FLOOD IN THE T WEED.

ufnocrofinfteen with

Theavivoint, g was
i.eachheigdher
to
The present has been a remarkable year for floods in
the Tweed and Teviot. On the 30th of July last, the
r
wtTh-i7hieleiti(iit,fita:-atftdef:be its
of the for
celebrated flood of 1831 ; but the
Tweed itself was not so much flooded as the Teviot,
which latter was considered to have reached its height of
1831. Again, on the Bth of August last, the Tweed at
Eels° Brige, reached to within eighteen inches of the
flood of the 30th; the Tweed e.n this occasion was much
larger than on the former, but the Teviot was con-
siderably less. On both occasions much damage was
done, large tvantities of hay ricks, timber, carts, and
even sheep have been carried down the stream.
We have now to notice a third flood, greater than either
of the preceding. ones, which took place yesterday
(Tuesday). Previous to Sunday last there had been a
good deal of rain in this quarter, but the greater part of
the latter day was fair, and even fine. During Sunday
night, however, it commenced to rain heavily, and con-
tinued to do so, almost without five minutes intermis-
sion at any time until last night. The streams in the
vicinity began, during the time, to show the usual effects,
becoming discoloured, and swelling rapidly ; and be-
tween eight and nine o'clock last night, the
Tweed, previous to its junction with the Teviot,
was nine inches higher than in 1831, and much
higher than in either of the cases above alluded
to ; and even at Mayfield, below Kelso Bridge
(although the Teviot was not beyond the size of an ordi-
nary flood) it reached to within three feet of the highest
mark of 1831. As may be supposed, a considerable
amount of havoc has been caused. Immense quantities
of timber, rural implements, railway sleepers, and other
articles, carried assay from the lower-lying grounds,
came down the stream. Several fishing and ferry
boats also came down, and one of these, belonging
to the person who keeps the ferry at Kelso Ana, was
dashed against the Pier-head, near Kelso mills,
and broken to pieces ; another, belonging to Captain
Fultor, of the Holmes, near St. Boswell's, was
recognised at the Pier-head by his name being up-
on it, and attempted to be got out by the bystanders ;
but after two or three fruitless endeavours, it was
carried away by the strength of the current. The
terrace, known by the name of the Chalkheugh, which
is a great height above the bed of the Tweed, and
commands a fine view of its junction with the Tevoit,
is guarded by a stone wall, beneath which, terraced
in the cliff, are small gardens and shrubberies, so that
the wall is several feet backward from the stream, as
well as a great height above it ; nevertheless, last
night between nine and ten o'clock, this wall fell into the
green below. A young man, son of Mr. John Murray,
clogger, who among others, was near it at the time,
fell with it; but, though the height from the top of
the wall is thirteen or fourteen feet, we are glad to say
he sustained no further injury than a few slight bruises;
the houses on the terrace are only a few feet backward
from this wall. The garden wall belonging to Mr.
Mein, cabinet-maker, situated a little lower down the
stream, and at the foot of the terrace, fell bodily into
the water; there was then nothing left but the loose
soil of the garden for the current to act upon ; and it
was fortunate that the flood was then beginning to sub-
side, otherwise the dwelling-house itself would have
been in imminent danger. The small river Eden, which
falls in the Tweed, between two and three miles below
this, was also in high flood ; the tool house, and other
dwellings at Ednam were inundated by the bursting of
a large drain, and the inmates were compelled to leave
them.—Kelso Mail.

....APICURE OF A WHALE.—(Extract of a letter from
Clifden, Connemara).--" There has been a large whale
killed here yesterday morning by General Thompson;
it is sixty-five feet long, and twenty-four feet broad,
and it has a fin about ten feet from the tail on the back.
The whales about which I have read are not described
with this fin."

There was lately picked up in the streets of Exeter
an order upon the Queen of Spain for the payment of
200/. in favour of Mr. Aberdein, a surgeon. It is now
in the hands of a respectable tradesman,' awaiting the
claim of an owner.
