A most dreadful calamity took place on Saturday se'nnight at Cork, by which three women and a man wo: . e italed on the spot, a fourth woman dangerously wounded, and seven or eight persons severely injured. The circumstances of the acci dent are these :—The Corn Market, which had been long in a state to threaten the sa'ety of those who had an; intercourse with it, or who may be occasionally near it, was a short time since judged too insecure to be permitted to stand any longer, and an architect was, therefore, instructed by the executive part of the Corporation to take it down. He had proceeded sci far in its denmlition as to have taken down a considerable part of the t i oof, when on Saturday, about thee &clock, whilst the labour ers were at Nyorl: on the roof, the proj-tcting stone cornice which terminated the upper part of the wall, having no super-incum bent *eight to cou,:terbalancc the projection, fell down sud denly, and, melancholy to state, w I.ilct a number of persons were collected immediately under it. The cot:sequences are as we have stated : four unhappy persons, of humble condition, were killed instantly ; some of them were terribly mangled by the immense stones which formed the cornice, and the others, though they have been much injured, escaped destruction most miraculously.

Pending the Admiralty appeal, the plaintiff applied to the defendant for six months' wages, four months' being due to him before the de tention of the ship. The defendant refused the plaintiff till the ship should be cleared, alleging that the voyage would not be compete till then; and the plaintiff left the ship, to appeal to the English laws.
