vailed throu, hout this colony. in consequence Of
insurrectionary movements among the negroes,

Sailors Retreaf.-W regret to learn that an
accident has happened to this building. which has
been rapidly going upon Staten Island, BY which
its completion will be retarded. The N. York
Daily Advertiser says:-
The workmen had progressed so far as nearly
to put on the roofs. On Sunday night the side
walls which are about seventy feet in length, fell
in, and the whole now presents the appearance
Of an immense pile Of bricks. II is supnused
that the mortar owing to the severity OF the wea.
Their, had not an opportunity to dry sufficiently
to receive so great a weight. This accident, we
presume. will only delay the progress Of the work,
a new building will no doubt be put up as rapid.
" as the season will permit.
