THE DELUGE AT sZEGEDIN.
Pesth, March l4.-A large portion OF the
suburbs of Szegedin being below the ordi
nary level of the river Thesis, the water
which rushed in from the higher
ground behind the town, being several fee,
above t. c present level of the river bore
down on its way the high road embark
ments, rushing in cascades into the lower
ground and inundating it with fearful rap
idity. Instead of 5 or G hours, which it
was calculated the flood would take to
spread through town, scarce an hour, and
half had passed before Szegedin lay sub
merged up to its present level. Withall,
however, some hopes are entertained. On
account of the alarm, which for days before
the occurrence of the calamity, reused the
people to a sense Of their danger and gave
them an opportunity TO fly for refuge, the loss
of life has not been very large; but the
victims must at any rate be numbered by
many hundreds if not thousands. Nor is the
havoc yet complete. Besides those swept
away during the terrible night, all through
Wednesday dull fatal sounds were heard in
all directions, indicating the successive of
falls OF buildings. The poorer classes were
extremely unwilling to abandon their homes.
In many cases force had to be used to pluck
the people from the houses that were in
dangerous condition. All communities in
the neighborhood vie with each other in
alleviating the distress. They are sending
provisions by land and water and opening
their houses TO secure the refugees EN-
peror Francis Joseph will forego his visit
to Pesth to receive congratulations on the
occasion Of his silver wedding. He desires
that the money intended for the festivities
shall be distributed among the sufferers by
the flood. The emperor and empress also
give 10000 florins from their private purses.
