CORNWALL. EXTRAORDINARY FLOOD AT TRIIRO.—On Wed 'today last, an extraordinary flood took place at Truro. Rain fell heavily daring the greater part of the day, and between 10 and 11 o'clock at night a vast accumalation of water cants down the river lienwya, and as the arches in River-street wen insufficient to carry it oil that street, the West-bridge and Bt. Nicholas-street become ovetflooded. The water con tinued to rise with great rapidity to tie extent of two feet in 10 minutes, until the houses in Bt. Nicholas street were filled with water en their basemcat stories, in some pAces to the depth of 4to 5 feet. The water reached above the e , untars ; ankle' efgrocery: drapery, and jewellery were washed about the shops ia all directions, and the damage sustained is caleu. lased to amount to some thousands of pounds. In the shop window of Mr. Edwards, the stationer, several panes of Iglus were broken, and by the force of the water the shut ! tars were lifted out cf their places. In other houses furniture was washed about and broken, and serious damage was done to different premises. Many p-rsons were called from their beds, and the flood rote so rapidly that women and children were amt to the upper rooms, it being feared that if they remained below they would be drowned. The water reached as far as the intrance to Mr. Parkyies shop in Bois eawenrstrcet, and a tent was use to convey some Gf the in habitants to their houses. After considerable damage had been dsne, the wall of a coach-house, connected with the Royal Hotel, was washed down, and three of Mr. Pearce's carriages were washed into the channel of the river. This of course helped to dam up the stream; and occasioned the deepening of the flied in places above it; two of the carriages were washed some distance down the river, the third was stopped by the arch of the bridge in Lftnion-street, and all three were much clamored. A house bed owing to Mrs. Whitford, at the back of Mr. Pownisog's pre mists, in Kenwyn-street, was washed down ; the party wall connected with the savings bank was much injured, and the arch near there over the river has sunk from the pressure of the water. In other puts of the town considerable damage was also done. At the bottom of sidnivesrlane the fiaod was very deep and violent. One house there was almost demolished, and another sea so much damaged that it has become nearly a rules. At this spot upwards of twenty parsons, most st them children, were in imminent clinger of their lives, hut fortunat ly ty the exertions of people who came to their awiatance they were extricated In m their peril ins position. Not tar from tnis place a garden wall was washers down, and the poor people living in the heuers sustained much loss by their fund ore being injured, a lose which they can hut ill of -l. In Old Bri ge street tle• arches were insufficient `is carry off the flood, which overran the street near the br Tige to a considerable depth, and such war the force of the r underneath, that a large Meek of granite, forming one of the supporters of the hridgo, w:is ' broken down, aril had others given way the bridge end thl 81. 51ery'ssiool-root above it most have been eadai•gsred: Tree houses near Tregolls were Woo flooded with water. A great deal of dainar• to peipirty hu been occasioned in all the lower parts of the town, the Rood having been greater than any that has preciously occurred at Truro within the memory of man. Every inhabitant of the lower part of the town, near the river, has sustains gre ter or less loss. Some bargee woofed ..ear the Nast Bridge had from • wenty to thirty tons of coal. was••ed out of them. Fortunately the tide was at ebb, and tile fresh water had the whole channel to run in below the bridge • ; had it been high water at the time of this oecurrena, the whole of B ace:wen-street and the adjacent ports of the town must have been flooded. tee water in the lower pars at the town wouli have been deepened, and the hers of property must have peen increased to a Earful extent. A report existcl in the town that the flood was occasioned by the sluices being closed, but this does not appear to Lace beca the Ult. LITERAI ORE.

