AWFUL CALAMITY.—Six. LIVES LOST.—DERBY,
PuEsDay.—An accident of a very awful character has
just occurred here. A few weeks ago the Town Council
and Commissioners of the borough agreed to arch over
the Glii.ting mill-brook, in the Morledge, with the view
of adding a large plot of land to the Cattle Market.
Accordingly, a Mr. Sims entered into a contract to carry
out the extensive work, in connexion with the large
sower just completed, at a great expense to the town.
The works were commenced a few weeks back, and one
portion of the arch over the brook completed, all but
removing the centres. About eight o'clock this morning
Mr. Sims's labourers commenced removing the centres,
and whilst in the act of taking away the last prop, the
whole mass of material fel in, burying the unfortunate
men in the ruins. News of the sad calamity was soon
in all parts of the town, and thousands of people rushed
to the spot. Every possible exerton was made to re-
move the materials, but from the immense quantity
‘T hiCh bad fallen (the arch being an expansive one), this
was a work of some time, notwithstanding there was no
lack of willing hands. The first body found was that of
the contractor's son-in-law, and as the mangled remains
were disentombed, a thrill of horror passed through the
immense crowd. Six dead bodies, all of them more or
less mutilated, have been extricated, and the labour of
removal was still going on, though it is supposed that all
the bodies had been found. The melancholy event bas
cast a gloom upon the town. It is supposed that the
centres of the arch were removed too early, the late
heavy rains having prevented the materials " setting "
sufficiently firm to allow of the taking away the centres.
A NEW SPECIES OF TEMPERANCE. A new
species of temperance society (a provisional one, how-
ever) has just been formed at Cernay (Haut-Rihn). The
beer-drinkers have entered into a pledge with each
other not to drink a drop of their favourite liquor until
the brewers return to the old usage of making it with-
out any other ingredient than malt and hops and water.
They have appointed a committee in each canton to
taste the beer offered for sale, admitting that which they
timid gkuuine, and rejecting all other.
