DISASTROUS FLOODS IN NATAL About one . o'clock in the morning, a rushing sound betokened too truly that the Umgeni River, which has its proper debouchure about three miles north of this town, had broken its banks, and was pouring through the new channel, along the Vley or swampy flat that skirts our sea beach, within the bush that forms the embankment east wards of the Indian Ocean. Morning light revealed a scene of majestic yet terrible grandeur. Through and across not only the swamp, but the pasture land that skirts it on either side, a wide and mighty torrent rushed with impetuous fury, bearing down on its heaving bosom, uprooted trees and masses of bush, lately rejoicing in the verdure of their security, but now torn and mangled, hastening to destruc tion. Here and there, amid the foaming, raging flood, stood out green oases, in the surging wilderness of waters, and two cottages were completely insulated, imminently exposed to the further on-coming of the flood, The first efforts were directed towards saving the lives thus exposed; and the mayor (Mr. Cato), his brother, Mr. John Cato, and others connected with his establishment, incurred no slight peril in rescuing the helpless from destruction, by means of boats. In doing so, Mr. J. Cato, Mr. Povell, and some others, nearly perished, and were ultimately rescued with difficulty, or rescued themselves by gallantly stemming the torrent. The flood continued to rise higher and higher, until about nine o'clock ; and was not less than half a mile wide near its debouchment, below Mr. Cat's. The last time the Umgeni broke through its bank, and came into the bay, was on the 15th of April, 1848, precisely eight years ago ; but we understand, from the older residents, that the flood of water was not so great as on the present occasion. This new outfall of the Umgeni may change considerably the c indition of this town ; and it will be a serious question whether to permanently secure it for the purposes of com merce and health, or effectually to prevent, by a proper embankment along its old channel, the recurrence of such a disaster. One of the incidents of this flood was the prema ture and involuntary launch of Messrs. Cato's new schooner, from the beach at the outfall of the old creek, where she was built. The flood broke away the framework that held her, and she was carried out into the bay, without, we believe, much damage. This occurred about seven o'clock in the morning. Perhaps the most serious damage, in a colonial point of view, is that which the cane fields, in this neighbourhood, have sustained, The Springfield cane fields, abutting on Umgeni, on the other side of the Berea hills, were early submerged by the overflowing of the river, and it is believed a large part of the crop is injured, and some of it destroyed. Several families residing near the river are rendered homeless by the visitation, and we deeply regret to state that great losses of cattle, horses, poultry, farm utensils, and even household furniture have been sustained. At the Springfield mill the water rose so high as to surround the mill ; and a loose sugar pan, waggon, and other articles, were swept away. Happily the new channel so far relieved the main stream that the disastrous effects were partly stayed. North of the Umgeni (says the _Mercury of the 25th of April) scarcely any of the rural settlements have escaped serious damage. The mill lately erected by Mr. Walton,. at the Umhlangi, together with the dam for the supply of its water power, are swept away by the flood, and serious injury was done to the crops and homesteads in that neighbourhood At Verulem the whole of the cultivation on the flat adjacent to the Unihloti, is not only entirely destroyed, but the soil is covered thick with sand, and thus, for the present, rendered useless. The houses in the village and neighbourhood have all suffered more or less, and the Kaffir (Wesleyan) Chapel is partially washed down. Beyond Verulem, owing to the state of the roads, no Communication took place for more than a week ; and we regret to learn that the accounts now to hand give details of numerous and serious losses in the injury done to crops, buildings, and stock. The chief sufferers at Varulem are Mesers. Andrews, Johnson, Thomas and Richard Groom, and William Starr. Southwards of Durban, we are happy to report, the damage to the cane crops was not so great as was apprehended. From Tongaati we learn that, in one night the river rose higher than any of the residents had known it before, and within 16 hours it had entered into a large brick shed of about 180 ft. by 30 ft , which was 17 ft. above the level of the river. Unfortunately this building had been made use of as a shed for timber, hides, tallow, &c., and was filled with unburnt bricks, ready for the kiln. During the day the water rose rapidly till it reached the roof and before the next day the building had been swept away, carrying with it much dry wood, hides, &c., which could not be saved the day before, although all hands worked hard during the day, in the deep water, and not without danger from alligators. The rise of the former heavy floods was not known by any here to reach more than 16 feet; on this occasion it came to within two feet of the sugar-house buildings, which by measurement are 32 feet 6 inches above the ordinary level. The extent of the losses is not yet known, but they are very heavy—at least 30,000 bricks, for the Tongaati works, the shed above referred to, sugar-coolers, hides, tallow, tools, &c., and about 500 loads of-excellent fuel (dry sugar cane) which cannot be replaced. These were on a flat 26 feet above the ordinary level, and were invaluable to us. In addition to these disasters, many oxen, it is feared, are dead from cold, or were washed down the river at night, and much damage is done to green unfinished brick.—. Natal Mercury, April 18.

LiverpoSEPTEMBER - 01. .—„' 106' TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—The above is a subject which ought long since to have been brought before the public eye. The cause of complaint arises from the fewness of their number, and the consequent defenceless state of the inhabitants and their property. Seven is the number of men employed to watch and protect the persons and property of the resi dxetnwt Brighton, h S t e o a n c , o a m n b d e ,afigre theirmo nt, surroundingiscar , ulton, Wallasey, neighbourhoods; and not very long ago, the number was but three. So that it almost follows, as a matter of necessity (and without any blame being attached to the men), that when a policeman is wanted, he cannot be procured for perhaps one or two hours, as each man's beat extends to the dis tance of several miles around. A police station has been erected, but to what use ? Go at night, and the chances are a hundred to one that it is locked up and empty, because a policeman cannot be spared to take care of it. I will not trespass much further on your space; suffice it to say, that last night a policeman was wanted (owing to an undoubted attempt to enter a house), but though oeciv,ear, and d s e a a t r c t h ti e w p a o s l i m e e a . d s t e a a t i b o o n u t w h h e i i c m h mweadsi,a as t e n u e s i u g a h l locked up and empty), not one could be found till upwards of an hour or more afterwards, when one arrived in the is ordinary preposterous courseof his be a t ,Th The which,b blame maes certainlyal r eady mentioned, attached to the men or their inspector and superintendent, all of whom are very vigilant and extremely civil, but to the commissioners, or those who have the appoi n t ment, &c., &c., of the men. Taxes, rates, &c., h ave t o b e paid extent.in abundance for the certainly nominal benefit (?) of a police force (among other things), certainly sufficient (one would think) to provide more than seven men for so many and such extensive districts. Hoping this may meet the eye of one who has a manag ing hand in these affairs, and who will kindly exert himself to amend so bad a state of things, I am, sir, yours, &c., LEX.
