A poor fellow, named h °lnds :eaves, a carter, in the employ of a Mr. i r '3 r ts to • 'r at contractor, who was. supplying bricks and the workmen engaged in making the new .. 4 e of sewers in Catherine-street, was driving a horse qd cart by the houses at the moment of the accident, we lament to say that he was killed on the spot, his horse and cart were partially buried under she tubbish. It were vain to attempt a description the consternation that prevailed in Exeter-street I P I the vi c i n i ty at the time, and for several hours k ( ter the d rea df u l occurrence.

Infor ion was given at. Bow-street office of the cala !'tous event, and Mr. Minshull, the presiding Ma strate, after expressing his sorrow on hearing of the circumstance, gave an order for the whole of the 7• cees on the establishment, in attendance, to pro- F e ed immedi a t e ly t o th e spot, an d use th e i r u t mo st tio endeavouring to save the lives and pro ; y of s the sufferers.

Th e b o d y was warm, out, from the nature and extent of the injuries, death must inevitably have been instantaneous.— The unfortunate man has left a wife and two Children. Our attention was called from this Shocking spectacle to the ruins, where Stevens, the c onstable,. Mr. Thurston, and Ledbitter, the Inspec tor of Police, and others, were engaged with the labourers in digging out the old woman, and -by half-past three o'clock she was taken out of the ruins, and carried to the Bell public-house adjoining. On coming into the air, she was soon able to exercise her tongue, and she said, " Oh, my Otod I am smothered ; my arm is broken—Oh, my head!" She received every possible attention; her o Yes and face were sponged, and she drank some water. On looking at her arm, which was broken at the wrist, she said," Oh, G o d, m y arm i s s m a shed pieces." She was conveyed, as soon as she was 14 some degree recovered, to the Middlesex Hos -1144- While at the public-house, she said that her ' l ame was Elizabeth Hedgley, and that she was 78 Years of age; she had resided in the garret of the house because it was almost rent free, in conse . !Pienc e o f the property being so ruinous, and it han g been in Chancery for a great many years. We not to forget the narrow escape Mr. Wrench, the COMedian, had of his life. He was passing along b . teter-st reet, b y t h e b ac k o f th e E ng li s h Opera 711se, which i s a lmost opposite to the spot where r s e accident happened, and had not cleared the - " t of the public-house above three or four : °11 ( 1 8, whe n he heard a cracking in the building, •, -44 c/i, induced him to run from the impend dariger, and to call to others to avoid it. Several then person s h a d h a i r -breadth escapes from de struction. „, At half-p ast f our o ' c l oc k th e l a bourers bad been to excavate so low as to get to a cavity formed •: Sli tler two l arge b eams , w hi c h was sufficiently wide to admit a man by creeping on his hands and knees. . ) rie of the labourers said, that he heard voices be liearh the rubbish at the end of the cavity. More labbish was carried away and voices were distinctly heard, and a daring fellow named Burke, and two thers equally courageous,namedWoolman andßoddy, went down the cavity into the ruins, and made their aay to the spot from w h ence t h e cr i es procee d e d, id they very soon got out a girl (Selina Stokes, trine years of age) from the rubbish, who appeared a lmost insensible from heat and suffocation. She w as able to speak as soon as she was in the air, and s he was carried to the house of Mr. Callahan in the ' a cre -street, and was attended immediately by the two above-named surgeons. The infant boy of Mr. Stokes was taken out of t he rubbish, near the same spot, immediately after '''erds. H e was a fine handsome little fellow, and t hough the body was quite warn), yet pulsation had "ased some time. The surgeons., after using means kWhich proved ineffectual) to restore the infant, said that the child had died by suffocation, there being s lot a mark of external violence perceptible. Selina , Stokes who was taken out just before, was brought aito the same room, where the infant was lying dead hi th e sofa. As soon as her eyes were cleaned from 1 , 11 lime and dirt which tilled them , and which caused " e r great pain she was asked how she felt ? She tephed, "Oh s ! my mother and sister, and brother, , th eY am killed !" she drank some water, and after wards a shivering fit came on, when the medical r a tletnen attended her with great p rom p titude. Sh e soon recovered sufficiently to say, " My mother ▪ ironing, ,and I was reading a book, at the time \n eti the house fell down, and I stood at the back f 5 ' my mother, wino is dead." She here caught a • - litl 'Pbe of hr dead brother, and screamed, " Oh, God, my poor little baby's dead ! oh, my poor Frank!" It was found that her head was cut, d id th e lower partof her legs