AWFUL CATAsTROPHE.-The three story
brick building on the south side of Canal
street, and between Camp and Magazine
streets, occupied as the Planters Hotel, and
kept by Charles Armstrong, fell to the earth
this morning about halt pasl o'clock. Re-
pairs had lately been making in the lower
story, aud II Is presumed that too much ofthc
support had been incaullously cut away.
The hotel was occupied as an eating and
lodging house g. il Is calculated contained at
the moment OF the dreadful accident, between
sixty and seventy inmates. The billiard room
which had been very full till late at night, had
closed only short time before. young
gentleman who left it but few minutes be-
fore the fall Of the building, states that he
passed to the opposite side of the street, to
his boarding house, went on to the gallery in
front, where he heard three distinct and loud
cracks, resembling the discharge of small
cannon, then sound like an earthquake, as
the mass fell, and for moment after, one and
only one, appalling cry, as if by the united
voices Of the sufferers! The alarm was d-
rectly given to the citizens, the bells rung and
engine companies turned out.
May live understand that there were
about fifty persons in the Planters Hotel ut
the time of its tall. In the course of the day
there were taken out dead. the body of gen
tleman from yellow Banks, Ky. OF the name
ofHanna, lawyer oimuch responsibility; the
body of Mr. Mooney, the superintendent of
the tables OF the Hotel and the body of Mr..
Hopkins, who had been during the past sea-
son attached to the Circus Company, playing
h0re.
II is thought there arc still severa-four or
five buried in the ruins. More than forty
have escaped, with life: some wholly free
from hurt; some slightly injured, but many
shockingly mangled; all of whom, however, 1t
is believed, will survive.
We nre informed that none of the props
or support of the house had been diminished
during the process frepair, but that the ac-
cident can only be attributed to the age, de-
tects, and deficiency of one OF the wulls.

THE CoMET.-A letter from Vienna an-

celebrated English astronomer Herschell,
now residing at the Cape of Good Hope,
the remarkable intelligence that llaley's
comet of which so much has been said, and
which is positively expected in August this
year, will not be visible, because it has long
since changed the direction of its course, and
now revolves in different orbit. A report
by the German astronomers on this important
subject is expected very shortly, and will be
published.