Whatever the ordinary reader may think of the in trinsic worth of the above mini trinity of sciences, he cannot but see that they have acquired a terrible in terest from the fact of their being the übjecte of study to the millions of lvanan beings who compose the lower classes of civilised Europe. They are the sciences of the e,),-Itless Proletarians—those who iu ancient times derived their name from the fact of their contrilutang nothing to the state but their children (poles, — and who now have nothing but their labour as a means of subsistence, in a world where ar: and science are day by day fight ing a battle against the labourers' bare arms. While the upper classes fled it difficult to tempt their youth to the study of the sciences of civilisation, the profes sors of these nesi theories may count their disciples by thousands and tens of thousands—disciples, too, who listen with hollow Meeks and flashing eyes, and burn ing hearts, and arc ready to turn theory into practice, although society it ly be shattered into fragments during their operations. What barren abstractions must all other thearies appear to the eager prop tart' when compared with those which prove to him, or appear to prove, that there is a way by whic t he may be elevated from his present degradation, that the very fact of this degradation is a proof of thu vicious organisation of society that he is hungry and poor and naked because the world in general is i4norant of these sciences of the plor ! Political ec..t.iimy may prove the impractica bility of socialism, crinurin sense may overturn the absurdities of communism, history may bear testi mony to the evils of democracy, and religious phila- I suphy may demolish the atheistic assumptions of hunanism ; all and each of the doctrines asserted in the demolished sciences may be without foundation, but the questions of which they treat arc stern reali ties, and will ever generate new theories to explain them. It is this theoribirg on the question of poverty which constitutes the peculiar feature of the modern proletariat. The connexion, which the modern strife of classes has with that which existed in the old world, is but slight. It is one object of the work named at the head of this article to show that the disturbed state of modern society is a phenomenon of a like na ture with that which occaaienallf appeared in aristo cratic Sparta or in democratic Athens, or in It me at the time of the Gracehi. The Jacquerie of the middle ages is also supposed to be legitimately con..ected with the troubles of Greece and Rome. In our opinion, however, the difference which exists between modern and ancient convulsions is one of kind. and not of degree. All the be ancient struggles possesbed ma their common distinguishin? feature the endeavour to obtain from the rich acquisitions of which the poor had been unjustly deprived. The Roman peasant, when he returned from the wars, and found his lands ravaged, not by the enemy abroad, but by the enemy at home, when he found that he could end., repair the loisea which the state was in law and in equity bound to repair, by putting himself under the uncontrolled authority of those who had been the causes of his ruin, joined with tu multuous thousands in demanding of his oppre-sors that the laws should be respected. He never dreamed that the constitution of the society under which he lived was bad, he oily saw that the rich were the causes of his ruin by their systematic violation of that constitution. Similar obeervati ins apply with more or less f-ree to all the troubles of the ancient world and of the middle ages. The modern Proletary, on the contrary, is persuaded that he is starv ing, that his children are sharing his starvation, and growing up stunted in body and mind, because the machine of society is badly constructed, because the upper clams are ut terly ignorant of the causes which "make men happy sal keep them so." His quarrel with the rich man is, that in his opinion the latter blindly and ignorantly umiatains and defends s system which cannot produce hapiincll3. He beholds in the rich man not only an op prt.4.or but a madmen. He is hounded on to insanity himself by Imeg:ring that those who regulate the springs of society are as ignorant of its true comp THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1, 184 . that as a savage is of a piece of delleMerniehinery, and that the knowledge that he possesses, if shared by those in authority, would be sufficient to remove all misery from the face of the earth. Ile has a clear vision of an Utopia; he sees a land flowing with milk and Loney, smiling with pesos and plenty—but he can get no sane man above him to participate in his ill u-ion. Maddened at the sight of that insensibility which he believes produces the tyranny of his oppres ses, he determines to obtain by fora what be cannot obtain by argument. He wishes to remove those in authority, as so many noxious impediments standing between him and happiness, and the result is a revo lution more or lees complete. The publication named at the bead of our article was put forward by the " Young Germany" party at the time when every chance seemed in their favour. It contains a tolerably correct account of the progress of the revolutionary caw in France and