Horrible Accident.-It is our painful duty to record the following most distressing and ta- tai occurrence. which took place yesterday morning about eight o'clock, near the ferry. foot of Fulton street. MT. Joshua II. Rdth- bone, of the firm of Walton, Rathbone, & Co.,. Providence, being anxious to receive letters from home, went down to await the arrival of the Rhode Island steamboat. On her nearing the wharf, Mir. Rathbone, impatient to board her, laid hold of the gang way plank before it was securely placed. and attempted to jump on deck. Unfortunately he missed his aim. and fell between the dock and the vessel. which, being in motion. jammed him up against the wharf with such force. as to break nearly all his ribs. drove his watch into his body, and otherwise mutIated him in a manner too shocking for description. The unfortunate sufferer was taken mp and con- veycd to his lodgings corner of Beekman and Gold streets, where he recovered his senses and retained them tO the moment of his death, which took place at half past o'cIock.-i6.
