Dusseraona FLOODe. —The gale of Thursday night
apposes to bare been pretty wide-spree& Great &maw by
floods in Macclesfield and Congleton is morbid. At Aeit
four o'clock on Friday morning, the Vale Pool (situate on
an elevation at the west end of Coagleton), sweLles to en
unusual height by the heavy rain, overflowed, and washed
away several yards of the embankment. A dews* volume
of water rushed along the culvert which runs Waugh the
centre of the town, and which, though eight to ten feet
wide, did sot afford a sufficient outlet for the overflow.
The result was that the stream rose to 5 or 6 feet above its
ordinary level, flooding every boilding in she vicinity.
Cellars were filled to the ceiling, and basement storeys were
flooded Mt. or lift. deep. In some of the cottages slow
the comae of the stream women and children had to be
roamed through the bedroom windows. A bridge and part
of the Vale-read were washed away. In the ironmonger's
shop of Mr. Farrington' three strong doors were forced
away ; goods were washed from the front shop into the
street, and in the dining room, chairs, tables, sideboards, and
piano were floated about in the surging flood, which left its
water mark on the mirror over the mantelpiece. In the
shop of Mr. Chapman, chemist, casks of oil were bunt, and
about 2(1) gallons lost in the water which flooded the cellar.
Other shopkeepers and manufactories had been similarly
Mimed. The km is very serious, sod is estimated in the
aggregate at between 1,0001. and 2,0001. Ir Macclesfield,
the River Bolin rose to a coosiderable height, and washed
down the wooden bridge at the foot of Brunswick-bill.
The lower rooms of seven] silk mills along its banks were
flooded, and much damage done to goods and machinery.

striker ; and Henry Buckley, Pollard-street, 17

charge of char teacher, Mr. Jams Boyle, Every-street.
The boat was hired at Blackfriars-bridge, and all went
well till the party got opposite the Pomona Gardena. At
that point the boat wee allowed to get its aide to the wind,
which was then very high, and a wave upset it. Buckley
add Coyle wen suable to swim and sank immediately ;
the other two straggled to reach the shore. Boyle suc-
ceeded is doing this, bet Simpson disappeared under the
water, when within a few yards of the bank. The bodies of
Simplon and Buckley were shortly afterwards recovered,
but the body of Coyle has not yet been found. As Buck-
