—On Satul'dal.f
about noon, several men were employed upon some mot.
folding erected in front of a house in Sellington-street~
Vauxhall-road. It appears that a cornice, which lies
just been fixed near the summit of the building, sudden!
gave way and :fell upon the scaffolding and worklnZ
The former was in consequence brokoa away, and
unfortunate men with it were precipitated to the grail= Several persons who witnessed the occurrence ran to
assistance of those beneath the fallen mass, and five iN
dividuals were, in a short time, removed therefrom, 0
appearance dead or dying. The first was a female

conveyed to a surgeon's it was discovered that she
escaped with only present deprivation of consciouspen
and a few slight bruises by some of the materials felLil upon her as she was passing underneath. She was
short time enabled to proceed to her own residence,_fj
the unfortunate men, named George Goodman,
forty; George Goodman, jun. (son of the forre.er),
seventeen; Thomas Goble, aged thirty-four; rAnd Baker, aged forty, were so much injured that no

weight.
