HORRIBLE CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT NEW-
CASTLE.—An inquest was held on Monday afternoon, at
Newcastle, on the body of Ralph Parker, a young man,
who came to his death under the following melancholy cir-
cumstances : On Saturday night week deceased went into
an eating-house in the Pudding-chare, to procure some re-
freshment. Some other persons were there when he went
in, among whom were Selby Green and John Bell. Bell
and others were tantalising Green in various ways, some-
times taking a portion of the meat off his plate. Parker, the
deceased, joined in annoying Green, and also attempted to
take a piece of the meat off his plate, when, of a sudden,
Green took the knife he was eating with, and plunged it
into Parker's eye with such force that it entered the socket
several inches, and he was obliged to relinquish his hold of
it and leave it there. The deceased shouted in excruciating
agony, and attempted to take the knife out. but could not ;
Bell endeavoured to pull it out, using great strength, but
failed, and Green himself, awakened to a sense of the injury
he had inflicted, also tried with both hands, and at length
succeeded with much difficulty in extricating it. The police
took Green into custody, and conveyed Parker to his resi-
dence, where he lingered in great pain till Sunday, when
death put an end to his sutierings. After the jury bad
viewed the body, the Coroner ordered a post mortem examina-
tion to be made, and adjourned the inquest for that purpose.
COMBAT OF BALLOONS AT VAUXHALL GARDENS.—
Wednesday evening the long-announced pyrotechnic and aerial dis-
play, in the shape of an ascent of a number of toonstre fire and
gas balloons, took place at the " royal property," which was
crowded with visitors of everygrade, including a number of persons
of rank and distinction. The balloons were designed and executed
by Mr. Darby, the celebrated pyrotechnist, in conjuction with
Mr. H. Coxwell, the editor of the Aerostatic Magazine, and Mr.
Gypson, the well-known aeronaut. The Waterloo ground was
the scene of action, where the aerial army was ranged rank and
file. One of the balloons was a perfect representation of that popu.
lar character Mrs. Caudle, and her appearance was the signal for a
general shout. Then came the immortal Punch in all his glory,
who was equally well received. In order to render these miniature
machines and the grotesque figures more distinctly visible, the
ground was lighted up by a variety of coloured fires. which mate-
rially added to the general display. The balloons ascended
simultaneously, and at an altitude of several hundred feet exploded,
discharging fireworks of every description, and ending in one gene-
ral conflagration, forming a coup d'ceil the most brilliant. The
applause of the spectators was loud and long-continued. We per-
ceive that on Monday next (the last night of the season) Mr. R.
Wardell and Mr. T. Holt, the lessee and treasurer, will take a
joint benefit, when all the talent of the metropolitan theatres, in
conjunction► with the artistes of Vauxhall, will appear, and thus
render thefcte the most brilliant of the season. _

CRIM. CON. AND ROBBERY. At Worship street
Police.court, on Wednesday, a young man named John Hooking was
committed for trial, charged with eloping with the wife of a cab-
driver, named James Freeman, and with carrying oft; at the same
time, the whole of Freeman's household giiods. The frail "fair
one " is a complete cripple, and walks upon crutches, but she is
said to be in expectation of considerable property, and thence her
attractions. The youth declared that the property he was charged
with stealing was given to him, and on leaving the Court he took
au opportunity of kissing the complainant's wife, exclaiming at the
time, " Well, good bye, old girl, never mind I"
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Monday morn-
ing last, about eight o'clock, a fatal accident occurred at the junc.
tion of the Leigh and Kenyon with the Liverpool and Manchester
line. A young woman, about twenty years of age, named Ellen
Platt, of Tyldesley, near Leigh, started from the Bag-lane (Chow..
bent) station, with the intention of proceeding to Liverpoel by the
half-past seven train. On arriving at Kenyon Junction, she got
out of the carriage at the contrary side to that which is customary,
and walked round the carriages on to the Liverpool and Man-
chester line, for the purpose of crossing to the place where the
Manchester train stops, to convey the Liverpool passengers to their
destination. At this moment the whistle was heard, and a train
of third-class carriages was seen rapidly approaching on the track
which the unfortunse woman was just stepping upon. A working
man, who was travilliling from Bolton to Warrington, witnessing
her danger, rushed forward to endeavour to save her, when the
" buffer" of the engine threw them both a considerable distance ;
they were taken up and conveyed to the railway station, and every
assistance was rendered by Mr. Bradshaw, superintendent of the
Bolton line, Mr. Linten, superintendent of the county constabulary,
who happened to be in the train, and others. Mr. Bradshaw dis.
patched an express engine to Leigh for medical assistance, and Mr.
Brideoake, surgeon, was speedily on the spot, but in less than half
an hour from the time of the accident the woman expired. The
man, we understand, is doing as well as can be expected, and has
been conveyed to his residence at Bolton.—Manchester Guardian.