Germany. The sketches of the deinocratical literature which has produced so powerful an effect in these two countries are accurate and instructive. It will be found that they fully bear out our assertion, that the philo sophy of poverty is the great object of attention amongst the masses. To the fiercest denunciation of the effects, the treatises of the professors of the new philosophy or philosophies join a searching investiga tion into the causes of pauperism. The enormous success of these works proves that the Proletariat is a reading class, that no class of society are greater patrons of literature than the foreign poor. The views advocated by St. Simon, Fourier, Cabot, have not only been promulgated widely by the sale of an im mense number of copies of the works of these authors, but by newspapers established for that purpose. The Globe, Ilemocratin Poci. fique, and Populaire, severally laboured to com municate the doctrines of these writers in a form calculated to make an impression on the readers of the daily press. Ia addition to this, a crowd of authors of various degrees of talent have devoted themselves to an investigation of the causes and cure of poverty. The French press for the list ten years has teemed with publications of the kind. Too many French writers have conceded the pos sibility of a regeneration of society. What wonder then that the hungry Proletariat should seize hold of the opportunity held out to him, by the exis tence of a rupture between the government and the middle classes, and endeavour by rasing to the ground all old institutions to obtain space for the establish ment of a new and faultless state? _ _ _ In Germany sim;lu results have taken place, al though greatly modified by tho national character. While each French philosopher speculated indepen dently on the nature of social evils, and gave the world the results of his investigations in u original a form as possible, the Germane, on the contrary, laboured to reduce all social phenomena under one general law. Particu'ars do not suit the German mind ; it is always endeavouring to rise to the conception of universate. After a short time all the distinguished writers who advocated the cause of a reconstruction of society, re- ferred to too newest development of the Hegelian I philosophy for the fundamental principles of their theories. A consistency and consequentiality was thus given to their doctrines, which is not so apparent in those of French writers. The reference to a philo sophy which is considered by the majority of pro found thinkers in Germany as the highest form in which the exposiiion of truth has yet appeared, at traded universal attention, and a crowd of eager dis ciples was formed amongst the German students. The new doctrines were mou'ded into a shape which re ceived the name of Humanism. They were advocated with eloquence by numerous writers, but parti cularly by Huge, Feuerbach attl The irreligious features of Humanism we noticed in a review of I'roudhon's Essay on the Observance of the Sabbath. It denies the possibility of any knowledge not founded on the na•ure of man. As, however, three conclueions are not arrived at without much ab struse rcasonicg, it is but fair to infer that the Ger man socialists were actuated more by a recollection of political wrong, end by the el , q'rent pictures of social regeneration laid before them by the professors of Hu manism. Tree political portion of the new science is, indeed, more complete than anything of the kind in French treatises on similar subjects. Bat it would not be worth our entering upon the subject here. The German reader may be reterred to the work at the hear: of this article, or to the publications of Huge and Few erect]. Our intention has been to direct the reader's atten tion to the new aspect of the modern Proletariat. It thinks, and specula'es, and read-, and writes. It has its own literature, its own philosophy ; and has given proofs of its force and of its weakness. It :las be come the duty, as wt II as the interest, of every govern ment, of every memberof the middle and higherclasses, to endeavour to and. rstand the meaning of these wants that are now burr ing in the hearts of millions? Instead of 'omit.; at the Utopia of the poor man, ought we not to expose of it what is fallacious, and refire the follies of tie perverse by other arguments than either the rneer or the sword ? Ought not our daily endeavour to be to break down as many as possible of the mischievous class-barriers which keep the various portions of society as distinct as so many nations, and, letting the poor know more of the rich, show them that, even if wealth could be evenly distributed, much would be wanting before society could be regenerate As long as this is not done we shell have the lower orders looking on the higher as oppressors. Revolution may be staved off by force, but revolutionary feeling wi❑ 'still smoulder in life; and the lords of society will be able to make merry in the temple of their idol only because the blind Samson of the Proletariat has not groped his way to the " pillars whereon his house standeth." to amend the hokum sheet after the bankrupt bad puled, arising, no doubt, out of the difficulty he felt in asking fur his certificate on sash a statement of his affairs.

