BALLOON ASCENT AT THE VAUXHALL-GARDENS.-
The veteran Green made his first night ascent at Vauxhall-
Gardens yesterday evening. Mr. Green effected an easy
descent at 50 minutes after 11 o'clock, two miles beyond
Croydon, in the parish of Croome, distant from the royal
gardens 11 miles.

This forenoon, as a young lady was riding along
the l3rompton-road, her horse, a spirited thoroughbred, took
fright at the noise of a large organ and started off at a fearful
pace. The lady for some time kept her seat with tenacity,
and used every exertion to control the animal, but her
strength soon gave way and serious, if not fatal, injury,
would have doubtless befallen her, had not a gentleman,
whom we have since ascertained to be Captain R. Grace, of
the 88th Regiment, rushed forward, and with great intrepi-
dity and at no small risk, succeeded in checking the animal
in its mad career. The lady was taken down in a state of
insensibility, but after a short time was restored to conscious-
ness. The fearless manner in. which Captain Grace rescued
the lady from her perilous position was the theme of general
admiration with the bystanders.

DEATH CAUSED BY JUMPING FROM A RAILWAY
TRAIN.—A melancholy accident occurred on Thursday
morning at the Wingfield station, on the Midland Railway,
which resulted in the death of one young man and the seri-
ous injury of another. Richard Griffith, who keeps the
Post-office at Higham, near Alfreton, and a companion
named Mosley had been to Derby, where they remained all
night at the house of a relative of the former—Mr. Hudson,
ticket collector at the Derby station. Mosley having to be
at home to his employment the first thing on Thursday
morning, Griffiths agreed to accompany him, though his
time was by no means so pressing. An excursion train
from London to Leeds was upon the point of leaving the sta-
tion about six o'clock, and whether they considered this the
ordinary six o'clock train, or whether they believed it would
stop at Wingfield station, is not known, but in this train
they seated themselves. Finding, on their arrival at Wing-
field that the train would not stop, they unfortunately
jumped out. Mosley sprang upon the platform, and, re-
bounding, fell underneath the carriages and was killed on
the spot. His companion was more fortunate, but whether
he will ultimately survive the shock we of course cannot
say. He lay insensible for an hour, and was subsequently
conveyed home in a fly, and is now under medical treatment.
