MISSING.-SUPPOSED TO BE KILLED.

15. Ann Hulme, of Henshaw-street, Priest Hill ;
a twister ; 26 years of age ; has left a widower
(Ralph Huline, a power-loom jobber) and one child.
16. Hannah Slater, Rhodes Field; a twister;
aged 26 years • has left a widower and two children.
17. Elizabeth Smethurst, of North Moor; a
twister; aged 26 years; unmarried, but she has left
a child.

18. James Kershaw, of Lower Moor (brother of
'No. 8); a drawer- in ; aged. 30 years; has left a
widow and four children.

19. William Whitehead, of Lower House or Fou.
leach; an engineer; aged 25 years; unmarried.
20. Sarah Watmough, of Lower House; a twister
aged 26 years; has left a widower and three children
21. Ann. Ashton, of Priest-hill ; age not ascer.
tained ; unmarried, and a sister to John Ashton, shoe
maker.

It would thus appear, that at the time our re-
porter left, about one o'clock yesterday, there were,
besides the fourteen persons known to be killed,
and whose hodies had been found, seven others
missing, being, in all probability, under the
ruins, and doubtless all dead, viz., two men and
seven females ; so that the total number of persons
who have lost their lives by this dreadful accident may
be stated to be twenty-one persons; twelve males and
nine females; of whom sixteen were upwards of
twenty years of age. Most of the bodies were fright-
fully crushed and mangled.
MAIMED AND OTHERWISE HURT.

Hannah Taylor; lived on the premises; a twister;
about sixty years of age; she received a compound
fracture of the leg, and is otherwise very much hurt;
it was apprehended that her shoulder was dislocated.
she mas the wife of No. 10, who is killed.
Betty Dearden, of Lower- house ; aged 40 years ;
a twister. She was got out about six o'clock on
Thursday evening, very much scalded and bruised;
she was taken from the top of the boiler. She is
married, and has several children.

William Mills, of Pipe Row, or North Moor; a
bi icklayer. He has received several cuts on the head,
and was on the roof when the building fell.
Mrs. Rayner, of Lower House; wife of the carter;
so much hurt hat she is not likely to recover; she
was going past the stables when the accident oc-
curred.

Joseph Travis, of North Moor; bricklayer; said
to be maimed.

'John Lee; of the Star Inn, Saddleworth, plasterer,
who was running out at the time ; cut in several
places, and much bruised about the head, neck, and
lack. He is a brother of Thomas Lees, plasterer,
who had a narrow escape from the sixth story.
Thomas Mellor, Higginshaw-lane, or Greenacres
Moor, a bricklayer; slightly hurt.
ESCAPED WITHOUT SERIOUS INJURY.

Joseph Mellor, of Dirt Car-lane, one of the en-
gineers; he was got out a few minutes after the
accident.

Robert Brierly, cf Greenacres Moor, a painter ;
his brush was struck from his hand by some of the
falling material.
John Rushworth, a painter.
Thomas Lees, of the Star Inn, Saddleworth,
plasterer.
John and Thomas Whitehead (brothers), of Man-
e} ester- street, nEllwrights.
Thomas Win ile, millwright.
James Whitworth, a stoker, who had a narrow
escape. He was mending the fire under the boilers,
in the fire-hole, below the ground-floor of the new
mill. Hearing a tremendous crash and fall above
him, he crept along the fire-hole, which is arched
under the yard, and in this way escaped unhurt.
It would be a vain attempt to endeavour to depict
the scene which ensued on the fall of the mill. The
hands in the old mill, about eight hundred in number,
quitted it immediately, and commenced working with
the greatest energy, to remove the mass of building
materials, and iron beams, pillars, &c., in order
to rescue any of the sufferers who might still sur-
vived. One or two were thus rescued more or less
hurt, and several bodies were also found; and, during

