MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.

This morning, about the hour of four o'clock, a most me-
lancholy accident occurred at Charlotte Quay, sear Parlia-
ment-bridge. This Quay, which is forming of hewn stone,
under the orders anti at the expeose of the Belfast Board, to
render it uniform with the others se recently improved, was
proceeding with gnat activity, under the direction of Mr.
Jervis Deane, who hail the contract from the Beard. The
workmen, to take advantage of the tide, were at week at
t►is early hoer. To give facility to their labour two largo
beams are placed wills one cud restiog on the quay, sad the
other end on cross pieces in the river, and on thesis beams a
large machine called a Catamarms is run oot, from whence
the large stone is suspended which is to be placed in its posi-
tion. The masons were below ready to direct the stone, mid
four lab above guiding the saacleue, when just at the
mimeo the swot was within a few feet of its position, one
of the large beams broke on which the machine rested, soil
the whole, men, machine, and stone, were precipitated out
the masons below. The calaniity was dreadful. Three of
the workouts, among *bow woe one Hooper, a season, were
dreadfully injured with various fractures, and five more who
came off wills slight contusions. The wounded men were
taken to the Smith infirmary, and little hope are entertain-
ed of the recovery of Hooper.—(Corp Mercantile Chronicle )
