through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such,
among others, this Essay addresses itself ; and by its perusal many
questions may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even

At this time, nine o'clock, the excitement prevailing in the
neighbourhood of the bridge almost battles description. The
bridge itself was rendered impassable, whilst in Chatham -
place thousands had assembled, hundreds anxiou.ily pushing
forward with inquiring gaze, to ascertain if any of their
friends were missing; whilst women whose children had been
allowed out to see the rowing-match, and had not returned,
were rushing to and fro in the most frantic manner, calling.
loudly for their offspring. Cabs kept continually driving
to the bridge, rumour having made the accident much more
melancholy Ilan it really was, with persons anxious for the
Safety of their relatives, who were to land at that pier from
the steam-boats. Around the Glaziers' Arms, whither the
bodies were taken, an immense crowd assembled; and it re-
quired the assistance of two police-constables to prevent the
mob from rushing into the house ea masse. At twelve
o'clock last night the excitement had not in the least abated.
About half-past nine o'clock, a fourth- body, that of a
young woman, was recovered, and was removed to the,
Glaziers' Arms, when she was identified as residing, up to
the time of the accident, in Jerusalem-court, St. John-street..l
road, and her name was stated to be Eliza Edwards. The
number of persons who were precipitated into the river was
about forty, of these only twelve were taken out by means of
the drags, eight were restored, and four were dead when
brought ashore. How many were rescued by the boats it
is impossible to state ; but it is the opinion of the men WU-
ployed in dragging that a great number of toadies are still
in the river, having floated under the coal barges lying near
the pier, and beyond the reach of the drags.
Up to twelve o'clock last night, the drags were still
being used, and Commissioner Harvey gave orders that a
fresh body of police should be sent to the bridge, to render
assistance. The most active measures have been resorted to
to find other bodies.

The cause of the accident, and whether any one is to blame,
will be fully inquired into, not only by the Coroner, but by
the Lord Mayor, information having been sent to his Lord-
ship of the occurrence.

TWELVE O'CLocK.—The number of 'people on the bridge
has in no way decreased, nor the excitement in the neigh-
bourhood. The police still continue their exertions in
trying to find more bodies, and the scene altogether presents
one of an awful but singular character. The red glare of
the torches, added to the splashing of the drags as they
were thrown into the water, together with the stillness, ex-
cept now and then, which reigns, has a strange effect.
About eleven o'clock the four bodies were removed from
the Glaziers' Arms to the dead-house of St. Ann's, Black-
friars, in Ireland. yard, followed by an immense multitude,
who appeared to feel deeply the cause which had hurried so
many to an early grave. Mr. l3readcot carried on the buci
'less of a cheesemonger, in Newgate-market, and with his
wife and children, was waiting for a steam• boat when the ac-
cident happened. The other female had landed but a few
minutes from a steamer.

At midnight the tide was so low that the police were able
to make a search among the coal barges for others, but np
to that hour their search was fruitless. The opinion, how-
ever, is, that there are many parsons still missing, and that
the coal barges are still resting upon them.
The pier extends nearly 100 feet into the river, being formed
of old craft, covered with deal planks, a kind of gangway
uniting one barge with the other, Upon this gangway a
number of persons, despite the efforts of the men employed
at the pier, collected, and it is supposed the wood being
rotten, and not of sufficient strength to bear such a weight,
gave way, and caused the loss of life above detailed.

(LATEST PARTICULARS.)
ONE O'CLOCK.-11p to this hour no other bodies have been
recovered, and the tide is running down so fast, and the
water so low, that the men have ceased dragging, and will
not renew their exertions until between three and four
o'clock this afternoon. The four bodies found yesterday,
together with that of Amelia Mundy, aged twelve years, the
daughter of the landlord of the Lamb and Lark, Printing-
house-square, which was picked up this morning, remain at
the dead-house in Ireland yard ; and Mr. Payne, the coroner,
has issued his warrant to the ward beadle to summon a jury
at the Glaziers' Arms, at four o'clock this afternoon, when a
searching inquiry into all the circumstances attending this
lamentable affair will be commenced.
From the best intelligence, this moment collected-from the
surgeons who were so actively engaged in attempting to re •
suscitate the unfortunate victims, it appears that there is
reason to fear that not less than from nineteen to twenty
bodies still remain under water. In the confusion that pre•
veiled the numbers stated to have been immersed necessarily
greatly varies, but upon the most correct computation it
would seem that thirty persons were at the same time strug-
gling for their lives.

