THE GREAT ANTI-CORN-LAW PAVILION.--The
walls of this great building are now up, and readY

to receive the roof. A little accident occurred the
other day, which we should not have deemed
worthy
of notice, but we see by the London Standard of
Thursday, that it is to be made to convey the impres.
sion, that, " from the slight manner in which it is built,
the remaining part is far from safe." It seems that a
piece of stone, forming the cornice, had been left pro-
jecting too far over the wall, and some brick work upon
this overweighted it, and caused it to fall, with a little
of the brickwork ; which, falling upon the putlocks of
the scaffolding, which were inserted in the wall below,.
forced them out, in doing which they split a portion
of the wall. This was the extent of the accident ;
which will doubtless be magnified by the Tory papers
of this day. It is one which might have occurred to
the strongest wall ever erected. The wall is of good
bricks, very substantially built, and 18 inches in thick-
ness; and there is no upper floor to support, but
merely the roof, which will also be supported by two
ranges of iron columns, 16 in number, cast by Air'
Fairburn, there need be no apprehension on this score.
We learn, however, that as some industrious attempts
have been made to misrepresent the nature of the ac'..
eident, and to cast dott-ht 1:11(•., stability of the-build'
ing, competent partics are copged to superintend the
