Wardlaw under one. Wrecked in the ill•fated Avenger, when 250 lives were lost, and three and himself survived; the verdict of the court-martial and the pre sident's speech were highly flattering and com plimentary to him for performing his duty, and for his unceasing exertions, both at the time and afterwards to try and render assistance. We know that his com mander-in-chief, Sir W. Parker, also made the most fa vourable comments on his counduct when he submitted the minutes of the Court to the Board of Admiralty, in the hopes of obtaining his promotion. He received a board latter of approval and approbation of his conduct, as also one from the late Lord Auckland. He served last in the Dauntless. The following story was told as on the best authority:—On Lieut. Rooke's first inter view with Lord Auckland, after his wreck, he apolo gised to him for his dress; upon which Lord Auckland, in shaking hands with him, said, "It is men and not clothes the service requires, and I am glad to shake hands with you in any dress." Admiral Suporintendent Prescott went off to Spit head, in the Portsmouth yacht, and paid the Britannia advanced wages. Sprightly steamer went off to the Britannia, 120, at Spithead, with some part of Admiral Dundaa's retinue and luggage, yesterday. CONVERSION OF THE WINDSOR CASTLE, LINE-OF BATTLE SHIP.— We stated a fortnight since that it was decided by the Admiralty that the Windsor Castle, a first-rate of 120 guns, building at Pembroke Royal Dock yard, and in a considerable stage of forwardness, should be lengthened amidships 30 feet, and an additional 7 feet 6 inches added to her stern, in order to render her cap able of receiving a screw-propeller, and that orders to that effect were sent to the Arsenal. These orders have been successfully carried into effect. Exactly at the midship section the stupendous fabric was divided into two parts; to the after body a perfect cradle (as for launching) was fitted with bilge-ways, poppets, ways, and sliding planks complete, the surfaces in contact being, as usual, payed with melted fat, &c. All the shores were then removed from the after-body, and by the aid of screw and wedge it was effectually slided apart to the precise extent required. The mass thus moved was upward..p of 1,100 tuns, and when completed the Windsor Castle will not only be the most powerful bat. tery afloat (mounting 140 guns), but be the larger; ship in the known world. The following are certain parti culars of the dimensions of this magnificent fabric:— Original length between the perpendiulars, 210 feet; length when completed, 240 feet 6 inches; original ton nage, 3,189 tons; tonnage when completed, about 3,759 tons; extreme breadth, 60 feet. PORTSMOUTH, FED. 6.—The Hydra steam sloop, Com mander Belgrave, will embark Major-General Cathcart and staff for the Cape of Good Hope to-morrow, and sail with them for their destination. She also takes out 50,0001. sterling for the payment of the troops engaged in the Kafir war. This was put on board of her this afternoon by Mr. G. Allen, Acting Master, command ing the steam tender Sprightly, and the Treasury officers. SHEERNESS, FEB. 4.—Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Adder, 100-horse power, James Watt in e•,arge, arrived early yesterday forenoon with a Go verement lump, laden with timber for this dockyard. The enr4o being land2d and let4direi into store, the iuunp was towel back by the Adder to Chatham the same at!erLoon.

A nacre •cemplete wreck, a mere melancholy scene than Holm firte presents to the theusands who bare visited it, fins nev.-r been beheld.

