MORE FoRGERIBS.—EAST INDIAN RAILWAY.—
For some time past it has been a matter of considerable sue.
prise among those best informed upon such subjects, that the
stock of a company in such close connexion with the Go-
vernment should have continued depressed to an extent
which, after making every allowance for the fall in all de-
scriptions of securities, and the state of the money market,
could not be accounted for. The mystery has at length been
discovered, an extensive system of forgery having been de-
tected, which his produced the effect upon the market in
consequence of the quantity of scrip thrown upon it. The
imitation of the companv's scrip is said to be very carefully
executed, and:the forgeries appear to have been brought to
light by accident. The extent to which they have been
carried is at present unknown, and cannot be accurately
ascertained uhtil all the scrip shall have been brought in for
registration.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A CURE OF A BAD LEG BY
HOLLOWAY'S TILLS AND OINTHENT.—Extract of a letter, dated
Northampton, April 2, 1347. "To Professor Holloway,—Sir,—The
following cure I feel bound to acquaint you with, that others may
have an opportunity of making a trial of your Pills and Oin ment in
analogous cases. Catherine Owen, residing in Bridge-street, in this
town, s ,ffered from a bad leg that was covered with sores, dis-
charging immense quantities of humour. Th 4 agony occasioned
was so great as to prevent her getting a moment's repose, yet your
Pills and Ointment cured her though she had been under several
eminent ,urgeons. (Signed) S. Humphrey, chemist, Northamp-
ton."—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.
ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.
—On Tuesday evening last a railway labourer obtained a
second class ticket at the Salisbury terminus for Romsey,
and took his seat in the five o'clock up train. Whilst it was
proceeding at full speed he suddenly jumped out of the car-
riage. arid was, when taken up, insensible. He was con-
veyed to the SaUabur. Infirmary, and lies in a hopeless state.
It is su!)pos,d thats ;•. • .-.l)er at the time, the
motion had lulled him to 6h:el), and being by some means
suddenly awakened, had committed the rash act unaware of
. what he was doing.
