Beyond Xar tigny the flood did but little damage, as it here expanded over the plain, and was at once reduced in depth and velocity. We are glad to hear that, in addition to the sub scriptions which have been organised in France and Switzerland for the relief of those who have suffered from the recent floods, a subscription for the same end has been started in London. We published yesterday the announcement of the London committee for the collection of this sub scription.

SERIOUS EITLOSIOX 47 THE UNITED HOTEL. Yesterday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, a loud report was beard in the neighbourhood of the Hay market, which it was at first thought proceeded from the building operations now in rapid progress at Her Majesty's Theatre. 'lhe .cone of the disaster was, however, the large building adining the theatre, in Charles-street, St. Jane s's-square, known as the United Hotel, and the cause of the report was the explosion of the boiler of the cooking apparatus, which lies caused damage that can hardly, without' a visit to the scene. be believed. The premises occupied as the hotel are extensive, and but very lately have been put in thorough repair, the basement being divided into separate compartments; the kitchen, the boiler room, the plate-room, store and still room, and various other domestic offices, occupying the whole of the lower -part of the premises. Business was going on yesterday as usual, when about two o'clock • tremendous report, caused by the explosion of the large boiler in the cook ing-room, shook the building to its foundation, and suddenly the whole of the interior of the hotel became filled with steam and clouds of dust. Immediately after the shock, a rush was made by the waiters, porters, and others to the kitchen, but their good intentions werein a great degree fruitless, as the stain and other communica tions bad been deetroyed. The effect of the explosion above the place at which it occurred bad been tremen dous. The flooring of the large coffee-room had been torn up, the tables and other furniture in a great measure destroyed, and the whole of the plate-glass in the eight or ten windows in front shivered to atoms. The police then arrived, and the first object was to rescue the usdortunata .dossestice from their dangerous positions. Six unfortunately were found to be seriously injured, and were at once sent to Charing-cross Hospital; and then an inspection of the damage caused was about to be made, when a shout of fire was heard, and flames were seen rising from below. Fortunately by this time the engines of the Metropolitan Brigade bad arrived, and thus the flames, which at one time seemed likely to destroy the entire building, were extinguished. On proceeding below, a scene that cannot be adequately described presented it self. Walls, partitions, windows, and every inch of glass had been either blown down or destroyed. On examining the place where the boiler bad been fixed, it was found that the front, top and bottom, and aides had been blown out. a portion only of the back plate remaining attached to the wall. Every vestige of the other part of the apparatus bad been destroyed, and nothing but a heap of bricks and the broken fragments of glass and iron remained to show the force of the explo sion. The front of the hotel in Charless:street shows the eflccts of the calamity, all the plate glass in the windows of the coffee-room have been blown into the road in front of the house, and amongst the thousands of pieces lying about not one larger than a shilling is to be found. The police and salvage corps have now possessiou of the build ing, from which all the visitors are making is hasty depar ture. On inquiry at Charing-crow Illesqrital last night two of the sufferers were found in a very precarious state— Ellen Leonard and Eliza Lutainn, the Litter, it is feared, being fatally injured. • The other four have sus tained very severe hurts, but not to the extent of the two women named ; they are progressing satisfactorily. Whe ther inattention to or wear of the huller has led to the disaster remains to be investigated. THIS BONA Fin& TnAvriirri QUESTION AGAIN. —Yesterday, two cares of considerable importance to licensed victuallers were heard at the Highgate police court, against Mr. George Ballard, of the Castle public house, High-street, Highgate, and Mr. George Frew, of the Bull public-house, North-hill, Highgate, who were sum moned, at the instance of Inspector N'tstlake, Y division, for having their houses unlawfully open for the sale of sine and spirits before the hour of one, on Sunday, the 11th instant, the same not being fur the refreshment of travellers, or lodgers therein. Mr. Pater, barrister, de fended in the case of Ballard. From the evidence of police-sergeants Parry, 14 Y, and Bennett, 12 Y, it ap peared 'that the Cast le was visited at ten minutes pea twelve on the day in question, when eighteen men were found in the Louse—nine at the bar, and nine in the back yard. "All the parties were drinking, and the sergeants 'stated that the nine persons at the bar were bona fide travellers, but the others were residents of Highgate. The Bull was visited about 12 at noon, and 11 nersons were found taking re freshments—eight in front of the bar, and six in the par lour. The police stated that they believed some of the par ties iu the bar were travellers, but they knew some of the parties as residents of Highgate. Mr. Pater contended that the trading proved was legitimate, as the parties served were bonii-ffile travellers. Several wituessei having been called to confirm this statement, in addition stat ed that they had travelled from town ou the day in question, and only went in and partook of necessary refreshment. They sad none but travellers were served. The bunch ordered Mr. Ballard to pay a fine of SI. and 17e. costs, and Mr. Bew to pay a fine of 21. and 17e. costs. The fines ware at once paid. