Along Miibank-row the road and footpath were impas-
sable ; the river made its way through the iron gate
fronting the
jentrance to the Milbank Penitentiary, and
the water reached under the -prison-gates, and rushed
down to the stone wharfs and market gardens surroun&
ing_the Pena( ntiary. • - ,
VAUXHATL. AND LAMBETIL-011 tliC opposite bank of
this part of thi• river, namely, at Lambeth and up to
Vans hall, the effects Were equally disastrous. . The
Wandsworth-road from Vauxhall turnpike was-flooded,
and only passable by carriages, ; amid, the like was
the case in front of the station near the London and
South-western Railway terminus. Kennington-oval and
Old Vauxhall suffered extensively. ''• _
At, the gardens at Brunswick-house, formerly the re-
sidence of the Duke of Brunswiek, the wall by the side
of the river was washed away at the ebbing of the tide.
The water overflowed the gardens, and when returning
into its natural channel pressed so heavily against the
wall that it gave wayiand thawhole fell into the Thanies.
The houses .in pore-street, Lambeth, which are chiefly
occupied by fishermen and their -families, Were flooded
from two to three feet deep, as were also those in
Church-street. The churchyard -was also inundated..
At Stangate the flood commenced at Messrs. Searle's,
and flowed thence to Crosier-street, Palace New-road,
the Bishop's-walk, and thence along to Vauxhall.
BATTERSEA. —At Battersea-bridge no craft larger
than a small fishing-boat could pass 'under either arch.
The Ited-hpu2e suffered severely.
TEMPLE Ganp'ENs.--The Temple gardens were over-
flowed, And a boat might be seen rowed over them. The
Duke of -Buccleueles gardens Were wholly under water.
j The- enormous coffer-damn at Westminster-bridge was
full of .Water, and all labour was suspended. An old man,
employed as a watchman on board a barge moored on
the west side of Blaclariars bridge had a very narrow
escape of . being drowned. The barge had been driven
4 4.14,.),wind and tide, about four o'clock in the morning,
trritr'cre—titt4altres-Jes or; the ..age,- atbil-shomt
immediately sank. - A boat was put off at great risk to
his rescue.
Yesterday evening a man, named John Davis, was
taken to Guy's Hospital in a very exhausted state, having
been picked out of the water near Park• street, Southwark.
int • T Pool,.—A great deal of damage was done to the
shipping in the Pool, by being forced from their moor-
ings, and also to the coal barges moored at the different
wharfs. The Messrs. Horne, coal-merchants, of Bank-
side, are considerable losers, by three barges, coal-laden,
having got adrift, and . sunk. Messrs. Capel and. Co.
had no less than seven heavily laden barges adrift at one
time, four •of which have been recovered ; the rest are,
no doubt, sunken. •

SUBSIDING OF THE WATERS.—On the subsiding of
the waters in the evening a deposit of mud and filth was
left in the streets and houses which was very offensive.
People in all directions were busily employed pumping
water out of their cellars and warehouses. Many, how-
ever, deferred this operation, in the expectation that the
wind last night which was from the N.W. would keep the
water up Chatmel, and with the sprinz, tides will most
likely - cause another and more lofty rising of the water
this day. On the Surrey shore myriads of rats, driven
up the sewers by the flow - of the tide, were sten running
about the streets. to save: themselves from drowning ;
men and dogs killed. numbers. - -
The Gazelle'Steamer, Captain_ Hurst, from Hull, !1r.,.
.rived on Saturday 'afternoon, at half-past
.two o'clock,
vith. one hundred -passengers 'on board. During the
voyage the Gazelle. fell,-in with the wreck of the brig
Elizabeth, and another. esse],
.name unknown, which
afterwards' went down. Captain Hurst reports that he
met with several ether.vessels in the Swin with topina,3ts
gone, and considerable 'other damage, 'occasioned by the
late gales, which have caused great damage to the ship-
ping.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
.The damage done between London and Putney bridges
alone, is
.estimated at several thousand you ds. Tha
coTer-dam at theintended new chain-pier of llungerford
%ilia, is said to be so completely destroyed, that tt:e
whole of the work must be done over again. The cellars
and rooms of almost every 'house on the Surrey side of
the Thames, from' the Vauxhall-road to Waterloo-
bridge, arc still filled with water ; and this morning an
extraordinary scene was It itnessed, hundreds of persons
being employed in baling and pumping out the water.
-At: one time the water opposite the entrance of the
South
,Western Railway was six feet deep. It is
an extraordinary fact, that two watertnen named-Ander-
son, whO ply at Waterloo-bridge, and who took up two
gentlemen to witness the great oars match, actually
Atwed. 'their fare to the dOor of a public-house in Ful-
ham (a quarter of a mile from the shore), and obtained
some refreahment. A large quantity of land at Green-
wich; Woolwich, Erith, aad other places on the Kent
and Essex shores, .are still under water, and it will le . .
many days buforc anything like a correct statement Lf
,the damage can beOtained.- - -
