causing considerable alarm in the neighbourhood. The spot
where the accident occurred is to the north of the newly-
erected terminus at Ring's-cross, and adjoins the bridge
passing over the tunnel that is formed under . the-Regent's
Canal. A portion of the' substratum was construatei of

causing the wall to 'separate in several parts, when a large
quantity of the soil was scattered on the ltna. The trariiway
in consequence sank, the effect of is that the trucks are
prevented from running. The cause of the actident is attri-
buted.to the great weight of metal
placed on the ground,
consisting of rails which were intended for the formation of
the line, and which, it is stated, amounted to about. 50 or 60
tons. The accident.will not lead to any great obstruction in

cost some hundreds of pounds, should the tramway-be again
