PR9 B PEcr" While exchange banks and credli. - Carnations have been este. bilahal to connect this country anancialry with almost every foreign market, and to give facilities for conveying to our shores every description of merchandise, it is remarkable that as soon as the operation of Importing Is performed the mor.etary facilities el, withdrawn. The bills draws upon oar merchants =tam and must either be met by the merchant's capital unaided, or by sales. Thus, when temporarily there Is en 'scene of any com modity imported. its price Is unduly depressed. and merlons losses are incurred. Ordinary bankers and discount houses dislike making advances upon merchandise. having no ogauts►tlon for examining the goods and correctly estimating their valise. What they want are good bills, drawn on those who. knowleg the value, have accepted for a fair advance. Division of labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and profitable. To meet this want, which every merchant mug acknowledge. the Warrant Banking Company is formed. The business of the Company will mainly commit in making advances upon deposit of the staple articles of produce., represented by dock werrants or other means of absolute assignment. duly inspected and valued on behalf of the lompany, end with a proper margin to allow for depreciation. The, advances will be made in acceptances by the Company of the drafts of its customers and aa every bill will represent merchaudise readily convertible, and he at the same time se cured by the whole capital of a powerful Company, the exact position of which will be patent to all, there can be no doubt that the whole discount market will be available %hen it is de sired by the holder to earn the bill Into cash. It will be readily apparent that the existence of such as Insti tution, while It will be of great service to merchants, and in crease the stability of the entire class, will be an equal conceal ewe to bankers end discount Areas, furnishing them with a chits of bills rarely obtainable. In order to render the due pay ment of the Company's acceptancescertaln, the Directors under take that the entire paidoso capital of the Company will be in vested and, so tor as practicable, remain invested in British and Bart Indian Government securities, and upon deposit at call, and it i/ proposed that the capital thus paid up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum °e at Meg 1.200,000. The field which exists for such an undertaking will be at oace apparent from a glance at the Board of Trade returns of foreign imports for the pest year, which amounted !not to swat of home producer to over A 400,00000. If we estimate the average stock of foreign goods held in warehouse coequal to three months consumption. It would represent an amount of g:-0.000.000.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-XAINE, MA Rat 12. In to-day's sitting of the Federal Diet the motion of Bavaria, for the recognition of the Duke of Augustenburg, was brought forward. The repre sentatives of AuAria and Prussia proposed the ad journment of the motion until the committee should have reported on the succession Question, declaring that they would very shortly state their views upon the subject. On account of this declaration the Bavarian repre sentative stated that he would nut insist upon his right, as mover of the proposition, to put the question to the vote within a week. The debate was therefore adjourned. The motion of Saxony and Wurtemberg to convoke the Holstein Diet, ' and that of Hanover to summon Denmark to sur render the captured German shipping, was referred to a committee.

Confederate telegrams to the 25th ult. assert that Geaeral Sherman's advance bad reached the Pearl river, on its return to Vicksburg. The Federal cavalry from Memphis was unable to form a junction with General Sherman. They' , penetrated to West Point, where an engagement mused, the Federals retreating to Memphis with the lass of three guns. During the retreat the Confederates seriously harassed 'the Federal rear. General Longstreet is still retreating towards Virginia. The Federal repulse in Florida is confirmed. They fell info an ambuscade, and after a three hours' engagement they retreated on JaekaousviLle, with the toes el 1,900 men and five guns.

