Dated December 9th, 1845. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OiL. THIS faithful assistant of nature has, from intrinsic TNvorth alone, during the last half century, acquired the ESPECIAL PATRONAGE of the several SOVURBIONRT and, COURTS throughout Europe, and with RANK, FASHION, and DISCERNMENT, supersedes all preparations of pro- fessedly similar import. This Oil is pre-eminently successful in nourishing, improving and beautifying the Human Hair, in all climates, and in all stages of existence. The following is a brief notice of some of its PRINCIPAL VIRTUES, as a mild stimulative, corrective, and preservative agent, for the HAIR. The subject is more fully treated in a small Pamphlet which accompanies each bottle of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and wherein important hints and advice will be found on the Culture of the Hair in infancy, and on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of human life. INFANCY.—Its balsamic properties nourish the Hair in its embryo state, accelerate its growth, sustain it in maturity, and continue the possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy, to the latest period of human life. Genial and purifying, it dispels all scurf and impurity, and renders the use of the fine comb unnecessary. BALDNESS.—Its re-productive powers are constantly and surprisingly shown in cases of Baldness from what- soever cause arising (proved by numerous testimonials open for inspection at the Proprietors,) in eliciting unerringly, from the latent stem the active progression of vitality, so that in numerous instances where other specifics have been tried in vain, ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of art by re-instating in full plenitude of beauty the permanent graces and utilities of nature. GREY HAIR.—Its nourishing properties are eminently successful in the PREVENTION of Grey Hair, and in the RESTORATION to its original colour-also proved by testimonials. WHISKERS AND MOUSTACHIOS.—Its extraordinary fecundity is singularly displayed in creating these orna- ments of manhood, and in the production of strong and beautiful Hair. CURL AND EMBELLISHMENT.—Its invigorating pro- perties induce a strong tendency to curl: on Artificial Hair it bestows a look of vitality and lightness—sustain- ing the Head Dress in all the beauties of decorative forma- tion, glossy curl, and silky softness, unimpaired by the heated atmosphere of crowded rooms, or damp weather. SEA-BATHING AND VIOLENT EXERCISE.—After in- dulging in either of these, so apt in their consequence (by opening the pores) to exhaust the nourishing matter secreted at the roots of the bulbs of the Hair, the Macas- sar Oil will be found most efficacious, both in preserving and in immediately restoring the hair to its usual appear- ance of health with renovated brightness. CLIMATE.—This inestimable Oil preserves its virtues unimpaired by change of climate, and is alike in use from the frigid to the torrid zone, from the assemblies of St. Petersburg to those of Calcutta and the remote East. CAUTION.—Unprincipled shop-keepers, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious trash under the title of "MACASSAR OIL:" It is therefore imperative on Purchasers to see that the words ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL are in two lines on the Wrapper of each bottle, and on the inside of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters. Price 3s. 6d., 7s.—Family Bottles (equal to 4 small) 10s. 6d. and double that size, 21s. per Bottle. Sold by the Proprietors A. ROWLAND AND SON, 20, Hatton Garden, London, and by Chemists and Per- f'l>n_. All ntW "MACASSAR OILS" are FRAU- DULENT COUNTERFEITS. THE AMERICAN MEDICINE. DR. MOFFAT'S LIFE PILLS AND PHtENIX BITTERS. THESE Medicines have long been known throughout JL the American Continent, and appreciated for their extraordinary and immediate powers of restoring perfect health to persons suffering under nearly every kind of disease to which the human frame is liable. In many hundreds of certified instances, they have even rescued sufferers from the very verge of an un- timely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums of the dav had utterly failed; and to many thousands they have permanently secured that uniform enjoyment of health without which life itself is but a partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their efficacy invariably and infallibly proved, that it has appeared scarcely less than miraculous to those who were unacquainted with the beautifully phi- losophical principles upon which they are compounded' and upon which they consequently act. The first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels the various impurities and crudities; constantly settling around them and to remove the hardened faeces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to pro- duce habitual costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrhoea, with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists, who examine the human bowels after death and hence the prejudice of these well informed men against the quack medicines of the age. The second effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means the liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red colour from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. The following are among the distressing variety of human diseases in which the Vegetable Life Pills are well known to