Accident and Loss ofLife.

Neto York jan l5-About one o'clock
this atterhoon six new buildings in Twenty
first street, the mason work of which had Just
been completed, fell with terrific crash
The workmen had inst returned from their
dinners, and from thirty to forty of them were
buried beneath the ruins. Up to four o'clock
four dead bodies had been taken ont, and six
severely injured. 1t is supposed that from fit-
teen to twenty have been killed. The appear
ance of the mortar used, caused great excite
ment. 1t is said to be almost all sand and
very little lime in it. We understand the
builders name is Spencer. Thirteen men are
recovered-four dead. One boy was killed on
the sidewalk while carrying dinner to his ia
Their. The scene beggars description. The
whole SIX buildings are mass of ruins, level
with the basement. About one hundred men
are at work removing the ruins and in search
of other bodies. The number still buried Is
unknown probably over twenty. Many poor
women are in great agony lowering around the
ruins. Men will be at work all night, assisted
by police and firemen.
NeO York, Jan. ia coroner's inquest
was commenced yesterday respecting the ca
tastrophe on 2lst street. A large number of
witnesses were examined, chiefly carpenters
and masons, all of whom assign bad materials,
bad workmanship and gross carelessnesS as the
cause of the houses falling. They considered
that the houses should not have been run up
SO high before erecting the front walls. The
inquest adjourned at ) 0 clock TO meet again on
Monday TO hear the evidence in defence
Thomas, the architect, has been arrested and
held TO bail in $4,000 to answer any charges
that might be preferred. F'lemming, the fore

Lady, the rose give to thee
Will wther, fade, and die:
It's beauty like sunbeam flee,
Its freshness like sigh.
Yet still Its leaves, tho scared and dead
A fragrance sweet will give,
To tell thee tho its life be fled,
Life's memory will live!
And Lady thus, tho crushed and torn,
This heart by time may be,
It's truth, like perfume will be borne
On memory's breath to thee!
