sse are told, was constructed in the best man-

case Of the disaster, an increase OF the thickness

creased the danger. 1t was owned by the oc-

Postscript, 2 o'ciock.--The black man whom
we have mentioned as being still alive under

since, and carried to Mr., Samuel b. HarPer's,

his skull is fractured, and that his recovery is
Eduubtful He appears to have received no o.
Their essential injury His name is Tom Weeks
IA-resides at 10 Delaney street.
After the rescue of this unfortunate man,
there being no reason TO suppose there was an
ly other person alive beneath the ruins, the ia
ltigued workmen relinqaished their operations
for the night---they however recovered the boz
dy of white man, a laborer, whose name was
Nicholas----, and ascertained there weres still
under the ruins, besides the bodies OF Goddard
Stokes, and Seymour, those of a white man, y
black man unknown. Consequently the num-
her of deaths already ascertained by this Attic
II ting disaster, is six. Two other persons are
dangerously wounded, and two others still less
seriously injured We are not without appre-
lhension that this melancholy catalogue Will be
further increased.
