THE LATE FLOODS.

(Further particulars from the Manchester Guardian.)
To particularize all the vatious instances of loss mid
damage would be utterly impossible.: fur scarcely an esta
bli•hment° near the banks of the river has escaped ; and
had it not fortunately happened that the flood came un in
the day time, which gave an opportunity for gemoving
valuable and portable articles, the destruction of property
would have been immense; and, from the suddenness
with which, in many instances, the lower parts of
dwellings were filled, the loss of life would in all, pro-
bability !lava been by no means Inconsidereble. The
damage done on this occasion has not, we are sorry to
say, been confined to the immediate vicinity of Manchester.
On every branch of the Irwell the flood was excessive,
and every where the injury done to the establiehmenta
with which the !milks of the atriams are crowded, is con-
sideratle. The print winks of Messrs. Grant, near
Bury, were flouded to a great extent, and damage to the
amount of some hundreds of pounds was done to the
goods in various stages of : the process, and by the destruc-
tion of cdours and dyrwaree. But the most extensive loss
that has been sustained, is, we believe, at the print.worke
of Messrs. Heap and Co., at Nadfield, near Bury, which
were nearly called away, and property to a large amount
destroyed or carried off I.y the flood. In Yorkshire; too,
the damage dune appears to have been very considerable,-
particularly in the neighbourhood of Halifax. Of course
it was hardly to be expected that such an occurrence as
the flood we have been describing could pass over without
same lots of life ; and we regret to mire that two persons,
at least, have been drowned. Both these were boys, one
was carried away, along with a wooden bridge on whirl.
he wan standing, near Bury, and the other felt into the
river Nledlock, near Ardwick Bridge, when endeavouring
to secure something that was floating down the stream.—
We believe neither of the bodies has yet been found.

THE MARKETS.

LONDON MARKETS, Nov. 23.

The Market* for Colonial Produce are in a stagnant
condition, nor is it expected that any extensive business
will he entered into until the tutu of the year, though the
demand may rather increase by the trade laying in their
Christmas stocks.

use, last week, from the West India Docks, was 2.240
birds. and 157 tierces ; and the stock is nearly 40,000

dling, 4410. to 51s, ; good„ Ms, to 60*. ; and fine qua--
Ilti, a, 60s. to 681. per cwt. The export demand for
Mauritius has rather improved: the stock of this descrip•
Om of goods in the West India Docks is not above I 4,000
bags. In Foreign and Refuel goods there is no variation.
