FORGERY OF SCRIP CERTIFICATES OF THE LON-
DON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY SHARES.—Much
sensation has been excited in the share market, by the
discovery that a large number of scrip certificates of
shares in the additional capital of the South-Western
Railway Company, created in November last, have been
brought into the market, and disposed of, and since
ascertained to be forgeries. The directors have apprised -
the public of the fact by advertisement, and earnestly
requested any parties interested in the matter to com-
municate to them immediately. They have had several
meetings meetings on the subject, and have placedtheffa

SINKING OF A CANAL BOAT
WITH
—On Easter AND SIXTY PASSENGERS ON
Tues-
day a large
name the Euphrates (an old
Darlston hired a boat, ne
party from the neighbourhood of Tipton and
market canal pet
to convey them for a holiday to
Birmingham. aTclkie)Packet started, filled with men,
women, and children, to the number of one hundred and
sixty, increasing in numbers as the boat went along, to
such an extent that many persons had to sit upon the
top, where also was a band of musicians. On reaching
Rolfe's Bridge, Smithwick, those on the top commenced
amusing themselves with rocking the boat, when sud-
denly she gave an unlucky heel, and in an instant
the musicians, together with the other outside pas-
sengers, were precipitated into the canal ; the water
entering the boat at the same moment, she
filled and sank. The scene which ensued beggars
description, the shrieks of the women and children
being heard at a great distance. Fortunately, at the
spot where the accident happened the water was not
more than between five and six feet deep, and although
the situation of the passengers was dangerous in the ex-
treme, their escape from drowning was very extraor-
dinary. There were at least seventy passengers in the
cabin, some of the windows of which were open, and
the water had reached nearly five feet above the cabin
flooring. Those who had children were holding them
above their heads. screaming franticly fur help. With
considerable difficulty the whole of them were got out
alive and landed in safety on the canal banks. By the
kindness of the manager of a neighbouring glasswork,
the women and children were admitted into the works,
where they dried their clothes. Had the boat capsized
instead of sinking down, there is no doubt but that the
loss of life would have been most frightful. —Sundae/
