SHOCKING ACCIDEAT.

Between the hours of one and two o'clock yester-

day looming, the neighbourhood of St. George's,
Wapping, was alarmed by, a dreadful crash, like the
rolling of thnnder, when it was iinmediately disco-
vered that a stack of chimnies, in the centre of two

very old houses in Backlane, near the extremity of
Rosemary-lane, had fallen in, carrying along with
it r",-,e houQes them,selve.-4, down to the ground floor,

and overwhelming the unfortunate in-habitants in
One common ruin. Every assistance was instantly'.

procured, but not less than fifteen persons, male
and female, suffered more or less. The proprietors
were two elderly women, of the names of Balfour
and Mathers, who had let out those houses in vari
ous tenements to poor tradesmen, and to a great
number of women of the town, of the very loweSt
class; so that, between the inhabitants and visitors,
\it is suppos6d there were-not less than .50 or 6o per-
, sons within the walls at the time. One woman was
dug out,of the rubbish, quite dead ; another so much
bruised, she has since died. A Lascar, who was in
the second floor with his female companion, leaped
out ofthe window and- fraetured both hiS legs ; he,
with two women, were carried on biers to the Lon-
. don Hospital..
A Gentleman, said to' be a respeaable 'trades-
man, in the lylinories, made, his escape.with many'
. bruises, and only half his clothes. There were a
number of Lascars, and other foreign sailors, in the
many of wbotu, it is supposed, still lie co-
. vered in the ruins. Workmen were employed the
, whole day clearing away the rubbish.---At eight
o'clock, when they left-off work, they bad not uet
with any other persons; but it is certain that se-
veral are buried in the ruins.--The houses at either
side were.slightly propped op last night, and though
in the most friglittill condition, many unfortunate

persons were not deterred from lodging in them.
lii-the early part of yesterday, the St. John's and St..
, Gelrge's Volunteers attended, and were.of infinite
service in preventing depredations and further acci-
dents. The houses in that neighbourhood are in a
dreadful state of decay, and it great attention is not
paid to the repair, by the proper officers, we may
exped to hear of many other, and perhaps more se-
rious accidents, that part of London being so thickly
inhabited.
