THE CATASTROPHE AT HOLM

FIR FIL

HOLDIFIRTII, SATURDAY.--V.'e p lid a second visit to
the scene of this appalling disaster yesterday. In the
morning the streets were in ninny parts impassable,
owing to heaps of wreck. The weather was compara-
tively fine, and a genial sunshine lent, at intervals, its
aid to mark more distinctly the fearful desolation around.
Thousands of visitors arrived during the day per raif-
way to explore the valley, and learn for themselves the
melancholy character of this sad disaster; and the whole
route from Holmfirth to the reservoir, a distance of three
miles, was thronged with pedestrians and parties in ve-
hicles. Never on any occasion was the romantic valley
of the Holm° trod by so many visitors, and although
some of the groups might by their merriment appear to
be unmindful of the sorrowing thousands in that once
happy and peaceful valley, yet from the countenances of
people generally it was easy to perceive that a deep
sympathy for the sufferers pervaded their minds; and
that reduced as the wreck had been since the previous
day, enough remained to fill the beholders with as-
tonishment and awe.

The day being fine, afforded a favourable opportunity
for a more minute examination of the Bilberry reser-
voir than could previously be made. In addition to the
description before given of this reservoir, it may be ne-
cessary to give some little further explanation of its
form and structure. It is a natural valley, formed by
three high mountain bluffs, in a forked shape; the two
streams which supply the reservoir unite at the short
point in the centre, and then form one stream down to
llolm,-bridge. The reservoir is formed by damming up
the stream by an immense embankment, which crosses it
lower down. It is this embankment which has given
way, and, with the exception of a little on each side, it
is swept away almost to the base. The base covers a
large space, and if well made with proper material,
would appear likely to sustain an immense pressure;
but, to our unprofessional eye, the bulk of the material
looked more like sand and rubbish than anything else.
This embarkment sloped from the centre elevation,
which is sixty feet, down to the bed of the stream, on
each side, and its surface appeared to have been paved
with stones like a street.
I❑ a conversation with a workman employed at Bil-
bery Mill, he stated that on the Wedneschy he became
alarmed about the embankment, for besides being leaky
i❑ places, the heavy rains had so filled the reservoir that
the water overflowed the topmast part of the embank-
ment. If this be so, it is probable that the upper part
of the embankment being less firmly puddled than the
base, it has first given way, and then the remainder of
the embankment has been borne down by the gathering
force of the water behind. This is a matter which calls
for inquiry, as the water should not on any account have
been allowed to gather to such a dangerous height.
The Town-gate in Holmfirth is still partially blocked
up with wreck, but considerable progress has been made
in clearing the principal thoroughfares, which are much
more passable than yesterday. An engine-boiler still
blocks up ono of the arches of the bridge, and loose,
carders, timber, trees, and furniture, are still heaped up
together.

The Town-hall is used for the reception of property
recovered from various parts of the locality. The low
rooms are quite filled with bales of wool, pieces of cloth,
machinery, and other articles, from which men are en.
gaged in clearing the mud. The reeideut magistrates,
Joe. Charlesworth, Esq., Wm. Lee Brook, Esq., and
Joshua Moorhouse, Esq., have been sitting all day at the
Tumor.-hall, to take charge of any valuables that may
turn up, and render every assistance in their power.
These gentlemen within an hour after the sad catas-
trophe,,met together in a dwelling-house, and at five
o'clock adjourned to the Town-hall. To-day they have
been joined by Mr. George Armitage and Mr. Jos.
Armitage, from Huddersfield. They have sworn in a
number of special constables, and taken other necessary
measures for protecting any property which may be re-
covered on the line of wreck, toad for rendering such
assistance to the sufferers as they are able. Yesterday
afternoon Thomas Mallinson. Esq„ the constable of
Huddersfield, accompanied by Messrs. William Willans,
Isaac Hobson, and Charles Hirst, brought in a large
quantity of wearing apparel, which they left with the
magistrates for the use of those who are left entirely
destitute of clothing. There are a great many persons
in this predicament, and we are requested to say that
parties from a distance who can spare articles of cloth-
ing will render a real service to the distressed by for-
warding it to the magistrates.
The guardians of the poor have also been conferring
with some of the principal inhabitants as to the course
they ought to pursue in this emergency, when so many
are left entirely penniless, and who, it is to be feared,
cannot for some time again find employment in the mills
which have been damaged. The guardians is such a
case as this should deal liberally with the applicants for
relief, and no doubt they will do so.
While on this part of the subject, we wish to put the
public upon their guard against impostors—persons who
are already going about asking relief for sufferers with-
out any authority for so doing. A public meeting is to
be held this evening for the purpose of raising a public
subscription for the sufferers, which we cannot doubt
will bo most generally and liberally responded to by
the public. In due course properly appointed persons
will be authorised to receive donations; and in the mean
time any of the magistrates mentioned above will be
glad to receive anything which parties may wish to
contribute.

