The Tempest down yesterday, reported rise
13 inches the night previous at Alton. In
ming down yesterday morning, she took from
water at the mouth of Wood river, about
rty men, women and children, who had been
iven by the food from their homes.
The towns Of Madison, Venice and Brooklyn,
iposte tine northern limits of the city, and
inoistown are overfowed. The water is up
many Of the second stories in Brooklyn
no or three frame houses floated past the city
esterday, bound, we presume, for the Gulf.
At 10 o'clock last night the water was up to

y TO tbs other. After dark last evening, the

The greatest distress is said TO prevail among
the inhabitants in the bottoms and low lands
along the Missouri. Boats down yesterday
report having been detained in rendering as
sistance, removing families, furniture, stock,
&C., from one point TO another. The destruction
Of property will be immense
The steamer Pride of the West left this city
last evening for Grafton, at the mouth of the
Illinois, for the purpose of taking on large
quantity Of grain threatened with an overflow.
At late hour last evening, a majority of the
merchants on Front street had succeeded in
getting their goods into the upper stories, or to
warehouses in the city, and very few will sus-
tain any damage other than the expense of
moving, and the consequent depreciation of
trade 80 long as the high water remains.
