FALLING IN of the EXCAVATION
OF THE NEW GRECIAN CLUB-HOUSE, CITY

SEVERAL MEN BURIED.

This morning at half-past eleven o'clock, while between thirty
and forty men, consisting of carpenters and excavators, were en.
gaged In clearing out the foundation for the New Grecian Club.
house, adjoining Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's Bank, a large
portion of the embankment next the Mansion-house Court gave
way, burying several of the unfortunate men with it. All hands
were immediately called to the spot, and, after great exertions, a
carpenter and two excavators were got out, one of whom was so
much injured that he was immediately taken to the hospital. It
. _

was then discovered that three others were still buried—namely,
a carpenter and two labourers, who were engaged at the bottom in
shoreing up the embankment. The exertions of the men were
still continued with unabated vigour, notwithstanding the very ini-
mineht danger of the situation, from the shorting of the embankment
(which is at that part from twenty to thirty feet) having all fallen
with the earth, added to the very sloppy nature of the soil. At
half-past twelve the unfortunate men had not been recovered, and
not the least hope wasentertained that they could be got out alive.
One of the men who was dug out stated to our informant, that he
had had his fears all the morning as to the safety of the shores.

QUEEN'S. BENCH.-.-(THIS DAY.)
This was the second day of the Sittings in Banco after
term. The Court took the new trial paper, and was occu-
pied the whole morning in hearing arguments in a case re-
lating to a disputed matter of account.

A man, in digging a trench at Pagny-sur-Moselle,
a few days back, struck on an earthen vase (which was un-
fortunately broken), containing 2,400 medals of the 13th and
14th centuries. Some are smaller than the rest, and bear the
figure of a bishop wearing his mitre. On the other side is a
cross, with some characters around. On the larger ones, on
one side is a number of heraldic signs, and on the other a
large cross. On some may be seen the words " Signum Dei
vivi," and on some of the smaller I 0 11, the initials of Jean
d'Apremont, Bishop of Metz. Amongst these pieces were
found 11 struck with the effigy of John Count de Maine,
afterwards King Join. of France, made prisoner at Poictiers ;
six pieces of St. Louis, six of Jean d'Apremont, Bishop o
Metz in 1227 ; and two of Jacques de Lorraine, Bishop o
Metz in 1239.
A young fellow from Magdalen-street, named
George Fox, was convicted of cruelly ill-treating a cat,' in
Childwell-Alley, during Divine service, on the 21st ult.
There were others (not in custody) in company with the
prisoners at the time, who were participators in the brutal
act of baiting a cat with a ferocious dog, and afterwards
swinging it round by its tail, and smashing its head with
their whole force against a tree, merely for pastime. Prisoner
was fined in the fullest penalty, forty shillings, and ex-
penses eight shillings. In default he was committed to the
county house of correction, for fourteen days. The Court
extremely regretted they could not inflict a severer punish-
ment upon such a brute.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
