DREADFUL CALAMITY AT TUE NEW BRUNSWICK THEATRE. In addition to what II e stated yesterday, we have this day collected every pat titular that we possibly could of the u nfortunate acLides.t which occurred that day at the New Bronswick Theatre. Our 'traders are aware that the Theatre had been opened for the first time since its election on Monday night; it was then crowded by the most respectable part of the inhabitants of the East end of the town, and the performances received with a hearty welcome, which almost insured its future suc cess. It was not then complete, and the wot Innen during the day time were employed on it. The Piece fit st brought out. was "The Nlermaiden's Well," founded on a tale of Sir Walter Scott's; this did not please, and a new Piece, suited more to the taste of the audience, was in preparation, and its fist rehearsal was appointed to take place yesterday morn ing. It was rf an operatic character—a new version of " Guy Mannering "—and the entire strength (", f t h e company were engaged in it; and not alone these, but o, e chorus singers and the figulatites, who ate neces ty to the iticidental ball: t, were present. The Company of Actors having thus assembled at eleven o'clock, for the purpose ' of rehearsal, while the bossiness was . soing forward on the stage, the roof of the Theatre fell elf with a dreadful et ash. The witole of the side of the Theatre which was in a lune with Well street, parallel toiliellclose-squate,was completelyand instantly demolished ; and a number of persons of dilferent ages and -.exec, and professions, buried under the ruins. We are indebted to the kind politeness of Thomas, Esq. the Steward of the Tower, for the most copious and ac curate details upon every part of the subjecr,as well as for the most correct list of the pers ,, fts w ho have been taken oust dead or wounded, lit who ate yet missing. The following is - an exact copy - of NII. Tlit,mas's list, at half p tst eight o'clock last nigiv: DlAL—Davit Sampson Maurice. Esq. proprietor ; Edward Gilbert, performer; two labourers, names yet unknown; Miss Mary Ann Feron, aged seventeen years, youngest sister of Mrs. Glossop, or es she is more commonly called Madame Fermi; and Mies Freeman. one of the Corps de Ballet. Mr. lieu:lce. who lay dead in a room adjoining that in which we copied the above list, left his house yesterday morning about eleven o'clock. its company with his wife. and after patting with her proceeded to the Theatre. within an hour he lay a man gled corpse in the street, but a short distance from his own house. Having endeavoured to males his escape from the falling ruins, he had passed to the very extreme line to which the fragments of the building were dashed, when he was struck obliquely on the head by some bricks, which threw him prostrate upon the pavement, and he was immediately after covered by an im menw mass of rubbish. A Mr. Campbell, one of the performers who had escaped the terrible fate of his fellows, having cccl dentally come to the spot where Mr. Maurice h ad been over whelmed, saw sticking out of the rubbish a foot, which he knew to be that of the proprietor of the Theatre. A num ber of men were immediately set to work upon that .part of the colas, and they succeeded, after some time, in extracting the body of the unhappy Gentleman; but every symptom of life had vanished. The agony of his wife, on learning his untimely fate, may well be imagined. It was with great dillcuky that she could be prevented from rushing iate the midst of the confusion which prevailed in the neighbourhood where her husband's body lay. Some of her friends applied to Mr. Thomas, the &sward and-Coroner of the Tower, for leave to remove the body to the house of the deceased, in Great Present-street, Goodnsan's-ilelds. That Gentleman having the body ie charge, in a view to the in quest which is to be holden, was obliged to refuse the request, but very kindly offered to accommodate in his apartments,at the Court House. any of Mr. Mautice's friends, who should think right to core and spend the night in that place. The person of Miss Feroo Incision shockingly mangled—one half of her bead was left in the' raise. The following is a correct list of the wounded persons who have bees rescued from their dreadful condition, and who have been Injured with diferent degrees of severity : Mt. Carruthers, who ie joint proprietor with Mr. Maurice, of the Theatre. This Gentleman's legs are dreadfully bruised, as is hat body; he is not, however, considered in extreme daager.... Joseph Si:intake. the property man, dislocated spine. This Gentleman died in an hour after the list had been made eat. .eliodges, a state mason, cut bead. Harris, the stage door keeper, has fractured his leg. Clarke. a brass founder, has been similarly initired. itchellot plasterer.wounded is the head. Horne, a carpenter. ditto. Roberts. a blacksmith, slightly wounded ; Seencet, a