There seems to be no doubt that the fall was due to the heavy rains which have been experienced in Hongkong during the past week or two, which had soaked into the ornamental copings of the building and led to the downfall.

*Almost of the stroke of four o'clock this fernoon, while Comble Gallagher was of duty at the corser of Queen's 'Road Central and D'Aguilar Streël, and while the thorough fares were thronged with people, there was a lobd crash of falling brickwork.
