We are compelled to record one of the most shocking and fatal accidents that has ever occurred in our city. Itia difficult to arrive at anything like the exact parti culars in the case, in the midst of the immediate excite- ment of fs hour, but all that can be had we here pre- went: — A short time since,Mr. W. H. Glenny purchased the Duilding next above wat in whieh this paper is published, and known as the old Commercial Bauk building. This he was fit'ing up, in « beautiful style, for a crockery store. The arrangements were hastening towards covi- pletion, and it was his to move into it in about ten days. Lact evening, between five and six o'clock, the back wail of this building suddenly fell with » crash that was heard at a great distance, burying from fifteen to twenty persons beneath the ruias. The exact number @ ix impossible to give before our vext. Being some- what near the hour of quitting work, it is hoped thata portion of the workmen had left. But the best is bad enough We present @ list of the persons known to be evgaged upon the building, as far as could be ascertained. There were twelve men employed ty Mr. Tilden. Those known to have been saved were:—Warren Sawyer, Con- rad Deal, George Nicholas, George Houck, Lawrence Fuloer. George Kinneki, boy, leg and arm brokex. George N. Johason, foreman for Mr. Tilden, killed. Michael Hadiey, laborer, killed. Beury Steinbotfer, supposed to be killed. There were three otters, whose names we could not Son, Messcs, John and Thomas Hefford had three men and tio boys employed on the carpenter work, three of whom were kill Henry Halthrop, and two Germans, whose names we ‘wore unable to learn, Franklin Hause, and Charles Hume, and a boy named Philip, were raved. Glexry’s bookkepper and a boy, who were in the building e-caped with but elight injury. This gives on aggregete of twenty t at {he time of the accident.

Speci- mens have been raised that compare favorably, in point of quality, flavor and texture, with the best of Havana. the town of Dallas is rapidly increasing ia size, popa- lat'on and business. We shipped last year approaching nine thousand bales cotton. Up to this date we lave nearly doubled the shipments of last year, and as great quantities of cotton ere still in the interior, our most experienced merchants estimate our cotton trade for this year at twenty thou- sand bales at least. From the vast immigration eoming into our country, it is said that Lavaca will ahip next year three times the amount of this year.

Every day informs us of persons buying lots | on which to erect bulldings for dwellings, stores; &c. The Indianola Bulletin learns that it is in contempla- tion to organize an Episcopal congregation in that place, with a minister to labor there, and at Lavaca and | Victoria. The Bulletin of the 24 inst. gives a very favorable ac- | count of the business and health of Indianola | paper saye — We have never seen things look brighter ia Indianola than at this time. The arrivals of wagons and cotton during the month have been greater than ever before | known at the ame season. The receipt of cotton, and the sales of goods to planters and interior merchants, have Increased very greatly. We are glad to see many country merchants buying goods in Indianola, who never traded here before. Our hotels are literally crowded with strangers, and travel still increasing. The most perfect health prevails. Indeed we do not know of acase of sickness in town, and most of the doctors are starting for the gold regions. Gen. Harney and Lieut. Stevens, U. 8. Topographical Engineers, were in Indianola at last'accounts. The latter supersedes Capt. Mclel’an ir the survey of the bay and coast, the captain haying been ordered to Oregon. The Indianola Bulletin, of the 34 inst., bas the follow: ing paragraphs :— huring the last elx weoks, the amount of travel on our stages lines, and the New Orleans steamers, has well nigh doubled. The gold excitement is probably one cause of this. The schooner Wm. H. Hazard, thirty-one days from New York, has arrived. The brig Virginia, Cooper master, cons; | Babbitt, arrived on ‘Friday, twenty one da more, and sailed again to day. The Houston Telegraph of the 20th ult. has the following paragraph : We have been informed that a controversy has arisen between the surveyors of Bexar county aud those of Milam, in relation to the surveys on the Clear Fork of the Brazos and Palo Pinto, A number of surveys have been made on those streams by the surveyor of the Milam land district, but be has been notified that the Bexar land dis- trict includes those streams, and probably no further surveys will be made until the difficulty is adjusted. A company of about sixty emigrants will start in two or three weeks from Richmond, for Galifornia. Mr. Rockwell, formerly of this city, who spent three or four years in Cali- fornia, accompanies the party with his family. They will go by El Paso andthe Gila. Mr. Rockwell intends to drive @ large numeer of cattle from this section. He says cat- tle which he can purchase here for eight or ten dollars, will sell readily in California for fifty or sixty. The Trinity and Brazos rivers were nearly at low water mark a few days , and unless the rains that fell on Saturday and Sunday last have raised them, navigation will be suspended. The steamers Jack Hays and Wash- ington are above Cincinnati, on the Trinity, and the steamer Wm. Penn was a few days since above San Felipe. 