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TWO MANCrFAO TORana.—On the 6th of July last • part of Mr. Wm. Dew son's mill, Aqueduct-street, Preston, was damaged by • fire to the amount of 0001. The affair had some strange bearings about it : but it passed over quietly, and the in surance companies made good the damage. At midnight, however, on the 20th August following, another lire broke out in the mill, and damages sustained. The two fires in their surrounding circumstances left no doubt that both were the work of some incendiary, and the insurance offices instant! y o ff ered • reward of SOW. for the detection of the supposed offenders. Mr. Spittle, of the City De tective Department, London, was engaged to investigate the matter, which resulted in his apprehending two men oster day messing who have been under Iris surveillance for • few weeks. Both of them formerly worked at the mill, and their apprehension has been the came of some words they let slip while drinking. Both of them bad intimated to James Smith, an overlooker at the mill, • fortnight before the occurrence of the fire, that they bad had 6004 each offered if they succeeded in burning the mill, but he, not thinking they were in earnest, never thought anything more of the remarks passed. One of the pritoriera said they had had three " do's " at the mill. They both said, " The masters are away, and one is in Ireland, and we have to send him word when it is done." One of them raid one of the masters had told him that it the mill was not burned they (the masters) would be ruined, and several other statements were made, which wade the detective feel justified in apprehending the prisoners. They were brought up at the police court yes terday noon, and after the overlooker had given hie evidence, it was derided to adjourn the ease until Wed nesday. The matter has caused no Ilttle excitement throughout Preston. —-- - . Duirvrrma and Co., Belfaat, are the larger! bolder' of Whisky In tho world.

This morning, upon their return journey from Swarms, Marshal Serrano, Admiral Topete, and Senor Oloraga stopped at Onadalajaro, where they were entertained at a breakfast. Various toasts were drunk upon the occasion. Senor Oloraga made a speech, in which ho said that he and his friends were of opinion that a monarchy was a necessity for Spain. For a republic it was neoessary that the pe should receive a preparatory education. Spain would enjoy freedom with a representa tive government based upon universal suf frage. Admiral Topete was of the same opinion, but added that he would support a republic if that form of government were established by the Cortes. Marshal Serrano said the provisional government would respect the national wishes. Sen Moran, a democrat, declared that the demo crate) party would adhere to the republican form of government as their beau ideal; but as the faithful guardians of the liberty of the country they would support and respect monarchical go vernment if such were voted by the nation. MADRID, Oer. 19. A decree has been issued appointing Senor Rios Rosa President of the Conned of State. A decree issued by the Minister of Justice orders the immediate suppression of all monasteries, con vents, colleges, congregations, and other religious establishments, of both sexes, founded since the 29th July, 1837. All their property, movable and immovable, is to become the property of the State. The monks and nuns belonging to these insti tutions will not receive any pension from the government. The convents established before 1837 are to be reduced in number by one-half, and those left are forbidden henceforward to receive novices. The monks and nuns thus released from thcircloisters can enter the conventual establish ments which are not suppressed, or return to secular life. In this case they are to addreis a petition to that effect to the civil government, and they eau claim buck the money made over by them to the convents at the time of their entry. The civil governors will decide by arr.mgements with the bishops which convents are to be allowed to continue in existence. AU congregations of women who have devoted themselves to the education of youth will be prtiervi.d. A democratic meeting was held at the Circus yesterday. The discussion was very animated, and a resolution was adopted to the effect that a federal republic was the only form of government in consonance with democratic principles. It was also resolved to propose to the government to declare that all Spaniards twenty years of ago are entitled to exercise political privileges; further, to collect resources for publishing pamphlets ex plaining all forms of government, and to establish political schools for the people. A meeting of the Association for obtaining the Reform of the Customs Tariff was held on the Bourse yesterday, and an address was drawn up and approved, congratulating the Minister of Finance on the measures recently adopted by him, and urging him to carry out his intentions of re forming the tariffs.

