lAccideak-Between three end four o'cloc.
Yesterday afternoon, the wall and roof of two
brick tenements on 18th street, fronting the ha.
sin, fell in, burying under them several indiv!.
duals who were in them at the time of this I'M
fortunate occurrence. The crowd have sue
ceeded in extricating all save one person; who
has not yet been seen. Those who escaped
were but little injured. One of the two tene.
ments which have fallen in, was occupied as a
grocery by Mr. Tinsley Johnson; the other was
used as warehouse We fear the loss of Mr.
Johnson will be very considerable. The pro.
perty in the other tenement consisted chiefly Of
tobacco packed in boxes, which will be but liz
tie, if at all, injured; and a large quantity Of
-four, (several hundred barrels) much of which
we fear, has been unavoidably destroyed in is
hurried removal. The houses are entirely de-
stroyed. And the front wall of another tene
ment adjoining them, on the side nearest Cary
street, has also fallen. This, and the house ad.
joining on the other side the two that have given
way, will probably require to be rebuilt. We
learn the accident was Immediately producpd
by an attempt to let down the lower floor to
level with the street, which had been recently
cut down.

We have heard rumors of an intention or
VIC pau VI tuC pioNuiliCHt INCW YIN
mationists to remove to this city. We hope not.
They have no right to afflict this city with the
troubles which they have brought upon New
York; and we assure them that any calculation
on the forbearance of our people, will probably
prove fallacious. True, we have abolitionsts
in this city, but they have hitherto conducted
themselves as good citizens. We want no Cox's
or Tappan's to utter blasphemy from our pul-
pits, pervert our temples into schools of anal.
gamation, and fill our streets with violence ami
outrage. Com. Herald.
A Hnt.-The publishers Of the Norfolk Bea-
con give notice. that persen in their employ
ment has absconded, and remains absent They
therefore caution the delinquent to return, or
they will be compelled to advertise him as run
away. This is something like a remark of the
Rev. John Morehead, many years since pastor
OF the Federal Street Church, IN Boston. The
rev. gentleman missed, in the course of TIE
week, quantity of wood from his premise.
He could not identify the abductor, and there
fore he hit on the following expedient: On Sun
day afternoon, in the midst Of the service, just
as he was about to read the concluding hymn, he
paused, and raised his eye to the gallery, an
with great naivete remarked, "the man that