lacerated. Between five , a r 44 six o'clock, another voice was heard under the e d 4 " B , and from the indistinct sound, it was evi -1 the pe rson was nearly exhausted. Mr.Peto, the u dder, w e e, we b e li eve , is the contractor for build thg the sewer hi the adjoining street, and who read ily lent th e serv ices of his workmen to assist ~, 1 the occasio n , di rec t e d the rubbish to be removed front the top of the ruins over the part where the Voice h a d been heard. In a few m i nutes , h owever, the persons excavating below got out a young wo. man, who . proved to be Elizabeth Stokes, aged 17 Iler clothes were torn to rags, her legs were Sh e b ru i sed, and s h e was near l y su ffoc a ted. ` 3 he was also carried to the house of Mr. Callahan, 4 , 11 d was placed in a chair. She was for some time h ' i. n e i ll i t ning—" Oh, my God ! my poor mother, and t h",uter, and sister are killed !" • She was informed O r . 07 were safe in bed. She said, " I'll not • s e to i t4 • it' Unless • I see them." The F irl Selina ce s,Was brought froth a bed in an adjoining room to see her sister, and the instant they met they clasped each other, one exclaiming, " Oh, Betsy," and the other, " Oh, Selinit Their Inquiries after . :their mother aild'hrititir; &eited in all present the most painful sensations—the scene was truly heart rending. We saw Mr. Bartley, the comedian, pre sent, and his feelings did credit to his heart, though there was nothing like acting in the display. The young woman, Elizabeth Stokes, was not so seriously injured as was at first supposed, and she was able to state that the only person in the house, at the time of the accident, were her mother, her self, her sister Selina, and her two brothers, the infant Francis and the boy Frederick. And in the garret there was only old Mrs. liedgley, she believed. While making this - statement, the poor girl's father, Mr. Stokes, returned from the West end of the town, and was informed by a neighbour of the cala mity which had befallen his family during his absence. The poor man's feelings may better be conceived than described, and the interview between the unhappy man and his surviving daughters was too affecting for us to attempt to pourtray. His daughter Eliza beth said, that she was perfectly sensible from the moment the building fell till she was taken out, and she could hear the workmen digging the rubbish away. The workmen continued their laborious em ployment till another voice was heard calling for assistance. Burke and two others went under the ruins to the cud of the cavity which they had pre viously explored, and after removing some bricks, with the assistance of a candle they could see the head and ;boulders of a boy distinctly. lie said that he was able to breathe pretty well, but he com plained of a great pressure of rubbish against his back, and round the lower part of the body. The men were able to• introduce through an aperture a glass of water to him. The boy complained of heat and intense thirst, and had repeated supplies of water : after a great deal of labour, the rubbish was removed from his head and shoulders as far as his waist, and not far front him they discovered the body of his mother, lying between two beams, her head crushed to pieces. After two hours had escaped, and the excavators had given hopes, at least twenty times, of releasing the boy in five minutes, a number of gentlemen consulted whether it would not be the better mode to set a number of men to work to remove the rubbish from the top, and work their way to the boy. One of the men who had been down to the boy, said that if the rubbish was removed over the boy's head, in his opinion part of it would fall in and suffocate hint ;. and he begged for further time to be allowed to hint and his fellow-labourers to en deavour to extricate the boy front below, by cutting away the end of the cavity that led to him. Some tea was conveyed to the unfortunate lad, and the pa tience which he displayed, and the expression of his grateful feelings to the labourers, excited them to greater exertion to save him ; and after three hours' very dangerous employment under many tons' weight of rubbish, which threatened every instant to fall upon and destroy them, they had the satisfaction of releasing the boy and bringing hint out of the ruins. The cheering of the assembled crowds was almost deafening. The lad was injured on the bead and thighs ; but we believe no bone was fractured. He was placed in a coach, and taken away by a medical man and one of the palish officers. He had left his mother and the other children in the front room for about a quarter of a minute, and was going down the kitchen stairs when the house fell. The follow ing is a summary of the whole of the sufferers : Mrs. Hedgley, seriously injured, and in a doubtful state in the Middlesex Hospital. Thomas Neaves dead, at the White Hart public-house. Francis Stokes, an infant, dead,. at the workhouse. Mrs. Stokes, dead, and the body not taker► out of tile ruins. Frederick Stokes, Elizabeth Stokes, and Selina Stokes, at the houses of different friends, all likely to recover. We should add to the above, that the carpenter, who saved his life by throwing himself under the cart, says, that he is sure a gentleman is killed, who ' was passing along the foot-pavement at the time of the accident, and that the body now lies under the rubbish. It is also stated, that a tradesman, residing in the neighbourhood, has not been heard of since the accident, which appears to strengthen the state ' ment of the carpenter. FURTHER PARTICULARS.