hood of the Italian Opera, under the following appalling and
distressing circumstances :—Several workmen have for the
last few days been engaged in repairing and heatitifving,the
colonnade on the north side Of the Italian Opera, and mime-
diately opposite Messrs. Feuillarde's Hotel: Yesterday Morn-
ing. however, -the scaffolding upon which the men-were at
work suddenly gave way, and they were precipitated with it
on to the pavement beneath. The porters and others from
the hotel inunediatfly rushed to their assistance, and •in a
short time the poor fellows, who were four in number, were
extricated, and each of them was found to bemire or less in-
jured. No time was lost in conveying them to Charing-cress
Hospital, where they were duly and•promptly. attended. •
Cusrmi-House—On Monday, the Bth instant,"the
anrial change of the officers took place ; the landi-rig-
waiters, searcherS, and pagers, who had been on duty during
the past year at the Last and West India' Docks, being Sta-
tioned for the following year at the London arid -St. Ka-
therine Docks, and legal quays; and those officers who had
ben on duty at the latter places, being stationed at the
former. The object of this change is, that by a periodical
alteration of station the officers may not become too familiar
with persons who would entice them to colluse and defraud
the revenue. This annual change is much more extensive
and complete since the discovery of. the late frauds in that
department.

cursion. The last train brought up from Brighton 1,000
persons. We have not heard of any accident having oc-
cuffed on-this railway.
