FREsHEr.-The late heavy rains have
caused great rise in the James river. and the
wharves at Rockets are now completely inundat.
ed. Yesterday at 10 o'clock, gentleman who
seemed to be watching the RISE assured us that the
water was going up at the rate of twelve inches
per hour, and that too at ebb tide. Shockoe Greek
is full to over flowing, and the cellars Main street
in its neighborhood, are doubtless flooded Fortu-
natey the merchants have had ample warning to
remove their goods from the Easements, and will
therefore meet with small losses only. Timber and
wood dealers who had cargoes on the banks have
been less fortunate, many of them having large
amounts of their stock swept off by the swelling
flood If the water should continue to rise this
morning most of the mills and manufactures on the
banks ofthe river, will be compelled to suspend
operations until itrecedes. From all quarters we
learn that the water courses very high and ris
ing, and fears entertained that vast amounts of
property will be swept away and destroyed We
noticed yesterday that the lumber at the saw mill
the Manchester side of the river, at the South
ern end ofMayos bridge, was in fair way of be-
ing taken off by the fresh.

WELL SETTLED-The little chap John
Griffin, who found his way to the cage last Tues
day night, for attempting to appropriate $3.50 which
he picked up at Odd Fellows Hall, to his own use,
was brought before the Mayor yesterday and ex-
amined. Mr.. WILLIAM L. HARRISON. of Caroline
county, appeared in Court. and stated that on the
Dist of February he drew from the Farmers Bank
1851 Sc, on check made payable to w. c. Italia
ferro, and drawn by N. B. & c. B. Hill. That Of
this amount he had eleven $50 notes which he
thought he put into his pocket book. That night he
visited Odd Fellows Hall with lady, and opened
his pocket book to get out 81 gold piece but did
not then miss the roll of notes. Having no cause
to use the money, he never examined to see if it
was in his book, until he reached Caroline, when
he took out his wallet to loan Mr.. Turner $50, and
found that the $3.50 were gone. This statement
corresponding in the main with the one made by
the prisoner the Mayor of the opinion that the
money belonged to Mr.. Harrison; but as another
gentleman was said to have lost the same amount
of money, and about the same time, he would re.
tain it until Saturday, when if no other person
claimed and identified it, he would pay it over to
the order of Mr. Harrison.
The Mayor then kindly admonshed the prisoner
to be of better conduct in future, and on account
of his extreme youth released him from custody,
with directions to stay at home of nights and there
by shun bad company.

Of lord Clarendon, the British Minister Of

that the English and French Alliance re-.
lates to Western as wellas Eastern affairss
wfllfurther add, that the union between the two
governments has not been confined to tho Eastern
Question. The happy accord and good under.
stsbding between France and England, have been
extended beyond Eastern policy to the policy af
tecting all parts of the world, and ! am heartily

then my lords, at least one great good viii have
been secured by these ctions-thatt two great
and hitherto rival nations have learnt TO know and
TO appreciate each other better to reject the falacy
that they are each others natural enemy, and TO
be ready to act heartily together in any just and
righteous cause. fCheers."l
The correspondent adds, that rlmors of
similar character had been received at Wash
lngton from Paris, Madrid and Havana, and
mention rumor that upon the reception of
Lord Clarendon's declaration, Mr.. Marcy,
sent for Mr. Crampton,the British Minister,
and called his attention to it. If the remark
OF Lord Clarendon, refers to the curling of
American progress, there could be no better
opportunity than the present to join issue

CoLD Birthstone few days since three

chester, procured small boat, and arming them.
selves with double barrel fowling pieces, started
down the James river, on ducking excursion
With good tide and fair wind, they soon arrived
opposite Warwick when they were suddenly met
by heavy ''squall,' which capsized their little
craft, and sent the 'tror in search of the bottom
Coming once more to the surface, they managed to
get hold of the upturned boat and to hang to it. but
the water being very Deep they were unable to
right their craft, and but for the circumstance of
sail vessel heaving in sight seeing their situation
and coming to their relief after they had remained
in the wafer about an hour chilled almostto DEATH
the whole party might have fonnd watery grave.
As it was they escaped with a good ducking and
the loss of their guns.
When the "trio" had got on board, wet as drewn-
ed rats, they changed their apparel for sailors
