BALLEGED EXTENSIVE FORGERIES AT LEICESTER. LEICESTER. Considerable excitement prevails at Leicester in consequence of the discovery of an extensive and sys. tematic forgery of debenture bonds of the Stock of the Charnwood Forest Ruilway Company* ?.ln" vestigation into the affairs of the company which is now proceeding has disclosed the eXIstence of forged debenture bonds of the value of between £ 50,000 and £ 6 ',000. These bonds were purchased to a considerable extent by small Capitalists. A very important question of liability bas arisen in consequence of the chairman of the compariy having been induced by some plausible pre o sign transfers of shares and other documents witnout see- ing that those which they replaced were destroyed.

For the sixty appointments as recelver in bank. ruptcy under the new Act, throughout the Kingdom, there were 250,000 applicants. PURGATIVES.—There is scarcely any which purgatives and opening medicines are not and much sickness and suffering might be preven ea were they more generally used. For this purpose 1. Bardsley s Antibilious Pills are convenient, mild in action, and cer- tain in their effects. They cleanse and iavlg°rate, puri- fying the blood without hindrance to occupation. jSold by all chemists in Boxes at 13 £ d and <-s Box sent post free on reeicpt of 15 or 35 stamp3, »»m.

CAERLEON. BURGLARIEs.-The Rising Sun public-house and the premises of Mr. Harrison, grocer, Ponthir, were broken open during Tuesday night by some thieves, and although there was a large sum on the premises; only a few coppers were stolen.

The robberies following so closely on those at Cwmbran have produced considerable excitement in the neigh. bourhood, as indicating that the enterprising burglar is still abroad. LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.—There were present at the monthly meeting on Monday, Messrs. T. Parry (in the chair), J. Gray, J. Grpen, W. Griffiths, and J. Jarrett. It was reported by the collector that since the last meeting he bad received 129 10s. Id., on account of the district late, the total amount collected being £208 13s. 2d. Mr. Jarrett enquired whether it was a fact that on two occasions the Government Auditor refused to pass the accounts, and that the last audit had to be adjourned in consequence of mistakes being discovered. The Clerk said Mr. Jarrett's information was partly right and partly wrong. At the last audit the books did not balance by about C3 10s., and the audit was adjourned for a day. The mistake was partly his (the clerk's) and partly the surveyor's, and he (the clerk) had, unfor- tunately to pay the amount out of his own pocket. There was no mistake at the previous audit. The Chairman then pointed out the necessity of having the accounts of the board advertised in the news- papers, and a number of slips printed. Other boards did so, and he uuderstoo they were compelled by law to advertise. Mr. Jarrett expressed an opinion that the advertising would be expensive, but he thought a balance sheet would be of use. The Clerk said the accounts should be advertised. The Chairman sug- gested that a copy of the local papers, containing an account of the recent narrow escape at the railway crossing, be forwarded to Mr. Grierson, General Manager of the Great Western Railway, in order that something might be done to remedy this evil. The Surveyor reported that several house-owners had laid on water to their premises, and as far as he could judge seemed perfectly well satisfied with it. Mr. Jarrett drew the attention of the Board to the state of some of the houses in the town, which he alleged were unfit for human habitation. The Board had power, providing the owners did not themselves see the nuisance abated, to pull down the houses so com- plained of. He certainly thought something should be done. No action was, however, taken, and the meeting terminated.

KIDWELLY. ALARMING ACCIDENT TO THE IRISH EXPRESS.- An accident of a very serious character as regards the destruction of property occurred on the South Wales section of the Great Western Railway on Saturday morning, just outside Kidwelly Station, and was at- ■■ tended by a most miraculous escape of all the occu- pants of the train. At Kid welly Station here is a siding which runs from either end of the yard nearest the up-line. During Friday night traffic had beta run. on to this siding, and owing to a set of Mints not being closed several empty waggons passed on to tbo main line unperceived. The conspquence w«s th"; when the up Irish express approached Kiawelly 4.15 the signal alf right was given, and T0.e traili. which was proceeding at a speed of over 4" rale^ an hour, dashed into the obstruction. A fearfti; wreck was the result. Tbe empty waggons were h:1r){J about, one of them being sent up the line a of half-a-mile the passenger engine ran o l 'he Ene, and was overturned, and the coaches which t be travel- ers occupied were for the most part shattered frightful manner. There were between .'i0 and 't passengers in the train, but though all sustained shaking only two complained of beiug hurt. A spec, train was obtained between six and seven o'clock t. resume the journey of the ill-fated express. dovT- mall and other morning trains were considerably do. layed by the block on the line, but a curubet oi specials were put on till the road was all clear, atii passengers were transferred across the damaged pari. The down line was soon cleared, and tl ,ns were Worked through on the single road between and Pembrey in the morning. About two up line was free from obstruction, and traffic went 00 much as usual. The damage to rolling stock has been estimated at between £ 2.000 and £ 3,000.
