about five o'clock in the afternoon, a large reservoir,
situated on the hill south-east of Greenock, burst its
banks, and descended in a torrent for ahon: a mile,
through its usual course, and emptied itself into a se-
cond and smaller lodgment formed immediately ad-
jacent to the mills of Messrs. Bryce. The embank-
ment here for a short time resisted its pressure, and
the accumulating water rolled over it ; but at last the
torrent forced evtry thing before it, and spreading in
its descent, almost instantaneously Bolded a large
part of the village of Cartsdyke, sweeping away seve-
ral small houses, and threatening a general devasta-
tion. The water forced the doors or windows of al-
most every ground floor, and, besides the small houses
already noticed, which were carried off with all their
contents, several new buildings going on at the time,
and nearly finished, were partially swept away, or so
much damaged that it will be necessary to pull part
of them down. Many other disasters occurred, and
a greatnuMber of families have suffered, more or less,
in their bedding. furniture, &c. but no lives were lost.
