ROBBING FURNISHED LODGINGS. —Yesterday
Thomas Benjamin Matthews, a man of respectable family, who
was stated to have been a lawyer's clerk, but for a considerable
time without other employment than occasional writing, was
charged at the Worship-:treet Police-court, with his wife, with
robbing their furnished lodgings. The prisoners had both of them
an exceedingly meagre ard pinched look, but their apparel, though
scanty and threadbare, seemed to be worn with a scrupulous re-
gard to cleanliness and ii,.:!riess. The charges against them
having been proved, the male prisor-r said he had been driven by
distress to the commission of these effencts, a:though he belonged
to a family all of whom were higl.ly ropectable, and had himself
been well brought up. His father, who is dead, had, he said, been
a magistrate, and he has a brother a eltagyman, rector of a parish
aL Dancaiter, and it was Lilt on ihauday that he received tidings of
the death of his mother. He asserted that, having expectations
of property, he intended to make good everything belonging to
others that he had made free with under the pressure of distress,
and he hoped the magistrate would deal leniently with him. He
begged that, at all events, his unfortunate wife, who had acted
under his control, should be set at liberty. Mr. Bingham did dis-
charge the wife, but he remanded the male prisoner till Friday.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident took
place on the Edinburgh end Glasgow Railway on Thursday
morning about one o'clock, which was attended with the death
of George Macklin, one of the guards. It appears that Macklin
has been employed on the line for only four months, and in ac.
cordanee with a custom which provides that all new guards be
appointed to the charge of luggage trains as an initiatory step, he
had charge of a train of this kind which left Glasgow at eleven
o'clock on Wednesday night. The train reached Linlithgow in
safety, where one of the trucks was to be left, and for the sake of
eonvenience it was the last in the train. It was in connexion
with this particular truck that Macklin lost hie life, but as no
person saw the accident, the particulars cAnnot be given with cer.
tainty. From the position, however, in which the body was found,
it is supposed to have occurred as follows:—Before the train had
been fully stopped he had swung himself on the buffers of the
second last truck in order to save himself the trouble of running
forward and uncoupling the last one at the proper time; and
while in this situation, he had fallen down on the rail, and im-
mediately the remaining truck passed over his body. The unfor-
tunate man;was quite unable to speak, and died in about a guar.
ter of an hour afterwards.—Scotsman.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A CERTAIN CURE FOR SCRO-
FULA OR KING'S EVIL, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT-
ME NT.—A FRIGHTFUL CASE.—A young man named Bowman,
a shoemaker, living in James-•street, Manchester, had been
affiicted from childhood with the most malignant kind of
scrofulous ulcers, covering various parts of his body ; besides
other sufferings, they had deprived him of the use of his left
leg; yet, extraordinary to relate, this poor fellow has not only
had all the ulcers soundly healed, but has likewise regained the
complete use of his limbs by means of these two wonderful
medicines. Sold at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by almost
all respectable vendors of medicine throughout the civilised
world.
