The bankrupt was then questioned in a searching manner
as to several of the sums mentioned above, and answered in
the most loose znd vague way and being unable to give sa-
tisfactory answers to many of the questions, the commission-
ers adjourned the examination. Not more than £4O has as

yet been received from the estate of the bankrupt. The
family of Dauncey are living in a style of great respectability
in the neighbourhood of Warwick.

EXTRAORDINARY HIGH TIDE

(From Tuesday's Morning Herald.)

Yesterday afternoon the tide in the River Thames rose to
a height which has not been remembered by the oldest in-
habitant on its banks.

From Blackwall to a considerable distance above the
bridges, it was one continued flood.
The water washed the steps of Fishmongers' Hall, on the
city side of London-bridge. On the opposite side, at Bank-
side, the water was at least five or six feet above the wharfs,
and Messrs. Barclay's brewhouse, in Park-street, was com-
pletely afloat, and their extensive cellars filled. It is
impossible to calculate the extent of the damage done, but
it must be immense.

The Temple-gardens overflowed, and a boat might be
seen rowed over them. On the opposite side of the river
was the same. Half an hour before high water the passen-
gers by the. Moonlight steamer had to jump for the steps at
Waterloo-bridge, and at Hungerford-marlcet it was necessary
to have a boat to convey the passengers on board. The
Duke of Buccleuch's garden's was seen wholly under water.
The enormous cofferdam at Westminster-bridge was full of
water, and all labour was suspended. The damage done is
most serious. At Lambeth, the Bishop's-walk was two feet
under water, and the tide flowed into the churchyard. It
was necessary to have boats to convey the passengers from
the church to the steam-boats. Fore-street, which is the
next to the river, was flooded ; and up to six o'clock the
water was being pumped out of the kitchins and cellars.
On Millbank, at Johnson's-wharf, the river found its way
into the low ground by the side of the Penitentiary, and en-
tirely stopped the passage on that aide of the river. It was
the same at the old Ranelagh-gardens ; but here more seri-
ous mischief has been done. At Battersea, and especially
near the Red House, the destruction was most severe. The
gardens at the South end of Chelsea College were under
water, and it was necessary, when the steam-boat arrived
at Chelsea, to take the passengers in a boat and put them
through a granary window, for the garden of the Old Swan
was a part of the river. Battersea Bridge appeared nearly
under water.

A poor woman was drowned in Plough-alley, Wapping.
She was bed-ridden, and the inmates of the house where she
lived, forgetting her in the confusion which prevailed, the
water rushed in, filled the apartment where she was confined,
and she was drowned. It was reported that another female
and her child were drowned in a house near the same place,
but it was impossible to approach the place to ascertain the
particulars. The excitement among the poor people in this
neighbourhood was extreme, and parents were running about
in all directions, seeking for their children who were missing,
and who, they were fearful, had been swallowed up by the
angry flood.

At six o'clock in the afternoon the trains discontinued
running on the Blackwall railway, in consequence of the rail-
way being overflowed at the Blackwall end.
Yesterday afternoon the spring-tide rose to a most extra-
ordinary height at Greenwich, Deptford, &c. The extensive
rope grounds of Henderby, Esq., at East Greenwich,
were flooded and completely under water, which had forced
the embankment. The Greenwich marshes, in the occupa-
tion of Messrs. J. and T. Wheatley, the coach-proprietors,
were covered with one sheet of water. The borough of
Greenwich, from Waterman's Pier towards the church, a
distance of 400 feet and upwards, presented a stream deep
enough to float a large boat, and in the space of half an hour
all the cellars, kitchens, and lower premises were filled with
water. The market-garden grounds belonging to Joshua
Hargrave, Esq., county magistrate, were in a like condition,
and many of the arches of the Greenwich railway might be
passed in boats. Deptford-creek, Deptford-bridge, the
houses on the south side of Blackheath-road, were all covered
with water, and the flood reached the parlour doors of a vast
number of houses. The damage done to property situated
in the lower part of Deptford and Rotherhithe is stated to be
very considerable.
