stances operating through the senses. Some cannot
listen to a continued murmur, or noise, without experiencing
a painful headache ; others cannot look upon a dazzling,
rapidly-passing, or revolving object, without a sensation of
giddiness ; and others cannot travel with any degree of
velocity but some head trouble or other will be the
consequence. What are these various states of the brain
but so many advances to a condition that may be
fatal ? Increase any one of them to a certain extent,
and even the strongest will become the victim of apoplexy.
And is it any wonder that this should sometimes be the
issue of railway travelling in cases of individuals peculiarly
susceptible in temperament ? Take, for instance, a man
whose head is easily made to ache by monotonous or dis-
agreeable sounds, and subject him to this annoyance on a
railroad for five or six hours in succession, with the addi-
tional troubles which of necessity await him there, such as
absence of diversion, exercise, and uniform ventilation, and
it will be no matter of astonishment if he shall suffer from a
serious, or even a fatal impression upon his brain. Take
another whose head soon becomes disturbed by the sight of
objects in rapid motion, and see, after he shall have gazed
for hours at the banks and hedges apparently flitting past his
carriage, whether he will not be the worse for the experiment.
Takes third, who is both morally and physically incapacitated
for swift travelling, and depend upon it a ride of one hundred
miles in an express train wiil make an onslaught upon his
nervous stamina. We have never seen a complete case of
apoplexy consequent upon railway travelling, but we have
met with individuals, of the peculiar temperament just men-
tioned, who have suffered so seriously from this form of loco-
motion, as to lead to some apprehension of their safety. And
we know plenty more, amongst whom, indeed, we ►may class
ourselves, who can never travel by rail without headache,
giddiness, or sickness, more or less severe, and entirely owing
to the disturbance which the mind suffers through the af-
fected senses. This disturbance is not sufficient to be alarm-
ing, but, vis fortior vitium, it requires no stretch of imagina-
tion for the belief, that in persons of greater susceptibility
and less vigour, the effects might be fatal.
The mischievous influence which railway travelling may
exert physically, is perhaps chiefly due to irregular or im-
perfect ventilation, and to a consequent impediment to the
proper performance of the respiratory function. If this be of
any continuance, congestion of the brain will of course result,
and apoplexy will be the issue of this singly, or of one of the
consequences to which congestion tends, viz., extravasation,
or effusion. And here, again, we must premise, that though
people the most hale and heattihy might probably suffer in
some measure from the irregular respiration caused by
railway travelling, yet only in people of particular states and
constitutions could it be expected to threaten fatally. These
would be chiefly such as were sufferers from organic disease
of the heart, or its vessels, giving rise to interrupted return
of blood from the head—from disease of the lungs, limiting
their extent of surface, and their efficiency for the purposes of
complete respiration—from any mechanical impediments to
the due action of the heart and lungs, such as tumours, or
fatty accumulations in the chest, empyema, hydrothorax, or
ascites—from laxity of the bloodvessels, favouring rupture of,
or transudation through, their coats—from tendency to deter-
mination of blood to the brain, &c. These affections we
know to be common enough, and we also know that those
who suffer from them are amongst the multitude who are
exposed to the vicissitudes and liabilities of railway travelling.
The irregular ventilation we have spoken of affects, though
in different ways, travellers who face the engine, as well as
those who ride with their backs to it. The former, from the
pressure of air against them, the latter. from the rush of air
from them. We all know what are the effects of facing
a very high wind. Inferior animals instinctively turn
their backs upon it, and we ourselves observe a
similar precaution by a partial inclination of the head. To
breathe in direct opposition to it is next to impossible, from
the spasmodic closure of the glottis, which almost invariably
accompanies the attempt. And it has been found, that if a
strong current of air be continuously directed in an animal's
face he becomes asphyxiated in a few minutes. This is from
spasmodic closure of the glottis, as we have said. If the
current be of less intensity, so that the respiration of the
animal shall be irregular and interrupted, but without be-
coming actually suspended, then he slowly falls asleep, and
by continuing the experiment he may be rendered apoplectic
N urse-maids are in the habit of quieting (soporising, we should
say,) cross children by blowing in their faces. Now, the
draught of air which meets you in a railway carriage, when
your face is to the engine and the window is down, will of
course vary with the velocity of transit : in many instances
the rate is such that you cannot respire, without extreme dif-
ficulty-, under the impetus of air, and in most instances the
respiratory function meets with a perceptible impediment. We
are now speaking of the effects produced upon healthy indivi-
duals; and surely, upon those who suffer from the organic
diseases we have before alluded to, these effects must be pro-
portionally severe. If a man, who, from idosyncrasy or local
ailment, may be unable to mount a flight of stairs, or climb
a hill, or face a moderate wind, without a feeling of suffoca-
cation and a throbbing head-ache, shall travel for several
hours by rail with the transit current in his face, can it be
any wonder if apoplexy be the consequence? Independently
of direct proof of the fact, we should say that analogical evi-
dence was very conclusively in its favour.
People who ride with their backs to a railway engine, of
course have the current of air from them, and this in pro-
portion to the rate of travel. Under these circumstances
respiration is far from natural, and some voluntary effort is
required to draw as much air into the lungs as shall suffice
for the proper oxygenation of the blood. After a time this
effort ceases to be made—it may be from fatigue, it may be
from diverted attention, or from diminished sensibility—
whatever may be the cause, the effect will be the same, viz.,
the imperfect decarbonisation of the blood will be followed by
sleepiness or stupor. In a healthy individual it may simply
be the former ; but in one liable to congestion of the brain, the
latter would not be an unlikely occurrence.

NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL.
(From the Devonport Independent.)
A court-martial assembled on board her Majesty's ship
Caledonia, 120, Captain Manly Hall Dixon, on Thursday, for
the trial of Lieutenant F. G. Leigh, second of the Stromboli,
steam-frigate, upon charges preferred by John Ryan, stoker
of the Stromboli.
It will be recollected this court-martial was ordered while
the Experimental Squadron lay at Cork, but through the
illness of Admiral Parker, it was postponed. The Admiralty
instructions were now issued to Rear-Admiral Sir S. Pvm, who
has assumed command of the Squadron, and that Gallant
Officer officiated as President of the Court.
The Court sat at ten o'clock, at which hour a gun was
fired, and the proceedings almost immediately commenced.•-, ,;--

1,1.54.575 t. Vcent, 120 ; Captain Sir B. Walker, H.M.S.
Queen, 110 ;Captain E. Collier, H.M.S. Rodney, 92 ; Cap-
tain N. Lockyer, C.B. H.M.S. Albion, 90 ; Captain F.
Moresby, C.B. H.M.S., Canopus, 84 ; G. Eastlake, Esq.,
Plymouth, Deputy Judge-Advocate.
The prisoner was assisted in his defence by G. Thorn, Esq.,
Paymaster and Purser, of her Majesty's ship Superb, and J
Elworthy, Esq., solicitor, Plymouth.
The charge, setting forth that John Ryan, a stoker of the
Stromboli, complained that on the 3d of September, Lieut.
Leigh applied to him a variety of opprobrious epithets, and
struck him two severe blows ; that he further ordered him to
go fourteen times over the mast-head, and to be placed on
the black list for fourteen days, having been read, the evi-
dence was proceeded with.
John Ryan sworn—l am a stoker on board her Majesty's
steamer Stromboli. On Wednesday morning, the 3d inst.,
while washing the deck of the Stromboli, at Tarbert, I was
ordered by the prisoner to move a tub, and at the same time
he called me ab— son of a b--h. I said to him, I am
not a son of a b—h ; he then told me to hold my tongue
and go and stand in the gangway ; I did so, and while there
he struck me under the ear, from the effect of which I stag-
gered. He then ordered William Hooper to throw a bucket of
water over me; the water was thrown, but I escaped it. Mr.
Leigh then called the master-at-arms and ordered him to cane
me ; he did so, and I then said I would acquaint the Captain with
it. He said, "I'll Captain you." I was then ordered to go
over the mast-head fourteen times, the prisoner saying at the
same time " D—n your eyes, I'll work the engine oil off
your b—y liver." I went over the mast-head seven times,
but was unable to go more from illness. He then ordered the
master-at-arms to put me in the engine-room hatch, and,
put me 14 days on the black list, and in the Ist watch.
By the COURT—It was to keep the Ist watch that I
was ordered. The letter which I forwarded to Com-
mander Fisher, was written by one of my watch-mates ; the
letter was written between eight and nine in the morning of
the day on which the prisoner struck me ; the letter now pro-
duced is a correct copy of that letter. I believe it was
the custom to write letters to the captain, rather than to
complain to him on deck. I can write myself but not well.
Robert Penderblan wrote the letter, but he never wrote a
letter for me before. I believe it was between six and seven
bells in the morning that I was struck. I did not see the
captain on deck between that time and the time of writing
the letter. I have not known of any other letter respecting
complaints having been written to the captain, but on other
matters letters have been writen. I have no knowledge
of Penderblim having written letters for others of the ships'
company.
William Brunsden, private of Royal Marines, sworn : On