be infallible:- DYSPEPSIA, 'by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating a flow of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind :—Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Headaches, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety, I-an- gour, and Melancholy, which are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish as a natural consequence of its cure. Costiveness by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process, and without violence: all violent purges leave the bowels costive within two days. Diarrhoea and Cholera, by removing the sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints are occasioned, and by promoting the lubricative secretions of the mucous membrane. Fevers of all kinds, by restoring the blood to a regular circulation through the process of perspiration in some cases, and the thorough solution of all intestinal ob- structions in others. The Lifc Medicines have been known to cure Rheumatism permanently in three weeks, and GUlt t in half that time, by removing local inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of the joints. Dropsies of all kinds by freeing and strengthening the kidneys and bladder; they operate most delightfully on those im- portant organs, and hence have ever been found a certain remedy for the worse cases of Gravel. Also Worms by dislodging from the turnings of the bowels the slimy matter to which these creatures adhere; Asthma and Consumption, by relieving the air vessels of the lungs from the mucous, which even slight colds will occasion, which, if not removed becomes hardened, and produces those dreadful diseases. Scurvy Ulcers, and Inveterate Sores, by the perfect purity which these Life Pills give to the blood and all the humours Scor- butic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, by their alterative effects upon the fluids that feed the skin? the morbid state of which occasions all Eruptive (Complaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complexions. The use of these Pills for a very short time will effect an entire cure of Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, and a striking improvement in the Clearness of the Skin. Common Colds and Influenza will always be cured by one dose, or by two, even in the worst cases. Ililes-as a remedy for this most distressing and obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills deserve a distinct and emphatic recommendation. It is well known to hundreds in the city of New York, that the originator of these invaluable Pills was himself afflicted with this complaint for upwards of thirty-five years, and that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed within the whole compass of the Materia Medica. He, however, at length tried the medicine which is now offered to the public, and he was cured in a very short time, after his recovery had been pronounced not only improbable, but absolutely impos- sible, by any human means. The Life Medicine will never fail to eradicate entirely all the effects of Mercury, infinitely sooner than the most powerful preparations of Sarsaparilla, and will immediately cure the determination of BLOOD TO THE HEAD; never fail in the sickness iticident to young females; and will be found a certain remedy in all cases of nervous debility and weakness of the most impaired constitutions. The PHOENIX BITTERS are sold in bottles at 4s. 6d. and 9s. each; and the LIFE PILLS in boxes at Is. lid., 2s. 3d., and 4s. 6d. each. SOLE AGENTS. White, Chymist, Carmarthen- WILSON, Chymist, SWANSEA.

Extract oj a Letter from John Martin,Esq., Chronicle" Office, Tobago, West litdies:- February 4th, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. Sir,—I beg to inform you that the inhabitants of this Island, especially those who cannot afford to employ medical gentlemen, are very anxious of having your astonishing Medicines within their reach, from the im- mense benefits some of them have derived from their use, as they have been found here, in several cases, to cure Sores and Ulcers of the most malignant and des- perate kind. One gentleman in this Island, who had, I believe, about fifty running ulcers about his legs, arms, and body, who had tried all other Medicines before the arrival of yours, but all of which did him no good; but yours cured him in about six weeks, and he is now, by their means alone, quite restored to health and vigour. (Signed) JOHN MARTIN. PILES, FISTULAS, AND BEAIIINGS-DOWN. A remarkable Cure by these Pills and Ointment.—A j half-pay lieutenant, lately residing at St. Heliers, Jersey, whose name by request is omitted, had for three years suffered from piles an d fistula, besides a general bearing down, of the most distressing nature. He had twice undergone an operation, but to no purpose, and at last gave himself up to despair. Yet, notwithstanding this complication of complaints, togeUier with a debilitated constitution, he was completely cured of all his infir- mitics and restored to the full enjoyment of health by these justly renowned medicines, when every other means had failed. Extraordinary Cure in the West Indies, of Leprosy and other direful skin diseases. June 3rd, 1844. Mr. Lewis Recdon, of Georgetown, Demerara, writes under the above date—that Hollowav Is Pills and Oint- ment have cured bad legs that no doctor could manage, ulcers and sores that were of the most dreadful descrip- tion, as likewise leprosy, blotches, scales and other skin diseases of the most frightful nature, and that the cures effected there by these wonderful medicines are so nume- rous and extraordinary as to astonish the whole population. Cancered Breast.