-(THIS DAY.) On making enquiries this morning, we find that the children preserved from the ruins are better than might have been expected, although suffering from extreme soreness of the chest, in consequence of in haling the lime and rubbish. The aged woman is also as well as possible under the circumstances. The houses adjoining have a most threatening appearance, though carefully shored up by the carpenters. The walls are actually crumbling to pieces, and we under stand the houses now fallen have been condemned by the district surveyor for the last five years. The body of the unfortunate Mrs. Stokes has been found this morning, which was in a most dreadful state of mutilation. The skull and lower part of the body arc crushed nearly flat, and her death must have been instantaneous. The next house was an " accommodation house," or in other words, a brothel, and many of the ladies, who had been sacrificing to some one or other of the heathen deities over night, and had not risen from their beds at the time of the accident, made their escape without the superfluous operation of dressing them selves. One of them was seen scampering over the ruins with four cats in a pail, and a parrot met an untimely end by being injudiciously stowed in the pocket of a constable. The Inquest will be held, this afternoon, on the bodies of Mrs. Stokes, Thomas Neaves, the carman, and the infant of the former. ACCIDENT IN EXETER-STREET.

(FROM OUR OWN CORREVONDENT.) • • •;: t .• • VOILE, TUESDAY' V.V 6 ET:ING, HALE-PAST TWELVE. The first performance in the Minster, this day, has realized, in every respect, the splendid anticipa tions of every one who wishes well to such truly laudable efforts for the diffusion of charity, and the dissemination of liberal ideas. The musical festivals of the ancient Eboracum can not easily be surpassed in magnitude; and for unity of design, facility and convenience to its numerous visitors, in all the corn pl'eated details, we may safely assert that nothing can be more complete. Long ere the hour of com mencement, the Minster contained an audience of nearly six thousand persons ! The ball, upon the previous night, has doubled the amount of receipts of any former festival. The ultimate results, there fore, can not well admit of doubt, viz. the most complete and gratifying success. The opening, (the celebrated " Dettingen Te Deum," by Handel), struck, like electric fire, the astonished auditory : language is totally inadequate to convey a just description of the sublime effect which this magni ficent orchestra produced by their singularly united exertions. F. Cramer, the experienced and highly talented leader, conducted his troops to bloodless, yet honourable victories, successively, as well as successfully achieved, upon this glorious occasion. He was, in truth, a primary planet, around which the lesser, yet numerous orbs, moved with almost divine precision. One mind, one heart, one hand, seemed to inspire this vast orchestra ; which, com bined with the physical capacity of this unrivalled temple, its resonant effects, afforded one of the richest musical treats that has ever been presented to its most fastidious and enthusiatic votaries. A quar tette (as a send-chorus, fire to each vocal part), in a graceful three to four time, on the sub-dominant of the former key, afforded a peaceful and beautiful contrast to the almost appalling effects of the " Te Demo." Vaughan followed in the song of " 0 Liberty," accompanied by Mr. Lindley, that ever green in art. A splendid chorus, " Nos Pulvis," from a Mass of Mozart's, succeeded, affording to the admirers of that inimitable composer a gratification at once novel and sublime. Mrs. W. Knyvett, in the song " 0 magnify the Lord," lost not an iota of the fame she has justly acquired for her chaste expression of a style so well suited to her talent. It is to be regretted that a less grinding transition had not been thought of, from her song in E four sharps, to the following " Kyrce Eleeson" of a charming composer, Righini ; the latter movement consists of a fugue in the key of D, fraught with fine motives, learned contrivance, and an unity of design, which places him in the foremost rank of the numerous composers for the Catholic