bricklayer, dislocated shoulder; Abbott, a carpenter, a compound fracture of the leg (very bad); Miles, a carpenter, ge neral contusion all over the body. Women wounded--Footer. a comb maker's widow, slightly wounded ; Hallo' servant, bro ken thigh (nor expected to live); Shaw, a carpenter's wife, slightly wassailed. It thus appears, that at eight o'clock last night, the ascertained - sesenbee of the de ad was seven—namely, Mr. Maurice, Mr. Gilbert, two labourers; Miss Fee= Miss Freeman. and Joseph Namara The number of th e wounded at the same hour was thirtena ten men and three women. All the wounded, accept Mr. Cu mi t te n, the proprietor, and Mr. Harris, a performer. were sttendauts and workmen. The manager, Mr. Percy Ferret] escaped with a slight contusion, and bas been able to attend the scene of damnation during the greater part of the day. air. Fearen, the leader, was not much injured; but, in ad. dition to the addicting death of one of his sisters, another was very severely injured : the comb which the wore was driven into her head, and an operation was necessary to remove it. A third sister was also slightly wounded. The circumstances attend ing the escape of some of the performers were most extraordinary. A lir. Goldsmith, wise was on the stage a minute before the falling In of the roof, observed the chandelier to shake. and the general crash having almost immediately succeeded to this appearance s be jumped into the stage box, where a large beam which lad been forced down by the incumbent weight of the galleries, fa in such a manner as to preserve him from beinf crushed by the descendiug ruin. In this situation, the beans forming a complete defence against the weight, which would other- Wile have crushed hint to atoms, he saw the roof sink with dreadful noise and confusion, and beheld the destruction of his friends and companions. Several labourers who had been taken to a state of insensibility to the shop of Or. Bruton, in Wellciose square, were bled by bins, and eaabled, in conscqiience of the ho me& which they derived, to proceed home. Those who had been most severely wounded were conveyed to London Hospital, where a great number of Medial Gentlemen wore in attendance, and be stewed' I'mm the enfottunate sufferers every kindness and assist ance which their condition required. Of the dead, Miss Peron sad Miss Freeman lay at the engine-house Weliclose-square ; Mr.Mautice was taken to the Court-house, a nd the others public Anuses in the neighbourhood. At eight o'clock, Mr. Thomas issued an or d e r for seven shells, in which to deposit the dead bodies, until the Coroner's Inquest can sit upon them. The crowd by which the neighbourhood of the theatre bad bees all day beset, increased at might to an alarming extent. Between twenty and thirty thieves were taken up in the, course of the day. Many wretches bad the audacity, in open light, to seize upon whatever came within their grup, of the dresses, decorations, and other property, which had been brought in safety out of the ruins ; and one wretch, of meet horrible and disgusting stoney-heartedaess, attempted to drag a reticule of the arm of one of the actresses, at the moment when she was being extracted from the rubbish. 'lb' conduct of a detachment of the VU Regiment, sent from the Tower, by Major Bethpage was extremely proper and praise weetby. They resisted the efforts of the mob with great effect. but with perfect coolness ; and the passage s committed to their ewe were perfectly tranquil. Sir. T heme, the Steward et the Tower, dreading the consequence of leaving the neiekbeewhwed unpestected to the ravages of the enormous crowd of thieves and piellpeckets by which the place was infested, applied early in the evening to the Commanding OGcer, to request that dise soviet* al the military might be continued until morning ; and it wee settled that a part of the soldiers then on duty should continue to aid the civil power through the night. About seven o'clock. all the per. farmers who had been supposed to be present when thereof fell in, an d had escaped unhurt, called on Md. Thomas, at the Cow boom, whets a long conversation took place open th e cause sod ch.- curnstaitcos of the catastrophe. air. Thomas inquired wbetbee they weld give any authentic account of the persons who were in the house when the rout fell in? Mr. Campbell, one of the performers, said that the rehearsal way only of the music. It was only a telsearsal of one piece, and o bit only one half of the company bad been summoned to attend. There was therefore a less than usual number of the performers present, but a very great number of carpenters. As, however, it was usual with the performers to drop in at rehearsal time, even wbcp they had nothing to rehearse, on that day i t was pr obable that several o f th e co rr s eerie present besides those who had been expressly summoned. Mr. Thomas inquired if the Gentlemen bad say recommendation