- A Wonderful Circumstance. Copy of a Letter from Richard Bull, Bootmaker, Tatton, near Southampton. "February 9th, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,—The Lord has permitted to be wrought a wonderful cure of Cancers or Abscesses, of twelve years' standing, in my wife's breast. In the latter part of the time, eleven wounds were open at once. The Faculty declared the case as past cure, several pieces of bone had come away, and I expected that my poor wife would soon have been taken from jnc. It was then that a friend recommended the use of your Pills and Ointment, which to our utter astonishment, in the space of about three months, healed up the breast as soundly as ever it was in her life. I shall ever remain Your most grateful and obedient servant, (Signed) RICHARD BULL." WTieezing on the Chest and Shortness of Breath. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Jeremiah Casey, No. 1, Compton-place, Compton-slreet, Brunswick-square, London, April 25th, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,—I beg to inform you that I believe I had been for more than three years, one of the greatest sufferers in the world with Chronic Asthma. For weeks together my breath was frequently so short that I was afraid every moment of being choked with phlegm. I never went into a bed very often, indeed, I have been obliged to pass the night without being able to recline sufficiently to lay my head on a table, lest I should be suffocated. No one thought I should live over the winter, nor did I expect it myself; but I am happy to say that I am now able to work from morning to night, and that I sleep as well as, ever I did in my life and this miracle (I may say) was effected by rubbing your invaluable Ointment twice a day into my chest, and taking ten of your Pills at bed-time, and ten again in the morning, for about three months. (Signed) JEREMIAH CASEY. In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds- and Ulcers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers, Tumours, Swellings, Gout, Rheu- matism, and Lumbago, likewise in cases of Piles; Holloway's I ) ills, in all the above cases, ought to be used with the Ointment; as by this means cures will be effected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require by using the Ointment alone. The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Moschettoes, Sand-flies, Chiego-foot, Yaws, and Coco-bay, and all skin Diseases, common to the East and West Indies, and other tropical climes. Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the use of the Ointment.

Mr. CLARKE still continues to supply the loss of teeth, from one to a complete set, upon his beautiful system of self-adhesion, which has procured him such universal approbation in some thousands of cases; and recom- mended by Sir James Clark, bart., M.D., and Dr. Locock, Physicians to Her Majesty, and numerous other mem- -tn d numerous ot h er meni- bers of the medical profession, as being the most in- genious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented. They are so contrived, as to adapt themselves over the most tender gums or remaining stumps without causing the least pam, rendering the operation of ex- traction quite unnecessary and in order that his system may be within the reach of the most economical, he will continue the same moderate charges.-—Mr. Clarke.

REVIEWS OF THE WOLLK. Mr. La"Niert, eing- a regularly educated member of. 'Jle medical profession, and possessed of the highest qualifications, is a strong inducement alone to recommend his work to the perusal of all who feel interested in such matters, for it is a subject of M much importance to the moralist as to the me- dical practitioner; and it really is surprising to s(' that nothing worthy of notice is to lie found on a matter so im- portant in the various writings of standard authors. This cir- cumstance appears remarkable and unaccountable, when ex- perience has shown that local weaknesses and imperfections, either hereditary or acquired, constitute the great majority, perhaps nine-tenths of the causes of nervousness, mental imbecility, and constitutional weakness. We must confess we are astonished at the extent of human suffering, anxiety, and misery which is pourtrayed in this work, as emanating from peculiar causes, which are not less ruinous, because they are not supposed to exist, Uniortunatt'Iy, there is a false de- licacy and a false refinement in the present age, which rather seeks to gloss over immorality than to combat and subdue it.

Unquestionably this is the most extraordinary and skilful work of the kind ever written. It breathes, throughout, a higii tone of moral feeling, and ought to be extensively cir- culated; for it is quite evident that there are peculiar habits acquired at public schools and private seminaries, which are totally unknown and concealed from the conductors of those establishments, and which cannot be too strongly reprobated and condemned. The author has taken up the subject in a masterly and perspicuous style; and being written by a duly qualified medical practitioner, W11.1 doubtless be the means of saving many a youth, as well as those of mature age, from the various evil consequences resulting from such indiscretion'.

