BETTING AT MANCIIESTER—WEpsmAy.

The Derby betting at the Subscription Rooms this day
was remarkable for the resuscitation of Chatanooga, who,
owing to a highly favourable trial this morning, advanced
to 100 to 7 (taken freely). Opening at 30 to 1, Chattanooga
was backed at various prices to win several thousands of
pounds, and, as ho is a "nobbled" horse, Mr. Naylor's re-
presentative is likely to become a warm favourite before
the start. Breadalbano was also in steady demand, 7 to 1
being scarcely obtainable against him at the finish.
Longdown declined to 25 to 1 (offered), and The Duko
bad no backers at less than 100 to 8. In fact, at ono time
15 to I was laid against the Marquis of Hastings's colt.

Fearful Accident on the North London
Railway.

Last night, about half-past 7 o'clock, much alarm was
caused in the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-street, by a
terrific crash, which shook tho buildings adjacent to the
spot where it occurred. soon afterwards, however, it was
discovered that the noise was caused by the falling of a
largo portion of the iron work, forming the semicircular
arches and girder supports of the new double roofing, in
course of erection at tho new station for the North Lon-
don Railway at Liverpool-street, a capacious structure, of
immense strength and solidity as to its foundation and ele-
vation. The span of the roofing is very great, and hence it
was divided by the architect into two parts, the arches
springing from the side walls to the centre throughout its
entire length. Prom the hasty inquiries instituted by
our reporter, shortly after the occurrence, it appears
that several portions of the massive iron net-work had
been placed in situ safely, but whilst the workmen were
engaged in raising other portions of the work, through some
cause or other, at present not satisfactorily ascertained, the
powerful " derrick" used for fastening the iron arches
slipped, bringing down the framework and pulling with it
other arches to the ground, but within the walls of the
erection, which, it is stated, have been in no degree injured
or shaken by the shock. At the time of the unfortu-
nate occurrence a largo body of men were em-
ployed either upon the roofing or engaged under-
neath in their hazardous occupation of raising :the
remaining part of the girder work ; and we regret to say
that several have boon seriously injured—one, it is feared,
mortally. Ho, with throe others, were at once taken to St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, whore they now lie in a precarious
state ; and Mr. Borlaso Childs, being early on the spot,
gave to them his professional assistance.

Considering the largo number employed at the time the
wonder is that the calamity was not far more serious than
it appc.,ors to be at present.

The consumption of snails (escargots) has become
so groat in Paris that it is said a special market is about to
be opened for them.
