current than a thoroUghfare for pedestrians. On the Parade
large quantities of clay and gravel were collected tOgethei
by the flood, and in other parts the paying was completely
ripped up. The land lalong..the Western Road, on both
sides, as far as Carrigrohan as still under water ; and the
south road to Macroom is rendered impassible, owing to the
collection of rubbish and the many chasms that have been
made in it by the inundation. A portion of the wall along
the Dyke has been swept away; and the ditches and hedges
in the fields near the Dyke, have all been levelled. The
Carrigrohan bridge has suffered some slight injury, and
would, in all probability, have been carried away, were it
not that the wall and road on this side were swept away, and
thereby a vent was given to the immense volume of water
that passed on the bridge. The Lee bridge appears to have
sustained no injury. It is estimated that the danger done
to' Messrs. Perrott's concern will alone amount to £6OO ;
and that the men employed in this extensive foundry will
'—, able to commence any "castings ", for the next fort-
night. At one period of -the day, the flood rose to over five
feet in the foundry.

This morning ihe city magistrates ' accompanied by Mr.
Tracy, the county surveyor for the Wdst Riding, Mr. Alex-
ander Deane, and sub-inspector, Walker, visited Patrick's
Bridge, and after minutely inspecting it, Mr. Tracy and
Mr. Deane both pronounced it unsafe even for foot-passen-
gers, and directed that barriers should be at once erected to
prevent persons passing over it. They also inspected the
North Gate Bridge which they considered sufficiently strong
for the additional ;raffle. Guards of constabulary were sta-
tioned all night and all day at Patrick's Bridge; and strict
orders have been issued by the magistrates to prevent all
persons passing.over._

A large meeting of magistrates was held to-day for the
purpose of adopting measures for the immediate relief of
those poor people living in the lanes and off streets on the
marsh, and north and south Main-streets, whose little all
has been destroyed. It was resolved that they should be at
once supplied with bedding and coals ; and, we understand,
it is intended to convene a public meeting of the citizens for
an early day, to originate subscriptions for the more effectual
relief of those poor persons.
Up to the present hour—three o'clock, the police have re-
ceived the names of but two persons who are missing site°
yesterday—they are Mary Lynch and Catherine Daly, both
of Brown-street. The police of the Silver Spring station
picked up a cloak and white straw bonnet trimmed with blue,
out of the river this morning.

The bridge leading from the Western-road into the
County Jail and Queen's College has sustained serious injury
one of the buttresses is completely broken ; a large crack
extends from one side to the other at each end. One of the
turnkeys has been stationed at it all day to warn persons
from passing it.
MALLOW :—On Wednesday the Blackwater suddenly over
flowed its banks, and carried away cattle, corn, and even
some human beings, but the loss has not yet been ascer-
tained. Yesterday morning the flood was on the decline.

drowned, on Tuesday, within five miles of Clonmel.
• LIMERICK :—Several tributaries of the .Shannon have
broken their bounds. The whole country is in a deplorable
state ; all the standing corn is beat down, and a great quan-
tity of what was stacked carried away. Most of the public
roads are impassable, and the side streets• of the city are
rushing with water. •

NENVRY :—A large portion of the town is under water,
and several persons narrowly escaped being drowned.
KILDARE : —The Barrow has flooded some thousands of
acres, and carried away a great deal of hay and corn.
MISS CANTWELL'S cam
• In the course of the day Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., came into
court and asked the chief baron to make an order for the
clerk of the peace to keep in his possession, until further
notice, the two pieces of ribbon, and other articles which
were produced during the trial of Miss Cantwell. He made
this application because they might be wanted for the purpose
of ulterior proceedings. One of the, pieces of ribbon was,
in point of fact, the property of Miss Cantwell.
Chief Baron—The verdict itself *does not authorise any
proceeding to be taken, and I for one am not disposed to
make an order that you are entitled to have these articles
impounded cx debito. I am not aware of any act of the
court which would lead to the impression that we imputed
perjury or falsehood to any of the witnesses for the prose.
cution. _ _

Mr. Fitzgibbon—l. do not say, my lord, that there is any
intention to prosecute anybody for perjury; but I think.it
would be for the benefit of the ends of justide to have these
matters retained in the custody of the clerk of the peace.
Mr. Bergin, who represented the firm of Cannock and
White, said that he had no objection to the course proposed
by Mr. Fitzgibbon.

Chief Barim—Well, the application being made by counse:
for Miss Cantwell, and no objection being made on the part
of Messrs. Cannock and White, let the articles in question
remain in the hands of the clerk of the peace until furthei
orders. - -

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE CAMISRIA..—Mrs.
Nugent, sister to the Dowa&er Lady Talbot de Malahide,
ortne surrorers from tin e effects or tne storm on
'Monday. Her leg was broken immediately below the knee,
and although the greatest attention was paid her by Dr.
Jones of Holyhead, yet from the age of the patient, as well
as the situation of the fracture. serious consequences were
apprehended. On Tuesday a consultation was considered
desirable, and Dr. O'Ferrall, of Dublin, was sent for, and
we are happy to • say that; in the opinion of the surgical
attendanti, this lady is progressing favourably. Two female
servants of Captain Hart have been very.seriously injured—
one has her arm broken, and is also hurt- in the side; the
other has received a compound fracture of the leg, of a very
'serious nature, 't?gether with a fracture of the collar bone.
The latter, especially, remains in a vofy prooarium position.
All tho -wounded continue at the Royal Hotel, Holyhead.
Mr. J. Taylor, of Birmingham, gives the following
details of the late accident to this 'vessel, which
left Kingstown • for Holyhead on Monday morning
The wind had been very high during Sunday mght,
and when we proceeded to sea,- the sea was raging from the
effects of a gale•then blowing hard. The waves seemed to
run almost mountains high, and when we had got about
three parts of our way across• the channel there was the
most awful crash and screaming I ever heard—an immense
sea had struck • the ship on the starboard bow, and not only
stove in the bulwarks from the quarter deck, to the bow,
but had swept away one side of the cabin on the hurricane
deck, sending' every • one,• into a confused mass. All the
cabin furniture was broken to pieces like a bunch of
crushed matches. The screams were awful. I thought the
poor creatures were drowning. One lady had her leg
broken, another her arm broken, and there was a baby,
only a few months old, floating in the sea shipped on deck,
which was dropped by the nurse in her fright when the
cabin was destroyed. .1 was sitting by the, helmsman, and
the immense body of water shipped on board, rushing to the
stern, immersed me up to the neck. I thought it was a
gone case with us all. However, thank God, we weathered
the storm, and reached Holyhead about four, instead of
two o'clock, and all thankful to step on shore, all soaked to
the skin with our sea-bathing, and the vessel looking very
queer, so knocked to pieces."