THE TERRITORY OF OREGON.-…
THE TERRITORY OF OREGON.- I ( From a recent American pamphlet.) I Oregon is a vast stretch of territory lying on the North-West Coast of North America. It is bounded on the West by the Pacific Ocean on the North by lati- tude 54 deg. 40 mif1( on the East by the Rocky Moun- tains and on the South by the forty-second parallel. This geographical arrangement separates the coast into three grand divisions—That below the forty-second parallel being claimed by Mexico; the section lying between 42 deg. and 54 deg. 40 min., belonging to the United States and all above the last named northern limit being assumed by the Russian Crown—thus shut- ting out Great Britain from any inch of western seaboard territory. The whole of this immense central region is nine hundred and sixty miles in length. Its breadth along its northern boundary is about five hundred mijes, and widening gradually with the south-easterly cpurse of the Rocky Mountains, it stretches about seven hundred miles along its southern line. Its whole area may therefore be computed at four hundred thousand square miles. As an agricultural country, Oi-vgon is of no 'great present importance to a nation having cohtfguousleagues on leagues of'land, yielding the same products nearer at home, the^jjundant fertility of wfiieli has never yet been challCwpPW^Kftfe .hut. as a coru-. mercial avenue to the wealthof The Indies "the riches of the Pacific, its value is incalculable. In any view, whether agricultural or commercial; the advantages and value of this territory depend upon the easiness of its approach from the States, and any means that are adopted to facilitate this inter-commu- nication will, according to their degrees of efficiency, proportionably advance its destiny. Nature has already contributed to the desired object, more liberally, in the country under consideration, than to the same extent of any other portion of the globe. From the Missouri to the Rocky Mountains, spreads a plain scarcely broken by a hillock through that stupendous ridge gapes a pass presenting no discouraging opposition to heavily laden waggons with single teams, and from its western side the banks of the Saptin lead the traveller safely through to the navigable waters of the Columbia. The time required for the journey, by the present mode of travelling, is from three to four months but though this might suffice for the gradual drain of a surplus population, it will not meet the new designs which the full possession of this land of promise opens to us. One of these designs is the same which has agitated the commercial world since the discovery of this conti- nent-a direct route to India—and it is now happily within our reach and accomplishment, by means of a railroad.
THE MINISTRY REDIVIVUS.I
THE MINISTRY REDIVIVUS. [From the Atlas.] Turning from a review of the past to the prospects of the future, the anxious inquiry is how Sir Robert Peel, Prime Minister once more, proposes to deal with the Corn-law, in the sense of repeal, to the concurring con- tent of league and landlords ? It is hard to have two masters and to serve both on equal conditions of mu- tual satisfaction harder still. There is the possibility that the agricultural master might bolt the dose of repeal from the hands of Sir Robert Peel, his old confidential steward, rather than from any less trusted serving man. There is also the probability, judging from the evident tendency of Mr. Cobden's speeches, that the league would he loth to accept repeal from him on any terms that, in fact, there is a lurking jealousy of the Premier covert since his reported enrolment in the ranks of repeal, for fear he should take the shine" out of the league leaders, and, by carrying repeal himself, leave the league without a vocation. If these inferences seem somewhat uncharitable, we have only to say they are amply warranted, as they are suggested, by the ill- disguised soreness and splenetic escapades of league orators. But, even were they ever 30 disposed, the time is past when they could either stop the great machine first set and still kept in motion by league power, or fix a drag on the wheels. The people now stand seized of the question of Corn-laws, and have made it their own. So that the popular will be worked out, they care little, in truth, whether Sir Robert, Lord John, or Mr. Cobden be the name or the password of action and success- -the latter for choice, perhaps, from grateful reminiscence. That Sir Robert Pcel should propose a total, imme- diate, and unconditional repeal" of the Corn-law it is impossible to believe it is more than the moderate would desire, or intelligent Liberals deem practically ipolitie,. if possible. But that abolition will be the scope, and finally the consummation, bf the measure he has matured, and will have to propound before an unwilling Parliament, we reckon to be past all doubt, We referred in our last number (and on a former oc- casion we distinctly discussed the probabilities before the reports were born) to a rumoured policy of compen- sation, by which the heavy blow and great discourage- ment" of a