His debts and liab,lcies wire 2,3.381 ; assets, is good debts, 101. His stock and property had been sold under an execution a few days before the bankruptcy. The per (for four years) were put down a: 1,3801. ; the expenses at 2,6431. ; lessee, 4921. On the part of the bankrupt it was alleged that he had suffered great losses from uimased cattle and other sources, and that his stock bad barn swept cff quite unex pectedly by a hcstile exscaiinn. He bad sought to prevent ibis by taking out a flat in bankruptcy on big own petition. His Honour raid this cue was a strong illustra tion of the abuse of the bankrupt laws, whoae object was, not to protect a man, who had denud, d honk If of all his wets, but to enable on honest d.bter to mike a lair disainution of what proper.y be bud left. Here, there bad teen an attempt POLICE.-SATURDAT. BOW-STREET.—ROMMity AT THE INSOLVENT DTA TOW? COURT.—A. Schmidt, a German, was charged with reeling twenty-three parchment schedules from the Insol vent Debtors' Court, Lineoln'ininvfields.—Anne Lambert, daughter of the housekeeper, stated that on the Id inst. she met the prisoner coming down stairs from the third floor, on which tome were only private apartments, and supposing that he might have missed kis way, as the Louse was under going repairs, she allowed him to pass without making any observation. Shortly after she met another man coming down, and she told him that there were no public offices in that part: of the building, and after he had disappeared she .In:emceed that a quantity of schedules had ores re-1 moved from the pigeon hol• s on the landing, and concealed in a bag produced, which she found had been placed at the center of the staircase, appa rently for the purpose of being removed when an opportu • nity offered. She was certain the prisoner was one of the men, and she immediately identified him at the Malseinu house.—An officer of the E division said that he apprehended the prisoner in the Strand for stealing public documents from the Custom-house, and being brought to the Mansion house he was discharged in constqueuce of the indifferent character of another prisoner, who was allowed to give evi dence against him, upon which he took him into =swot , on the present charge.—The prisoner denied that he had auy thing to do with the present robbery, or that he was at the Insolvent Debtors' Court on the day in question; and in answer to questions pat by the magistrate, he said ho ha . been in this country three years, during which time he was convicted at the Central Criminal Court of forgery, for which he suffered twelve months' imprisonment.—Mr. Henry reminded the prisoner until Friday next. MARLBOROUGH SIMERT.—CHARGIS or Folio:Ate. —A.Fordwu finally examined, claimed with has uttered various forged cheques. Among publi line, in particular, the prisoner appears to have had remarkable sum v. In one instance the police were on Lis track so timely that, on mak. in g an inquiry at a public house in Wnnechspel, they were twlei teat he had just previously succeeded in passing a forged ceeque at the house. A short time alter, hearing that he was about the neighbourhood of Chelsea, the pellicle were about to make inquiry, and at the first public-house they en tered they learned that the prisoner had lett the house rot more than ten minutes before, having succeeded in getting one of his fraudulent chanties cashed.—Mr.A. B. Spergwider stated that some time ago a stranger came into his shop, and after some conversation asked him to cash a chi quo for him. Witness ohjected to do so, but ultimately agreed to pass the cheque, written in the name of Williams, which the person produced through his banker's, and when paid the applicont could have the money. The cheque was passed and paid, hut the party who left it had net called for the money. Wit ness thought the prisoner was the person who had called upon him, aid had left the cheque with him. His general, appearance was the same, but witness would not undertake' to swear positively to trim —A clerk from the banking-house of Messrs. Spooner and Co. said the ltev. Mr. Willtums, of Brecon, had credit at the house. The chigoe now produced war presented and paid. It proved to be a forgery.—The Rev. Mr. Williams, a =migrate at Brecon, said the cheque now produced was not in his hanuwriting. He hail never authorised the prisoner, who was a stranper to him, to craw cheques in his name.—F. W.Thomas, auctioneer, had known the prisoner for about three years, and had seen him write. Believed that the cheque now produced wan all in the hand writing of the prisoner.—The next charge was obtaining cash for a forged cheque from Mr. Revel, of o:toed-street. The prisoner went into Mr. Revel's shop, and, representing that he was about to commence business as a chemist in the neighbourhood, he so far imposed on the prosecutor as to induce him to 3ive cash for a cheque purporting to be drawn by a pen= named Felton.—Mr. F. lion said the cheque now produced was not in his handwriting.—The prison, r, ins de fence, said that Felton, who drew the cheque, was not the Felton who bad come forward to disown it.—The 1 num, r was fully committed on both charges. HAMMERSMITH.—TIII3 ROBBERY AT KENSINGTON.