SALMON POACRIXO.—An affray similar to that which occurred recently on the Coquet, but still more serious in its results, took place, early on Wednesday morning, on the Ede., near Carlisle. For name time past there has. it appears, been a great deal of poaching for minion in that strewn, and on the morning in question the watchers cause upon the poachers, and attempted to capture them in the water. A desperate fight ensued, in which one of the watcher: was so desperately maltreated that he died on the same day. Another poor felluw, it was feared, wag also fatally injured. Two persons, father and eon, have been arrested and identified as. parties in the light.  r A shacking affair was bmaght to light at the Bow. street Police-court on Wednesday. A youth only seventeen years of age. was charged with having had in his possession a loaded pistol, with intent to shoot his father, who octupies • reportable position in the British Mitruern. It appeared from the evidence of this gentleman, which was given with natural reluctance, that having /sawn to believe that some coins and cameos belonging to the ilinseum were on his son person he endeavoured to search him, whereupon the latter took a loaded pistol from his pocket, as be believed, with intent to inflict upon him bodily harm. Happily however, by the timely arrival of assistance all further mischief was prevented. The primmer being unable to find two sureties, as required by the magistrate, was committed to prison. An extraordinary accident occurred on the journey et the expreas train to Bury front Town on Saturday evening. By sonic. means, which have not been explained the wire of the telegraph became entangled with the wheels of the train, and net kw than two miss of wire pulled down. Tbe train was at length stopped, when one of the telegraph poles fell upon the Bury carriage, in which Lady Arthur Hervey and other persons were seated, but happily no personal injury was sustained.  A LAIROI Bum 13OPM CPT HOWlll.—lnformation was Drought into Kingston harhour Late on Tuesday evening of the fact that three nests of an evidently large ship were seen off the Bailey Lighthouse, at Howth, sticking up out of the water, and discernible from the foot of the topmasts upwards. The report was aonveyed by some of the trawlers employed in OAing the bay, and was at once communicated to the harbour authorities.  EXTRAORDINARY SWUM FROM AN OMNIBUS INTO rint Treaur.n.—About nine o'clock on Tuesday night great excitement was caused amongst the passenger. on London-bridge, owing to the following remarkable ease of suicide. It appears that for many years past Ifr. Herring, the omnibus propnetor of Lewisham, has been in the daily habit of running his vehicle from that place to the City sod back again. On Tuesday night, as the vehicle was performing its return, the conductor I Mr. Herring, jun., was noticed to step off the "monkey board" of the omnibus on to the step, then dash across the foot pavement between the panders by, and having mounted the steps of one of the recesses, plunged head foremost into the river. An alarm was immediately raised, the drags were procured. and search made for the unfortunatee man, but without effect There can be but little doubt that the deceased met his death before reaching the water by striking against the projecting piers of the bridge. No mum is at present assigned for the rash act. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDRNT WMI A THRASHING MACHIN& —A most frightful accident occurred on Monday at Boughton Wyville, Leicestershire, on • farm oacapied by Mr. Dunmore, caused by the bursting of the boiler of a steam thrashing machine. About eleven o'clock on tlw morning of the accident, while Mr. Butcher and ten men were in Mr. Dranmore's stackyard, employed In working the engine, it was ascertained that the supply pipe was leaking and means were immediately set abont to stop it. To do this the engine was stopped, and while some of the party were in the act of applying *now and red lead to the part, the boiler exploded with a load report and scattered destruction all atoned. At the time of the accident eight persons were standing , near the engine, four of whom have lost their lives. One poor fellow's head was blown off and was found at a distance of 50 yards, another's leg and head were blown away to a great distance. Two others were carried over menet potato camps, and at the time they were picked up were not dead, but expired towards evening. The other four are more or less injured, two we believe seriously, but hopes are entertained for their recovery. Mr. Butcher, who was also much scalded, was eonveyed to his own house at (kinky; and wears glad to learn his injuries are not of a very serious nature._  Two
