Fall of Two Houses and Loss of Life.
(This Day.)

This morning, shortly after seven o'clock, the inhabi-
tants of Ely-court, Holborn-hill, wore thrown into the
utmost consternation by the falling in of the back of two
houses. At the time of the occurrence the houses contained
about 40 persons, and were old and dilapidated. As soon
as the dust had cleared away a most frightful scene pre-
sented itself, and the groans of those beneath the debris was
heartrending. Men were at once set to work, when four
persons wore extricated and carried to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital. One man was found quite dead, and many more
remain under the ruins. The cause of the catastrophe is
unknown.
