GREAT INUNDATIONS IN THE VALLEY OP
THE THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)

WINDSOR, Tremor.
This morning an inspection of a portion of the
line of country traversed by the Thames, and mere
especially the districts of Berk& Books, Middleiu,
and Surrey, lying upon its banks, has proved the
inundation to be one of the most extensive of his
years. Daring the night the waters have rim
still higher, end driven by the wind have Ir
mooched greatly upon the country. Rain has also fella
heavily and tended much to swell the flood. The low lyisi
lands at Maidenhead, Taplow, Bray, Barony, and Clow
are under water, and, as in most instances the towing ream
end locks are covered, navigation in these parts is com y
LS
suspended till the flood subsides. From the r el
Clewer, a hamlet on the west of Windsor, the large •
lake, caused by the sadden incursion of the ioundstiou, eel
which skirts the western suburbs of Windsor and Etas, ha
increased in size in the course of the night and this more*.
The water is flowing round is portion of the gasworks is
Doswell-lane, the newly-erected houses facia; the "Goo.
wells," which meadows, as well as the Ewa, Brow, tai
the South meadows, are covered to some depth. The ie.
undetiou on the western outskirts of the royal horollio
Eton and Eton College being very senora. Some of the
thoroughfares are impasmble, the waters having rises cox
the roads, where punts are obliged to be used for the pm.
poses of communication with some of the houses. Os the
east of Windsor Castle the flood rolls over large polaroid
the royal demesne, nearly the whole of It.
Home-park between the South Western Balm
and the Date-bet road is submerged, and still for
tber in the direction of Frogmore the water can be ran
glistening between the avenues of trees. Thus swig
large lake has been formed on the east of Windex
and Eta., the flood being triumphant in Irving
very little of the College grounds and " EOM
Fields " above water. The low Incas round Dacha
and Old Windsor are suffering from the rapid ea
of the water, and between the Datchet station of Ye
South-Western line and that at Wraysbury the old came
of the Thames is scarcely to be traced, the land berated,
having been turned into another extensive lake, the waxi
of which have surrounded one or two isolated mamma
least a quarter of a mile from the river.
On the west of Egham and Staines the waters have axe
last night made great encroachment upon the land, sad Iw
• great distance across the country there is en extant
sheet of water. The Linoleum Works are partly surrounds&
and the flood hes inundated the meadows on each side ii
the Reading branch of the South Western Railway, .see
Staines Junction.

At present. owing to the rain and winds, there sew
every prcepect of the floods still rising, and should thuds
en another foot or two, it must cause great damage toile
ricks and other property oat in the fields.

MR. GORDON'S LAST LErrea.—The Jamaica
Morning Journal, of the 23rd ult., contains the follow*
letter :—" To the Editor of the Aforntng Journal.—Sp,—
Please make the following corrections to my nacle's lad
letter to his wife. The original can be seen by any perm
on application to me. For Mr. Event read E. C. 5M*
his solicitor in Gordon v. Ketelhodt ; but that
gentleman is honourably exonerated from the charge 01
having sent up that letter, as it was a seizure.
For I knew nothing of the man, Bogle,' read 'I
knew nothing of Bogies" (evidently the apostrophe sad a
word such as intentions, deed, or act, in the hurry of writing.
was omitted). The original is as follows : I knew
nothing of Bogies and never advised him to the act or acts
which hare hare brought upon me this end.' In the ads
manner he wrote ' the judges took the latter and awed
the latter,' evidently meaning the fermi., for the willies'
testimony as against the deposition he had previously made
Please al.o substitute ' justly' attributable for ' partly'
attributable.—Yours truly, JOSEPH U. SMITH. Kingatos,
Deo. V, 1865."

According to a letter from Brussels, Leopold IL
works moat sedulously to make himself thoroughly or
quainted with the state of affairs. He is op every mom•
ing at 6, and, in addition to the regular council of ministers
receives the members separately, in order to become ts
quainted with the details of each department•