Altogether the scene is one of heart-to:ding misery ; numbers, who retired to rest tee hig%t behfre last, in cornFortahle eireutnstaccea, now find themselves hornelcsit, penniless, and so far as their im mediate relstiv. are exact - trued, friendless. -The confusion and uncertainty is still so great that it is inapessible to ascertain the number of persons who t.ye pi-rished e but from ail that we can learn, about 60 'bodies have been recovered, and it is thought that at lenat 40 mere arc missing. The of ect number cannot, • however, be ascertained for some days. Some of the 'bodies, as stated yesterday, have been found a distance of many miles from the scene of the disaster. ;•f' i 'Belote proceeding further with our narrative of this ni)st clishstruus event, it may enable our readers to be betta, it able to comprehend the nature of the catastrophe, if we describe with more accuracy than yesterday the position of the reservoirs attd the nature of the locality. Holudirth is about 'seven miles from Huddersfield, and is approached by the Huddersfield and Penistone • Railway. The town is built in a deep valley, having ini minise .ranges of hills on each side, and tit the lowest htevel, in. a .etenewhet circuitous course through the centre of the -town, winds the river Helms, which is crossed at different points by four stone bridges, called the Bridge, thon g 's Bridge, Vi c to r i a B r id ge , an d U pper Br i dge. kroinLlohtenirtb through the valley of the .Holme for a df - Aevi4al miles; amengst alubiest Alpine menu taineezon deep ,ravines, with scarcely an outlet forthree or four miles, when they terminate on vast tracts of moorland. Upon.the bed of these vast ravines runs a strong mountain stream, which is increased, as it rushes on from the moors, by the atreamlets which fail down the hill sides, until it reaches Holme Bridge, where it empties itself in the river Holme, which passes through Holmfirth. On each side of this river are erected numerous scribbling and fulling mills along the .whole course of too valley, built there with the view of ifOng advajitege of the water power which this water course furnisher. As the supply of water in droughty weather is inadequate fur the purposes required, the idea .w.aa conceived of storing the element in huge re servoirs at Abe. top of - the highest hills, and it was to the bursting of one of these reservoirs that the present frightful destruction of life and prop: sty is attributable. The " Helms reservoirs" are three ic.number, and are ferreted at the top of the hills, some distance from each other. • • They are called " the Bilberry," " the Holm- Vye,!". and "tlie: Base shaw" reservoirs. They were made undeethe authority of an Act of Parliament passed in 1840 ; and constructed_ under the superintend ence o f Hr. Lather, C.E., of Leeds. The cost of the whole was 70,0001. or more, 40,000/, of which was raised in *cares, and, the other 30,0001. on mortgage of the works, (he company of shareholders having power to lay rates up,an - thernillLawnera. using the water. As a pecuni ary ,4ectilation the undertakiog,has proved a failirre, owing to heavy ,law expenses. The par e 'rQservjsjt eemele ere: leas , caused the - present Irestiticfni 'le the Bilberry," It is situated three miles from Holmfirth, at the foot of the Moors, which extend from the Yorkshire and Cheshire hills, and terminate in a bluff or hill, called " Good Bent." the reservoir lies between two hills, called Hobrook hill and Lion-bank, the former of which forms its north, and the latter its south boundary. The water for this reservoir is supplied by the confluence of two streams at the toot of " Good Bent" bluff, which drain the vast extent of moorland in that district for many miles. The embankment to form the other side of the reservoir is constructed a lisle lower down, where the valley or ravine widens, and by this means, with two natural em haekinenb, and the one alluded to, a vast reservoir is formed with: a surface of eleven acres or more. Tho depth is said, to have been eighty-four feet. The surplus Water was carried away by a tunnel, running under the reservoir, communicated with by a funnel or chimney, in the centre of the reservoir, worked by means of a ehnttle; • :This shuttle, it has been alleged, has latterly become unworkable, preventing the surplus water from beieg let cut, and as the heavy rains have very much the reservoir, its weight acting upon what has tong been considered an insecure embankment, the lat 'er suddenly gave way, and the waters pent up rushed down the ravine, and along the valley of the Holme, with-a force which Lutist have been perfectly resistless. As we have inumated, the embankment of the reser voiehae always, feuin being leaky; been regarded,asAin sate, and from time to time rumours have been circulated in Holudirth that it was likely to give way. The elm pany's servants were watching it on Wednesday, and, in tr,nsequenee of something that transpired, the whole of t"'"iii" roanezted with the Dighley Mill, which is ;war the reservoir, fortunately removed the night before. Had they not done so, there would doubtless have been serietti kelclilion to the present tearful loss of life. The premises coesisted of a m il l 14 yards square and four stories high; a weaving shed, with 34 power looms at wo rk; steam-engine and water power; two superior dweilifw.-houses, one occupied by Mrs. Hirst (widow of the late Mr. GeOrge Hire: anti the other by ), a n d T am il ;air, Henry Beardsall ; a l so cottages and numerous out y, buildings; making altogether quite a small town. These premises stood in a widish pert of the valley, but not far from a curve in the valley, and when our reporter visited the place yesterday, there was literally not one stone left upon another; the whole buildings were swept away, with the exception of a tall engine chimney, round the gurgled the s till f oam i ng and angry b w a :t e er o s f . wAhmicoh still gurgl e d destruction cannot be imagined. rho engine was carried to a considerable distance down the stream; where it remains imbedded in the mud. The rumours which induced the parties at Dighley to re move were current in Holmfirth the same evening, but unfortunately the inhabitants, from often having heard similar report', disregarded them, and retired to rest, hoping that all would be well. The waters burst their harrier a little after one o'clock yesterday morning, and, iron& the 'appearances which everywhere present them selves, must neve swept eve r ythi ng b e f ore t h em w i t h most. t-rrific fotee. From concurrent statements, it would eeem as if the whole body of accumulated waters tumbled:down -the valley together in ono vast over whelthing mass. Their passage down to Holmfirth, a distance of three miles, occupied less than half an hour, and in rather more than an hour they had receded from the houses. In consequence of the narrowness between the bluffs on eithei side, a vast volume of water was kept together, to spend its force upon Holmfirth, after which it got more into the open country (which was very much under water the whole of yesterday), all the way down to Henley, Armitage-bridge, Huddersfi e ld, and even below Mirtield.

