AN INDIAN FLOOD.—The Lahore Chronicle nee
ports an unusual eccentricity on the part of the
river Chenab, which has caused considerable damage tc),
Meehan, if not to other stations in its neighbourhood.
some time its unusual shallowness had been remarked I 4
the Lahore editor, and attributed by him to a landslip
of
glacier which had dammed up the river in some of the sell'
tildes of the Himalayas—when all at once it burst on M°(3l;
tan with a fury it had never been,remembered to exitibi-
before. A correspondent from the latter city writes
" The water has flowed in so suddenly and with such yel°:
city, that we awoke this morning only to find ourselves °'
it were on an island, every direction as far as the eye °13,.11„
reach being a perfect sea. All communication between the
city and cantonments has been completely cut off. 111°
commissioner's house has three or four feet water round .
The greater portion of the suburbs of the city, includise
Tola Khan and Emam Poro, have been submerged, and ti's
market-place has shared the same fate. The stanning efdci
have all been destroyed, whole villages washed down, an
the panicstruck inhabitants know not whither to fly or b()d ..f
to escape from the deluge. Woodlands, the property °f
General Van Cortlandt, the favourite resort of the resideet°
of the station, is all but a wreck. Its fine walks, its Ora'
den, containing the choicest flowers, and its orchard stociO,
with the most delicious fruits, are all submerged. All
around is desolation—the flood has extended for several
miles, as far as the railway line ; and the destruction °
property caused by it must be immense." Great exertios°
were made by the local engineers to divert the course of tile
flood, but to no purpose, the water toppling over the bun
almost immediately they were erected.—Homeward .4161'/'
PROPOSED ABOLITION OF TURNPIKE TOLLS."'
Yesterday an important meeting of the ratepaiero
of the parish of Lewisham was held, for the purpose of 18P.;
ing into consideration the proposed abolition of the tolls
ae
the various gates on nearly 40 miles of roads, forming ti'
4
south-eastern outlet of the metropolis, and extending ft°o
St. George-the-Martyr, Southwark, to Dartford, Kent. Ti',
chair was occupied by Mr Atkins, churchwarden, who c;
plained that the meeting had been convened in consequePcd
of a letter received from Sir G. Grey, in which he ti6eo
for an expression of the opinion of the ratepayers of t'e
several parishes as to the desirableness of abolishing
continuing the present system of tolls, which, II:,
less renewed by an act to be passed in the next sessl°l
of Parliament, will cease to exist on and after the Ist ~t
November, 1865, the expense of keeping the roads in reVe
to be borne by the parishes through which such roads Psi-10
fhe present annual cost of maintaining the roads the f'°";,
on which are proposed to be abolished is £12,730, distr'f
buted as follows :—St. George the Martyr, Southwark. I 1

considerable discussion it was moved by Mr Wel'e,
seconded by Mr Saunders, and unanimously carried
" That the extent of roads within the parish of LewieL'',o
being some seven or eight miles (an extent of nearly the
miles having been omitted in the above measurement), to
cost of maintenance would be a great burden and hards'':,,
on the ratepayers, inasmuch as the said roads are used 'l,l
the ratepayers of surrounding parishes and the gelleo
public, while their proportion ;of the road of the turql
trust if abolished would be comparatively small. lte
meeting, therefore, expresses its opinion that if the trust be
Abolished the cost of maintaining the roads should cs
equitably distributed over the whole area—and if 511.0.
arrangement cannot he made, this meeting opposes the Poe
position to abolish the trusts." A vote of thanks t°

chairman closed the proceedings.

lIONEY MARKET,
,

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The large increase that has lately taken place in
the available balances of discounts has very mate-
terially changed the aspect of the money market.
From a condition of stringency to that of compara-
tive ease, has been the work of only a day or two.
The high rates allowed for money placed out
for only a week or fortnight's notice of
withdrawal has in a very painful degree sfficted
the discount market, by bringing up from the coon•
try large sums for temporary investment. The
market being thus flooded with capital, the brokers
have been cmpelled to turn it to account, however
fractional the profit. They are, therefore, now
negotiating bills of three months' date at 81, per
cent,, and shorter dated securities at 81 per cent.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Palmer
and Co., of Cullum-street, who failed on the 4th
ansts was held yesterday, when an approximate
statement of alLirs was submitted by Mr. Henry
Edwards, of the firm of Cash and Edwards, the
accountants, showing liabilities amounting to
£410,471 lls. 2d., of which were expected to rank
1313011 the estate £78,656 lls. ld., with assets
amounting to £62,067 ls. 6d., or nearly 16s. in
the pound. After a long discussion it was resolved
to wind up the estate under inspection.
The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised an influx of £34,000 in French gold, and
the withdrawal of 25,000 sovereigns for transmis-
mon to the Brazils.

There was a slight advance yesterday afternoon
in the rates of exchange on Amsterdam and Ham.

The Anglo-Austrian Bank will be prepared to
pay, on and after the Ist October, out of realised
net profits, as interest for the first six months of
the current year, the sum of 33. 6d. per share free