the 3d Sept. I was on the deck of the Stromboli, and I heard
the prisoner order John Ryan to move the tub, which he did.
He ordered him to move it a second time, which he did. He
then called him a d--d son of a b—h ; Ryan said, no sir, I'm
no son of a b—h. I then saw Mr. Leigh strike him with his
fist in the neck twice, and then he ordered the boatswain's
mate to heave a bucket of water over him. The boatswain's
mate threw the water, but it did not go over the man. The
remainder of this witness's evidence was in corroboration of
the prosecutor's testimony.
By the CounT—l cannot say whether, if provocation be
given, it is right for men to reply to their officers when
abused : I have always been accustomed to do what I've been
told to do, but I cannot answer for other people. Ryan had
come out of the doctor's list a few days previously. I have
stated all that I heard pass between Ryan and the prisoner.
I saw no gesture or manner in Ryan which was calculated to
provoke Mr. Leigh. I did'nt know of any letter having been
written to Captain Fisher, until I was called on deck in the
evening by Captain Fisher.
By _the prisoner—There has not been a complaint against
me for violence to Lieut. Leigh.
William Hooper, boatswain's mate, sworn. He corrobo-
rated the testimony of the previous witnesses. He was the
man who was ordered to throw the water over Ryan, but did
not do it.
By the Court—My reason for disobeying the order given
me was, because I did not like to heave it over the man. All
I heard Ryan say was that he would report Mr. Leigh to the
captain. Ido not think Ryan moved as quick as he ought
to have done, but I did not see anything further than this
which was an aggravation on the part of Ryan. To my
knowledge no complaint was ever made by a man against an
officer on the quarter-deck.
William Taylor, master-at-arms, sworn. This witness cor-
roborated the testimony of the preceding witnesses, and, in
answer to a question from the Court, be said he had never
before been ordered by the prisoner to cane a man. Saw
nothing contemptuous in Ryan's conduct towards Mr. Leigh.
William Thompson, able seaman, also gave evidence in
corroboration.
By the prisoner—l never said to a man named Thomas,
servant of the prisoner, that he, the prisoner, was a severe
officer, and a bad fellow, and that I and others would do all
we could to get him not only out of the Stromboli, but out
of the service.
This was the case for the prosecution, and the prisoner
having solicited time to prepare his defence, an hour was
granted, and the Court ordered to be cleared.
DEFENCE.
• Upon the Court re-assembling, a short defence was read by
Mr. Thorn, in which, after an expression of regret that the
Court should have been called upon to inquire into the
charge then under investigation, an appeal was made to the
mercy as well as to the justice of the Court if after hearing
thE whole of the evidence which would be laid before them,
they should be of opinion that the errors of which he had
been guilty (if he had erred at all) were errors of judgment
rather than otherwise--errors occasioned by the contemptuous
and insolent manner of the witness Ryan, whose previous bad
conduct had no less than seven times subjected him to punish-
ment, his offences being respectively fighting, the use of bad
language, neglect of duty, quarrelling, fighting, and upon
two occasions, insolence to superior officers. The circum-
stance which gave rise to the charge, which was the subject
of the present investigation, was, as had been already proved
in evidence, the removal of a tub, by Ryan, in obedience to
his (prisoner's) order; but this was done so slowly that he
was obliged to repeat the order before it was complied with.

