excited notice during the day by his deference to the
Prince Royal of Prussia, who was passing through on his
way to Carlsruhe.
A. TRAIN ON FIRE•—The down mail train from
Dublin took fire near Drogheda yesterday, and a quantity
of fireworks in the luggage compartment of a composite
carriage exploded. Mr. Elliott, a traveller for Messrs.
Amott, Dublin, was injured. The doors were burst open
by the shock, and the flames were extinguished by water
from the tender of the engine. The shock was felt
by the passengers in the adjoining compartment, but
beyond the injury of Mr. Amott no damage was sus-
tained.

EXTENSIVE FORGERY.—Painful excitement was
caused on the Liverpool Exchange yesterday afternoon by
a report that a commission merchant, well known in
Liverpool, who has been residing at one of the American
cotton ports, had obtained upwards of £20,000 by bills of
lading, which, on the arrival of the ship and cargo at
Liverpool, turned out to be forgeries. The gentleman is
said to have been himself in Liverpool a short time since,
but left almost immediately for America. Further dis-
closures will probably be made to-day.
