TOL INUNDATION AND THE Itsmwsv.—The lines of rails
have been carefully watched ainre the inundation of
Thursday, and everything is secure. It was not as
reported from fear of drowning out the tires, that the
first train was delayed, on Thursday. but from uncertainty
as to whether gravel or stones might he on the rails, and
even interfering with the points. I /nly a few inches of
water were on the rails, though in some parts of Chesil it
