DREADFUL ACCIDENT Ar BILLINGSGATE'.

This day being the first opening of the oyster sea-
MI, a greater supply came up the River last night
than has Ix to known for a number of ,cars: upwards
ef eighty vess.:ls, with cargoes of oysters, were to be
seen off Billingsgate Wharf at twelve last night, at
which hour every street and avenue leading thereto
was thronged by persons of almost every description,
pressing on each other, to see who should have the
first chance of being served. The first accident arose
from the gun-port on the lower side of the quay
breaking away, and letting adrift above thirty vessels
which were warped to it. Fortunately the tide was
running down, and with some difficulty they main-
tained their stations ; but had a contrary tide flowed
equally high, the vessels must have run foul of the
bridge, and the damage would have been serious.—
The next alarm was fatal to an individual, who was
observed to fall off from the dock, and was not seen
after. His appearance was that of a fellowship porter.
A mote fatal and distressing accident then followed.
A vessel, technically termed the « Dumb Lighter,"
is at all times stationary alongside the quay, rising
and falling with the tide. At 12 last night the tide
flowed, by which the Dumb Lighter" became on
a level with the quay, and a number of persons were
enabled to step on from that to the oyster vessels.
Seventeen unfortunate persons, having been supplied,
were returning the same way they had gone to the ves-
sel, and not recollecting that the tide had considerably
run down, by which the vessel became lowered in
the interim, they attempted in the dark to step up to
the quay; in doing so they fell into the cater; fonts-
neelytwelve of them wei e got out alive, but five,
that is, four males and a female, are still missing.
A number of enquiries have been made of the
Parish Beadle this morning by the different relatives ;
:ovcever, none of the bodies have yet been picked up,
and the concourse of shipping renders drags useless.
