•JaAMLNTABLF ACllDENT.—Yesterday morning about
tea o'clock. a snost draatiful accident occurred at the house of Mr.
Lark* scoufectioner, Great Britain-street. A girl, aged only 15
rem. of whose disposition and character Mrs. Larkin speaks in
-the highest terms, was left in the are of the premise' after the
&mph's' been chased, Mr. Larkin being et present residin„• in
tetethsta shop of his. nearly opposite Great George's street. The
urifirtunite girl, it 11 supposed, being overcome with deep, lay
Cowmen the bed without unclothing herself, leaving the candle,
incautiously, lighted at her head. In &short time the pillow took
Erre and the fiance was immediately communicated to the sleeping
gin lla clothes. In fins situation she must have remained some
minutes. as, when-she had reached the street, and was seen by the
trillernant, site appeared as one continuous blare of light. A sight,
at once more appriling and deplorable could scarcely be conceived.
The shrieking of the girl, however, brought several persons to her
atsietanee, but the sudden effect of so terrific a scene had deprived
their present of almost all self-peaseasion. The Clothes, however,
were town off the back of the suffering creature in a few minutes,
mid. she was conveyed up stairs to bed. At this period her shrieks
wore most piteous. hut to all outward appearance, there appeared
noindieation of a vial attack. The hair was nearly consumed,
and the antis and. ride appeared to hare suffered cam ickrably. A
voting surgical gentleman who was pausing, was now attracted to
1:16 spot, and haring viewed the unfortunate victim, he pronounced
hoe reran:ere to be next to impossible. She was immediately re.
moven to die Hospital, seed the opinion of the piofestional gentle.
mato was corrohorated by the poor girl's losing all sense of pain
immediately after, and relapsing into an apparently profound
*lumber. On inquiry at the hospital at a late hour, we fled no
hypo are entertained of the girl's recovery. Although every aid
was fesidered, yet we cannot help lenienting that the watchman did
rot enfold the girl in his cloak. Had this been done, in all proba-
bility her life had been saved ; this might have. been accomplished
see at infinitely lees persona! risk than the tearing off her clothes.
