DISASTROUS FLOODS IN DEVONSHIRE.

EXETER, WEDNESDAY.
This neighbourhood has been visited by one of the
most disastrous floods ever known in this county, caus-
ing a fearful loss of property in the district of South
Devon, and washing away portions of the Exeter and
Crediton Railway, though, fortunately, without being
attended with any fatal result.
In consequence of a heavy fall of rain, which com-
menced on Sunday morning, and continued without in-
termission until midnight on Monday, the waters of the
Creody and Yoo, two tributary streams uniting with the
river Exe, at Newbridge, rose with frightful rapidity,
and laid the Exeter and Crediton railway, in many parts
of it, and also the turnpike roads in the neighbourhood
of Crediton, completely under water. The first indica-
tion of damage to the line was ascertained on Monday
night, when the 6.35 train, which left the Exeter station
for Crediton, arrived at Newton St. Cyres, a station
about half-way between this city and Crediton, and itr
was then found that the line beyond was totally impas-
sable.

In this emergency the trains attempted to return to
Exeter, but when near Newbridge the rails sank, in con-
sequence of the ballast having been completely washed
away for about half a mile ; added to this, the fire in
the locomotive was extinguished, and the engine thrown
off the line. It was impossible to move forward or go,
backward, and equally fade were the attempts to extricate
the passengers from their unpleasant predicament, the land
en either side the railway being flooded to the depth of
several feet. Mr. Mears, the superintendent of the Exeter
station, with other officers of the company, were out the
whole night with lights and vehicles, in the hope of being
able to afford assistance ; but, in spite of all their efforts,
they could not get within three fields of the disabled
train. At length, about four o'clock in the morning,
after the passengers (fourteen in number) had been in
their. uncomfortable position for nine or ten hours, the
waters gradually subsided, and horses having been
attached to the carriages, they were drawn back to
Newton St. Cyres, a distance of about half-a-mile, whence
the passengers were sent on to their respective destina-
tions by another conveyance. The traffic of the line is
entirely suspended, and the company are carrying pas-
sengers in four-horse omnibuses over the old turnpike
road.

A horse belonging to Mr. Carthew, a miller, was
drowned while drawing a waggon on the turnpike road.
At Newton Abbot the floods have been much more
serious? and occasioned damage to the extent of several
thousand pounds. The water rushed from the mill-leat
at Newton Bushell, washing down the bridges, causing
a large wall, sixteen feet high, and a portion of a house
in Sun-court, to fall down, and submerging the residents.
of the locality in nine feet of water, some of them being
quite
rickexhausted went
aken out with ropes, &c. The
trees, hedges were uprooted and washed away,
and many small animals were drowned. An immense
loss has been experienced by the residents of the town.

THE
11°L" BARON OF BE7P.—The baron of
beef destined this year to ;race her Majesty's sideboard in
Windsor Castle, on
Christmas-day, will be supplied by
Mr. Minton, purveyor to the Queen, Peascod-street, Wind-
sor. Mr. Minton has reserved three prime Scots, 'esti-
mated to weigh about 100 stone each, fed by John ucker,,
Esq., of East Ram, Essex, in order that the Castle cm-
rl°,Yes may choose from which the baron is to be taken.
'.they are all of unrivalled quality, and either of them
would literally furnish " a dainty dish to set before a
Queen." The baron will bo roasted to-morrow, and served
up cold on Sunday next.
FLOGGING IN THE NAVY, PRODUCING APOPLEXY A
_ .

E P 11;;;;. -- Ili the Medical Times and Gazette, of the
17th instant, are reports, by Dr. Davidson, of the cases
of two men who were flogged on board one of her Ma-
jesty's ships, one of whom was removed from the
gratings in a fit of epilepsy, and the other had an apo-
plectic attack. One was rendered permanently un-
serviceable. Surely these facts alone are sufficient to
put an end to a practice which is a disgrace to our
country and our age

THE KENT DIGGINGS.—One day last week, as Mr.
Delevan, formerly in the coast guard service, was walk-
ing near Cross-gate, near Mr. Bigg's farm, Minster,
Shepey, he saw something glittering on the ground ;
he picked it up, and found it to be a nugget of gold at-
tached to a stone, which he sold for 31.—South &dem

supposed to be Mrs. Cumming, some time before he
(witness) carried her up to her house at the prisoner's
request, and the Sub-Inspector of South Leith who
de-
posed to giving, and afterwards cutting off, aliment
from
the deceased because of her intemperance.
The Solicitor-General addressed the jury for the Pro
secution, and Mr. John Grahame for the panel.
The Lord Justice-Clerk,
.in reviewing the case, re.
marked, that it was lamentable that the poor woman
was allowed to leave the police-office alone, and that no
means were adopted to provide a place of safety, for her,
as proper measures on the part of the police might have
prevented the fatal event. The deceased, he said, ap-
peared to have been a quiet, gentle, and industrious
woman, and, during the period to which the evidence
related there was no evidence of her drinking ; but
whether she had been given to drink or not it was high
time that a jury should sternly lay aside such considera-
tions when they found women beaten to death in the
shocking manner that had of late been disclosed in seve-
ral cases in Scotland.
The jury, after brief deliberation, unanimously is-
turned a verdict of guilty of murder as libelled.
The Lord Justice-Clerk passed sentence on the pri•
soner of execution at Edinburgh, on Monday, the 9th of
January next. In discharging the jury, he intimated
that their verdict had the full assent and unhesitating
concurrence of the Court.