repeal of the Corn-law to the landed interest might be rendered more light if not more innocuous. Their case is not devoid of claims to consideration, and as such, should not be undeserving the consideration, nor deprived of the sympathies of the stateman or the legis- lator. We cannot place faith, however, in the report that the Premier contemplates carrying Poor-law ex- penditure to the account of the consolidated fund, for many and divers reasons of sufficient weight, of which the financial objection need now only be referred to. That the malt-tax is doomed with the Corn-law we may be well assured perhaps, also, highway, church, and county rates. That income and property tax will be surcharged to make up the deficit, seems an unavoidable result, but to double it merely would not redeem the deficit bv much more than ten shillings in the pound. Six per cent, instead of three, would yield only about nine millions sterling per annum, assuming the tax to be proportionately productive in its compound as in its simple state. But the deficit to be made up, would stand thus in round numbers, and approximate values Malt-tax above. £ 5,000,000 Poor-law expenditure. 6,000,000 Highway, county, and church rates, say at a rude guess. 4,000,000 Total £ 15,000,000 We shall not stop to enquire by what other financial combinations, or fiscal imposts, such a de&ciency of re- venue could be brought up to a balance, because we cannot think it possible that Poor-law expenditure can be carried to the account of a fund which has scarcely the smallest surplus, and could only be reinforced to the extent by more onerous taxation still.

PARRICIDE.—A cottager named Ralph Joicey, residing on the Duke of Portland's property at Cockle-park, near Morpeth, Northumberland, has been fully committed to take his trial for having wilfully murdered his father by the administration of arsenic. RATHER PUNGENT.—We understand that the Dukes of Norfolk & Richmond, since the currypotcder plot, are styled by the Sussex labourers, Friends at a pinch." NEWSPAPER AccoUN rs.Soine people have a horror of housebreakers. A strong fellow in a fustian jacket, with a piece of crape over his face, and a pistol in his hand is certainly a disagreeable visitor to a country gentleman in the middle of a dark night in December; the hoarse whisper conveying a delicate allusion to your money-bags or your life, is far from a pleasing method of carrying on a conversation and therefore without descending to any more minute particulars, and pluming myself upon any personal immunity from such visitations 011 the score of having no house, I agree at once tkat a housebreaker is a detestable character, and worthy of all condemnation.—A murderer, also, I am not prepared 1 to vindicate. A knife f. rcu into the stomach of an elderly gentleman in a half sleepy state after a bottle of old port-a razor drawn across a beautiful barmaid's ttiroat-or a bullet scientifically inserted through the ear-hole of a deaf old lady secreting her half year's dividend in a black trunk in the garret—are disagreeable objects of contemplation to the philanthropic mind and L therefore at once coincide in the fervent execration in which a murderer is held by every person I have ever conversed with on the subject, except the students of anatomy, and two or three popular authors of the conclusive school. But there is another miscreant, for whom I have no commiseration a wretch, compared with whose atrocities, housebreaking becomes merito- rious, and murder innocent; before whose negro-like blackness—to borrow the language of Charles Phillips- the darkness of annihilation becomes white as snow; whose benediction is a curse whose breath is a pesti- letice whose name is hell over whose sunless memory shall settle the conflagration of a fury, and whose soul shall shudder beneath the appalling convulsions of a fa- thomless doom for ever. After this description need I. say that I mean the unhallowed monster who neglects to pay his Newspaper Bill.—Correspondent of Black t9vod's Magazine. PIRACY.—It is well known that Messrs. Rowland and Son. have. by a series of labouring and highly-successful experiments, succeeded in discovering and preparing for the Toilet, articles which have obtained a universal re- putation all over the world. Some vile and unprincipled imitators, destitute alike of honour and talent, have conceived the nefarious idea of fabricating articles, so closcly resembling in appearance those of Messrs. Row- land as to require a somewhat careful observation to de- tect the difference. The objects consist of pernicious and injurious compounds, which are offered to the pub- lic under the name of Macassar Oil for the Hair, or Kalydor for the Complexion articles which, as prepared by Messrs. Rowland, are universally preferred and es- teemed. The only mode for the purchaser to avoid the imposition, and escape the baneful effects which the vile counterfeits will infallibly produce, is to inspect, with great care, the bottles and labels, and to ascertain that they bear the actual Signature of Messrs. Rowland and Sons.— No others arc genuine.
