By command of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, HENRY TOR RR NS, Adj u t-nt- G mend. DREADFUL ACCHJENT . A f MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, OCTOBER 14. A most shocking event has occurred here this morning, which. will cause much grief to many families in hum bielife. Amongst-the immense number of cotton fac tories erected this 3 ear in the town, okne has been built near Oldfield-road, in Salford, we believe by J. Bate man, Esq. It was made fire-proof. No timber was used in it. The principal supports were of cast iron. The floors consisted of iron beams, over which were thrown arches • f brick-work, which were covered with flags. The building is about seven stories high. It has been a short time since completed and filled with machinery, and let to various tenants, one of whom is Mr. Gough, well known to many mechanics as an inventor of a steam-carriage. Several hundred persons were em ployed in the mill. About nine o'clock this morning the iron beam which supported the floor of the fifth story suddenly broke in two. Instantly one half of the heavy floor gave way, and in a few seconds a chasm was made within the building from the fifth story to the cellars. Every floor was broken through, and machinery, iron, bricks, and flags, all went in one congregated mass. The unfortunate human beings who were at work under the part of the building where this event occurred, were many of them buried in the ruins, and instantly plunged into eternity. Those in the other part of the mill appear to have escaped without any material injury, though many in their fright jumped Out of the windows. The state of alarm and confusion while the event occurred was dreadful. Mothers and wives were seen running about in every direction, anxious to know the fate of their relatives, and many of them were hours before they could obtain information, and then probably they ascertained that they were lost for ever. On account of the threatening appearance of the outer wall, a short time elapsed before the work men could venture to remove the ruins. They soon, however, proceeded to work with considerable con& dence, and by their exertions a number of bodies have been dug out of the ruins. It is yet difficult to ascer tain the precise state of the killed and wounded. Se venteen dead bodies are now lying at an outhouse near the mill. Two more have been known to be taken home by their relatives, and yet it is currently reported that two other persons who were known to be in the factory are missing, making in the whole twenty-one killed.— About thirteen or fourteen are badly wounded. Several were got out of the ruins, after being there some time, without material injury. The individuals killed were principally females. The Boroughreeve and constables of Salford, with a number of police officers, immediately repaired to the place of this dreadful accident, but the immense con course of people which gathered from all parts rendered it impossible for the Civil Power to keep the ground and premises clear for the labourers employed in removing the ruins. A dismounted detachment of the Scotch Greys was accordingly. .sent for from the Hulme Bar racks, who rendered great assistance to the Civil Power. The Br.ossost sloop of war was removed from the dock-yard at Deptford on the Bth instant, having under. gone a partial repair, and been doubled at the bends to strengthen her to resist the ice in the North Seas. She has been coppered under the superintendence of Sir MAMMY DAVY, and protectors placed on each side for experiment, to ascertain how far it will prevent the decomposition of the copper in salt water, the edges of each sheet of copper having previously been rubbed bright with sand paper. The Btossoss will proceed to Woolwich to be commissioned. Mao SADLUR, SEN. — One of the most recent acts of benevolence of his MAJESTY is an order that Mr. Sadler, the veteran aeronaut, should be enrolled among the brethren of the Charter-house, which secures to that en terprising man a comfortable asylum for the remainder of his days. OPENING OF THE TOMES AND MEDWAY CANAL. Yesterday, the ceremony of opening this great un dertaking, which cannot but afford unspeakable facili ties to commerce, took place. About one hundred Pro prietors, &c. proceeded in barges from Gravesend, alotig the line of the Canal to Rochester, with bands of colours fl) ing, &c. About 25 years ago, a project was set on foot for cutting a Canal to unite the Thames and Medway; and as there was at that time, owing to the war, a very considerable ttaffic between London and the King's Arsenal at Chatham, it was eagerly engaged in. Messrs. Dodd, sen. and Walker, with other Engi neers, proposed plans for carrying it into execution. That suggested by Mr. Walker was, we believe, at length adopted, and partly acted on. By this it was proposed to cut a Canal perfectly straight, beginning in the Thames, about a mile and a half below Graves- end, and entering in the Medway, ht the village of Flindsbuty, about half a mile below Rochester•bridge. For about four miles and a half from Gravesend, the land h a level marsh, and for a short half mile from the Medway there is a sii:.ilar kind of flat soft soil ; but then a ridge of chalk-hills interposes, which extends so far down, that it was not possible to carry the Canal round them, and they are of such a considerable height that it was not feasible, in the short distance of three mites, to carry the Canal over them; the straight Canal, thelefore, was to be catered under this ridge of hills. The work was almost immediately begun, and the part of it easy of execution, viz. cutting through the marsh, on the Gravesend side, was speedily executed. A huge basin was excavated close to