Cr INCURSION TRAINS ON THE GREAT WESTERN
I.IILwAT.-On Monday afternoon the first excursion train
. dam Bristol and Gloucester arrived at the Paddington ter-
mien ; the train was an unusually heavy one, the number
eho availed themselves of the trip amounting to nearly
1,800. The train was impelled by only one engine (the
*jot), and performed the journey at an average speed ap-
' flinching So miles an hour. The return journey will take
place this afternoon.
The NASSAU BALLOON.—On Monday night the
royal Nassau balloon left Cremorne-gardens, with a number
of persons, about seven o'clock, with Mr. C. Green, the
veteran aeronaut, Mrs. Green, Mrs. Van Buren, Miss Lowe,
Dixie, Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Spence, Mr. Hoole, Mr.
• Pond, and three other gentlemen. It passed over the
Thames, and proceeded in the direction of Croydon, de-
mending, after a pleasant journey of about 35 minutes,
mar Penge common, where the aeronaut safely alighted,
bring readily assisted by the inhabitants of the neighbour-
THE FIGHT ON A LOCOMOTIVE ENGLIE.-Yeeter-
-67, Temple, the engine-driver, and Poole, the stoker of the
mixed train from Bristol, who fought on the engine between
Bteventon and Didcet stations, thereby perilling the Urea of

intendent of locomotives, when, it having been ascertained
that Poole was the aggressor, he was immediately discharged.
Temple was fined • sovereign.
FIRE AT SMITHFIELD BARS.-OR Monday night,
a fire broke out in the premises occupied by the Londonliat
Company, No. 18, West Smithfield Bars. The fire com-
menced in the front shop, in which • large stock of hats was
deposited. Owing to the combustible nature of the goods a
ray few minutes elapsed before the flames had obtained
possession of the shop and its contents. The upper
of the building was occupied by numerous parties, wrorthieada
gnat difficulty in effeet.ng • retreat from the place. The
firemen, as usual, exerted themselves vigorously, and the
flames were got under soon after midnight, but the damage
. done was considerable.
- AN IMPUDENT IMPOSTOR.-The sightseers of the
metropolis have recently been gratified by the exhibition of
a being called " the Wild Man of the Prairies," who has
` held his levees at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. The
advertisements relative to this singular specimen of nature
• led the public to believe that he was a most mysterious
creature, half animal, half human, " the long sought-for
link between man and the ourang-outang, which naturalists
have for years decided does exist, but which his hitherto
' been undiscovered." Thus began the advertisement, which
bad the effect of attracting several visitors to the exhibition,
bat unfortunately for its complete success one too many. A
odent of the Times-who characteristically signsch.72Te " Open.eye "-paid his shilling, and was shown
into the sanctum of the monster. He at once discovered din
" Wild Man of the Prairies" to be no other than that
exceedingly tame dwarf, Hervio Nano, otherwise Har-
vey Leach, who about ten years since performed the
pet of a blue-bottle at the Adelphi, Surrey, and other
minor theatres. This, besides being the most barefaced, is
• also the most transparent attempt to deceive a gullible
' public on record.
' MUSEUM OF ECONOMIC GEOLOGY.-The new
• buildinKfor the museum, the sits for which is in Jermyn-
street, Piccadilly, is to be commenced forthwith. The
deposits at the present building at Craig's-court have, some
time past, outgrown the means for their accommodation.
LUDICROUS Occunamecr.-Yesterday morning a
tradesman of very extensive business, residing in the
• borough, near London-bridt,niad occasion to go to the
• Beath, for the purpose of changing notes to the amount of
801. m gold, and, upon arriving t ere, to his utter astonish-
' seat and consternation, found that he was not in possession
of the property. With the utmost speed he gave the In-
formation to several police constables, and also to the
station-houses, that he had been robbed of Bank of England
notes to the amount above stated. Having done so far, he
proceeded home for a list of the numbers and dates of the
notes, when, still more to his astonishment, he found the
property where he bad left it, namely, on the table of his
own parlour. Having obtained them, of course, he " per-
fectly remembered" that he bad forgotten to take them
with him.
BODIES FOUND.-Yesterday morning shortly after
six o'clock the body of a gentleman was discovered lying on
the shore of the river, opposite to St. George's-square. Life
had been some time extinct. In the course of the morning
the body was identified as that of a gentleman of property,
and repectably connected, named W. Johnson, 52, who had
resided for some time at No. 14, Belvoir-terrace, Vauxhall-
bridge-road. He had left home after dinner on the previous
evening, which was the last time he was seen by his friends
alive. He had been in a low and depressed state of mind for
MSS days past, but his family could form no opinion what-
ever
how he came in the river.- -On Monday morning a man
unknown was found suspended from a ladder, by the side of
a hay-rick near the Jolly Butchers, in the Green-lanes,
Tottenham, where the body. now lies. He was about 25
years of age, of dark complexion, with no whiskers, and was
about 5 feet 7 inches in height. He was dressed in a light
green coat, with gilt buttons,striped Valentia waistcoat,
drab goners, and a beaver hat, with the name et Lee,
Plummer's-row, City-road, written inside.

A STRANGE THIEF.-On Saturday last the follow-
ing extraordinary theft of • diamond ring took place at the
hew of Captain Bryant, 23, Wellington-place, Shacklewell.
It appears that • tame jackdaw, the property of a gentleman
kiln neighbourhood. was seen by the servant to enter the
bed-ream of Captain Bryant, and shortly after the jewel was
aimed. A search was made, and ultimately it was disco-
valid in the fore-court of the house, and, on furthetrogre;
at.., it was ascertained that the bird had taken it,
with another small article, from the room, but had fortu-
nately dropped it shortly after leaving the window.-Globe.
THE FIRST OP SEPTEMBER.-Yesterday being the
first of September the early trains of the several • ways
conveyed masses of metropolitan sportsmen with their Mon-
tan and pointers to various parts of the country, with the
Liming anticipation of abundance of game and good sport.
The reports from the crack manors are most satisfactory

on the ripening grain are in prime condition.
