FATAL OCCURRENCE AT BROMPTON.:—OR Friday
morning the workmen were engaged in propping up the
houses adjacent to those which had fallen on the preced-
ing dtav, as &tailed in our columns yesterday ; and they
subsequently proffe led to remove the rtihhish in search
of the bo.iy of tit, unfortunate man Kasey. who had
perished by he e ~,dent. After Pearly an hour's exer
tion the object of- their search was discovered in a fright-
fully mutilated etto,lHon, and when extricated, was
conveyed to the lioo and Toy, in the immediate vicinity.
The death of the poor man must have been instan-
taneous, it being calculated that upwards of half a ton
of bricks rested on the body at the time of the discovery.
The adjoining houses are now so supported that no
.urt)•er (larger is anticipated.

from' the fact 'that' the 'extensive iMprovements which
have been in progress in the harbour during the past three
athmiser
yearlhaie just' been'ibro'l4iht to a close. The opportu-
nity of the noble and gallant Lord Warden's visit was
chosen by the Commissioners to open, for the first time,
a very beautifully constructed swine- bridge, which has
been thrown across a portion of the newly-constructed
.dock, for the purpose of affording a communication be-
tween the Esplanade, or Marine Parade, and the bodyof
the town. • This intention, on the part of the' Commis-
sioners, having become.very generally known, the har-
bour and its :.vicinity presented an unusual scene of
activity this morning, and long before the arrival of the
Duke of Wellington, the Parade; in front of the Harbour-
house, formed a nucleus for the assemblage of a great
many of the leading inhabitants of Dover. •
At half-past eleven o'clock the noble and illustrious
Duke's carriage wasUbserved descending the Castle-hill
from the Walmer-road. His Grace topk the left-hand
road after passing the castle, and, proceeding along the
back of Waterloo-crescent, arrived on-the south side of
the new bridge at 25 minutes past twelve o'clock.
Sir Brook W. Bridges, Bart., Mr. W..Deedes, M.P.,
Mr. J. P. •Plumptre, M.P., Mr. R. H. Jenkinson, Mr.
W. 0. Hammond, the Mayor of Dover (Mr. W. Cock),
and other of the Commissioners, attended by Mr. James
Walker, civil engineer,- and Mr. P. Hardwick, architect
to the board, were here in attendance to receive the
Noble and Gallant Duke, who,. on reaching the bridge,
ordered his carriage to stop, and entered into conversa-
tion yvith the-Commissionets for some moments. Mr.
Walker invited the Duke to alight and walk over the
bridge, but his Grace preferred crcsSing in his carriage.
The word paving, been given, the coachman gave his
hois;s the ' rein, and as tbeii; feet touched . the iron
roadway a sslute from the' battery on the heights
-.greeted the Lord Warden's progress over the newly-
made channel. At the same moment the spy-ctators,
who at this time had congregated in large numbers near
the spot, welcomed his Grace with loud cheers, which
continued at intervals throughout his progress to the
Harbour-house, where he was received by a guard of
honour of the 43d Light Infantry, under the command
of Captain Coote.
On alighting his Grace was joined by the following
members of the Court of Assistants:—Sir Brook W.
Bridges, Bart., Mr. T. Deedes, M.P., air. J. P. Plump-
tre, Mr. R. H. Jenkinson, Lieutenant-Governor of
Dover Castle, tthe Mayor of Dover, Mr. W. 0. Ham-
mond, and Mr. Thomas Papillon.
Mr. James Walker, e ho holds the office of engineer to
the commission, Mr. Hardwick, the architect to the
board, and Mr. G. W. Ledger, the secretary, were in
attendance.
After the transaction of the formal business before the
Commission, the following new members of the Court of
Assistants were appointed :—Captain D'Aeth, R.N. (of
Knowlton). in the room of the Earl of Guildford, re-
igned and Sir Edward Cholmeley Dering, in the room
of Mr. F. K. E. Morris, of Betsaneer.
In the course of the morning a deputation, consisting
of several of the leading municipal authorities, waited on
the Court of Assistants, for the purpose of presenting a
memorial on the subject of a further improvement of the
harbour. The memorial, having been handed into the
Court, was read by Mr. Hardwick, the deputation mean-
while remaining in an ante-room.
The following is a copy of the document :
" To the Hon. the Warden and Assistants of Dover
harbour,
" The memorial of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Bur-
gesses of the borough of Dover, in council assembled,—
" Showeth,—That your memorialists view with con-
siderable anxiety and alarm the rapid improvements
made and making at the neighbouring ports of Ramsgate
and Folkestone for affordin4 facilities for the embarka-
tion and disembarkation of passengers at all times of tide.
" That the staple trade of this important town has
from time immemorial been the conveyance of the
mails and passengers to and from the Continent, and
has until lately been productive of great benefit to its in-
habitants.
" That its proximity to the Continent gives it advan-
tages superior to any port in the channel, but which
appear to your memorialists to be rapidly passing away
from it in consequence of the improvements of the ports
before alluded to.
" That it appears to your memorialists the only means
left for the restoration of the passage to and from Dover,
are the adoption of measures for rendering its harbour
at all times accessible to steam-vessels, and as the only
power to effect this appears to your memorialists to be
vested in your Hon. Board, they most earnestly implore
your Honourable Board to immediately adopt such im-
provements, alterations, or additions to the present
works, either by the extension of the south pier, or
otherwise, as shall seem most suitable to the wants of
the passengers' traffic, and the uninterrupted expedition
of the public mails ; and your memorialists venture to
sugge.t to your Honourable Board, that such improve-
ments would not only conduce to the prosperity of the
port in times of peace, and to the security and increase
of the revenues of the harbour, but be of most essential
service in the event of war.