(nom ors ows mavens.) SHEFFIELD, SUKDAY Mom_ One of those calamities which stop for a time the pulsation of the whole country, and fill the public mind with astonishment wad awe, has just occurred in this neigh bourhood. The horror is intensified by the fact that the accident teak plane soddenly in the deed of the sight, when the people, after • hard day's toil, had laid themselves down to tranquil slumber; hundreds who had gone to rest is the full confidence that they would rise with the light of returning day, awoke no more, their goods, their dwellinp, acid everything pertaining to them— nay, their very bodiee—being swept away by • mighty flood. Far seven miles above the busy sad populous town of Sheffield, where dwell the eons of Tubal Cain, where the clank of the hammer and the anvil ceases not, and for 20 miles below, all through the smiling valley of the Don, which was just putting forth the tender buds of early spring, • mighty torrent has swept, and in one night has obaoged the whole face of the valley into a moue of desolation and wander such es makes the heart sink to look upon it. Peeceful villages and solitary farm-houses upon the banks of the Don have vanished from the face of the earth, and nothing remain, to mark the spot when they once stood but • long, low, brown mum of alluvial de posit, with here and there • loathed and branchless tree disking up through the wade, er • solitary phis wall where once stood a noble home. The 5e.041, indeed, for miles is ate of uttter minibilation, and reminds us of the magnificent description of public calamities in the Scripture; where we are told that men did eat, and drink, and were merry, and laid down to rest in unconscious ignorance, but the 'food came and carried them away, and their pieces knew them DO more. People who lived upon the high bill/overlooking the valley of the Don, between Bradfield sod Sheffield, when they looked forth from their chamber windows in the early monist, could not believe their eyes. A disappear once stranger than that of Aladdin's palace in the eastern tale had taken place. There were, indeed, the opposite hills and the distant country, but where were the long white rows of cottages, where the numerous bridges, where the pleasant villages sad the decking mills that had dotted the river banks ; they had absolutely vanished, and had " loft not a wrack behind." There was not even the apparence a ruin., which generally attends the destruction of houses; here and there large sheets of water; then, again, mares of brown mud, such as the tide leaves uncovered at low water in large estuaries; in the centre a rushing surging torrent still making it. way an huge volumes to the adjacent town of Sheffield. AU this destruction of life and property had takes place, moreover. without any great alarm, without any harrowing expecta tion to the minds of the thousands of sleepers in Shefiield of what slide of horror the morrow would bring forth. Yale watchers in the night had heard with affright • dull heavy roar, and now and again a solitary shriek, • cry for help wheels no help could come; then all was silent save the same dull, heavy, and continuous roar, with an occasional mash caused by a falling bridge. At length the huge mountain of water, which in its per sage down the valley of the Don bad overthrown houses and farms, torn up trees by the roots and whirled them round and round till they presented nothing but the appearance of scathed, whitened, and blasted trunks, drowned men in their houses sad the haute an the fields, reached Sheffield ; and then, indeed, the alarm among than who had not re tired to red in that busy and populous seat of the iron manufacture botanic, generd, and it was soon noised about that the flood was out in the lower part of the town. But for hours after the little knot of miserably poor and ill-cled people who bad been driven by the rising of the water in the lower compartmente of their dwellings by the side of the river to seek warmth and s helter is the police station had given the first intimation of the calamity no one imagined that anything more than an ordinary Hooding of the low part of the town bad taken place, though people were seen in the darkness of the night hastily moving about with torches, busily engaged in mov ing furniture and chattels. The roar of the waters had brought many to the bridge called the Lady-bridge. but it was not till lookers-out in the grey dawn of the morning discovered in the floating torrent vast tangled manses of timber, which, striking against the buttresses of the bridges, became piled up to a great height, sad in the most fantastic forms, and by and by mixed with rafters and planks, beds, mattresses, tables, chairs, dead cattle, and oomaionally the dead body of • man or woman in a state of nudity, did it become known that further up the river some great calamity must have happeaed. Then, in deed, the consternation among the night walolaop beraw, 1.11614 tad all wu eneeild Sittene of hurry, tenor, and con- Nita. Still so tidings reached the people either of the extant or the cause of the calamity, and the early dawn had expanded into broad day before expresses came hurrying in to the town with the frightful intelligeros that the great corpora tion reservoir at Bradfield had burst, and the dam acmes the bead of the valley of the Doe had given way ; thus allowing the millions of tons of water pent up behind it to escape in one mad boiling cataract down the valley— overturning, destroyiag, and