VVi Richmond in Monrning-.-Action of the y,Legislature. Richmond, April, 27.—The sun rose bright and cheerful" this morning. over* a city full of' happiness, which by midday was turned into mourning and desolation. O.ne of the most frightful and appalling catastrophies occurred at the Capitol building, wholly without a parallel, by which nearly, fifty lives were lost and as many were maimed* and this day is henceforward one: of. horror and calamity-in. Riohmond’s hißtory. , 1 : ''- ': ' . —■— Tlie Scene of the Disaster. \ Such was the intense interest felt iri the de cision to be rendered by the State Court of Appeals in the Mayoralty case to-day, that by 11 o'clock A. M. a crowd of eager citizens filled the court-room, which is located on the npper. floor of the. Capitol building, on the north side, and immediately above the hall of the HjOuse of Delegates. The room is about' twenty by twenty-five feet, the Judges’bench at one end, being confronted by, a small gal lery at the other. The entrance to the court room is frorrua balconied gallery in the upper story, oyer the "Washington monument, on the lower, floor,.and_a.bom.iB .aukylight in the roof, which admits the light; This balcony, or gallery was also filled with people who could not gain admittance into,tbe.court-room. At the time of the catastrophe it is estima ted that not more than three hundred persons were in the court-room, hut these filled it to its utmost capacity. A large number of the legal fraternity and members of the press were seated in the room immediately in front of the bench and the gallery. The opposite end was filled with leading citizens,and the centre of the small room was thronged by a crowd, both seated and standing. There was a gen eral conversation or discussion as to the mer its of the case going on among the assembied audience* the members of the press were ar ranging their paper and cracking jokes, as is usual among them,and ail were eagerly await ing the advent of the Judges:: At length two of their Honors entered—Judges Joynes and Anderson—and took their seats, when the conversation lulled ambngthe people, and for" the first time there.,was a .perceptible silence. The Accident. Suddenly, and while awaiting the arrival of ■the remaining judges, a report of a smothered gun - under the floor was heard, followed‘im mediately by‘ another similar report, and every body started from their seats and looked towards the centre o.f the room, from whence the ominous sounds.seemed to issue. People there stood up and, looked themselves for an •explanution-of—tbe-stranger-and-mysterious noise. But they had not,long to wait. There earned crackling sound, as of small‘timbers breaking, and then-the floor was felt giving way .in the .’centre’’of the room. • Simul taneously evexybbdyaumped . to,their feet, Jor; all £elt ; that danger, was imminent, and self-, preservation is the first law of nature, But.it. was • too date. ,Down,-went the floor.with a terrible crashy with its living, breathing and 1 frightened hixipan freight, dragging-rnth it the gallery and its living mass, and down they ;went a distanoe of nearly fwenty-tive feet to the floor of the House of Delegates. Then, with the descending mass, the ceiling above, which was somehow attached to the gallery, also came down with - another fearfuL crash, ■ smothering and crushing the living and strug gling mass of victims beneath. - Providential Escapes. A ledge of about twelve feet, on which the bench was located, did not go down, and on, this many lives‘ were saved, including the' judges and Reporters. , As soon as the fearful crash had occurred,those who could: clutched hold of the windows,stepped out of the gallery and ran out to other .rooms, and thus many others were also saved. Ttie Excitement. The scene which 1 followed is utterly beyond description.' Between the two bodies of the floor and ceilibg was the mass of people, 1 tire force and power of the latter, with the gallery falling uponthem,foreversilencing their cries for help. ~11;,was a scene of horror never to be forgotten by those, who-witii'essed it. To, iho.se who remained about and who. ventured to look down into ..the vacant spade of the court-room nothing was visible but a cloud of thick dust, through which the frantic cries of the victims vet alive could .be heard vainly; appealing for help, (Spreading; the News tlieCity.— The crash was felt in . every portion of the building, eyen to the basement, out of which tlie officers ran in precipitate haste, and soon the alarm of the catastrophe was pealed t hrough the city on tho bells of the surround ing churches. This sound had the effect of bringing promptly to the scene tjmYb’ire De partment, besides a large concourse of citizens, who were under the impression that a confla gration had taken place. Hooks and ladders were at once brought into active requisition, and the work of extracating the dead,the man gled, the Wounded and the dying was com menced. 1 v . A Fortunate Incident. Luckily, it was an hour prior to the meeting of the Legislature, when the House of Dele gates would also, have been thronged, and hundreds of Others would have been added to the already immense list ofkilled and wounded. As it was', some fifteen or twenty persons are reported to have been in the house, some of whom escaped, and some were killed, one of the pages amoDg them. An Incident of the lamentable occasion is that both the mayors, Ellysonand Chahoon, who were the most in terested parties present, went down with the floor into the yawning room beneath, Ellyson tHcaping unhurtj-wliile Gkalioou was slightly injured. , ' \ Fifty-six Persons Killed. It is now positively ascertained that there were fifty-six persons killed in the catastrophe; ,but.tbe number of wounded cannot be ac curately ascertained, as many of them,walked off. It is supposed, however,that notless.than 100 are wounded. . The Capitol BaUdlhff, •which dates nearly to the revolutionary era, Is dilapidated and inseonre, and is now but a wreck, of l what it was, the whole northern side of it being a mass of debris. While the dead were being removed, many alarms took place, and the people rushed from the' build ing repeatedly, in terror of - another calamity. Throughout the entire city business' has been suspended, stores are closed, and the community are , mourningtheir Irreparable, loss; Many of the stores aVS 'driipou in the emblematic crape.; Women and 'children are crying and weeping in every' -'direction.'; mph are rushing hitbeT and thither, seeking fresh details of the sorrowful tragedy. 1 . .4l i ■ A nicollim Called For. .