DREADFUL CALAMITY.
DREADFUL CALAMITY. (From the LiverpootMercury.) It is seldom we have been called upon to detail the circumstances of a more disastrous and melancholy event than that we are now about to place on record, as it has been attended by not only a great sacrifice of human life, but a vast amount of property. What renders it still more appalling is the fact that the un- fortunate parties who constitute the sufferers are indi- viduals moving in the humble ranks of society; and even those whose lives have been miraculously preserved have been deprived, not only of a place of shelter, but of all they possessed in the shape of furniture or' clothing. The premises where the fatal occurrence originated, are known as the Liverpool and Harrington Water- works, and run from Sussex-street, down Water-street, to Roch-street. The works are very extensive, com- prising various buildings necessary for carrying on the operations of the company, and on the west side was a large iron tank, capable of holding about 250,000 gallons of watejf. It was 25 yards in length, of proportionate breadth, and 19 feet in depth, and adjoined some small Ileuses on ona^side of Rock-street, occupied principally by working people. It appears the fank was constructed for the Waterworks Company, by the proprietors of the Hawarden Foundry, in Wales, and had only been finished a few days ago. On Friday Illorning-severnl of the<"W*e« eonaecttKl W,wh the works attended for the purpose of filling the tank, and the filling was continued up to half-past 1 o'clock, at which time it was about two-thirds full," when the event took place which we are about to describe. From a statement we obtained from one of the sufferers, named Simpson, it appears that he was sitting down to dinner with his wife in an upper room, when he heard a loud noise, which he could only compare to the roar of artillery, and immediately afterwards, before he had time to recover hinjself, the house seemed Tent asunder, as if by some corifulsive-slwcli; the fron t awl back walls of the building fell with^a^ramf ndous crash, carrying chairs, beds, and other articles of furniture along with them into the street, and himself and wife were protrasted on the floor. Ttley succeeded^how- ever, by the assistance of parties below, in reaching the ground in safety. By this time it was ascertained that the tank belonging to the works had burst, and th:. houses and other buildings adjacent were rapidly filling. with water. Even in the strcets some persons were up to the middle, and pieces of timber, articles of furniture, &c., were being carried rapidly away by the force of the stream. Such was its impetuosity, that several large pieces of wood were seen floating down Iliil-street, as though driven by the current of a rapid river. The house next- to the one we have been speaking of was occupied by a family named Deveney, and here the work of destruction was carricd to a fearful extent, nearly the whole of the family being buried in the ruins of their habitation. Deveney, with his son and daughter in-law, were got out with great difficulty, as were also I several others who lodged with them. The parties were immediately conveyed to the Northern Hospital, several with legs and arms broken, but all more or less in, jured. A woman named Catherine Gibson who lived as ser- vant at Mr. Porter's public-house, Rock-street, went into the cellar to draw some beer, when a torrent of water rushed in, and filling the cellar overwhelmed her. She was taken out shortly afterwards quite dead. No sooner had the accident been made known than a body of the police force, together with some other men under the direction of Mr. Dowling, were set to work at the ruins, with the view of clearing away the rubbish, and, if possible, extricating several unfortunate individuals who were said to be missing; and we need scarcely add, that they performed the task nobly, one or two sufferers being taken out of the ruins, who, but for the praiseworthy efforts of these men, would undoubtedly have lost their lives. Amongst others were two or three children, who were injured, although not se- riously. After a considerable portion of thc loose timber and materials had been cleared away, a strict search was made in a cellar under Devenvy's house, and near the first-place was found the body of a child, but owing to the features being so much disfigured by bruises, it could not at that time be recognized. The body was conveyed to a public house in the neighbourhood. Near the same spot the body of a woman was shortly afterwards discovered. Several persons having stated that they observed signs of life, she was conveyed to the Southern Iiospital it was however, ascertained on her arrival there that she was quite dead. The whole of the houses in Rock-street were more or less inj ured by the water forcing itself into the founda- tions, which was nfit