DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

This momin about 12 o'clock, the inhabitants of
1,17 Road were
estminster thrown into the greatest. con-
lternation by the sudden fall of the large manufactory
'lf Mr. Maudsley, Engineer, by which a number of.
unfortunate people were smothered in the ruins. Up-.
Wards of 20 were dug out from the rubbish, and conv.eyed
to the Pospital in a shockingly' mutilated:condition.,
Two of them died on the way. From sixteen to
twenty individuals are still missing, and- even. ex-
ertion is. making to extricate- them from the ruins.
Several
,children were playing nearing the building
.when it fell, and a man "who calls pies about the streets
15 supposed to be among ' the number in jeopardy..
Thee-feelings Of the poor people in the neiglthourbood
may be better. conceived' than described- in their
ag°rtising suspense. . The roof of this building was
undergoing repair when the accident happened. Part
uf the foundry still stands. A detachment. of soldierfi

THE MONEY-MARKET.

, FROM THE
.TIMES.)
Yesterday was settling day at the Stock Exchange
for the account in Consols, when that stock fell about

per cent., but 'apparently from no other cause than
the state of account, :it being ascertained that a majo-
rity of the time-bargains had been speculations in fa-
vour of a rise, and much stock, consequently, requiring
either to be sold or carried over on continuation till the
opening of :the books on the 18th July, which is the
next .settling day. The price of Consols for that day
;was 78i ; but, as the July dividend is included in it,
the real value of the stock is 77. The Foreign Market
was quite inactive yesterday ; and now that the settle-
ment has taken place in the Consol Market, an almost
total cessation of business in the Fnnds during the pe-
riod of EpsOni races is looked for.
The general scarcity of money seems to have check-
ed that demand which has been observed for a few
days back in the Colonial Market'; but the holders of
good's, under the encouragement which it has given
them, remain. firm in the expectation of better prices.
maintenance, however, even of those at present
quoted, must depend on the arrivals ; and the change
lof wind, it is to be feared, will bring 'in many addi-
tional cargoes.. In, fact, the intelligent merchants make
'no scruple of admitting that a .cessation of importation
for six months in Many articles—such is the excess of
supply 'Over. 'the demand—would scarcely restore the
markets to a healthy state. - . _

We
.
W understand that the revenue accounts have
been made up to the 16th inst., and that they exhibit
a deficiency, as comparCd with the period from the
sth of April to the 16th of May in last year, of about
52,0001. As _a much greater. falling-off had been an-
ticipated,, this is charscterized at the Government
offices as a « favourable return."