A few hundred yards below the reservoir stood a small building two storeys high, called Bilberry Min. It was in the occupation of Mr. Joseph Broadhead, asd used as a scribbling and dressing mill. This was built on one side ; and rather out of the direct course of the torrent, as it rolled in its leviathan proportions down the valley. The end of the mill was caught by the sudden swell, and about ten feet length and its gable washed down the valley. A man at this mill stated that he witnessed the overflow of the embankment when the ordinary channel out of the reservoir had become two small for the out pouring—that the water rolled over the embankment until a large breadth and depth had been washed away, and then the puddlebank and the inner lining of the re servoir to the depth of fifty feet gave way in one im mense body, and down went masses of rock weighing several tens, and everything else that offered the slight est olßtaclc,‘ to its onward course. At a short distance down the valley, and on the tame side as Bilberry Mill, stood Digley Upper Mill, lately occupied by Mr. John Furniss, woollen manufacturer, whose affairs are now in the hands of the Leeds Bank ruptcy Court. This building was a block of stone work, consisting of a factory, a largo house; with farm building and outhouses. The end of the mill is washed away, a quantity of machinery, and a large amount of property in the shape of pieces, warps, &c., destroyed, and the gable'end of the house, which is comparatively n a Iv, a nd the whole of the farm-buildings swept away. In the latter were twelve tons of hay, three mulch cows, a horse, a goat, and several heads of poultry, which were carried down the stream. In the house was Mrs. Furniss and her two children, and in a bed in one of the chambers were two messengers from the Bankruptcy Court. They were alarmed at the rapid rise of the water about half-past twelve o'clock, and left the house. One of the messengers, named William could land on terra firm Crompton, had barely time to put his clothes on, and get bursting7 o ; 17ethheadrisin g ground, before the final burst took place. wtandoe bank, p k t o a.a t n h d e d middle eserib e i s n it water h eber rising he f like reverberating thunder.

Its gable end and one window from the top to the bottom , of the building washed away. The lower rooms are storie s This o h f l driven g v below,b with y the aa completely gutted, an d .th machinery in the upper stories thrown to get h er in . heaps.

