ALARMING ACCIDENT.

GLAsdow.—Monday afternoon, about four
o'clock, an accident occurred at the new build-
ing intended for the Ship Bank, foot of Glassford-
street, which at first had a roost alarming aspect.
Several large openings are made in the ground
immediately before•the building, in order to esta,
blish a communication between it and the common
sewer. In one of these holes were placed Robert
M'Kenzie, mason, and Peter Dunn, labourer;
when, all on a sudden, and without any pre-
vious warning, the wall of earth fell in, and bu-
ried them in its rubbish. Dunn's head, how-
ever, was still above the sand, and he cried
for assistance to be given him and his
perishing companion, no trace of whom could
be discovered. All hands were instantly set to
work, some to the search of M'Kenzie, others
to the relief of Dunn, and some to the removing
further off the rubbish in the immediate vicinity of
the fatal place, in case of another break. It hap•
pened most providentially for APKenzie, that
those who dug for him took, at the very
first, the
right direction ; he heard, in his most dismal con-
finement, the rapid action of the spades making
towards him ; and his deliverers were guided
by his groans to the spot where he lay. But such
was the quantity of earth with which he was
covered, that half-an.hour's digging was required
before they reached him, when they got him
standing upon his feet, benumed with cold, with
his arms raised in a horizontal position, by which
pOsture he had kept a little space clear about
his face, so that he was not immediately suffo-
cated by the sand. A cordial was immediate■
ly administered to him by Doctor Andrew
Macleod, after his mouth was cleansed of the
blood and said with which it was filled, and
he was conducted to the porter's house, ad"
joining the Ship Bank. Dunn was still not ex'
tricated from his disagreeable, though less pe'
rilous situation. And what rendered his suf-
ferings more acute, was a stone which was
pushed down, accidently no doubt, by same
of the crowd, into the hole, which struck
the poor man in his entanglement, right above
the eye, and caused the blood to spring profusely.
He Ji? o, however, was soon got up, and led t°
join his fellow-sufferer, where every attention
was paid them.--(Glasgow courier, Feb. e.)

A gentleman who found a small parcel, Cad
taining 1/. 11s. 6d. at Amen-corner, and a must
affectionate note, subscribed " Ann Hill," and
directed to " Mrs. Netherclift," but without giv'
ing any address, handed it vesterday to the Lord
Mayor, in the hope that some notice would b 0
taken of it.
