of the country through which this Line will pass, by Engineers of acknowledged eminence, enables the pro moters to state, that it may be constructed with facility, and that its character is such as to justify a confidence that it must prove highly remunerative to the Proprietary, taking into consideration the great amount of traffic which must necessarily pass along it, whether as regards passengers, merchandise, and agricultural produce, or mi nerals, inasmuch as the district is not provided with any means of transit beyond the ordinary turnpike roads. This Line, intended to communicate with the existing Mansfield and Pinxton Railway at Mansfield, will form the, nearest and most di rect route that can be ma de, between the agricultural districts to the east and south-east of Newark, and the great central coal-fields of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, and thus enable the inhabitants of those ex t ens ive districts to supply themselves with coals of every quality at considerably less than two-thirds of the present price. The whole country, north, south, and east, will, by this Railway, and the others with which it will communicate, be brought within gasy reach of the well-known quarries of building stone with which the district of Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse abounds; as well as with the lime produced in that neighbourhood , so ce lebrated for building and other purposes. A deposit of 1/. 10s. per Share must be paid on the allotment of Shares, and the liability of Subscribers will be limi• ed by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective Shares. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the future rate ocallsf 41., per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all fl'om the date of each payment till the opening of the whole line, or until a dividend be declared. The Shares, and all payments made thereon, will be forfeited, without notice, should the holders thereof not sign the Subseriber's Agreement, to do so. an d Parliamentary Contract, as soon as required R e f ere nces will be required from all applicants for Shares who are not known to some Members of the Committee, or the Solicitors.

Rocke, Eytons, and Co., Shrewsbnry Messrs. Taylors and Lloyds, Birmingham This project, whether viewed as a means of private investment, or as a great public undertaking , pres ents advantages seldom equalled. Forming a junction at Stourport with the London, Worcester, an th d South Staffordshire Railway, the propos ed Railway will pass up e valley of the Severn, and through, or in the immediate neighbour hood of, Bewdley, Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock, Madeley, Iron-bridge, Coal Brook Dale, to Shrewsbury, and thence near Market Drayton, Audlem, and Nantwich, to Crewe, where it will terminate by a junction with the Manchester and Birmingham, and Grand Junction Railways. Besides giving the above exceedingly populous and thriving places the benefit of a direct communication with each other, and railway accommodation to a district now entirely destitute of it, the proposeti railway will als , ) establish the shortest route from the North of England, Manchester, Liverpool, Ireland, Holyhead, Cheltenham, No Wales, and Chester (through Shrewsbury), to Worcester, Gloucester, South Wales, Bristol, Bath, Exeter, Falmouth, and the south-western counties, and moreover will form the high-road into the centre of Wales from the northern and midland counties. Thus, the manufactures and minerals of the'exteusive and rapidly increasing iron works, and collieries of Shropshire, and the salt works of Cheshire, as well as the immense agricultural produce from those counties, the Valley of the Severn, Herefordshire, and the centre of Wales, will reach the markets and ports of Lancashire, Worcester shire, Gloucestershire, Devonshire, and Cornwall, by a rapid and cheap transit. It is considered that the present traffic between the y various etu town rn s on the line of the proposed railway will secure a pofitable r upon the capital ; but when the increase which will arise front the completion of the railway, and the through-traffic consequent thereon are taken into account, there can be no doubt that the undertaking will prove one of the most desirable investments in the kingdom. Valley As the line from Stourport to Shrewsbury will traverse the Val of the Severn, the works in that district must of necessity be light and easy ; the country also between Shrewsbury and Crewe is well adapted for the cons , ruction of a railway.

Many hints might be gathered, we humbly presume, From the recent display at the Queen's Drawing-room : The splendid equipments—the gorgeous attire Presented a scene which we all might admire. No doubt there were many appear'd at the Court Whose elegant dresses of MOSES were bought ; And much greater credit would here have been done, If all had been dress'd by E. MOSES and SON. Had such been the case (as it ought to have been) The Queen would have gazed with delight on the Scene; And to show her respect for the credit thus done, She, perhaps, might have sent to E. MOSES and SON, And invited them both to the next Drawing-room, As a kind of reward for their matchless costume. This honour, however, we do not require— But while we are fam'd for such matchless attire — We merely request, as we often have done, That the public would purchase of MOSES and SON, Can you anywhere purchase such articles? No 1 If we thought that you could, we would gladly say " Go." But since such attire can be rivall'd by none-- We gladly exclaim—" Come to MOSES and SON."

