ACCIDENTS AT NOTTINGHAM.

[Ft ow the A'oltinglaws Beri,wl
The body of the unfertimate titan, who was the cause of
the late di eadiul accident was blown across the canal and
the hauling path into the meadows, over what Is called the

being dreadfully shattered ; the latter has left a wife and five
children in totally destitute circumstances: his rlest son lives
with Mr. Alderman Wilson. Samuel Hall, of Bridgeadreet,
in this town, a stone-mason, was also in the boat at the time,
and saw We powder tired, but the shock did not visit lion so

markable preservation of this man, who is expected to re-

down fur the purpose of removing some stones in the boat,
He now lies in the General Hospital, where he has every as.
sistatice which, that noble institution can furnish him. We
now pass on to the other victims of this heart rending catas-
trophe; and perhaps the first that claims our notice is
Rowell, a boy aged only 11, the son of one of the book-
keepers belonging to the concern, who resided at a house in
the yard. This youth, like the rest of his fellow-stiffen-to,
presented a horrid spectacle; not a feature could be recog-
nized, and their bodies, or rather trunks, were so mangled
that it was only by their cloathes they could be identified.
About 50 yards east of the bnilding, in a direct line from it,
stood Mr. Joint Platt, a respectable wharfinger of this town,
who providentially escaped unhurt ; he was at the moment
calling to three of his men, and petite them directions about
the loading of a cart they were drawing in the yard, one at
the shafts and two pushing behind. Being in a northerly
direction, they fell victims to the blast, and were driven with
the ortmost violence towards the large gates.—Their names
were Joint Seales, a single man, aged A, who lived at what is
called the barracks, in High-cross-street; William Norman,
living at the sante place, aged 60, a widower, with nu family
dependent on hint; and William Stevenson of Steemsou, aged
23, who had represented himself as coining, from Leicester.
The two former were killed on the spot, and the latter was

days in Mr. Pyatt's employ. The next subject of fatal
tinatine whom we shall notice, is William Parker, aged ouly
15, the son of a poor man. living at Carlton, in this neigh-
bourhood. This lad hail an ardent desire to engage himself
in a boat, and on Saturday 'naming last rose at an early hone

Market, and with the produce bought some small artielus of
clothing, which he wanted in order to tit him for Ira intended
