ADULTERATION OF TOBACCO.—The Excise autho-
rities, under the immediate direction of the Hon. Chairman,
Mr. Wood, have recently been very active in putting down
the adulteration of tobacco by special inspections and prompt
proiecutions, and conviction where the frauds hnve been de-
tected. The following cases have been brought before the
local judicial authorities within the last few weeks, and the
parties have been fined in the sums named, viz. ;—Mr.
Tickle, of Bolton, 150/. ; Mr. Laffer, of Liverpool, 300/„•
Messrs. Nichol and Gough, of Chester, 300/. ; Messrs. Wood
and Son, ofDoncaster, 150/. ; Messrs. Gartans, of Lincoln,
250/. ; Messrs. Gamble, of Gainsborough, 600/. The case at

whole of Thursday and Friday last, was conducted by Dr.
Bateman, of London, for the Excise, and by Mr. Cartwright,
of Bantry, for the defence. One of the witnesses for the
Crown was Professor Graham, of the London University,

ON THE VERGE OF THE GRAVE ! OR A MIRA-
CULOUS CURE BY HOLLOWAY'S PHIS !--James Langley, a
ladies' shoemaker, residing in Allen-street, Goswell-street,
caught a violent cold about twelve months since, which being
neglected brought on a swelling of the legs and feet, pains in
the side and shoulders, night sweats, with inability to keep
food on the stomach ; indeed he was at last reduced to such
a state of general weakness and debility that no one thought
he could long survive; but by the use of Holloway's Pills
every dangerous symptom quickly disappeared ; and he is
now as hale and•as hearty as ever he was in his life. Sold at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand (where ad-
vice may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable Medi-
cine vendors throughout the civilised world.
FATAL ACCIDENT.,--TWO MEN KILLED AT WOOL-
wicn. Several men of the Royal Artillery were yesterday (Fri-
day) afternoon employed in digging and carting gravel from the
gravel.pit between the battery and Repository-grounds to the
Royal Arsenal, and two of the men, gunner and driver Norwood,
and gunner and driver Cochrane, belonging to Captain Dyson's
company, 7th battalion, having in the progress of digging gone
under the bank, their operations and the state of the ground and
gravel above them caused the whole to give way, and, falling upon
them, they were killed almost instantaneously. Their comrades,
who were present at the time, soon got out the bodies, and medical
men were promptly on the spot, but life was totally extinct in the
one case, and after two or three gaspings, the other ceased to exist.
VICTORIA PARK.—AII doubts of the commence-
ment of operations in the park during the present spring, are re.
moved by the Crown having given permission to the market
gardeners to resume possession of their property till Michaelmas.
day, and having rented all the pasture land to Mr. Ridge, a large
proprietor, till the end of October. The terms for the purchase
of Bonner's-hall, which was the property of Guy's Hospital, and has
been the subject of ranch litigation and delay between the Crown
and the hospital, have been finally arranged Hilt week: It is, how-
ever, considered likely that workmen will be at once employed to
stake out the boundaries of the park, and that the excavations for
the drainage will immediately commence.
