Alarming Accident at the South-Eastern

said, " Never mind about Hyde-park now ; go home.'
Crook then gave him a violent blow on the side of his
head, which knocked his hat off. Complainant reized
hold of him, upon which he was assaulted by the other
prisoners, who succeeded in taking his prisoner away
from him. Complainant went in pursuit, assisted by
other constables, when they were all taken into custody
and conveyed to the station.

this day.

This morning, shortly after six o'clock, an accident of
an alarming character occurred near College-street,
Crucifix-lane, Tooley-street, to the early Crystal Palace
train. It appears that as the men were engaged this
morning in getting ready the first train for the Crystal
Palace, it was found necessary to shift a number of car-
riages from one line to the other, which intersect one
another near this spot, and that by some mistake on the
part of the switchman in not turning the points the train,
when formed, instead of running on to the main
line to come up to the departure platform,
went on to the shunting terminating against
the wall of the arch abutting on College-street. On
the engine-driver an-I stoker seeing the imminent danger
to which they were exposed they jumped off the engine ;
the consequence of which was that the engine ran
against the wall, scattering the materials in every direc-
tion, and precipitating the tender and one of the car-
riages into the street below, to the consternation of the
surrounding inhabitants, whets they now remain,
blocking up the thoroughfare. Fortunately no lives
were lost.

Whitley, 91 D, and other policemen, corroborated the
evidence.

Crook was fined 403., or, in default of payment, one
moath's imprisonment in the House of Correction, and
the other prisoners were fined 20s. each, or, in default,
14 days.

ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLER. -
.Bridget
Mackey, a single young woman, of not very prepns•
ses,ing appearance, was charged with assaulting Mr.
Boylson, landlord of the Horse and Jacks, and also biting
the hand of police-constable D 224.
It appeared that about half•past ten o'clock the previ-
ous evening the landlord was attempting to clear his tap-
room of some men who were fighting. The prisoner
resisted, and scratched his face, and when taken into
custody by the policeman she bit his hand, and it re-
quired the exertions of three constables to take her to the
station-house.

She was fined 20g., or, in default, 14 days' imprison•
ment for each assault.

FRANCE.

BOURSE, October 9, Half-past Three.—Not-
withstanding another fall of per cent, in the
English Consols, the French Securities have
been very firm, in consequence of numerous
purchases for cash. There has been a report
that new propositions have been sent by the
Austrian Cabinet to renew the diplomatic
confer ences, and it was added that the Czar
had accepted the mediation of Austria. Prices
were very buoyant, not only in the Rentes,
hut also in the principal Railway Shares to-
wards the end of the market, large purchases
having been made for a banking-house, which
had sold at the beginning of the crisis,
and realised profits. The Threes have improved
from 64fr. to 64fr. 60c. All the Railway
Shares have gone up. It was asserted towards
the close of the Bourse that M. de Bourqueney had
left Paris to reopen negotiations. The following
are the last quotations :
