FALL OF THE BRIGHTON ANTI-A UM...—.
BRIGHTON, SEPT. 1.-This stupendous structure has
shared the fate of the Brunswick Theatre, but happily the
destruction of it has not been attended with less of life.
It fell on Friday evening with a tremendous crash, and the
noise it made resembled the distant rumbling of thunder.
This immense edifice was commenced about twelve
months since, under the superintendence of an eminent
botanist, Mr. Phillips, of this town, whose knowledge
of horticulr ure is very extensive. The building
was composed of iron, weighing between four
and five hundred tons, and it formed the largest
dome ever constructed, exceeding in size that of St. Peter's
in Rome by upwards of 8,000 superficial feet. The gl..st-
int, which was to have been commenced on Monday,
would have taken a long time to complete, requirin4 nearly
two acres of glass to cover the dome. The plinting had
been commenced some time, the choicest plants had been
collected, and a great many eminent persons were contri-
butors, including the Duke of Devonshire. The
work had progressed rapidly, and the building pro-
mised to stand a monument of architectural beauty.
A great portion of the scaffolding had been re-
moved, and on Friday afternoon the who'e of it
was taken down, and everything appeared firm. In an
hour or two afterwards, however a portion of the iron
work was heard to crack, and the workmen, having
timely notice of the same, removed from the premises.
The cracking continued for some time, and then fears
were entertained fir its safety. The principal gardener
had scarcely left the interior when it came tumbling down
with an awful crash; immense ribs of iron snapping
asunder in ten thousand pieces ; and a great part of it,
from the height it fell, was hurried several feet deep in
the earth. The destruction of this great edifice is ac-
.ted for only by the immense weight of iron at top,
when unsupported by the scaffolding, folded in,
and forced its way to the ground. The ruins were visited
yesterday by several hundred persons. It was situated at
the Western extremity of the town, and would have
formed one of the most splendid ornaments in the world.
We have not heard the estimated damage, but it is cer-
tain that it could not be rebuilt under several thousand
pounds. The principal loser is, we understand, a gentle-
man named Goldsinid ; and one of our builders, it is
supposed, cannot have lost far short of five hundred pounds.

DISTRESSING CASE.—An inquest was held
yesterday evening, at the Anchor, in Upper Thames-
street, before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, touching the
death of a laundress, named Lucy Turner, formerly living
in Poppin's-court, Fleet-street, aged 40. It appeared
that the unfortunate woman went on Saturday evening to
deliver some things she had been mangling to the house of
a Mr. Devine, Nu. 233, Upper Thames.street, where she
fell with a heavy basket over two steep steps into the
passage of the house, and where she was shortly after found
in a dying state. Mr. Houghton, of Earl-street, a mr-
geon, deposed that death took place almost instantly, in
consequence of her having completely dislocated her neck.
Eliza Long said she lodged in the house, and, on running
to the deceased's assistance, she found her head against
the wall, with her neck nearly doubled. Coroner—Can
you account for the filling in any way? Witness—My
opinion is that she fell from weakness. I know that on
that day she had had only 31Ibs. of potatoes amongst
herself and her six children ! She formerly lived in the
house, and must have known the two steps. She told
me that on that day she had eaten only one potatres
Probably (said witness) she might have been attacked with
a fit. She had not eaten any meat, neither had her chil-
dren, for some days before. By a Juror—She was a
widow. Verdict—" Accidental death."
