FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The extent of the calamity which occurred yesterday
morning cannot possibly be ascertained until the whole
mass of bricks, rubbish, and timber, which cover the
numerous dead bodies—many hundreds of tons in weight
—have been removed. Between one and two hundred
men were constantly empl.'yed the whole of yesterday.
till past one o'clock this morning, in removing the mate-
rials that cover the rest of the sufferers, and it has been
calculated that about thirty persons, dead or alive,
are still buried under the ruins. The excavators
worked till they were completely worn out by fatigue,
and after two o'clock this morning, they returned
to their homes to recruit exhausted nature. Many
persons still remained in the neighbourhood who
had lost relatives by the accident, anxious to catch a
glimpse of each corpse as it passed, to see if they could
recognise the individual they sought after. The body
of a Jew, named Levy, was discovered between
eleven and twelve o'clock, and a number of per-
sons of the Jewish religion, as soon as the corpse bad
been conveyed to the watchhouse, carried it from
thence to the deceased's late dwelling. Levy was a
seller of oranges, andia as passing by the theatre when it
fell. The body of Miss Fearon, one of the actresses,
when taken out of the ruins, was dreadfully mutilated.
The head of the deceased was nearly divided, and the
limbs nearly all broken. body of Ellis, one of the
door-keepers, was also crushed to !freers when disco-
vered. Of the ten bodies taken to the watch-house,
eight of them have been removed in shells to their friends'
houses. Several other bodies were iemoved direct fsom
the ruins to their late residences. Jesse Miles, a carpen-
ter, who was killed while at work in the shop of the
Theatre, was so dreadfully crushed, that his death must
.have bean instantaneous.

The workmen and labourers employed in digging for
the bodies continued at work until one o'clock, when
they finished their labours for the night. The crowd
at that time was still vet y grrat, some anxious to know
the fate of their relatives and friends, were loud in their
surprise, thinking that by continuing at work during
the night, they might be the means of rescuing some
more of their fellow creatures.

At six o'clock this morning the workmen resumed
their task of clearing the arena of the Theatre, but
up to nine o'clock no additional bodies were found.—
The guard of soldiers were reinforced at about seven
o'clock, at which time, and indeed for two hours pre-
viously, a large concourse of people had assembled.'
Upon further inquiries, it appears that at most not more
than 100 persons wore in the Theatre at the time the ac-
cident happened. Three of the workmen escaped death
miraculously. They were working over the stage, and
heard the crash, ran to the staircase which runs up in
one corner of the building, and this stood firm,
notwithstanding several large beams fell against the
wood work. As many of the performers and workmen
were near the orchestra and in the dressing rooms, seve-
ral bodies must be buried in the ruins in these places; the.
workmen are clearing the rubbish in these directions ; at
least eight or ten individuals perished about these places.
It bas net yet been mentioned, that the person who kept
the shop next to the public house, on the opposite side
of the street Os bakes ), was killed. He was standing in
his shop, and was killed on the spot. All the individuals
in the London Hospital are doing well this morning.
Miller, one of them, Well comielled to submit to the
amputation of his leg, otherwise mortification would
have ensued.

Two o'Cis.cx.—As yet the exertions of the workmen
have been unsuccessful; no more of the bodies of the
sufferers have been discovered.- The dray-horses, at
an early period of the day, were removed; and so
great was the accumulation of rubbish over the
carcass of one of them, that, in extricating it, the
chain that was at:ached for the purpose twice broke.
It is unnecessary to Mate, that anxiety and suspense
of the deepest desci iption still prevail in the neigh-
bourhood. Few, if any, certain facts have been ascer-
tained. Vague and uncertain rumours, as hope or fear
suggested them, were flying about; but wishing to ar-
rive at the troth, we made the most minute inquiries,
and find that all have had their origin in the sources we
have already mentioned. There is reason to suppose,
that several of the individuals thought to have been in
the Theatre when its destruction took place, were not
actually on the spot. The company only being recently
established, and the residences of its members un
known, it is imposaible to ascertain at present who are
or are not the victims.

Mr. Palmer, Mr. W. Williams, Mr. Wilkinson,
Mr. Nodder, Mr. Adcock, and Mr. Philips, for whose
safety apprehensions were entertained. we are happy
to say have escaped uninjured. The fate of Mrs. Russell,
as excellent actress, is still uncertain. The general
impression, which we hope will be realised, is, that she
was not within the building at the time. Mrs. Wilki-
nson has also escaped, but the most melancholy forebod-
ings prevail with respect to Miss Hanand, who had been
engaged in the operatic branch of the establishment.
The Inquest on the sufferers will take place this
evening, before Mr. Thomas, the Coroner for the pre-
e net of the Tower, but the proceedings. it is said, sill
be of a limited character, and that a lengthened Inquiry
into the c•+use of this deplorable event will afterwards
t ke place.
As high winds may be expected, we would suggest
that immediate exertions may be instantly made to pull

This is the day for paying and receiving their difference In the
British market, and up to the present hour, everything appears to
go of well. Coutes opened at 113 buyers, and at peseta may be
quoted at 113 to 4. A report prevails, that the Metalliques, at
Vienna, have Wien from 3 to 4 per cent. which causes the Coma
market to be rather heavy.
This is settling day in the Foreign market, and one failure has
been declared; he belongs to both markets, and is not of any note.
