FALL OF A RAILWAY VIADUCT.

SHOCKING LOSS OF LIFE.

At 25 minutes past eight o'clock last night 14
arches of a viaduct in course of construction near Etilcheeter-
road, on the Hammersmith and City Extension Railway,
fell with a crash that alarmed the neighbourhood. At
this point the railway, which is not yet com-
pleted, is carried along on a number of arches.
From statements made by the persons who were
:siding to clear away the rubbish it appeared that the wet
leather had injuriously affected them, and that the autho-
Wes of the line bail given instructions that they should be
hared up and otherwise made secure. A number of work-
sconlingly commenced the shoring after 8 o'clock.
Tail had scarcely begun the necessary operations when 14
oche, gave way and five men were buried in the ruins. A
slather of labourers were at once procured, and they set
to work to get out the bodice of the men who bad fallen
victims to this calamity.

LATEST PARTICULARS.—ITHIS DAY.)
Al won so the bodice of the men who had been crushed
to death in the ruins of the fallen arches had been extri-
cated they were carried to St. Mary's Hospital. So far u
me yet be learned the number of men killed is five.
one who had been injured was taken to the
hospital. Of the five mea killed the names of only three
are known to the authorities of the hospital. They are
Alfred Beevey, 93, Portland-road, ; W. Ogden,
labourer, 69, Carlisle-street, Edgware-road ; and Richard
Cedown, 33, William-street, Princess-street, Notting-hill.
A younger brother of Ogden's escaped in a manner which
vas described as almost miraculous. The following men
ales escaped narrowly, viz., Thomas Chatterley, 4, Swan-
reenbe-villas, Latimer-road ; Robert Kimmina, 12, Guild-
ford•stroet, Latimer-road ; and John Read, of Elizabeth-
ierram,Clarendoo -rued. The contractor for the works on which
the catastrophe happened is stated to be Mr. Rummings, 3,
Itieenequare, Westminster. Ogden was a married man, but
has not left any family.

4in visiting the scene of the accident between twelve and
see this afternoon, a hand of labourers were seen turning
over the ruins to get out the body or bodies which
hoe tot been found. The work of search bad
hens continued all night by twenty or thirty
ben It was stated that one man was known
lot ■ certainty to be entombed, and as two or
three others were missing, it was feared they had also
rot their deaths. From all that could be gathered
it appeared that scarcely any person had been wounded.
Several men sustained bruises, but no serious case of
injury was reported. The alternative appeared either to
hare been death or deliverance. The cause of the catastmphe

posed is soft, and the abutments had, it was said, given

until the ntlicial investigation takes place it would be pro-
testor,: to hazard any opinion as to who is to blame for the
occurrence of this sad calamity.

THE G TRADE AND THE AMERICAN WAR.
Venetday considerable excitement was caused in Bir-
' iNtham by a report that the steamers leaving Liverpool
this verb for America bed declined to take out the an-
memos packages of small arms, which. for some months,
114 formed no inconsiderable pert of their cargoes.
nr Whether the report had its origin in the caution of brokers,
the apprehension of the owners of the steamers, excited
le loth cases by the numerous Southern cruisers that ere raring about in search of Northern property, we have not
left able to ascertain, but there seems no reason to doubt
that 'check has been given to the shipment of these arti-
cles. The completion of the contracts on the let of Novena-
leer has Olio greatly affected:the activity of the trade.—