Attention was also directed to one or two trifling discrepan-
cies in the testimony of the several witnesses, and it was
denied that he had ever acted tyrannically, or even severely,
towards those placed under his command. He also stated,
that when he ordered Ryan to be caned, he was not aware
that he was a stoker, but judging by his youthful appearance,
believed him to be a boy; and no sooner was lie made ac-
quainted with the fact that Ryan had been recently suffering
from ill health than he remitted the punishment which he
had imposed, and which would, he believed, have been more
severe had he made a report of Ryan's conduct to his
superior officer. Allusion was also made to the unusual
course adopted by Ryan, of writing to the commanding
officer instead of making a verbal complaint, and
in reference to the alleged breach of the Admiralty
printed instructions, a hope was expressed that if it should
appear to the Court that he had not attended to those instruc-
tions, they would discriminate between wilful disobedience,
and that, which as in his case, was simply an imperfect in
terpretation.
The defence concluded with a remark upon the unavoidable
absence of an important witness upon his behalf, the long
arrest to which he had been already subjected, and his con-
viction that his case would meet full justice at the hands of
the honourable gentlemen who constituted the Court.
The prisoner then proceeded to call Thomas Maccoagh, able
seamen, who stated that he was on the deck of the Stromboli
on the morning of the 3d Sept. He heard the prisoner
charge John Ryan with negligence, and with not scrubbing
the deck to his satisfaction. Ryan said something in reply
which witness did not hear, but which provoked the prisoner,
who thereupon gave him a shove. Ryan's manner was con -
temptuous.
By the COURT—Heard the prisoner call Ryan a son of a
b— or something to that effect. He heard nothing more
though he was standing close by. Had any unusual or extra-
ordinary epithet been applied to hyan, witness must have heard
it. He considered Ryan's manner contemptuous, because he
looked haughtily at the prisoner, and appeared to be mut-
tering something.
Commander Fisher and Lieut. Hensleigh, the first and
second officers on board the Stromboli were called as evidence
to character. The former said that during the three months
be had been in command of the Stromboli, he had had no
complaint against the prisoner until the present charge was
preferred. Lieut. Hensleigh observed that he had known
the prisoner between six and seven months, and had remarked
that he was always anxious zealously to assist the ship's duty.
The COURT was then again cleared, for the space of about
half an hour, when the prisoner being brought in and the
witnesses being in attendance, the particulars of the charges
were read over, and declared to have been proved ; where-
upon the prisoner was adjudged to be severely reprimanded,
to be dismissed the Stromboli, and to be put at the bottom of
the Lieutenants in her Majesty's navy, and to remain there
for the space of two years.
This terminated the proceedings of the court-martial.

whereas, by taking the matter into their own hands, the ex-
pense might be very trifling indeed. He should recommend
i he overseers to consult the officers of the parishes of St.
George's-in-the-East and Marylebone, and those of the
liberty of the Rolls, on the matter; and he felt perfectly sa-
tisfied they would best serve the interests of the parish by
adopting the course he had recommended.
The overseers requested a few days to consider the matter,
and consult with the parish board.
Mr. Humphreys said he had no wish to press the partiee,
but hoped, at the same time, that no more than necessary
delay should take place
It was ultimately arranged that the matter should stand
over until Monday next, when the parties will again attend.

port? Is it not because the travellers and goods pass-
ing from England to Belgium are stopped by our cus-
toms' line? Remove that barrier, throw the communi-
cation open, and certainly the port of Dunkirk will have
nothing to fear from the Anglo-Belgian speculation.
The line of transit will choose the port ready-made to
that which is to be yet formed. That is the true means
of preventing the competition with which we are
menaced; every other expedient would be unworthy of
us. It is by progress that progress must bo coped

