GREAT FLOODS IN LANCASHIRE.

MANCHWEEFt, Nov. 16.
A good deal of excitement prevailed in Man-
chester this morning which bad its origin in the intelli-
gence from various parts of the surrounding district of
great damage done by the overflowing of rivers and streams
coming from the direction of the Yorkshire, Derbyshire,
and Lancashire hills, mostly tolthe (north-west, north, and
north-east of this place. We have had a considerable rain-
fell during the last few weeks, and on Tuesday evening for
about seven or eight hours before the great shower of
meteors we had a suooesaion of short but sharp storms,
accompanied by thunder, lightning, hail, snow, and rain.
The temperature went down considerably. During the
greater part of the night of Tuesday there was a heavy fall
of rain, and rivers, brooks, and other stream were a good
deal swollen. A great deal of rain fell on Wednesday and
yesterday, but during last night it rained in torrents for many
hours, and thedownfall contented with little intermission till
noon to-day. The rivers Irwell, Irk, Medlook, in their course
through Manchester, were found to be rapidly rising from
daybreak to after twelve o'clock. The Irwell has risen to
a higher level than it has attained for thirty years past,
and there has been no flood probably for the last fifteen
years that has reached. ithin ten to twelve feet of the same
height. Three pip, dog and kennel, and trees torn up
by the roots floating down the stream in front of the
cathedral were among the earlier indications of the damage
done higher up theeiver. A cottage staircase carried
down was another and more serious intimation of disaster
somewhere. The river had risen at this point to above
the top of the arch of the new bridge into Salford,
and excited crowds have been lingering by the
aide of the swollen waters, watching waifs and
strays all the morning. Barrels of oil and paraffin, on
coming against the top of the arch, have been sucked
under, but most of them were broken before reaching the
other side. The oil in these cases was very perceptible on
the surface, and the bursting of the paraffin barrels was
accompanied by considerable stench. Higher up the
Irwell, in the passage of the river through Lower Brough-
ton and Strangeways, great numbers of houses and ware-
houses were flooded, and in many instances the inhabi-
tants were placed in great jeopardy. In Edward-street,
Broughton-lane, and in some adjoining streets, the inha-
bitants finding the cellars flooded, and the waters invading
the parlours and other rooms, began early in the morning
to send for waggons and lurries to move their furniture ;
but in many cases the rise was too rapid for them.
For some hours it rose more than a foot per hour,
and we hear of parlours submerged to the depth
of five and six feet. The horses in the waggons and
lorries were in some cases up to the neck in water, and
some of the animals being seized with cramp, difficulty
was experienced in rescuing them, as well as the inhabi-
tants of the houses. Women became dreadfully excited
and alarmed, and some screamed and elm( st became
frantic, but we have heard of no lose of life through the
flood. Still higher up the Irwell, at Peel-park (the Sal-
ford people's park), a large portion of the grounds were
deeply under water, and the head gardener and his family
were not rescued till half-past 12 at noon. Up towards
Bury and Bolton great numbers of houses have been
flooded, as well as cotton-mills and other works by
the waters of the river, and the machinery (which
Is stopped in some cases by the water extinguishing
the fires), and goods will sustain great damage. At Black-
burn the river Blakewater has overflowed its banks, and
submerged the lower part of the town (called the Wrang-
ling) flooding houses, mills, and warehouses. Ac Darwen
a good deal of damage of the same kind has been sus-
tained. For some hours the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway through Darwen was impassable by trains owing
to this cause, and the passengers to Manchester had to be
sent round by Accrington, over the East Lancashire route.
The Yorkshire trains of the same company were also
stepped by a flooding of the line at the Walden end of
the Summit Tunnel. The flood washed away the Wiest
of the line, so that] an engine got fast, and after-
wards the trains were sent round by Burnley,
Rose Grove, and Bury to Manchester. By 12.30
p.m. however, the line (according to telegrams from
Walsden and Littleborough) was again in working order.
At Stockport, damage to mill and other property, at-
tended with stoppage of machinery, has been done by the
overflow of the river Mersey ; and similar disasters are re-
ported at Stalybridge, from the overflow of the river
Tame. Several houses are reported destroyed at Openahaw.
It is reported on the Exchange that hundreds of mills will
be stopped by the floods, and that immense damage has
been done in all parts of the manufacturing districts. At
Preston, the river Ribble has overflowed its banks, and
drowned a quantity of sheep. The public park is also
partly submerged.
MANCHESTER, 10 o'CLoce.
The weather (sus been fine since noon, but the Irwell
continued to rise for some hours. The Strangeways road
from the Assize Court towards Higher Broughton was
some feet under wuter ; the opposite side of the
river in Salford was inundated. From the houses in
Springfield, Lyne, and Adelphi, hundreds of people were
rescued with much difficulty by boats and by other means.
Up to this time hundreds of people have been carted to
the Salford workhouse, to the Town-hall, to the Catholic In-
ati tut° Dispensary, and other public buildings to be abeltered
and fed. At a moderate calculation there are 500 homeless
and houselesa poor, acme reports say nearly 1,000, under
the care of the authorities, from the effects of this cala-
mitous flood. Only one case of drowning is reported,
that of a gentleman who had rescued his wife, but was
carried away by a current. The Mayor of Manchester had
a narrow escape in leaving hie house at Lower Broughton.

