FALL OF A VIADUCT. tor
LIVERPOOL, MARCH 4.—Yesterday an aceidtioo
curred on the Liverpool and Bury Railway of 5„,7401:
nature to the builder, but without loss of life.
one arches of the Liverpool viaduct fell, one of Ir,
other, with a tremendous crash, the noise of viu.
sembled the discharge of as many pieces of artillerlioil
was heard for more than a mile off. The site °Oil
disastrous destruction of property is about two 4s'
from the Liverpool Exchange • and the \arches:or
northernmost of which were so far completed 04;.,,
of the centerings being withdrawn a few days 110,'
others having been completed three months sg" 0,
built entirely of brick. It is not yet known be/ to" cot 4
that the first arch which fell gave way, but it 15.441'„
that each buttress afterwards, incapable of bes37,o
weight of the arch reared upon it, when tl2o_lol/'
other side had fallen, was forced outwards imillTpolf,
the entire destruction of the whole being comPliofu'i
about the space of a minute and a half from the to- oil
first. Symptom of its def.' ctiveness were, we uode,radifil,
first manifested on Saturday last ; but whether pot-0,0;
from any sinking in the foundation of either buttr el 4
from defective workmanship or materials in the arch loco
was not known. It had been condemned, and ineccsreis
about to be taken to shore it up and secure the butt ibo
in order that it might be rebuilt. It is possiblietd°l
this work would have been so far performed Yes for°
as to have prevented the accident, had it not been oir
heavy fall of rain driving all the men away froniogl'
work. This was so far fortunate, that no person bAe
ever bas sustained the least personal injury, th°llhog leg
regret to say that the loss of property cannot .ilOtOj'
than 5,0001. or 6,0001. The span of the arch
gave way was, we are informed, about 35 feet,
bad. fo ,
the others was thirty feet. They were constrack—,6
Messrs. M'Cormiek, the contractors for this portw."o
the line, by Messrs. Bullock and Evans, and all tba4oo
wanting to their completion was the erection of a Pe b 0
of the parapets. Another viaduct, near that which afoi
fallen, is being erected by Messrs. Holme, after tbOtb'eit
plan, and as these gentlemen are so eminent 10
tioco
business, it is a proof that the plan for the via ffiJi
cannot be insufficient. It is not improbable that the, of
of these arches might have resulted from the sinliiitoce
the foundation of one of the buttresses, in conectltlifo
of the severe winter, or that the mortar in the def!"00
arch had been prevented fromsetting sufficiently by
late heavy rains.