PARISIAN ROBBERY AND
CUSSING

HO,

A. gang of endormeurs (hocussers) to the number of sixteen,
were tried last wee before the Court.
rootmes committeot by them. With the ex-
ception of two, who were somewhat older, all the prisoners
were only from nineteen to twenty-five years of age. There
were three women amongst them. All the men were de-
scribed as belonging to regular trades. One or two were
masters, one (named Mayas) being a master tailor, another
(named Mulot) a grocer and wine-merchant, &c. The name
of endormeurs, or hocussers, had been given to the gang be-
cause it was a generally received opinion that several indivi-
duals had been decoyed by them into public-houses, and there
drugged with some narcotic preparation, and, being thus sent
to sleep, had been stripped of their watches, and of all that
they had about them. The indictment, however, specified
only one case of this kind, and it took place in the house of
Mulot, the wine-merchant. It appeared that about nine
o'clock in the evening, in May, 1843, Lanckpaep, Mayas, and
Lepeule, (three of the prisoners) met in the street of the Fau-
bourg du Temple a youth named Ledoux, a lad belonging to
a timber-yard, and they decoyed him to Mulot's, with the in-
tention of rifling him. There they made him drink two wine-
glasses full, into which Mulot put out something of a nature
to send him into a deep sleep. They, however, changed their
minds as to one part of their scheme, and determined to take
him to his home, and there commit the robbery. On their
way to his lodgings Mayas proposed (according to the decla-
ration of Lanckpaep) to murder Ledoux (who was all the
time fast asleep), but that proposal was rejected. Finally,
and whilst he was still asleep, they took from him his boots,
trowsers, and other articles of dress, together with some gold
buttons. The other robberies of which 'the prisoners were
accused were very numerous, and, like the crime just men-
tioned, had taken place two or three years back. They were
chiefly committed in lodgings, when the thieves knew that
the tenants were out, and they effected their entrance by &lie
keys, or else by breaking open the door of the apartment.
They prowled about in parties of two or three together, and
being respectably dressed, went up and down stairs of the
houses without suspicion. Sometimes they wore blouses,
under which they could easily conceal the property stolen.
One of the robberies, however, was of a different kind, and
deserves to be described fur its audicity. Lanckpaep, and
another of the prisoners, named Danzelle, being tempted by
the sight of a casket, containing 401. in gold, which they saw
in a jeweller and moneychanger's window, drew lots as to
which of the two should break the superb pane of glass under
which the casket lay. Then waiting for the passing of a
cab, Danzelle, favoured by its noise, smashed the pane with
a stone into a thousand pieces, and Larickpaep at the same
instant snatched up the casket. They both ran off, and suc-
ceeded in escaping. The produce of all these robberries seems
to have been disposed of in a variety of ways, part being
pledged at pawnbrokers, part being sold to one of the female
prisoners, who kept a disreputable lodging-house, and well
knew the property to be stolen, or to dealers in clothes, &c.
Lanckpaep, who seems to have been present at every one of
the robberies, and one or two others, split against their ac-
complices, and gave important evidence. They were all (after
a trial which lasted three days) found guilty, and severally
sentenced to the galleys, for periods varying from twenty to
six years, except the women, who were sentenced to minor
punishments. One of the men was furthermore to be exposed
in the pillory. Another of the convicts (Lepeule) was not
sentenced, bat it was for the very good reason that he had
been already condemned to the galleys for life—a punish
meat that he is now undergoing.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—The past week has been
meet disastrous to the hops—the high winds and cold weather
hare swept away from 30,000/. to 50,000/. of the duty. Poles
have been prostrated, and hops scattered all over the gardens.
Many of those remaining on the bine have likewise been
greatly depreciated in quality. Picking has been carried on
generally, and all accounts concur in the hops being not only
bad in quality, but very light. General reports state that
great havoc has been made among the hops—that they are
rapidly going off, and the duty is as rapidly falling.—Kentish
Observer.

A TOBACCO TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.—A. Tobacco
Temperance Society has, it is announced by the Spanish journals,
been formed at Soria, the object of which Is to pat an end to
smoking. Persons of all classes, who prove that they have
been constant smokers up to the time of their applications to
become members, are admitted, and receive a ticket, on
which is written, " Thou shalt smoke no more ;" and every
infraction of this injunction is subject to a penalty of
13 maravedis (about 15 centimes). To insure the object
of the society, each member is bound to accuse another, if he break
the rule. Every meeting commences with a mutual inspection of
hands, pockets, and clothes, and an olfactory test of the breath, to
be practised by each member upon his neighbour. The produce of the
fines is to be laid out in subscriptions fir journals ; but as there are
yet only fourteen members, and the taste of the Spaniards for cigars
and cigarets is so dely rooted, it can never be expected that this
number will be great increased.—Galignani.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] —GENERAL JOSE GONZALYES
CURED or A BAD LEG BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT-
MENT.—The General some time ago received a gun-shot
wound in the leg, which, from neglect and fatigue, assumed an
alarming appearance, there being a sudden outburst of several
ulcers, and, for a time, mortification was seriously apprehended ;
in this alarming state the amputation of the limb was deemed
as absolutely necessary. The General, however, unwilling to
sacrifice his leg, dismissed his doctors, and set about using
nothing else but Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and with
these celebrated remedies he perfectly cured himself in five
weeks, and was able to leave London last week for the Con-
tinent. To be had of every medicine vendor, and at the
