We expected by this morning to give a
full list of the casualties on the river and
the damage TO property, caused by the in
undstion; but on visiting those Of the
deluged yards, shops and mills which cur
reporter could reach many of which re-
ceived no injury save the flooding with
water, 1t was found impossible to form any
estimate of damages; and in many CAGES
the wne and proprietors of the yards,
&c, were averse TO any statement of losses.
We are obliged, therefore, to simply state
that considerable damage was done all the
factories, &c, along the Flats, though not
so great as at first anticipated. The water
IN the river began to abate about noon YES
terday and this morning had most returned
70 its usual bed. The current, however,
was remarkably swift aud bore with it to
the lake all the fcatable articles that
"~wreckers' did not snatch from lis heay-
ing bosom.

on the river was completely submerged,
there being at least twelve feet of water
over it last night.
About six O'Clock last evening two heav-
lily laden schooners were lowed into the
river, but the task was severe and too much
Tor one tug TO accomplish, so that two were
required to stem the rapid current. We
learned no new disasters at this port fur
ther than mentioned in last evenings

lake had become calm but no one had vet
visited the wreck of the Arabian. None of

seated in a small canoe, neither capable of
managing it and were being hurried out
into the lake by the rapid current, the

dashed over her. Just on the point of
swamping asudden lurch brought the canoe
near the pier, where it was seized by some
bystanders and the imprudent couple saved
from what might have been a watery grave.
