A Bahama paper, of the 25th of July, states, that
the survey of the Gulf-stream has been completed,
and that a new chart is prepared to be transmitted
to the Lords of the Admiralty. It is said that the
errors of all the old charts on the most prominent
points of the Gulf-passage have been the cause of so
many vessels getting on the Florida-reef.
The following dreadful detail is extracted from a
letter received at South Shields by the wife of a sea-
man on board the Greenwich, a South Sea whaler:

" Sum GRIUMPICH, JAW. 7,1821.—0 r, the 21;th of Novem-
ber last, at five a. at. we heard a noise in the cabin, and the Se-
cond Mate, C. WootA, rushed from the deck to ascertain the
cause, but was met on the cabin-ladder by a man, a native of
Lima, who immediately stabbed him in the breast, and ran for-
ward along the deck and stabbed A. DI:CFMT, then lying on the
windlass, and afterwards ran about the deck stabbing five other
men, he then jumped overboard. We found the Captain and
Chief Mate in the cabin, stabbed in the breasts. The Cap-
tain's name is B. HA3IMET, and the Chief Mate's J. SN/PPER.—
Thus have I given you as faithful an account as I am able of
this transaction. We have sou barrels of oil now on board, and
I hope soon to have more. (Signed) " WM. SHORT."

TREMENDOUS INUNDATION.—Friday last, Holy-
well, near Chester, and its neighbourhood, were vi-
sited with one of the heaviest falls of rain ever remem-
bered, accompanied with tremendous thunder and
lightning. About one o'clock, the villagers in the
lowlands became greatly alarmed by the torrents
which descended in all directions from the mountains,
and with such extreme rapidity, that it became very
difficult for them to escape the danger of being
drowned. Several houses were nearly demolished
by the violence of the storm. The cotton-works in
Holy well sustained much damage from the over-
whelming torrent forcing its way through the lower
stories with such rapid progress, that the lives of the
people employed in the works were gteatly endan-
gered, the lower rooms becoming literally filled in a
few seconds. Greenfield appeared most awful, the
inhabitants of which were crying in all directions for
help, and flying for security to the sides of the hills.
The copper-works were also speedily filled with the
flood, which created no inconsidet able degree of
alarm. On the waters reaching the heated steam-
furnaces, the latter burst, with an explosion resem-
bling a heavy clap of thunder ; some part of the
works, in consequence, took fire ; and tt was not
without difficulty extinguished. Coals, and lead, and
copper ore, were washed in considerable quantities
from the different worm's in the neighbourhood. On li
Saturday morning, the Marsh (below Holywell) pre-
sented a scene of desolation, in which were discover-
able the wrecks of valuable property which had been
swept away by the impetuous deluge. Coal, copper
and lead ore, cotton in packs, broken machinery, dead
cattle, household furniture, stacks of hay, sheaves of
corn, and, in fact, all kinds of materials which lay in
the progress of the waters, were forced before the
storm. It is said, that the loss sustained by the cot-
ton and copper works is estimated at several thou-
sand pounds; and it is likewise reported that three
persons fell victims to the ravaging deluge.
