FLOODS THE SoUrH OF FRANcE.-A letter from
Castelsarrasin, in the Tarn-st GGronns OF the Sth
ultimo, states that the river Garonne had over
Howed its banksIn an extraordinary manner. In
less than two hours the entire plain flooded to
the very gates OF the town, where the water had
risen to the height of three feet.
The mayor sent boatmen to the aid of the in
babltants, who were menaced with drowning by
the rising Of the waters. The authorities having
been informed that sixty INDECENT persons had bee
deprived OF food and shelter, granted them relief
The loss Of property Is enormous, the crops are
totally destroyed, and the high road il cut I'D to
the extent Of two hundred and eighty yards
Accounts from Folk, in the 4risge, of the l4th
ultimo, state that considerable damage has been
caused in that neighborhood by the over1owing of
the river Hers, with impetuosity experienced
for many years. Five houses In the village of
Canon bad disappeared, with all their furniture.
The wall of the canal at Besset had been swept
away The damage caused to the crops is meal
culable.
Similar accounts have been received from Per-
pignan, where the foundations have destroyed the
last hopes of the farmers. The growing crops,
which a few days previously presented the most
luxuriant appearance, are now laid waste. vast
number Of families at Milas and lie have been
reduced to the greatest distress Further destruc,
ton has been caused at Cerat and Prades.

November, 1851, in the name of Jacob Mus.ina,
for the recovery OF. the rights and interests upon
certain lands situated opposite the city of Msta.
moros, Mexico, and now the site of the town Of

ment improvements thereon, were acquired for
and on account of plaintiff, Charles StIman and
Samuel A. Belden-Stillman to hold one half, and
the other half TO be held by Belden and plaintiff.
The plaintiff further alleged that Stillman and
Belden fraudulently sold to Bassee Herd, ator.
neys at Brownsville, the right and ttle well Of
themselves as the plaintiff, to the lands in ques-
ton. The jury found verdict for the plaintiff,
ordering Bassee & Herd 10 recover all the title
they had acquired to the plaintiff in ninety days,
or pay to him SPA 900 in lieu of the title, and
also to pay him S25.00O damages.

TIE MoaMoSs lSrzRFERISG WITH THE FIsHzR-
MrN.-The Detroit Free Press has a statement from
Mac kinaw that the Mormons have been commit
ting numerous depredations the fishermen,
burning their dwellings, robbing them of their fish
in barrels, destroying their salt, and seaing their
nets, boats, clothes, money, and provisions. At
Birch Point, Gull river, Pine river, and Grand
Traverse, depredations have been committed; and
it is stated that quite number of fishermen at
Mackinaw are now ready TO commence business,
each with stock worth from s 400 to $500, who
dare not go to the fishing grounds for fear of the
Mormous. A public meeting has been called OF
the citizens of Mcbilimackinsc county, "to devise
ways and means of protecting themselves against
the felcnioos depredations of the Mormons." The
Micbilimac kinacians state that they cannot reach
the Mormons with administration Of law, from the
fact that the county in which the Mormons most
do congregate and do violence is under their own
jurisdiction; and that offenders must be tried on
Beaver Island, by Mormon tribunals, with devoted
hornons for witnesses and iurymen