(Per the City of Paris, rid Queenstown.) NEW YORK. Oar. 10, NOON. General Sherman has telegraphed to tho War Department that more troops are necessary to prevent a protracted Indian war. A torchlight procession, which took place at Pittsburg, was attacked by a mob, and a fight ensued, in which the mayor and several other persons were injured. The general convention of the episcopal church of the United Statist and the New Dominion was opened at Now York on the 7th inst., at which 320 delegates were present, of whom 42 were bishops. The Governor of Georgia has issued a circular, announcing that General Meade has disposed of the troops so as to preserve the peace, but urges the citizens to obey the laws, and to maintain order at the polls. The Alabama Legislature has adjourned without enacting any registration law. An official report from Camilla confirms the pre vious reports of General Meade and the local sheriffs. The report states that there was no evi dence that the white republicans had urged the negroes to violence, but that the riot commenced through a shot from a drunken white bystander. The full returns of the Connecticut town elections show that eighty-six towns were republican, sixty-nine democratic, and seven were divided. General M'Clellan received an enthusiastic wel come and ovation at Philadelphia on Thursday, when there was a large procession, composed principally of the soldiers of the old army of the Potomac. The general made a speech devoid of political allusions. The correspondents of the World and New York • DURING the past few weeks we have witnessed a succession of temptable evidential; of Nature's de structive powers. The tires of Vesuvius, the earth throes of the sub-equatorial Andes, and the sub marine disturbance which has shaken Hawaii, have presented to us the various forms of destructive action which the earth's subterranean forces can assume. In the disastrous floods which have recently visited the Alpine cantons of Switzerland, we have evidence of the fact that natural forces, which we are in the habit of regarding as bene ficent and restorative, may exhibit themselves as agents of the most widespread destruction. We had occasion to point out lately how enor mous is the amount of power of which the rain-cloud is the representative; and in doing so we endeavoured to exhibit the contrast between the steady action of the falling shower and the energy of the processes of which rain is in reality the equivalent. But in the floods which have lately ravaged Switzerland we see the same facts illustrated, not by numerical calculations or by the results of philosophical experiments, but in action, azzd that action taking place on the most wide ly extended scale. The whole of the south eastern, or as it may be termed the Alpine half of Switzerland, has suffered from these floods. If a line be drawn from the Lake of Constance, in the north-east of Switzerland, to the Col de Balme, in the south-west, it will divide Switzerland into two nearly equal portions, and scarcely a canton within the eastern of these divisions has escaped without great damage. The cantons which have suffered most terribly are those of Tessin, Grieons, and St. Gall. The St. Gothurd, Splugen, and St. liernhardin routes have been rendered impassable. Twenty-seven lives were lost in the St. Oothard Pass, besides horses and waggons full of merchandise. It is stated that on the three routes upwards of eighty persons perished. In the village of Loderio alone no loss than fifty deaths occurred. So terrible a flood has not taken place since the year 1834. Nor have the cantons of - Uri and Valais escaped. From I'nterwalden we hear that the heavy rains which took place a fortnight ago have carried away several large bridges, and many of the rivers con tinue still very swollen. We have already described how enormous the material losses are which have been caused by these floods. Many places are under water; others in ruins or absolutely de stroyed. In Tessin alone the damage is estimated at forty thousand pounds sterling. A country. like Switzerland tenet al ways be liable to the occurrence, from time to time, of catastrophes of this sort. Or rather, perhaps, we should draw a distinction between the two divisions of Switzer land referred to above. Of these the one may be termed the mountain half, and the other the lake half of the country. It is the former portion of the country which is principally subject to the dynamical action of water. A long-continued and heavy rainfall over the higher lands cannot fail to produce a variety of remarkable effects, where the arrangement of mountains and passes, hills, valleys, and ravines is so complicated. There are places where a large volume of water can accumulate until the barriers which have op-, posed its passage to the plains burst under its in creasing weight; and then follow those destruc tive rushes of water which sweep away whole vil lages at once. It is, in fact, the capacity of the Swiss mountain region for damming up water, far more than any other circumstance, which renders the Swiss floods so destructive. And then it must be remembered that there are at all times suspended over the plains and valleys which lie beneath the Alpine ranges enormous muses of water in the form of snow and ice. Although in general these suffer no changes but those due to the partial