FLOOD AT ST. LoUIs-Immense Destruction Of
Property and Loss Of Lite.-We take the following
from the Memphis Eagle Of the Goth &c In the
southwestern portion of the city of ST. Louis there
is a large sheet of water, about half mile broad
and about three in length, Familiarity known as
Chouteau's Lake This lake, containing thousands
and thousands of cubic feet of water, has but one
outlet over a dam erected for milling purposes.
This dam is at the gorge of a small ravine, which
widens into plain thickly covered with private
residences. We have verbal information of the
most respectable character, that sometime on the
22d inst, this dam suddenly broke, and the immense
volume of pent-up waters when dammed-up nearly
fifty feet above the level of the plain we have i'm
perfectly described ,preciptated without moments
warning upon the dwellings below. The plain
was Immediately flooded, and heavy loss of pro-
perty and some loss OF life ensued. We have no
particulars but judging from the immense volume
of water which must have escaped on the breaking
of the dam, and from the character Of the ground
flooded, the consequences must have been very
disastrous.

RAILROAD IRoN.-The Boston Traveller says
that contracts for railroad iron, delivered in Boston,
duty and all charges paid can be made in England,
at twenty dollars per tOn-a price which efectu-
ally closes the rolling mills in New England. The
mill at Wareham having furnished that made upon
contracts, stopped last week. Nothing short of
seventy dollars per ton, it is said, will pay the
ufacturer of railroad iron in this country, and many
declare seventyv dollars TO leave but little profit.
Here is an illustration of protective tariff. Let
the reader estimate the cost between the price of
English and American iron, as here stated, for
building the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and he will
see what nice little bounty restriction on trade
would furnish from the pockets of the people here
to the northern manufacturers. This is an argu-
ment which comes home-Mo6iIe Tribune.
