[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Speedy and Effectual Cure
of a severely bruised Ankle, by Hullo way's Ointment.—
Extract of a letter from Mr. H. Watkinson, of the Spald-
ing Free Press, dated February 19, 1848:—" To Pro-
fessor Holloway. Sir,—A youth in our employ knocked
his ankle so severely, that the most dangerous symptoms
were brought on, thereby rendering him totally unable
to walk or attend to his duties; many preparations wore
applied, but all to no effect; at last he had recourse to
your invaluable Ointment, when, by the use of a single
pot his ankle was perfectly cured, and the boy became
as active in walking and working as he was before the
disaster." Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hol•
loway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND COUN-
TIES RaiLwAY.—On Thursday afternoon last, a little
boy most providentit,lty escaped from a dreadful death
on this line of railway, under the following circum-
stances:—lt appears that the father of the child, Mr. W.
Haigh, 13, St. Martin's-le-Grand, with its mother and
servant, was travelling from town by the third-class
train, which reached the station at Rugby, at about ten
minutes before two o'clock. Soon after its departure.
and when between Willeybridgo and Ullesthorpe station
on the Midland lines, the boy fell out of the carriage as
it was proceeding, either from the opening of the door or
by playing and overbalancing himself through the win-
dow. An alarm was instantly made by the affrighted
parents and passengers, and the notice of the guard
having been attracted, he went along the tops of the
carriages, and having ascertained the cause, the train
was speedily stopped. A signal was also made to the
down mail, which was following, but at once stopped,
and the circumstance was soon telepraphed to Rugby
station. An engine and tender were at once dispatched
to find the boy, but before their arrival at the spot he
had been picked up by the policeman, and it was soon
ascertained that beyond the fright he had only sustained
two slight scratches on the forehead and chin. The
poor little fellow who was not more than four or five
years old, was taken to Ullesthorpe, and thence, with the
father, to Rugby, after which they proceeded on their
journey—the parent expressing himself deeply sensible
of the active exertions made by the servants of the com-
pany, to which ho owed the preservation of the life of
his child.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—The ar-
rival of wheat is much less than of late, and having a
pretty good demand, an advance of ls. to 2s. per quarter
is established. Oats and shelling are unaltered in value,
and in moderate request. Barley is rather cheaper.
Beans very little wanted, and offered on lower terms.
