EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(From the Chronicle.)
We have received the Paris papers of Monday by
extraordinary express.
The accident on the Rouen and Havre Railway, of
which a description is annexed, caused a great
sensation in Paris on Monday. The Barentin Via-
duct, which is now a heap of ruins, was a splendid
work of art, and its fate is universally regretted. The
effect of its destruction will be to postpone the open-
ing of the Havre Railway probably to the end of
the year.
Lord Brougham arrived in Paris on Sunday from
Canes. The Noble Lord is on his way to London.
The contents of the Paris papers are not important.

FALL OF TIIE GREAT VIADUCT OF BARER*.
TIN ON THE ROUEN AND HAVRE RAIL-
WAY.
The Rouen journals of yesterday give the following
acccauit of the giving way of the viaduct of Barentin,
on the Rouen and Havre line of railroad. On Friday,
at about six o'clock in the morning, a tremendous
rumbling sound, which was heard as far as
Pavilly, near threesquarters of a league from the
spot where it originated, awoke the inhabitants of Ba-
rentia. It arose from the falling of twenty-eight of
the pillars which supported the viaduct, which rose
more than 100 feet above the level of the ground.
The people hastened in a mass to the scene of
the disaster, fully apprehending that many lives had been
lost. Happily, however, they were soon satisfied that
this was not the case, and that the viaduct alone was the
sufferer. The piers and other of the ruins were piled
one upon the other, and fortunately in such a direction
that the only other building touched by the fall was a
corn mill on the River Sainte Auslreberthe and this was
thrown down. There was one of the miller's mea in the
mill, but he heard the noise in time to shelter himself
under a main beam, and when drawn from under the
;ruins he had received no other hurt than a slight wound
ti ore of his fingers. The mill, with its machinery, 1
was completely crushed. It had been purchased by the
