 was carried into T ncighboring house,
 where his wounds were cxamned by
 Dr. Carroll. He had supposed his
 2 ii.itis was broken il, two places. butsIt
 was found on examination that ss;ieit, ieit,
 Was not the fact. His head and face
 were apparently much bruised, butit ] IS believed. that with e. ;iat iati,i,ttio1, l he will soonsreeover. He was earrieds
 home 10 his friends in Delaney street. He must have remained under the ru- ans more than hours, and remarked that during this time he considered himself, in effect, q dead man.
 About half past twelve o'clock inc hand of Mr. Stokes was secnproiccfinp from beneath the ruins, and qraspine the pen, with which hc had been wrii. ting; It will be many hours before he can De removed: the body from the weight on it must have been entirely crushed.
 A colored man was takenout about one o'clock, and carried to the house Of Alderman Harper, opposite, and about six o'clock this morning was sent to thchospital dreadfully ly mangled. As. near as We could ascertain, he is named
 Thomas Hawkins. Wesaw the dead body ofanother eolorcd man taken from the rui9s at.ninc 0 clock this morning.
 The gentlemen who hnyc thus been so suddcniy cut off, were iiighl stecnl. cd and beloved. MT. Goddard is we'll known as the author of his system of ibook-keeping. Mir. Stokes, was. a young
 gentleman of great worth, son of our Iexccllont fellow-citizen, MT. Thomas Stokes, and the confidential clerk of Mir. Phelps. Mr. Seymour has been in the employ of Phelps t Peck forfiyc years, and was deservedly esteemed he was from the neighborlood of u i ca.
 At two o'clock this z, lie b b5-s dies of two labosefs were extricatea from the ruins-one of them was lnnnd in sitting position, near tho front, lifc4 less-hc is said to be q foreigner, named Pearsall; from the appearance of the corpse it was supposed thatbc lived sometime after the building fell
 In Cliff street, the second door from Phelps & Peek's,a a gentleman was con- fined to his sick bed, very low, who had not for some time been able to assist himselfin moving, yet tie fright vas so great that he jumped from his bed and stood erect on the chamber floor.
 In the great anxiety 10 get 10 those who were underneath tho ruins, several persons wern inisared hy the s;!!; bales ofcotton, and other goods. About ninco' clock, John lIunte q watc tchnaIa, received thc force of d large bale on hls breast, which deprived him of the abili- ty of speaking for some time. He, how ever, dnNlly was able 10 speak, and when we saw him last a physician was with him, who thought him not dang erously injured.
 Tho moment news Of Inc Ca asfropfle was received at tbo C'it Hall, M F, J us. tice " ylnan sent q strong corps of tlie police, to preserve order, and prevent. the destfae4i ss E m;1a Sharpe sof zthe second ward and Alderman Stevens of fhe third, W6fc ke.s!se tiisis s5I1 were indefatigabIe in their Iabors until a very late hour.
 In order to cal the hook and ladder companies, the bells rang an alarm of. fire. The several companies hastened to the sississ, and worlscs. with great dili- {,,cncc, not unaccompanied with danger for many hours. They we're directed by Mir. GulIick, the Chief Enginecr as- sisted by NIT. Venman, the late Epgi- neer.

 The crowds of people collecting to view this scene of destruction, which we confess our inability adequately to describe, have been very great. There were probably ten thousand people crowded into the several streets leading |to the spot, before seven o'clock last evening, and there could noth been less than that number at eight o'clock tfhis morninC