swooping before it in its re mistier course everything that stood in its way. This was the horrible expleastion of the great quantity of chairs, beds, and deed cattle that came down the Don. The great heap of trees, rafters, house furniture—a heap scarcely less balky than the great bridge MAW—is all that remains of whole streets of houses, and in too many cases it is all that has yet been found of the inhabitants too. All the way down from the dam at Bradfield to Sheffield the flood has levelled a pathway for itself, and where busy villages Mood there is now nothing but an expanse of slimy mad, with here and there a dead horse, a tree barked white, end • few mill-wheels, the only rem•ants of mills. Where on Friday night hundreds of people slept in (mandoline, they and their houses have gooe down the stream ; their beds Boating on the top of the rushing current have spread alarm, and the trustful sleepers now sleep the long sleep of death. The embankment of the great dam at Bradfield stretched across the valley, and upheld a magnificent sheet of water. In its normal state it was one of the largest dame of the water company, and from it they were tinder the obligation to supply the mills of the Loxley with 10 cubic feet per nomad day and night, sad it was computed that when it was full it would contain twenty-two weeks' supply without any addition. At this time it wee much more than full. The very 000siderable falls of snow and rain had poured down such floods that not only was the dam full, but hundreds of acres above it were submerged. There must therefore have been a prodigious pressure of water. Bat this was not $ ll. The high wind of Friday night blew direct down the dale, forcing the water violently against the embankment. On Friday evening great messiness prevailed, and Mr. GUWOD, engineer of the company, proceeded in all haste to the plan. We believe Mr. Craves, the contractor, was also there. As the night advanced, the violence of the dorm continued unabated. Late passengers on the roads on each side of the dal* saw lights on the embankment, and heard voioss. Towards midnight was beard a dull rushing sound, as if a mighty avalanche was dislodged from an Alpine heigh►, sod bad buried half the valley under its weight. The last terrible symptom was • slow sinking of the centre of the embankmeat. Then the alarm was given with all expedition, but ere the massagers had bees able to go more than Dome two miles, if so math, the whole centre of the embank- meat gave way, and the mighty waters rushed like • pent up sea, overthrowing its barriers, down the valley. The means of conionaication between the two sides of the valley are almost cut off. It is only possible to get agree by wading, and there are few planes where it iamb to do so, and the access to the town from either side of the valley is very difficult. The gap in the embankment looks like a valley aft by an earthquake through a hill. Probably half the embankment at its deepest part is gone. When day light broke the condition of Wags in the lower part of Shill. field was deplorable. Several of the streets in the neighbour hood had 'been fire or six feet submerged, and the height to which the water had rises was distinctly marked upon the walls by the long black lima. The elegise shed of the Midland railway station was found to be five feet in slime and mud, [TWOPENCE in which on or two bodies win fond that hid been washed in by the flood. The booking-office was also three feet deep in water and slush. Many hones were demoliabed, sad is au or twe asses the ',tale aides at streets. • It is a singular circurestansialso, as elbowing the unabated strength of the current for many mike, that notwithstanding the valley after passing south of Sheffield widens condderably, dead bodies were washed into the station at Downier. Up to the present shoot 170 dead bodies have been re covered, but how many have gone down the stream, and will not probably be recoversifor days, it is impossible to say. Men provided with long sticks and high boots have been looking all day in the mud for the bodies of persons who are lost in the river. Where the Hillfoot-bridge formerly stood, but which has now been washed away, there was a small two-roomed • hlte-washed garden-house. Bare lying in then beds, lay the bodies of six persons—father, mother, sad four childree—wbo, as they lay, appeared to have died without a draggle. About a dozen yards fur Bier on is • gudeo.house, occupied by a man named Petty, in the employ of Messrs. Steel and Gar land. The side wall of this cottage has been washed down, and the massagers on the Peeistone-road, at the other side of the river, can see the pallid, upturned faces of • man and woman in one bed, and in the same room, but in soother bad, may be seen the bodies of three children ; these also appear to have died without • struggle. In • room at a public-house, the Royal Oak, the bodies of three children were laid, having been removed from some houses • little below. No place has suffered more in Sheffield than Spring-street and its immediate neighbourhood. The water then stood more than breast high, and the mirchief done it is impossible at this time to calculate. The fora of the flood may be judged of from the fact that the heavy beam of an engine was brought down with it and thrown up at the june tiou of CorporatiosatrwA and Spring-street. The latter street, in fact, is littered with furniture and other wreck. The =maitre wall bounding the barracks on the lower side