— T. Chilcott, a sweep, was charged on suspicion with having been concerned, with other persons not in custody, in breaking into the ree:dence of Count Carlo Peeeho, St. George's-terrace, Gloucester-road, Kensington, and sterl ing hank notes, gold coins, and jewellery, to the value of up wards of 600/. Count Pepelio deposed that on the evening of Christmavday, in consequence of an alarm given by one of hiss rowans, he went up to one of the attics, the door en which he found lotleed on the inside. An entrance wa- tf (wed, and he found inside two dressing-yeses, which had been taker. from his own end his countess's dressing-rooms, where they were always kept. They had been opened by false keys, and their contents, which consisted of diamond ear rings, brooches, rings, several gold bracelets studeed with precious stones, two representing the likenesses of the members of the Bonaparte family, 1 massive and heavy gold chains, and other jewellery ; three gold watches, one having on the beck a miniature of the Holy Virgin and child, bad been taken away. Witness also found in the attic a desk belonging to himself, which had been broken open, and about 1801 in Bank of England notes, together with a number of gold and silver medals, and Fter.ch and Italian gold and silver coins stolen therefrom. Among the notes were two for 101. and eighteen for U., numb?red 90,117 to 90,134, and dated the 2nd of October, 1848. He saw muddy and sooty footmark*, which extended trona the attire to the bedrooms and dressing rooms and back again.— Inspector 'level!, T division, deposed that he had examined the premises, and found that there was an empty house in the nine terrace, No. 19, which he had also detrain , d and found therein similar footmarks to those the count had tie scribed, which also extended over the bads of the eight in tervening houses between the empty house and the count's residence. Prisoner bad been employed at the empty house on the day of the robbery, and had the possession of the key fur that purpose. He was seen in the neighbourhood of the count's house from time to time between five o'clock in the afternoon and about eight o'clock in the evening, the robbery being presumed to Cave been committed between seven and eight o'clo-te. He hod ' no doubt, from the information he had received, that if the prisoner was remanded for a few dam be should be able to produce other evidence against him. The prisoner said he was quite innocent of the robbery. Ile could prove that he gave up the key of the empty house when he had removed the coals, and he could also prove that be was at a relative's at Knightsbridge all the evening. Mr. Beadon said the evi dence et present against the prisoner was slight, and he would remand him for further inquiry until that day week ; but, if in the meantime the police from their inquiries were satisfied that he had nothing to do with the robbery, he should be discharged before that time. CltOYDON.—CatallOß OP UTTZKINO Fates CHZQWES. —This day was appointed for the re examinatioa of Mr. T. Powell, a gentleman who for some time occupied Burgh House, in the neighbourhood of Croydon, upon the charge of obta ining money by means of false cheques from Miss Henson. the landlady of the Cock, at Sutton, Mr. Tebbutt, of the Fox and Huun.!s, Croydon, and several other Inn keepers.—Mr. Wage, on behalf of the accused, put in a certificate by the heeler of a lunatic asp= at Hovon, which stated that Mr. T. Powell had been admitted to that asylum as a lunatic, upon the certificates of Dr. Southwood Smith and Mr. Montague Gossett. Under these circumstances it was hardly necessary for him to inform the bench that it was quite impossible for the prisoner to attend and undergo an examinatiun.—The magistrates ordered the case to stand over to a future day. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAY ETIMINO. There has been quite a favourable, and rather an unexpected, turn in affairs to-day in public securities to the advantage of the speculators for the rise. The first transactions of the morning done in Consols rea lised 881, but the market was soon found to be strong on purchasers coming forward, and 89 ex-div. was al most tee first priny afterwards which had to be paid. This extreme rate, however, was not long Supported, and prices fluctuated at 88/ buyers and sellers, until nearly the close of business, when, as usual, with a Sunday intervening, buyers anxious to relieve their books in some degree against the possible con tingency of adverse accounts hoot abroad on a blank business day, checked their Lccounts by maks, which brought down the quotations to 88/ to / ex dividend for the opening, at which they left off. Reduced Threes, 881 to t. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 89/ to I. Exchequer Billy, 40s. to 434. prem. India Bonds, 40s. to 435. prem. Bank Stock, 190 to 2. This was pay day upon the settlement in the fo- reign market, which passed over with regularity so tar as known. In other re-pects the market was quiet, sod business slack. Dutch Two-and-a-Hull per Cents. were called 49 to 30 ; the FourP, 74 to 5. Bel gian, 73 to 5. Hessian, 101 to 3, bought at 103. Danish, 68 to 9. Mexican, 241 to f.

