LATE HORRIBLE CATASTROP

are the following :-33 dead, three of whom were found on the

very severely wounded, and the rest saved; or at least feel
them very seriously hurt. The wounded in this establishin,el.,
were the most numerous, and, in general, the most severe"'
injured.
In the midst of this calamity it was, as we have already 'le,'
most consolatory to see the zeal and devotedness which even
one who came to the spot displayed. We have already star"
that a great number of citizens and public functionaries dis-
tinguished themselves by their activity. Assistance of this
kind came to us from all quarters to such an extent that "t"
cannot record the instances. Besides, it is not the notice ins
journal that can recompense such acts—it is only the self-saw'
tion of having done well. We must, however, not omit to own'

opened his house and placed all his linen, towels, and napkin,:

also placed everything at the disposal of the medical attendants'
The It nglish labourers employed on the Havre Railroad
eagerly hastened to give their assistance.
M. Dupont Delaporte arrived from Eu during the night.
He was vet y much fatigued by his journey, and was obliged to
go to rest. He rose, however, soon, and accompanied by M.
Touard, coun,ellor of the prefecture, visited all the points of the
disaster. He gave orders at the hotel to furnish everything far
the service of the unfortunate sufferers. Just as he got niu)4

sufferer, in their beds, and spoke to them with the greatest.
affection. Accompanied by Doctors Blanche and Hellot, be
visited all the private houses to which the wounded had bees
carried. He then visited the owners of the destroyed et
lablishments, and promised to interest the Government in theft
favour. He begged the Mayors of Malauney and Monville to
spare nothing lot the comfort of the suffereis, and told them he
would obtain the sanction of the Government for defraying "'t
the expenses. On his return to Rouen, he found a letter from
the Alirtistry, approving all his proceedings, and promising
prompt succour.
Subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers have been open
at Monville and all the neighbouring towns.
