SINGULAR ESCAPE OF A BOY,-In connexion with a trip from Dunse to Edinburgh on Monday last a miraculous escape occurred. One of the carriage doors had not been properly fastened, and while the train was proceeding between Reston and Grant's House a boy, eight years of age, leaning against the door, fell out. It so happened that there was a small embankment where the accident occurred, and the youth, rolling into the ditch, escaped without injury. The boy's mother attempted to jump out of the carriage after him, but was prevented by a fellow passenger. On the telegraph being put in motion at Dunbar, she ascertained that her son was safe, and that he would be forwarded to Edinburgh by the mail train immediately following. engine-driver of the down train saw the man between the metals and Prices of Stocks, Railway Shares, &c.

The beef trade to-day was dull, notwithstanding that the supply of beasts was short, the number being 3,740. There was a good inquiry for inferior sheep early in the day, and full prizes were then realized, but the trade ultimately became hardly so good as last Monday. For veal there was more demand, at former rates, but no rdvance. The best quality of pork went 4d. per stone higher, realizing 4s. per 8lbs., and the demand was generally much better. THURSDAY.-There was a good supply of beef and mutton at this market, but sales were with difficulty effected at last Monday's currency. The attendance of butchers being limited, a number of beasts and sheep remained unsold at the close of business. Veal and port also moved off slowly, the number of calves and pigs on offer being rather large. TUESDAY.-Consols opened at 95, and closed at 95. For the account, after Beef premium.

MURDER AT QURENBOROUGH.-On Monday evening a murder was committed in the High street, Queenborough. The facts appear to be these:-A young woman named Emma Coppings, daughter of a farm labourer working for Mr F. Leese, was in the service of Mr Stevens, a clerk in the Captain-Superintendent's office, Sheer ness. She was sent for the supper beer at about eight o'clock; not returning in time, search was made for her. The unfortunate girl was found lying on the pavement opposite the market-place, a distance of about 200 yards from the Ship Inn. Her pitcher of por 96 ter was standing on the pavement near her. Her throat was cut from ear to ear. She was quite dead. Near her a razor and a man's cap were found; the razor was identified by a man at whose house a labourer named Prentice had been lodging. The cap was also identified as belonging to the same man. Mr Austin, constable of Queenborough, immediately with some of the Kent constabulary, commenced searching the borough and the fields around. At about midnight, a constable who was on duty on the highroad between Queenborough and Sheerness saw a man pass him, walking very quickly towards Sheerness, having a coloured handkerchief tied Consols for Money round his head; he slid his lantern shade off, and threw his light direct in the man's face. The man in a very confused manner said, "Then," said 3 per Ceat. Reduced... "Are you a policeman?" The reply was, "I am." Prentice, "I am your prisoner-is" she dead?" The prisoner was then taken to the police-station at Sheerness. It appears the girl New 3 per Cents was sixteen years of age. The prisoner had for some time past Long Annuities... been endeavouring to induce the girl to accept his attentions, which she had firmly refused. This appears to have been the cause of the prisoner deciding on murdering her. The razor with which the deed had been done appears to have been carried by the prisoner since Sunday last. THROWING A POLICEMAN INTO A QUARRY.-On Thursday night India Bonds last week, a police-constable, named Wardell, while on the old Holmfirth road, near Huddersfield, heard some voices in a wood that skirts the road. Suspecting something wrong, he stepped off the road at a point near a quarry and entered a wood, which stands on a steep declivity. Descending cautiously towards the noise, he saw a man crouching among the trees, and was making towards him, when another man, whom he had not before observed, started up in his path, and, driving his head violently into his stomach, seized him by the legs and threw him into the quarry, a depth of about twentyfour feet. The cries of the unfortunate officer, who was unable to move, brought to his assistance two men who were going along the lower or Holmfirth road. They procured lights, and took him to the nearest inn. He was afterwards conveyed to the Huddersfield Infirmary, where he was found to have sustained compound fractures of the right thigh and elbow-joint. He is progressing satisfactorily. POISONING AT SHEFFIELD.-A case of poisoning occurred at Sheffield on Saturday evening, by which one child has lost its life, and the lives of two others are placed in great jeopardy. The wife of Mr Brammer, powder-flask manufacturer, Hanover street, having three young children suffering from colds, obtained from the shop of Mr Hill, druggist, one penny-worth each of opium, Spanish juice, and juniper berries. Having made a decoction of the berries and dissolved the Spanish juice, she mixed them and the opium together, along with half a pound of treacle. About seven o'clock she gave the elder daughter Mary, two table-spoonsful of mixture, and the two younger children smaller quantities. About ten o'clock all the children were taken alarmingly ill. The father, learning what had been administered, at once called in Mr Nicholson, surgeon, who found the children in a very dangerous state from the effects of the opium. He immediately applied the usual remedies, but without success as regards the eldest child, aged seven years, which died at three o'clock on Sunday morning. The other two children suffered severely, but there is hope that they may recover. BURNED TO DEATH IN AN OVEN.-A few days ago a boy named James West, aged ten years, came from Scotland, to enjoy the hospitality of his aunt Page, at Berryedge, Durham. He was playing near to Puddler's row, Consett fron-works, at the time that some coal-waggons were passing down the incline to the coke ovens at Consett, which are filled from the top. He got on to one of the waggons, and as soon as he saw his danger he jumped off into a burning oven, which was one mass of fire, and on drawing which only a few bones were discovered. Had not a little boy, seven years of age, seen him jump off into the fire it is probable nothing would ever have been known of his disappearance, as there were between seven and eight tons of coal burning in the oven at the time.

The deceased, since his retirement from business some months ago, had lived with his family in lodgings at 16 Blenheim terrace, St. John's-wood. His circumstances were unfortunately such as to cause apparently a depression of spirits. Notwithstanding this, however, it does not seem that there was the least suspicion that he premeditated self-destruction; but on the morning of the distressing occurrence he was found lying partly undressed on his bed, in a lifeless state. A tumbler that had contained prussic acid was found near the deceased, from which he had drunk a quantity of that poison. A letter was also discovered in the deceased's room, dated as far back as December, in which he spoke of committing suicide, and said that he had previously taken laudanum, but failed in carrying out his suicidal intention. An inquest was held on Wednesday, and a verdict of "Suicide" returned, the state of the deceased's mind being left an open question. Mr Ackermann was in his fiftieth year. | | | | | 2311. | ...

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.-Yesterday week five lads, who were about to join one of her Majesty's ships at Plymouth, left Bristol by the express train. One of them, named Baker, being in high spirits, got up on the edge of the window, his head and body outside, his legs inside, and holding on by his arms. His companions, seeing his dangerous position, pulled him into the carriage thrice. After passing Bridgewater, he unfortunately repeated his dangerous feat, but for the last time; for, when only a short distance from Taunton, his head came in contact with one of the bridges on the line, and he was killed instantly. His comrades caught hold of his legs and pulled him into the carriage, but he did not speak a word. He was only sixteen years of age.On Saturday a fatal accident occurred upon the Great Northern Reilway, about five miles from Doncaster. It appears that a plate-layer was repairing the line in the vicinity of the Rossington Station, and, seeing an up train approaching, he stepped upon one side to allow of its passing.