Since the catastrophe a considerable length of wall,
supporting an embankment at the railway station, has
fallen down, owing to the injury received by the water.
On examining some of the houses and buildings par-
tially thrown down, we found them to be any thing but
solid. They are built generally of stone got in the
locality, and put together in irregular pieeeF, the in-
terstices being filled up with loose pieces of all siz9s.
These walls may be very firm from their thickness, but
judging from their structure, they strike us as being just
the sort of walling likely to be damaged by a flood of
water.

Again referring to the destruction of life, we may
state that altogether 62 bodies have been recovered.
Mr. Heaton, the superintending constable of the dis-
trict, who has been incessantly at work making inquiries,
states that, so far as yet can be ascerata:ned, one hun-
dred and two persons altogether are missed, conse-
quently forty have not yet been found. It is probable
that a number will be found under the ruins of the houses
thrown down, so soon as the materials can be removed.
These sixty bodies, which have been viewed by the
coroner's jury, are lying at different public-houses, and
some of them have not yet been identified, perhaps
never will, in consequence of the mutilation they have
undergone.

We -annex an account of the

tion of the work they had been doing over again. He
did not intend to go to into the evidence on that day, as
be did not consider that the public mind was at present
prepared for it, neither was it possible that the evidence
required in the caie could be brought before them in so
short a time. What he proposed to do was, to have
the
reservoir examined by some competent engineer, with a
view to ascertaining whether there were any defects in
its construction from which this catastrophe might ha"
arisen, and also whether the rules and instruction
by the engineer had been attended to. sgiven

THE COUNTR'r MARKETS
LIVERPOOL, FEE. 7.—Prices to-day are unchanged, and
the business small.
MANCHESTER, FEB 7.—During the present week the
trade in all its branches has ruled inactive, without alteration
in prices. With the exception of about 12,000 barrels of flour
from the United States, the arrivals from all quarters at Li-.
verpool and Runcorn continue on a very moderate scale. 1"
our market this morning a very lifeless feeling prevailed, but
,
holders remaining tolerably firm in their pretensions the few
transactions whic occurred in any article were at rates vary-
ing little, if any, from those current on this day se'nnight.
.NOTTINGIIAII, FEB. 7.—Yesterday, at Derby, the attend'
ante was small, sod but little bhsiness was done in either %heat
or barley, but whatever was disposed of fully realised last
week's rates. Oats were firm. Beans the turn dearer.
Wheat, red, 41s to 46s per 36 stone ; white, 50s to 525. Bar-

derable show of samples, but business to only a moderate ex'
tent was done, the demand not being so active as at two"
three previous markets. For grain of all descriptions, he"
ever, the prices of last week were fully maintained, and beans
and oats were a shade dearer. Wheat, white, 47s to 5.2 s ; red,
4's to 475. Barley for malting, 30s to 34s ; for grinding; 24!
to 273. Oats, lis to 27s ; Beans, 28s to 365. We had a good
supply of wheat and barley at our own market to-day; in
both the trade was dull and limited, hut last week's PrAi lces„
were made for good samples. Oats were in demand, anu
