It has been known for some weeks that the founda-
tion of the Custom-house has been giving way, and we
stated yesterday that preparations were m +king for re-
pairing it. They have been commenced too late, for
this morning; between nine and ten o'clock, the Long
Rooth fell into the King's NVarehodse, inpne.hatcly be-
low it. The workmen, &c. were torte:lately alai:7l.M
by a stridden crack, which gave the whole et them just
time to escape; r the consequence would have been
tat to many. The_accident, for sometime after, cau,• d
considerable sensation, as it was supposed, from tl c
number of men employed in the Custom-house; rills:
by the fall of part of the building; must have fallen a
sacrifice, and been buried in the rnifis.—The
house cost more thin a quartet of a million of money.
and for which the architect alone received upwards of
thirteen thousand pounds.
Yesterday evening, Mr. john 13e11, in the employ,
ment of Mr. Solis; coaehmaker, of Long-acre, niltri
evincing more than ordinary good spirits, sudcleily
became indisposed, and although every attenti,n %%IS
promptly afforded, he in a short time eipired.
A new undertaking, entitled the " General Sou:li
American Mining Association," was brought out ses-
terday, and it was announced that a company has been
farmed for working the Mines of Pasco, in Peru. The
shares in both were at a considerable premium. A day
now seldom passes without the arriving at Maturity of
some great project, requiring a large amount of cavil:do
independently of numerous minor undertakings, w hi&
escape notice in the crowd.
BRAZILIAN LOAN.--The Sc:ip of this contract was
brought into circulation yesterday, and bore a premium
of five per cent. early in the day, which afterwards de-
clined to 81 per cent. The stock has been issued to the
subscribers at 85 per cent. payable in 12 instalments, of
which the last becomes due on the 14th of January,
1826. The first half-yearly dividend of 2i per cent.
becomes due in October, and die interest is to Le pail
half-yearly in each succeeding year, in the nrmths
April and October, at the hou,e of MI. ROTHSCHILD, the
contractor, in sterling money, without any deduct.,, n.
There is to be a sinking-fond, as in the European
of one per cent. on the total amount of the 13i az;liart
loan ; and it has been stipulated that the amount Ir-
gaited for the purpose, as well as f.'r the interest, sii.4ll
be remitted regularly in diamonds, six months befo:
C
the period when they become due. An agency f
sale of the diamonds thus transmitted has been Cic..tad
in favour of a mercantile house in Amsterdam. .
information was this day given to the Police, of a
most daring robbery on the person of JANES WATKINS,
Esq. resident at Hackney, formerly a merchant in the
Baltic trade, on his way home. Mr.'. WATKINS, it
seems, has been in the habit of coming to town at cer-
tain periods, and whether the robbers (three in num-
ber), had been induced to believe he cartie& prnpetty
with him, is not known. He was, however, stopped by
three of them,about half-past seven .o'clock last night, and
plundered of his watcli; ribbon, and key, and about 17s.
in silver, with some paper, luckily en-negcciable by
the r bbers, one of whom had a cut on ae cheek and
. .
worel a sailor's jacket. •
