DIFFICULTIES WITH TIE ENGLISH SoLpIERY-A
letter from Norwich (Eng) of Oct. 49, says:
You may possibly have heard, through some of
your ordinary extraordinary channels ofn forna-
ton, Of what has been going on here amongst the
military. Great uncasiness, can assure you, is
felt in the barracks. n spirit of characterization in
which political feeling has bsea mixed up, has
shown itself amongst the troops A considerable
number are in confinement, and court martial will
speedily be held, with fear, fatal results. Cons
dcrable pains arc taken at present to conceal the
facts, but you may rely upon what tell you.

TREAT FLOOD IN THE NoRTu.---The rains of
Thursday night and Friday had been extremely
hoavy among the mountains both cast and
OF this city, and the rivers Eden and Caldew we're
in consequence, rapidly swollen to great height.
The former came down in 4 mighty torrent, and
ress at the least eight feet in few hours; bursting
grounds far and wide. In the immediate neighbor-
hood oil this city, some hundreds of acres were
under water and from Eden Bridge the sceno
both cast and west, was one of an expansive lake.
Tao Caldew, too, rolled its waters with great i'm
petuosiiy, and spread them abroad to a great ex
t,nt-Near the confluence of those rivers, the
"mceting Of the waters" served to increase the
flood, the fields adjoining wore deeply and extern
sively inundatcd-the bank round one portion of
them, that had lately been erected, proving no
efficient barrier. Several bridges in the neighbor
hood have been injured; amongst these. one of
the most extensive, wo believe, is Rulehomo, on
the road from Carlisle 10 Brampton.
The Caldew roJe, on Friday, to a height which
has not been known since the flood of 1909 over
topping the cmbankments in several places, Saa
has done considerable damage The road at
Hawkesdale, OIL the brow of the river has been
completely washed away; but the most serious
damage we huvo heard of is that of the total de-
struction of the Bishops Bay, which had Just been
! built, and OF finished many weeks. The loss to
the propretors ofmanufactores is serious; but that
is not the worst part of it, several hundreds of
the working classes will be deprived of the means
OF subsistence, 1t is to be feared, during the whole
| OF the long winter that is approaching. Three
cotton mills, two forges and corn.mill have
been thrown off work by the diversion of the dam

The two lakes of Keswick and Bassenthwaitc were
lost in the general inundation, as nothing was TO
be seen but one immense sheet of water extending
from the head of DGrwent Water, to the foot Of
Bassenthwaitc Lake, distance of not less than Id
to Is miles The immense white sheet of water
was distinctly seen troni keswick, at which place
also, amidst the roaring of mountain torrents tho
far famed fall of water could be distinctly heard

tRIGHrFUL PREVALENCE OF THE SLAVE TRADE.
AT the moment when England is called upon to
sacrihce her colonies and to sanction the massa
ere OF her subjects, both white and black by com
pellng Immediate unqualified negro enancipa
ton, the slave trade is raging more fiercey than
ever La Sierra Leone in Liberia, and all along
the coast of Western Africa especially from Cane
ST. Paul to Cape Lubez, the traffic in human be-
| ings Is frlghttuly prevalent. If this be doubted

is exceedingly brisk thirteen vessels with corpocs
