BREAD RIOT IN PARIS.
(From Galignani's Messenger.)
A serious disturbance took place on Thursday night in
the Faubourg St. Antoine, occasioned by an augmenta-
tion (of 4 centimes) in the price of the 41b. loaf. The
following particulars have reached us from an eye-wit-
ness. The inhabitants of the Rue du Faubourg St. An-
toine and adjacent streets, chiefly inhabited by cabinet-
makers, white-smiths, &c., assembled in considerable
numbers at seven o'clock yesterday evening, and pro-
ceeded to the bakers' shops in the vicinity, in order to
lay in provisions of bread, in consequence of tho rise in
price commencing this morning. The quantity left after
the sale of the day was soon disposed of, and the crowd
increasing became riotous, and broke the shop fronts and
several of the gas lamps. This scene continued for some
time, and about halt-past nine the mob commenced rais-
ing a barricade across the Rue du Faubourg St. Antoine,
with the stones of the Rue Lmoir, which they unpaved
with incredible celerity. The Horse Municipal Guard
soon afterwards arrived, and rode among the crowds
several times, but they always opened their masses and
gave them free passage, closing immediately behind
them. A battalion of the 48th Foot, headed by its
Colonel, afterwards came to the spot. They were re-
ceived with cries of Vive la Ligne !" and the tumult
having lasted until near midnight, the populace began
gradually to disperse, and the streets became compara-
tively quiet. The rioters did not, however, separate
without making an appointment for rendezvous at the
same quarter this evening. The bakers having been
prevented baking in the night, carts loaded with bread
this morning arrived from all quarters, and the bread
they contained was sold in the street.

GRIND CASINO AT THE ADELAIDE GALLERY,
STRAND.—M. Laurent, who first gave the public a taste
for Promenade Concerts, has converted the above well-
known establishment into a grand Casino, which will be
opened for the winter season on Monday next, in a style
of splendour that eclipses anything of the kind ever at-
tempted in England. The building has been entirely
re-modelled, under the direction of Mr. J. Breckell, the
theatrical machinist, the various scientific specimens
and articles of vertu have been removed, and
the spacious hall now forms a grand salle de danse, which
has been most superbly decorated by Mr. Hurwitz,
and other skilful artists, the ornaments being designed
in Paris. Some beautiful statues,:by Brucciani, are
tastefully arranged in the orchestra, the vestibule, and
other parts of the building, while the walls of the lower
part of the grand hall are covered with plate glass, orna-
mented with wreaths of laurel, evergreens, and bou-
quets of artificial flowers, which present a coup d'ceil
the most brilliant. Magnificent beatifets have also been
fitted up, where refreshments of the most recherche
description will be served. It is .the intention of the pro-
prietor to give a series of soirees musicales, for which a
band of upwards of fifty talented performers have
been engaged, under the direction of M. Laurent, jun.
The solo performers include Messrs. Patey (leader),
Grattan Cooke, Carte, Patton, Winterbottotn, Maycock,
J. Streather, Stanton Jones, Shargool, Pratten, Winter-
bottom, jun., Catchpble, Range, and Sedgwick. Among
the vocal performers engaged, are Mr. J. W. Sharp, and
Mr. Binge (from Vauxhall Gardens), Mrs. J. Roe, and
Miss Clairton. M. Laurent. in order to gratify the taste
of the votaries of Teepsichore, will give each evening,
after the concert, a " Bal Pare D'Hiver," under the di-
rection of six masters of ceremony.
BARRY, THE CLowN.—This " merry monarch" of
the ring, having been disappointed in not receiving a
benefit at Vauxhall Gardens, Mr. Batty, in the kindest
manner, offered him the use of Astley's Royal Amphi-
theatre for Friday next, when Mr. Barry will take his
benefit at that house. A long list of novelties will be
brought forward on the occasion. Mr. Carter, the lion-
king, has proffered his valuable aid, besides which his
mammoth horse will appear in the ring. Canfield, too,
the American Samson, who has just returned from
Belgium, will show his wonderful feats of strength, and
pull against the mammoth horse. To these novelties
will be added the extraordinary performances of several
German artistes, with whom Mr. Batty made engage-
ments during his recent journey to the continent. Mr.
Barry may therefore expect a crowded house, which he
deserves, and will undoubtedly obtain.
Tun LATE FATAL AFFRAY AT BAR/LlNG.—Yester-
day Mr. Baker resumed, for the third time, the inquiry
at the Cock, Cock-hill, Ratcliff, touching the death of
John Harrold Levitt, from the injuries inflicted, at a
running match on the Barking road, on the 15tt of last
month. The evidence adduced on the former occasions
have, from time to time, appeared in our columns. The
unfortunate affair had excited much interest, in conse-
quence of the respectable connexions of the parties im-
plicated. Yesterday several hours were occupied in
examining Witnesses, who identified those of the party
who had beaten the deceased. The Coroner summed up
at great length. The jury, after a short deliberation,
returned a verdict of manslaughter against Richard
Heywood, Henry Boddy, and William Branch, and the
Coroner issued his warrant for their apprehension anti
committal to Newgate.
