THE devastations lately - caused by the over flow of the rivers in Germany, and particularly in the Grand Duchy of Baden, the Hessian Provinces on the Rhine, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg, have compelled nearly 60,000 poor sufferers to appeal for relief, in their almost indescribable dis tress, to the charitable British Nation. Through whole dis tricts the waters have swept off every description of property, altd all their little farming stock. At this period of the y ear theseverity of the weather, much more intense there than in England, adds to their misery, and a more pitiable case was hardly ever laid before that nation, whose benevolence has never hitherto been called upon in vain. By far the greater part of these unfortunate people have numerous families, and are at this moment in want of every necessary of life. In making their inelancholy situation' known -to Great Britain, Mr. N. M. Zathschild entertains a firm hope, that these numerous sufferers S.ll not he the first from whom the proverbial benevolence of tl, Nation will be withheld.

In the course of a few hours the Promenade on the beach was-completely washed away all the houses in front of the sea, and many of those in the lower parts of the town, were greatly damaged, and some totally destroyed, by . which many families have been re duced to the greatest nistress. A Meeting was immediately convened, when a liberal Subscription was-entered into, by, which the losses of the poorest classes were in some measure relieved. A second Meeting was held on Monday, the 29th inst., E. B. Lqwutda, Esq. in the Chair, when the Rev. W. Jenkins, the Rev'. C. W. Ethelston, John Carslake, Esq.; and Mr. John Newberry, were named us a CoMmittee, who were desired to appeal to a generous and hitmane Public, in aid those dis tressed tradesmen whose heavy losses the former Subscription proves inadequqe to repair.

After the 19th of January, when'thefruivs took place, they resorted to threats of tallying wa it i n India, horse. whipping, end other Measures not likely to induce him to sub tnit. Atter the - refusal to marry she did not .seem unhappy ; she appeared attractive, and a Clergyman offered to ninny her. He thought her an innocent girl, well brought up, but lie was deceived, and expressed his disapprobation of the con» duct of Mr. White in having introduced him to such a person. Several witnesses were then examined for the 'defence, and •amongst °them— Mr. William Lewis, father of the defendant, said be heard that his son had formed an attachment for the plaintiff in June, 1023 = bia eon was an -Ensign, at 701. per annum returned home in consequence of illness, and had 951. a year (luring his absence ; the witneas, at that time was in trade ; he remem. bored.

The answer was, that her father had retired from business, Was living on his pro.. petty, and she being a favourite' daughter, would have more than any other child.' Two days after that interview he received r an anonymous letter. The letter was read. it purported to give him the character of' Miss Amelia Wharton.