.11frs. Braybook, of No. 222, Strand, has just been making
the most anxious inquiries after her nephew, a young and
promising youth, who, although not in the habit of remain-
ing out all niglit, is missing, and is suspected of having gone
to witness the boat: race. She describes him as being about
twenty years of age, and having a ring on his finger with his
name inscribed on it, and a silver watch and chain in his
pocket. The excitement among the crowd of persons on the
bridge continues to increase rather than diminish ; and the
inquires at the Glaziers' Arms, at the time of writing, are
most numerous by all classes of society.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT
BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The drags were kept at work till long after midnight, but
without more bodies being recovered. The labour was re-
sumed at dawn, and about seven o'clock the body of a girl,
about nine years of age, was drawn from beneath the barge.l
and conveyed to the Glaziers' Arms, and was shortly after
owned, and proved to be Amelia Mundy, daughter of the
proprietor of the Lamb and Lark, Printing-house-square, who
had been missing since the sad catastrophe. The body was
ultimately deposited with the others at the dead-house of St.
Anne's, Blackfriars, to await the Coroner's inquest.
Many persons remained throughout the night, some as
spectators, and others waiting in anticipation of the re-
covery of the body of some lost relative or friend. As the
day light approached the crowd on the bridge, the steps, and
wharf leading to the pier had materially increased, and a
dense crowd was again formed around the Glaziers' Arms.
Among those at the wharf was a young woman who had re-
mained throughout the night, partly sleeping in a boat,
anxiously waiting in anticipation of a missing sister being
found; she was however not disturbed to receive this melan-
choly gratification.
As the tide receded, boats were out, the drags were used,
and other attempts made to discover the bodies of missing
persons.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
Last night (Monday) a most melancholy accident, at-
tended with the loss of several lives, happened by the break-
ing down of the floating pier belonging to the Watermen's
steam-boats, moored upon the east side of Blackfriars- bridge.
A crowd of men, women, and children, had congregated
upon the pier for the purpose of witnessing the great heat
of the Bankside boat race,
.when suddenly the temporary
andve way
which

the Middlesex side. The confusion was at once indescribable
—a dense mass of human beings struggling together, each
clasping the other, and many of them sinking to rise no
more. With all possible speed drags were procured, and four
persons were after much difficulty rescued, and, after the
most careful attention on the part of Dr. Hutchinson, they
were restored to their families and friends. About eight
o'clock the bodies of two children, whose names we have
since ascertained to be Benjamin readcot, aged about four
years, and that of his sister, about fourteen years of age, were
brought ashore quite dead. The bodies were taken at once,
on stretchers, by the police to the Glaziers' Arms, in
Water-lane, and every attempt made to resuscitate them,
but without effect. About half-past eight the body of a young
female, about eighteen years of age, was found close by the
bow of one of the coal-barges lying alongside the floating
pier. She was dressed in a black drawn bonnet, a lavender
print dress, had on an apron, but no ring upon her finger.
She was quite dead when taken to the above public-house,
where she was laid by a large fire and wrapped up in
flannel. Up to nine o'clock no one had appeared to iden-
tify the body, nor up to that hour had any other person been
found.
When the poor creatures were precipitated into the river,
their screams for assistance were truly heart-rending, but so
great was the confusion, that few had sufficient presence of
mind to exert themselves. The police, both of the Thames
and City forces, under their several inspectors and sergeants,
exerted themselves most meritoriously in attempting to
rescue the drowning persons ; and up to half-past nine o'clock
the excitement occasioned by persons inquiring for missing
parties was truly dreadful.
By ten o'clock two other bodies had been picked up at St.
Paul's Wharf, but the parties were restored.
Just before that hour another female body was found, and
as all the bodies are identified, we are enabled to furnish a
correct list of those discovered, who now lie dead at the Royal
Humane Society's House, the Glaziers' Arms :
Mary Ann treadcot, 18 years of age, living with her
father in Newgate-market.
Rhoda, aged 14, her sister.
Benjamin, aged about four years.
Also, Maria Bulstead, 23 years of age, a fringe-maker, who
was residing at 8, Jerusalem-passage, St. John s-lane.
The inquiries for others missing were very numerous dur-
ing the evening ; but owing to the darkness no further
search could be made. At dawn operations were to be re-
commenced.