The fsunda thus of the bri3ge were washed completely bare. The wall surroundteg the church was swept away by tha torrent, and the few trees planted in the yard were fiprooted cod carried enisvu the stream. 'The interior of tee church and the graveyard soon presented a most awful spectacle. lodide the building the water bad risen about five feet. The floor was torn up-the pews were floating, and the floor covered with sued and mud sew:- rsl inches thick. In the ceetre of the aisle was laid the body of a goat that had Fe:re washed Wore Upper Digley mill, and within a f ew f eet of it,, resting on the scat f one of the pews, lay the remains of an infant, and on the top of the stairs leading into the gallery icy a coffin con taining the remains of a lull grown man. loth these human relics, with others not yet found, had been washed up from their graves by the whirlpools formed by the head long current, as it paesed over the...churchyard. The road and fields from the reservoir downwards are still covered with huge masses of atone. tied other substeuces, of which the bank of the reservoir had been formed. Hincheliffe Upper Mill was the next Place reached by the rushing water; and here, as the stressixt was more con fined in its channel by the buildings ereeted on its edge, the devastation was immense, a n d thq 104 of life consi derable. Six houses, which form e _ t, Ise . were hurled down by the flood, and nearlYcli Ginmates perish ed. Tho dwellings in this neighbourhood not washed down were in some cases flooded into the chambers; and in one in dividuals, who saved their lives by getting on an ad joofinthine—th gm roof. e e l e n d mo one t l o e f f t t s h t e a rn u d in n g 1 --there were 16 the inmates were drowned. Their names are James B ooth and his wife, and a lodger named William Healey, I n the Same block of buildings the wife of Joseph B rook, clothier, while endeavouriug to save herself and child, perished with her infant in her arms The following is a list of the occu pants of the houses that were taken down at Hinchliffe Mill, as nearly as could be asertained from the neigh bours, who were all busy with mop!, buckets, and bar rows. clearing their houses from the refuse of the floOdt—The first house was occupied - by Miss Marsden and three others; the second by Joseph Dodd, steam tenter, his wife, and two children; the thi r d b y Jonathan Crossland and seven others; the fourth by James Mef ternich, clothier, and nine others; the fifth by Joshua Earnshaw, master clothier, his little girl, and two sons; and the sixth by John Charlesworth, c l ot hi er, and nine others —out of the whole of whom only seven were saved, leaving t hi r ty-two to be account e d for. At the New Inn, a t Hinchliffe Mill, seven of the bodies of those who were drowned in their houses were laid out. The damage in the mill seemed to have been confined to the lower story, the windows of which, and those of the se cond story, are blocked with broken machinery, heavy pieces of timber and furniture. w ider below this point, and i n the The count r y grow s centre of' a wide valley stands Bottom's Mine From the open country here offering little resistance to the stream, this factory, which is a very large one, sustained com paratively only trifling damage. Ina cottage on the hill-side opposite to Bottom's Mill was• laid the son of James Metternich, of Hinchliffe Mill, just mentioned, from whom we obtained the fol lowing statement He is about 24 years of age. He said—here were ten of us in our house, my father, step-moth er, and e i ght c hild ren . Someb o d y came and roused us just after one o'clock. I put on my trousers. My step-mother and I stood on the stairs. We looked out of the windows and saw a large quantity of water and sticks coming down. From their appearance we knew the reservoir had burst. I and my step-mother came down stairs, then stood on the stairs, and my fa ther handed us the children who were asleep in the house for us to lift into the chamber. The water burst in at the window and through the door, filled the lower room and half filled the chamber. I ran with the rest into the garret, except my father and one child, who we expected were drowned in the house. About half a minute after we had got into the garret the whole house gave way, and we were all swept down the stream, and I saw no more of any of them. No part of the house touched me that I know of, When I got into Harpen's (Bottom's) dam I caught hold of a piece of wood and sprang up. I got a sob of breath, and then went under the water and lost my hold of tho plank ; on coming up again I got hold of an other and again rolled over; at last I got hold of a large piece of timber and kept my hold. I got hold of a small piece of wood and paddled it towards the side. A gust of wind then came and blew me towards the land on thwAustonley side. I leaped off the tisrissereandetell up to my neck in water, but . I mana b geren sevfitilblo out of the water, an d a ft er falling several times I got into Hannah Barry's, and stripred my trousers and shirt (all I had on) and went to bed. I was nearly exhausted. Tee next buildin g i n the valley is Victoria Mill, which bad sustained little damage beyond the disar rangement and partial breakage of the machinery in the lower story. In the yard of this factory three houses were swept away, but no lives lost. Within a stone's throw of Victoria Mill stands Dyson's Mill, which was occupied by Mr. Jonathan Sandford. In the yard of the factory Mr. Sandford re sidod. His house was s wept away, and with it weretaken himself, his two childreu, and his servant. The andfactory also sustained very serious damage in its wa ll s machinery. Prockleton, or Farrar's Upper min, is the next, the large dyehouse of which was com letely destroyed, with its huge pans and fixtures. ,Thezep were the property of Mr. John Farrar. The factory known as the Lower Mill is situate a littl e l ower, and was built across the stream. The torrent carried the greater portion of the factory along with it, leaving O! the two endstanding. This factory was filled with v y aluable machinery and woollen material, and is the pro per ty of Mr. Hobson Farrar. In the fact ory yard two children named Wood cock were drowned, and a little further down a third was discovered dead. At the George Inn, near this pl nine bodies, prin cipally recovered from the stre a ti ce 4 are now laid. Amongst them were Jonathan Crossland, of Hinchliffe Mill, and his scn, a Young m an, the latter of whom had been taken out at Upp er Mill where he had been so ti g htly wedged int o the Wall that two men had hard work to drag him out.

