LATILIT PARTICULARS.

After the men were called off last night, the names
of those Who had exerted themselves were taken down,
and:the- parothielauthorities summoned a meeting, at
which-the Churchsvardetissrere•of course present, when
it was resolved that no expense be spared to extricate
the bodies of therselepposed td be in the ruins, the num-
ber of had been magnified must terribly. In
pursuance of this highly praiseworthy resolution, the
Churchwardens,' With Mr. Callahan, were, at an early
hour, oat' the *pot. The foreman of Mr. Peto readily
attended, and expressed the utmost desire to render
every aid bY•the services of additional men. N. sooner
was the order given than the sues- set to work with
hearty good will, overlooked by persons whose orders
they implicitly obeyed, and by nine o'clock nearly half
of the rubbish. in front, oh the pavement, was cleared
away, and we are happy to state the ungrounded
fears thatitirne children and passengers were beseech
were dispelled.• The workmen now became in better
spirits, and in despite of the ruins,' which hung dee-
gerously on. Other side of 'them, proceeded doWi into
the cav,ity, and made their way, by dint of great ex,
ertiol, to where the body of pisor Mrs. Stokes was..
The scene here cannot be depicted. The poor creature.
it would appear, had made her way towards the door,
as she was found.with one of her feet crushed to atoms.
Her bead.Pretiented a dreadful spectacle; and, in fact,
her whole remains .presented an awful sight: it was
coveted with dirt, and appeared like a flattened piece
of timber. °The body was immediately removed to the
Bef pUblic how, to await, with she other unfortunates,
the result of the Corot et's Inquest, which will be held
this day, arid• fur which

of our writing, this, suosmoniug the Jurors. We now
recur to the incise plearing fart of our duties. The poor
woman Irdgely,a symptoms .were this morning more
favoUrable,than could have been expected. The lit-
tle sufferer...l4lo bad .been confined for tummy hours
under the ruins, was also better. 'He was-placed 'in
a bed, under the.,care of two medical Gentlemen, at
the waechhouse of st. Pool, Covent-garden, and' bad
• enjoyed a most ;Meshing sleep. His utsfottunate 'and
bereaved father applied to see him this. moaning,' but
on going up
.apftly to his bed he was found•liijoying
his slumber and the poor father-retired; by the•adrice

Since'writingtther above. a fact bat been comusn'rii.
cated to us eittch,,nppeaes. to. be of considerable leis.
portanie—namely, that Mrs. Stokes bad salstely as
the past week expressed her: fears that the house was
extremely dangerous, and sad actually called in one or
: two friends to view it, both of/ whom expressed she
same fears, but itufortnnaiely the natural impulse they
would give rise to wag not acted upon. The real cause
of the catastrophe appears to be the unsoundness of the
storVposts, the bottoms of which were quite-decayed,
and the *retched sort of brickwork used .it the buddies.

The undertakers are in high spirits at the great in-
crease which is takicg place in the number of medical
schools and lecturers.

In consequence of the great failure in most of our
own fruits, those of foreign growth are importing in
great quantities. Grapes from Holland, of the mpst
deliicious flavour and appearance, are selling at half
the price of our own.

Church. so as to enable marriages, christenings St& to
be performed.
