Falling of a Building in St. Louls—Several Persons Seriously Injured—Heavy Libel Suit. St. Louis, Nov. 19, 1869. About eight o’clock this morning a portion of the large new stone front butiding on the southeast cor- ner of Olive and Fifth streets fell with a terrible crash, burying from nine to thirteen men at work in the basement, At this writing six men had been taken out of the ruins, one of whom Napoleon Easton, has six ribs broken, two severe wounds in the head and lungs and 1s so badly injured that he cannot live. Francia Beager has @ severe wound in the spine and his hip joint padly twisted. John Switzer is badly wounded about his head and diferent parts of his body. A. L. Johnston, Conrad All and Joseph Stanberry are slightly injured. Desperate exertions are being made to extricate the others trom the ruins. It appears that the foundation portion of the building which fell bad been settling for some days, and while the men were shoving up a column in the basement to put under jt a new Iron piste, in the place of a stone plate which had been roken; the partition wall, thirteen inches thich, resting on the top of the columns in the basement and extending to the roof, came down with a crash, bringing with it all the inner partitions and about forty-five feet of the outside wall of tne building.

It was confidently expected by many who bun- gered and thirsted for place that the substitution of Senator Folger for General Butterfleld as Assistant Treasurer would give them the long-looked-for oppor- tunity to squeeze in as clerks and counters in the marble building in Wall street. Their expectations, however, have had no fulfilment as yet, the new Assistant Treasurer being disposed to take his own lime in the matter of removals and appoinumenta. Al the clerks and attaches who — were on duty during the régime of General Butter. fleld are still at their posts, and it ts not at all probable that any changes will be made for some ume to come. ‘This, however, does not pre- vent numerous applicants from pressing their claims, The same rules and regulations for the gov- ernment of the Sub-Treasury and the proper dis- charge of the duties devolving upon the clerks ordered by and in force under the jate Assistant ‘Treasurer still prevail, no alteration whatever having been made. Senator Folger was in his office during the hours of business yesterday, engaged in the reception of visitors and in acquainting himself with his responsible duties, THE GERMAN LEGAL AID ASSOCIATION, Tne quarterly meeting of tho German Legal Aid Association was held last evening at No, 205 Bowery for the transaction of the usual financial business and the reception of reports. About a dozen of the directors were in attendance, Dr. T. Herzberg pre- siding. The association, numbering nearly 400 mem- bers, was formed for the purpose of lending legal assistance to the German population and others whose legal rights, such as those appertaining to the administration of wills and similar fmattera, were brought into question, and who of themselves might ve una- bie, from want of means, to assert their proper claims. In connection with the association is a legal committee, whose members are provisionally entrusted with power to advocate the demands or defend the actions of their claimants. At the meeting last evening the secretary, Dr. L. Meyer, read the minutes of the last meeting, which rere confirmed, and some routine and financial bust- having been disposed of the ‘chairman read the quarterly report, showing tnat the association liad already attended to various cases presented to li, with the most gratifying results, Up to the present time the affairs of the association had progre: most favorably; and, although it was comparati in its Infancy, it had, nevertheless, done a number of meritorious acts. ‘he Treasurer’s report was next read, setting forth the flourishing condition of the society, and that the yearly subscriptions had been promptly settled. Mr. W. Loew then moved a resolution to the effect that @ committee be sent to Albany to request the Legislature to change the law concerning the sum- moning of witnesses, as at present its administra tion was characterized by many inconveniences that could reasonably be dispensed with. The resolution Was unanimousiy adopted. Some matters, principally of a financial character, having been discussed at some lengta, the meeting adjourned, A FIGURE*ATIVE ENTERTAINMENT. A respectable audience, in quality and numbers, gathered last evening at 900 Broadway to listen to an exposition of arithmetic by Professor H. Ernst. Arithmetic, he said, originated with Abraham during the descent of the Jewish tribes into the land of Egypt, as recorded by Josephus. In later days the Hebrews, Greeks and Romans had a separate system of enumeration of theilrown. The Greeks, always superior in art and science to their contem- poraries, employed characters to represent figures of a@pecuiiarkind, They used the letters of their alpha- bet, having nine to represent the units, nine to repre- sent the tens, and nine more to stand for the hundreds, In Large numbers were expressed by combination. the thirteenth century the Arabs gave an impetus, and in 1424 the science app present degree of perfection, in the disc ‘y of printing. 1ts success culminated with the vast and important discoveries made m the science of algebra, which opened to this branch of mathematics a clearer field than it had ever before occupied. After continuing briefly to describe the growth of arithmetic, the Professor gave some practical ilus- trations of a lightning system of calculation, Which, he said, abridges many of the lengthy formule now in use in mercantile houses and otner places. The Professor's efforts were not appreciated. He stood constantly with his back to the audience and mumbied bis explanations with such feeble articula- tion shat no one Knew what he was about. As he was considerably embarrassed, it is charitabie to presume that this was an oversight. His operations were very unsatisfactory to those who have even the remotest confidence in that revered old heirioou, the multiplication table, and his tnnovations did not etrike his auditors as possessing any merit that could be named rapidity. Passing from one point to au- other, the Professor did not gain any converts. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
