ACCIDENT ON TUN TIIAMEB.—This morning, no
accident occurred near the Essex stain-boat pier, at the bot-
tom of Essex street, Strand, which was nearly attended with
gnat bill of life. Daring the last few weeks a great
many men bate been at work on the river driving piles,
and forming an enormous building, for the puroose of
exhibiting the Chinese junk. The erection, which wee
formed almost exclusively of timber, was upwards of 200 feet
long, by shunt GO feat wide. The end nearest Ewe-greet,
r well se the upper and lower tides, were nearly finieished.
Whilst Use men wars proceeding mils their work this
morning, a sudden gust of wind blew the whole
of the lower side of the erection down. The] men who
were under it and upon the ladders were thrown in tier blip
confusion amongst each other, and for some few minutes
were buried under the piles and boards. The Thames police
and a number of watermen instantly put off to render
assistance, and the parties wen all extricated, one man only
b ing so seriously injured as to require surgical aid. Whilst
the men were busily engsgtd collecting together the timbers,
the other side of the building fell. Fortunately, no one on
that occasion received any injury. It is understood that
the placing of the piles at too great a distance from each
other was the math of the accident.
