The adjourned inquest upon the persons who were killed
by the recent accident on the Trent Valley Railway wa,,
re.umed yesterday at the Bull Hotel, Nuneaton, before
Mr. W. H. Seymour, coroner. Several witnesses were
examined, but no material f ct respecting the accident
was elici,ed. A plan of the portion of the railway where
the accident took place was exhibited, and some of the
evidence turned upon the question whether proper pre-
cautions had been taken to prevent animals from getting
from the field on to the railway. Ode witness exoreseed
his belief that the cow which had caused the accident
bad jumped over a stile three feet high. The inquest
was agai„djourned. Mr. Ince (who is not yet out of
danger) is still slowly progressing towards recovery.
Miss Richmond and Mr. Dallas are also progressing fa-
vourably.
BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY —Our zoological readers will
probably be interested to hear that a young hippopota-
mus has been born in the Garden of Plants at Paris.
The little creature made its appearance at the top of
the water of the tank occupied by its mother about
6 a.m. on Monday, May 10. After swimming about a
while the little thing attempted to get on dry ground,
but the descent from the sleeping apartment
of the pa-
rent hippopotami into their bath not being sloped, it had
some difficulty in raising its weight out of the water.
The mother then came to the rescue, bat in her endea-
vours to assist her little one up the step managed so to
bruise and injure its tender body that it died the same
•

evening.
THE ATTEMPTED TNSURRECTION AT CHALON.— The
Tribunal of Correctional Police of Chalon-sur-Saone
yesterday commenced the trial of the men who were
concerned in the outbreak near that place:on the 6th of
March la,t. The number of these men is 36, and they
are all workmen, labourer e, or petty traders. All are
accused of having formed part of a secret political society
for the overthrow of the Government, and some of them
are in addition charged with having formed a nocturnal
assemblage, others with having carried arms or had
illegal possession of arms and ammunition, with having,
attempted to seduce soldiers from their duty, with hav-
ing uttered seditious cries, or with resisting the police.
Toe trial, it is expected, wid last several days, as sixty
witnesses have been called for the prosecution, and sone
hundred for the defence. The principal accused, a man
named Serey, better hnown by the name of Henri, is in
flight ; another of the accused has also fled ; but the
other thirty-four are in custody. Serey is about thirty-
two years of age, and was for some time an active de-
magogue at Marmande and Agen. A fter the coup
d'6tat he was condemned to transportation, but he fled
from France and for serne time wandered about Italy
and Spain. Henri obtained a pardon, returned to
France, and took up his residence at Chalon-sur-Saone.
Being of plausii,le manners and posses-ing a certain
facility of elocution, he soon obtained great influence
over the workmen, and they got up a secret society. It
was principally through the exertions of these men that
the insurrectional attempt of March 6 took place. The
trial was proceeding when the report left.
FATAL RAILWAY AOCIDENT.—Riohard Forshaw, a
man employed as a horse driver at the Edge-hill sta-
tion of the London and North-Western Railway, was
accidental:v killed last week by being run over on
the line. 'He was attaching a horse to some waggons
when an engine came np, struck the row of waggons,
and Forshaw, who was knocked down, was so in-
jured that he died a few days afterwards. The co-
roner's jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

Captain John Sanderson has been appointed to
the Archer, Lieut. J. H. Thomas and Lieut. R.
Pitman to the Archer, and W. L. Gordon, surgeon,
to the Fisgard.
COMIIUNICATION WITH RUSSIA.—The Anglo-French
steam Packet Company have established a line of
