TIIE LUNCS.—On examination the lungs will be
found full of innumerable little holes, like a. sponge•
These holes are the cells into which th• air esseers who
we breathe. So great is their number that they have
been calculated to amount to 174,000,000, forming alto'
gether a surface thirty times greater than *hat of the
human body. Every one of these cells is provided with
a net-work of blood-vessels, by means of Ivhieh
blootl is brought into immediate contact with the air
over every portion of their surface. When this great
amount is taken into consideration, we shall feel at onc4
how necessary it is to supply pure air to the lounge with
every breath we draw.— Health of Towns Gazette.

LEASING of the NORTH BRITISH
RAILWAY.
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE NORTM BRITISH
RAILWAY.

GINTLIIMIN,
• 'Ur. Hudson offered 8 per Cent. for this line as a minimum divi-
dend, with the option of amalgamating with the York and Newcastle
at par. This offer was refused by your Directors as inadequate.
Here, then, we have the opinion of such a judge as Mr. Hudson
that this line is worth 8 per Cent., or rather 9, as the York and New-
castle are paying that rate of dividend, and we have the opinion of
the Directors that it is worth more.
W have further, in corroboration of both estimates, the fact of
this line having in the second year of its existence, paid a dividend
of 5 per Cent., besides laying by a considerable sum as a deprecia-
tion tund, and this when the communication with England is inter-
Mated at Berwick, and again at Newcastle, by the non-completion of
the bridges, a result from which, in the space of a year or two, a di-
♦idend fully equalling Mr. Hudson's expectations may rationally be
• anticipated, if the history of the progressive development of traffic on
this line is at all analogous to that on other lines.
Now, in these circumstances, we have the shares quoted in the
Market at 41. discount, when the York and Newcastle, with which
an amalgamation at par was actually offered, is at al. premium, ex.
the dividend, only recently paid When, if we were to estimate the
North British as a stock guaranteed 8 per Cent., which it might have
had, the discrepancy is still more extraordinary, when compared
with lines in that position.
Upon the whole there must be some very egregious misconception
' . OT mistake relative to this stock. Either Mr. Hudson and the North
British Directors must have been quite mistaken in their calcula•
tinns, cautiously and elaborately as they were gone into, and sup-
Ported, as they apparently are, by the nascent success of the under-
taking, or else the public must have altogether overlooked the merits
Of the line.
- In these circumstances, could lot the North British Proprietors
renew the negotiation with Mr. Hudson, and even offer him the line
for a guarantee of 7 per Cent. There can be little doubt he would
Accept of such an offer. being 1, or rather 2 per Celt. under his own
estimate ; and although it might be sacrificing the ultimate value of
the shares, still as such a guarantee would command 41. premium.
the shareholders might prefer the present advantage thus secured to
• theta. to the probability of a gleater profit at a future period.

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 he became
possessed of them was, that on the night of the 31st of
January he hoard some noise down stairs, and, upon
going to ascertain what it was, ho 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 bring 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 him again."
The reading of these verses was received by the
auditory with much laughing, and some clapping of
hands.
Mr. Justice lia.uLE said that the Bible was a book
that contained some excellent rules for our conduct in

who kicked him off me, al, 1 gas
him, but was sufficient to kill him." Maloney also told
a fellow lodger, that if no man gave the boatman a blow
but what he 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 ?" 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 bow
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 M'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, men came up. Some
words ensued, and Cavannah struck one of the men. I
advised him to go away, and he did. One ef the party
struck Grady, and another Reardon, whose bat fell 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
for a police...-614tearnce, but I refused, and went
va,2*__who at the o.et
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 we
got to Cavannah's lodgings I gave 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 ho me alone." Maloney exclaimed, " Thanks
be to God, I am innocent, and told the whole truth to
Mr. WKnight, 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
part of the Crown, bat the prisoners called none in their
defence.
His LOI73SITIP having minutely summed up the volu-
minous 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 for 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. Keating, conducted
the prosecution of the prisoner, who was undefended.
It appeared that Mr. Horton, a jeweller, held 501. in
trust for John ]godson, 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 separa.teor sumsand
oft
October, 1844,. on account owhen
f her
brother pri to the month
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 in a savings'
bank; a few weeks after she paid Mr. Horton another
visit, telling him her brother was dead at her house, but
he 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 191.11 October,
1844, John Hodson, locksmith, George-street, Walsall,
in the presence of Ann Mason." She took the copy
he
of
the certificate to Mr. Horton, received from him t
remaining 501., 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 TALYOURD, 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 b y 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; but 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 fielony, and it is a very
serious offence. Let her go down., I must consider the
case before passing sentence.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 16.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
BURGLARY AND MURDER.—George Calvert, 28,
Thomas Hodgson, 28, and James Mellor, 22. were charged
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 milesw from Bradford; he
lived by himself in a small cottage,which was 150 yards
ng of the Ith of
from the next neighbour. On the iht
December he was avvokl by a noise at the door,B 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—be struck at one of them
with the knife, and then ran out ithrough the window
into the garden, and thence into a field, where several
struggles took place; but at last the men so beat him
with heavy bludgeons, and other weapons, that he was
completely exhausted and overpowered; they then car-
ried him back into his cottage, and laid him down whilst
they robbed the house. After they had gone, the de-
ceased got up, and suprtin imself by a wall which
weal along the road, succeeded in reaching the next
neighbour. He was excessively ill for some time after-
wards from the injuries he had received, and he was
attended by a medical man, under whose care he gra-
dually improved until the 18th of January, when he be-
came much worse. He lingered until the 2d of February,
~n which day he died from water on the brain, occa-
sioned by the violent blows and contusions he had re-
„ived :,a his head. The deceased went before the
magistrates at Bradford on the 27th of December, and
deposed to the facto of the outrago nearly as above.
The three prieeners havog been apprehended, were

life, and, according to the way in which they were fol-
lowed, depended our own comfort here and happiness
h-rettfter, at least that was the generally received opinion.

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.
MANSION-HOUSE.
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 Vic., 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 60/. more than his men had en-
gaged to work the vessel for in the voyage from London
to Calcutta and back.
The defendant pleaded guilty. He 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 ho had no money whatever.
the
The father of the defendant appealed etrongly to
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 Loan MAYOR—I cannot possibly overlook this
case ; but in consideration of kis 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 received and the wages the captain has been
obliged to pay the
MAseamßY LEBO Nan who worked his vessel home.
E,
After the disposal of numerous cases of minor impor-
tance, a man named William Rigden, 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, wko
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; he had under his arm something
which was covered over loosely with a handkerchief. He
went round a pond to the edge, where he remained for
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 ke 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: Ile said to me, " I have just
now seen four snipes" (pointing to the direction ho 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—When 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 an hour and a half from the period of my meeting
him in the square, he was taken into custody by the offi-
cer upon my pointing him out us he was leaving Eaton-
place. I spoke to him about the snipes to which he had
directed my attention when in the field, at which he
laughed, and said I was altogether mistaken.
Raymond, 89 D, said that the prisoner when being '
told that he was charged with being concern!d in the
murder of the child, alleged that he knew nothing about
it. Witness added, that from inquiries made by hix.n,
he had ascertained that on the 24th (the day oft e dis-
covery of the murder) he (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 some person or persons unknown."
Prisoner—I 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.
Mr. LONG remanded the prisoner till next Thursday,
at the same time addressing Inspector Wiggins, in whose
district (the D division) the body was found, as to the
necessity of using every exertion with the view of bring-
ing forward other important evidence.