The prisoner then said, in a firm tone--." Will you I
allow me to speak, my lord ? I have been at sea for 4.0
years, and for 25 years have served Government (mean-
ing
the East India Company) faithfully, and have done
my duty as a man. Though the sentence of death has
Leen passed upon me, I can assure you that I did its with '
no intention of committing murder. lam innocent

The Lord Justice-Clerk addressed him, and said— .1
" William Cumming, you may rely on it that your best
hope is not to cherish such feelings, but to humble your-
self
before Almighty God, to acknowledge your guilt,
and to implore, by fervent and instant prayer, that
mercy which you hope to obtain. Shut not your mind

ROCHDALE, Dec. 19.—We have had a rather slack at-
tendance of buyerA in the market to-day, And a very
limited amount of business transacted. In wool there is
little orange'; the manufacturers buy for immediate use
only, but prices keep very firm. This is generally con-
sidered the last market in the year, as there is little doing
till .the new market,.which is held the first Monday after
old Chtistinas-day. , ,
HALIFAX, Dec. 17.—1 f there be any change notice-
able to-day in our piece hall, it is that there has been a
little more • demand for light mixtures of low quality.
For castings there is scarcely any inquiry. Higher rates
have been obtained for some descriptions of yarn, but the
general disposition -seems to be not to operate to any
extent. There is pot so much doing in wool, and
another advance has been established.
HUDDERSFIELD, Dec. 20.—Since last Tuesday, busi-
ness in the warehouses has generally been good, consi-
dering the time of the year ; and a considerable quan-
tity of finished woollens and waistcoatings have changed
hands. In-the Cloth Hall and the manufacturers' shops
to-day,
the demand , has not been so brisk as the close
of last week would have led one to suppose ; but it has
been quite as brisk as that of any market which has
been he,ld lately, The downward tendency of prices

EMPLOYERS. AND EMPLOYED.— The accesion of a new
partner to the firm of Messrs. Partridge and Oakey,
was celebrated a few days ago, by a soiree, given
by the principals, in John-street school-room, Edgeware-
road, to the assistants and operatives employed in their
Paternoster-row, Edgeware-road, and Oxford Mews es-
tablishments. The Rev. R. 11. Herschell, occupied the
chair, supported by several reverend, literary, and com-
mercial gentlemen, among whom were the Revs. W. H.
Rule and J.T. Patteson, the editor of Tait's Magazine, Pro-
fessor Masson, of Harrow, &o. The proceedings com-
menced with an abundant and elegant Gold collation sup-
plied by MasterS, the contractor to the Crystal Palace.
The health of the Queen was then given by the chairman,
and the company united in singing the National Anthem.
A series of appropriate toasts and speeches followed, in-
creasing in interest as the evening drew to its close.
The toast of the evening—" Messrs. Partridge, Okey,
and Co.—was responded to, on the call of the chairman,
by T. Sercombe, Esq., late of Exeter, the new partner.
He expressed the pleasure with which he contemplated
the new relation into which he had entered, the con-
fidence he entertained of the integrity , and religious
principle of those with whom he had become associated,
and his earnest desire to promote the welfare or the
operatives. The manly, genial, and Christian tone of
his address appeared to be warmly appreciated. Messrs.
Partridge, Oakey, and other gentlemen, also addressed
the company, and at a late hour the proceedings termi-
nated ; all present being evidently convinced that the re-
mark of one of the speakers was well worthy of atten-
tion by all principals of business houses, that " knives
and forks " would be found no mean specific against the
prevalence of strikes. Eighty-two persons were present.

THE CANCER HOSPITAL.—This institution for meet-
ing one of the most painful afflictions to which poor
human nature is subject, was established in 1851,
in Cannon-row, Parliament-street, with provision for
in-door patients at Broniton, and already it has
given proof that it well deserve a wide and en-
larged support. There is fair ground to conclude
from the report before us, that in a great num-
ber of cases life has been saved, which must have been
sacrificed if the sure and steady progress of this cruel
disease had not been checked by the skilful hand which
this institution timely stretched forth. Nearly 400 per-
sons were under treatment in the course of the year,
either as in or out-patients, and of these only 15 died,
the disease probably having gone so far as to be beyond
human aid ; and of the remainder, 319 of whom were
females, a great proportion have been sent back rejoic-
ing to their families. Probably the public is little aware
of the extent to which this fearful malady prevails, but
an idea may be formed of it froththe fact stated by the
Registrar-general, that in the year 1852, it slew 936
persons in the London districts alone, and six years ago
a return showed that the deaths from it in the whole
kingdom in the 10 months amounted to 4,586. There
are many of the poor, we have no doubt, suffering from
it at this time in Essex, and their richer neighbours will
thank us for bringing under their notice an institution,
through which they can effectually aid them, and by their
contributions join in the Christian and philanthropic
worlt of assuaging human woe.—C4elntsford Olvonicle,

DEPLORABLE FATALITY.—It is rarely that we have
record an accident of so painful a nature as ono thatotco
curredi at Devonport on Friday night. when a young
man was suffocated under very extraordinary circum-
stances, It appeared that Isaac Jewels, a young man,
the 'deceased, arrived from' London at Devonport on
Friday, and on that evening he fell in company with a
young woman, named Sarah Rundle, who induced the
unfortunate young man to accompany her to a house in
Frarieis-alley, where he retired to bed with her. On the
following morning the woman found him lying by her
side dead. A surgeon, Mr. Baldy, was called in, and
on examination of the deceased it was ascertained that
he had lain with his face on the pillow, and the pressure
of his body on his chest so cumbered his lungi that' they
had no room to play, and suffocation ensued. This very
awful event has occasioned the most poignant grief to
the respectable family with whom the deceased waa con-
nected. An inquest was held on the body, and the jury
had no difficulty in arriving at a decision as to the cause
of.death.--Plymoutlt
