Dreadful accident and loss o ftiUes at KirkGL-
dy in ScOtLand.-A most dreadful accident &C.
Cured at Kirkaldy, on Sunday last, June IS
the disastrous consequences of which equal If
not exceed those produced by the fall Of the
Brunswick Theatre some months back. From
the particulars which have reached us through
the medium of a correspondents appears
that the Celebrated MIR. Irving, who has been
for several months back in tine active exercise
of his ministry through different parts of Scot
land, was announced to preach at Kirkaldy,
On the days of Saturday and Sunday, which
naturally attracted numerous congregations.
On the evening of the latter, the chapel was
crowded at an early hour to hear his farewell
sermon. Service had not commenced when
the fears of the congregation were excited by
a sudden cracking ofthe beams which supper
ed one of the galleries. The alarm of danger
was instantly succeeded by its reality. The
gallery gave way, and was precipitated with
the whole Of its occupants into the body Ofthe
church. The results were terrific, and the
sacrifice. of life awfully great. The rush to
the doors were tretnenduons,and in the strug-
gle for life and death, % persons are stated to
have died from pressure and suffOcation.-
Three were crushed to death by the falling
beams, and numbers have received severe
Commissions. The CONSERVATION in the town
and neghbOrhOOd when our correspondents
letter came of, was great hey You'd example,
Anxious solicitude was in every face, and in
quiry in every mouth, while the grief Of the
! relatives and friends of the sufferers, (among
whom was mother. whose three daughters
persisted on the OCCASION added to the mel
ancholy and heart-rending features of the
scene.-Gor's Liverpool ADD. June 10th.
English Opinions of the Tarif-A news
paper published at Leeds, Eng. after stating
| that the city ofNew York and other great
depots of manufactures are quite overwhelm'
I ed with British goods proceeds thus:
THE severest stroke of all is the new Am.
erican Tariff the injurious consequences o.
which may be supposed to have begun to OPP
crate some months ago; when the glut it ha:
created is passed over, we may expect to see
the manufactures of the U. States flourish in
uninterrupted prosperity, for theyfhave been
kept in subsection for long time past by the
immense sacrifices of British Manufactures
that have become too incidental to the trade
to that quarter. We should regret to see thest
manufactures once more in the enjoyment cfthei1
native market
Such are the views and approximations o
! our recent tariff law entertained by the For
! eign manufacturer; and they may be quoted
as pretty strong evidence in favor of the wis
dom Of that measure, and Of thespolcy upor
which it is founded.