WAKEFIELD, FRIDAY ArrEnsoox:

The banks of the Calder at Wakefield were this morning
the scene of intense excitement. The heavy rains of yes-
terday and the previous days had caused the river to rise
to an almost unprecedented height and flood the surround-
ing neighbourhood. Two vessels were carried over the dam
stakes, and two men druwneiL The river rose until the
water above and below the dam was on a level, and until
there was but a small portion of the arches of the bridge
visible ; and the captains were taking advantage of this to
neat their emptied vessels hack over the we r. At a late
hour in the afternoon they hail not succeeded. The Man-
chester corn factors never reached the market at all, in
consequence of a tunnel on the lino being flooded. The
rain is still coming down in torrents and the river rising,
being now nearly 15 feet above its ordinary level at the
dam stakes.

A flood, the like of which has not been seen for thirty
years, is at present prevailing, at Preston, on the western
side of the town principally. and all along the banks of the
river Ribble for miles. The Ribble began to overflow its
banks early to-day, and by breakfast time immense tracks
of land on each side of it were completely covered with
water. By noon the water had spread tremendously, and
at the time our parcel was despatched many hundreds of
acres were swamped, and houses and fartnateada had been
deserted lest they should be swept away. For miles
beyond the boundary of Preston, up the course of the
river, all the contiguous land is deluged. At the vil-
lage of Walton the streets are covered, cellars are
" drowned out," and furniture, pigs, &c., have had
to be removed. Neither the course of the Ribble
nor that of its tributary the Darwen can be seen; all is one
immense plain of rolling water. One faro-house between
I'reston and Walton is surrounded in water several feet
deep, and also cattle and sheep are at present penned up
in barn, the house, cc. Lower down goats and several
sheep have been hemmed in, and are liable to be swept
away any moment, Some dead cattle have been washed
down the river, but nobody can yet tell where they have
come from. One cattle dealer has lost a large number of
sheep, and many of those gut out of the water had to be
killed. Avenham Parke, which have been made at such a
cost, and which ordinarily constitute one of the " sights"
of the town, are perfectly deluged. All the walks are
covered, and only tree tope can be now seen. For about a
mile opposite the parks all the land is inundated, and even
as far as the centre of Peniowthan village, on that side,
the ground and roads are swamped. Gardens, houses,
&c., in South Meadow-lane are deluged ; some
dwellings are surrounded by water four feet deep ;
hedgerows are out of sight ; and at noon yesterday
boats were sailing about over Preston Cricket Club
Ground. Shops, dwelling-houses, and workshops are sur-
rounded by water at the bottom of Fithergate-hill ; work-
men had to be carried to and from their employ in carts,
and at one mill at the bottom of Marsh-lane the water got
so high about eleven o'clock that the works had to be
stopped and the hands sent home. All the works on the
quay are stopped, and if the water does not soon abate.
the ships will be riding over the side. The Ribble branch
railway is impassable, and along Strand-road and Ribble-
place the water is running several feet deep, and at a
speed of about ten miles an hour. Taylor-street, Bird-
street, and other thoroughfares are nearly closed up with
water. At four o'clock yesterday afternoon the water
continued to heighten and what the consequence will yet
be no one can tell. a.ge numbers of people who live any
where near the banks of the Ribble at Preston will have to
sit up all to-night.

