In consequence of the late heavy and almost in cessant min, the waters are so much out at Egli= and Staines, the road is quite impassable. A bridge near the latter town has been entirely torn up. The Exeter and l'ool mail-coaches could not on Friday morning proceed further than Egliam, where the mails were taken from them and conveyed across, and for a considerable distance afterwards, in a boat, the roads being under water. The guards proceeded from Staines in a chaise with four I ,, ,uses to the Ge neril Post plate. The PtAsmoullt mail was delayed at Kingston on niday cuorninn• upwards of an hour, in consequence of the waters being out. The northern moils have been stopped two days by the inundations. At Newport-Pagnel the coaches could not pass the bridge, owing to the films's. The York House mail. euaelt was nearly upset on Wednesday night. Poles ite ! , ow reixed on the banks of the low. lands to indict the death of water on the roads. At Market Harborough, Northampton, and New. port-Pagnet, the waters were on Wednesday so high on the main -road, that they reached the backs of the horses. At Market Harborough and Noll( _tam pton ; the inhabitants were compelled to take up their re sidelec on the first-floor ; tnd the coach doors were opened to let the ,- ..ater pass throweh. Much rm. perry has been destroyed, but no lives lost. On Thursday there was was a tremendous storm of thunder, lio„litning, hail, and rain, at Oxcord, which continued wady rn Muir with unabated fury. The rain liter.,tic c.ane down in torrents, the streets throughout the tity v,ere like rivulets, the thunder was awfully loud, and the lig:ttnill extremely vivid. The fluid at Flow, oat Sunday morning. last, occasioned by the :remendous storm o' the preceding evening, was higher titan any that has bcc'i known in that town for nearly sixty ye:as. The dam,!ge sustained amounts to several thou and ominds. The weters in tha neighbourhood or Cambridge have risen higher during the presen, week than they have heen known to do cur many years. The !ma dows near the latml:s of the Cam arc overflowed, and in many places the roads have been rendered nearly impassable. The waters in the fens are unusually high. At Bristol and many other places, the heavy reins have been accomprnied with violent storms of wiml, thunder, and lightning ; unroofing houses, blowing down stacks of chimneys, and in some instances, burying ihe unhappy inm:tes under the ruins. On Tuesday 1...5 , the Birminghem mail, which usually arrives at Bristol ut six o'clock in the morn ing, did not reach its piece u 1 destination until one o'clock at noon : stoned et Nortoo-mills, be tween Tewkesbury mid Clocestee, where (lie water was nearly six feet deep; the guide of the. coat being lost, the horses soca got o►i their legs, the greatest danger was evident: to increase tu, diflicithy, Shurmer's stage-waggon has elso been stopped in its progress, and was rendered immovcelle one or he horses of the latter was drowned, .:rd toothier died soon after ; but by the great exertiom of the couch man and guard,the passengers and mail horses were preserved: the former were obliged to go bask to Tewkesbury ; the parcels and lugg!ge were Lit he hind, and the mail of letters conveyed at length to Glocester, from which it reached Bristol, as beihre stated, ut noun. No other coach reached Bristol front Birmingham during the day, and on the following . ~ .. ~> VIE NATIONAL REGISTER thy (..'aednesday) the mail was three hours after its time, being obli ; ed to go round by Cheltenham. In consequence or almost incessant rains, there has been a rapid succession of floods on the river Seven during the last that months. Oa Christmas attcrnuon the inentlatio t had emitted a very unu sual height, thoe e it nearly two feet below the flood 0'1795. The leads on both sides of the rivet are flooded to a gle.3 ctlent : the wa.ers had risen to pan t h us to impede the passage over Tewksbury nridge, in coasequence of whith the guards wet; to take a boat, stiim a hors; by the side of it, .eid thus gaining the road which lees sot under c.a :cr, mounted :lie nurse, end peoceeded. The late iocesstiet rains have c. used a greater flow of water throtigliout the le,, lands and valleys in Lintstilitshite, than we have heard fir: meny years. The Lotelon-road, near C..xton, Iluotingdonshire, teas on Saturday night for some time impassable for any kind of carriage, and the Ldiaburgit mail Was detained full sip hours, until the falling of the water en Wed it to effect a passage. A. the village of Gothiteicl'ester, nearly every house has been gilled with %e a ter by the ovollowing of the Ouse, and some u: the inhabitants were compelled, after mak ing their low er door, and windows as dos:: possi ble, to eject theie unweltome visitor from their ch:unber windows by bnelsets. At Wansfortl, the Nene rose so high as to inundate the yard of the Ilayeock.itin; en I we believe cveey village situated in the valleys through which the COMIC, Nene, or tVelland flows, has experienced some inconvenience :row the water. The L'AP of Lincolnshire are for the greater part three or four feet under water. At Spalding nod i.s neighbourhood, the Welland rose so high on Wednesday morning-, that the inhabitants resident near the river on the Deepi.ig-road, were called front limit. beds rte fote: n'eleck, to assist in erecting a wt. ter-tight. fence on the crown of the road, to preven the flood flowing over the Sells on the opposite side: nanibers of horses mid carts, and a very great quantity of men were emnloyed to check the inumlation; end, notwithstanding tlieie efihrts, the water had increased so ntech elmust to bid defiance to their sidempts to arrest its nrovess. A very heavy thunder-storm Vas exper'eneed on the I Sth at IP:milord and its neighbourhood, in Dotseashire.