1 to Major om Balti The Texas Gold Fields, [From the Colorade Tribune, April 24.] The reputed gold discoveries on the upper sources of | the Colorado and its tributaries, have produced no little excitement in many of our neighboring towns. Large parties have hurried in the designated direction of the treasure, with the most ssnguine hopes of success, while | the more tardy and less adventurous are on tip.toe for the first reliable intelligence to warrant an expedition | thitherward. What is to be*the upshot of all this, a | few short weeks will develope. Madam rumor ix doubt- ful authority, and those who are tenacious of a joke, and have no extra time to lavish on new adventures, would do well to pause for a tangible issue. The reports concerning these rumored gold discoveries | are comMicting and of doubtful veracity, to aay the least of them. We have not yet, in all the accounts we have seen, beon enabled to trace any sitisfactory ac- counts of these rumored gold discoveries upon which any reliance can be placed, beyond the mere exhibition of a } aged of quartz rock, and some substance said to resem- ie gold, declared ve been obtained by some one somewhere in the vicinity of the Santa Saba, or Leona The well known fact that the precious mezals do exist in+ this State could not fail to bear out these asterted dis- coveries were it not for conflicting rumozs based on reli- able authority. and from which we are l-d to believe the whole story originated in what has proved to be a very | successful hoax. It is well known that several parties left Austin snd some of our Western settlements for the sup- posed gold region months ogo, and if we can rely upon | the authority of our cotemporaries at the capital, have returned unsuccessful in the object of their search. Or | at least, this is the public impression—if they succeeded in their adventure for gold they are extremely cautious not to exhibit it, end at the mere mention of the subject generally shy off like one who feels the severity of a | praetical joke. The history of that wonderful piece of quartz 10ck, “about the si marble,’ which Captain Talbot has been exhibiting to the wondering | gave of the citizens of Indianola, aud which the un- erring judgment of the Galveston News pronounced | “much clearer than the California spa #,”” traces its izin to the mountain region of an Joaquin, fy whence its exit into Texas was made in ‘he well pocket of some returned Californian.

What appears more certain is, that in Puerto Principe the People kept at home and were sulky. accounts related about the troops, if true, cannot be encouraging to Spain; and at this mement a regiment is being drawn from Trinidad, on account of some mis- understanding. That the troops at this moment should show disaffection is not strange, for their position is irk- ome, ass having tha Gueniepnnce cfs tie pereolna’ in’ ay acts of insubordination, it may readily be supposed that it would not require anything extraordinary to cause them to show their dissatisfaction; and, perhaps, the proclamations which have been circula’ as it is said, amongst them, have tended to werken their affection for the service. Tt is said, Tdo not know with what truth, that the Catalans are beginning to consider their position serious- ly; however, if they give their support to indepen: dence it will be with the understanding that the Island shall not be annexed to the United States. The ereoles, on the contrary, sre bent on annexation, as they consider that the peace and prosperity of the Island require the glorious stars and stripes to wave over it. There isa good deal of activity amongst the vearels of war at present. They are coming and going every day. All the British are at sea, aud if they have firedat any more American vessels, that is more than I can say. I have been informed that they have orders not to inter- fere with any expedition that may appear to give a help to the Creoles; however, this completely contradicts the astertions of the British ministers. On account of sym: pathy with the Creoles in their cause, it might happen that the Ne!sons of the present day might put the DI eye to the glass. should anything appear. The only solution of the rumor in regard to the pro- nunciamento at Puerto Principe, is that the troops were suffering badly from cholera, and being alarmed, fancied that they were being poisoned, andon that account showed some insubordination.

That gentleman very properly repudiates the idea of joining in the too prevalent practice of applying for injunctions, particularly in this instance, where not only the United States, but all the nations of the earth, look with anxiety to the Crystal Palace of New York, for its magnificence as an exhibition, and its attractiveness a8 a focus of the art and science of the Old World and the New. Tux Weatner.—The thermometer. which had been for some time previous comparatively low, averaging about temperate, took a sudden rise up yesterday to 72 deg. at uoon, and maintained that height the whole of the day until night, when it fell two degs. At this rate we may expect warm weather shortly; but the changes at this period of the year are co sudden and frequeat that nothing certain cam be affirmed. The late rains have had a wonderful effect in advancing vegetation, as any one can discern by looking at the trees about the rks and public walks; and the grass, what little we Pave in our crowded city, has taken « deeper hue of ua- ture’s favorite color, green. However pose every thing may appear, it is yet too early to think of country jaunts or watering places, but another month will make ‘an astonishing difference, FAtse ALARMS OF FirE.