ACCIDENT AT THE NEW BRUNSWICK

THEATRE-MANY LIVES LOST.

The uttnost alarm was occasioned this morning, st
about twelve o'clock, in the vicinity of the above Theatre,
by a most dreadful crash, and the inhabitants ran out of
their houses,with all possible despatch, under the apprehen-
sion that a shock of an earthquake had been experienced.
It was soon discovered that the roof of this new Theatre
had fallen in, and the fear became general that the event
must have occasioned great lose of life, as many of the
parties connected with the Theatre, workmen, &c., were
known to be within the walls. It will be recollected that
this. Theatre only opened on Monday last, for the first-time
since its completion, and was considered a well.huilt
edifice. The roof was composed wholly of cast-iron, and
it would appear that the walls were nut sufficiently strong
to bear the immense pressure, and bulged out. The heat
too, which arose on the evenings of performance, it is
imagined, caused the iron to expand, and forced away part
of the brick-work, by which it was surrounded. The
fears entertained that many individuals had perished under
the large mass of iron, have proved too well-founded, it
being at-present calculated that not less-than"loo Lodi.
viduals have been killed. The performers to the. Theatre
were rehearsing at the time, and those, as well as the work-
men, are all under the ruins. In fact, at present, na one
can tell how-many lives have been lost. The front of the
Theatre is nearly level with the ground, and only two per-
sons have as yet been taken out wounded. A- gnard of
soldiers has Just arrived from the Tower, and as soon as
possible search will be made for the unfortunate individuals
who have fallen a sacrifice to the accident. Had it hap-
' pened a little later, the workmen and others would hay!)
left the building. The remainder of the walla left
standing are in a most dangerons condition, and no. one
can approach them until made secure by being propped up.
It is feared that at least 80 or 90 individuals must have
been killed. One of the performers, a female, has just
been taken away wounded.
The performers were rehearsing Guy :144pierin I, at
the time, with an audience of about 50 or 00 persons.—A

Little or no progress has yet been made in clearing away
the ruins, the number of those who have been dug out is
consequently small, Among those who have escaped are
Mr. Percy Farren, Mr. Carruthers, Mr. and Mrs.. 'Dillon,
Mr. Goldsmith, Mr. Wymans, Mr. Farrel", and Mr. Lewis,
The escape of Mr. D. was truly miraculous. On the first
alarm he threw himself out of a window, but had scarcely