Mama Which they wished to address to bias with regard to the best means of continuing and directing the removal of the rubbish? Mr. Campbell replied, that he had gone in the course of the day and had received from the Surveyor of the toWorks St. theCatherine'sre en Docks,ks one hundred c' men, who, under the direction of as inspector, were incessantly engaged in searching fot the bodies which had been buried in the ruins. Mr. Thomas inquired what was the amount of the loss? Mr. Wilkinson said that it reached to something over £lO,OOO. Mr. Thomas asked if any part of the property had been insured? Mr. Wilkinson replied, none whatever. One of the persons in the room said that the loss was much mote extensive, as the whole of the bills had not yet been sent in. It was here stated, by a person present, that at seven o'clock another body had been dug out ; it was that of a man who had been walking on the opposite side of the street when the building fell, and who was immediately overwhelmed in the ruins. Mr. Campbell said that he had gone to the Theatre at eleven o'clock, and continued there some time, when, recollecting that he had been requested by Mr. Maurice to deliver a note to a Gentleman in the neighbourhood, he left the house for the pur. pose, and had not been ten yards from the door when the catastrophe occurred. On herring the terrible noise he looked back, and the beautiful structure which he had quitted a moment be. fore, was a pile of ruins. lie stated that Mr. Finlay, the scene. painter, was, at the time of the accident, in the painters' room, immediately over the stage. His room, with its floor, and all the contents, being precipitated by the falling id of the roof, he was of course borne down with tremendous Violence; but in his descent, happening to stick in the baluster of a spiral staircase, which led from the stage into his rosin, he was in this manner preserved from destruction. Mr. Thomas uked, if the proprietor required any additional protection for his property ? Mr. Wilkinson said, that there was no money in the house; the principal property was the dresses and decorations, which were, he believed, sufficiently protected by the force in attendance. A barrier has been elected ruund the building. It commences at the corner of Wlll street, leading from Rosemary-lane to the theatre, and teaches to the other end of Well-street, near Grace alley. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The extent of the calamity which occurred yesterday morning cannot possibly be ascertained until the whole mass of bricks, rubbish, and timber, which cover the numerous dead bodies—many hundreds of tons in weight —have been removed. Between one and two hundred men were constantly empl.'yed the whole of yesterday. till past one o'clock this morning, in removing the mate rials that cover the rest of the sufferers, and it has been calculated that about thirty persons, dead or alive, are still buried under the ruins. The excavators worked till they were completely worn out by fatigue, and after two o'clock this morning, they returned to their homes to recruit exhausted nature. Many persons still remained in the neighbourhood who had lost relatives by the accident, anxious to catch a glimpse of each corpse as it passed, to see if they could recognise the individual they sought after. The body of a Jew, named Levy, was discovered between eleven and twelve o'clock, and a number of per sons of the Jewish religion, as soon as the corpse bad been conveyed to the watchhouse, carried it from thence to the deceased's late dwelling. Levy was a seller of oranges, andia as passing by the theatre when it fell. The body of Miss Fearon, one of the actresses, when taken out of the ruins, was dreadfully mutilated. The head of the deceased was nearly divided, and the limbs nearly all broken. body of Ellis, one of the door-keepers, was also crushed to !freers when disco vered. Of the ten bodies taken to the watch-house, eight of them have been removed in shells to their friends' houses. Several other bodies were iemoved direct fsom the ruins to their late residences. Jesse Miles, a carpen ter, who was killed while at work in the shop of the Theatre, was so dreadfully crushed, that his death must .have bean instantaneous. The workmen and labourers employed in digging for the bodies continued at work until one o'clock, when they finished their labours for the night. The crowd at that time was still vet y grrat, some anxious to know the fate of their relatives and friends, were loud in their surprise, thinking that by continuing at work during the night, they might be the means of rescuing some more of their fellow creatures. At six o'clock this morning the workmen resumed their task of clearing the arena of the Theatre, but up to nine o'clock no additional bodies were found.