melting which takes place in summer, and the renewed accumulation which takes place in winter• yet when heavy rains fall upon the lets elevated portions of the Alpine snow, they not only melt that snow much more rapidly than the summer sun would do, but they wash down large masses, which add largely to the destructive powers of the descending waters. The most destructive floods which have ti:;:airrel in Switzerland have usually been those which take place in early summer. The flood which inundated the plains of Ilartigny in 1818 were a remarkable instance of the effects which result from the natural damming up of largo volumes of water in the upper parts of the Alpine hill-couu try. The whole of the valley of Bagnes, one of the largest of the lateral branches of the main valley of the Rhone above Geneva, was converted into a lake in the spring of 1818, by the damming up of a narrow pass into which avalanches of snow and ice had ken precipitated from a lofty glacier over hanging the bed of the river Drunso. The icy barrier enclosed u lake no less than half a league in It ngth and en eighth of a mile wide, and in places two hundred feet deep. The inhabitants of the neighbouring villages were terrified by the danger which was to be apprehended from the bursting of the barrier. They cut a gallery seven hundred feet long through the ice, while the waters bad as yet risen to but a moderato height ; and when the waters began to flow through this channel its course was deepened by the melting of the ice, and at length nearly half the con tents of the lake were safely curried off. It was hoped that the process would continue, and the country be saved from the danger which had been so long impending over it. But as the heat of the weather mcreased the central part of the barrier slowly melted away, until it because too weak to bear the enormous weight of water which was preening against it. At length it gave way, so suddenly and completely that all the water which remained in the lake rushed out in half an hour. The downward passage of the water illustrated in a very remarkable way our view that it is where water is checked in its outflow that the chief mischief of flooda is occa sioned. For it is related that "in the course of " their descent the waters encountered several nar " row gorges, and at each of these they rose to a " great height, and then burst with new violence into the next basin, sweeping along forests, " houses, bridges, and cultivated land.' Along the greater part of its course the flood resembled rather a moving mass of rock and mud than a stream of water. Enormous masses of granite were torn out of the sides of the valleys and whirled for hundreds of yards along the course of the flood. IL EsenEa relates that one of the fragments thus swept along was no leas than sixty yards in circumference. At first the water rushed onwards at the rate of more than a mile in Lire minutes, and the whole distance (forty-five miles) which separates the valley of Anna, from the Lake of Geneva was traversed in little more than six hours. Thu bodies of persons who had been drowned in Mar tigny were found flouting on the farther aide of the Lake of Geneva, near Vevey. Thou aands of tress wore torn up by the mots, and the Hearne of buildings which had been overthrown by the flood were earned down beyond Iffartigny. In fact, the flood at this point war so high that UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

EMANCIPATION IN THE SPANISH COLONIES.— An address, rgned by men of letters, professors of the Univenity of Madrid, and other gentlemen, asks the pro visional government to declare tree all children born in the Spanish West Indies after the 17th September last; to grant the political liberties of the peninsula to those pos sessions ; and to allow them to send deputies to Cortes (as was the case under two previous mustitutions) : the suffrage to be granted to all free, 26 years old, and born or natu ralised Spaniards, without distinction of colour. The committee of the Anti-Slavery Society have also pr sented an address to the provisional government of Miidrid ex pressing a hope that personal freedom will be at once conceded tot a slave population in Cuba and Porto Rico. Tim SCBSIDENCE OF Ilsweit.—The Honolulu' correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing on the lfith of August last, before he could have known of the earthquakes in South America, from the 13th to the lath of that month, says, "It is believed that Hawaii is sinking into the ocean. Ever since June last unusually high tided have prevailed along the southern and eastern shores, and it is now evident that the island has sunk • few feet on its southern and western shores• and a few inches on the east and north. At Hawaii there has been noticed a con tinued succession of volcanic waves which cannot be accounted for. The first of these waves was ob served at Honolulu on the night of the 13th of August. and at almost the Same moment it was no ticed 200 miles to the south east. They were more powerful at those pare, of Hawaii which are nearest to the South American coast. They rolled in at the rate of three or four per hour for four daps. They were net like the sweep of the furious breakers that • lashed the shores during the April eruptions, but appeared • to be the effects of SONIC gigantic oscillation Ames the Pacific.