Church. The German Hymn, by Haydn, the verses of which were given by Madame Catalan', must be considered a complete failure—we say it with sincere regret—yet the truth can not be concealed. There is still the remains of the organ that for so long a time astonished and captivated the multitudes that formed her audience. Her intonation is now painfully imperfect—it was distressingly so upon the occasion in question—and likewise in Luther's Hymn. Harper's unique per formance on the trumpet could not produce the desired effect upon his female coadjutor, Catalani ; she sang the whole hymn most miserably flat. Braharn was unusually successful in " Sound an Alarm," from the Oratorio of "Judas Mascabeus." The ap peal was such as might have made a coward brave; and, if due allowance is rendered for the excess of passion thrown into this splendid vocal effort, it becomes a matter of astonishment that the perfect intonation exhibited by this prince of tenor singers was so strikingly and agreeably perfect. The Chorus of " Fixed in his everlasting Seat" concluded the act—a noble selection, which was executed in almost every particular at once astonishing and gratifying. The first part of the " Creation," commencing at the Chaos, and terminating with the unrivalled Chorus of " The Heavens are telling," formed the materiel for the second Act, and, with one excep tion (and that the singer), never did we hear the divine production executed in a more masterly style. Caradori in " With verdure clad," was perfection. There was an exquisite finish and chaste expression attendant throughout ; and it was not a little grati fying to witness the sensation that this admirable artist created in her audience when she had conclu ded the beautiful Aria. 'Twas in every respect a triumph. How sadly the reverse was the attempt of Mr. E. Taylor in the song allotted to him—" The Dreadful Tempest." Having heard him extolled as an enthusiastic and somewhat clever amateur, we were little prepared, and less pleased to find, that he was an exceeding poor professor, possessing the faults of his new contemporaries, and a paucity of their beauties : his Cadenza was vulgarity personi fied—a " most lame and impotent conclusion." Upon this subject, it must be confessed that our admired Braham is as vulnerable as most; and right heartily did we regret that the sanctity of the place prevented a public expression of disgust at the de testable Cadenza that he was silly enough to intro duce into the beautifully expressive Recitative, which precedes the Grand Chorus of " The Heavens are Telling." It is a gross outrage upon the great composer's definite idea, and merits the most severe reprehension. The effect was wretchedly bad, and marred what in other respects must be esteemed one of this strange compound of good and evil in vocality's most splendid exhibitions. The commencement of the third Act afforded an admirable opportunity of estimating the comparative merits of the musical giants! For the Chorus of " Glory to God," by the immortal Handel, is justly considered a noble specimen of skill, always except ing the puerile movement between the trumpet and horn, during which vain display the voice is made to act as a kind of vehicle to show off the monkey tricks of the aforesaid instruments ; that once got rid of, (and it is matter of wonder it should be permitted to remain) the walls of Jericho are knocked about by musical illustration in a manner that would im mortalize a man had he never penned another line. Another of this great author's best works, " Ye Sons of Israel," Chorus from " Joshua," was a most remarkable feature of this Act: it is replete with the most original and sublime conception, and never can have been more magnificently and accu rately embodied than upon this occasion. The sur prisingly gratifying precision and firmness of the one hundred excellent bass voices at the passage imme diately subsequent to the chord of F major, where they are made to lead off the next subject upon the key of E flat, furnished the lovers of harmony with a treat nothing less than extatic. A very noble Chorus from a Mass of Beethoven's " Gloria in excelsis," rendered the day's selection one of the most liberal and curiously comparative kind. The Directors have evinced in thisL'a•dispo sition that is at once honourable to .theV-144:15 as well as their hearts, and the result ,was.,trrily triumphant. Much- praise is due to Dr.sCami!lge the organist, who presided at this noble . instrument in a manner that commands the sincerest praise, especially if the nature of the mamiels or keys are tfikeainto .eftsideralioir, 'thiy beingconCeYect fo 'no less a distance from the body of the instrument than about 120 feet, thereby rendering the touch or pres sure of exceeding and unprecedented difficulty, not withstanding the extreme mechanical dexterity that has been so beautifully manifested by the constructor