Among the miraculous escapes are those of the reporters of the. Whin, Dispatch and State Joumal— all of wlidkn were seated immediately on the edge of the parting floor, poor.

A gentleman, who narrowly escaped with his life, describing the scene, says : “ I was seated at one of the tables with the reporters when the floor caved in, arid the crash of ceiling, floors and timbers followed; my chair thus half fell, and I went over the ledge, but, happily, grasped the floor, and was for a time suspended; I involuntarily- prayed, and heard a clinging companion say: ‘‘Look have mercy upon mo, I am goneit was ,a terrible moment, winch J never shall forget ; the crashing of the floor', tlie shrieks of the mass who went down in.their death slaughter, . and the frantic efforts of some to escape, with my own slight chances of life, were all fear fully presented in a single instance; when I -recovered, and got-myself^baolt—oniherplafc form,. I fainted, and hurried by some body from the fatal apartm'ent.” ' Miscellaneous Items. To-night, a great meeting of the Gaboon and Ellyson.police.was held, at, which resolutions of respect to the- memory of their deceased brethren were adopted, and it was agreed that both parties should join in and participate in. the funeral ceremonies., The State Capitol to be Abandoned. : Both branches of the General Assembly held' a session at the Exchange Hotel, merely meet ing and adjourning until to morrow at twelve "O’ClOOk, to avoid, any interruption in trie pro ceedings. • It is believed the Capitol will now he abandoned as a nnblic institution. It was built in 17i)2, and is now! years old. • A private telegram from Richmond says that the court was about to deliver an opinion jn favor of Mr. Ellyson, one of-the judges dis senting, as the floor fell. r ; A TERRIBLE CRIME. A Man l'onnd Jlnrdercd at Englcnood, Bi. J.—Efforts to Ascertain Wbo lle Was and Who Ktiled Him. The beautiful little Village of Englewood, N. jiy-about fourteen-miles from .New York.' oh the Northern" Railroad, has .‘just been plunged into painful perplexity by a mystery which has filled the whole district- with horror. On Thursday .evening, the 14th in stant, about!)} o’clock, as a party'of ladies and gentlemen were returning from Hacken sack to Englewood, over the meadows, they heard sounds of distress proceeding from' a distance, and fancied they heard cries of “Help! help!” They paused .in- their w alk for a few minutes, and no further, cries being heard proceeded on their way home ward, and next day dismissed the inhttev.from ' i heir mtpds as insignificant. They were des tined, however, to be again reminded of the occurrence in a way they little expeoted. Nothing more transpired until last Friday evening, when a workman returning home to Englewoodthe same way, in the dusk of the evening, thought ho saw a map lying on the wet part of"the meadow near the Peek creek, but either from timidity or some other un explained cause; passed on home. On ar riving at home he -tried to dismiss the subject, from his- thoughts, /but. all the ■evening-the image of the body he had seen -roso-’before- 'haunfcd him with a strong presentiment of Something wrong. > He passed a sleepless night, and early, next morn ing rose and started off for the meadows. On arriving at the spot lie found, to his great hor ror, that the body he had seen before Was that of a man in an advanced stage of decomposi tion, lying on his side, with the clothes appa rently undisturbed, but with the throat cut from ear to ear, the gash being so deep as almost to sever the head from the body. He at once returned to Englewood and communi cated the faegs to Mr. Squire Miller. Justice of the Peace and Coroner for the district. The Coroner at once took charge of the body,'and at first it was supposed to he a case of suicide; but the fact of the body’s having been found having reached the ears of persons who heard the screams ten days before, they communicated the fact to the Coroner, and a medical examination of the body was made, 1 tliejresult of which l.eads to the belief that it was not suicido, hut a brutal and deliberate murder. The body of the deceased is .that of an unknown man about forty years of age, and is supposed to have been dead aboutten days on the (lay it was discovered. The jugular vein was entirely severed, and the position of the wound seemed—to—show that it had not been inflicted by the de -1 beased’s own hand. The supposition is that the murder was not committed for,the purpose of robbery, as a.yaluable pin. was found on the man’s breast,'and Oil cents in cash in his vest pocket. In his coat pocket was found a cigar case containing two cigars, and a pocket-: handkerchief, on the corner of. which, in very faint letters, is the name “ Morris.” The Christian name was so faint that it could not be deciphered. The inquest was opened yes terday,out was adjourned until Tuesday next, in order to give the Vigilance Oommitteo of the village time to endeavor to obtain some clew as to the residenco of the unfortunate man and the wheroabopts of lps murderer. —New Orleans policemen won’t Btand still over fifteen’minutes, and/ let < people- pound them and stick,knives Into .thorn.
