MORE FORGERIES.—EAST INDIAN RAILWAY.—
For some time past it has been a matter of considerable sur-
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 has produced the effect upon the market in
consequence of the quantity of scrip thrown upon it. The
imitation of the company'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 until all the scrip shall have been brought in for
registration.
SEEING IS BELIEVING.—Do you see that gent,
what a fright he looks ? He has got a thirty-shilling wig on,
you might swear to it a mile off. If you want a real head of
hair, go to Ross's, who have just fitted up a splendid glass
case to exhibit their Perukes, containing thirty different
styles of wearing the hair, thus enabling every one to choose
what is most becoming or most fashionable at once. Like-
wise their ladies show room, containing an immense assort-
ment of beautiful head-dresses, fronts, plaits, &c., unequalled
either in Paris or London. Address Ross and Sons, 119 and
120, Bishopsgate-street.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A CURE OF A BAD LEG BY
ilotioNVAT'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.-- Extract of a letter, dated
Northampton, April 2, 1847. "To Professor liolloway,—Sir,—The

have an opportunity of making a trial of your Pills and Oin meat in
analogous cases. Catherine Oeen, residing in Bridge-street, in this
town, siSered from a bad leg that was covered wlth 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 tinder several
eminent surgeons. (Signed) S. Humphrey, chemist, Northamp.

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, and was, when taken up, insensible. lie was con-
veyed to the Salisbury Infirmary, and lies in a hopeless state.
It is supposed that, not being quite sober at the time, the
motion had lulled him to sleep, and being by some means
suddenly awakened, had committed the rash act unaware of
what he was doing.
