Flood at Albany-$2,OOOO0O Damage

ALBANY, FEB, y.
As was anticipated yesterday the tremen'
dous flood of last night OccasiOned to an amount
impossible at present to conjecture, but when
cannot fail to reach SO 100000.
All last night the city was the scene OF the
utmost confusion aud excitement. The cluzsns
were engaged on the docks and in the lower
mart OF the city in removing goods and storing
them away in the second stories Of stores and
buildings, where it was thought the hood would
not reach them, but these calculations proved
erroneous.
About balf-past 10 o'clock the ice commen-
ced moving in ths.river with tremendous fOrce'
threatening the bridge On State Street for some
time. The water rose so rapidly that all those
working on the docks and piers were comPsil-
ed to make rapid retreat. The water com
menced rising in the river at O'Clock this NOR
ming, when it reached point feet higher
than ever known before.
The entire lower part Ofthe city is Hooded as
h;sh az Green street. The lower part OF Her
kimer, Hudson, Lydia, Hamilton and Parable
streets are submerged to the first stories o.
the buildings 90 them.
The water flowed through Broadway from
the Exchange to III, Delavan House. flooding
the stores and flling the cellars. The streets
between Broadway and the river was naVIga
BILE by boats.
The great flood commenced about 2 o'clocl
in the morning. and the water rose lncAss u
Eve minutes. Persons who had retired TO be-
thinking themselves safe. we're aroused o
borsemen who rode through the water knock
t inc at the doors of houses, to arouse the SLEEP
ers to a sense Of their Danger
The widest confusion prevailed; the peop'
in the lower parts Of the city having o're'
! time to escape with their lives
i The excitement consequent upon the Noe
= and fir. has continued unsbatcd through u
d day.
The Common Council met this afternoon al
appointed COMMITTEES to take immediate ste