of this singular long organ movement, Mr. Ward, a resident of York. Miss Stephens had a song allotted to her, one of somewhat questionable claim to merit, although by Handel. Tyrannous custom has, never- theless, rendered the execution of the air " Let the bright Seraphim," a sine qua non ; it is a trashy, quacking effusion, rendered doubly more so by a vile double cadenza, (out upon them at any time !) which, in the precincts of a Christian Temple, are ought but decent. Such an one is used by Dr. Lenitive and his man Label, in a dramatic enter tainment or farce called " The Prize." There let them remain attached, and no longer insult the ear Of taste with such bald and senseless puppet-show jargon. Away with it, let us repeat, for we can never claim to be esteemed a musical nation, if such• quackery continue to be countenanced. The con cluding Chorus was a lucky and a redeeming point. " The Celestial Concerts" did " unite" most effec tually, and concluded a day's performance that will scarcely find a parallel for excellence in the annals of musical affairs, in this, or even the more music loving communities of Germany and Italy. Miss Paton, in an introduced song, " If guiltless blood," appeared for the first time at these splendid meet ings. The favourable impression that this " Queen of Song" has made here is not of easy description ; her health seems renovated, and she caused an inn . mense sensation at the cohchtsion of the song. Her reception at the Concert this evening has been pre-eminently striking. The unanimous and rapturous encore to her pathetic utterance of the simple and beautiful ballad, " By the banks of Allan Water," was very remarkable indeed, of which we must defer the detail for a succeeding number. The room was well tilled, and the arrangements afforded the utmost pleasure. Caradori and De Begnis were each honoured. by immense applause, the latter with two encores to each of his Buffo songs. The receipts are now expected to exceed the former Festival, viz. 20,000/. Mori led the Concert Band with the .spirit for which he is so highly celebrated, and likewise played an air of Mayerbeer's in a remarkably brilliant and highly polished manner, and it consequently elicited tumultuous marks of approbation.

One of these was Mr. Duguid's, whose coachman had died. rime vessel had no conninmication with the town after the 6th, end was ordered off. Trade, in consequence, was completely at a stand, and no more clean bills of health were expected to be issued. As the rainy season was approaching, which was generaly at tended by some sickness. the alarm had been COII• siderably increased, and the general expectation was that no more business would be done till the end of November, or the beginning of the following month.

YOUNG Duress SAM AND JACK MARTIN.-On Mon day evening preceding the fight between Neal and Nicholls, Dick Curtis and Young Dutch Sam arrived at the training house of the former, at which it will be recollected Martin was also taking his exercise. An inquiry was made by Sam for a well known sporting character, and he and Dick were directed to an adjoining room. Thither they went; but upon entering they found they had obtruded into the room in which Martin was seated. Martin, the moment he recognized the intruder, became indignant, and seizing a glass, was about to throw it at Sam. This, 6wever, be fortunately did not do; but he immediately stripped off his coat, and offered to fight Sam on the spot. During the bustle, in which he was withheld by his friends, the table was overturned, and the candles extinguished. Sam and Dick tben retired, and no further mischief was dune. If Sans was aware that Martin was in the room, we can not but disapprove of his irritating bins by his presence, as he must be aware that, under existing circumstances, his presence was anything but welcome. Martin's in juries arc of too severe a nature to be easily forgotten. ROWING MATCHES. GUEENAVICII REGATT.I.—OIi Mt/tidily last six young watermen belonging to Greenwich rowed for a Coat and Badge and other prizes given by the inhabitants of the town and its vicinity. The competitors rowed five heats, when James Giles (pink) was declared the winner. On Tuesday evening an aquatic piece was performed at the Theatre at Greenwich, in which the six young watermen were introduced, and prizes presented to them. Cusrom-nousE REGATTA.-Yesterday the Fourth An nual Prize Wherry, and other prizes given by subscription, were contested for in four heats, by six watermen belonging to the Custom-house Lower stairs. The Royal Sovereign and several other steam-vessels lyirrg off the stairs, were densely crowded with respectable company, and the river presented a vast assemblage of spectators. The boat, valued at 2G!. was, after a severe contest, won by William Buck master (pink), Win. Watts (scarlet) being second man. TATTERSALL's nulls DA Y SUN OFFICE, SIX &CLOCK.