PAar..teuntswiT AGENTS—Messrs. G. and T. W. Webster, 26, Great George-street, Westminster. The object of the proposed line (for which application will be made to Parliament in the ensuing session) is to supply an important link in a communication connecting the town of Great Yarmouth and the Eastern Coast of the kingdom with the Western, Midland, and Northern districts, accommodating in its progress the city of Nor wich, the-WWII of. Kin& Lynn, Sutton Bridge, and the towns of Long Sutton, Holbeaoh, Spalding, Boston, Spilsby, by Louth, and Grimsby. Commencing at the proposed terminus of the Lynn, Dereham, and Norwich Railway at Lynn, the line will proceed by Sutton Bridge and the towns of Long Sutton and nolbeach to Boston, there con necting itself with the Boston Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, which that Company have, In pnrsuance of a pledge given to the Board of Trade, agreed to carry into effect thence it will pro ceed through Boston, Spilsby, and Louth to Grimsby. The Board of Trade having reported in favour of the Newark and. Sheffield line, that Company have announced their intention to ex tend their project from Newark to a junction at Sleaford with the Cambridge and Lincoln line. It is also intended to extend the proposed line of railway from Rol beach to Spalding, there to form a junction with the Spalding and Stamford Branch of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, which that Company have also pledged themselves to the Board of Trade to carry into effect. It cannot fail to be observed that the projected lines will together form the most direct, complete, and continuous communication between the eastern, western, midland, and northern districts of the kingdom, will bring the important markets of Norwich and Man chester nearer to each other by fifty miles than by any other line of railway ; and besides giving communication to the ports of Grimsby, Boston, King's Lynn, Spalding, and Sutton Bridge, with the interior of the country, and with each other, will afford the greatest amount of local accommodation to the intermediate districts; in addition to which, these towns and districts will be placed on a through line to the metropolis, by their connexion with the Lynn and Ely and the Northern and Eastern Railway!. , From a survey recently made by Mr. Fulton of that portion of the line from Lynn to Boston, it appears there is uo tunnelling, cutting, or embanking, of any importance necessary, and that the line will be practically a dead level. Under these circumstances, and from the investigation that has been made of the other portion of the line, it is confidently estimated that the proposed capital will be amply sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every con sequent expense, and the income derivable from the great traffic which must necessarily arise, not only from the transit of passengers, but from the transport of fish, as well as of corn, cattle, and ether pro dace of the great agricultural district through which the lines pass to the principal food-consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will afford an ample return for the proposed outlay of capital. It is proposed to apply for the usual power to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital from the date of each payment until the completion of the railw'ty. A large proportion of the capital being already secured, it has been determined to limit the period for receiving applications for the remaining Shares to the 21st instant, until which date applications will be received by the Solicitors and Parliamentary Agents, or by the undermentioned Brokers :—Messrs.

BELFAST PROTESTANT PETITION IN FAVOUR OF TIIE MAyrtoarir GrtAyr. Yesterday (Wednesday) after noon this petition, a copy of which we published, was placed in the Commercial News-room, and received, in the course of the evening, about one hundred and fifty , signatures, including the names of four or five magistrates, several bankers, and a number of the other leading inhabitants of the town. The number of signatures, from such a class of people, is greater than we recollect being attached, in the same place, and in so short a time, to any petition ; and, what is very gratifying, they are those of Whigs, Tories, and Radicals, and of all shades of Protes tantism. The good feeling and proper spirit displayed, in this instance, are honourable to the town.—Northern Whig. Two labourers were, at the recent Essex Quarter Sessions, sentenced to a year's imprisonment for placing the root of a tree on the Easters Counties Railway, for the purpose of throw. ing of a train.

Sir,—For the last three or four years I hays been labouring under a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of hearing. Aftor trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend, to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, after t a king which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf sines. I should mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in April last, and have continued taking it since.--I am, Sir, your obe dient servant, W. H. ADAMS. To Mr. W. Gemstone. Any quantity of Eye Snuff sea be forwarded through the General Post, by sendinS money orders. A 2e. 4d. milder, with directions, will coo t 0 ., p ci po on 41 like proportion, Hereford and Brecon : The National Provincial Bank of England. This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected lines of railway, bring into immediate communication with Birming ham, and the whole midland and Northern Districts of England, the great mineral fields of Monmouthshire, as well as those adjoining Car diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same time it will furnish to the lin porMnt agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and M onmouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales. The object of. this company will be very materially aided, first, by the existing line from Cardiff to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the lines intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company. The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (in that direction) it will terminate. From Abergavenny a branch will extend eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon. From Brecon an extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the Taaff Yale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, in addition to a free intercourse with more distant localities, a complete chain of railway communication amongst the important towns and districts just enumerated, and which are now wholly unprovided in that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that can be adopted from Monmouth to Carmarthen, and the South of Ireland. In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the Directors propose to place themselves in immediate communication with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the minor branches, which will be necessary to complete the comprehen sive scheme of communication intended ; and to this object regard has been had in fixing the capital of the Company. The investigations which have been made en the subject of the traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently ealcuiated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that it will prove a most profitable investment of capital. In conclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in the districts in question has already engaged the serious attention of the tribunal appointed by the Legislature for the initiatory examina tion of railway projects ; and the Board of Trade has, in its report on the Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the present undertaking will form a material link in the following man fl er :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershire. South Wales, and the important districts lying to the west of the present lines of railway will evidently, at no distant period, require not only a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com munication with London. but also a narrow guago railway, to place them in direct and unbroken communication, through Birmingham, with the manufacturing districts and the great railway system of the rest of the kingdom." The engineering capabilities of the course of the line and exten sions have been ascertained to be excellent, and the capital proposed will be ample for the construction of the 125 miles of railway intended to be formed.
