The South African Commercial thlverteser of the Ha,
of May gives the following account of a dreadful calamity.
occasioned by the bursting of the Sunday River at Ural&
Reinet :-
1 exTnacT or A LETTER FROM ORAATT REINET.I
The a at; of alarm and consternation into which this torn was
thrown on the morning of NVetlnesday last, by the Sunday Rivet
suddenly ovetflowing its banks, battles all description. The tinEe
preceding days it h.tl rained without tensing, but not heavily; and
though the river had swollen considerably, no apprehensions wef_
entertained of its gaining the unparalleled height which It reached
on that men:mat:le morning. About midnight the alarm was
given, by some of the inhabitants living near the river, that it
was rising to a very unusual height, and 'MI were in danger of
losing their lives and their property. The report soon spread
the water still rising, the whole town was soon in a frightful sate
of terrar and contusion. ne lawsdrost, in hie exertions to wait.
the people living in low situations, galloped headlong into what n.
supposed to be a pool of water, formed by the rain at the boron' of
Donkin:street ; but by the strength of the current, he soon fount',
to his surprise, that the river had risen to that astonishing height;
and had he not been fortunate enough to catch hold of a mimosa
bush, lie must have inevitably been carried into the midst of the
torrent, and perished.
The old mill was now three feet under water ; told its occupant.
with his wife, driven to seek dhelter is 'pose higher spot. The
gardens of Messrs. Oryling and Ileacholf, in the back street, were
completely inundated; the water had reached their houses, and
forced them, with, their families, to flee for their lives, and leave
their property to the mercy of the furious element. At half-past
one the whole of the Kerk, Cradock, Donkin, atal Stoekenstrom
st.cets were in one sheet of water I it was then that serious appre-
hensions were felt for the safety of the greater part of the town.
Fears were entertained that the river would have taken its course
through Craub ek-street, and consequently swept away the whole
town, with the exception of Caledon-street, and .Market-squats.
The scene now became awful and terrific, for ruin stared every one
In the fare. The glimmering and doubtful light of the moan
could starcey pierce through the watery clouds which obscured the
face of the heavens, and served only to make our situation more
gloomy. Lanterns were seen flying in all directions ; horses gal.
loping and splashing through the mud and water; carts and wag-
gons rattling backwards and forwards, endeavouring to save some.
thing from the wrecks of the houses ; females (some of Whom had
been confined in child-bed) were sera wading up to their
knees through the streets, with their infants in their arms, and
two or three other children trudging behind them, all making
the best of their way to the top of the town, while the men were
generally engaged in removing their most valuable goods.—
Some families fled for slummy to the Chapel, which is in sit
elevated part of the town, but most of the people took refuge is
the houses of Market-square and Calednn-street. So suddenly did
the river rise, that one poor man, with a large family living on its
banks, did not know of his dangerous situation until the water
had reached the bed on which lie slept; he and his family moped,
but with the loss of his house and a good many loose articles. A
three o'clock our fears began to subside, on observing that the river
bad receded a little, and the rain ceased for a while. Great anxiety
then prevailed for the approach of day-light, which every ono
thought would have shown the half of the town in ruins. Our
*ars were not realized, although the damage done to the gardens,
vineyards, &c. is very considerable; only two or three old hogs..:.
in Itiver-street, have been washed away, with two in the Dry River,‘
and some inferior buildings in different parts of the town have
r fallen in. Fortunately tid lives have been lost. At day-lighd
the river had fallen about ten or twelve feet, but the sight was
still awfully grand.
TnADE.—The very high rate of freight to Englard hats
contributed much to the present depression of our wine trade. It
cannot be generally known in Englaiid, that the freight of a pipe of
wine has for some time been nearly as high as 3/. sterling, and the
mischief is, that the remedy, from competition, has hittierto conic
so suddenly, and in such excess, as to produce an equally unrea-
sonable reduction, which again brings back the former evil.

MURDER Or A Bitastonsar.--Care Tow x, Mst:ll.
Mr. Schmelin, missionary of the London Missionary So-
ciety, has arrived in Cape Town, from Great Namacqua-
land, and has brought the melancholy intelligence of the
murder of Mr. Threlfall, Wesleyan Missionary. Mr.
Threlfall, it appears, left Kammiesberg, Little Namacqua-
land, about August last, accompanied by two men, belong-
ing to the Missionary station, on an intended journey of
discovery to the Damara's country, with the view of select-
ing a suitable spot near the coast for the establishment of
a missionary station. When he arrived at Kammanoup,
in Great Namaqualand, the Chief strongly advised hint
to return ; but he determined upon going forward, and
prosecuting his intended journey. After having obtained
some necessary articles, and hired a guide and several men
to accompany him, he proceeded forward. A few days
after they left Kammanoup, they arrived at a Bushman
Kraal, where Mr. Threlfall, and the two men who accom.
pitied him from Kammiesberg, were murdered by their
treacherous guide and his companions. One of the men
was shot whilst asleep, and the other shortly afterwards.
Mr. Threlfall fled to a bush, but was pursued and wounded
by a musket shot, when a bushman, instigated by the vil-
lainous guide, pierced him near the heart with his assegai,
and killed him. A bushman, who was at the kraal on the
night the murder was committed, fled, and gave the in-
formation to the people belonoing to Mr. Schirtelin's sta.
tion. 'Fhe guide was afterwards seen wearing the clothes
of Mr. Threlfall, and the place where the assagai entered
was distinctly visible. We understand that Mr. Schmelin
was, at the same time, on a similar journey, and was pre-
served to accomplish it in safety. lie travelled beyond
Woolwich Bay, and reached the coast, where a vessel was
stranded a few years ago.
Fe sloes MO/IND.—Yesterday morning as a fine young
boy, about eight years of age, the child of a poor Irishman
called Dennis O'Bryan, was crossing the Westminster road,
near the Obelisk, a cabriolet, w:lich was driving at a
furious rate, intercepted him, and before he could extri-
cate himself the wheels passed over his body. Ile war
taken up in a lifeless condition, and when conveyed house
' he lingered about an hoar in the greatest agony. Great
praise is due to a gentleman for his exertions in taking
the driver of the cabriolet into custody,
T where he will re,.
malty to await. Om ,m 1.81,1101 tire Qmoner s inquest.
