LANCASHIRE, 
A dreadful accident occurred on aay 
Feb. 12, at the parish-church of Saint Ni~ 
kcholas, in’ Liverpool. A few minutes before 
divine service usually begins, and just as the 
officiating clergyman was entering thechurchi, 
the key-stone of the tower gave way, and 
the north-east corner, comprising the north 
and east walls, with the whole of, the 
spire, came down, and with a tremendous 
crash broke through the roof, failing along 
the centre aisle, till it teached’ near to the 
communion rails, and in. its fall carrying with 
it the whole peal of six bells, the west gale 
lery, the organ, and clergyman’s réading desi, 
totally- datnoliening them, and such seats as 
it came in contact with, Not more than from 
fifteen totwenty adult persons were in the 
church at the time, and of these the greater 
part escaped 3 but the children of a charity 
school, who are masched in procession some= 
what earlier than the time of service, had 
partly entered. ‘The boys following last, al? 
escaped 3 but anumber of the girls, who were 
either entering the porch, er proceeuing up 
the ae) were overwhelmed in a moment 
beneath the falling pile. The crash ef the 
steeple, and the piercing shrieks ef terror 
whieh instantly issued from those who had 
escaped in the church, ot were spectators im 
the church-yard, immediately brought a 
large concourse of people ta the spot, whe di& 
not ‘cease to make unabated efforts te rescue 
the unfortunate victims from the falling ma~ 
sonry, till all the bodies were extricated, not- 
withstanding the tottering appearance of the 
remaining part of the tower and roof of the 
church, which momentarily menaced a se- 
cond fall. Many instances of hairbreadiix 
deliverance cccurred. All the ringers’ es- 
csped except one, who was caught in the 
ruins, and yet was extricated alive by his bre-: 
thren.- The alarm it is-said was first given 
to the ringers, by a stone, falling upon the 
fifth bell, which prevented its swing; the 
men ran out; and a moment did not elapse 
before the bells, beams, &c. fell to the bot- 
tom of the tower, and their escape would have 
been impossible had not the belfry been upom 
the ground-flour. The Rev. R, Roughedge, 
the rector, owes his safety to the circum- 
stance of his entering the church at an-un- 
accustomed doors Tne Rey. L. Pughe, the 
officiating minister, was prevented from enter- 
ing by the children of the school who were 
pressing furward. ‘The teacher, who was. 
killed, had just separated the children to af- 
‘ ford him a passage, when a person exclaimed, 
~*¢ For God’s sake come bak !’—-He'stepped 
back, and beheld the spire sinking, and the 
whole fell in. We shall relaté another in- 
stance almost miraculous. A person named 
‘ Martin was seated in his pew; the surrounding 
seais were dashed in pieces, and heaped with 
KUINSs,
