The damage done in Scotland by the late inundations
is immense. The loss sustained by the Duke of Gordon alone is
estimated at 30,0001. as the water rose so high in some places, that
a house of Lord Fife's, near the river Spey, was flooded to the
first floor, which was found covered with mud a foot deep, after
the water receded. Two new bridges have been de•troyed .by the
overwhelming element, and two others, that had resisted the floods
for a century, have been nearly swept away. In consequence of the
thin population in this part of Scotland, it will be scarcely possible
to repair the damage, so far as regards the bridges, without Go-
vernment aid, as numerous indu,trious intlisiduala• have been com-
pletely ruined, and others much. injured in their property, in an
extensive district, by the late tremendous storms and unprece-
dented inundations.

words was so ludicrous that the magistrate could not refraba from

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

MANSION-HOUSE.

The City Solicitor waited upon the LORD MAYOII, in conse
queue of an application to him from the Greenwich coacbmer,
who have ►egun to find that they sustain great injury on account of
the late regulations with regard to stage-coaches driving into the
City during church time on Sundays.
The City Solicitor stated that Greenwich coachmen were as re-
markable for their civility as the Paddington coachmen were for
opposite conduct, and that they had, since the new regulations had
been entered into, sustained considerable Lou by being prevented
from taking their accustomed station!. They begged that he would
intercede with the Loan Mayoa, in order to procure for them
some accommodation, and suggested the following, viz. that they
should be allowed to station themselves in future in Gracechurch-
street during the hours of Divine Service, and they promised that
they would depart each in his turn, withoot noise, after the lapse
of every quarter of an hour. They promised to observe this re.
gulatioc, if it were approved of, most punctually ; and be (the City
Solicitor) thought that his Lordship might consent to it without any
fear of its violation.

The LORD Maros said he thought the proposition a very reason
able one, and that he should receive a deputation from the Green.
with coachmen on the subject. He was determined that Divine
Service should no longer be subjected to interruption from stage
coachmen ; and as for the Paddington coachmen he should direct
that a constant eye should be kept upon them. He should not at
all wonder, from what be was constantly hearing about %be conduct
of the latter, if he heard that some of them would be brought out
for public execution.
Tbo regulations have, as may be supposed, excited a great deal
of annoyance to the heroes of the whip, and the church-goers re-
ceive a corresponding accommodation. The public who merely
come into town or go from it, without thinking of church, com-
plain a good deal about the existing restrictions.