" Given under our common seal, this Bth day of No-
vember, 1846.

"LEDGER, Town clerk."
The Lord Warden and Assistants having duly con-
sidered the memorial, invited the deputation to an
audience, when the following reply was read by the
secretary : _ _ _ _ _ _ _

" The hoard having read the memorial of the corpo-
ration of Dover, on the importance of a low-water com-
munication from this part for the c( nveyance of

passengers and her Msjes'ty's mails by means of the ex-
tension of tho harbour works, or the erection of a low-
water pier in the bay, and having heard the statements
of a deputation from the corporation thereon, the board
inform the deputation that the means of this commission
do not enable them to continue the works requisite for

he above purpose ; but the board fully agree- that the
tatement in the memorial as to the importance of a low-
water pier for the interests ot Dover, and the value of
the property of the Commissioners in Dover, as well as
for the national objects embraced in the memorial, and
particularly having reference to the relative positions ot
Calais and Dover, and are therefore disposed to give
every facility in their power towards the promotion and
completion of the object."
Mr. BIRMINGHAM (of the Ship Hotel), and other
members of the deputation, on presenting themselves
before the Commis,ion, urged the prayer of the memo-
rial wiih great ability and earnestness, but it is believed
that the reply of the Court to the same was quite as
favourable as was anticipated.
The deputation having retired, the Lord Warden, ac-
companied by the Court of Assiitants, Mr. Walker, Mr.
Hardwick, and various other officials, left the Harbour-
house, for the purpose of inspecting the recently com-
pleted works, a brief sketch of which may be interesting
in this place.
The improvements were commenced in May, 1844.
They Consist chiefly of an extension of the outer harbcur
to the eastward, the additional surface of water thus
obtained covering upwards of four acres. To gain this
space, a vast quantity of houses standing on the Ord-
nance property, and nearly the whole of Union-street
(except Latham's Bank) have been pulled down. The
new dock walls rendered necessary by this extension
are built in a remarkably substantial manner and faced
with granite. On the eastern fide of the new dock there
is a " slip," for the purpose of allowing carts to ap-
proachin that portion of the harbour. A

the removal of the pilot. house further west, and
erection of 'a sea wall from the terminus of the railway
to the harbour ; the latter work having been undenaken
by the directors of the South-Eastern Railway Com-
pany, who are about to. erect a new hotel immediately
adjoining the Pier-head. The whole of the works have
been executed under the direction of Mr. Walker, Mr.
James Cooper being the resident engineer, and Mr.
Bray, of Leeds, the contractor for executing the work.
The Duke of Wellington, on commencing his inspec
tion, first proceeded along the mid-quay overlooking the
new basin. On reaching the swing-bridge, his Grace
minutely examined its construction, and expressed him-
self highly pleased with its general appearance and
utility. While the Noble and Gallant Duke stood on
one portion of the bridge, the other half was swung
round by, as it appiared to an ordinary observer, an
invisible agency. His Grace inquired what was the
power required to set the ponderous mass in motion;
and on being informed by Mr. Walker that one man
only was employed, and that he performed the duty with
great ease, he expressed his unqualified admiration of
the ingenuity the work displayed. Before the Lord
Warden left this portion of the works, it was suggested
by the Mayor of Dover that the inhabitants would
esteem it an honour if the Noble and Gallant Duke
woeld allow the bridge to be named after himself—
" The Wellington Bridge." The suggestion having
been communicated to his Grace by Mr. Hardwick, he
very good-humouredly replied, " Oh, by all means; I
can have no objection, if you will have it so. Let it be
called the Wellington Bridge." The party subsequently
walked over the whole of the new works, visiting, lastly,
the south-western portion of the harbour, where the
railway company's sea wall is in progress of erection.
His Grace inquired by whom this portion of the works
was being carried on; and Mr.. Walker having informed
him that the directors of the South-Eaotern Railway
