DRRADFUL ACCIDENT—FURTHAR PARTICULARS.--.
Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, two houses in Great
Russell-street, Covent-Garden, formerly the Blue
Posts Tavern, which was under repair, fell to the
ground with a tremendous crash. Unfortunately, at
the time, several workmen who were employed in re-
pairing the building were inside, in different parts of
the premises. The greater part of the crazy edifice
fell inwards, and buried nearly the whole in the ruins.
Every effort was immediately made to extricate the
unfortunate sufferers, and palings were erected across
the street to Drury-lane Theatre, to prevent their
exertions from being impeded, and the workmen con-
tinued at their labour; until night. Several were
taken out of the cellafand ground floor, but as the
materials of the building were light and unsubstan-
tial, the lives of many were saved. There were 16
persons in the interior of the miserable building when
it fell, those in the cellar escaped, but many of the
others dug out of the ruins presented very miserable
objects, and were conveyed to Middlesex Hospital
two of whom died, and three soon returned, and ex-
erted themselves to recover others from the ruins. A
poor woman, who was passing when the houses fell,
is supposed to have been tilled, as her basket was
found in the street, and she has riot since been heard
of. The workmen -continued digging on the ruins
the whole cf last night, and the neighbourhood was
thrown into general alarm by the accident. •
Thursday the 29th ult. a fire broke
out in a cottage occupied by R. Builth, at Abbey-
door, Herefordshire, labourer, during his absence at
work, and that of his wife, who was engaged in
baking at a neighbour's Noise, by which the cottage
and ever Article of apparel and furniture were con-
sumed ; and, dreadful to relate, four fine children,
the eldest only five years old, perished in the flames..
AUXILIARY BIBLR SocIETY.—A very numerous
Meeting of the Friends to the formation of an Auxi-
liary Bible Society, in the City of London, was held
yesterday at the Mansion-House. The Egyptian
Hall was appropriated to the business of the Meeting.
The Rev. Mr. OWEN stated to the company the
origin and progress of the Society, and the great ad-
vantages which it might be expected the cause would
derive from the countenance and support of the first
City in the world. That support he was sure would
not be wanting, in aid of the good work which was
now extensively carrying on throughout the wirrld.
Mr. BLUMARK stated, that the translation and dis-
tribution of the Bible among foreign nations, tended
not only to diffuse the spirit of Christian charity,
peace; and concord, throughout the world, but to
conciliate the affections of foreign nations towards
this country. In Sweden, and among the simple and
honest Dalecarlians, he could assure them, that the
peasants felt the highest gratitude to those who had