— The guard of soldiers were reinforced at about seven o'clock, at which time, and indeed for two hours pre viously, a large concourse of people had assembled.' Upon further inquiries, it appears that at most not more than 100 persons wore in the Theatre at the time the ac cident happened. Three of the workmen escaped death miraculously. They were working over the stage, and heard the crash, ran to the staircase which runs up in one corner of the building, and this stood firm, notwithstanding several large beams fell against the wood work. As many of the performers and workmen were near the orchestra and in the dressing rooms, seve ral bodies must be buried in the ruins in these places; the. workmen are clearing the rubbish in these directions ; at least eight or ten individuals perished about these places. It bas net yet been mentioned, that the person who kept the shop next to the public house, on the opposite side of the street Os bakes ), was killed. He was standing in his shop, and was killed on the spot. All the individuals in the London Hospital are doing well this morning. Miller, one of them, Well comielled to submit to the amputation of his leg, otherwise mortification would have ensued. Two o'Cis.cx.—As yet the exertions of the workmen have been unsuccessful; no more of the bodies of the sufferers have been discovered.- The dray-horses, at an early period of the day, were removed; and so great was the accumulation of rubbish over the carcass of one of them, that, in extricating it, the chain that was at:ached for the purpose twice broke. It is unnecessary to Mate, that anxiety and suspense of the deepest desci iption still prevail in the neigh bourhood. Few, if any, certain facts have been ascer tained. Vague and uncertain rumours, as hope or fear suggested them, were flying about; but wishing to ar rive at the troth, we made the most minute inquiries, and find that all have had their origin in the sources we have already mentioned. There is reason to suppose, that several of the individuals thought to have been in the Theatre when its destruction took place, were not actually on the spot. The company only being recently established, and the residences of its members un known, it is imposaible to ascertain at present who are or are not the victims. Mr. Palmer, Mr. W. Williams, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Nodder, Mr. Adcock, and Mr. Philips, for whose safety apprehensions were entertained. we are happy to say have escaped uninjured. The fate of Mrs. Russell, as excellent actress, is still uncertain. The general impression, which we hope will be realised, is, that she was not within the building at the time. Mrs. Wilki nson has also escaped, but the most melancholy forebod ings prevail with respect to Miss Hanand, who had been engaged in the operatic branch of the establishment. The Inquest on the sufferers will take place this evening, before Mr. Thomas, the Coroner for the pre e net of the Tower, but the proceedings. it is said, sill b e of a limited character, and that a lengthened Inquiry i n to the c•+use of this deplorable event will afterwards t ke place. As high winds may be expected, we would suggest that immediate exertions may be instantly made to pull I.U. DON. FRIDA Y, FEBRUARY 29. 1828. STOCK EXCIIANGR, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Of the pecuniary loss to the proprietors little is said, in the horror excited by personal calamity, but it can not be trivial. The building itself cost upwards of 20,0001. and what remains of it is of very little value. Many tradesmen residing in the vicinity of the Thea tre will suffer much by the calamity. Since iti erection the property in its neighbourhood had advanced 2001: per cent.

Fsar..—About four o'clock this morning, a fire broke out at a place called Conlbole-stairs, Fountain -court, in the Strand; the premises were principally occupied as warehouses and stabling ; the flames for a time threatened destruction to the houses contiguous, but the speedy arrival of the engines, and a plentiful supply of water, soon arrested the progress of the flames, and the fire was got under in about an hour's time without doing material damage. The inhabitants of the narrow courts adjoining had removed their furniture and effects in the greatest alarm.

IlonnraLE Altiftlairt.—Saturday morning, about two o'clock, an armed party attacked the concerns of Me Arigna Iron Company, and having tied the watchman on duty on the premises, proceeded to the hour* of Mr. Cox, an English Gentleman, who had been sent over by the Company from Lindon, as resident agent lon the concern, and set about breaking the windows. Upon hearing the noise, Mr. Cox got out of bed and asked what they wanted but his question was hardly answered when a discharge of firearms took place, and the unforttrnate Gentleman was shot dead. They then proceeded to break ail the windows, and having ob tained an entrance, they rifled the house of every article of clothing, and took all the money they could find.
