THE NORTH RIDING.

The incessant rains since Saturday last have
caused the rivers of the North Riding to overflow
their banks, and on Thursday the Rye, Derwent,
and Ouse have laid the flat country of the Vales of
Pickering and York deep under water. The fine
autumn enabled the lowland farmers to sow a con-
siderable breadth of wheat, much of which is unfor-
tunately now submerged. For miles the York and
Scarborough Railway passes through a lake, the
waters being still on the rise and likely to reach
the rails. Farmers are totally driven off their
lands, which are wet in the extreme. In Old Mal-
ton the drainage could not take the water, and the
town is flooded from end to end. The weather has
been very stormy and wet during the past 10 or 12
days on the coast of Northumberland and Durham,
and most of the rivers in those counties have been,
a good deal flooded with " freshets." In the hill
districts of Durham a good deal of snow fell during
the first three days of this week, and on Tuesday
the Stockton and Darlington Railway was blocked.
IT west of Waskerley, in Westmoreland ; and on
the hills dividing Nor thYorkshire from that county
there has been a heavy fall of snow. Notwith-
standing the extremely stormy weather that has
prevailed in the North Sea during the first three
months of 1862 the coasts of Durham and Northum-
berland have had a fortunate immunity from ship-
wreck, there having been no serious shipping disas-
ters upon that line of coast since November, 1861.

GOLD FROM AUSTRALIA.—Down to Midsummer
last, reckoning from May, 1851, the immense quantity of
25,081,468 ounces of gold had been exported from Victoria
and Now South Wales. The value of this addition to the
gold in use in the world was upwards of £96,000,000.
