This morning, at 10 o'clock, a most Dreadful Ac• cident happened at the Savoy, in the Strand, which , it will be recollected, is being removed to fort/veld the improvements in the neighbourhood of Water loo Bridge. At an early hour this morniHg per sons were employed in removing an old wall ; amongst the number a person named SMITH, a carpenter ; a labourer, named WILLIAM', and a soldier, his name unknnivn ; and it is stipposed a woman was *len there, besides Mr. WINDEMUDB, with a borne and cart, his -own property, and which was driven there for the purpose of remov ing the rithhi , h of the wall. At this moment part of the wall fell, the stones of which are very heavy, and, horrid to relate, crushed the unfor- tonate persons to death, together with the horse. Assistance was immedia►►ely rer,dered, and three of the victims have already been taken out of the ruins, mangled in a gate too shocking to describe, and quite dead. The accident is supposed to have been occasioned by the wall hay ing been too much dug under,, which did not leave stifiicient strength to bear the s►.akirsg occasioned' by the motion of the ear's anti vial - mons employed in tt►nving the old building materials. Men are employed digging for the horse, and to discover if any more persons should have unfortunately been on the spot at the time of the fatal accident. [:ANOTHER -71.ccOUN Thia morning, at 20 minntei - bEfore 10 o'clock, whiht the workmen employed to pall down the walls of the Old Savoy Prison, which are of gieat thickness, were at their labour, one of the walls fell with a tremendous crash, burying tinder its r►►ins three en, n and a horse end cart. The owner of the cart, Mr. WINDEMUDR, we% stand ing by bit Ipirse, and perceiving the danger, call ed to the o►her men, but too late ; he- grasped hia horse in order to draw off, when, in an instant, they were ail burial in the ruins. The horse and cart were so enmpletely cover ed, as scarcely to be seen. Oue man, named SMITPI, was got out ; his head was dreadfully crushed, and be was quite dead. We understand he has left a wife and four children. Another man, named STRVEN3, was also dug out, entailed dreadfully. The men then began digging for the shove-nanied Mr. Faso. WzNneseuDa, of the Horse-ferry-road, Westminster, who, when dis covered, presented an awful spectacle his wife was standing by all the time ; nor could she be persuaded to go away: her screams were truly distressing when he -V 7 / 1 9 taken up. We usi &wand that the Foreman cautioned the un fortunate men from undermining the wan, es they were then th , ing, but it seems he could n or persuade them to desist in time. The Foreman fainted when be perceived the dreadful ca►astrophe. A Coroner's Inquest will be summoned, when further particulars will be known. The bodies of the three unfortunate men were removed to the river side, and covered over to conceal 'them from the immense crowd of spettatotrs.

Exact;'now —This morning the awful sentence of the I+W was carried into effect, at the 1111181 place io the Old Bailey, on the following unfor tunate criminals :—Tfilliant Connor, for robbing bis matter, Mr. Jones. of Sloane -street, of a con siderahle quantity of plate. William Firth, for a like offence in the house of Mr. Greig, with whom be had formerly lived as servant, and whose of fence was peculiarly marked with atrocity and ingratitude. Edward Voss and Daniel Keaton, for littering forged 51. Bank of England notes. At a few minutes before eight, Connor, who w.4s a Catholic, ascended the scaffold, accomnanied by Mr Devaattux, a Catholic Clergyman. sad con ducted himself with great firmness. Firth next came up, and appeared qui e resigned to hie fate. Voss and Keaton were next on the platform, and remained a short time in prayer, when the drop tell, and they were dead in an instant. The youthful appearance of Keaton, he not being more than 16 years old, excited a great sensation amongst the crowd, which was at great as any that ever attended on such occasions. Connor and Fit th had borne good characters, butt the high turpitude of the offence of rnbbiug employers, has precluded the prnhahilitv of extending mercy to thole convicted. Peter H tuner, a matt of co lour, for horse-stealing, and Tnoma-t Bramsgrov e , for cattle-stealing, who were ordered for execs'. tion at the same time, were at a late boor respited during pleasure.

PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. Soon after the decease of Mr. Wscr, a Deputation from the Council of the ROYAL ACADEMY waited ' on his Sons and the Executors, to apprise them of the intention of that Body to t►onour the Remains of their late President, by attending Ilium to his grave, according to the ceremonial adopted on the public interment of the late Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS, in St. Paul's Cathedral. It being the general opinion thti't similar honours ought to be paid to the late venerable President, his Sons and Execu tors acceded to this wish, and ac►ive preparations have been adopted to carry the arrangement into effect. As the schools of the Royal Academy were closed, and all its functions suspended by the death of the late President, it was of material im portance on this account; and with the view to the usual preparatory arrangements for the Attnitel Exhibition, that the Funeral should not he delayed, and therefore as early a day as practicable was fixed for the public Interment in St. Paul's Ca.: liedral.. The obvious consequence, however, has been, that, owing to the ,absence from town at this pai•ticalr;r season s of so many, Noblemen and Gentlemen of the highest rank, and the inifispo sition.of seven' others, many of the warm adrui. rers and friends of this celebrated Artist and amia -ble mati;:ititto had, during lilt long life, honoured him with their friendship, and who have been partienlariy desirous of paying their last tribute of respect to his remains, have been precluded from at►ending the funeral. To enytnerate those who have on this melancholy occasion been thus pre cluded, and who have in consequence expressed their regret and condolence in the warmest terms of respect and esteem for the deceased, would comprise the highest in rank and s'ation in this country. Fur who, in short, did not feel a re spect for the late Mr. WEST If his superior ex cellence in his profession commanded admira tion, his mild, unassuming, and gentlemanly man ners, and his affability and pleasing conversation produced as warm an esteem. But we proceed from the character of the deceased, which will exist tor ever in his great works, to offer such a brief sketch of the principal occurrences which at tended this public testimony to his departed worth as we were enabled to obtain, before we put our Paper to press. Tt►e corpse was privately brought to the Royal Academy yesterday evening, attended by the sons and grandso►'n of the deceased, and two intimate friends Mr. HENDERSON,' (one of the Trustees and Esec:)tors of the deceased.) and Mr. HAyes, (tor many yen's bis Medical Attendant,) and was re ceived by the Ctiuncil and Officers of the Royal Academy and mourning attendants with every mark of respect ; the body was deposited in the smaller Exhibition-Room, on tl►e groom; floor, which was bung on the oc casion with black and ornau►en'ed with escut cheons, chandeliers, &c. in a style of !liftable so lemnity. About halt-past ten this morning, the Aeademiciaos, Associates, and Students, assem hied in the Great Exhibition Room ; and the No ry, and the private friends of the deceased tools after arrived and joined the mournful band. At:the titiit this Paper was preparing, the whole" Of the arrangements bad been effected, and the procession was moving from Somerset House to I St. Paul'.• Cathedral, in solemn order. We purpose to give our Readers to•morrow a f.:9 statemeot of the procession, end of the mourn ful ceremonial in Sr. Paul's Cathedral, with an ac count? of the PAII-bearers, and the other mourners. And vve bope to obtain a cnrrecr list of the car riages of the Noblemen and Gentlemen attending the Procession, which were arranged in order by the City Marshal. The whole formed a very so lemn and imposing procession, the mounting coaches and carriages exceeding one hundred. REGISTER OF FASHION. FASHIONABLE PARTIES.

The parties n ere Lieutenant S--, of the 27th Regiment, and Lieutenant D—wt—g, of the Navy. The case was reported by the former to the Commander of the garrison, with a request that he might be tried by a Court-Martial, he conceiving that his conduct had been perfectly correct.

S. Martin hit his adversary a left-handed stomacher, Randal, which produced an involuntary grunt; and Cabbage, when close enough inithrew his blows away, and in a hugginK match Cabbage was thrown; and as it was seen he was but of lath. use, betting was reduced .o ti to 4 upon him. Martin missed his left-harried blow, but gave Cabbage a rattier with the right on the chest. The round ended with a hugging match again at the lopes, and both were down. Of the la rounds fought, it will he only necesga. y to par ticularise those ir► which changes took place; Martin had all the hittiog his own way, and changed the odd* in 11 , s favour in the 7th round, Cabbage having horn hit welt left and right, and one of his peeper: queered; but betting was very fiat: as it was doubly hazardous to back Martin's condition, and his adversary was a known game one. 16.
