BALTIMORE, August 16.--One of the
severest rain storms for many years past
has Just occurred here, lasting from Wednes-
day evening until this morning. Many
streets were flooded, and the floors Of stores
and dwellings covered in many places with
two feet of water. causing considerable
loss. The houses of the factory people at
the Clipper Factory were all flooded, and
the occupants were removed in boats. All
the factories and Touring mills in and
adjacent TO the city were much damaged.
Woods steam sugar refinery sustained
q heavy loss.
Travel on the Baltimore aud Ohio West
ern, Indianapolis and Northern Central
and Philadelphia railroad is interrupted by
the washing away of culverts on the North
ern Central. The down train this morning
was unable to reach the city in consequence
of the engine falling into a culvert near
Woodbury., where it now lies buried in the
stream In falling the engine crushed
the great water main which supplies Mount
Royal reservoir, rendering it necessary to
shut off the supply.
The Philadelphia road, near this city, in
many places is several feet under water, and
owing to the uncertain state of the road, the
usual morning trains did not go out.
Through trains from New York last
night fell into a culvert about fourteen
miles from the city, breaking the express,
bagga age and mail cars, and injuring Ford,
express agent Flandren and Easton, of
Philadelphia, mail agents. Baggage mas
ter Ransom was also slightly hurt. No one
killed.
The damage to the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad is expected to be repaired, and
trains running regularly tomorrow morn
ing.
OF the rumors of loss of life in the city,
only two seem authentio-a white man
and boy. Fourteen were carried off by the
violence of the waters.
The reports from the surrounding coun-
try indicate the loss to be immense, the
whole country being inundated. Falls
turnpike was in many places five to ten
feet under water. The damage to crops is
not yet estimated. Weather still showery.

of Farmosa, of the wreck Of the Rover.
The Admiral is satifsed that all the crew,
except one Chinaman, were murdered, and
that the barbarities OF these savagss can't
be permanently stopped, until the govern
ment at PeIzin can be induced by the action
of American and other foreign ministers at
that court, to occupy all the villages on the
eastern coast, and thus drive the aborigi-
mes back to the interior of the island.
The Admiral adds that as there is no
government to deal within this latter place,
| shall proceed at once with this ship and
one or two others to the south end of Fer
mosa and land small arms to scour the
thickets and break up whatever nests of
the wretches that may have been there.
