• PROM THE MANCHESTER GAZETTE 07 MARCH 1.

Yesterday, at one o'clrlck, one of the most deploratilk-
accidents that has occurred in this neighbourhood for
many years, took place at the wharf of the New Quay
Company. A new vessel belonging to that Company
was to be hunched, with her mast and full rigged ; nuns.
ibees of people were_ present, and we uadersiand that
about 200 persons went on board, amongst them two of
the daughters of Mr. Grime, the New Quay Company's
manager. The whole of the preparations being con.
eluded, the vessel was let go, and bounded away into the
river amidst the cheers of those on board, and of the by.
standees who had assembled to witness the launch. At
first, (in going into the water, the vessel appeared to lit
a little to one side, but not so much as to cause any
alarm; but with the impetus received by descending
from the stocks, she peeled, and ou striking agaiest the
opposite bank was in a moment Upset. The whole of
the persons on deck, and a few wha were clinging up I
the rigging, were precipitated into the river. The acci.
dent was proclaimed, to a considerable distance from
the place, by a terrific shriek from the assembled crowds
on both sides of the river.

All the small boats that could be got were instantly
brought to the spot, and those who were floating were
rescued ; so many clung to one boat that it was very
neatly sunk. Three or four men—two of whom, we
understand, had been on the deck—kept swimming
about, and now and then diving and bringing as many
to the shore as they could; and in this way a great
many were saved. Boat-hooks and drags were then
made use of, and several others welt got out, apparently
lifeless, and laid on the banks in sight of the agonised
multitude. Notice was immediately sent to many of
the surgeons, and some of them were soon on the spot.
and every exertion was made use of to restore the suf-
ferers to life. In several instances they were successful,
but there were many cases in which their utmosteffotts
were unavailing. In some cases after the use of the hot
bath, an incision was made into the wind-pipe, and a
pair of bellows applied in order to inflate the lungs, and
this was in two instances successful. No individual was
left till after there remained not the slightest hope of
recovery, and indeed efforts were continued long after
hope had fled.
The Misses Grime, who rood at the bow of thew-
sel, were of course precipitated into the water year to the
Salford side, but were shortly rescued trout a water,
grave. About five o'clock the vessel' was righted, and
a little girl was found under it. When the accident
was made known in the town, the scene at the New
Quay became heartrending ; motheri and 'fathers
were running about almost frantic, inquiring foe
their children; sisters seeking their brothers, bro.
titers their sisters; husbands their wives, and wives
their husbands—" refusing to be comforted because
they were not." The sight of the . dead, bodies
was the most appalling we ever witnessed ; and the
wailing of those who had lost their relatives—the fear-
ful anxiety of others, who feated a similar deprive ion—
and the immense mass of people who lined the banks,.
impressed and awed by a sense of the calamity, formed
altogether a scene which most painfully excited
the feelings.
The total number of deaths, as far as we could learn
last night, is thirty-four. There were twelve bodies is
the warehouse of the New Quay Company; sixteen at
the Britannia Inn, and six at the King's Arms, Oldfivld.
road. We did hear that several bodies had been earned
to their own homes.

In addition to the facts that have already been pub.
lisped, I have the painful task of stating, that six more
bodies have been extracted from their-watery 'rave.,
and it is ascertained that eleven mute are certainly
missing. By some, it is said that there were not leis
than four hundred persons in the vessel at the time
she went off the slip. At the present titre there has
been nearly 50 bodies (dead) taken out of the sater.

DREADFUL CALAMITY
♦T THE NEW BRUNSWICK THEATRE.

There is no new fact of interest to communicate this
morning. The men are now clearing the space under
where the pit stood, but no bodies are expected to be
found there. It is, however, pretty cettain, that when
the fallen brickwork is removed from the street, one or
taco bodies of unfortunate passengers wi,l be found.

Last night Miss M'Aulay, in a Discourse on the
Chii,tian Religion and preparation for death, feelingly
alluded to the catastrophe at the Brunswick Theatre.
She mentio ed having been urged to accept of an en-
gagement there, which she refused, resolving to perse-
vere in her religious put suits, and considered it was the
interposition of BEATEN she had not been numbered
with those who wete so suddenly cut off! This occa-
sioned great sensation among her hearers.
It was regarded as alemarkabletoincidence, thattbe
second lesson for yesterday's Morning Service, 15th
St. Luke, contained two verses, 4th and sth, which is
a moral point of view wete applicable to the late melan-
choly catastrophe at the Brunswick Theatre. The
words were these : Of More eighteen upon whom the
tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, Mink ye that they
were sinners above all them that dwelt at Jerusalem? I
tell
.ye nay: "
but except ye repent, ye shall all lzkewrre
petzsh.
The lamentable catastrophe, which occurred at the
Brunswick Theatre, suggests that some legislative
enactment should be introduced as to surveying new
buildings in general throughout the country, but espe-
cially those erected, as this 'I heatre was, on a scale of
magnitude. When we say that instances have occurred
of old houses in this metropolis having fallen, and oc-
casioned direful calamities, we think such an Act should
estend to a visitation of those which remain in a simi-
lar tsite. We are induced to mention this (tom a house
