Bengals which passed the hammer partook also of this
improvement, which may be attributed to the large quan-

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
CORONER'S INQUEST.
. .

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
SOUTH SHIELDS, OCT. 10.—After a minute exami-
nation of several other witnesses, the jury delivered the
following verdict :—" That the deceased was killed by the
N elson locomotive engine propelling a carriage, in which
was the said John Brown, to and against certain other
carriages, thereby causing his death, the engine being
the property of the Brandling Junction Railway Com-
pany. Deodand on the engine, 3001." The jury also
expressed a strong opinion that the accident was the
result of gross negligence and mismanagement of the
agents of the Company.
Considerable interest was taken in this unfortunate
affair. Mr. Alport, the railway manager ; Mr. Plues,
director ; and Mr. Newton, solicitor for the Company,
were in attendance ; and the verdict was received with
expressions of satisfaction on behalf of the friends of
the sufferers.

Burrell, another passenger, has since died of his in-
juries, and Greenwell, Gamble, and Young, are still in
a precarious state.

THE FOLLOWING CASE OF CURE BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
—Mrs. Jessie Anderson, living near the Fountain-bridge,
Edinburgh, suffered from lowness of spirits,-sick head-
aches, dimness of sight, together with a want of strength
and appetite. These symptoms were accompanied with
a cough and spitting of phlegm, and likewise much
windy spasms. No medicine had been of any service
to her, until a lady advised her to try " Holloway's
Pills," which gave her immediate relief, and in a fort-
night made her as well as well as ever she was in her
life. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) at the Establish-
ment of Professor Holloway, 244, Strand (where advice
may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable vendors
of medicine throughout the civilised world.

cline on former rates of 3s to 4s per cwt ;

tity sold amounted to 200 puns at 4s 2d to 6s for 30 to
37 per cent overproof. In Leewards there is still little
