active fellow, entered the back yards of the houses of Nos.

LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Wronga ana their Remedies.—When the safe treatment of
disease by these purifying preparations is so simple, and
the good results so fully known, it seems almost unnecessary
to ask the ailing to give them a trial. The ointment is in-
fallible in curing skin diseases, healing ulcers, arresting
inflammation, reducing enlargements, and removing almost
all external maladies. In all affections of the j,uints, gouty,
rheumatic, and scrofulous attacks, by which the health of
many is daily drained away, Holloway's ointment and pills
will afford indescribable relief, and will gradually, if they
be used as recommended in the accompanying directions,
bring about a thorough and lasting cure. Both medica-
meats are suitable for every age, sex, and condition.
THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT EGEtA3I.-
-Upon inquiring at Charing-cross Hospital Nye
learn that Mr Esau Trigg, who it will be remembered was
conveyed to the hospital on the night of the accident, died
at half-past 1 o'clock yesterday morning. The unfortunate
man went on very favourably from the time of his admis-
sion, under the care of Mr Canton, the senior surgeon, and
Mesers Travers and Hughes, the house surgeons, until
Thursday afternoon, when he became low and dull, and a
change the worse gradually ensued. At 11 o'clock
the evening forenieg he began to sink rapidly, and although every
means that medical skill and science could adopt were re •
sorted to they had not any effect, as he died, as above stated,
at halt-past 1 o'clock, from the shock to the system and the
injuries he had received. Inf.-..-rmation was immediately
conveyed to the friends of the deceased in London, and also
by telegraph to his widow at Brighton, who at once came
London, and, on going to the hospital, was painfully over-
come at the sad loss that had befallen her. The inquest is
fixed for Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
