It will have been observed in our last quola`ions
of the price of bullion in Paris, that the premium has suddenly
fallen about 6 per mille, or nearly 2-3ds per cent., as compared
with the quotations of the previous week. This has again re.
stored the rates of gold in the two countries to about the sane
position as they were in before the last decline in the exchanges
between Paris and London.

RIOTS ON THE NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.-
Most serious assaults and breaches of the peace were committed on
Saturday night, Sunday, and Monday, last week, by the railway
workmen in the Cockburnspath district. Saturday being their
payday, constables and innocent persons, all met the same fate,
from a number of drunken fellows, wheresoever they met them.
Several persons are so much injured that their lives are despaired
of; others escaped with broken and dislocated bones. Such, we
understand, is the deplorable state of the districts on these occa-
sions, that Sir John Hall, Bart., the resident magistrate, has deter-
mined to have the assistance of the military next pay.day.—
Berwick Warder.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON TIIE RIVER.—On Wednes-
day night last, three gentlemen, Mr. James Russell, a gentleman
of independent circumstances, and Messrs. Robert and William
Paine, surveyors, residents at Walton, accompanied by a water.
man named Winter, were crossing the river Thames in a boat at
the Witford ferry. The party crossed the river in safety, and the
gentlemen were on the point of landing, when Mr. Russell, in
stepping from the stern of the boat, missed his footing and fell
into the water. The tide was running high at the time, and the
unfortunate gentleman was swept onward by the current. The
party in the boat immediately put off to render assistance, and
rowed rapidly to assist the immersed gentleman, whose cries for
aid were distinctly heard. Owing to the darkness which prevailed,,
the boat was rowed in a wrong direction, and whilst they were en-
deavouring to bring the boat round it capsized, and Messrs. Paine,
together with the waterman, were immersed in the river. Mr. 11.
Paine luckily grasped the gunwale of the boat, and held on until
his cries attracted the attention of some people at the Admiral
Bowen beer.house, who put off in two boats and picked him up.
Mr. William Paine, being an expert swimmer, reached the shore in
safety. The waterman also contrived to reach the bank, but in so
exhausted a state that, in endeavouring to raise himself from the
water, he fell bank into the stream, and was carried away by the
current to some distance. The poor fellow then contrived to clutch
the bank, but being completely exhausted, he was on the point of
again sinking, when his cries for help drew Mr. William Paine to
the spot, who rescued him from his perilous situation.
ACCIDENT TO ONE OF TIIE VETERANS OF TRAFAL-
OAII.—On Thursday an old pensioner of the name of John Rosier
(who was on board the Victory at the time of the action off Tra-
falgar) met with the following accident :—lt appeared that the old
roan, who formerly possesszd a very powerful voice, recently had
the honour of singing before her Majesty and Prince Albert whilst
upon a visit at Greenwich Hospital, and since that period he has
occasionally sung in some of the concert rooms. Last evening,
after having gone through one of Dibdin's ballads at Mr. Smith's,
the Hope Tavern, Clare market, in leaving the stage he suddenly
slipped down the two or three steps. On being picked up it was
discovered that the poor old fellow had fallen with his leg under
him, and with such violence as to have broken it in two places.
FRIGHTFUL CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.—Last Sun.
day morning a labourer in the employ of Mr. Hallett, a farmer at
Cuckfield, took three horses from the stable and turned them into
the field. Shortly afterwards one of the animals began to evince
symptoms of hydroplu,bia, tearing up the earth, dashing wildly
about the field, biting the other horses most fearfully, and gnawing
the gate.posts and rails, seizing the stones in the path with its
teeth, and throwing them intr. the air with great violence. Whilst
the fit was on, a boy accidentally passed through the field, and had
a most miraculous escape. He was attacked by the infuriated
animal, and he may attribute his fortunate escape to his umbrella,
which the horse seized with great violence, tossed it into the air,
and then bounded off, leaving the poor boy an opportunity of
escape, of which he speedily availed himself. The fit was on him
several hours, during which time he had lacerated himself in a
shocking manner. At length he became exhausted, and dropped
dead in the field. The other horses have since been destroyed.

FATAL ACCIDENT FRoM EATING DRAWING
COLOVRS.—On Wednesday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the
Queen's Head, Pitfield-street, Iloxton, on the body of Arthur H.
Bentley, aged two years and a half, a fine infant, whose death was
the effect of poison, which was contained in colours which were
composed of asseniate of copper. It appeared that deceased was
living with his father, Mr. A. Bentley, fancy stationer, No. 20,
Pitfield.street. On Monday afternoon last, about five o'clock, his
mother gave him a slice of bread and butter, with which he went
into the shop. After he had been there several minutes he re.
turned into the parlour, when she became alarmed on observing
him vomiting a large quantity of greenish matter. Mr. Packer,
a surgeon of the neighbourhood, being called in, discovered that
he was suffering from the effects of poison, when it was found that
he had swallowed several squares of green drawing colours that
were in a drawer in the counter, within his reach. The poor
child, after enduring severe agony, died about two o'clock the fol.
lowing morning. Verdict," Accidental death."
CORONER'S INQUEST.—SUICIDE FROM MATRIMO-
NIAL DIFRERENCES.—Wednesday afternoon an inquest was taken
by Mr. Baker, at the Queen's Head, Pitfield-street, lioxton, on
view of the body of William Murphy, aged 20, a tailor, who com-
mitted suicide at No. 7, Wood street, Old-street-road, where he
was living with his wife. Deceased was married on last Christmas.
day, since which time he has appeared frequently in a state of me.
lancholy, in consequence of quarrels with his wife. That morn.
ing, about ten o'clock. he went to his father's house, where he was
followed by his wife, who asked him to give her some money; he
refused to do so, when they both returned home, and he locked
himself in his room. After being alone about an hour, his wife,
finding she could get no answer from him, burst the door open,
when he was found behind it suspended by a rope, life being quite
extinct. Deceased was in almost destitute circumstances, there
being only a few rags and two broken chairs in the room. Ver.
diet, " Temporary insanity."

DEATII FROM A VARICOSE VEIN.—MT. Baker held
an inquest on Wednesday at the White Bear, Bartholomew-square,
St. Luke's, on the body of Mrs. Eliza Berryman, aged 37, wife of
a shopkeeper in King.street. It appeared that deceased was far
advanced in pregnancy, and had swollen legs and veins, and that
one of the latter, just above the ancle, burst on Saturday evening
last while she was lifting a tray of bread from off a baker's head.
She called the ledgers to her assistance, and imprudently placed the
leg in hot water, which of course augmented the bleeding. Mr.
Bruce, a surgeon, was then called in, and found her in a dying
state, from exhaustion, having lost at least half a pail full of blood.
She was too far gone to be rallied by stimulants, and died in a
quarter of an hour after the arrival of the surgeon. Verdict,
Died from excessive hemorrhage, caused by a varicose vein."
