The Overflow.

MEMPHIS, May 1.-THE steamer Check,
from below, brings important news regarding
the overflow of the Mississippi. At nine o'clock
yesterday, morning the evee 10 front of Friar' 8
Point on the Mississippi, broke at Maynard s
and Mier's. The former orevasse is one hun
dred yards wide and the latter fifty, and as the
water outside the evee was fully five feet above
the level the inside water poured through in
an immense volume, detying all attempts to
check it, and soon inundated the town and sur
rounding country. The crevasses will inundate
a very large and rich section of cotton lands.
The St. Francis river was stationary yesterday,
and the levee on the Helena or Arkansas side
still held good. About two thousand hands
are engaged in strengthening it, but the river
had made cut off yesterday at Council Bend,
cutting off some fourteen miles, and in conse-
quence the river is rising below the cut off at
the rate of one inch per hour Further news
from Helena is anxiously looked for.