The whole of the new goit made by Messrs. Broadbent for Bridge Mill was torn up, and also the embankment for the water lodge. The water took its course right through the mill and made sad havoc, but the building is yet standing. The mill of Joseph Brook and Son was also damaged. The end of Mr. George Robinson's falling mill, at Thongsbridge, was taken down; the boiler-house and the counting-house completely levelled, but a cottage house, nearer the water, weathered the storm. The occupant of the cottage, while surrounded with water, gave himself up for lost, especially when he saw the raging element tear up the boiler and toss it about as if it were only a feather, but both man and his cottage es caped. On the opposite side of the river is the mill of Messrs. Winpenny. and Woodhead. The water swept through the lower part of the mill, and carried away the dry-house and other outbuildings. The engine-man lived in a cottage on the premises. It was filled with water and gutted. In the moment of peril, he sprung to the window to escape, but before he left it, it occurred to him to look back for his child, and on turning round he saw it just swimming out beside him; he only just caught it by a leg or an arm, and thus saved both himself and child. The above are all the particulars it was possible to gather up to last night. The mischief is too extensive, and the loss of both life and property too vast, to get at once at all the details.

(From the Leeds. Mercury of this day.) FLOOD AT SE TTLE. This neighbourhood has been for some time past ex tremely wet. The fall of rain on Wednesday was very heavy. Some of the oldest inhabitants declare that there has not been such a flood of rain in the neigh bourhood for the last forty years. We are glad to say, however, that the flood has not been the cause of any damage that we hear of. FLOOD AT KEIGHLEY. For some time past the weather in this locality has been very open, with scarcely a day's intermission with out rain. Oa Wednesday last we had a complete hurri cane. The rain poured down accompanied with a strong wind from the south-west, which blew a regular gale. The brooks in the vicinity were swollen and overflowed their banks, and tho flood was so great that the various mills situated below the junction of the North and Lay -e•oirrwaters were obliged to atrand needy' ette vihble day. great Tiantity of roots, branches, and other wreck passed down the Lowbridgo beck, together with a pig, out no great amount of damage was done. FLOOD AT TADOASTER. Oa Thursday, the river Wharf inundated its banks, so that the Hign-street was nearly covered with water, and the inhabitants were obliged to occupy their upper roofs. GREAT FLOOD AT TODMORDEN. In this locality during th n — ° early part of the week we had h eav y falls of ra i n, especially on Tuesday evening, when many of the inhabitants residing in those parts which are at such times subjected to be inundated, be came alarmed. About half-past eight o ' c l oc k a tremen dons shower of rain a n d h a il tool: place, accompanied a little thunder and li g h tning. The river Calder became much swollen, w hi c h continued with little ap parent alteration till b e t ween twelve and two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, when the body of water was so great, that it overflowed the banks of the watercourse at Shade, running down the turnpike road, and forced its way into the cellars and dwolling-houses, and the resi dents had to remove what furniture they could, and seek safety elsewhere. The scene now presented was one of great confusion and bustle, espe cially in Salford, from which pigs and other animals had to bo removed for safety, the water extending from Shade to Salford. Messrs. Fielden's hands had to enter the factory by means of planks, which were floating like boats on its muddy surface. At Toad Carr, in Btsrnlsy road, the body of water was so great that a portion of the walls of the watercourse was prostrated, t h e stream greatthe housesviolence;being two feet as was al s o deep in water.

Singu larly enough, coincident! with this invasion of water, Carlisle is in continual fear of hydrophobia. Several dogs have gone stark mad within the lad day or two, and no less than a dozen persons have been bitten, some very seriously indeed. The circumstance has created quite a sensation. The town is in a fever, as it is known that two of the animals are still at large. The authorities have been appealed to, and the police have orders to catch every stray dog they can, and shoot all that are not claimed. The consequence is, that a great number of dogs have been shot, the owners not daring to .come forward to claim their respective animals, as the superintendent at once hands them (the owners) over to the district surveyor to be " taxed," which, in nineteen cases out of twenty, had not previously befallen them.

