TYp WEATHER.-After moderately pleas
-. d.v on Christmas, giving hopes that the
form was over, the rain set in again early
rbursday morning, and continued to fall stead
a. until about nine o'clock this morning. Dur
mo the most of the time it was raining very
MD and a high wind prevailed last night. The
Quantity of water that fell at this place in the
course of twenty-four hours ending yesterday
,,orninQ. measured four inches, and nearly
,,elve inches has fallen since twelve o'clock
saturday night. This morning, the water in
noor creek was within foot of the highest
mark attained on the 9th inst, and as large
Quantities of tailings have been washed out of
nod the volume of water in the creek must have
bsou greater this morning than at any previous

anty.