was swept away. The flood invaded the quarters of the sergeants, and two of the infant children of Paymader-.9er geant Foul& were drowned in their bed. The sentry at the gate had the narrowest possible escape, the flood coming upon him with lightning-like soddenness. At Rowell-bridge, the bridge and two grinding-wheels are totally washed away. About sixty persons were employed here, and all the poor men's tools are carried away. One man, • grinder, named Bradley, who was working at the time of the flood, has disappeared. At Damtlask the corn mill and the greater part of the wire mill are washed away. The only person lost here is • nerve, who lodged with a man named Kirk. The messenger sent from the dam to give warping of the coming danger had reached Kirk's house, and all the family escaped but the nerds, who declared he would not turn out of bed for any. thing. Kirk's house and an adjoining one have disap. peered. So Amhara) the Barrel public-house and a cottage. At Low Bradfield, the newly-erected Wesleyan school and eshool.house are gone. At first it was reported that the teacher and his wife were missing, but we were glad to rind afterwards that this was a mistake. The only loss of life re ported to us here was that of a child, the daughter of a tailor named Dawson, to whose house the edge of the flood in its might reached. The mother was rushing from the hostas with the child in her arms, when her agitation or some impediment canoed the child to drop, or it was knocked out of her arms, sad, to her horror, was carried off by the rearing water. At this place two bridges, a commit', and a blacksmith's shop, are embed away. The house of • man named Eloped' is destroyed, but the inmates happily escaped. An extraordinary rise in the river at Rotherhamllwas noticed about half-past two by Police-sergeant Ireland, who imme diately aroused the inhabitants sear. In a few minutes trees, broken off or torn up by their roots, every description of household furniture, pigs, massive beams and iron work carts, Sic., came floating down. The people at once com menced dragging out of the river what could be reached, while others obtained bate sod towed to land the larger fragments of wreck drifting down the middle. The body of a woman, apparently 40 years of age, dressed in her night gown, was got out near the flax mill, and two others, one that of a man, and the other • girl, near the Jordan meadows. . . . Many jpitaoces of heroism, as in all such calamities, have already been made known. One poor man, named M'Avoy, in the neighbourhood of Kelbarmetreet, bore out suc cessively, wading himself up to the neck, a family of four persons. Below parse. Naylor, Vickers, and Co.'s offices in Milliards, lives an old lady who keeps the rooms. She was heard screaming, standing ►t the cellar window, in the height of the good, whim a bystander, a gallant fellow, sought a ladder, and plunging it into the water below, hors her off on his shoulders, landing her again on itTrafrits, to the delight of those who r il t i ff ou Uii het LATEST NEWS. It is now estimated that the lose of life will exceed 250, and that the value of the property destroyed exceeds half • million. From Bradfield, where the reeervoir buret, down the °own of the rivers for twelve or fourteen miles the country is laid waste. The reservoir covered an area 76 acres, and would hold 114,000,000 cubic feet of water. The embaalonant, which crossed the end of the valley, was an enormous erection, with en average height of 85 feet, sad 40 feet in thicltness. It was 300 yards long. Between Mat lack and Hillsborough, a distance of four miles, the greatest loss of life has been caused. Within this tract whole roan of houses have been swept entirely away, in three of which alone there were 25 lives lost. I. the opposite row the whole of the inhabitants were drowned, and scarcely any of their bodies have been discovered. The flood seems to have swept off everything before it, from the confluence of the Loaley and the Bevilin to the Don. Between Wardsend and Sheffield on the Don, the bodies were seen lying in the mills and the mud and rules. There were 14 in one place, 10 in another, and 13 in a flied. At Seemed 900 acres of gardens were devastated, and whole fami lies were swept away. An official report just re ceived states that 156 dead bodies have been already ',- meowed ; 70 have been identified. Large numbers are not yet found. Bodies have been discovered as far down the river as Doncaster. Along the b►nks of the river, between that town and Sheffield, the scene of the inundation was visited by vast crowds on Sunday ; the police sad • strong military guard acted for the maintenance of order and the security of property. A movement for a general subscription was immediately commenced, and a meeting will he held to-morrow. The inhabitants of the submerged districts have lost everything, and an appeal fur instant help will be made ; hundreds have nothing left of their property but their nightdresses. The inquests were opened on Saturday eight, and then adjoersed far tea days. There were then 90 bodies in the workhouse, sad the Coroner said he had been informed there had been warty 20U found. He re ferred toa statement, which is 'recently made and believed, that, in consequence of the dangerous state of the reservoir, warning was sent to the inhabitants of the valley as far as Dernfisak, and that only a few lives were lost there, but that the warning was not sent to the thickly-peopled dis tricts below.
