BREAD RIOT 1N PARIS.
(From Gulignani'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
followin: particulars have reached us from an eye-wit-
ness. The inhabitants of the Rue du Faubourg St. An-
toine and tVjacent streets, chiefly inhabited by cabinet-
makers, white-smiths, &c., assemuled in considerable
numbers at seven o'clock yesterday evening, and pro
c. eded 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 hall-past nine the mob commenced rais
tug a barricade across the Rue du Faubourg St. Antoine,
Kith the stones of the Rue Lenoir, 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 tree 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 thy, street.

GRAND CASINO AT THE ADELAIDE GALLERY,
STRAND.—M. Laurent, who first gave the public a taste
for Promenade Concerts, has converted the above well-
known establi.hment into a grand Casino, which will be
opened for the winter season this evening, in a style
of splerdour 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 weitu have been removed, and
the spacious hall now forms a grand salle de dame, 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 beaufets 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
hand 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, Winterbottom, Maycock,
J. Streather, Stanton Jones, Shargool, Pratten, Winter-
bottom, jun., Catchpole, 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 Terpsichore, will give each evening,
after the concert, a " Bal Pare D'Hiver," under the di-
rection of six masters of ceremony,

THE LATE FATAL AFFRAY AT BARKING.—On Fri-.
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
_ last
running match on the Barking-road, on the 15th f
moath. The evidence adduce 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 deliberrtion,
returned a verdict of manslaughter against Richard
Heywood, Henry Buddy, and William Branch, and the
Coroner issued his warrant for their apprehension and
committal to I,knate.
