The pea crop is also said to be partially blighted. This morning the weather in London was overcast ; wind ; tampenstare milder than yesterday. The imports of foreign grain into London since last Monday were reported this morning es large of flour (chiefly American), moderate of wheat, small of barley, and large of oats, mostly from Baltic porta.

For some time past workmen have been engaged in the erection of a new gas holder, capable of eon. tainhig 80,000 cubic feet of gas, and which had been so far completed as that the holder, being finished, was suspended by chains attached to the pillars, which w e r e t o b e its =anent support, and which were some 60feet in height. Tus. tardily it was raised bv means of these chains to the height it will attain when full of gas, in order that the workmen mkht fuilah off some of the points which could not be done with the holder in that position. There were a number of workmen employed als.tit it in one shape or other, some of them on the top of it, some of them on th e pill ars to which the chains are attached, and • considerable number em ployed in various ways on the ground outside the tank, when, about 12 o'clock, with a crash whi c h r esoun d e d throughout and alarmed the surrounding neigh hoorkoud, the holder got detached from the chains MeMg It, which snapped into a hundred pieces, fell • distance of twelve feet into the bottom of the tank, while the immense pillars —some of them smamhed into half-a-dozen pieces— swayed some outwards and some inwards, crushing and nattering the workmen in all direc tions. One of these, a man of the name of David Craig, was employed arranging some iron plates at the south-east cm. per of the tank, when he was struck on the head by • piece of the coping which connects the different pillars at the top, and killed on the spot. Robert Stewart, the foreman of the workmen employed in the job, who was at work some where about the top of the holder, was also severely injured Omit the had and lee. He was conveyed to the London Hospital in a state of insensibility, where he lies in a very precarious state. Michael Connelly and James Doherty were also 'merely injured, theformer having one of his legs broken in two places, and were both conveyed to the Lon. doe Hospital. There were • number of others more or leas injured, and who were promptly attended to by Dr. Arthur, a High-street, Shadwell, tint who. after having their mann& dreamed, were able to walk to their own homes.
