DREADFUL ACCIDENT IS DUBLIN.

(FROM THE DEHLIN MORNINU POST OF 'FLIES DAY L. 141../
An accident, attended with melancholy, and, v.e
fear, fatal results, occurred yesterday, abont t\.
Ilpck, at the Gas Station, at the North-Nall, on..
ned by the fall of the scaffolding, which had b,•e:l
erected over the retort-house, for the purpose ut
taching a roof thereto. There were about twenty
workmen. mostly carpenters, on the scaffolding at the
time it fell. Fourteen have been injured by the acci-
dent; some very dreadfully. The sufferers were intnie.li•
ately conveyed to Jerrie-onset Hospital. where thvy
received all the assistance that humanity and
could bestow. We have beard that the accident was
occasioned by the incautious removal of a piece oF
timber, which served as an upright to the scalfohlitm.
whereby the tiebeam was broken. I:saver:4lrd av-
counts of the accident were current in too n ye,n r-
sday evening, one of which was, that time chimney
of the Gas Station bad fallen ; no injury what-
ever has been sustained by the premises. We un-
derstand that it is an established rule with Messrs.
Henry, Mullins, and M'Mahon, (whose workmen were
hurt by the accident,) that all men in their employ-
ment, who are absent from their work either tilt oug lt
ill health, or from having received injnry through
accident, are continued on full wages, until sudm
time as they are enabled to return to their employment.
The following is a list of the sufferers:—Edward
Leavy, carpenter ; Thomas Brephy,do.—his leg broken ;
Thomas Lewis, do. ; George Waters, do.—severely in-
jured; Dennis Lawler, do.—severely; John *Shane,
do.; Charles Yellen, do.; Nicholas Berry, do. ;
tVtl-
Ryan. do. ; Doorley, do. ; -- Connor,
do. ; James Smyth. labourer ; Michael M'Donough, do.;
Murray, do.
Polder' I atrawoetsce.—A few days ago, a boy named
Henry Solomons, alias Bright, a Jew, apprentice to Mr.
Hyman, an eminent Jewish merchant, dealer in jewel-
lery, watches, &c., at Bangor, Carnarvon, eloped from
his master, and carried with him property to a consider-
able amount. On Friday last, Mr. Hytnan arrived in
Dublin, and proceeded to the Head Police-office, where
he gave information of the robbery, and a description of
his apprentice ; upon which. Mr. Farrell, the Chief
Peace-officer, dispatched Peace-officer Ireland, who, n
a few hours after, succeeded in apprehending a bey in
Parliament-street, and brought him to the office, where
he was identified by his master. Ireland then proceed-
ed to his lodging, and there found several article.,
which were subsequently identitied by Mr. Hyman to be
his property. On Saturday evening the above officer
brought the prisoner to Howth. and put him on board a
steam-packet, in which Mr. Hyman being made special
in the warrant, was in attendance to receive him, for the
purpose of conveying him to Carnarvon gaol for trial.

The Paris papers state, that Prince Laboncw is

port have been unusually few daring the la: t t. r nig E.
Yesterday morning a slight powdering of ewe's, .Ele
first this season, was observed on the tope of the most
distant mountains visible to the nurthw .rd of this city.
It disappeared, however, in the course of tae day. The

of water along the roads, happened on Tttestldy tight.

prevailed since the 29:h August, is row terminated.