SPIRIT OF MR LONDON JOURNALS, - city- letter- intiny 'interesting- en cumstances relative to the fall of Madeira. It appears that there was literally no fighting at all, but that previous to the landing and advance of a detachment of Cagadores, not exceeding `.50 men, a convenient panic had seized the party which assumed and eventually disgraced the name of " Constitutional," ..vho fled from the contest with great alacrity, leaving their com manding officer to take care of himself, and the island to the mercy of the enemy. The knowledge of Lord Aberdeen's recognition of a blockade which every other Power indignantly rejected, had doubtless reached them ; and the spirit of Madeira, like that of Oporto, underwent an in curable paraly s i s . This conies of ignorance and imbecility, operatin g upon despotic sympathies and evil disposition s . There is no shutting one's eyes to the fact, that whatever favour the British Government, since the accession of the Dul:e Wellington and his civil Aide-de-Camp, Lotd Aberdeen, to office, may have sought (and mayhap they have not jinend much favutir) with foreign Courts, both the Government and the country have lost severely in reputation with the people of civilized Europe, and of America. England is no longer the rally ing point for broken spirits-the resting-place. for scattered hopes—the guide to wandering though uptight counsels. If an example were at this late period wanting of risk awaiting any man who has in one important held of action achieved a brilliant character, from the . transfer of his efforts, late in life, to a depart ment of public affairs in which he has noto riously not the slightest experience,—to which he brings, by his own recorded confi:,sssion of little more than a twelvemonth's standing, no degree or kind of capability whatsoe'ier,-14e think we could point out the instance with precision which all mankind would admit What has been meant to pass for snug and close discretion in the administration of English po licy during the year 1828, would turn ont, wr. fear, if judiciously scrutinized, to be nothing better than pure want of plan,—tham pasbjvc waiting for the word of command from conii gencies, which contingencies it is left in the' power of other Governments to produce and controul at pleasure : a system this, or absents of system, which gives to foreign states, at second-hand, the faculty of dictating on various international questions of great importance what course Great Britain shall pursue. The want of self-dependence in this Govennnent has been felt in more ways than one. We du nut Huy. refer to the Portuguese subject, with regard to which it way be said with truth that the solid iuteresfr, as well as honour, of tw,• Allied Kingdoms have been sacrificed for a pedantic adherence to the • letter of law, the spirit of which, to any MinhAf,, capable of comprehending it, would have suggested a far different reading: In our rel.- dons with France what has happened ? Minister ought to have known his own mind . but did he ? A sagacious statesman would not have resisted, when lie knew that he must ulti- mately bend. • He would not in the first instance have gone to the verge, of a quarrel with a neigh bowing state, and even subjected himself to the indignity of a . sharp " ultimatum," exacting from him .an immediate consent to the very war like measures which he had long been deine cating.i.md thwarting, unless he had resolved to go manfully through, and set the " u lti ma t um " at defiance. So with regard to Russia, our lan guage should have been either that of frank ac quiescence, or peremptory resistance, when the invasion of Turkey, precipitated beyond all doubt by the last change of the British Ministry, was the hinge of diplomatic altercation. Nor is it only in foreign affairs that we remark the total want of premeditative spirit. Look to Ireland, and her fierce distractions, now ripened to the very bursting point of a civil and most sanguinary war. Either there must be a design in the Ca binet to interfere by policy and re s t ore p eace t o that nation, or not to interfere until the sword shall have been drawn, in which case it will be physically impossible to interpose otherwise than as an ally of one of the belligerents, and thus to become a party to . the civil conflict, which it is the tendency of such a scheme directly to encourage and exasperate. Whichever of the above courses has been resolved upon by his Majesty's Prime Minister, we state broadly that it ought to be, if not announced in form, at least communi cated through a respectable . channel, and in a manner so unequivocal as to be acted upon with confidence by the people of Ireland, • who will thereby know what they have to look fora If the anti . organs.
