ST. GALL IN SWITZERLAND, Oct. 6.

We have received the most afflicting accounts of the inundations
which have almost entirely ruined the villages of Misoz and Ca-
lanky where the Moho and the Ca'encases, swelled by the tor-
rents, have caused dreadful ravages, Groom is almost wholly de-
stroyed. At Rogoredo, a river now Sows in the place where a
few days ago stood the church of St. Sebastian, and many fine
habitations. At Canso the waters threatened to swallow up every
thing; the clergyman with his puishooen assembled in the church,
had given up all hopes of escape, sod recited the prayers for the
dead. There was only pus young man drowned. On the ilOth
of September, the waters again threatened the communications be-
tween Coke and St. Gall, on the frentiers of the Grimm ; but the
efforts ache inhabitants of Repts still kept them within bounds.
At the very moment of danger the Gosenunent of St. Gall sent
M. Hihi, one of the Judges, to the spot; some days later, M.
Saylem, Counsellor, and 31. Baumgartner, Secretary of State,
visited be whole frontier Use, In order to.etielpt such measures as

STOCKHOLM, San. 22.
The little squadron which sailed' a few weeks ago, for the put.
pose of exercise, returned it the beginning of last week—the result
having proved highly satisfactory. The usefubsessof small boats for
the defence of the,coast was confiruse.d. :guns ow beard them
can be fired with extraordinary.accuracy and rapidity, viz. three
times in two minutes. It was also observed that these small ves-
sels keep theses well in stormy weather, and are easily managed.
The experiments made with their boats have fully succeeded. A
single steam-boat drew after it 52 gunboats; and towed half a
German mile (two and half English miles) in an hoar ; with a quite
contrary wind it drew 16 gun-boats for four miles (20 English),
and advanced about three and a quarter English miles in an hour.
In this cruise a new system of mancauvring was tried and adopted.
Though it rained incessantly from the Ist to 15th September, the
Crown Prince was present, and directed all the mausuvres.
Count Bilden, Governor-General of Norway, with Admirals
Krmutedt, Coyet, and Eliot, were in the suit of the Crown
Prince. The squadron consisted of two divisions of small, and
two of large boats; two vessels for the Commanders, one for the
pupils of the military school, one for reconnoitring, two trans-
ports, the Norwegian Corvette Alien, and the Swedish brig Dol.

The report which prevailed on Saturday, of two or
three Turkish Pashas uniting their forces to march on
Constantinople, not being confirmed this morning by any
arrivals from the Continent, caused our Consol Market to
continue finn at Saturday's leaving-off price, 901 to 1
for the Account, and 90 for Money.
A Montreal Paper, one day later, of the 18th Sep-
tember, has been received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee-house, stating that the crops below Quebec
have suffered from a late severe storm.

Bombay, June 15, and from Madras, July 5. We do
