The late Duke of BEDFORD'S body was opened on
Wednesday, when the viscera were found in a pu-
trescent state, precisely as the surgeon expeded.
The disorder with which the Duke was afllided
originated in a strain, while he was at schobl.

A melancholy accident happened last night in a
street called Perkins's Rents, Westminster. A
large old house, inhabited by a number of poor
families, suddenly fell in, about half past ten o'clock,
with a horrible crash, which, at that still hour, was
heard at a great distance. The unfortunate beings
.who were thus buried alive, it appeared had retired
to rest, among whom were many children. The
people that assembled, direaed by their cries and
groans; immediately set about removing the rub-
bish, and extricating the sufferers, so that by day-
light it was thought that all, or nearly so, were
dug out of the ruins : some miserably wounded,.
and some dead. Among the dead is the wife of a
soldier in the Guards, lately returned from- Egypt,
of the name of Legget : he crept out of the ruins
himself, and his wife was following him, when a
beam shifted its position, fell across her neck, and
killed her. In the search, her husband was the
first that discovered her. An old man and a child
were also taken out dead. At nine o'clock this
morning it was•not ascertained whether there were
any more in the ruins, but it seemed the general opi-
nion that two or three were then missing. The
wounded were carried to-'the Westminster Infir-
mary. It is conjedured thig'disaster was occasioned
by some improVerhentsthe,ta' ndlord of the house
was making in the lower part, and that the sup.
ports were damaged.. It is much to be regretted
that the Laws are not stridly enforced, that make
the attendance of the Distrk Surveyor necessary in
all cases of alteration or repair ; or to cause. such
houses to be demolished, as appear from age or
otherwise to to be untenantable.
