SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, at a
quarter to ten, a boy five years old was clinging, or
playing, round the lamp-post opposite Bailey's, truss-
maker, Oxford-street, when one of Meux's drays passing
crushed the poor boy's head against the lamp-post. He
was taken to the University Hospital, where he shortly
after expired. He lived in Legg-court, close to where
the accident happened.
MONSTROUS MUSHROOMS. ^ A mushroom was
gathered at Wingerworth, on Saturday, measuring 111
inches in diameter and 343- in circumference. A few
days ago a fine mushroom was gathered in Worksop
Manor Park, by Mr. Wood, which weighed 101 oz., and
measured 23 inches in circumference, and was beauti-
fully fresh. It appeared to have grown with great ra-
pidity.—Derbyshire Courier.

POST-OFFICE ftnynNuE.—The gross revenue of the
Post-office for the year ending the sth of January last,
as appears from a Parliamentary paper printed within
the last few days, was 2,229,289/. 12s. Bd. After de-
ductions, the net revenue amounted to 984,496/. 14s. 6d.
TEE FOLIOS OF HABIT.—An illustration of this
and of the spirit of the times was strikingly exhibited i❑
a late sitting of an association, recently formed in. Paris.
The members were discussing the rules to be established,
when it suddenly became known that fighting was going
on in the streets of the capital. A member immediately
proposed that the debate should be adjourned, as blood
was being shed in Paris; but he was opposed by M.
Chaissaignac, who coolly observed that circumstances of
this description ought net to interfere with their proceed-
ings, as their frequency would occasion too many inter-
ruptions!