The next l shop to this had recently been taken by Mr. William son, a draper, cud was to have been opened on Saturday (this day), it having been stocked with goods'to the amount ol 6001. When the rush came, the window was burst in by the root of a largo tree, which was eirried with such force, that it passed through the shop qnd out at the opposite end of the building, carrying part of th e wall and flooring with it. Mr. Charles Boocock, who has just commenced as a grocer, had a quantity of pro visions destroyed and the back part of his premises taken away. About 1001. damage has been done ,to the stock of Mr. Lswson, antler, and a like ansouo to the .stock of Mr. R. Harrison, grocer. The lower part of the house of Mr. Charles worth, the magiatrato, was filled with water, but no lives were lost. c The hoUse and shop of Mr. Gareide, in Towngate, was much injured in the lower part, the water entering in at the window and coming out at the shop door. The damage is estimated at from 200/. to 300/. The water also passed through the Jolly Hatter's Inn; and a shoe-shop in the neigh bourhood, belonging to Elliot Brown, was completely swept away. In the locality of Mill Fuld the flood broke down several houses, and all their occupants and families have perished. S. Hartley, engineer, of Ilolvafirth Mill, and all his family, are supposed to have lost their lives. The house of Richard Shackleton was alsotaken dawn by the torrent, and both be and his wife, and two children, have ditlippeared. At the opposite side of the river, at this point, is a burial-ground attached to the Wesleyan chapel. Part of the vestry was destroyed, the 'grave yard torn up, and coffins floated away from their resting places. The vault in which the body of the late John Harpin, Esq , of Birks House, was interred about two years ago, was torn open, and the coffin with the re mains of the deceased was carried away. Mr. Harpin was one of the chief promoters of the "Holme reservoir' scheme. LAW INTELLIGENCE.; COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 6. (Sittings in Banco after Hilary Term.) The after-term sittings in banes) commenced this morning before Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr. Baron Platt. Their Lordships sat in the Bail Court, as the Exchequer Chamber was occupied by the Court of Error. BELLAMY v. MAJORIBANKS—JUDGMENT. Mr. Baron PARSE delivered the judgment of the Court in this case, which had been reserved for a few days, after the announcement that the Court had con curred in making the rule absolute, in order that the parties might again go to trial without delay. This action was brought to recover the amount of a cheque for 2,5361. 175., which, it was contended on be half of the plaintiff, Coutte' bank, represented in this action by the defendant, had improperly paid to Gosling and Co., it being a " double-crossed" cheque, with the words " Bank of England: for the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery." At the trial before Mr. Baron Martin, at the Middlesex sittings after Trinity Term last, the plaintiff set up a custom of bankers, with reference to cheques of this ,kind, whereby it was con tended that the bank ought to have exercised greater caution before paying the one in question, in which case the payment would have been made into the proper hands. The verdict was found for the plaintiff, and in Michaelmas Term a rule was obtained for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, and the verdicts being against evidence. The Learned BARON, in delivering the judgment of the Court upon this rule, said that, as already intimated, the Court had come to the conclusion that there should be a new trial, on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to support the verdict pronounced by the jury. If this had been an ordinary case, the Court would pro bably hare confined it se lf to merely expressing its opi nion; but in this controversy there was involved a ques tion of so much importance in the practice of bankers with respect to cheques of this description, that it seemed rieht to state with some particularity the neture of the question to which the attention of the jury should be called at the new trial. Ttn., first count was a special count, inferring sncluty consequent, on ativr43egerl-crstorn and usaf , e, of banktr, to too effect that tf , e Unclant was not to pay the cheque otherwise than into and through tho Bank of England, and teen alleging a breach by payment of the chcque to Goslings and Co. To this count there was a ple:, denying any such date'. Them wes also a count for money lent, us to what the de fendant pleaded payment; and on the. isr.nen atistng upon thoes two pleas, tho parti,” rested their cases re spectively. The objection on tho ground of misdirec tion Was abandoned by the Learned Counsel for the defendant, who then contended merely that the ver dict a , . to the first count, tied as to the plea of payment tb the second count, was against evidence. The plaintiffs counsel contended that the crossing of the cheque to the Benk of England absolutely restricted the negotiability of the instrument in savour of the Bank of England only, and even the account mentioned upon it, viz., the Accountant -General, and no other person. Evidence was given, during two days, to prove a bind ing custom end usages of bankers to this effect, but