MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT

new brick building, three stories high, in
Ro',nson.street between Greenwich and Wash.
ington streets, belonging to J. Barnes, Cabinet
maker, fell down yesterday afternoon between
and O'Clock, whilst the workmen were stating
the root, and engaged in other parts Of t.
An apprentice Of Mr.. Barnes, lad Is years Of
age, named Joseph N. Ashbury, who was work
ing in the building, was crushed to death! Mr..
]. Barnes, the owner, was injured; William
Barnes had an arm broken, and his skull injur-
ed; MIR. Earl, a carpenter, was badly hurI Mr..
Stewart, a slater, do; VIM. Walker mason,
was also injured.
The above building was three stories high;
the lower part, we understand, was Intended for
a store, and the upper part Tor dwelling. 1t
was erected between small frame building on
one side and new brick house on the other.
On the side Of the frame building, the wall was
eight inches thick, but only four inches thick on
the opposite side, from the foundation, and IL
inches front and rear. The four inch wall, it it
is entitled to such name, suddenly gave way,
and the whole fabriek ,umblcd into rnins in a
moment, killing one person, and wounding
Ave others
The above disaster attracted an immense as
semblage Of citizens, and among them there
was bat one feeling expressed Which was that
building. If, said the multitude, there is q
law to punish persons for putting up such hous
es, it ought TO BIZ rIgidly enforced, and If there
is not, immediate measures should be taken TO
have,such a law enacted, not only TO guard The
lives Of those engaged in their construction but
those who are 10 occupy them, as well as the
6remen Of our city, many Of whom have already
fallen viclims 10 buildings such as the one a.
bove described.
Here is a repetition nj the most inexcusabie
and criminal rarciessnyss in the erection OF a
building, and we should consider ourselves as
neelecting clear and imperious duly, it we
should forbear to speak in pointed manner on
a subject which has excited the strongest ex.
pressions Of regret and Indignation. If such a
dangerous practice demonstrating houses is to
be permitted, if walls like these are to be al
lowed 10 ri SC whenever an avaricious man choos-
es to build at the smallest expense, and 10 fall,
Whenever The supers,ructure proves too heavy
for their support, and yet notice is 10 be TAX
en- Of it by the authorities Of our city, our grand
uries or our legislature, what security can Z
citizen feel in the house Of which he is tenant;
and what restraint will there be on those pro.
prie,ors and builders who are SO criminaliy re-
rardles of the lives Of their fellow-citizens!
Sine the above was written we have learnt
that a second person is dead.

that has and hereafter is to govern these fac.

satisfied with that time and treasure which. have
been spent in congress by such projects, but the
people are given to know what we are to expect
hereafter. Congress is to be converted into
an electioneering conyention--a few ambitious
federalists, democrats and tortium guilds are to
work the wires, and with an expectation that
some of each of those parties will follow their

From the GEORGETOWN Columbian,


The friends of good order and harmony must
rejoice that the cry of "corrupt bargain which
for the last two wears pervaded the political Cir
Gle, has at length assumed such shape as not
only to enable the accused party most success
fully to refute it, but to fairly turn the tables on
the accuscr. Mr.. Clay's mastery speech ne ar
Lexington, will be read by every honest man
with heartfelt, pleasure. The bold and lion-lke
stand he makes, challenging Gen. Jackson to
come with his proof, and leaving the issue to
the sound judgment Of the American people,
will convince we think, even the most sceptical,
of his entire innocence-guilt would never have
courted such an investigation, but have shrunk
from the severity of an ordeal that could not
fail to make it apparent to the world.
In the very humblest station. when charges
NE made, the individuals former good conduct
weighs much in absolving him from suspicion;
for i, is but fair inference, that man who has
acted honestly for long life, will no, jeopardize
that character by an act which would blight the
reputation he had before acquired. Is it no,
the last of folly TO suppose tina, men holding the
high and lofty rank in public opinion that
Messrs. Clay and Adams do, would cloud the
brightness Of their fair fame, by deed, which
would make their names descend 10 pos,esily,
in eternal infamy. The story is no, believed;
bat The wicked and designing repeal it with
view 10 effect theft diabo!iCa! design.
