Dreadful Enundation.

The distress caused in our neighbour
hood by the inundation is greater than the
severest evils of war. In the night, the
dykes were burst in two places. One
breach was 90 and the other 20 rods broad.
In the darkness of the night, it was impos-
possible for the inhabitants to do more than
save themselves, by retreating to the upper
part of their houses. At break of day a
most dreadful scene appeare district
of II German square (425 English square)
miles OF the most fertile land was under
water. Every where were seen white
sheets and shirts hung out as signals of dis
tress, and from every roof, the cries of the
sufferers were heard. Up to the 25th,
zoo cattle were drowned in MiIantz alone.
The continued cold makes the distress in
finite. Daily we see the flames arise in
the midst of the water waste, because the
people, benumbed with cold. try to warm
themselves, by making fires in the lofts OF
their houses.

CHAMBER OF PEERS.

Bulletin of the sitting of .apriL OF.
The report of the special committee of
seven, appointed to examine the law pro-
.Ject on the finances, vas made by Count
GARNER 1t was divided into three heads :
L. The establishment of the budget of
1915; that is to say, the exposition of the
ordinarles & extraOrdinaries of the army,
and the ways and means to which the go
vernment may resort to provide for its ex-
penses.
2. The discharge of the debt in arrear.
and due on the 1st January, 1917, and the
means adopted to provide therefor.
8. The payment of the loan of 100 mil
lions, raised in virtue of Royal Ordin-
ance, dated August 10Th, 1915.
In considering these topics in SUGGEST
on, the committee discussed several i'm
portant questions, particularly what is the
competence of Legislative Chambers with
respect to the public revenue, in monar-
chy ? The report concluded with recon.
mending the adoption of the law, which
the committee thought could not be longer
deferred without occasioning irreparable
prejudice to our finances.
Some debate arose on the question for
printing the Report.
One peer proposed to expunge certain
passages, which in his opinion could not
be assented to by the Chamber. This mo.
ton was seconded.
Other members observed, that the print
ing of the Report did not imply the appro-
baton of all that it contained On the con-
trary, by making curtaiments and correc-
tons, an official character would seem to
be given to the passages which were re-
tanned.
The question for printing was then put
and carried.
The Chamber then proceeded to ballot
on the law project. The number of votes
was 1855. which was afterwards reduced by
the nuIIity of three bulletins, to 1872 anil
the number that finally voted for the law
was 1871. The President accordingly pro-
claimed its adoption.