the CoUrt was of opinion that no such custom was proved. The custom alleged could only bo proved by a long and universal course of practice clearly established; but so far from that having been the case, many witaeases, called from London banking-houses, denied the exist ence of the custom altogether. Bantling -houses in Lon don were in comparatively few hands ; and it seemed to the Court to be absurd to suppose that there should be any such duty cast upon bankers as was alleged iu the first count. The verdict on this point, therefore, was against the weight of evidence. The Court was also of opinion that such a custom, if proved, would be incapable of being supported in point of law. The Learned Counsel for the plaintiff both at the trial and on the argument, relied with great confi dence on the count for money lent, and insisted that the payment to Gosling's of a eh( clue doubly crossed, in the manner in which the cheque in question was crossed, was an unauthorised and negligent act, and that the defendant had no right to credit himself with it. If this contention were well founded, the defendant would be wholly without a defence, as the only answer to this count was the plea of payment. It was also alleged that the addition of th e cross i ng to the bank of Eag lsnd, with the words " for the account of the Accountant- General of the Court of Chancery," imposed a greater e degree of responsibility upon the defendant . None the witnesses attach e d muc h i mportance to this ° many of circum stance, however, as agai ns t th e d e f en d an t, and was them even considered it t o ma k e i n his favour; it well known that the Bank of England w orl d a cheque for the Accountant-General so not receive l. crossed.of An other point was argued by Mr. linthan o n behalf the plaintiff—that the crossing of the cheque, not by th e holder, but by the drawer, who had the power to state any direction he pleased to his bankers, was equivalent to an addition to the cheque of an express direction that i t should not be paid to bearer, but to the Bank of Eng land. He admitted, however, that in such a case the defendant was not bound to pay the Bank of England, as the alteration would bring the cheque within the Ope tion of the stamp law. At the trial ttto evidence did not ma k e any distinction between the meaning of the words when written by the customer of the Bank, and the meaning they would have when written by a third per son; and the Court had before intimat e d i ts opinion that, according to the weight of evid ence, they had not the restrictive meaning attributed to them by the plaintiff's counsel. As had been said before, the Court felt strong] that to carry the argument furth er, or to make a bankeyr res p o nsible to his customers for the appropriation by the B3nk of a crossed cheque, w ou l d render the conducting of the business of banking very difficult, if not impracti cable, and would cast very serious, dprobably • these a csisvons, impediment s i n the course of an the money trans actions of the co untry. For reasons the Court had come to the conclusion that the rule should be made ab solute for a new trial—Rule absolute.

On Wednesday it rained incessantly the whole of the day, and the river Roche began to overflow its banks by noon. The fields at Oakenrod•bridge were many of them laid completely under water. At five o'clock, when the flood was at the highest, some parts of Packer-street were 12 or 14 inches deep with water. The river Roche is said to have risen considerably higher than it was at the flood in August, 1799, which was the forerunner of " Barley Times." The water at the bridge was six inches higher than it has ever been since it was built.

CARLISLE, FEB. 3.—ln consequence of the heavy fall of rain on Monduy in this neighbourhood the river Eden and all its tributaries have swollen to an extent . beyond the recollection of any living person, and it Is feared that great damage has been done to adjoin ing property. The waters of the Caldo w and the Petteril, and the Eden, into which the two former streams run, burst their boundaries in all direc tion s, sweeping hedges and fences of all descriptions be fore their overpowering torrent. Hill-born streams are well known, and the wary Cumbrians have in general avoided building their habitations within the dange rous vicinity of the banks; but so great was the flood that even the lower portions of houses were filled with water, and even public thoroughfares, in compara tively high situations, are submerged to the depth of many feet. The scene in the immediate vicinity of Carlisle is at this moment peculiarly , strikieg. reach N othing but water for miles, as far the eye el, with here and there a portion of a tree projecting , from the surface, as if to mark the extent of the deluge. Pre cautions in the shape of double banks a nd hi g h barriers have long since been constructed to keep the rivers within bounds during the rainy season, but these were of no avail. The waters extended up to the Castle walls on one side, and to the foot of magnificent Eden bridge could scarcely be seen, and the por tion of the Caledonian Railway which runs on a high embankment to the north seemed to be in immi nent danger of destruction. On the other side of Eden-b r id ge ' the desolation seems to be even morel complete a n d melancholy grand.