Spanish Fives 13! to 141; the Threes, 27; to 81; Passive, 3 1 to f e Portuguese, 25 to 8. The Manchester Courier of this day gives the fol lowing encouraging account of the state of trade in that important district during the week. In the majority of cams, the latter, whether spinners or manufacture rs, are under engagements which will see them pretty nearly through the first month of the new year; and under such circumstances, there is little inclination, on their parts, to give w3y in the slightest degree, even did appear ances of the future warrant them in la doing. At the early part of the week the export houses showed much indifference, but since •hen more inquiry has been made, and the slightest concession hes been followed by orders for future delivery, and that, too, at de-taut dates, at ver• elope upon the higher tete" s generally asked; but the majority of the spinners are not inclined to give way in the least. In the yarn market it would appear that a very fair amount of orders is held for 'caution, which are kent beck until it is a - en what course prices will tithe in the new year, end this is toe case al►„ in the cloth mark, t, where the rise seems t.. have been too quick for the limits of the orders sent here to keep pass with. On the whole the close of the week seems to favour the full ra es at present demanded by spinners, should even a further advance not be biked. The following calculations allow the rate per cent. per annum yielded by the various securities cited at the average of the prices which ruled this day.

THE EFFECT OF THE FRENCH ELECTION ON BRITISH CAPITAL is shown in the pus.-nt month's Bankers' Maga:Me : " Ti.e effected the French election upon our lands was not vt ry great; in rrlvii, this, and all isapottsat occurrences of which considerable notice has barn given, are so thoroughly ez. haust, d beforehand—' ducounted,' is the phrase of the job bers—that the even - itat lt, unless ilivenified by some actg. .lentai accompaniment, produces little ostensible affect. In direct.y, it is highly probable that the conjuncture of favour able circumstances attending the accession of Prince Louis Nipoleon will exercise cnn‘ideraMe itflueece upon the cur rent value of the English funds. Tne rapid end extensive midis of capital from the continent will be suspended. It has already been suspended in a great degree. Ihe retails of c .mparative socurity will no long. r compel the expatria tion an reeources from those quarters where they have been accumulated, and where they arc fixed ; and, for a &swim at least, we must reckon upon a cessation in that remarkable train of pbcnonunsi which, almost for the space of a year, have reed( red England the receptacle of uo mall portion— of a portion exceeding the belief of most people—of the wealth of the Continent. 8o far, the increase of transactions has not prmluced any palpable change in the value of floating capital. Money is iii more dem and at its former peke, bat it cannot set be described as fete: .-in s a higher rase. For a considerable part of the month of Noe ember, and during some tart of the prevent month, there was great difiicuPy is fin big employment for spare ca-b at 2 per cent. per an num' at call. This is no longer the case; and the broken are now readily aeoeesible to any offers at that rate. hoe toeing funds at 2 per cent., the rate of discount may he de scribed as fr, m 21 to 21 on prime signatures, with a usane.t of tl.ree months; and alffscuels considerable circumspection still diatirguishcs the negotiation c f bills, there is no reason able , igleultj in raising funds upon litTlt. iti. s of lone. r cur reney.