the Thames ; locks and gates were constructed, and considerable expense incurred. Some very feeble attempts were made to cut through the ridge of chalk•hills, but their money failing, and the commerce between London and Chat ham decreasing, the project was abandoned. About five years ago the shares were scarcely worth anything, and it was then resolved to resume the work. After some preparatory operations, the chief work of cutting through the chalk-hills was vigorously begun, and is n.Av in a great measure completed. The whole length of the canal is seven miles, and of this seven rather more than two and a quarter, or 4030 yards, are a tunnel cut through the solid rock. The depth of the mass above it varies from 198 to 80 teet, so that at an average it is 139 feet beneath the surtace of the hills. It is, we believe, the longest tunnel which has yet been cut in any part of the world. The cele brated one of the Trent and Mersey Canal, cut throu g h [ at Hareiastle, as given in the recent wot k of M. Dupin, is only 2,9:33 yards long, while the once celebrated tunnel near the town of Beziers, on the Canal of Lan guedoc, is only 720 feet in length. The breadth and height of this 'tunnel are still more extraordinary than its length. The width of the chan. nel is '22 feet fourinches, and the width of the towing path five feet—making the whole width of the arch twenty-seven feet four inches. The depth of water is eight feet—nine feet can be admitted—and from the water to the apex of the arch, the height is 32 feet six inches; making the whole distance between the apex of the arch and the floor of the tunnel, 404eet six inches. The tunnel at Harecastle is not more than three yards wide and four yards high ; is destitute of a traering; path, and. the vessels are pushed through it by tweseuen lying on their backs, and shoving with their feet against the roof of the tunnel. Of the whole 4,030 yards, up wards of 1,700 yards ate arched up with bricks, the re maiuder of the arch is formed in the solid chalk. The greater part of the excavations was effected by blasting. and the materials removed by. shafts, sunk for the pur pose. The expense has already amounted, it is saicf.its upwards of 250,0001. The number of persons empi*yed (mit for the last four years has been, on an • average, 250; and, we believe, as on all such works, a small cup, nel of seven feet wide was, in the first instance, carried right through. From this statement of its dimensions, our Readers will see that this is a stupendous undertaking ; and we can say, the execution, both as to neatness and solidity, is quite worthy of the vastness.. The tunnel is termi-, nated at both ends by very handsome arches, .faced .with brick and stone. The solid chalk is turned into a l well-formed arch throughout, and the brickwork is, massive. The tracking path has been both carefully and neatly cut. Soon after one o'clock, the company assembled, con. , .sisting of upwards of 100 of the Subscribers and their friends, and embarked on board four commodious' barges provided for that purpose, decorated With flags, .Sic. and lying ready for their reception' in the Basin, at , .the upper end of the Canal. In the first barge was Richard Sutton Esq. Sir Chas. Flower, and several indi viduals of high respectability and rank in the County. In the second, we observed the Rev. Mr. Owen, R. Button, jun. Esq. Mr. Brunell, the celebrated engineer, &c. Btc. A boat, containing a band of music, took the lead. At half-past one o'clock, the boats entered the Canal, when Sir Charles Flower immediately rose, and gave ' Success to the Thames and Medway Canal:— This sentiment was drank with enthusiasm, with three times three, by the company ; the labourers and spec tators assembled on the shore joining. The boats then proceeded down the Canal, towed by the labourers, the band playing Ituk, Britannia,' and other popular airs. At half past two, the barges came in view of Higham Bridge, and the entrance to the Tunnel. The scenery at this spot is most beautiful; the sweep which the Canal takes here, and the view of the surrounding hills, formed a scene romantic in the extreme. Soon afterwards, the barges entered the. mouth of the Tunnel, and here the worthy • Baronet, timing his word of command most appropriately, and with his well-known discretion, gave • The King, with three times three; the command was instantly obeyed, and the immense cavern reverberated with the sound of the well-executed fire, directed by the experience of 'the Hon. Baronet, and the notes of the band playing the National air of g God love the King.' At'two o'clock, upwards of 100 Gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner, at the Crown Hotel, Rochester, at which Richard Sutton, Esq. presided, suppoited on the right by Sir George Hoste and on the left, by Sir Charles Flower. On the clot h being removed, an ex cellent dessert, consisting of ices, pines, peaches, necta- - rines, &c. was placed on the table. Previous to which,) however, Non Nobis was sung by Messrs. French, Hill,' &c.—The usual toasts were given, and" the festivities protracted to a late hour. • A few days ago, at Wigton, in Galloway, a dog was stung by an adder in the tongue." The reptile had not missed its aim, for in the course of the same evening the dog was a lifeless corpse. Prior to its death the dog's tongue was much swollen, and represented the exact qPpearance of an adder, being speckled all over. 1.- • NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The books at Lloyd's, ac we stated yestei day, pre- sented a long and melancholy list of di , asters at sea, in consequenCe of the severe gale of Monday and Tues day. The losses • reported amount to nearly one hun dred vessels on the coast, and the n hole of the calamity is as yet far from being ascertained. A very great proportion of them are colliers and other coasting vessels. We snbjoin, from the reports to Lloyd's, and the let tern from the towns cn the coast, such parti- cftlitts as have yet transpit ed of - the effects of the storm: " Na.ta WHITBY, 'MONDAY EVENING, OCT. 11.—The gale has this day beet, dreadful beyond description, end presented a shacking spectacle to our eyes. First, whilst sitting at.dinner, a brig ran on shore close to the Point at Mill-beck; the crew were fortunately gut safe on shore, but the vessel is wrecked. Soon after, a schooner ran on the rocks pear the Peak, and went aft to pieces, when no doubt, every one on board perished. Immediately after this, a brig attempted to run on shore near Bay, but being unable for want of sail (her foresail being gone) to wear her, so as to come in before !he sea. she broached broadside to, and was overwhelmed in a mo ment, and every one perished. A minute or two afterwards I saw her bottom upwards, in which state she continued a few minutes, and then sunk. After this another came on shore close to the town, the prof which were all saved, and as the ship is on the sand, it may p Mbably be got off again. Four sail, I hear, have already gone oh shore at-the sand at Whitby, and I fear the accounts along the roast will be dreadful indeed, as it is thought the number of light I ship; on their passage is very great, and the gale still continues. Wfinver, Ocr. 12.—Wind E.N.E.--.Sunday night, it came on hard gale of Wind from the E. with rain, which still continues surd yesterday evening the following vessels came on shore: Chi IWhisby • Sand --, Fortitude, 'denim; Friendship, Wilkinson; • !Henry, -Gowlanik; and Lark, all of Sunderland ; also, Li berty, Watson,pf South Shields.

Crew saved ; and the vessel will probably be got off. Hanbury, Fewster, of Scartiorough, in ballast ; and Norfolk, of Dover, with plank and bops. Crews saved; vessels much damaged. Two brigs foundered off Robin Hood's Bay yesterday, and a vessel upset this morning. Crews all lost. A schooner is on shore at Peak. Five men saved, and two drowned. A boat marked' Squirrel,. of Sun- derland; part of a small vessel, and a quantity of apples and pears,' tame on shore at the same place.

Wednesday, the match between Moyle and Savage, for ten pounds, took place near the Sluice-house, in the neighbourhood of Green Lanes, Stoke Newington, about five miles from town. The agreement—the first three fair throws—minute time. Both the men are known in the P. C. Moyle is a Cornish man, and Savage a Welshman—Moyle somewhat the heaviest, but Sa. vage had youth on his side. At three o'clock the men ent.red square plot of ground that was railed round, attended each by a second—Moyle the favourite. In the first close there appeared to be little advantage on either side for two minutes, but in the • struggle for superiority, Savage drove Moyle against a table, which gave him the advantage; and he threw his man, although there were some doubts as to the fair. nes, of the fall.— One was given for Savage. Second close.—Moyle came up fun of good humour, bad the ad. vantage in closing, and threw his man cleverly In an instant.— (lluzzas for Moyle.)—One and one. In the 5.1 to the 6th closes the advantages varied, but Mostly against Moyle, who was somewhat winded. In the 7th close, Moyle threw his man very dexterously, althotiih Savage 'hewed himself no bad general by giving an instant roll on his side. This, however, would not do, and the umpires declared Moyle two, Savage one. In the Bth close both came down on their knees. %h.—Savage tame up v. and appeared to have forgotten for the moment that he was wrestling, by placing himself in a pugilist': at. titude; Moyle took advintage of this in taking his hold, and gave him a desperate throw, which was decided no fall. loth.—Savage's jacket declared foul, which caused some dispute and delay. 11.—A ions close and manly struggle, which ended by Moyle throwing Savage, and most present thought it a fair fall; the on, pires, however, differed, a long dispute took place, and it was ulti. mately given up as no fall. But little interest was excited until el., seventeenth and last close; but Moyle seemed to hive benefitted by the twenty-five minutes dispute respecting the eleventh fall, and Savage's Welsh blood got warm, and he had lost his temper.--. • Moyle came up cool and resolved, seized, and gave the completed fall of the whole, and was, consequently declared the victor. Savage's brother, who appeared to think, during the matoh, that he could perform te part better had be to contend with Moyle, as soon as the match was over, had two turns with his brother, and had the . business settled in quick time, by receiving two complete falls in as many minutes, To finish the afternoon's sport, a race took place between two bits of blood," and a bo-kicker, over a mile on the road. The first heat was declared by the Judge to be a dead one, and the owner of one of the horses, conceiving that he might have another day for another heat, sent his horse home, but a gensesan being present, better read: in the laws of racing, gave the other the hint that he had only to walk over the pound to win. Game is so remarkably scarce that many Gentlemen have declined shooting, as they iind they kill only old birds, the young ones having periskod in this inclement season. The crop of apples has failed to such an extent this season, in Kent aril Sussex, that the market price already averages 90 per cant. higher than last year. The quantity of rain fallen in Sussex during the last fortnight, exceeds, by nearly double, the quantity that has fallen in the month of October for nearly twenty years past.