On examination of the platform by daylight, it appears
to have been formerly constructed of good sound deal, which
was originally about an inch and a half in thickness, but
has been materially worn away, so that at the part broken
it scarcely shows an inch in thickness. The cross-pieces or
bearings beneath are not very strong, and are rather wide
apart, and appear so far to differ with the gangway which
has been substituted this morning, which has stout bearers
placed diagonally, and at right angles with the cross-pieces.
It has been currently reported that several other bodies
have been found; but up to this time (12 o'clock) no more
than five bodies have been recovered, viz., the four mentioned
in the morning papers of this day, and that above described.
The report that money was taken by the pier authorities
to allow the unfortunate people to go on the gangway is, it
would appear, wholly without foundation.

NUMEROUS FATAL ACCIDENTS
ON THE RIVER.

SEVEN LIVES LOST.
On Sunday night last no fewer than four accidents,
attended with a loss of human lift, happened on the River
Thames, the particulars of which will be found in the sub-
joined summary of the whole of the facts. The one of the
most painful and distressing character occurred between the
hours of ten and eleven o'clock abreast of the Archbishop of
Canterbury's Palace, to a party of five, who were returning
from a trip up to Richmond. From the statements of the
survivors, two youths named Henry Tuckton and Alfred
M'Evoy, it appears that on their return they stopped at the
Red House, Battersea, where they partook of some slight re•
freshments, and continued their course towards Hungerford-
market, where they had engaged the cutter, Mr. Thwaites,
brother-in-law of Mr. Lye, a master tailor, of Great Pulteney-
street, taking charge of the rudder, and the remainder, viz.,
his son Joha, another young man whose name is at present
unknown, and the survivors, pulling. On nearing Lambeth
Church, keeping the middle of the stream, they observed a
steamer in their wake, and being close upon them, they
towards the .11Iiddlesex shore, in order to get out of her way.
Very few minutes had elapsed before the whole of the party were
suddenly precipitated into the water, by the cutter running into
a barge moored in the roadstead, with such force as to almost
shiver it in two, clearly showing that the unfortunate persons
had their attention directed to the approach of the steamer
more than to where they were going. For some time their
piteous cries of Help,' could be heard from both shores for
a considerable distance, but in consequence of the lateness of
the evening, a lengthened period elapsed ere boats were put
off to their assistance. M'Evoy managed, as the boat went
from under him, to grasp at an iron ring that hung over the
barge ; and Tuckton was afterwards picked up, floating on
the bottom of the cutter, by a Waterman, and taken ashore
to the Brown Bear public-house in a greatly exhausted con-
dition. Of Mr. Thwaites, his son, and the stranger, nothing
was seen afterwards, and there cannot be a doubt but that
they perished almost at the moment of the occurrence. Mr.
Thwaites was a widower, and has left a family to deplore his
loss. Up to a late hour last evening none of the bodies had
been recovered.
Just about the same period as the above took place,
another fatal accident occurred within two or three hundred
yards from the spot, higher up the river, to a skiff contain
ing seven persons, on their return from Putney. It seems
that on their arriving off Milbank their craft came too near
a barge, and one of them, named White, got up, and was in
andthe act of

fellow was sinking, and he accidentally fell overboard also.

liquor, succeeded, by the help of a seull, inrescuing
latter ; and on their directing their attention to 1S•. lute he was

The third happened on board the Nymph,
steamer, in Rugby's-hole, near Blackwall pier, whilst on her
passage to London, to an interesting little girl, named Clarke.
as ft was understood, eight years of age, and which caused
the most painful excitement amongst the
passengers that
crowded the vessel. She lead been down to 'Woolwich, in
compe.ny with her parents, and. on returning, it is said, in
playing about, she accidently fell overboard from the gang-
way, which, was not properly fastehed, and before the steamer
