Tog FLOODS.—Yesterday morning and the pre-
vious night the Exe, the Creedy, the Lowman, and other
streams in Devon overflowed their hanks, and floods pre-
vailed in the low-lying villages. Valleys were turned into
lakes, and roads were rendered impassable. In the early
pert of the week there was heavy and incessant rain,
accompanied with sleet and in some parts snow. From
Bristol to Weston-super-Mare the high lands were covered
with snow, while the low lands, from Bridgwater to
Wellington, were one waste of waters. Between Tiverton
and Exeter the fields right and left were covered with
water. The Enivick marshes were under water, and all
access to the village by the bridge at St. David's Railway-
station was cut off. The stream flowed from 18 inches to
2 feet above the road. The Creeds, was swollen to a degree,
and had risen to within a foot of the bridge on the North
Devon line, near Cowley. It was considered that the
alterations made here during the past summer would secure
safe travelling on the lino. At Exeter quay the Ere had
risen 4 feet, and someof the streets in St. Thomas were under
water. Yesterday the water it, the Thames at Windsor was
still rising. The flood has encroached upon the Bross' and the
college grounds and playing fields at Eton. The whole
of the lowlands known as the valley of the Wey, extend-
ing nearly the length of that river between Alton and
Weybridge, where it joins the Thames, are completely
inundated, many places within the distance presenting the
appearance of a vast lake when viewed from the adjacent
halls. Numerous accidents, fortunately unattended with
loss of human life, occur almost daily in the most fre-
-1 quented situations, and one of these, of a serious nature,
happened at Farnham on Wednesday evening, by which a
valuable horse and four-wheel van were washed away, and
have not yet been recovered.
TERRIFIC GALES IN THE ATLANTlC.—lntelligenoe
was yesterday received in Livr-rpool to the effect that the
Onion Company's steamer Minnesota, which left Liver-
pool on the , th instant for New York, had been compelled
to put back to Queenstown with screw and machinery
damaged. The Minnesota experienced fearful weather,
encountering a series of strung westerly gales, and no
doubt Captain Price, her commander, exercised a judi-
cious knowledge in putting back to the " Cove." A very
severe gale has taken place at the Mauritius on the 3rd
instant. The barque Hammersmith and the French ship
Incomparable were wrecked on the island ; and the Ame-
rican steamer Warrior was stranded near Port Louis, but
it is expected that she will be got off. Several other yes-
eels were driven ashore and damaged.
Cohhierrott orr Durrogragst.—At ten o'clock yes-
terday morning the captain and crew of the barque Ma/a-
tone, from Hartlepool to Bordeaux, were brought into
Dover harbour by • bevelling boat. Tbe vessel wee run I
into by a full rigged Prussian ship, and instantly mink off
Dungeness. The sight was very dark and the men had
great difficulty in clanihering up the sides of the Prussian,
no assistance being rendered to them by the crew. One
man was overboard for some time. When the captain
end crew of the Nlahtoree arrived at the Sailors' Horne
they were in an utterly destitute condition, only half clad,
having been unable to save any of their effects.
EXTENSIVE FRAUDS BY THE SECRETARY OP A
Fonarrans' Socierr.—Some extensive defalcations by the
secretary of the London United District Foresters Society
have just been brought to light, the amount in question
being about 3,500/. Last night the third adjourned general
meeting of the delegates of the society was held at the
Crown Tavern, Clerkenwellierren ; Mr. Morley In the chair.
One hundred and thirty-seven delegates were present. The
first business transacted was in reference to the moments
of the secretary, Mr. John Stimson, late of No. 16, Essex-
street, Strand, and managing clerk to Mears. Mayhew,
Salmon, and Whiting, solicitors' of Great George-etreet.
He nhsoonded on the let instant. The fonds of the society,
consisting of subscriptions from 67,192 members, nearly all
of the working classes, were deposited in the Landon and
Westminster Bank, and the secretary, who had the con-
trol of the money, has been found to have kept a second
bankers' pass-book, by which means he was enabled to
carry on a system of fraud for a long period, and be was
looked upon almost as above suspicion. On the discovery
of the fraud information was at once laid at Bow-
street, and a warrant for his apprehension was
granted, but instructions were not given that
he was to be apprehended until the matter bed
been discussed by the society. Sergeant Kerley, 10 F
into whose hands the affair had been placed, bad stayed
the publishing of the reward bills, do., sad the apprehen-
sion of the runaway, until the meeting of the society had
determined how to act. It was found, as above stated,
that he was deficient in his amorists to sums amounting in
the aggregate to 3,5001. He had a salary from the society
of about 3501. a year. The first business of the mooting
yesterday was the rending of • letter from Messrs. ILeybew,
Salmon, end Whiting, expressing their willingness to com-
promise the matter, and offering to pay the sum of 1,0001.
at any moment, and to give a seeurity for 5001. more
within a space of three months if the meeting
would forego criminal proceedings. The considera-
tion of this letter end the proposition °Detained
therein raised a dismission which lasted for more than two
hours. The chairman then put the question, when there
appeared—For the acceptant* of the letter, 63% against it,
and for proseentieg the fugitive, 58. It was accordingly
red that so criminal measures should at present be
. The meeting, attar it bad appointed a depute-
ties to wait imam Marra Mayhew,
_adjoarned ter two
hoar'. Upon the re-asaemblimg of the messing the
treater who bed waited upon Masses. Mayhew, and in-
formed them that they had agreed to accept their=
Moe, Mated that they issued a alleges from Mr. y
for 1,0001, which hail been daposibM an the Lewis= and