—] the past week the num- ber of fires bas been very limited—a fortunate circum- stance, and which we are very happy to record; but not- withstanding this thore have been several alarms, which the fire engines, on turning out, have discovered to be unfounded. On yesterday (Sunday), there were two or three falve alarms given by the fire bell for the Third district. The last of these was in the afternoou, at the termination of divine service, and on hurrying to the spot, at the corner of Fourth and Bank streets, where the suppored fire was indicated to be, we found abeut fifty en hose carts, and fire escapes jammed up tegether ina very narrow street, and a crowd of at least a thou- sand persons congregated about. Fortunately no mis- chief ocurred, for there was a strorg body of police on the ground, who were very efficient in preserving order. There wax, however, as amatter of course, much oonfu- sion; but om the principle that “allis well that ends ”” we shall say not on that score. These false alarms, notwithstanding, are very wrong, and in many reepecta injurious, irrespectively of the annoyance to the neighborhood, not the least of which is that they tend to render the firemen in the end careless as to the signal. The cry of ‘wolf, wolf,” which at last was not regarded, may be very appositely appropriated to such cases. Let us have no more of them, Rare ox Two FeMALEs.—A most outrageous attack on the chastity of two females, Mrs. Catharine McLaughlin, ‘a married woman, and her niece, a young girl of about fifteen years of age, was committed by four ruffianly fel- lows, on Saturday afternoon, about three o'clock. It appears that the two females while walking along the track of the Harlem railroad, were met when near to Sixty-fifth street, by the above mentioned ruffiaus who dragged them into the bushes that lay on one side of the hry and after violating their persons left them there. ‘As s0on as sufficiently recovered from the injuries they had received they gave the alarm to some people passing by, by whom they were taken to the nearest police station. The officers went immediately in search of the fellows but were unable to obtain any traces of them. The aunt, Mrs. McLaughlin, is dangerously sick, and has been attended by Dr. Morris. Her residence is somewhere in the vicinity of the outrage. Boar PickeED Up.—-A six-oared boat, painted black out- side and blue inside, which is supposed to have been stolen from Blackwell’s Island by some convicts that have escaped, was picked up the other day, on the East e ferry master of the Jackson ferry, and can the owner on making*application to’ Mr. Mer- ritt, of the Seventh ward police. Proressionat Brocans.—We learn that the manufactu- rers of falee certificates, who are styled by L’Ecod’ llalia as calenoni, viz» a chain of beggars, have already pre- red printed papers, to be furnished to all thoge vaga- Bonds who areseen wandering in our streets, anf Knock at every door, to obtain money, purporting to be the same political exiles arrived on board the San Giovanni. As this imposition on the public may injure the cause and reputation of the true unfortunate exiles, we hope that our police will look round, in order to detect and punish these numerous vagabonds, who are generally imported from villages near Genoa. Personal. W. D. M. Howarp, Esq.—This gentleman, whose name we noticed among the list of arrivals from San Francisco, in the steamer Ilinois, though still a young man, is the oldest American merchant in San Francisco. Mr. How- ard went to California more than twelve years ago, since which time, he has been engaged in mercantile operations in San Francisco. The city is much indebted for its ex- traordinary growth to the enterprize of Mr. Howard, and many young men who have gone there have owed much to his kindness and assistance for their success and pros- rity. ‘This is the first visit of Mr. Howard to the At- Itntie coast since he first went to California. Probably no man is better acquainted with mercantile affairs on the Pacific coast than Mr. Howard. “Among the Amie bel! by the Atlantic, arrived on Sa- turday, was Kate Saxon, a very clever actress, of Drury Lane. Genl. Dodge, U.S. Senator, Wisconsin; Capt. Maynard, 4 San Francicso; Lieut. Grew, San {Francisco; E Connor, U.S. A-; W. Whitney, U.S A. Beverly Kenyon, U: 8 omas Roney, U.S. N.; D.C. De Leon, U.S.’ N.; Hon. G. W. Lewis, Virginia, were among the arrivals at the Metropolitan Hotel yesterday. We learn from the Boston Transcript, of the @4th inst., that Mrs, Mowatt sirived in that city on the 12th inst , accompanied by Wm. F. Ritchie, E37 , editor of the Rich moni Enquirer. In fuldlment of a promise of long stand. ing, Mrs. M. will appear in the character of Desdemona, for the benefit of Mrs. Warner, the ceomplished English tragedienne who:e severe indisposition and many trials bave greatly enlisted the sympathy of the public. Mrs, Mowatt will not appear again during this season, her own health not beiog quite re established. In September she will commence a round of farewell engagements in the principal cities of the Union, and early in the spring she will lay aside her stage attire for bridal robes, and retire to Richmond to private life. Her last engagement and final farewell of the stage will take place in Boston. where also her nuptials with Mr. Ritchie will be celebrated. Fine Arts Heyry Cray’s FAREWEIL ADDRESS IN THE U. S. Senare, 1842.—We have received a copy of the celebrated engrav. ing of the United States Sonate Chamber of 1842, represent ing with a great deal of talent, Henry Clay delivering his tarewell address to that learned body of men. The en graving containe about one hundred portraits, displaying with life-like appearance, Webster, Calhoun, John Quincy Acams, Benton, Martin Van Buren, and a hoat of other ¢minent men, many of whom are now numbered with the,dead, but whose glorious deeds of patriotism, and words of national guidance, will perpetuate their me: mory. "The engravit gs are of the very finest description, so much £0, indeed, that any person well acquainted with the Senate of that ‘day could easily distinguish the fea- tures of any individual in the beautiful piece of art. Fifty impressions of this plate will be sold at auction by Pangs, Platt & Co., No. 13 Park row, on Thursday even ng, May 19, at 8 o'clock. Brooklyn City Intelligen Desrrucrive Fire—RUN OVER BY AN EXGINE.—A destruc tive fire occurred on the corner of Pearl aud Plymouth streets on Saturday night. involving the lore of property to the amount of about $16,000.