astonishing when the weight of water is considered. It appears that the tank burst, as it were, simultaneously, two of the sides separating asunder, portions of which were found in the company's yard. Two men belonging to the works, Davies, en- gineer, and Owen, a fireman, and also a boy were severely inj ured by some building materials which struck them while on duty at the works. Mr. James Lawrence, chairman of the watch com- mittee, was in.. attendance shortly after the accident, and rendered essential service; and too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. Dowling, Superintendents Quick, Leverett, and Inspector Thompson, for their efforts in trying to extricate the unfortunate sufferers who were buried beneath the ruins. An old lady who lived in the house occupied by Simpson (or Smith) is said to be missing; but up to 10 o'clock on Monday evening, although the workmen con- tinued their operations in clearing away the rubbish, no traces of her had been discovered. Since writing thc above, we have again visited the scene of desolation, and a more heart-rending one it has seldom been our lot to witness. Crowds are throng- ing to the spot, and this dreadful calamity seems to have spread a gloom over the whole town-to have damped the joyousness and hilarity of this usually festive season. The first shock, which is described as resemlJling a. clap of thunder, seems to have been heard about a quar- ter before 2 o'clock, and was immediately followed by a lesser one, more resembling the noise of heavy waggons. The first, there is no doubt, was the bursting of the im- mense tank, and the second the falling of the ruins. We can easily imagine the degree of consternation by which all the inhabitants of the neighbourhoood were suddenly overwhelmed. The loud roaring, as of thun- der, followed by the deluge of water and tumbling frag- ments of the houses in which they lived, whilst they themselves were thrown prostrate to the ground, must have brought to the minds of the victims more forcibly than ever the idea of the final consummation of all things. In fact, to a late hour last evening the people had scarcely recovered the full possession of their con- sciousness the dreadful scene they had witnessed, and their miraculous preservation, whilst some of their neighbours had been less fortunate, seemed to have an overpowering effect upon their minds. The houses which have suffered most are those occu- pied by Deveney and Smith. In fact, they have been completely riddled. The back wall has been swept clean through the apartments, on the first and second stories of each house, carrying with it the whole of the furniture and front wall into Rock-street. The tank was at the back of these two houses, and, being raised upon brick work to the height of about twelve feet, was on a level with the second stories of the houses. The foundation of the public-house of Mr. Porter, which stands at the corner of Rock-street, has with the im- mense flood of water sunk considerably. Mr. Berry's house has also sunk, and both have been so much shat- tered by being undermined by the water, that it is ex- pected they will have to be pulled down. Mr. Porter had a very narrow escape. As soon as he lieai d the crash, and found the water gushing into his house, he seized his children and ran to the door, but the street was so flooded that he dared not leave the house. His cellar was immediately filled with water, and Catherine Gibson, the aged woman who lost her life, was attending, it appears,tothecookingofthedinner. The yard of the water works presents a Juined as- pect. The strong massive iron of which the tank was made seems to have been shivered, if we may so speak, to atoms. Pieces of it were forced through the houses into Rock-street 011 the one side, and nearly into Sussex street on the other, whilst the bricks were strewn about in all directions. One ponderous piece of the tank had fallen into the yard, at a considerable distance from where it was originally placed but, in general, it was spread about, comparatively speaking, in small portions. Even the gate was torn from its hinges by the severity of the shock. The house of Mr. French, so far as we could learn, has suffered less than the others. The property belongs to Mr. Jones, of the firm of Jones and Jump, contractors and it is but justice to Mr. Jones to say that he did all he could to mitigate the sufferings of the poor people, by otfering them the use of one of his empty houses in the neighbourhood, where, at least, their property would be protected. Persons who saw the torrent of waters rushing down the streets, describe it as like a river, when it came down Water-street into Chester-street, and thence down Hill-street. The streets were so thoroughly swamped ihat the stones were scoured out of them. Six men and a woman are now lying dangerously in- jured in the Southern and Toxteth Hospital.