THE PROPOSED TRADVAND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES
Ilgsung DemoNaritarios. —Yesterday afternoon a deputa-
tion front the committee intrusted with the carrying out of
the nrratgements of the proposed trade and friendly
societies' reform demonstration, consisting of Messrs. G.
Potter, R. Hartwell, Coffey, and Bryan, waited on Sir
Richard slayue at his private resid..nee in Whitehall-place,
with a view to urge upon him the advisability of his afford-
ing the aid of the metropolitan police on the occasion of
the demonstration, and of making such arrang-ments as
would meet the views or the committee and at the cams
time facilitate the public traffic. Sir Richard Mayne hay-
ing been made aware of the object of the deputation re-
plied that the matter was entirely out of his jurisdiction.
Mr. Potter stated that on the opening of parliament bythe
goeen, and at the time of t:aribaldi's entry into London,the
police authorities facilitated those who arranged the
processions, and he thought Sir Richard might give equal
facilities to the trades ar..l friendly societies, andhave the
traffic transferred from the route of their procession
into other streets. Mr. Coffey, who said he represented
two influential bodies namely the Foresters and the
Manzl.ester Union of o,l.lfellowl, said the trades and
friendly societies would feel great disappointment at a
refusal front Sir Richard Mayne to assist them in their
detnonatration in favour of parliamentary reform. Mr.
Hartwell and Mr. Bryan having also given expression to
their views, Sir Richard Mayne 'dotal that the occasions
refemd to by Mr. Potter were exceptional. He regretted
exceedingly that he could not aid the deputation, but it
was olearly out of his power to make any arrangements in
reference to the public traffic. However, he would give
every assistance that would ho consistent with his functions
as chief commissioner of metropolitan police. The deputa-
tion then thanked Sir Richard Mayne, and withdrew.
FATHER IGNATIUS AGAIN.—The Record gays :
" Wo ore assured that the Bishop of London has not,
either personally or by commission, licensed Mr. Lyne to
'any curacy in the diocese of London, nor has his lordship,
, we believe, even entrusted that gentleman with the ordi-
nary leave to officiate in the diocese. If, indeed, Mr.
I Denton is willing to take entire charge of him—the young
gentleman having promise t to conduct himself like a quiet
English clergyman—it is possible that the Bishop of
London, after conferring with the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and the Bishop of Norwich, may hays intimated to
Mr. Denton that he will not actually inhibit Mr. Lyno
from performing some ~f the minor office, of the church
in St. 110-tholotnew, Moor-lane, provided all th np go on
' decently and in order.' Further than this, it is coati-
, dently stated, matters have not gone."
The Levant Herald of the 7th says :—" The
difficulty between the American legation and the Porte
relative to the questions at isom between the United
States consul in Cypnis and the local authorities has been
in part arranged by the Porte's consenting to dismiss the
mudir of Larnaca, and to order au apologetie salute of 21
gnus to the American deg.

tuRTII BRITISH RAILWAY COMPANY.—We under-
stand that the reconstituted board of directors of this
railway, at their first meeting yesterday (Thursday),
el
ected Mr. John Beaumont, of Ravenekuowle, Rudders- •
field, to be chairman of the company. Mr. Beaumont—
who has been for several years a member of the buard—is,
we believe, at the head of a large manufacturing concern
at Huddersfield. He is understood to be a man of great
wealth, and possesses an amount of shares in the
North British Company that cannot but give him
a deep interest in the prosperity of the undertak-
ing. It is, perhaps, no mare than fairness that it
should be known that two others of the old board of direc-
tors—Mr. W. P. Adam, M.P., and Mr. Balfour, of Bel-
birnie—were, before the meeting of Wednesday, asked by
' the committee of investigation to join the new board ; but
that both these gentlemen declined to continue in office.

ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The ex-
press train, which leaves Birmingham at 1.20 p.m., met
with an accident on Thursday, when about three miles
beyond Tamworth. When running along the cutting, near
to Haselour, the engine ran off the line a distance of same
four hundred yards at least, tearing all up before it, and
breaking the chairs and damaging other parts of the line.
At the time of the accident the train was travelling at the
rate of forty miles an hour; but we are pleased to hear that
out of about thirty passengers none received any injury.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1866.

EQIJITY COURTS.—Nov. 16.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir 3. Stuart)
EDMUNDS S. BROUGHAM.
This bill was filed by the late Clerk of the Patents
against the defendant, a brother of Lord Brougham, for
the purpose of recovering 9,0001., &c., in respect of pay-
ments at the rate of 3001. per annum, alleged by the pUan-
tiff to have been made by him to the defendant out of his
(the plaintiff's) salary for a period of 30 years. The bill
stated these payments to have been made by virtue of an
arrangement with the late James Brougham, and which
was ratified by the defendant. The defendant bad put in
an answer setting forth his view of the case, which was to
the effect that the payments in question had been made
for the benefit, and solely so, of the creditors of the late
James Brougham. Such an application of the moneys,
however, appears to be denied by the plaintiff, who
. seeks to make the defendant a trustee in
respect of all the moneys paid or allowed as afore-
' said by the plaintiff. The application now before
' the court was made under Sir Hugh Cairns' Act and the
general order (evidence 1861). and its object was to obtain
the settling by the court of certain issues which the
plaintiff proposed to raise in reference to the alleged
arrangements as to the payment and destination of the
3001. a year.
Mr. Malins, Q.C., and Mr. J. N. Higgins were for the
plaintiff, and submitted that the questions of fact, upon
which the plaintiff and defendant differed, were proper
for the verdict of a jury.
Mr. Osborne, Q.C., and Mr. 0. Morgan were for the
, defendant, and said the application ought to have been
, made at chambers.
L His Honour was of that opinion, and directed the
motion to stand over in order that the plaintiff might, if
, I advised, apply at chambers, when the matter could be
1 I well considered.