the afternoon and evening, twelve bodies were taken
from the ruins. On the first alarm, which, as may
be expected, spread rapidly throughout Oldham, hun-
dreds of anxious relatives, chiefly women, might be
seen hurrying towards the premises, in order to ascer-
tain if their relatives were amongst the sufferers.
Several surgeons of the neighbourhood were
promptly on the spot, and rendered every assist-
ance in their power. Amongst those mentioned
as being first, were Messrs. John Henshaw, Wilkin-
son, Enoch, Dunkerley, Rowntree, and Fawcett.
They inspected several of the bodies as they were
discovered, and pronounced that life was totally ex-
tinct. They also examined several of the living suf-
ferers, applied dressings to their injuries, and gave
directions as to their being conveyed home.
We understand that a subscription has been com-
menced already for the bereaved families, and also
for the living sufferers; and the authorities of Old-
ham have convened a public meeting for this, Saturday
evening, to promote this object. We understand
that there is some intention to propose the transfer to
this fund, of a considerable sum, report says 4001., the
balance of a subscription some years ago, for the suf-
ferers by the destruction of the Union Mill by fire.

MOLASSEEL-West India are held with firmness, and
the market is not largely supplied : a parcel of good
Antigua has been sold at 24s per cwt. East India

gal Treacle at 21s per cwt, duty paid.

425, old Patras 40s to 455, new Patras 48s to 50s; at the
latter prices sales have been made to-day : for old Mus-
catels there has been a good demand.
CocnINEAL.-Importers are still anxious sellers owing
to the continued large arrivals, and a further decline in
prices of Id per lb has taken place ; buyers have operated
with caution and of 157 bags Honduras at public sale
only two-thirds sold at 4s 2d to 4s 6d per lb for low to
good bold silvers.
SALTPETRE.-This afternoon the market was better
supplied with rough, and buyers wero less inclined to
do business: at public sale 224 bags of Madras, and 1,002
bags of Calcutta were offered, a part only found purchasers
at a decline on former rates of 6d for the better, and 6d to is
per cwt for low and mid qualities. Madras 61 per cent

white 8} per cent 25s 6d to 265, and unrefracted 22s ;
Madras 6;} per cent fine grey was taken in at 25s per cwt.
Irirdoo.-To- day there was less business doing in East
India Indigo in consequence of the accounts being
highly favourable for the crop ; the general estimates
are,140,000 to 150,000 ; some parties estimate it as high
as 160,000 maunds; half the crop had been secured in ex-
cellent condition.

OlLS.—There has been a large demand for Linseed
Oil this week at 23s 6d to 23s 9d per cwt on the spot,
and for forward delivery many purchases have been
made at similar rates ; the market is still well supplied
with Oil. Rape is not much wanted, and there are sellers
at 35s 6d to 36s for pale, and 34s Gd to 35s for brown.
For Cocoa Nut Oil 27s to 29s 6d per cwt is the value.
Palm 26s to 275. In Olive Oil there has been a good
business transacted—Gallipoli at 441 to 441105, Spanish
411 to 431, and Barbary, &c. 401 to 401 lOs per tun.
For common sorts of Fish Oils there are very few export
orders, and the demand has been limited from the home
trade : holders have experienced difficulty in ob-
taining 351 to 3515 s for pale Seal, 33/ for Cod, and 27/
to 32/10s per tun for low to fine Southern. The stock
of Seal Oil is not above half of what it was last year at
this period. In Southern there is little difference ;
arrivals of Cod are near at hand. With Sperm 881 to
901 per tun is the value of fine British.
TALLOW—lmporters of Russian have been more
inclined to realise this week, in consequence of there
having been large arrivals, and accepted prices 3d to 6d
per cwt under those previously quoted. On the spot,
however, there has been a good business trans-
acted, at 408 3d to 40s 6d for old, and at 40s 9d
to 41s per cwt for new Petersburgh yellow candle;
at these moderate rates some of the trade are inclined
to get well into stock. This afternoon at public sale
193 packages New South Wales Tallow were sold at
39s to 39s 6d, and 321 packages South American at
38s to 39s 6d per cwt.
