FURTHER PARTICCLARS.

'We understand that serious apprehensions are enter-
tained that more than one life has been lost, the body of
one of Mr. Ducrow's female servants has been dug out of
the ruins, and another female servant is missing, who is
supposed to have perished in the flames. So sudden was
the invasion of the flames, that Mr. and Mrs. Duerow
had barely time to escape.
The building and furniture, we understand, were in-
wed to the amount of 7,0001. Mr. Ducrow's mental
sufferings are represented as being intense. It is stated
that nearly 200 persons are thrown out of employment
in consequence of the destruction of the Amphitheatre.
Mr. l)ucrow's celebrated horse Mazeppa, which was
valued at upwards of 2,000 guineas, is said to have been
one of the three horsei destroyed.

DREADFUL SUICIDE--In the early part of
Monday afternoon a respectably-dressed man applied to Mr.
Simmons, of Bury-street, one of the Chtuchwardens of the
parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, fur permission to ascend the
tower of the new church, stating that his motive in asking the
favour was to enable him to take a sketch of Westminster
Abbey. Permission was, without hesitation, granted to
him, and he went up the steeple to the summit, with the
man who usually tolls the bell for the funerals ; who having
conducted the stranger to the top, returned below to the
ringing chamber, and commenced tolling the bell. About a
quarter before four o'clock a policeman on duty on side the
churchyard rails observed a person on the top of the tower
apparently preparing to Precipitate himself to the ground, and
a second afterwards he threw himself off, and came down with
terrifiz velocity on the west side of the tower. Several persons
were immediately on the spot, and lifted the unfortunate mall
up, but life was found to be quite extinct. The Acmes all
round were covered with blood. The height of the tower of
Chelsea New Church is nearly 200 feet»

SUDDEN ILLNESS OF LORD JEFFREY.-011
'Saturday c.msiderable alarm was excited in th 3 Parlia-
ment House by the report that this distingtiislaocl Judge
had been suddenly seized with an alarming attack of
illness. It appears that his Lordship, while sitting as
Lord oidinary in the Outer House, lieFirtg a cause,
Celt .an :attack of faintness, and, in atten:ipting
to rise up, fell from his chaii. He was imme-
diately conveyed into the Robing Room; and
the assistance of Ur. Pitcairn was procured, who, admi-
nistered restorathvs, and his Lordship appeared to be
somewhat recovered. He was then assisted into the Lord
l'resident's cart-in:4e, which happened to be in waiting,
and was driven home attended by Lord Ivory and Dr.
Pitcairn. We are glad to understand that the attack is
not of a serious nature.; and that it appears to have arise%
only from a slight derinigement of the stonmeh.—Edin-
